TO: Planning Commission
SUBJECT: Type C Sign Permit allowing a master sign program for the multi-tenant building
at 401-405 Grand Avenue and 215-219 Maple Avenue in the Downtown
Commercial (D-C-L) Zone in accordance with SSFMC Chapters 20.26, 20.85 &
20.86.
Owner: Rita Hernandez
Applicant: Rita Hernandez! AdImpact
Site Address: 401-405 Grand Avenue and 215-219 Maple Avenue
Case Nos. P05-0168 (Signs 06-0002)
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission approve a Type C Sign Permit allowing a master sign
program for the multi-tenant building at 401-405 Grand Avenue/215-219 Maple Avenue,
based on the attached findings and subject to the attached conditions of approval.
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION:
The subject two-story building is located on the southwest corner of Maple Avenue and Grand
Avenue and contains a variety of tenants. The applicant is seeking approval of signs for the
building. In accordance with SSFMC Chapter 20.76 multi-tenant buildings require a sign
program to ensure consistency. Because the total square footage of proposed signs exceeds 100
square feet, a Type C Sign permit is required. Exterior building signage is proposed for the four
tenant spaces on the first floor. The second floor tenant spaces are currently identified by the
building address, existing door decals, and an existing business directory located in the second
floor entrance lobby.
As stated, there is potential for four first floor tenant spaces, three of which face Maple Avenue.
The proposed sign program is as follows:
Tenant Signage Details
March 16, 2006
Page 2
. One Primary Identification sign consisting of illuminated aluminum framed channel
letters on a raceway. The raceway shall match the color of the building. The sign is to be
centered above the tenant space. The maximum height of the signage shall be IS-inches
and the maximum square footage shall be 23. The location, height and maximum square
footage outlined above will ensure that the signs have a consistent appearance.
. One under canopy sign/flag mount sign. Two of the three tenant spaces have an overhang
that is suitable for an under canopy sign, the tenant space closest to Third Lane does not
have an building overhang over the entrance, and can accommodate a flag sign to match
the under canopy signs. The under canopy signs shall be a maximum of six and one half
inches tall and two and one half feet wide, hung on five inch long square tubing. The
closest edge of the sign shall measure six inches to the building wall. The flag sign will
be a maximum of six and one half inches tall and two and one half feet wide. It will be
attached to the building using an aluminum covered bracket (filler) that holds the sign a
maximum of 2 inches of the building wall. Both the under canopy and the flag signs shall
be double faced aluminum signs that are faced with a vinyl overlay. The under canopy
signs shall be located above the door to the tenant space and the flag sign shall be
mounted within two feet of the west building wall at a similar height to the under canopy
SIgns.
. One tenant door decal with a maximum size of two square feet. Content and materials to
be approved by the Chief Planner.
Should any of the tenant spaces be consolidated, then the maximum square footage for the
primary identification sign would increase by one and one half times. All other signage details
would remain unchanged with one under canopy or flag mounted sign and one door decal per
tenant.
Comerica Bank - Comer Tenant
The major tenant space at the comer of Maple Avenue and Grand Avenue is proposed to be3
occupied by Comerica Banle It has 72 feet and 50 feet of building frontage respectively. Staff
recommends the following signage for this tenant space:
. One Primary Identification sign consisting of illuminated aluminum framed channel
letters on a raceway on the Grand Avenue frontage and one Primary Identification sign
consisting of illuminated aluminum framed channel letters on a raceway on the Maple
Avenue frontage. The raceway shall match the color of the building. The Grand Avenue
March 16,2006

. One under canopy sign. The under canopy sign shall be a maximum of six and one half
inches tall and two and one half feet wide, hung on five inch long square tubing. The
closest edge of the sign shall measure six inches to the building wall. The under canopy
shall be double faced aluminum that is faced with a vinyl overlay. The under canopy
signs shall be located on the Orand Avenue frontage above the main entry door to the
tenant space.
. One door decal with a maximum size of two square feet (as shown on page 7 of the
plans).
All future sign applications are be reviewed and approved by the Planning Division for
consistency with the sign program prior to the issuance of permits.
Second Floor Tenants
All second floor tenants are currently identified with an existing door decal and an existing
directory within the building. The proposed window decal is redundant information and shall be
removed. The second floor tenants shall be identified using the municipal address and the indoor
sign directory.
Master Sign Program Implementation
At this time, only one of the four ground floor tenant spaces is occupied. The existing signage
for the lone ground floor tenant does not conform to the master sign program being proposed. To
ensure proper implementation of the master sign program, staff is recommending that no signs
shall be permitted under this approval until the non-complying signs are removed. This
requirement should ensure implementation of the master sign program occurs in a timely manner.
A condition of approval has been drafted to this effect.
Additionally, aside from the implementation of the new sign program, all signage found within
second story window must be removed from the building. Staff understands that the building
owner has been proactive in their effort to have tenants remove these signs, but many still
remain. These signs must be removed or this matter will be referred to Municipal Code
Enforcement.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
On February 21, 2006 the Design Review Board (DRB) reviewed the plans for the proposed

1. Internally illuminated "can" signs are not consistent with the City's downtown design
guidelines (alternative plans were then presented by the applicant at the meeting).
2. Based on the alternative plans presented, the applicant must make the exposed raceway as
small as possible and paint the raceway to match the building
The applicant has revised the plans to remove all reference to "can" signs and they have noted
that he proposed raceway for the illuminated signs will be painted to match the building. The
DRB minutes are attached to the staff report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
City staffhas determined that the proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to the
provisions of Class 11, Accessory Structures, Section 15311 of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). Because the project has been determined to be exempt, the Planning
Commission is not required to take any action on the environmental document.
CONCLUSION
The master sign program proposed for the building complies with the City's development
standards and will improve the overall aesthetic of the building. Therefore, it is recommended
that the Planning Commission approve the Type C Sign Permit application allowing a master
sign program for the building at 410-405 Grand A venue/215-219 Maple Avenue. Staff has
drafted finding and conditions of approval per the recommendations outlined in the staff report.

Planning Commission
SUBJECT:
Comerica Bank - Use Permit application to allow financial services at
401 Grand Avenue in the Downtown Commercial (D-C- L) Zone District
in accordance with SSFMC Chapters 20.26, 20.81 & 20.85

Applicant:
Case Nos.:
Rita Hernandez
Comerica Bank - Lynn Beteag/Pollack Architecture - Todd
Levine
P05-0168: UP05-0030, DR05-0098, PE05-0006
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve application P05-0168 for Use
Permit UP05-0031 and Design Review file DR05-0098 based on the attached Findings and
subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
BACKGROUND:
Comerica Bank, a full service financial services company, has applied to occupy 2,400 square
feet of space within the multi-tenant building 401-405 Grand Avenue. In accordance with
policies in the General Plan, banks are permitted in ground floor tenant spaces subject to
approval of a Use Permit.
DISCUSSION:
Comerica Bank proposes to remodel and occupy an existing 2,400-square-foot space within a
multi-tenant building at 410-405 Grand Avenue in the Downtown area previously occupied by
Panaderia Hernandez. The application includes interior improvements to the space and an A TM
facing Grand Avenue. Their hours of operation include 9am to 5pm Monday to Thursday, 9am
to 6pm Friday, and 9am to 1 pm Saturday. Comerica Bank is a subsidiary of Comerica
Incorporated. Comerica Bank offers a range of services, including business banking, small
business and personal financial services, and wealth management.
March 16, 2006
Page 2 of 5
Signage
A separate application (SIGN06-0002) has been submitted for the Planning Commission's
consideration of a master sign program for the multi-tenant building at 401-405 Grand Avenue.
The signage shown on the elevations in the plans is representational only.
Zoning & General Plan/Redevelopment Plan Consistency
The property is located within the D-C- L Downtown Commercial Zone District, which allows
"financial services" as a permitted commercial use. However, the General Plan specifically
states that within the Downtown area "the Municipal Code may allow with a use permit non-
residential service oriented establishments (such as banks, travel agencies, and real estate offices)
on the first floor." With the approval of a parking exception, as discussed, the proposed project
meets all Zoning Ordinance development standards.
Parking
The existing building and site cannot accommodate any parking on-site. The tenant space was
most recently occupied by a retail use, which required a total of five (5) parking spaces in
accordance with the City's Zoning Ordinance regulations (1 space per 500 square feet of floor
area occupied). The proposed use requires a total of eight (8) parking spaces, or one space per
300 square feet of floor area occupied. Because no on-site parking can be provided, the applicant
requested and was granted a 3 space parking exception by the Parking Place Commission on
January 10, 2006.
Design Review Board
The project was reviewed by the Design Review Board at their meeting of December 20,2005.
The Board was generally supportive of the proposed design and recommended approval, but
added a few comments including:
1. Revise plans to include 2 separate restroom facilities since there will be more than 4
employees.
2. Include the corridor exit door on the plans.
3. Consider planting 3 to 4 street trees on Maple Avenue once the existing conditions location
of existing utility vaults are surveyed.
March 16, 2006
Page 3 of 5
Based on the Board's recommendations, the applicant has revised the plans to address the first
two comments. The applicant has also illustrated three street trees on the Maple Avenue
frontage. However, the feasibility of planting these trees requires further investigation on the
part of the applicant in conjunction with the City's Engineering Division. A condition of
approval has been included to address street trees on Maple Avenue. The minutes of the Design
Review Board are attached to this staff report.
CEQA
The proposed development has been determined to be categorically exempt under the provisions
ofCEQA. (Class 1, Section 15301: Minor alteration to existing facilities.)
CONCLUSION:
The proposed project meets the intent of the General Plan and complies with the development
standards outlined in the Municipal Code. The proposed use will promote pedestrian traffic in
the downtown area and occupy a space that is currently vacant. Therefore, staff recommends that
the Planning Commission approve application P05-0 168 for Use Permit UP05-0031 and Design
Review file DR05-0098 based on the attached draft Findings and subject to the attached draft
Conditions of Approval.

