ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
GELLERT BOULEVARD EXTENSION
Review of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Gellert Boulevard
Extension pro~;ect.
Secretary Costanzo noted that staff had reviewed the comments received from
URS Research Company and that they comply with the California Environmental
Quality Act of 1970 and recommended that the final notice of determination be
recorded.
Commissioner Mathewson asked for some comments on the zoning of this area,
as his map showed this area zoned C-l. Secretary Costanzo noted that this
was a technical flaw, and noted that this area was zoned C-l (Agricultural),
but was in fact C-l (Commercial) within the City of South San Francisco.
Secretary Costanzo further explained that this would be zoned "U" which is an
illegal zone and means it would be inconsistent with the General Plan. He
noted that this area should be prezoned so that when it is annexed to the
City of South San Francisco it would automatically become C-l. He further
noted that if it is not prezoned before annexation, it would come in under
the "U" Zone.
Secretary Costanzo noted that any omissions in the EIR document are totally
minor, such as a misplaced period.
Commissioner Mathewson requested to know if there had been any agreementwith
the developer as far as a PUD is concerned. Secretary Costanzo noted that it
is a regional, rather than a neighborhood shopping center, and that the
Commission has the right to bring the matter before them, instead of it being
handled ministerially. He noted that any request to develop this area will
be brought to the Commission.
Commissioner Goldberg moved that the Environmental Impact Report for Gellert
Boulevard Extension is consistent with the California Environmental Quality
Act of 1970 and the City of South San Francisco1s EIR requirements. Commis-
sioner Bertucelli seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously.
DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES UPGRADING
Review of the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Wastewater Facilities
Upgrading, South San Francisco Treatment Plant. Review for public comment.
Secretary Costanzo presented the staff report, noting staff's recommendations
for changes to the Environmental Impact Report.
Acting City Manager Addiego gave a brief history of the EIR. He noted that
planning commenced with a study for San Mateo County looking at treatment
plants which resulted in a north central and south bayside unit. He noted
that the City is dealing with the North Bayside Unit. He further noted that
the City, as lead agency, has applied for grant funds for two projects--sludge
management program and the upgrading of the treatment plant facilities, in
which there is a portion relating to dechlorination. He noted that there are
three steps to go through--planning, design of the project, and construction.

EIR/Wastewater~ contid
December 14, 1976
Mr. Michael Joyce, representing Jenks and Harrison, noted that the project
has two major parts. The subregional part in dechlorination facilities
must be constructed to meet State guidelines for zero Chlorination.
Several commissioners stated that they had read the EIR, but did not under-
stand it and would like a more simple form. Acting City Manager noted that
it is a very technical document and that the position of staff is to inter-
pret that technical data for the Commission. He noted that staff has re-
viewe{jcbthe document in detail and that there are three alternatives.
1. That each City build their own dechlorination facilities.
2. Combine dechlorination at our Treatment Plant.
3. The best alternative is the facilities at the wateris edge.
He noted that he would like the Commission to address themselves to the envir-
onmental effects.
Commissioner Bertucelli asked if there would be two plants for dechlorination.
Acting City Manager Addiego noted that there would only be one plant at Point
San Bruno and that all cities would share in that facility.
Mr. Patrick Ritter, representing Earth ~1etrJj;.cs, Inc., authors of the Environ-
mental Impact Report, made several comments relating to staff1s recommended
changes to the EIR. He noted that the glossary would be helpful and that
this will be included in the final EIR. He noted that the summary of the
impacts appears in the early part of the document. He further noted that
most impacts relating to construction on landfill are minor. He noted that
during construction, there will only be slight increases in traffic~ air
quality pollutants, and noise. He noted that water quality and biology in
the Bay are major impacts relating to oxygen levels or depletion of same.
He noted that the location maps on a smaller scale would be included in the
final EIR.
Commissioner Bertucelli requested to know how far out the outfill line is,
and if this was paid by all the cities. Acting Director of Public Services
Yee noted that the line was about one mile out and that all cities contributed
to it financially.
Commissioner Goldberg asked if 87~ percent of the funding would be paid by
federal funds. Mr. Addiego noted that this is the maximum that can be received
at this point. He gave a breakdown of how much financial responsibility
City would have.
Commissioner Mullin asked if the type of treatment plant was mandated since
there is federal participation. Acting City Manager Addiego noted that it
was mandated and that it is a secondary facility.
Chairman Slade requested to know if we were abandoning the outfill in this
particular upgrading. Acting City Manager Addiego noted that in 1974 a water
quality management plan was prepared and adopted by all involved agencies.
In this plan, many alternatives were addressed. The City has proceeded with
the most economical and the most practical by combining South San Francisco
and San Bruno. He noted that he does not see a line out in the ocean as the
problems are not that severe.

