RESOLUTION APPROVING THE INSTAl J.ATION OF STOP SIGNS ON ZAMORA
DRIVE AT ALHAMBRA ROAD
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the installation of two-way
stop signs on Zamora Drive at Alhambra Road.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Staff received a request for a two-way stop installation on Zamora Drive at Alhambra Road. Currently,
there is no stop sign on either Zamora Drive or Alhambra Road. Vehicles on Zamora Drive yield to
traffic on Alhambra Road with free flow of traffic on Alhambra Road. The Traffic Advisory Committee
(TAC) reviewed this request at its February meeting and determined that a two-way stop sign could be
installed on Zamora Drive at Alhambra Road if a petition was received from a majority of residents on
Zamora.
In May 1989, the City Council adopted a policy that directed the Engineering Staff to consider the
collection of a petition (by the resident) for stop signs to be installed at intersections on minor/local
residential streets. The policy indicates that the majority of residents living within a 300-foot radius of
the intersection must agree to the stop installation and therefore, sign the petition. This policy was
added, as the warrants set by the Department of Transportation may be (at times) too stringent for
minor/local residential streets.
Staff received a petition with signatures of residents who live within the 300-foot radius of the subject
intersection. Of the 20 residents within the 300-foot radius, 16 residents signed a petition requesting the
installation of a two-way stop on Zamora Drive. The stop sign will assign right-of-way to the vehicles
on Alhambra Road requiring traffic on Zamora Drive to stop. It is therefore, recommended by the
Engineering Division and the Police Department for the City Council to approve the installation of a
two-way stop at the intersection of Zamora Drive and Alhambra Road.
Please refer to Exhibit 1 for the vicinity of the intersection and Exhibit 2 as it displays the existing
condition and the proposed recommendation for the installation of a stop sign.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of South San

SUBJECT: Gateway Redevelopment Project Area Survey and Lead Consultant
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Designating a Survey
Area for the amendment of the Gateway Redevelopment Project Area and approve by motion
issuance of a Request for Proposals for the Lead Consultant to prepare the Plan Amendment.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The South San Francisco Community Gateway Redevelopment Project Area (Project Area)
consists of 176.2 acres of predominantly urbanized areas within the City of South San Francisco.
The site consists of two distinct geographical sub-areas. The first sub-area, comprising 67.4 acres
of land, is devoted to public transportation uses, with 23 acres of railroad Uses and over 43 acres
of streets and highways. The second sub-area, totaling 108.8 acres, is comprised of two privately
owned parcels: the vacant Bethlehem Steel plant property (99.4 acres) and the Edward Wire
Rope Factory property (9.4 acres).The Project Area was adopted by the City Council in
Ordinance No. 867-81, dated June 17, 1981.
The Gateway Plan provides the Redevelopment Agency with powers, duties, and obligations to
implement and further the program generally formulated for the revitalization of the areas within
the boundaries in the Area. The Plan does not present a specific plan or establish specific
developments for the area. Instead, the Plan presents a process and framework within which
specific plans will be presented and approved. The major goals of the Plan include:
Elimination of blight and blighting influences;
Replan, redesign and development of large stagnated areas suffering from
obsolete plant facilities;
Establishment and implementation of performance criteria to assure high site
design standards and environmental quality;
Strengthening of the economic base of the Project Area and the community by
installing public improvements needed to stimulate new office, hotel, commercial
development, employment and economic growth.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Gateway Redevelopment Area Plan Amendment
April 23, 2003
Page 2
The Redevelopment Agency has proposed territory that would benefit from redevelopment, but is
currently outside the Project Area, be added to the existing Project Area. It is proposed that the
Gateway Redevelopment Plan be amended to include the addition of the Oyster Point Marina and
Business Park comprising approximately 57 acres in size.
The Marina is a boat-launching site and includes boat storage areas. The southem part of the site
offers open space and a windsurfing boat-launch ramp; the northern part includes the berths. A
pier at the eastern edge of the Marina juts out into the Bay. A few buildings exist in the interior
of the site, the largest of which is the Marine Center. A single story clubhouse is located east of
the Marine Center. Oyster Point Village and Marina Inn are located northeast of Oyster
Point/Marina boulevards.
The Agency wants to use the Project Area as a catalyst for commercial and recreational
development of the Oyster Point Marina and Business Park. The proposed added territory could
be the site for a new expanded conference center and hotel, making the marina an increasingly
popular focus for marine, recreation and commercial activity. Working with the Harbor District,
the City is also considering the feasibility of locating retail, offices, and other uses on the site that
help realize the full potential of the site and bring a greater number of people closer to the water.
