Director of Economic and Community Development
681 Gateway Blvd. - Modification of Precise Plan PP-00-020 to allow a change
of use from office to research and development at 681 Gateway Boulevard, in the
Gateway Specific Plan District, and consideration of an addendum to previously
certified Negative Declaration (ND-00-020).

P-02-0030
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency open the public hearing and, by
motion: 1) approve an addendum to Mitigated Negative Declaration ND-00-020; and 2)
approve Case No. P-02-0030, a modification to approved Precise Plan PP-00-020, based on
the attached findings and subject to the attached conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND:
In July 2000, the Redevelopment Agency approved Mitigated Negative Declaration ND-00-020
and Precise Plan PP-00-020 to allow construction of a phased development consisting of an 11-
story office building, a 4-story office building and a 6-level parking garage at 611 & 681
Gateway Boulevard, in the Gateway Specific Plan Zone District. At present, the 11-story office
tower and the parking garage are nearing completion.
The proposed modification would alter the use of the 4-story building from office to R&D. The
building footprint and architecture would remain essentially unchanged, with only minor exterior
changes. In accordance with the provisions of SSFMC Chapter 20.57, the proposed change in
use requires a modification to the approved Precise Plan.
Staff Report
To: Redevelopment Agency Members
RE: 681 Gateway P-02-0030
Date: May 22, 2002
Page 2 of 3
DISCUSSION:
Building/Site Modifications - The building design is proposed to remain essentially unchanged
with the exception of an eight foot increase in the overall height of the building (due to increased
floor to ceiling height to accommodate mechanical ductwork), increased size of the roof
equipment enclosure and other similarly minor modifications to accommodate such a change in
use.
Two small service yards have been added to accommodate equipment needs: one at the northwest
comer of the building and one within the parking lot north of the building. The yard within the
parking lot would displace approximately eight spaces, but the total number of parking spaces
would continue to exceed the minimum requirements of the City' s Zoning Ordinance.
Design Review Board - The Design Review Board reviewed the project at its April meeting.
Since the architecture has remained essentially unchanged, the Board had only minor
comments regarding landscaping around the proposed equipment enclosure located within
the parking lot, which have been addressed in the conditions of approval.
General Plan/Redevelopment Plan Consistency
The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan which designates this site
"Business Commercial". Guiding Policy 3.5-G-3 for the East of 101 Area supports
biotechnology, high-technology and R&D uses in the area. In addition, the proposed use at this
site is consistent with both the Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) and the redevelopment
plan.
CEQA Compliance/Environmental Analysis
In accordance with CEQA, an Addendum to the approved Mitigated Negative Declaration was
prepared to assess the impacts of the revised project. The changes in the project are not large
enough in nature to warrant an entirely new environmental analysis, nor do they result in a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. In fact, the
proposed project would result in some less significant impacts (e.g. traffic and air quality) than
the original project.
The primary change is an increase in the water and wastewater calculations, due to the higher
requirements of R&D over office uses. The Addendum identifies two additional mitigation
measures needed to address potential impacts to off-site wastewater collection facilities, which
Staff Report

would reduce the impact to less than significant: one, that the project incorporate water
conservation measures (low flow plumbing fixtures, drought tolerant landscaping, etc.) and two,
that the applicant pay a fair share contribution to necessary improvements to the east of 101
sanitary sewer collection system, currently under study by the City Engineering Division.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed project is consistent with all the relevant planning related documents including the
East of 101 Area Plan, the Gateway Specific Plan District requirements, the Redevelopment Plan
and the Owner Participation Agreement. Therefore, based on the attached findings and subject to
the attached conditions of approval, staff recommends that the Redevelopment Agency approve
the addendum to Mitigated Negative Declaration ND-00-020 and approve Precise Plan P-02-
0030.
Attached are documents related to the case.

PROPOSED FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
P-02-0030
(May 22, 2002)
As required by the "Precise Plan Procedure for Implementation of Specific Plan" (SSFMC
Chapter 20.57, Section VII), the following findings are made in support of a Precise Plan
modification to allow a change in use from office to research and development at 681 Gateway
Boulevard, in the Gateway Specific Plan District, in accordance with SSFMC Section 20.57,
based on public testimony and the materials submitted to the City of South San Francisco
Redevelopment Agency which include, but are not limited to: plans dated 4/5/02 prepared by
Dowler-Gruman Architects; minutes of the April 2002 Design Review Board meetings;
Redevelopment Agency staff report dated May 22, 2002; and testimony received at the
Redevelopment Agency hearing of May 22, 2002.
The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan which designates this site for
Business Commercial Use. Guiding Policy 3.5-G-3 for the East of 101 Area supports
biotechnology, high-technology and R&D uses in the area.
°
The project in the Precise Plan is compatible with the intent and purpose of the Gateway
Specific Plan. The plan calls for the coordinated development of property in the District and
identifies that research and development uses should be permitted on this parcel.
3. The proposed project meets all development standards of the Gateway Specific Plan District.
4. The revised research and development project is consistent with the redevelopment plan and
with the Owner Participation Agreement.
5. Transportation Demand Management
The proposed TDM measures are feasible and appropriate for the project, considering
the proposed use or mix of uses and the project's location, size and hours of operation.
Sufficient measures have been included in the plan to achieve a projected 28%
alternative mode usage, as required.
bo
The performance guarantees provided in the plan will ensure that the target 28%
alternative mode use will be achieved and maintained. Conditions of approval have
been included to require that the Final TDM Plan, which must be submitted for review
and approval prior to issuance of a building permit, shall outline the required process
for on-going monitoring including annual surveys and triennual reports. Additionally,
the applicant shall be required to reimburse the City for program costs associated with
monitoring and enforcing the TDM program.
°
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (ND-00-020) was certified by the Redevelopment Agency
on July 26, 2000. This document analyzed the potential environmental impacts of the project
as an "office only" development. Due to the proposed project modification, an addendum to
this Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines and the City of South San
Francisco Guidelines for the Implementation of CEQA. Some changes and additions to the
Certified Negative Declaration are necessary, but none of the conditions described in CEQA
,
Guidelines Section 15162 calling for a subsequent Negative Declaration have occurred. On
the basis of substantial evidence in the record, no major changes are proposed which will
require major revisions to the previous Negative Declaration, nor would the modified project
result in a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. In
fact, the proposed project would result in some less significant impacts (e.g.,traffic and air
quality) than the original project. No new information has arisen that was not known or could
not have been known when the previous Negative Declaration was prepared. Therefore, no
subsequent Negative Declaration is required for the project, as revised