EIR/Wastewater~ cont'd
December 14, 1976
Commissioner Mathewson requested to know how deficient South San Francisco
is in water pollution. Acting City Manager Addiego noted that South San
Francisco.s Treatment Plant is one of the best in the Bay Area. Mr. Jerry
Anders, representing the State Water Resources Board noted that the Regional
Board is concerned that thicngis are behi nd times and they woul d 1 i ke to see
the project completed as soon as possible.
There was some discussion on the possibility of the Environmental Impact Report
requirement being eliminated in 1977. Mr. Anders noted that an EIR impact
statement will not be required, but the Environmental Impact Report will be
required as far as he knows and that he has not heard otherwise.
Chairman Slade asked how long it would take to prepare the final document.
Mr. Ritter of Earth Metrics noted that if there are only the two comments
and the glossary, it would be a matter of a few days, possibly within one
week.
Secretary Costanzo noted that copies of the Environmental Impact Report have
been available to the general public since November 14, 1976, and that the
glossary is the only important change. He further noted that it will be
brought back to the Commission at the first meeting in January.
Commissioner Bertucelli moved that the Draft Environmental Impact Report
for the Wastewater Treatment Facilities Upgrading be accepted in accordance
with the staff1s recommendations. Commissioner Goldberg seconded the motion
and it was passed unanimously.
UP-76-355
UP-76-355, a request of Franchise Realty Interstate Corporation for a Use
Permit to construct a dining room addition into an existing restaurant at
435 El Camino Real.
Secretary Costanzo noted that the applicant has been unable to resolve some
of the problems that exist and that they would like to have this matter
tabled until a future date. He noted that staff agrees that this matter
should be tabled.
The Commission unanimously agreed to table this matter.
UP-76-36l
UP-76-361, a request of Whisler-Patri for a Use Permit to construct 42 single
family residential units on property located on the northeast corner of the
intersection of Callan and Greendale Drive and on Palos Verdes Way.

Mr Patri gave an outline of the design of the project, noting the rear yard
treatment and the landscapeing and the exterior and interior treatment. ~1rO"
Millen noted that on X-l and X-3 units on Palos Verdes, these have a flat
roof section and that their intent was to minimize the flat appearance.
Opponent:
Mr. Quick explained the existence of a pathway and noted the maximization of
the lawn areas on flat places and noted the use of erosion controls. He
noted that the fencing will be a continuation of theiexisting rear yard fencing
system from other common green areas. He further noted that they intend to
provide the front entrance areas with aesthetically pleasing landscaping.
Mr. Frank Lehane noted his objection to the project, saying there was just
too much dust during construction. Secretary Costanzo noted that there should
be a condition imposed on the applicant regarding dust control methods. He
further noted that a hydrology report will have to be provided. Vice-Chairman
Teglia pointed out that the City Engineer had already imposed a condition on
the applicant stating that there shall be dust control measures taken for
seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
Commissioner Mathewson questioned Special Condition #9, stating that all
garages shall be set back a depth of 22 feet. Secretary Costanzo noted that
it should read that all garages be set back a depth of 22 feet IIfrom the
inside edge of the sidewalkll and that these'words should be added.
Commissioner ~1ullin requested to know if they would be using ice plants
duringlands.e:aping. Mr. Quick noted that they would be using African daisies
and 2J,j;n i as.
Commissioner Goldberg asked for clarification of Special Condition #9 regard-
ing the type of garage doors that would be used. Secretary Costanzo noted
that Mr. Tronoff measures to the property line which adds at least four feet
to the garage door distance from the inside edge of the sidewalk. Mr. Millen
noted that they would be roll type doors.