Staff Report
DATE: January 10,2006
TO: Parking Place Commission
SUBJECT: Parking Exception for three (3) spaces for a financial services use at 405 Grand
Avenue in the Downtown Commercial (D-C- L) Zoning District in accordance with
SSFMC Chapter 20.74.080.
Applicant: Comerica Bank (Lynn Beteag)
Property Owner: Jose J. & Rita Hernandez
Site Address: 405 Grand Avenue
Case No. P05-0168/PE05-0006
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Parking Place Commission approve Parking Exception application P05-0168/PE05-0006 to
allow a three (3) space exception in order to permit a financial services use, based on the findings.
BACKGROUND:
The subj ect building contains four units; the subj ect tenant space is the only space currently
unoccupied. The previous use in the subject tenant space was retail- SSFMC requires one space
for every 500 square feet of gross floor area. The applicant is proposing a Comerica Bank branch
within the 2,400-square-foot space. The floor plan submitted to the City on November 29,2005
show that the bank branch will provide a range of financial services including an A TM, tellers, as
well as office space (see attached floor plans). Due to existing site constraints, no tenants in the
four-unit building provide on site parking.
DISCUSSION:
The subject tenant space is located at the comer of Maple Avenue and Grand Avenue. The gross
floor area of the space is 2,400 square feet. For "Financial Services and Offices" Chapter 20.74.060
of the SSFMC requires one parking space for every 300 square feet of gross floor area occupied.
Since the previous use was retail, which required five (5) spaces, the parking exception for the
financial services use is for three (3) parking spaces.

Subject: Parking Exception for 405 Grand Ave.
January 10, 2006
Page 2 of3
There are two district parking lots (lots 12 and 14) located less than 300 feet from the subject site
(see attached Downtown Parking District Map). Lots 3, 5, 8, and 10 are also within one block of the
subject site. Lots 12 and 14 have 36 and 16 metered and permitted spaces respectively.
Collectively, lots 3, 5, 8, and 10 have 100 metered and permitted spaces. In addition to the 152
metered and permitted parking spaces in the aforementioned district parking lots, there is metered
parking on both sides of Grand Avenue and Maple Avenue in the vicinity of the subj ect site.
Staffbelieves that the amount of parking in the nearby parking lots and on the street will be
sufficient to meet the needs of the proposed use.
CONCLUSION:
The applicant is proposing renovate a 2,400 square foot tenant space for financial services at 405
Grand Avenue. By Code, the proposed use requires eight (8) parking spaces; however the previous
use required five (5) spaces. The result is a parking exception application for three (3) spaces.
There are two district parking lots (Nos. 12 and 14) less than 300 feet from the site, containing a
total of 52 metered and permitted spaces. In addition to lots 12 and 14, there are five other district
parking lots with 100 metered and permitted parking spaces within one block of the subj ect site.
Finally, there is also metered parking along both sides of Grand Avenue and Maple Avenue.
Staffbelieves that there is ample parking in the immediate vicinity to allow the parking exception,
and recommends that the Commission make the required findings and approve Parking Exception
Application P05-0168/PE05-0006 based on the attached findings of approval.

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
405 GRAND AVE. PARKING EXCEPTION
P05-0168/PE05-0006
(As recommend by City Staff on January 10, 2005)
As required by the Parking Exception Application Procedures (SSFMC Section 20.74.080), the
following finding is made in support of Application P05-0168/PE05-0006 to allow an eight (8)
space exception in order to permit a financial services use at 405 Grand Avenue in accordance with
SSFMC 20. 74.080( d), based on public testimony and materials submitted to the South San
Francisco Parking Place Commission which include, but are not limited to: Parking Exception
Application dated November 29,2005; Plans prepared by the applicant, received November 29,
2005; and Parking Place Commission staffreport dated January 10, 2006:
1. Due to the proximity of public parking lots (Nos.- 3, 5, 8 10, 12, and 14), the presence of metered
parking on both sides of Grand Avenue and Maple Avenue, and the relatively small number of
spaces required for the proposed use three (3), there is sufficient parking in the vicinity of the
proj ect site to meet all of the required onsite parking needs of the proposed use.

Staff Report
DATE: March 16,2006
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Michael Lappen, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Genentech San Francisco Bay Trail II Project
Case Numbers:
Applicant/Owner:
P05-0092, DR05-0053 & MND05-0003
Genentech, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration, MND05-0003, and
approve the Genentech Bay Trail II Project, P05-0092.
BACKGROUND:
On November 16, 2000, the City of South San Francisco Planning Commission approved Use
Permit UPOO-064 and Mitigated Negative Declaration MNDOO-064 to allow the construction of
the Founders Research Center II facility on the former Merck site in the Mid-campus area of the
Genentech campus. The Planning Commission Staff Report, which includes the Mitigated
Negative Declaration, addressed the need for the construction of the San Francisco Bay Trail
adjacent to the new research facility. The Staff Report states:
"The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission has jurisdiction over the
shoreline band adjacent to the project site. According to Genentech's site plans, the FRC II will
not encroach into the 100 feet shoreline area. However, the applicant will provide amenities that
are designed to improve access to the Bay."
"The developed portions of the Bay Trail are located in areas north (Genentech campus north of
the point) and south (the Materials Recovery Station and Transfer Station south of the Slough) of
the proposed site. Due to difficult site conditions, Genentech and the adjacent property owner
will be required to work with the City and BCDC in determining the location of the Bay Trail.
Genentech agrees that the Bay Trail will be developed and has hired a landscaping firm to
prepare the concept plan for the entire campus. The Conditions of Approval for this Use Permit

property owner to cooperate in the preparation of the Bay Trail concept plan for the shoreline
area from the Fuller O'Brien property to the existing public access on the Genentech campus."
Condition 9 in the Conditions of Approval for UP-00-064 states: "Prior to approval of a future
development project in the Mid-campus subarea, the applicant shall prepare a concept plan for
future development of the San Francisco Bay Trail and submit it to the Chief Planner for
review. "
Project Location
The Project site is located in the City of South San Francisco, San Mateo County, California. The
project site is part of the 120-acre Genentech biotechnology campus, within the Genentech
designated Upper Facility area. The Project site is bounded the south and east by the San
Francisco Bay (between Point San Bruno and Point San Bruno Knoll), the Founders Research
Center site to the west, two manufacturing buildings (Buildings 1 and 4) to the north, and a
temporary parking area and the Britannia East Grand to the west and south
DISCUSSION:
Genentech, Inc. has submitted an application for approval to construct a portion of the San
Francisco Bay Trail roughly adjacent to Founders' Research Center II. The trail will join the
recently refurbished Bay Trail located adjacent to Buildings 1 & 4 on the Lower Campus area.
The proposed trail extension will be approximately 2,225 linear feet and 12 feet wide. The trail
begins at the end of the existing trail, located at Point San Bruno, runs west parallel to an existing
parking lot and then south along the bluff overlooking the Bay to the south end of the Genentech
campus. The proposed Bay Trail would meet the new trail on the Slough property (Britannia
East Grand) on the beach. All construction would occur outside of the BCDC 100 foot Shoreline
area and no fill would be used to construct the proj ect.
The subject trail will be a 12-foot-wide asphalt pathway, which will provide pedestrian access
along the east shoreline of the Genentech Campus. To accommodate the handicapped, the
proposed trail would include a maximum five percent slope from the lowest point (just above sea
level) to the San Bruno Bluff (approximately 40 feet above the Bay). As indicated on the project
drawings, the southern limits of the pathway will be near the shoreline adjacent to the east-
northeast end of the Slough property, whereas the northern end of the pathway will be at the
Buildings 1 and 4 parking lots (not elevated). The overall length of the trail will be
approximately 2,225 feet. The trail will be surfaced with 3 inches of asphaltic concrete underlain
by 8 inches of Class 2 aggregate base. The upslope edge of the trail will contain a vegetated
Page 3 of5
As shown on the project plans, a 12-inch-diameter HDPE storm drain some 3 to 4 feet in depth
will be constructed beneath the swale extending from Station 5+50 through 12+50. The north
end of the new storm drain will be connected to the existing 42-inch RCP at Station 5+50. The
swale will contain periodic drop inlets to allow surface runoff to flow into the storm drain pipe.
The proposed plan includes the installation of new benches and litter units, landscaping and
boulders, BCDC signage, post and cable safety rails, and a "vendura" wall system along the new
trail. Several benches and litter units would be clustered at the bluff so that visitors could view
the Bay.
Public Assess and Parking
Genentech does not propose to add any additional public parking spaces along the Bay Trail
extension. The proposed plan also indicates that the public access points, as well as public
parking, would be located on Point San Bruno at the north end of the new trail area (which
contains a total of 15 parking spaces) The applicant states that public may also use six parking
spaces located at Britannia East Grand (owned by Slough Estates) which is near the south end of
the trail extension area.
Genentech maintains a temporary parking lot for employees only at Point San Bruno Knoll (the
highest point along the proposed Project site). However, the applicant does not propose to allow
the public to use the temporary parking area or to add any additional public parking spaces along
the Bay Trail extension.
The South San Francisco Municipal Code does not prescribe a specific number of parking spaces
that should be reserved for public access. Generally the Bay Conservation and Development
Commission (BCDC) will determine the locations and appropriate number a parking spaces that
would be necessary for adequate public access.
Mitigation Measure XV -1 in the Mitigated Negative Declaration requires that the applicant
shall submit updated plans to the City following approval of the BCDC permit. The revised plans
shall indicate the specific locations for the existing public parking, show the location for the
existing temporary parking lot on the plans, and if determined by BCDC, show the locations and
number of additional public parking spaces on the Genentech campus.
Design Review Board
On September 20, 2005, the Design Review Board reviewed the application and found that the
Page 4 of5
Design Element policies. The Design Review Board suggested that the applicant add more
benches near the point, provide additional amenities along the trail, and add additional
landscaping adjacent to the path. The DRB agreed that the applicant could work with City staff
to refine the design issues. The applicant submitted the revised trail and landscaping plans in
November 2005.
Mitigated Negative Declaration
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared for the proposed project and distributed
to all interested agencies and individuals on February 14, 2006. A Geotechnical Investigation
and a Noise Study were prepared to address potential impacts related to the development of the
site. The MND identified mitigation measures for Air Quality, Cultural Resources, Geology and
Soils, Hazards, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Transportation and Traffic. The mitigation
measures are incorporated into the Conditions of Approval for the approval of the Design
Review application. The City received one comment from Genentech, Inc. to clarify on the
extent of the grading and the type of fill on the project site. The comment does not affect the
proposed mitigation measures identified in the MND.
Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) Review and Permit
Following approval of the Genentech Bay Trail II Project by the Planning Commission, the Bay
Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) will review a separate application to
construct and maintain the bay trail. BCDC will issue a permit subject to separate conditions of
approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration, MND05-0003, and
approve the Genentech Bay Trail II project, P05-0092.
Respectfully Submitted,