shall be installed within the site drainage systems, as required to prevent pollutants
deposited within the site from entering the public storm drainage system. Plans for
these facilities shall be designed by the applicant's civil engineer and submitted to the
City Engineer and the City's Environmental Compliance Coordinator for review and
approval.
2. OYSTER POINT OVERPASS CONTRIBUTION
The applicant's predecessor (Homart Development Company) pm-paid the Oyster Point
Overpass fee for property now owned by the applicant, Gateway Center LLC, in accordance
with the terms of the "1993 Amendment to the Amended and Restated Owner Participation
and Development Agreement", between the City and the Homart Development Company,
dated January 27, 1993. Therefore, no payment toward the Overpass Fee fund was
specifically required and calculated for previously reviewed projects. However, the terms of
the agreement provided that the pre-payment "purchased" a maximum of 16,136 average
daily vehicle trips (ADT) and that the fee would be paid when development, within
properties covered by the agreement, exceeded a combined total of 16,136 ADT.
A review of the existing developments within the properties covered by the agreements
indicates that the calculated average daily trips for buildings occupied or under construction
now exceed the maximum authorized in the Homart OPA. Therefore, the Oyster Point
Overpass fee would need to be paid for the subject building. This fee if paid in the month of
April 2002 would be $276,965, as detailed below. The fee (adjusted for inflation) shall be
paid prior to receiving a building permit for 681 Gateway Boulevard.
Prior to receiving a Building Permit for the proposed office buildings, the applicant shall pay
the Oyster Point Overpass fee, as determined by the City Engineer, in accordance with City
Council Resolutions 102-96 and 152-96. Based upon the information shown on the
applicant's application and the April 2002 Engineering News Record San Francisco
Construction Cost Index (7661.83) the fee (which will have to be updated upon review of
the building permit application and will be adjusted in accordance with the latest
Construction Cost Index at the time that the fee is paid), is estimated as follows:
Trip Calculation for 681 Gateway Boulevard
125,000 SF Office/R&D use @ 12.3 trips per 1000 SF = 1538 vehicle trips
Contribution Calculation for Phase 1, 681 Gateway
1538 trips X $154 X (7661.83/6552.16) = $ 276,965

EAST OF 101 TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES
Prior to the issuance of a Building Permit for the proposed project, the applicant shall pay
the East of 101 Traffic Impact fee, as adopted by the City Council at their meeting of
September 26, 2001.
Fee Calculation (as of April 2002)
125,000 gsf Office/R&D @ $1.51 per each square foot = $188,750
4. SEWER SYSTEM CAPACITY STUDY AND IMPROVEMENT FEE
The City of South San Francisco has identified the need to investigate the condition and
capacity of the sewer system within the East of 101 area, downstream of the proposed
Gateway Center development. The existing sewer collection system south of the Gateway
subdivision was originally designed many years ago to accommodate warehouse and
industrial use and is now proposed to accommodate uses, such as offices and biotech
facilities, with a much greater sewage flow. These additional flows, plus groundwater
infiltration into the existing sewers, due to ground settlement and the age of the system, have
resulted in pumping and collection capacity constraints. A study and flow model is proposed
to analyze the problem and recommend solutions and improvements.
The applicant shall financially participate in evaluating the existing components and
projected flow rates of the City of South San Francisco's existing east of 101 sanitary sewer
collection systems, at the direction of the City Engineer. If additional capacity is needed, the
applicant agrees to pay their fair share of the cost of improvements to the down-stream
pumping and gravity sewer collection facilities. The applicant also agrees, that when the
City of South San Francisco develops a sewer collection model which will identify,
prioritize and correct said problems and will determine the location of capacity restrictions
and other structural problems within the collection facilities, the applicant shall pay its fair
share contribution to the cost of the model and any needed infrastructure improvements, in
accordance with a schedule established by the City' s Department of Public Works, pursuant
to a resolution of the South San Francisco City Council. The fee is estimated to be
approximately $1.23 per square foot of new building area, in 2002 dollars. For the proposed
project, if paid this year, the fee is estimated to be: 125,000 gsf times $1.23 = $153,750.
The sewer contribution shall be due and payable prior to receiving a building permit for the
subject building.