UP-76-361, cont'd
December 14, 1976
Chairman Slade asked the applicant if he fully understood and agreed to these
special conditions and standard conditions and noted that he was concerned
with smoke detectors. Mr. Sette said he understood and agreed to all conditions
and further noted that he always puts in smoke detectors.
Chairman Slade asked Mr. Sette about C.C.& R. 's for this area. Mr. Sette
noted that they would have to be developed and that this would be done by
his attorney. He further noted that he believes these C.C. & R. 's will be
brought to the Commission. Secretary Costanzo noted that this would be part
of the Subdivision Map.
There was some discussion on a positive drainage system. Mr. Sette felt
there had been a problem with drainage in the past and, if the City would
inspect this, they would put in the necessary drainage system. Secretary
Costanzo noted that instead of waiting to see if the problem is going to
exist, measures should be taken to provide proper drainage before it becomes
a problem.
Vice-Chairman Teiq~a asked Mr. Sette if he had hired people to do a hydrolic
report. Mr. Sette noted that there was one done in 1974, a copy of which was
presented to the Commission, but that it might have to be updated. He noted
that William G. Dunn, author of the report, was working for gnyder and that
at that time he gave copies of this report to the Commission. Commissioner
Goldberg noted that this report would have to be updated because of the comple-
tion of the church and parking area which have added to drainage problems and
that he would like to see such a condition. Mr. Sette noted that this would
be done to meet the conditions of the building division.
Commissioner Mullin moved that UP-76-36l be approved subject to all of the
conditions of the staff report, including the above changes. Vide-Chairman
Teglia seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously.
UP-76-364
UP-76-364, a request of Bud Fratessa (Stewart Title) for a Use Permit to con-
struct 52 residential units in 12 buildings on vacant property located on the
west side of Stonegate Drive, approximately 1000 feet south of Hillside Blvd.
Secretary Costanzo presented the staff report, illustrating the parcel map,
the modification map and the use permit map, showing the location of the units.

this in other developments as well, where the owner was responsible for seeing
that the trash cans were taken to the street level and taken back that night.
He noted that it has worked very well in other places. Acting City Manager
Addiego noted that staff, the architect, and the scavenger company should get
together to resolve some of these problems.
Commissioner Mathewson asked about C.C.& R. IS and a homeowners' association.
Mr. Seyranian noted that there would be C.C.& R. 's and that a homeowners' asso-
ciation would be formed which would be their own. Chairman Slade asked why
the existing homeownersl association could not be brought in as part of this
development. Mr. Seyranian noted that this could be done and he feels that
the developer will be willing to do so.
Vice-Chairman Teglia moved that UP-76-364 be approved subject to all of the
conditions of the staff report Commissioner Goldberg seconded the motion
and it was passed unanimously.
PM-76-138
Secretary Costanzo noted that this agenda item should be heard in conjunction
with UP-76-364 because of their close relationship.
PM-76-138, a request of Stonegate Ridge Properties and E. G. Coopman for a
Parcel Map to create four lots in the Stonegate Ridge Planned Community area
corresponding with the phase lines of the Stonegate Ridge Planned Community
Zone District.
Secretary Costanzo presented the staff report and read into the record the
Special Conditions.
Mr. Frank Aitken, engineer, noted that he has no comments on the parcel map
and that they will comply with all recommendations of the staff report.
Commissioner Mathewson requested clarification on the purpose of the parcel
map~ Secretary Costanzo noted that it is a straightening out of property
lines; that the parcel lines are necessary to oonform to the P.U.D. for Phase
3 and Phase 8 and that we are mapping it to comply with Phase 3 and Phase 8
at this point in time.
There was discussion on the Fire Marshal IS conditions, whether they related
to Phase 3 or Phase 8 or both. Fire Marshal Maguire noted that his intent
is to require the access road for Phase 3, not for Phase 8. Chairman Slade
noted that condition #1 should be deleted from this parcel map application.
Secretary Costanzo noted that this would be made a part of the Stonegate Ridge
Phase 3.
City Engineer Yee stated that he signs the final map and in order to do this,
the applicant would have to comply with all the conditions, and under the Fire
Marshal's conditions, namely that a fire hydrant should be installed prior to
the recordation of the parcel map, which means that he cannot sign it off. Fire
Marshal Maguire said that he intended that when the driveways are extended out
to Stonegate, that they should be extended so that there are hydrants at the