Mike,
As we reviewed the Bay Trail N eg Dec, we have some questions which I am hoping you can clarify:
1.? Pg 6 1 st Paragraph Last Sentence under Proposed Project? States that ?all construction would occur outside of
the BCDC 100 ft shoreline and no fill would be used to construct the project.?? As shown on the drawings most of
the project will occur within the 1 OOft BCDC shoreline and no ?IMPORTED? fill will be used.? We do have some fill
on site but will use cut from the site.? This statement is repeated also on page 16 and 24.
2.? Peer Review.? Since the document requires Genentech to comply with the peer review (page 9), will you please
give us a copy of the Peer review.
3.? Noise Study:? The?Noise study conducted by SMW, indicates noise?measurements at seven locations along the
Bay trail including FRCII utility yard ( map is attached and was included in the report). Please identify any other
locations you require noise evaluation.
4. ?Light or Glare? on page 25, 2nd paragraph indicates that new light standards will be installed.? The drawings do
not indicate any new lights along this path.? Some existing light fixtures will be relocated to?accommodate the path.
Thanks

l'-dITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATIOl~
APPLICATION
This Negative Declaration (Application Number P05-0092) is for the proposed Genentech San
Francisco Bay Trail Project.
APPLICANT
The Project Applicant is Genentech, Inc.
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
The project will consist of construction of the extension to the San Francisco Bay Trail between
Point San Bruno and Britannia East Grand project (owned by Slough Estates). The construction
of the proposed project would result in linking the various segments of San Francisco Bay Trail
in South San Francisco, provide exceptional view to the Bay, and improve public access and
recreation along the shoreline.
LOCATION
The Project site is located in an eastern portion of South San Francisco, the east of US 101 area,
and adjacent to the San Francisco Bay between Point San Bruno and Point San Bruno Knoll.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Purpose of the Proposed Project
On November 16, 2000, the City of South San Francisco Planning Commission approved Use
Permit UPOO-064 and Mitigated Negative Declaration MNDOO-064 to allow the construction of
the Founders Research Center II facility on the former Merck site in the Mid-campus area of the
Genentech campus. The Planning Commission Staff Report, which includes the Mitigated
not encroach into the 100 feet shoreline area. However, the applicant will provide amenities that
are designed to improve access to the Bay.
The developed portions of the Bay Trail are located in areas north (Genentech campus north of
the point) and south (the Materials Recovery Station and Transfer Station south of the Slough) of
the proposed site. Due to difficult site conditions, Genentech and the adjacent property owner
will be required to work with the City and BCDC in determining the location of the Bay Trail.
Genentech agrees that the Bay Trail will be developed and has hired a landscaping firm to
prepare the concept plan for the entire campus. The Conditions of Approval for this Use Permit
include a requirement that Genentech enter into an agreement with the City and the adjacent
property owner to cooperate in the preparation of the Bay Trail concept plan for the shoreline
area from the Fuller O'Brien property to the existing public access on the Genentech campus. 1"
Condition 9 in the Conditions of Approval for UP-00-064 states: "Prior to approval of a future
development project in the Mid-campus subarea, the applicant shall prepare a concept plan for
future development of the San Francisco Bay Trail and submit it to the Chief Planner for
review."
Proposed Project
In July 2005, Genentech, Inc. submitted an application for Design Review approval to develop a
portion of the San Francisco Bay Trail roughly adjacent to Founders' Research Center II. The
trail will join the recently refurbished Bay Trail located adjacent to Buildings 1 & 4 on the
Lower Campus area. The proposed trail extension will be approximately 2,225 linear feet and 12
feet wide. The trail begins at the end of the existing trail, located at Point San Bruno, runs west
parallel to an existing parking lot and then south along the bluff overlooking the Bay to the south
end of the Genentech campus. The proposed Bay Trail would meet the new trail on the Slough
property (Britannia East Grand) on the beach. All construction would occur outside of the BCDC
100 foot Shoreline area and no fill would be used to construct the proj ect.
The subject trail will be a 12-foot-wide asphalt pathway, which will provide pedestrian access
along the east shoreline of the Genentech Campus. To accommodate the handicapped, the
proposed trail would include a maximum five percent slope from the lowest point (just above sea
level) to the San Bruno Bluff (approximately 40 feet above the Bay). As indicated on the project
drawings, the southern limits of the pathway will be near the shoreline adjacent to the east-
northeast end of the Slough property, whereas the northern end of the pathway will be at the
Buildings 1 and 4 parking lot (not elevated). The overall length of the trail will be approximately
2,225 feet. The trail will be surfaced with 3 inches of asphaltic concrete underlain by 8 inches of
As shown on the project plans, a 12-inch-diameter HDPE storm drain some 3 to 4 feet in depth
will be constructed beneath the swale extending from Station 5+50 through 12+50. The north
end of the new storm drain will be connected to the existing 42-inch RCP at Station 5+50. The
swale will contain periodic drop inlets to allow surface runoff to flow into the storm drain pipe.
The proposed plan includes the installation of new benches and litter units, landscaping and
boulders, BCDC signage, post and cable safety rails, and a vendura wall system along the new
trail. Several benches and litter units would be clustered at the bluff so that visitors could view
the Bay. The proposed plan also indicates that the public access points, as well as public parking,
would be located on the north (which contains a total of 15 parking spaces in the public parking
area set aside for Bay Trail users at Point San Bruno) and another six. spaces located on another
property (owned by Slough Estates) south of the Project site. Genentech does not propose to add
any additional public parking spaces along the Bay Trail extension.