Project Narrative
From Original Plan Check Submittal Application (December 2000)
Four-story Office building, with associated sitework.
Project is the second phase of 611/681 Gateway.
The first phase was submitted to the City for Plan Check #1471148.
Occupancy - "B"
Type of Construction -II FR
Project Information
Alexandria Real Estate Equities is in contract with Boston Properties to purchase the 3-acre
land parcel for the 681 Gateway project. Boston Properties had previously submitted plans for
a four-story speculative office building on this site (Plan Check submittal of December 2000).
This was to have been the second phase of their 611/681-office development. Due to the
downturn in the office real estate market, Boston Properties chose not to move forward with
the construction of the office building and instead sell the parcel to Alexandria.
Alexandria wishes to propose a high quality Class-A office/laboratory building on the parcel to
accommodate life science tenants. This application is submitted to the City for approval of the
R&D use within the Gateway Specific Plan District.
The high quality exterior finishes, attractive appearance and integrated landscaping of the
proposed office/laboratory building will be very similar to the original office building submittal,
and will provide a very appealing addition to one of the most important cluster of buildings in
the greater Gateway area. The following is a brief description of the changes necessary to
support an R&D use of the office/laboratory building:
Io Service Yards: Two additional modest service yards will be placed in very non-obtrusive
areas. The service yards will be adequately screened from view with the same high
quality materials used for other projects in this complex, such as the service yard
enclosure currently under construction as part of Boston Properties' new office tower
located on 611 Gateway Boulevard.
2. Floor-to-floor height adjustment: Each floor height will be adjusted slightly to 16'-0"
to accommodate additional mechanical ductwork, a critical building requirement for life
science tenants. The overall building height, 81'-6", has been increased by less than
eight feet from the previous submittal.
3. On-Floor Fan Rooms: Will be added at the ends of each floor to better serve the R&D
use. The fan rooms are an essential element of the office/laboratory design and will
continue the use of the existing louver feature of the office building design to the upper
floors on each side of the office/laboratory building.
4. Roof Screen: The area inside of the roof screen will be increased to accommodate
additional mechanical equipment. The enclosed area will also be increased for additional
equipment.
5. Arcade: The Arcade, or set back, on the ground floor has been relocated from the west
corner of the building to the east to provide a more appealing and dramatic
presentation of the main lobby on the Gateway Boulevard side of the office/laboratory
building.

Waste/Sewer Information
The proposed office/laboratory building will have two separate building waste/sewer systems
(an industrial waste system and a domestic sewer system) combined into one sewer system
outside of the building. The industrial waste system will primarily consist of lab discharge from
sinks, cup sinks, fume hoods, floor drains, autoclaves, glass washers and other similar
equipment. A sampling manhole will be provided outside of the building before the discharge is
combined with the domestic sewer system. This monitoring system will enable the City to
monitor the pH level for compliance with City standards. The domestic sewer system will
consist of discharge from restrooms, breakrooms and other similar areas. A preliminary
estimated peak demand for the building's combined industrial waste/domestic sewer discharge
is 250 GPM.

ADDENDUM
611-681 GATEWAY BLVD. MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
(Certified by the City of South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, July 26, 2000)
REASON FOR PREPARATION OF AN ADDENDUM
The developers of 681 Gateway Boulevard in the Gateway Specific Plan District have
proposed a change in use for the approved building from office to R&D (research and
development). The City of South San Francisco, as lead agency, has determined that an
Addendum to the previously certified Mitigated Negative Declaration should be prepared to
assess the impacts of the revised project on the environment.
The Addendum has been made available to decision-makers to enable them to take action on
the proposed development at 681 Gateway Boulevard.
No Need for a Subsequent Negative Declaration
Some changes and additions to the Certified Negative Declaration are necessary, but none of
the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for a subsequent
Negative Declaration have occurred. On the basis of substantial evidence in the record, no
major changes are proposed which will require major revisions to the previous Negative
Declaration, nor would the modified project result in a substantial increase in the severity of
previously identified significant effects. In fact, the proposed project would result in some
less significant impacts (e.g.,traffic and air quality) than the original project. No new
information has arisen that was not known or could not have been known when the previous
Negative Declaration was prepared. Therefore, no subsequent Negative Declaration is
required for the project, as revised.
PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The originally approved project included an 11-story office tower (250,825 sq. ft.), a 4-level
office building (124,425 sq. ft.), and a 6-level parking garage. At present, the 11-story office
tower and the parking garage are nearing completion. The proposed modification would
modify the use of the 4-story building from office to R&D (research and development). The
building footprint and architecture would remain essentially unchanged, with the exception
of an eight foot increase in the overall height of the building, added service yards, increased
size of the roof equipment enclosure and other similarly minor modifications to
accommodate such a change in use. The number of parking spaces would be reduced by
approximately eight spaces, but the total number would continue to exceed the minimum
requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance.
IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
This section discusses only changes to the impacts defined in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration as a result of modifications to the project description.
Air Quality
MND Impact III a,b-l:
Increase in regional air pollution. The approved project would
contribute to cumulative regional air pollution emissions from
motor vehicles.
Mitigate by implementing a Transportation Demand Management
program to reduce vehicular trips in accordance with the
requirements of the City of South San Francisco and the
City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG).
Addendum Response:
The proposed project would result in an approximately 20%
reduction in trip generation due to the shift from office to R&D, as
indicated in the following table. This change would result in a
beneficial impact to regional air quality over the approved project.

