Report regarding the General Plan Update Land Use Alternatives (Lisa Costa Sanders,Project Administrator
and Billy Gross, Senior Planner)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council and Planning Commission receive a presentation and provide
input on the General Plan Update Land Use Alternatives.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
A General Plan is the local government’s long-term blueprint for the community’s vision of future growth.Each
city is required by California law to have a General Plan to guide its future land use decisions.South San
Francisco’s last comprehensive General Plan update occurred in 1999,with the last significant amendment in
2015 to incorporate the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan.
The City Council initiated South San Francisco’s General Plan update process by forming a General Plan
Community Advisory Committee (GPCAC)and selecting the Raimi +Associates consultant team to guide the
effort.The update process includes a comprehensive General Plan update,Climate Action Plan update,Zoning
Code update,and preparation of an Environmental Impact Report.The process includes substantial community
engagement and meetings with the GPCAC, Planning Commission, and City Council.
The consultant team has completed background reports and community outreach on the vision,guiding
principles and land use alternatives.The process was kicked-off with a joint City Council and Planning
Commission study session on April 29,2019.Staff and the consultant team then held a series of community
meetings during August/September of 2019 to engage residents and businesses in the General Plan update
process.Next,a series of community workshops and meetings were held during December 2019-January 2020
to discuss priority community issues and draft vision and guiding principles.An online visioning survey was
launched in June 2020 and over 200 comments were provided on the statement.The revised Vision and
Guiding Principle document is included as Attachment 1.The GPCAC also hosted three community
educational forums that discussed emerging trends in mobility,housing affordability,and regional and local
economic trends.
Building on the community input,staff and the consultant team prepared draft land use alternative maps.The
land use alternatives were reviewed at a Planning Commission study session,with the GPCAC and at a series
of community meetings. The purpose of the meeting this evening is the following:
1.Receive feedback on the Vision and Guiding Principle document included as Attachment 1;
2.Review the General Plan land use alternatives maps included as Attachment 2;
3.Provide City Council and the Planning Commission with initial background analysis on the impacts of
each of the alternatives included as Attachment 3; and
4.Receive City Council and Planning Commission input for the development of a preferred General Plan
land use alternative.

Memo
To: City of South San Francisco
From: Raimi + Associates
Date: July 29, 2020
Re: Revised General Plan Vision
Through sub-area meetings, pop-up events, and discussions with community stakeholders, the
Community Advisory Committee, the Planning Commission, and City Council, we explored how
individuals envision the future of South San Francisco, what makes South City unique and special,
and what things residents and businesses would like to change. Building off that community
engagement, the following memorandum summarizes a draft vision statement, cross-cutting
community values, and key General Plan outcomes (guiding principles).
Community Vision for the Future
South San Francisco is a place where everyone can thrive. Its high quality of life, diverse and
inclusive community, livable neighborhoods and excellent services, culture of innovation, and
environmental leadership ensure all people have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Cross-Cutting Community Values
Throughout the General Plan process, community members identified many shared values and
beliefs. These cross-cutting community values, include: diversity and inclusion, livability,
sustainability, and innovation. While each guiding principle, goal, policy, and action outline what the
City wants to achieve and plans to do, these values describe how future actions should be
implemented.
Equity + Inclusion
We celebrate our diversity. We proactively promote diversity and inclusion for all
races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, ages, religions, and
cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. We strive to ensure equitable access to
services and resources for all, build collaborative partnerships, and promote civic
engagement.

Innovation
We encourage innovation, creative thinking, and state-of-the-art solutions. We
pilot new tools and technologies and forge public-private partnerships that
improve the well-being of residents and the efficiency of City operations and
businesses.
Sustainability
We strive to build and maintain a healthy and safe city. Our actions reduce climate
pollution, adapt to climate disruptions, preserve natural resources, foster a
prosperous and just economy, and meet the needs of current and future
generations to ensure all people have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Livability
We cherish our high quality of life. Residents of all ages, income levels, and
abilities are able to comfortably live in a variety of housing options and can easily
access quality parks, recreational facilities, libraries and community services. We
can travel via safe and reliable transportation options, including walking, biking,
and public transit.
Key Community Outcomes (or Guiding Principles)
The City of South San Francisco seeks to achieve our community’s vision by making decisions and
taking actions across these six key community outcomes:
Affordable, Safe, Attractive, Amenity-Rich Neighborhoods

housing production while also preserving affordable housing and protecting vulnerable residents
from housing instability and displacement. The City focuses new housing in complete
neighborhoods with access to retail and services, parks and open space, and transit. In promoting
the production of new housing, the city will make progress to achieving a balance of jobs and
housing. The City of South Francisco enhances the safety and aesthetics of all neighborhoods.