CmEF PLANNER'S DETERMINATION
After due consideration, the Chief Planner of the City of South San Francisco has found that with
the implementation of mitigation measures identified in this Negative Declaration, the proposed
Project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the Project will not
require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report, and the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) will be met by the preparation of this Negative
Declaration. This decision is supported by the following findings:
a. The Project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community. It does not reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered
plant or animal. It does not eliminate important examples of the major periods of
California history or pre-history because: there is no identified area at the Project site
which is habitat for rare or endangered species, or which represents unique examples of
California history or prehistory. In addition, the Project is within the scope of use
contemplated in the General Plan; and the Project does not have any significant,
unavoidable adverse impacts. Implementation of specified mitigation measures will
avoid or reduce the effects of the Project on the environment and thereby avoid any
_~ _~.c: _~_"" ~__~~""~
c. The Project does not involve impacts, which are individually limited but cumulatively
considerable, because the described Project will incorporate both Project-specific
mitigation measures and cumulative mitigation measures to avoid significant impacts of
the Project in the context of continued growth and development in the City of South San
Francisco.
d. Potentially significant impacts have been or would be reduced to a level of less than
significant through implementation of the City's existing ministerial requirements and
mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study. The following mitigation measures are
required for the project:
Air Quality
The proposed proj ect would require significant grading on a slope and the construction of the
new retaining wall. The grading on the slope is a construction activity with a high potential for
creating air pollutants. In addition to the dust created during grading and construction, substantial
dust emissions could be created as debris is loaded into trucks for disposal. This represents a
potentially significant impact. The project will be required to comply with Mitigation Meaure
ill-I (Dust Suppression Measures), which would reduce the impact to less than significant.
Cultural Resources
No human remains have been identified on the Project site. However, Mitigation Measure V-I
states that if such remains are encountered during site preparation associated with the
construction work at the Project site, all work shall be halted in the vicinity, the San Mateo
County Coroner shall be informed to determine if an investigation of the cause of death is
required, and to determine if the remains are of Native American origin.
Geology and Soils
The Mitigated Negative Declaration incorporates the BAGG Report and peer review
recommendations into the mitigation measures. The Engineering Division has prepared
conditions of approval that are also incorporated into the design and construction of the project.
The Mitigated Negative Declaration has identified several issues related to slope stability that are
considered to have a potentially significant impact. Mitigation Measures VI-la, VI-Ib, VI-Ic,
VI-2, VI-3, and VI-4 require that the applicant comply with the recommendations in the BAGG
Report and the Peer Review and submit reports to the City Engineer for review and approval.
The proposed Project is located in an area zoned for packaging/manufacturing, research and
development and industrial uses. Even though the Project itself would not be handling hazardous
materials, the magnitude of the potential risk or upset to individuals using the trail would be
reduced to normally acceptable levels by compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws
and regulations.
Genentech operates under a permit from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control,
which regulates the use and disposal of toxic materials. Genentech also has a permit from the
California Department of Health Services for the use of radioactive material and Genentech
continues to operate under all applicable federal, state and local guidelines governing hazardous
waste for all uses and facilities on the campus, the impact to the Project with regards to
hazardous waste would be potentially sign ijican t. Mitigation Measure VII.I requires the
applicant to prepare and submit a site Health and Safety Plan to the City Engineer prior to
issuance of a grading permit. The mitigation measure would reduce the impact to less than
significant with mitigation.
Hydrology and Water Quality
The soils at the Project site may be susceptible to erosion during construction activities when
soils are disturbed. This represents a potentially ~ignijicant impact associated with the proposed
Project. Mitigation Measure VIII-I requires that the applicant shall submit a Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and an Erosion Control Plan to the City Engineer prior to the
commencement of any grading or construction of the proposed Project. The SWPPP shall
include storm water pollution control devices and filters to be installed to prevent pollutants from
entering the City's storm drain system and San Francisco Bay. The Plan shall be subject to
review and approval of the City Engineer and the City's Storm Water Coordinator.
The Project applicant shall be responsible for ensuring that all contractors are aware of all storm
water quality measures, and for the implementation of such measures. Failure to comply with
the approved construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) will result in the issuance of
correction notices, citations or a Project stop order.
Plans for the Project shall comply with the Conditions of Approval provided by the Storm Water
Coordinator and include erosion control measures to prevent soil, dirt and debris from entering
the storm drain system, in accordance with the regulations outlined in the Association of Bay
Area Governments Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook. The mitigation measure would
reduce the impact to less than signijicant.

area south of FRC II. The East of 101 Area Plan contains Policy NO-4, which states the
following:
"New Development shall be designed so that the average noise level resulting from new
development does not exceed an Leq of 60 dBA at the nearest open space or recreation area."
The Mitigated Negative Declaration for Founders Research Center II contains Mitigation
Measure XI.a, which requires the applicant to conduct a noise analysis to determine the
project's (FRC II) potential impacts on the open space area and comply with the East of 101
Area Plan Noise policies2. Genentech prepared a noise study that evaluated the potential noise
impact from the generator located in the FRC II loading area (Building 15, which is unoccupied).
As the proposed Bay Trail will be located adj acent to several sites that may generate noise that
may exceed an Leq of 60 dBA. Therefore, the noise impact from existing operations noted above
is considered to be potentially significant. Mitigation Measure XI-2 requires that the applicant
prepare a noise analysis that measures the noise impact to the future Bay Trail from all
operations on the Genentech campus. The report shall be submitted to the City Engineer for
review and approval.
During site preparation and construction at the Project site, operation of heavy equipment could
result in a substantial temporary increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the Project
site. Project construction would result in temporary short-term noise increases due to the
operation of heavy equipment. The open space area along the shoreline area is considered to be
an existing noise-sensitive receptor that would be affected by Project-generated construction
noise. If noise controls are installed on construction equipment, the noise levels could be reduced
to 80 to 85 dBA at 25 feet, depending on the type of equipment. Mitigation Measure XI-I
requires that the applicant comply with the City's noise limit and hourly restrictions specified in
the City Noise Ordinance, construction-related noise impacts could be reduced to a level of less
than significant with mitigation.
Transportation/Traffic
The applicant has indicated that the public can access the Project site from the existing public
parking area located on the north side of the Project area (which contains a total of 15 parking
spaces at Point San Bruno) and public parking spaces located on another property . (owned by
Slough Estates) south of the Project site. Genentech maintains a temporary parking lot for
employees only at Point San Bruno Knoll (the highest point along the proposed Project site).
However, the applicant does not propose to allow the public to use the temporary parking area or
to add any additional public parking spaces along the Bay Trail extension. The South San
necessary for adequate public access. Therefore, the impact on parking is considered to be
potentially significant. Mitigation Measure XV -1 requires that the applicant shall submit
updated plans to the City following approval of the BCDC penrtlt. The revised plans shall
indicate the specific locations for the existing public parking, show the location for the existing
temporary parking lot on the plans, and if determined by BCDC, show the locations and number
of additional public parking spaces on the Genentech campus.

PROJECT CONTEXT AND DESCRIPTION
Purpose of the Proposed Project
On November 16, 2000, the City of South San Francisco Planning Commission approved Use
Permit UPOO-064 and Mitigated Negative Declaration MNDOO-064 to allow the construction of
the Founders Research Center II facility on the former Merck site in the Mid-campus area of the
Genentech campus. The Planning Commission Staff Report, which includes the Mitigated
Negative Declaration, addressed the need for the construction of the San Francisco Bay Trail
adjacent to the new research facility. The Staff Report states:
"The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission has jurisdiction over the
shoreline band adjacent to the project site. According to Genentech's site plans, the FRC II will
not encroach into the 100 feet shoreline area. However, the applicant will provide amenities that
are designed to improve access to the Bay.
The developed portions of the Bay Trail are located in areas north (Genentech campus north of
the point) and south (the Materials Recovery Station and Transfer Station south of the Slough) of
the proposed site. Due to difficult site conditions, Genentech and the adjacent property owner
will be required to work with the City and BCDC in determining the location of the Bay Trail.
Genentech agrees that the Bay Trail will be developed and has hired a landscaping fmn to

include a requirement that Genentech enter into an agreement with the City and the adjacent
development project in the Mid-campus subarea, the applicant shall prepare a concept plan for
future development of the San Francisco Bay Trail and submit it to the ~hief Planner for
review. "
Proposed Project
In July 2005, Genentech, Inc. submitted an application for Design Review approval to develop a
portion of the San Francisco Bay Trail roughly adjacent to Founders' Research Center II. The
trail will join the recently refurbished Bay Trail located adjacent to Buildings 1 & 4 on the
Lower Campus area. The proposed trail extension will be approximately 2,225 linear feet and 12
feet wide. The trail begins at the end of the existing trail, located at Point San Bruno, runs west
parallel to an existing parking lot and then south along the bluff overlooking the Bay to the south
end of the Genentech campus. The proposed Bay Trail would meet the new trail on the Slough
property (Britannia East Grand) on the beach. All construction would occur outside of the BCDC
100 foot Shoreline area and no fill would be used to construct the project.
The subject trail will be a 12-foot-wide asphalt pathway, which will provide pedestrian access
along the east shoreline of the Genentech Campus. To accommodate the handicapped, the
proposed trail would include a maximum five percent slope from the lowest point Gust above sea
level) to the San Bruno Bluff (approximately 40 feet above the Bay). As indicated on the project
drawings, the southern limits of the pathway will be near the shoreline adjacent to the east-
northeast end of the Slough property, whereas the northern end of the pathway will be at the
Buildings 1 and 4 parking lot (not elevated). The overall length of the trail will be approximately
2,225 feet. The trail will be surfaced with 3 inches of asphaltic concrete underlain by 8 inches of
Class 2 aggregate base. The upslope edge of the trail will contain a vegetated drainage swale and
the down slope edge will have a safety rail. As shown on the project plans, a 12-inch-diameter
HDPE storm drain some 3 to 4 feet in depth will be constructed beneath the swale extending
from Station 5+50 through 12+50. The north end of the new storm drain will be connected to the
existing 42-inch RCP at Station 5+50. The swale will contain periodic drop inlets to allow
surface runoff to flow into the storm drain pipe.
The proposed plan includes the installation of new benches and litter units, landscaping and
boulders, BCDC signage, post and cable safety rails, and a vendura wall system along the new
trail. Several benches and litter units would be clustered at the bluff so that visitors could view
the Bay. The proposed plan also indicates that the public access points, as well as public parking,
would be located on the north (which contains 15 parking spaces in the public parking lot at
Point San Bruno) and south (which would contain six parking spaces on Slough Estates'
property) portions of the property. Genentech does not propose to add any additional public
Genentech Corporate Facilities Master Plan and Research & Development Overlay District
The San Francisco Bay Trail extension will be located in the Ivliddle-Facility Area of the
Genentech campus, which is subject to growth, development and design standards established in
the Genentech Research and Development Overlay Zone of the Municipal Code. The impacts
related to the Genentech campus development potential, including the Upper Facility, were
previously assessed in the Negative Declaration for the Genentech R&D Overlay Zone, the East
of 101 Area Plan Environmental Impact Report, 1999 General Plan Environmental Impact
Report, and the General Plan Amendment and Transportation Demand Management Ordinance
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report.
The Master Plan and R&D Overlay District consists of all lands classified on the City's Zoning
Map. All land use policies, regulations, development and design standards, and requirements are
set forth in the 1999 General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance.
City of South San Francisco General Plan
Adopted in October 1999, the South San Francisco General Plan recognizes that the
biotech/R&D industry is South San Francisco's largest industrial cluster. Likewise, the General
Plan recognizes that the bayfront is South San Francisco's most significant natural feature. While
access will improve over time as properties are redeveloped, US 101 significantly hinders
residents to the west from accessing the bayfront. The General Plan proposes several solutions
for increased bayfront access and establishes goals/policies for the City and East of 101 area,
such as:
· Establishes an economic development program that promotes the biotecbnology/R&D
industrial cluster;
. Encourages the development of R&D campuses;
. Establishes infrastructure capacity;
. Establishes transportation improvements;
· Promotes employee amenities, open space and recreation areas;
· Improves the accessibility and visibility of the bay front; and,
. Increases bay front access.
"R&D Overlay District" Regulations
The Research and Development Overlay District establishes regulations for reclassifying to and
from this district and establishes development standards and requirements within the district. The
· Requires preparation of design guidelines;
· Establishes permit review procedures; and,
· Allows for development of facility-specific standards.
"Genentech R&D Overlay District"
The Zoning Ordinance establishes the Genentech Research and Development Overlay District
and prescribes planning and design principles for facility-wide development in accordance with
the Genentech facility master plan. It:
· Maps the Genentech properties covered by the "Genentech R&D Overlay District";
· Identifies FAR and parking standards for Genentech properties consistent with the South
San Francisco General Plan;
· Establishes Genentech-specific design guidelines; and,
· Identifies standards that would be applied facility-wide (setbacks, FAR, parking, signage,
building heights, and lot coverage, etc.) for the Genentech campus.
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND SETTING
The proposed Bay Trail extension would be located on the Middle-Facility area of the Genentech
campus. The Genentech campus is located on 120 acres roughly bounded by the San Francisco
Bay on the east and north, Cabot, Cabot and Forbes Business Park on the west, and the Britannia
East Grand research and development campus on the south.