Transportation and Circulation
MND Impact XV.a:
Proiect exceeds 100 vehicular trips. The project would generate
more than 100 peak hour trips, which must be mitigated according
to the Congestion Management Program guidelines of the San
Mateo City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG).
Mitigate by implementing a TDM program which credits trips for
feasible alternative mode shift measures.
MND Impact XV.b:
Traffic added to over-capacity U.S. 101. The project would
contribute traffic to CMP freeway segments that are projected to
exceed standard capacities, causing the segments to operate at LOS
F.
Mitigate through implementation of a Transportation Demand
Management Program to minimize potential increases in freeway
traffic.
MND Impact XV.c:
MND Impact XV.d:
Decline in LOS at 6 intersections. The project would result in the
decline in LOS below "D" at 6 intersections for year 2002 baseline
plus project traffic.
Mitigate through implementation of a Transportation Demand
Management Program, and make physical improvements to
intersections.
Cumulative decline in LOS at 7 intersections. The SEIR project
would result in a decline in LOS below level "D" at seven
intersections for the year 2020 + baseline plus project traffic.
Mitigate through implementation of a Transportation Demand
Management Program, and make physical improvements to
intersections where feasible.
Addendum Response:
The shift from office space to R&D space would reduce vehicular
trips for the proposed project, because R&D industries generate
fewer AM and PM peak hour trips than office space. From a traffic
impact standpoint, the "worst case" scenario is represented by the
approved precise plan which is 100% office space and no R&D
space. As indicated in Table 1, above, the revised project would
result in approximately 20% fewer trips than the approved project.
The reduction in trips generated by the addendum project could
reduce the significance of impacts to the impacted intersections.
013
In September 2001, the City Council adopted an East of 101
Traffic Impact Fee to assess fair share contributions to upgrade the
transportation facilities in the East of 101 area. The revised project
will be required to contribute a fee in accordance with the adopted
resolution.
A formal TDM program is proposed, copy attached, which is
designed to achieve a mode shift of 28%, consistent with the
requirements of the City's recently adopted TDM Ordinance (Sept
2001).
Mitigation measures would not change.
Utilities
The Mitigated Negative Declaration found no significant impacts to water supply based on
the approved project. However, this topic is reevaluated in this section, in response to the
modified use proposed in the project description.
MND Impact XVI.d:
Increased water usage due to R&D development. The revised
project would increase the use of water produced by the San
Francisco Water Department and distributed by the California
Water Services Co. over the approved project. (See calculations of
water demand in Appendix A). However, CWSC determined that
it could meet all future demand in South San Francisco, so the
impact on water supplies is deemed less than significant.
New Mitigation
Addendum Project:
The revised project should incorporate the water conservation
measures set forth in both General Plan and East of 101 Area Plan
policies, pursuant to California Assembly Bill 325, which requires
the use of low flow plumbing fixtures and drought-tolerant
landscaping in all new development.

MND Impact XVI.e:
CWSC has no plans to limit or otherwise restrict water use and
new connections, so the impact of the revised project's additional
demand would not be significant.
Section XVI.b Potential capacity shortfalls in existing~ off-site
wastewater collection facilities - The City of South San
Francisco has identified the need to investigate the condition and
capacity of the sewer system within the East of 101 area,
downstream of the proposed Gateway Center development. The
existing sewer collection system south of the Gateway subdivision
was originally designed many years ago to accommodate
warehouse and industrial use and is now proposed to accommodate
uses, such as offices and biotech facilities, with a much greater
sewage flow. These additional flows, plus groundwater infiltration
into the existing sewers, due to ground settlement and the age of
the system, have resulted in pumping and collection capacity
constraints. A study and flow model is proposed to analyze the
problem and recommend solutions and improvements.
New Mitigation
Addendum Project:
The applicant shall financially participate in evaluating the existing
components and projected flow rates of the City of South San
Francisco's existing east of 101 sanitary sewer collection systems,
at the direction of the City Engineer. If additional capacity is
needed, the applicant shall pay their fair share of the cost of
improvements to the down-stream pumping and gravity sewer
collection facilities. Additionally, when the City of South San
Francisco develops a sewer collection model which will identify,
prioritize and correct said problems and will determine the location
of capacity restrictions and other structural problems within the
collection facilities, the applicant shall pay its fair share
contribution to the cost of the model and any needed infrastructure
improvements, in accordance with a schedule established by the
City's Department of Public Works, pursuant to a resolution of the
South San Francisco City Council. The fee is estimated to be
approximately $1.23 per square foot of new building area, in 2002
dollars. For the proposed project, if paid this year, the fee is
estimated to be: 124,425 gsf times $1.23 = $153,042.00

APPENDIX A: WATER SUPPLY
This appendix relates to addendum impact topic "XVI. Utilities and Service Systems",
addressing use of limited water supplies. The revised proposal would replace 124,425 square
feet of office space with the same amount of R&D space. This modification would be expected
to change the project's future water use, as shown in the calculations presented below.
For biotech, and also for R&D, demand rates have been estimated in accordance with recent water
use studies performed by Ray Honan, the City of South San Francisco's Environmental
Compliance Coordinator. In these studies, Mr. Honan documented water use at one of the R&D
buildings and at one of the manufacturing buildings on the Genentech campus. The records
showed the R&D building used an average of 250 gallons per day (gpd) per 1000 square feet (s.f.),
while the manufacturing building used almost 1300 gpd/1000 s.f.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing is not a permitted use at the project site, but prototype development
is, so a future tenant could use significantly more water than the typical R&D facility. To account
for this possibility and to provide a reasonably conservative estimate of future water use, it is
assumed that approximately 80 percent of the biotech use will be strictly R&D and the remainder
will be "prototype" development. This yields an average water demand rate of 450 gpd/1000 s.f.,
which is used to estimate the proposed project's water use.
Water Demand - Office Proiect
Offices: 124,425 s.f. @ 300 s.f./employee = 415 employees
415 employees @ 20 gpd/employee
8,300 gpd
Water Demand - Proposed Revised R&D Proiect
Biotech/R&D: 124,425 s.f. @ 450 gpd/1000 s.f. (revised rate)
= 55,991 gpd
016
APPENDIX B: WASTEWATER
The calculations below illustrate the effect of the proposed change in use on the project's
estimated wastewater generation.
The wastewater generation rate for biotech and R&D uses has been revised in accordance with
the findings of a recent water use study by the City of South San Francisco. As described in
Appendix A, the study found that water use ranged from 250 gpd/1000 s.f. for R&D to 1300
gpd/1000 s.f. for pharmaceutical manufacturing. For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed
that 80 percent of the biotech space will be used for R&D and 20 percent for prototype
development, a permitted use that could potentially have a water demand that approaches the
manufacturing rate. This yields a composite water demand of 450-gpd/1000 s.f. Wastewater
generation rates will be estimated at 90 percent of water demand, or approximately 400-
gpd/1000 s.f.
As noted in Appendix A, the projected biotech/R&D wastewater generation rate may be
somewhat conservative, resulting in flow rates that are higher than actually occur on a developed
site. However, this value provides a reasonable factor of safety that should adequately allow for
future businesses that use more water and generate higher wastewater flows than the typical
biotech or R&D operation.
Wastewater Generation - Office Project
Flow rate computations are based on the following, generally accepted rates of wastewater
production:
Offices: 124,425 s.f. @ 300 s.f./employee = 415 employees
415 employees @ 15 gpd/employee
6,225 gpd
Wastewater Generation Rate - Proposed Revised R&D Project
Biotech/R&D: 124,425 s.f. @ 400 gpd/1000 s.f. (revised rate)
= 49,770 gpd
The comparison being made for this analysis shows that the proposed land use changes in would
be expected to result in higher wastewater flows than under the previously approved Mitigated
Negative Declaration land use plan.