South San Francisco takes a leadership role in the region in creating a cleaner, healthier, and more
economically viable future through conscious investments and regulatory measures. The City adopts
innovative practices and partnerships aimed at climate pollution reduction, efficient energy and
water use, and clean air.
At the same time, the City prepares for the effects of climate disruption to protect people, habitat,
and our built environment. Housing, transportation, employment areas, and community-serving
facilities and infrastructure are all at risk from warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, and more
extreme weather days. The City prioritizes resources for its most vulnerable communities and
increases the capacity for the most disadvantaged residents and workers to withstand hazards and
adapt to climate disruption.
A Prosperous Local Economy
The City of South San Francisco nurtures a thriving and diverse local economy, capitalizing on the
city’s strategic location near Silicon Valley, San Francisco, San Francisco International Airport , and
strategic locations along critical transportation corridors. The City supports local businesses,
including retail, grocery, dining, entertainment, and arts and cultural uses, while simultaneously
strengthening its role as the worldwide hub of the biotech and life sciences industries and attracting
more jobs in the Technology sector, professional office sector, and other sectors with lon g-term
growth potential and the ability to diversify the City’s supply of high -wage jobs. The City embraces
its legacy as “The Industrial City” and supports a diversity of light industrial, manufacturing, and
maker businesses to maintain a core of middle-wage jobs in the city.
The City builds career pipelines to match residents to local jobs in the life sciences, industrial, and
civil sectors through education and training, creating opportunities for social mobility, ever adapting
to a changing world. The City believes its long-term economic vitality depends on having high quality,
well-resourced public education and workforce training, and the City will continue to foster
educational partnerships with the local school district, community college district, and other
organizations. The City supports Universal Pre-K and childcare, striving to ensure every child has an
opportunity to attend pre-kindergarten.

Discussion Questions
Do you agree with this updated vision statement and policy
direction for the area?
Specific questions:
Should Grand Ave be maintaining as a mixed-use corridor
with higher densities (illustrated in all Alts)?
Should the area adjacent to Caltrain be a transit-oriented
community with higher densities (illustrated in all Alts)?
Do you agree with allowing a new Colma Creek residential
neighborhood to emerge over time (illustrated in all Alts)?
Should Airport be a mixed-use gateway to Downtown
(illustrated on all Alts) with a neighborhood center at
Linden Ave (Alts 2 and 3)?
Do you agree with higher densities on Linden Ave (Alts 2
and 3)?
What is your preferred alternative for the area? Why? Do you have
other ideas that are not illustrated in these alternatives?
What are the priority area improvements or strategies for the
area? Examples include public open space, housing, affordable
housing, small business preservation.

Subject:Aug. 19 Special Meeting, Item 2 – Report regarding the General Plan Update Land Use Alternatives – PUBLIC
COMMENT
Date:Wednesday, August 19, 2020 11:53:49 AM
Dear Honorable Mayor Garbarino, City Councilmembers, and Planning Commissioners:
On behalf of Lane Partners, we are currently working with City staff on proposed entitlements and
an EIR for the SOUTHLINE project, a 2.8M square foot office/R&D commercial campus in the
Lindenville area.
We appreciate the City’s forward progress on the General Plan Update. Under the City’s current
General Plan, the project site is designated as “Office” and allows for a maximum Floor Area Ratio of
up to 2.5. We are pleased to see that the SOUTHLINE project site would remain designated for
office and related land uses under each of the proposed Land Use Alternatives. This site, which is
very close to BART and Caltrain, is an ideal location for an innovative, transit-oriented employment
center, and a transition between more industrial uses on the north and east, and residential
neighborhoods to the south.
Consistent with the City’s current General Plan, SOUTHLINE proposes to construct “Southline
Avenue”, a new east-west street that would bisect the Project site and create a connection between
Sneath Lane and South Linden Avenue to serve as the gateway between Downtown and San Bruno
BART Station. We agree it is appropriate for this roadway connection to be shown in each of the
Land Use Alternatives. As stated in the current General Plan, this connection “would dramatically
increase access to Lindenville and enable trucks to get to I-380 without going through Downtown,”
and would “ensure connection between Downtown and the BART Station.” We recommend that
this policy be carried forward in the City’s updated General Plan.
The SOUTHLINE project intends to implement the City’s vision for the area as reflected under both
the current General Plan and proposed General Plan update. We look forward to the City’s
continued progress on the General Plan update and request that the City continue to consider
SOUTHLINE as it moves forward with this planning effort.
Regards,
Marcus Gilmour