INITIAL STUDY CHECKLIST
The Checklist portion of the Initial Study begins below, with explanations of each answer. A
"no impact' response indicates, for example, that no displacement of existing housing would
occur due to the Project, because no housing units now exist within the Project site which might
need to be removed to enable the Project to proceed. A "less than significant' response
indicates that while there may be potential for an environmental impact, there are standard
procedures or regulations in place, or other features of the Project as proposed, which would
limit the extent of this impact to a level of "less than significant." Responses that indicate that
the impact of the Project would be "less than significant with mitigation" indicate that
mitigation measures, identified in the subsequent discussion, will be required as a condition of
Project approval in order to effectively reduce potential Project-related environmental effects to a
level of "less than significant."

character or quality of the site and its

d) Create a new source of substantial light or ] [ ] [ X] [ ]
glare, which would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area?
The Project site is located on undeveloped property above the San Francisco Bay. South San
Francisco's urban character is one of contrasts within a visually well-defined setting. San Bruno
Mountain to the north, the ridge along Skyline Boulevard to the west, and the San Francisco Bay
to the east provide the City with distinctive edges. The City is contained in almost a bowl like
fashion by hills on three sides. The City's terrain ranges from the flatlands along the water to
hills east and north. Hills are visible from all parts of the City, and Sign Hill and San Bruno
Mountain (which is outside City limits) in the distance are visual landmarks. Much of the City's
topography is rolling, resulting in distant views from many neighborhoods. Geographically, the
City is relatively small, extending approximately two miles in a north-south direction and about
five miles from east to west. South San Francisco's industrial roots are reflected in its urban
character, especially in its eastern parts. Almost 20 percent of South San Francisco's land is
occupied by industrial and warehousing uses.
East of 101 Area
The Project site is located in the East of 101 area of South San Francisco. The East of 101 area
was part of the first industrial development in South San Francisco about 100 years ago. Since
then, the area has undergone many transformations. Pioneering industrial uses, such as steel
manufacturing, and meat packaging gave way to industrial park and warehousing and
distribution uses that came to dominate the area in the 50s and 60s. The recent emergence of
modem office buildings marks the third major wave of land use change in the area. The newly
emerging office areas are unique in their uses of consistent and conscious street tree planting,
while the rest of the City, including downtown, is almost bereft of street trees. Older
manufacturing uses, industrial park structures and tilt-up warehousing buildings can all be found
in the area. Blocks are generally very large in size and the area has a very stark industrial look.
Numerous abandoned railroad spurs are present.
The Genentech Campus
The site is located in the Genentech biotechnology campus. The Genentech Corporate Facilities
Master Plan and the Genentech Research and Development contain specific development and
site design standards that ensure high quality development on the campus. Since 1995,
Genentech has continued to expand the Overlay District and create an integrated campus
environment. In 2005, the City approved Genentech's plans to rezone three parcels from Planned
Industrial to the Genentech Research & Development Overlay District. The new parcels
increased the size of the Genentech Research and Development Overlay District from 92 acres to
120 acres.
In July 2005, Genentech, Inc. submitted an application for Design Review approval to develop a
portion of the San Francisco Bay Trail roughly adjacent to Founders' Research Center II. The
trail will join the recently refurbished Bay Trail located adjacent to Buildings 1 & 4 on the
Lower Campus area. The proposed trail extension will be approximately 2,225 linear feet and 12
feet wide. The trail begins at the end of the existing trail, located at Point San Bruno, runs west
parallel to an existing parking lot and then south along the bluff overlooking the Bay to the south
end of the Genentech campus. The proposed Bay Trail would meet the new trail on the Slough
property (Britannia East Grand) on the beach. All construction would occur outside of the BCDC
100 foot Shoreline area and no fill would be used to construct the project.
The proposed Bay Trail plan includes the installation of new benches and litter units,
landscaping and boulders, BCDC signage, post and cable safety rails, and a vendura retaining
wall system along the new trail. Several benches and litter units would be clustered at the bluff
so that visitors could view the Bay. The proposed plan also indicates that the public access
points, as well as public parking, would be located on the north (which contains 15 parking
spaces in the public parking lot at Point San Bruno) and south (on Slough Estates' property)
portions of the property. Genentech does not propose to add any additional public parking
spaces along the Bay Trail extension.
a) Scenic Vistas
Impact
Threshold of Significance: For the purpose of assessing impacts of a proposed Project on scenic
vistas, the threshold of significance is exceeded when a Project would result in the obstruction of
a designated public vista, or in the placement of an arguably offensive or negative-appearing
object within such a vista. Any clear conflict with a General Plan policy or other adopted
planning policy regarding scenic vistas would also be considered a potentially significant adverse
environmental impact.
The Project site is consistent with the East of 101 Area Design Element and the Master Plan and
it is not located within any formally designated scenic vista. Therefore, the proposed Proj ect
would have no impact on a scenic vista. The project will not obstruct the view of the wind harp
located on San Bruno Knoll. The proposed project will increase access and views to the San
Francisco Bay.

Center facility, the site was part of the Merck facility. The former manufacturing site contained
several manufacturing buildings and seawater tanks for a Marine Magnesium Plant. The
proposed project would not include any new buildings and the remaining debris, from the former
user, would be removed. The proposed trail and landscaping plan would incorporate existing
plantings and introduce new vegetation. The vegetation would include the following trees and
plantings: Coast Live Oak, Afgan Pine, Oregon Grape, Autumn Moor Grass, Bishop's Pine,
Strawberry Tree, Wilson's Holly, Scarlet Bugler, and Ramana's Rose. The Project would have
no impact on scenic resources within a state scenic highway since it is not located on a state
scenic highway.
c) Visual Character
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings.
The bayfront area is currently undeveloped. Prior to the construction of the Founders' Research
Center facility, the site was part of the Merck facility. The formermanufacturing site contained
several manufacturing buildings and seawater tanks for a Marine Magnesium Plant. The
proposed project would not include any new buildings and the remaining debris, from the former
user, would be removed. The proposed trail and landscaping plan would incorporate existing
plantings and introduce new vegetation. The vegetation would include the following trees and
plantings: Coast Live Oak, Afgan Pine, Oregon Grape, Autumn Moor Grass, Bishop's Pine,
Strawberry Tree, Wilson's Holly, Scarlet Bugler, and Ramana's Rose. The Project, as a Bay
Trail extension would improve the visual character of the site and conform to its surrounding
campus architectural style established by the Genentech Corporate Facilities Master Plan and the
East of 101 Area Plan Design Element. It would replace a former industrial site with debris with
an a state of the art Bay Trail and provide additional landscaping. Therefore the Project would
have a less than significant impact on visual character.
d) Light or Glare
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project related creation of any new source of substantial light or
glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area would be regarded as a
significant environmental impact.
Project implementation would involve installation of light standards at various locations at the

II. AGRlCUL TURE RESOURCES: In determining
whether impacts to agricultural resources are
significant environmental effects, lead agencies
may refer to the California Agricultural Land
Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997)
prepared by the California Dept. of
Conservation as an optional model to use in
assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland.
Would the Project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique
Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the
maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland
Mapping and Monitoring Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-
agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for
agricultural use, or a Williamson Act
contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing
environment which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of
Farmland, to non-agricultural use?

a) Converting Prime Farmland
The Project area is in the midst of an urban area that has already been developed in a mix of
residential and commercial uses. No Prime Farmlands, Unique Fannlands or Farmlands of
Statewide Importance have been identified at the Project site. Project development would not
result in the conversion of any Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmlands or Farmlands of Statewide
Importance to non-agricultural uses.
b) Conflict with Agricultural Zoning
There are no areas in the vicinity of the Project site that have been zoned for agricultural uses
and no parcels near the Project site are currently under Williamson Act contracts. Projec~
development would not result in the conversion of any land currently zoned for agricultural use
or in Williamson Act contracts to non-agricultural uses.
The Project involves no activities that would result in conversion of farmland or other land in
agricultural to non-agricultural uses.