681 Gateway Boulevard Project
Transportation Demand Management Program
-An overview-
a. Alexandria Real Estate Equities ("Alexandria") is committed to being a good
neighbor in the community and understands the importance of minimizing
environmental impacts in the South San Francisco Cabot, Cabot, and Forbes
Industrial Park. Alexandria realizes that informing tenants of the alternative
methods of commuting available will lead to reductions in congestion and
pollution and have a positive contribution to the community. Alexandria desires to
attract and retain excellent tenants, offer an attractive worksite, as well as a
creative, productive, and comfortable environment for its employees. Alexandria
is committed to encourage and assist tenants to develop and utilize an extensive
and innovative, Transportation Demand Management Program.
b. Alexandria shall require all tenants to designate at least one employee as a
TDM "point of contact" representative within their respective company.
Alexandria shall coordinate the training of such personnel. Alexandria will also
designate an Alexandria representative to serve as a resource to each tenant-
appointed TDM personnel. Such representative will be available via telephone or
email to assist with commute questions, concerns, or transit service problems.
This employee will prepare historical surveyed commute records for annual
submission of a TDM Report to the City of South San Francisco Planning
Department. All new tenants and their employees shall be required to participate
in a "new employee orientation program". Most importantly, this program will
explain the importance of trip reduction methods and their benefits to the
community.' The program orientation will also address the TDM mission
statement, alternative commute options, provide transit schedules, maps, and
offer free ride matching services. All new employees shall complete a commuter
survey indicating the modes of commuting available, and what their expected
mode would be.
c. Alexandria will promote the use of the existing Gateway Shuttle Bus System,
and the use of public transit modes of travel. These commuter shuffles operate
during peak commute hours to the South San Francisco CalTrain Station, and to
the San Francisco Glen Park Bart Station. Appropriate areas shall be designated
for passenger loading, as well as adequate sheltered waiting areas, such as the
building lobby.
d. Alexandria will advocate to its tenants the use of the Alliance "Emergency Ride
Home" program. This allows employees who utilize alternative forms of
commuting a free ride home for emergencies up to four times per year via
taxicabs or rental cars. Alexandria will assist tenants in procuring grant monies
available for such programs.
019
e. Alexandria will encourage its tenants to sponsor taxi vouchers for the
transportation of employees for medical appointments, during regular business
hours. A typical program would apply to round trip transportation, (20 miles each
way), up to two times per year. This is an incentive to not bring a vehicle to work
(or to use one).
f. Per the Commuter Check Program, pre tax payroll deductions will allow up to
$100.00 per month for public transit passes, and the expense for participating in
vanpools. In addition, Alexandria will encourage its tenants to subsidize and
match each additional dollar for this program up to $50.00 per month, per
participant.
g. Vanpools will be provided by tenants, as an attractive method of commuting.
Vanpools will be established, subject to economic feasibility and employee
participation. Alexandria will reimburse the primary and secondary drivers for
required medical exams. Dedicated "preferential parking" areas will be provided
in highly visible and signed, areas. Passenger loading areas shall be designated.
h. Bicycling will be a viable commute option. Alexandria will require its tenants to
include shower facilities within their buildings to help promote cycling as an
alternate commute option. Alexandria will designate specific common area
locations within the project for bicycle lockers or racks. Alexandria will also
petition existing shuttle operators to include equipment on transit shuttles to
accommodate bicycles. Common bicycle and transit commute routes will be
shared and published.
i. Alexandria will designate secure areas for motorcycles. These signed areas will
be equipped with methods of impact protection from moving vehicular traffic.
j. Alexandria will supply tenants with information to assist them in developing a
formal telecommuting program to be available for selected employees;
dependent upon position and specific work requirements. This information will
include "how to" instructions, including sample contracts between management
and employees, feedback mechanisms, with ergonomics, insurance and worker's
compensation issues.
k. Taxicab vouchers will be made available by tenants for local business
transportation, including travel to and from the S.F.O. International Airport. Visitor
promotional materials will be available to promote the use of public transit to /
from SFO Airport. Tenants will be encouraged to subsidize one-way taxi rides as
incentives. Taxi loading zones will be designated.
I. The S.S.F. Downtown Dasher program will be promoted for mid day travel to
the downtown area.
m. Tenants will be required to provide visitors and job applicants with the local
public transportation options, shuttle schedules, and transit maps for the area, to
encourage the use of public transit.
020
n. Alexandria will expedite through the tenant TDM "point of contact" personnel,
employee surveys to determine current modes of commuting. The surveys will be
conducted via e-mail, or other acceptable methods of communication.
Non-responses to commute surveys are to be counted as "drive alone".
o. Tenants will be encouraged to participate in the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District's "Spare the Air" program during unhealthy weather
conditions. Participants will be requested to not drive to work alone, and seek
other methods of commuting. Enrollment will be via the BAAQMD Web page, and
a "Spare the Air Day' notification will be sent via e-mail, as soon as it is
forecasted. Participation in other local ride share promotions throughout the year,
will also be encouraged.
p. Alexandria will make an annual financial contribution to RIDES For Bay Area
Commuters, "Ride Your Bike to Work Week", promotion, to help promote bicycle
commuting.
q. Chartering of busses for group activities and off site meetings will be
encouraged. Services provided by tenants will include booking, group discounts,
invoicing, and special services, as needed.
r. At the time that commuter Bay Ferry Services are available, Alexandria will
investigate including commuter transportation links to the proposed Oyster Point
Ferry Terminal.