The recently released Bay Ferry Action Plan by the Bay Area Council identifies Oyster Point as a
site for a potential ferry terminal. Additionally, the former solid waste disposal site located near
the eastern end of Oyster Point Boulevard is owned by the City and a cost of $1.6 million has
been estimated for remediation of the soils in order to prepare the site for development. The
landfill area has been proposed for the development of a new hotel.
CONCLUSION:
The first step in amending a redevelopment project area is for the City Council to adopt a
resolution designating a survey area. The purpose of the survey area is to designate that area of
the City that will be studied to determine whether the redevelopment project as amended is
feasible. The boundaries of the amended project area must be within the survey area as
designated by the City Council.
The study will focus on making a preliminary determination of the blighting conditions within
the survey area, the feasible land uses, the market demand for such uses, and financial feasibility
of funding redevelopment projects within the Survey Area. The boundaries of the area proposed
to be designated as the Survey Area include the entirety of the Oyster Point Marina and Business
Park.
he Resolution Designating a Survey Area is a necessary first step in the amendment process.

Over the next year, the Council as both the legislative body for the City and the Redevelopment
Agency will be periodically requested to address various aspects of the amendment process.
However, the next steps will actually reside with the Planning Commission, which will be asked
to establish the boundaries of the proposed Project Area. In addition the Commission will
determine whether to adopt the Preliminary Plan, which is a general discussion of the conditions
affecting property in the Project Area and how this property will benefit from Redevelopment.
The attached, Exhibit "B" indicates the location of the Oyster Point Marina and Exhibit "C"
provides a complete map of the Marina which will be the designated survey.
The Lead Consultant will propose a team, including sub-consultants, to provide fiscal, legal,
engineering and planning consulting services to the City of South San Francisco Redevelopment
Agency for the preparation and adoption of an Amended Redevelopment Plan for the Gateway
Project Area. The lead consultant will also prepare all documents including: Preliminary Report,
Draft Amended Redevelopment Plan, Final Amended Redevelopment Plan, and Report to the
Council on the Proposed Plan Amendment. The Lead Consultant, under staff supervision, will
direct the completion of all steps in the adoption process for the Plan Amendment, except for the
preparation of any environmental documents which might be required. A request for Proposals
for Environmental Services will be placed on the Agency Board's agenda in the near future.
Attached as Exhibit "D" is the Request for Proposals to be issued. Final Lead Consultant
selection and contract will be taken to the Redevelopment Board for authorization in July, 2003.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
LEAD CONSULTANT FOR AMENDMENT TO
GATEWAY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The City of South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency seeks a qualified Lead Consultant to
provide comprehensive services related to the preparation and adoption of an Amendment to the
Gateway Redevelopment Project Area Plan.
OBJECTIVE
The City of South San Francisco approved adoption of the Redevelopment Plan for the Gateway
Project Area (Plan) on June 17, 1981 by Ordinance No. 867-81. The South San Francisco
Gateway Redevelopment Project Area (Project Area) consists of 176.2 acres of predominantly
urbanized areas within the City of South San Francisco. The Project Area consists of two distinct
geographical sub-areas. The first sub-area, comprising 67.4 acres of land, is devoted to public
transportation uses, with 23 acres of railroad uses and over 43 acres of streets and highways. The
second sub-area, totaling 108.8 acres, is comprised of two privately owned parcels: the vacant
Bethlehem Steel plant property (99.4 acres) and the Edward Wire Rope Factory prooperty (9.4
acres).The Project Area was adopted by the City Council in Ordinance No. 867-81, dated June
17, 1981.
The City is considering amending the Plan the Oyster Point Marina and Business Park Properties
which comprise approximately 57 acres. The proposed added territory could be the site for a new
expanded conference center and hotel, making the Marina an increasingly popular focus for
marine, recreation and commercial activity. The City, in conjunction with the Harbor District, is
considering the feasibility of locating retail, offices, and other uses that help realize the full
potential of the Marina and bring a greater number of people closer to the water. The recently
released Bay Ferry Action Plan by the Bay Area Council identifies Oyster Point as a potential
site for a new ferry terminal.