Setting
1999 South San Francisco General Plan and Environmental Impact Report
Genentech projects were previously analyzed in the 1999 South San Francisco General Plan E1R
and the General Plan Amendment and Transit Demand Ordinance Supplemental EIR. The EIR
and SEIR calculated potential future development by using average densities and intensities from
the different land use classifications to vacant sites and sites with potential
redevelopment/intensification opportunities. The General Plan buildout is described in Chapter 3
of the 1999 General Plan E1R and Chapter 4.2 Land Use in the General Plan Amendment and
TDM Ordinance SEIR. The General Plan also contains specific policies that require the City to
adhere to current federal and state regulations. Policv 7.3-1-2 states: "Use the Cltv's
State of California and Federal Air Quality Standards
The amount of a given pollutant in the atmosphere is determined by the rate of release and the
atmosphere's ability to transport and dilute the pollutant. The major determinants of transport
and dilution are wind, atmospheric stability, terrain and, for photochemical pollutants, sunshine.
Northwest winds are most common in South San Francisco, reflecting the orientation of wind
gaps within the mountains of the San Francisco Peninsula. Winds are persistent and strong,
providing excellent ventilation and carrying pollutants downwind. Winds are lightest on the
average in fall and winter.
The persistent winds in South San Francisco result in a relatively low potential for air pollution.
Even so, in fall and winter there are periods of several days when winds are very light and local
pollutants can build up.
Both the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board have
established ambient air quality standards for common pollutants. These ambient air quality
standards are levels of contaminants, which represent safe levels th~t avoid specific adverse
health effects associated with each pollutant. The ambient air quality standards cover what are
called "criteria" pollutants because the health and other effects of each pollutant are described in
criteria documents.
Bay Area Air Quality Management District
The local air quality agency is the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). The
BAAQMD enforces rules and regulations regarding air pollution sources and is the primary
agency preparing the regional air quality plans mandated under state and federal law. The
BAAQMD has prepared air quality impact guidelines for use in preparing environmental
documents under the California Environmental Quality Act.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) monitors air quality at several
locations within the San Francisco Bay Air Basin, although none are located in South San
Francisco. The monitoring sites closest to the Project site are located in San Francisco to the
north and Redwood City to the south. Table Ill-1 summarizes the air quality data recorded
these two sites. The table shows that most of the ambient air quality standards are met in the
Project area with the exception the state standard for PMlO.

Significance Thresholds. The CEQA environmental checklist provides five questions regarding
air quality impact significance. Where available, the significance criteria established by the
applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make
the determinations of significance. BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines4 provide the following
definitions of a significant air quality impact:
.. A project contributing to carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations exceeding the State
Ambient Air Quality Standard of 9 parts per million (ppm) averaged over 8 hours or 20
ppm for 1 hour would be considered to have a significant impact.
· A project that generates criteria air pollutant emissions in excess of the BAAQMD annual
or daily thresholds would be considered to have a significant air quality impact. The
current thresholds are 15 tons/vear or 80 nounds/dav for Reactlve On!anlC Ga~e~ (Ront
.L -----oJ ---r-----
. Any project with the potential to frequently expose members of the public to
objectionable odors would be deemed to have a significant impact.
. Any project with the potential to expose sensitive receptors or the general public to
substantial levels of toxic air contaminants would be deemed to have a significant impact.
The term "substantial levels" is further defined as an exposure associated with an excess
cancer risk of 1 0 in one million.
The BAAQMD significance thresholds for construction dust impacts are based on the
appropriateness of construction dust controls. The BAAQMD guidelines provide feasible
control measures for construction emission ofPMlO. If the appropriate construction controls are
to be implemented, then air pollutant emissions for construction activities would be considered
less than significant.
a) Conflict with Air Quality Plan
Setting
The San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin is currently non-attainment for ozone (state and federal
ambient standards) and PMlO (state ambient standard). While air quality plans exist for ozone,
none exists (or is currently required) for PMlO. The Proposed Final San Francisco Bay Area
Ozone Attainment Plan for the i-Hour National Ozone StandardS is the current ozone air quality
plan required under the Federal Clean Air Act. The state-mandated regional air quality plan is
the Bay Area 2000 Clean Air Plan.6 These plans contain mobile source controls, stationary
source controls and transportation control measures to be implemented in the region to attain the
state and federal ozone standards within the Bay Area Air Basin.
Impact
Threshold of Significance: A project would be judged to conflict with or obstruct implementation
of the regional air quality plan if it would be inconsistent with the growth assumptions, in terms
of population, employment or regional growth in Vehicle Miles Traveled.
The Project would have less than significant bnpact on any of the growth assumptions made in
the preparation of these plans nor obstruct implementation of any of the proposed control
measures contained in these plans.
Impact
Construction Dust. The proposed Project would require significant grading on a slope and the
construction of new retaining walls. The grading on the slope is a construction activity with a
high potential for creating air pollutants. In addition to the dust created during grading and
construction, substantial dust emissions could be created as debris is loaded into trucks for
disposal.
The California Health and Safety Code requires local agencies not to issue demolition permits
until an applicant has demonstrated compliance with notification requirements under applicable
federal regulations regarding asbestos, lead-based paint and other potentially hazardous building
materials. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is vested by the California
Legislature with authority to regulate airborne pollutants through both inspection and law
enforcement, and is to be notified ten days in advance of any proposed demolition and must
provide information on the amount and nature of any hazardous pollutants, nature of planned
work and methods to be employed, and the name and location of the waste disposal site to be
used. The purpose of BAAQMD regulations is the minimization of potential hazards to the
public and surrounding land uses.
The Project must also comply with California Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(CaVOSHA) regulations, standards and procedures and California Department of Health Services
(DHS) Lead Work Practice Standards. These regulations are designed to minimize worker and
general public exposure to hazardous building materials.
The above regulations and procedures, already established and enforced as part of the permit
review process, would ensure that any potential impacts due to asbestos, lead or other hazardous
materials would be reduced to a level of insignificance.
After removal of the existing structure, construction dust would continue to affect local air
quality during construction of the parking garage. Construction activities would generate
exhaust emissions from vehicles/equipment and fugitive particulate matter emissions that would
affect local air quality.
Construction activities would temporarily affect local air quality, causing a temporary increase in
particulate dust and other pollutants. Dust emission during periods of construction would
increase particulate concentrations at neighboring properties. This impact is potentially
significant, but normally mitigatible.
based on the appropriateness of construction dust controls. The BAAQMD guidelines provide
feasible control measures for construction emission of PMlO. If the appropriate construction
controls are to be implemented, then air pollutant emissions for construction activities would be
considered less than significant.
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation Measure 111-1: Dust Suppression Procedures. The following measures are
recommended for inclusion in construction contracts to control fugitive dust emissions.
During Demolition of Existing Structure
· Watering should be used to control dust generation during demolition of structures and
break-up of pavement.
. Cover all trucks hauling demolition debris from the site.
· Use dust-proof chutes to load debris into trucks whenever feasible.
During Construction
. Water all active construction areas at least twice daily.
· Water or cover stockpiles of debris, soil, sand or other materials that can be blown by the
wind.
. Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials or require all trucks to
maintain at least two feet of freeboard.
. Sweep daily (preferably with water sweepers) all paved access road, parking areas and
staging areas at construction sites.
· Sweep streets daily (preferably with water sweepers) if visible soil material is carried
onto adjacent public streets.
With the implementation of appropriate mitigation measures, impacts on sensitive receptors
related to construction emissions would be reduced to a less ~han significant level.
Impact
Operation. Development projects in the Bay Area are most likely to violate an air quality
standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation through
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District's BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines recommends
estimation of carbon monoxide concentrations for projects where Project traffic would iL-npact
intersections or roadway links operating at Level of Service D, E, or F or would cause Level of
Service to decline to D, E, or F; or where Project traffic would increase traffic volumes on
nearby roadways by 10 percent or more (if the increase is at least 100 vehicles per hour).
The proposed project would not generate any new trips and, therefore, the trip generation is
below the BAAQMD threshold trigger level for estimating carbon monoxide concentrations.
Considering that the proposed Project is in an attainment area for carbon monoxide (the state and
federal ambient standards are met) and that South San Francisco has relatively low background
levels of carbon monoxide compared to other parts of the Bay Area, the proposed Project could
not have a significant impact on local carbon monoxide concentrations. Therefore, Project
carbon monoxide impacts would be less than significant.
c) Cumulative Air Quality Effects
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project's impact would be significant if it would result in a
cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the Project region is
non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including
releasing emissions that exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors).
The Project would not generate new emissions through new regional vehicle trips. The
BAAQMD has developed criteria to determine if a development Project could result in
potentially significant regional emissions. The District has recommended that 2,000 daily
vehicle trips be used as a threshold for quantifying Project regional impacts. Net new daily trip
generation is below this threshold for quantification. Project emissions therefore would be below
the BAAQMD thresholds of significance for regional pollutants. Therefore, Project impacts on
regional air quality would be less than significant.
d) Exposure of Sensitive Receptors to Substantial Pollution Concentrations
The BAAQMD defines exposure of sensitive receptors to toxic air contaminants and risk of
accidental releases of acutely hazardous materials (ARMs) as potential adverse environmental
impacts. Examples of sensitive receptors include schools, hospitals, residential areas with
children, and convalescent facilities.
ImDact
medical clinics. The closest sensitive receptor is the Early Years Children's Center located at 371
Allerton Avenue, which is located roughly one mile west of the proposed Project. In addition to
the e::dsting childcare facility, the Britannia East Grand campus is approved for construction of
an 80-100 student childcare facility at the terminus of East Grand Avenue, roughly one-quarter
mile west of the bay trail. Genentech is planning to submit a Planning Application to construct a
500 student childcare facility on Allerton Avenue, roughly one mile west of the proposed proj ect.
Any Project occupant who would potentially release toxic air contaminant emissions would be
subject to rules, regulations and procedures of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
As part of its program to control toxic air contaminant emissions, the District has established
procedures for estimating the risk associated with exposure. The methods used are conservative,
meaning that the real risks from the source may be lower than the calculations, but it is unlikely
they will be higher.
In the first step of a two-step process, the District estimates how much of a contaminant would
be found in the air at a specific location. The estimate depends upon the type of source, its rate
of production and its location. The second step involves determining if the estimated amount of
contaminant is hazardous to those exposed to it. This determination includes an evaluation of
both carcinogenicity (tendency to cause cancer) and non-cancer health effects. Chelnical toxicity
is based on animal study results and in some instances, on the results of human exposure.
After a new Project's risk level is determined, a decision must be made as to the significance of
this risk level. If a new source has a cancer risk of one in a million or less over a 70-year-
lifetime exposure period, and will not result in non-cancer health effects, it is considered to be a
less than significant risk and no further review of all health impacts is required. If a project has a
risk greater than one in a million, it must be further evaluated in order to determine acceptability.
Factors that affect acceptability include the presence of controls on the rate of emissions, the
location of the site in relation to residential areas and schools, and contaminant reductions in
other media such as water.
In general, projects with risks greater than one in a million, but less than 10 in a million, are
approved if other determining factors are acceptable. In general, projects with risks greater than
10 in a million are not approved. Non-approved projects may be re-evaluated if emissions are
reduced, thereby reducing their risks.
District Regulation 2-1-412 provides for special noticing requirements prior to approval of toxic
air contaminant sources with one-quarter mile of a K-12 school. Since the Early Years
Children's Center is a childcare facility over one-quarter mile of the proposed Proiect site. the
permit review process for any future occupant of the Project, would ensure that any potential
impacts due to hazardous or toxic air contaminant emission would be reduced to a level of less
than significant at the closest sensitive receptor and other receptors closer to the Proj eet site.
e) Odors
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The BAAQMD defines public exposure to offensive odors as a
potentially significant impact. Potential odor impacts are based on a list of specific types of
facilities, such as wastewater treatment plants, landfills, refineries, etc.
During construction the various diesel-powered vehicles and equipment in use on the site would
create odors. These odors are temporary and not likely to be noticeable much beyond the Project