Transportation Demand Management Program
for
Alexandria Real Estate Equities
681 Gateway Boulevard Project
South San Francisco, California
Alexandria is committed to developing an environmentally conscious project
complete with an effective Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program.
Alexandria will encourage its tenants to consider the program as part of a
comprehensive benefit package designed to attract and retain quality employees.
Alexandria will educate tenants about commuting alternatives in efforts to foster
increased community awareness.
The proposed full project build out population based on laboratory and office
R&D use, is approximately 310 employees, in one building, for a total project of
125,000 square feet. (2.5 employees per 1,000 square feet). A surface parking
lot with 357 spaces is also part of this development.
Projected individual element goals are based on the level of employee
participation (28%, or 88 employees) utilizing available commute alternatives. It
is anticipated that the level of employee participation will increase over time, due
to the expanded TDM program efforts and incentives offered to employees.
This enhanced TDM Program identifies the methods that will meet, and exceed
the requirement of 28 %commute trip reduction.
This project is intended to be developed in one construction phase, with 125,000
square feet, occupied during 2004.
A. PROGRAM ELEMENTS:
1. New employees shall be required to participate in a new employee orientation
program. This program will explain the TDM Mission Statement, explain
alternative commute options, and provide transit schedules, maps, and offer free
ride matching services to encourage the formation of carpools. All new
employees will complete an "Initial Commuter Survey". The survey will ask new
employees to select their expected mode(s) of transportation from a list of
commuting options available to the project. This method has been proven to be a
very effective means to promote alternative commute patterns, before new
employees commuting habits are established. Passenger drop off and loading
areas shall be designated. Carpools shall have a minimum of ten percent of the
preferential parking areas in the garages.
Carpools:
Program goal: 28
Total element goal: 28
2. The program will effectively promote the use of the existing Gateway Shuttle
Bus System, and the use of mixed public transit modes. Commuter shuttles
operate during peak commute hours to the South San Francisco CalTrain
Station, and to the San Francisco Glen Park Bart Station. The shuttle provider
has confirmed that capacity and willingness to accommodate additional users
should not be a problem. Employer operated shuttles connecting to public transit
have been identified as the most effective marketing method of attracting
passengers to public transit systems. (Source: SamTrans and CalTrain 20 year
marketing plans). Shuttle shelters will be included, as appropriate.
Shuttles:
Program goal: 31
Total element goal: 31
(Additional daytime trips are also saved utilizing available alternative
transportation modes, for lunches, errands, and medical appointments, although
not part of these figures).
3. The program will advocate to its tenants the use of the Peninsula Congestion
Relief Alliance's "Emergency Ride Home" program. This allows employees who
utilize alternative forms of commuting a free ride home for emergencies up to
four times per year via taxicabs or rental cars. (50% grant matching funds are
available to the employers that participate in this program). These types of
programs have been identified as the number one incentive for employees to
rideshare. Employers have seen increases of 15-20% in ridesharing when this
type of program is offered to employees (Source: RIDES 1999 Commute
Survey). This program will promote an increased use of alternative transit,
however some employees will already be using these modes. It is a deciding
factor in not driving alone, and a valuable method to deal with the unknown
urgent need for an employee to quickly get home for emergencies.

5.Per the Commuter Check Program, pre tax payroll deductions will allow the
employee up to $100.00 per month for public transit passes, and the expense for
participating in vanpools. In addition, Alexandria will encourage its tenants to
subsidize and match this program up to $ 50.00 per month, per participant.
Transit pass subsidies of as little as $15.00 per month has shown a significant
increase in monthly commute pass sales in other areas of the state. (Source: The
Hoyt Company).