Mr. Seyranian noted/that parking will be enclosed and there will be shielded
guest parking' He also noted that there would be tot yards and equipment
provided. He further noted that he had met with Mr. Commons and that the
meeting was very successful. He indicated that Mr. Commons had been concerned
with tot yards.
Mr. Commons noted several concerns to the Commission. He stated that the walk-
ways behind the units should be concrete for maintenance and safety of children.
He noted that balcony railings should be of wood, not wrought iron. He further
noted that there should not be an exterior trash area
Mr. Klepac objected to the trash area being out on Stonegate Drive whereby
the people living there have to haul their trash for some distance.
Mr. Seyranian noted that he had no objections to using concrete on the walkways.
He noted that the trash areas are required by staff and that wood railings
would be no problem.
Secretary Costanzo noted that it is much cheaper to have a central pick-up
point and that the trash truck would have to drive down each driveway if
there were not a central pick-up point, which would be more expensive.
There was quite a bit of concern expressed by the Commission on the trash pick-
up areas being out on the sidewalk. Most of the Commissioners felt that the
front units would have no problem with hauling their trash to the curbside,
but that the back units would have quite a distance to go in order to get their
trash out there. Acting City Manager Addiego noted that each person can carry
it to the curbside or they can have individual pick-up. Normally, he noted,
the City would try to provide a container that various units can use, which
would be economical for the residents, not for the scavenger company. He
further noted that the intent is to eliminate all the cans to reduce the costs
involved with individual pick-up.
Ms. Kay Schulkamp noted her concern with only one egress and ingress. Secre-
tary Costanzo noted that the possibility of building an alternate road through
that development is presently under investigation. He noted that the Planning
Commission and the City Council deleted the extension of Eucalyptus Avenue and
do not have an alternate road because there is no reasonable alternate choice.
He noted that the Fire Department has indicated as part of Phase 3 that there
be a fire road. He further noted that there would be a secondary means of
access on Stonegate, but not off of Ridge Court He further noted that Hemlock
and Larch cannot be used for access because of topography problems.
Chairman Slade asked if the tot lots could be combined. Secretary Costanzo
indicated this is not possible because of the slope problems.
There was further discussion on the trash area. Chairman Slade asked who would
maintain them Secretary Costanzo noted that the dues from the Homeowners'
Association would be used. Commissioner Mullin requested to know why the
architect put in inside trash areas. Mr. Seyranian noted that they have done

entrance of each driveway. He noted that there are existing )ydrants and he
needs to make sure the driveways line up with them. Secretary Costanzo noted
these conditions should relate to the Use Permit and should be deleted from
the Parcel Map and subdivision.
Commissioner Mathewson moved that8M-76-l38 be approved subject to all of the
conditions of the staff report. Vice-Chairman Teglia seconded the motion and
it was passed by the following roll call vote:

SA-76-36
Secretary Costanzo noted that this agenda item should be heard in conjunction
with UP-76-364 and PM-76-l38, because of their close relationship.
SA-76-36, a request of Stonegate Ridge Properties and E. G. Coopman for a
Subdivision Map to create 52 air space condominium units on property located
on the west side of Stonegate Drive, approximately 1000 feet south of Hillside
Boulevard.
Secretary Costanzo presented the staff report.
Mr. Aitken, engineer, noted that the Subdivision Map is basically a supporting
document to the Use Permit and that they have no objections to any of the
conditions.
Commissioner Mathewson noted that he was under the impression that it must be
a unanimous vote to pass a Subdivision Map. Secretary Costanzo noted that
there only must be a quorum.
Commissioner Goldberg moved that SA-76-36 be approved subject to all of the
conditions of the staff report. Vice-Chairman Teglia seconded the motion and
it was passed unanimously.
SGR-Mod. 1
SGR-Mod.l, a request of Stonegate Ridge Properties and E. G. Coopman for
consent to modify the Stonegate Ridge Planned Community Zone District for the
purpose of deleting certain studio and one-bedroom units and replacing same
with two-bedroom air space condominium units.
Secretary Costanzo presented the staff report, noting that this agenda item
should be heard at this time because it relates to the three previous agenda
items.
- 3679 -
December 14, 1976
Commissioner Mathewson noted that he is confused about the change from single
units to two-bedroom units. Secretary Costanzo noted that it was changed by
the developer and that it is his opinion that it has to be more stable than
one-bedroom and studio type rental units, and he feels that this part of the
plan was an error. Commissioner Mathewson requested to know why the density
increased from the previous continuation of the same matter. Secretary
Costanzo noted that when he received the new drawings and elevations with
the addition of the piece of property across Stonegate Drive, he realized
that he had been in error on the previous staff report in calculating the
number of units.
Vice-Chairman Teglia asked how we could remove the outside garbage areas.
Secretary Costanzo noted that we could delete condition #16 of the standard
conditions. Vice-Chairman Teglia suggested amending that conditi'on to say
"that an adequate trash area shall be provided for each unit." Secretary
Costanzo noted that this could be amended as suggested. Commissioner Mullin
noted that this change could mean that they can still provide outside trash
containers. Secretary Costanzo noted that if it is a mandate not to require
outside trash areas, he would enforce this.
Chairman Slade asked if the applicant had contacted the police department re-
garding safety factors. Mr. Seyranian said that he had not. Secretary Cos-
tanzo noted that Special Condition #8 should be added to to read!: "That the
applicant shall comply with conditions of the Police Department."
Vice-Chairman Teglia moved that SGR-Mod. 1 be approved subject to all of the
conditions of the staff report with the above noted changes. Commissioner
Bertucelli seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously.

UP-76-367, cont1d
December 14, 1976
Mr. Peterson noted his objections to several of the conditions as follows:
Special Condition #2, paving the area designated for storage of
vehicles. He noted that this area is owned by the S. F. Water
Department and that no one uses this lot except himself because
there is no other access into it other than from the service
station.
Sp.ei~iali Condition #5., access gates to be 25 feet. He noted that
there is not enough room without removing one existing elec-
trical pole and that there is no truck that large.
Special Condition #9: He noted that he cannot understand the
trash area at that location when there is no trash connected
with this use or that particular lot.
Special Condition #10, lighting. He noted that there are no
night rentals so this would be an additional unnecessary expense.
Secretary Costanzo noted that the City Engineer may require that oiling be done
instead of paving for dust control. He further noted that 15 feet on the
access gates would be sufficient for one-way traffi He noted that in con-
dition #10., the word IIshallll should be changed to IImay.1I He noted that special
condition #9 should be deleted. He further noted that standard condition #17
should be deleted.
Mr. Petrocchi reitergted what ~~r. Peterson had stated regarding toe paving of
the storage area being too expensive.
Mr. Watson, representing U-Haul, noted that he would help Mr. Peterson in any
way he could because it was his fault that the use permit was not obtained in
the first place
Commissioner Mathewson asked what kind of paving would be required. City
Engineer Yee stated that he inspected the site and there was baSically some
weeds and rock or gravel. He further noted that it is a private area and
he has no recommendation on that.
Commissioner Bertucelli asked if there was a San Francisco Water easement on
this particular area. Secretary Costanzo noted that there was, but this will
not affect paving. He further noted that the applicant could put on an oil base
spray and that would probably be sufficient.
Vice-Chairman Teglia noted that sufficient wording should be worked out on
Special Condition #2. Secretary Costanzo noted that it should read: IIThat
the applicant shall treat interior storage area with an oil base material for
the purpose of eliminating dust.1I
Vice-Chairman Teglia moved that UP-76-367 be approved subject to all of the
conditions of the staff report, with the above noted changes. Commissioner
Mathewson seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously.

dance with Stonegate Ridge Phase 3.
SA-76-37, a request of Stonegate Ridge Properties & E. G. Coopman for a
Subdivision Map to create 47 air space condominium townhouse units.
Secretary Costanzo requested that these two matters be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of January 25, 1977, as this phase also re-
quired the submittal of a consent to modify.
Vice-Chairman Teglia moved that UP-76-368 and SA-76-37 be continued to the
Planning Commission meeting of January 25, 1977. Commissioner Bertucelli
seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously.
UP-76-369
UP-76-369, a request of Union Oil Company of California for a Use Permit to
remove two existing freestanding signs over the canopy area and construct
one freestanding pylon sign at 998 El Camino Real.

special conditions.