SettingS
The Bay Area Geotechnical Group (BAGG) prepared a geotechnical report for the proposed
project in July 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference. The purpose of the geotechnical
investigation is to evaluate the proposed grading for the Bay Trail by performing a geotechnical
investigation to provide general recommendations for the construction of the subject trail and the
associated improvements including retaining walls, placement of fills and backfills, and
construction of drainage control measures. BAGG evaluated the geotechnical conditions at the
site and developed appropriate criteria for the design, grading and construction of the proposed
bay trail, based on documents provided by Genentech (see bibliography) and the investigation
that was conducted on April 5, 2005. Responding to a request by the South San Francisco
Engineering Division, Cotton, Shires & Associates, Inc. prepared a Geotechnical Peer Review on
November 30, 20059. Copies of the full reports are available for review at the City of South San
Francisco Planning Division.

The subject trail will be a 12-foot-wide asphalt pathway, which will provide pedestrian access
along the east shoreline of the Genentech Campus. As indicated on the project drawings, the
southern limits of the pathway will be near the shoreline (beach) adjacent to the east=northeast
end of the Slough property, whereas the northern end of the pathway will be Buildings 1 and 4
parking lot (not elevated). The overall length of the trail will be approximately 2,150 feet. The
trail will be surfaced with 3 inches of asphaltic concrete underlain by 8 inches of Class 2
aggregate base. The upslope edge of the trail will contain a vegetated drainage swale and the
downslope edge will have a safety rail. As shown on the project plans, a 12-inch-diameter HDPE
storm drain some 3 to 4 feet in depth will be constructed beneath the swale extending from
Station 5+50 through 12+50. The north end of the new storm drain will be connected to the
existing 42-inch RCP at Station 5+50. The swale will contain periodic drop inlets to allow
surface runoff to flow into the storm drain pipe.
Background and Earlier Reports
In 2001 and 2002, the BAGG prepared two reports that identified several unstable areas on the
edge of the shoreline10. The top of the shoreline (the bluff area) has been modified by grading
from the construction of the Founders Research Center (FRC) II and the temporary parking lot
projects. Additionally, the grading proposed, particularly adjacent to FRC I and II projects will
create cuts upslope of the trial and place fill downslope of the trail upon the existing shoreline
slopes, which of necessity, must be properly keyed into the hillside if they are to remain stable.
The objective of the BAGG investigation was to review the proposed grading, perform a
geologic and geotechnical site reconnaissance to observe the existing conditions and the nature
of modifications that have occurred on the shoreline since our earlier studies, evaluate how the
proposed grading for the trail will impact the previously-identified unstable areas of the
shoreline, and evaluate the overall suitability of the proposed cuts and fills for the trail from a
geotechnical point of view by drilling a number of soil borings.
Vicinity Geology
The proposed Bayshore II Trail is situated at the top of the old shoreline of the San Francisco
Bay, which has been significantly modified by past grading. A geology map reviewed for this
study titled "Geology of the Onshore Part of San Mateo County, California," (Brabb, Graymer,
and Jones, USGS Digital OF98-137, 1998), indicates the upper terrace adjacent to and
immediately east of Point San Bruno Boulevard contains graywacke sandstone with interbedded
siltstone and shale constituting less than 20 percent of the unit. It further explains that in places,
the interbeds of shale and siltstone may be as much as several tens of meters thick and in many
places, shearing has obscured bedding relations. The map indicates the lower site terrace is
at the alignment of the subject trail, this geology map indicates artificial fill adjacent to Buildings
1 and 4 on the northern-most reach of the trail, sandstone and colluvium along the remaining
southern sections of the trail.
Seismicity
Active earthquake faults have not been recognized in the site area. Although the site and vicinity
is believed to be free of active faults, the San Francisco Bay Area is known to be within a
seismically active region. Many large historical earthquakes have occurred on active faults
associated with the regional stress field between the North American and Pacific tectonic plates.
The dominant fault in this area is the San Andreas fault, located approximately 7 kilometers (kin)
southwest of the site. Other active faults in the area, include the Seal Cove segment of the San
Gregorio fault located roughly 14 km to the west-southwest, and the Hayward fault located
approximately 24 km to the northeast.
Branches of the Hillside fault have also been mapped a very short distance southwest of the
subject trail site, and crossing the southwestern flank of Point San Bruno. The fault, which
extends northwesterly from the south side of Point San Bruno for about 7.4 kilometers across the
southern flank of San Bruno Mountain, generally separates coherent sandstone on the north from
the deformed rocks of Franciscan assemblage on the southwest. The fault zone varies in width
and has been identified by an intensely sheared band of sandstone and shale, commonly called
melange, containing exotic rocks such as serpentine and greenstone. Presently, there is no
evidence that this fault has been active within the geologically recent time; however, it may be
possible for sympathetic movements to be imposed on this fault as a result of stress from major
earthquakes on nearby faults, such as the San Andreas and Hayward faults. A regional fault map,
depicting the major faults in the Bay Area, is attached to the 2005 report.
Summary of BAGG Report Recommendations
Site grading will consist of cutting and filling of the existing slopes and flat stretches of the
pathway to accommodate the proposed maximum 5 percent surface gradient for the trail.
Grading of the trail alignment should follow the criteria summarized below and discussed in
detail in the Report.
Grading afTrail Adjacent to FRC L IL and Buildings 1 and 4 Parking Lot
The grades above the trail will generate cut slopes with a maximum gradient of 2: 1, and fill
slopes on the downhill side of the trail with the same gradient. While this grading scheme
has been completed.
Grading of Trail on FRC II Shoreline and Adjacent to TAlC property
The planned grading will steepen a portion of the hillside above the trail and below the FRC II
Emergency Access Road to 2:1, and will require the construction of a retaining wall. Keystone-
type walls with reinforcing geogrid layers as shown on the most recent project drawings are
acceptable for this purpose, provided the leveling pad is constructed upon fmn soils or re-
compacted materials. Other type of retaining walls, such as reinforced concrete walls are also
acceptable, provided they are supported on drilled piers.
The BAGG Report recommends that the planned swale at the toe of the retaining wall be lined
with asphalt or concrete to prevent filtration of the runoff into the retaining wall foundation soils
which may cause softening of the soils at the foundation level, and therefore settlement.
Additionally, because the existing slope gradient above the trail will be partially steepened to
2: 1, the planned erosion control measures on the regraded and cut slopes should be carried out as
soon as the construction sequence will permit.
Stripping and Clearing
The new construction areas should be stripped of vegetation, deleterious materials, and topsoil.
The stripped organic soils may be stockpiled for later use in landscaping areas or for off-site
disposal. During clearing, strip and remove bushes, trees, roots, organically-contaminated
topsoil, and debris from the site surface. Old utilities to be abandoned or rerouted, remnants of
old equipment pads and concrete foundations existing at or near the surface of the graded trail,
should be removed and the resulting depressions backfilled with compacted fill. When removing
trees, all root systems must be thoroughly removed and the depression backfilled with compacted
fill. The depth of stripping on the alignment of the trail is non-uniform and should be determined
in the field by the Geotechnical Engineer during construction.
Over-Excavation and Compaction
Compaction should be performed in accordance with ASTM Test Procedure DI 557. All over-
excavated surfaces should be scarified (ripped) to depths of 6 to 12 inches, moisture conditioned
by aeration if the soil is too wet, or by adding water if the soil is too dry, and properly compacted
to at least 90 percent relative compaction. Additionally, it will be necessary to recompact the
upper 12 inches of the trail sub grade over its entire length to a minimum of 95 percent of the
maximum dry density. All trail pavement components, including the aggregate base and
performed while at a moisture content that is at least 2 percent over optimum.