Total element goal: 5% Indirect program benefit
6. Vanpools will be provided by tenants, as an attractive method of commuting.
Vanpools will be established, and subsidized, subject to economic feasibility and
employee participation. Alexandria will reimburse the primary and secondary
drivers for required medical exams. Advertising methods such as "wrapping" the
vanpools may subsidize some of the operating expenses. Dedicated "preferential
parking" areas will be provided in highly visible areas. Subsidies for vanpools by
employers, is the most desired factor in deciding to vanpool (Source: RIDES
2000 Commute Profile).
Vanpools:
Program goal: 18
Total element goal: 18
7. Bicycling will be promoted as a viable commute option. Bicycle lockers,
storage areas, racks, and showers, will be available. The local Bayside Trail
provides important trail links to other areas. Common bicycle and transit
commute routes of the employees in the area will be shared and published.
Bicycles:
Program goal: 6
Total element goal: 6
8. Motorcycles will be accommodated in secure, signed designated areas, with
methods of impact protection from automobile traffic. Motorcycles pollute less,
may use carpool lanes, and cross toll bridges during commute hours for free.
Motorcycles:
Program goal: 2
Total element goal: 2
9.Telecommuting reduces both traffic and the need for employee parking
facilities. Alexandria will supply tenants with information to assist them in
developing a formal telecommuting program with "how- to" instructions, including
contracts between management and the employees, feedback mechanisms,
ergonomics, insurance and worker's compensation issues. The information will
also include suggestions for possible methods to track telecommuting days.
Telecommuting:
Program goal: 3
Total element goal: 3
10. The use of taxicab vouchers will be encouraged for local business
transportation, including travel to and from the S.F.O. International Airport.
Indirect commute impact.
11. The S.S.F. Downtown Dasher program will be promoted for midday travel to
the downtown area. Alexandria will encourage its tenants to pay for round trip
program vouchers. Indirect commute impact.
12. Tenants will be required to provide visitors and job applicants with public
transportation options, shuttle schedules, and transit maps for the area, to
promote the use of public transit. Indirect beneficial impact to program.
13. Employee surveys shall be conducted to determine current modes of
commuting. The surveys will be conducted via e-mail. Non-responses to
commute surveys are to be counted as "drive alone". Indirect benefit to program.
14. An employee contact person will be available to answer commute questions,
concerns, or transit problems. This employee will be available via telephone or e-
mail. This employee will prepare historical surveyed commute records, for annual
submission of a TDM Report to the City of South San Francisco Planning
Department. This person will work in conjunction with the Peninsula Congestion
Relief Alliance to assist in the promotion of ridesharing programs, and events.
Indirect benefit to program.
15. Employees will be encouraged to participate in the Bay Area Air Quality
District's "Spare the Air" program during unhealthy weather conditions.
Participants will be requested to not drive to work alone, and seek other methods
of commuting. Enrollment will be via the BAAQMD Web page, and "Spare the Air
Day' notification will be sent via e-mail, as soon as it is forecasted. Indirect
benefit to program.

D. CONCLUSION:
An employee participation level of 28% indicates that with a projected population
of 310 employees, the potential of 88 employees could actively participate in
alternative modes of commuting. TDM Program offerings could reasonably
eliminate 88' daily round commute trips at this project location.
In addition, alternative mid day transportation options are to be made available to
reduce the need for a vehicle. (These methods are very effective in reducing
congestion, parking demands, and reducing "cold start" pollution sources,
although not used in the calculated daily trip reduction figures). On site amenities
will further reduce the need for mid day travel, and parking demand. Attractive
options to driving alone will be supported, and with the available choices of
transit options, employer subsidies, and marketing, this program can be an
effective tool to encourage commuters to forgo drive alone situations.
The new TDM Plan identifies the need of a total of 88 daily commute trip
reductions, at full project completion and activation. Employee and tenant
surveys will provide sufficient feedback on the success and effectiveness of this
program.
Management supports, and understands the importance of an effective TDM
Program, as part of a proven, progressive business environment.

Britannia Oyster Point Signage - Precise Plan to approve a master sign program
for a 22.2 acre mixed use development at 1100-1190 Veterans Blvd. (Planning
Areas 2 & 3), in the Bay West Cove Specific Plan Zone District.
Applicant: Slough Estates
Case No.: P-02-0032
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency open the public hearing, take
testimony, close the public hearing and approve Precise Plan P-02-0032 based on the
attached findings and subject to the attached conditions of approval.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In December 2000, the Redevelopment Agency approved a Specific Plan for the Bay West Cove
Project. A condition of approval on that permit required the applicants to secure approval for a
master sign program for the development. Accordingly, Slough Estates has submitted the
attached sign program for Agency consideration. It is noted that Slough has had several meetings
with Hines, the other major property owner in the specific plan area, to ensure that the signage
proposed by Slough for its portion of the site will not conflict with, and will be coordinated to the
best extent with, the sign needs and desires of the Hines portion of the site.
This sign program addresses a variety of sign types within the site, including a primary project
entry sign at the comer of Oyster Point and Veterans Boulevard, secondary entry signs at
driveways along Veterans Boulevard, tenant wall signs and directional signs. While these signs
vary in terms of size and shapes, the signs complement one another, as well as the buildings
within the project, in terms of materials, colors, illumination, and lettering types.
Staff Report
To: Redevelopment Agency Members
RE: Britannia Oyster Point Signage, P-02-0032
Date: May 22, 2002
Page 2 of 3
Primary Project Entry Sign - One 50 foot wide by 8 foot high monument sign is proposed on
the easterly side of the Oyster Point Boulevard/Veterans Boulevard intersection, consisting
of a higher (8 ft.) convex back wall and a lower (4 ft.) concave forewall. The backwall is
composed of gray-colored concrete with a signature sphere element attached to one end.
The forewall includes a polished granite veneer with aluminum reverse channel lettering,
back lit with white neon.
Secondary Entry Signs - Two non-illuminated monument signs are proposed at the two
driveways into the site along the easterly side of Veterans Boulevard. Each sign is 18 feet
wide by 3.5 feet high, finished with a polished granite veneer with stainless steel channel
lettering.
Wall Signs - The program includes parameters for wall signs on all of the office/R&D
buildings, consisting of 30" high, reverse channel, painted aluminum letters, halo lit with
white neon. Proposed locations are indicated on the elevations for each building.
Directional Signs - Directional signage located within the project site is also presented,
consisting of non-illuminated, 3' high by 2' wide monument signs constructed of metal
panels (to match the buildings) with applied vinyl lettering.
Design Review Comments
The Design Review Board was very pleased with the proposal and had no comments.
Zoning/General Plan Consistency
As required by the provisions of the Bay West Cove Specific Plan (SSFMC Section 20.61.060),
the attached master sign program identifies the maximum type, size, number and locations of
signs to be allowed. The General Plan, and specifically the Design Policies of the East of 101
Area Plan (DE-45 thru DE-51), supports this type of sign program in which signs are designed as
an integral component of the overall site architecture, and which provides a unified concept
throughout.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed sign program is well-designed, providing a clear hierarchy of signs (ie. project
identity, project entry, building/tenant identification and directional) with a balance of sizes and

shapes to maintain interest, and a similarity of materials, colors, and illumination to provide
unity. Consequently, staff recommends that the Redevelopment Agency approve Precise Plan
P-02-0032 based on the attached findings and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
Attached are documents related to the case.