The Marina is a boat-launching site and includes boat storage areas. The southern part of the
Marina offers open space and a windsurfing boat-launch ramp; the northern part includes the
berths. A pier at the eastern edge of the Marina juts out into the Bay. A few buildings exist in the
interior of the proposed added territory, the largest of which is the Marine Center. A single story
clubhouse is located east of the Marine Center. Oyster Point Village and Marina Inn are located
northeast of Oyster Point/Marina Boulevards. Additionally, the former solid waste disposal
property located near the eastern end of Oyster Point Boulevard is owned by the City. The City
has estimated that it will cost approximately $1.6 million for remediation of the soils in order to
prepare the property for development. The landfill property has been proposed for the
development of a new hotel.
Exhibit "D" Request for Proposals
07
The City will need to evaluate the potential impacts to the Marina's existing parking and
circulation infrastructure. The City is currently preparing plans to enhance pedestrian and bicycle
access by connecting Oyster Point Boulevard with the San Francisco Bay Trail. In the future, the
City may need to develop an overall parking strategy that reflects parking demand, potential for
sharing and location of common parking areas or structures.
BACKGROUND
During the 1970's, following the closure of the landfill, the City began to investigate several
alternative approaches to developing the Oyster Point Marina. The City Council eventually
approved the Oyster Point Marina Specific Plan District in 1982, which was subsequently
modified slightly in 1983. In addition to the open space areas and the pier at the periphery of the
Marina, the specific Plan essentially outlined three land use zones for the interior parcels:
Restaurants, hotels, motels, and offices in the western part of the Marina;
Boat storage, repair, and public buildings in the central portion of the Marina; and
Private clubs in the eastern part of the District.
According to the Specific Plan, implementation shall be through Precise Plans approved by City
Council.
The East of 101 Area Plan and the General Plan both designate the interior of the Marina as
Coastal Commercial. According to the East of 101 Plan, uses in this designation "shall typically
include" business/professional services, office, convenience sales, restaurants, personal/repair
services, limited retail, hotel/motel with a coastal orientation, recreational facilities, and marinas.
The Zoning Ordinance includes a specific Oyster Point Specific Plan District, which establishes
development standards and permits development of "coastal commercial" uses, including Bay-
oriented hotels and restaurants, on the interior parcels in the Oyster Point Marina.
The Bay Area Council updated the San Francisco Bay Plan in 1998. The Bay Plan policies for
Oyster Point provide for the expansion of the Marina and development of a shoreline park. The
Plan designates Oyster Point as a "water-oriented recreation" priority use area. The purpose of
this designation is to increase recreational opportunities along the bayshore. Use related policies
for shoreside parks can be summarized as follows:
Recreational Uses. A variety of recreational uses are encouraged, including
camping and picnic facilities, beaches, trails, marinas, launching facilities, and
fishing facilities. Recreational facilities not specifically oriented to the water
should be placed elsewhere, according to the plan, unless they are part of a larger
water-front oriented park.
Commercial-recreational Uses. Limited commercial-recreational uses are also
permitted, if incidental to the park uses and in character with the park, and if they
do not obstruct public access to the shoreline. Examples of commercial-
recreational uses include restaurants, specialty shops, theaters, and amusements.
Also, private boatels and restaurants are encouraged in yacht harbors.
There are no residential areas in the Marina. There are some live-a-boards which require a
discretionary rental agreement with the Harbor District.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The lead consultant will propose a team, including sub-consultants, to provide fiscal, legal,
engineering and planning consulting services to the City of South San Francisco Redevelopment
Agency ("the Agency") for the preparation and adoption of an Amendment to the Gateway
Redevelopment Plan to add territory to Gateway Project Area.
The Lead Consultant will be responsible for the preparation of all documents required for a plan
amendment to add territory in compliance with CRL section 33000 et seq including, but not
limited to the documents set forth below, and direct the completion of all steps in the adoption
process for the Plan Amendment, except for the preparation of any environmental documents
which might be required. City/Agency staff will facilitate all required mailings.
The Consultant will be responsible for preparation of the following documents:
Preparation of the Preliminary Report
Preparation of the Draft Amended Redevelopment Plan
Preparation of the Final Amended Redevelopment Plan
Preparation of the Section 33352 report to the City Council on the Amended
Redevelopment Plan
(It is anticipated that Redevelopment Agency staff will prepare required staff reports)

to the plan (legal descriptions and maps exist).
Attendance at required public meetings for City Council, Agency and
Commission.
Preparation of a detailed description of the proposed amended redevelopment
activities in consultation with Agency staff.