Mr. Miller noted his acceptance of most of the conditions with the following
exceptions:
#2: He noted that if staff objects, it will be agreeable to put it
on a straight up pole.
#3: It was understood that the la.o~scaping was the requirement of
a previous modification and the majority has been installed.
#4: This requirement should give the sign installer a problem and
he would like to delete the words "prior to the issuance of a
building permit."
He noted that standard conditions #3, #10 and #11 are problems.
#17: He would like this deleted.
#22: He noted that he would like the last sentence deleted regarding
posting exits with stop signs.
UP...76-369, cont'd
December 14, 1976
Secretary Costanzo commented on some of the issues noted by Mr. Miller. He
added the words IIconcurrent with the installation of the new sign" to Special
Condition #4. He deleted standard conditions #10 and #11, and deleted the
last sentence of #22. He noted that he did not agree with the deletion of
#17.
Vice-Chairman Teglia requested to know why the sign would revolve. Mr. Miller
noted that he is trying to be consistent with other service stations, but if
it is required that the sign not revolve, then he will see that it does not
Secretary Costanzo noted that no other service station has a revolving sign,
with maybe one exception. He noted that he would like another condition added
to read as follows:
Special Condi tion #6: "That the sign shall not rotate. II
Mr. Charles Petrocchi, property owner, commented on the curbing requirement
on the property "within the right of way. II He stated that now the City
wanted him to go back and put planter curbs on the State's right of way.
Secretary Costanzo noted that normally there would be a ten foot sidewalk,
not a five foot sidewalk. He further noted that since there is a dead area
there, it is his intent that the applicant remove the asphalt and put in
landscaping. Mr. Petrocchi commented that he would have to get an encroach-
ment permit from the State in order to be able to do this. City Engineer Yee
stated that this would be no problem.
Mr. Petrocchi noted that he did not wish to put in the trash containers as
stated in Standard Condition #17. Secretary Costanzo noted that it is a
standard conditidn?>~ and is aesthetically necessary. Mr. Petrocchi noted that
with these trash containers being enclosed with a concrete wall, there wo~ld
be a possibility of them falling or being knocked down. Commissioner Bertucelli
noted that the Scaven~er Company would be responsible for replacing them if they
knocked them down.
There was some discussion on an oil separator being installed on the property.
Commissioner Mathewson noted that an oil separator was required for Standard
Oil Company and he felt t should be a requirement of this application also.
City Engineer Yee the purpose of an oil semarator and stated that
there is no on-site sewage system with which to connect an oil separator,
therefore, this could not be a requirement.
Commissioner Goldberg noted that in Special Condition #2, the words "El Camino"
should be deleted.
Vice-Chairman Teglia moved that UP-76-369 be approved subject to the conditions
of the staff report with the above listed changes and deletions. Commissioner
Bertucelli seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously.

December 14, 1976
Secretary Costanzo presented the staff report, noting that this action was at
Council's direction and was initiated by the request of Patrick Brosnan.
Commissioner Bertucelli introduced the resolution and set the date for the
public hearing for January 11, 1977. The Resolution of Intention was unani-
mously accepted.
COMMUNICATIONS
The Commission asked about the letter to Charles Petrocchi. Secretary Cos-
tanzo explained that there was a recent request to build a photomat facility
which they felt needed to be rezoned to the proper zoning. Mr. Petrocchi
had noted that this property was a sliver of land at 1000 El Camino and a
portion of Kaiser's property which was classified as "U". Secretary Costanzo
noted that there was an approved use permit on that piece of land without the
supportive zoning. He further noted that through researching this, it was
discovered that this piece of land had originally been P-l which no longer
exists in the City and was listed on the zoning map as R-l in error. He
noted that the Planning Commission could initiate a zone change from R-l to
C-l or Mr. Petrocchi could initiate this zone change at a cost of $200. The
Commission directed staff to initiate this zone change.