PROPOSED FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
P-02-0032
(As recommended to the Redevelopment Agency on May 22, 2002)
As required by the Bay West Cove Specific Plan Administration and Implementation Procedures
(SSFMC Chapter 20.61.085), the following findings are made in support of a Precise Plan to
approve a master sign program for a 22.2-acre mixed use development at 1100 - 1190 Veterans

Zone District and does not conflict with any provisions of the Owner Participation
Agreement between the City and Slough Estates. As required by the provisions of the Bay
West Cove Specific Plan (SSFMC Section 20.61.060), the attached master sign program
identifies the maximum type, size, number and locations of signs to be allowed
The Design Review Board considered the project at its April 16, 2002 meeting and found the
sign program to be consistent with the City's Design Review Guidelines.

PARTNERSHIP TO SUPPORT THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AND THE PARTNERSHIP'S
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM AND AMENDING THE
LIBRARY DEPARTMENT'S 2001/2002 OPERATING BUDGET.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the acceptance of
grant funds in the amount of $41,940.33 from the Peninsula Partnership, and amending the
2001/02 Operating Budget for the Library.
BACKGROUND
The San Mateo County Children and Families First Commission has awarded the South San Francisco
Community Partnership and the eight additional Peninsula Partnership sites $41,360 each to fund a
second year of Transitional Kindergarten programs. This funding will substantially support our work
towards meeting one of our primary goals of Kindergarten Readiness. An additional $580.33 from the
Peninsula Partnership for Children, Youth and Families will support general Partnership activities.
The SSFCP, through its partnership with the South San Francisco Unified School District, will conduct
quality Transitional Kindergarten/Kindergarten Readiness classes at the Partnership's targeted schools.
Targeted schools are Hillside, Los Cerritos, Martin, Spruce and Sunshine Gardens elementary schools.
The Summer 2001 program was a great success, with 118 students attending classes at these schools. In
addition, the School District funded classes for an additional 54 students at Ponderosa and Monte Verde
elementary schools.
This summer's program will:
· Serve a minimum of 100 children.
Give preference to children who have not had a quality, pre-school experience and/or are
English Language Learners.
· Include a teacher and an instructional aide in each classroom.
· Assure that teachers in each of the classrooms will have early childhood education
experience.

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council, by motion, accept Chestnut/Grand Intersection
Improvements Project as complete in accordance with the plans and specifications.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
This project provided a new right turn lane from northbound Chestnut Avenue onto Grand Avenue
and improved traffic flow at the intersection by installing new signals at the intersection.
The project has been inspected by City staff and is completed in accordance with the plans and
specifications. Acceptance of the project will provide authorization for staff to file a Notice of
Completion and to release the payment performance bond and ten percent retention at the end of the
thirty-day lien period.
The acceptance of this project by City Council was delayed from last spring due to the Contractor
requesting additional compensation and the possibility of filing for arbitration. After Engineering
consulted with the City Attorney and then having discussions with the Contractor, the Contractor
decided not to file for arbitration and accept final payment from the City so that the project could be
closed.
FUNDING:
The construction was completed at a cost of $201,758.68 ($181,859.58 bid items and $19,899.10 for
one change order). The change order covered costs for new concrete, curb and gutter along the east
side of Chestnut Avenue between Grand Avenue and Miller Avenue. Construction costs are under

Agreement to Extend the City's Participation in the San Mateo County HOME
Consortium
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to:
1. Approve an agreement to extend the City's participation in the San Mateo County HOME
Consortium to apply for funds available through the HOME Investment Partnership Act
2. Authorize the City Manger to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND:
The Home Investment Partnership Act authorized by Congress in 1990 under the National
Affordable Housing Act provides a source of federal financing for a variety of affordable housing
projects. Metropolitan cities, urban counties, and consortia whose formula allocation is greater than
or equal to $500,000 are eligible to receive HOME funds. To receive HOME funds, the City of
South San Francisco, San Mateo County, and other cities on the Peninsula formed a consortium in
1991. HOME funds received by the San Mateo County HOME Consortium are distributed annually
on a competitive basis.
Over the past five years the City of South San Francisco has received $1,350,000 in HOME funds
from the San Mateo County HOME consortium. The City has used these funds for a variety of
housing projects including the purchase and rehabilitation of two building on Commercial Avenue
and the purchase of three four-plex buildings in Willow Gardens. For 2002-2003 the HOME
Project Review Committee has recommended to the Board of Supervisors that the City receive a
$400,000 HOME allocation.
The current San Mateo County HOME Consortium agreement expires on June 30, 2003.
Consortium members must adopt and submit a new agreement to the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) by June 30, 2002 to extend the Consortium agreement. The new
agreement will be for federal fiscal years 2003, 2004, and 2005. Consortium members for 2003-
2005 will include the City of South San Francisco and the County of San Mateo. The agreement
will remain in effect unit the HOME funds from each of the federal fiscal years are closed out
pursuant to Federal regulation 24 CFR 92.507.