All fill and backfill should be placed in uniform lifts not exceeding 8 inches in loose thickness.
Depressions created during grading should be property backfilled with fill compacted as
specified above.
Rocks or cobbles larger than 4 inches in maximum dimensions should not be allowed to remain
in the soils forming the trail sub grade, unless they can be crushed in-place by the construction
equipment.
Criteria For Grading on Slopes
The maximum. cut and fill slope gradients should be limited to 2:1, as shown on the project
drawings, and flatter where possible. Appropriate keying and benching of the earth materials into
suitably firm soils must be performed on all such filling. Where fill shall be placed on a sloping
ground with a gradient steeper than 6: 1, all fill materials on such slopes should be placed on
horizontal surfaces in a compacted manner with appropriate surface and subsurface drainage. As
a minimum, a toe key must be constructed which is at least 10 feet wide and no less than 4 feet in
depth, provided the bottom of the keyway exposes firm materials. Otherwise, deeper and wider
keyways will be required. It is likely that vertical cuts of more than 4 or 5 feet may be
problematic. The keyway should preferably be located in as flat an area as possible. Above the
keyway, the material must be consecutively keyed into the slope in a compacted manner. A main
underdrain would likely be necessary and appropriately spaced finger drains may also be
required on the keyway and the benches above. These details are shown on Plate 8, Typical
Slope Construction Detail.
Fill Materials
Soils generated from the planned cuts will generally be suitable for use as structural fill or
backfill material, provided they contain no debris, organics, or rocks over 6 inches in size.
Material imported to the site, if necessary, should be essentially non-expansive in nature, have a
Plasticity Index less than 15, a minimum R-value of 20, and at least 20 percent but no more than
60 percent of its particles passing the No. 200 sieve. The imported material should be approved
by the Geotechnical Engineer before importation to the site.
The stripped pavement may be pulverized in a manner that at least 90 percent of its particles are
smaller than 1 inch, blended with the underlying aggregate base, and used as recycled aggregate
base beneath the pavements or elsewhere within the site. When strinning a~!QTegate hase and
value tests during construction.
Trench Backfill
Trench backfill materials and compaction should conform to the requirements of the applicable
agency. We recommend that the following be considered:
· Materials in trenches beneath pavements should be compacted by mechanical means to at
least 90 percent relative compaction, except within the upper 12 inches where 95 percent
compaction will be required, in addition to the required aggregate base beneath the
pavement. Compaction of the native clayey soils should be performed at a moisture
content that is at least 2 percent over optimum.
. Jetting should not be allowed.
. Native soil excavated from utility excavations is suitable for trench backfill, except where
the material. will serve for pipe bedding or drain material surrounding pipes. Pipe bedding
material should consist of sand or pea gravel.
Shoring and Allowable Temporary Excavation Slopes
Shoring of the vertical trench walls should conform to OSFIA requirements. Temporary shoring
for vertical excavations should be designed to withstand an active earth pressure equal to an
equivalent fluid pressure of 35 pcf. The trench spoils should not be placed closer than 5 feet from
the trench sidewalls, or one..:half the trench depth.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls should be designed to resist lateral earth pressures from adjoining fill materials.
Freestanding walls should be designed to resist active lateral pressures taken as an equivalent
fluid pressure of 45 pounds per cubic foot (pcf) for level backfill conditions. This pressure
should be increased by 4 pcf for every 5 degrees increase in the backfill slope up to a maximum
gradient of 2:1. Where applicable, the traffic surcharge from the adjacent FRC II Emergency
Access Road may be assumed to be equivalent to about 2 feet of soil as per the Caltrans
Trenching and Shoring Manual, which would be equivalent to a uniform pressure of 100 psf
acting on the full height of-each retaining wall.

· All leveling pads for mechanically stabilized earth walls should be placed upon firm soils
or recompacted fill materials. The impact of the sloping backfill above these walls and
the traffic loading from FRC II Emergency Access Road should also be considered in the
design of such walls.
· Reinforced concrete retaining walls should be supported on foundations designed in
accordance with the recommendations presented in the "Retaining Wall Foundations"
section of this report. The lateral earth pressures should be resisted by passive soil
pressures acting on the wall foundation as described under "Lateral Design."
· The above lateral pressures do not include any hydrostatic pressures resulting from
groundwater, seepage water, or infiltration of natural rainfall and/or irrigation water
behind the walls. Therefore all walls over 2 feet in height should be provided with a
drainage blanket behind the wall. The drainage blanket should consist of a pre-
manufactured drainage panel or a one-foot thick blanket of free-draining gravel or drain
rock protected by a suitable filter fabric. A 12-inch cap of relatively impermeable soil
should be compacted at the top of the drainage blanket to minimize infiltration of surface
water. A perforated pipe should be installed at the base of the drainage blanket to conduct
water away from the wall to a suitable outfall location.
· General backfill behind the walls, excluding drainage material, should conform to the fill
requirements given under "Site Grading" in the Report.
Retaining W all Foundations
Reinforced concrete walls should be supported on drilled piers. Drilled, cast-in place, reinforced
concrete piers should be a minimum of 16 inches in diameter, and derive skin friction support
from fum. native or fill soils. Such piers may be designed assuming an allowable skin friction
support of 500 pounds per square foot. Uplift loads should be limited to two-thirds of this value.
In addition, the indicated skin friction value for total design loads may be increased by one-third
when transient, downward loads, such as wind or seismic loads, are included. The drilled piers
should penetrate a minimum of 10 feet, as determined by the Geotechnical Engineer in the field.
Structural considerations may dictate deeper piers. Where very hard drilling is encountered at
shallow depth, pier termination should be determined by the Geotechnical Engineer in the field.
Design of the piers, reinforcement, depth, size, and spacing of the piers should be determined by
thp. ~tnl(~hlr::\l p.nmnp.p.T rp.~non~1hlp. for th? f()l1nr1~t;()n r1?Q;an A l;! ~ m;n;mnm thp ;t.,..;l1p;t n;pl'"C'
of any loose or disturbed bedrock material or cuttings before placement of reinforcing steel or
concrete. Groundwater will likely be present within the lower 5 or 6 feet of each pier. The
groundwater should be pumped out immediately before pouring concrete, or the concrete should
be tremied into the hole and placed from the bottom up.
Lateral Design
Lateral resistance may be obtained from passive earth pressures acting on the sides of foundation
members which have been poured in neat excavations. The allowable passive resistance to wind
or seismic loads can be taken as an equivalent fluid pressure of 300 pounds per cubic foot. The
passive pressure can be assumed to act over 1 1/2 times the diameter of isolated piers. For
resisting long-term loads, the passive resistance within the u~er 12 inches should be ignored
unless the toe of the wall is confirmed by pavement or concrete slab. In addition, all passive soil
pressures should be ignored where foundation members are less than 6 feet horizontally from the
face of the fill slope.
Pavement Design
All materials and construction procedures, including placement and compaction of pavement
components, should be performed in conformance with the latest edition of the Caltrans Standard
Specifications, except that compaction should be performed in accordance with ASTM Test
Method D1557, and at moisture contents specified herein.
All pavement components should be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density.
The upper 12 inches of the pavement area sub grades should also be compacted to at least 95
percent of the maximum dry density as previously described under Site Grading, and all over-
sized rocks and cobbles larger than 4 inches should be completely removed, unless they can be
crushed in place with the construction equipment.
Drainage and Erosion Control
Because of the susceptibility of the on-site materials to erosion and reduction in shear strength
when saturated, drainage Ineasures to control and collect surface run-off should be considered an
integral part of the proposed Shoreline II Trail. Drainage improvements, as shown, should as a
minimum include sloping of the trail surface toward the hillside to a swale and appropriate
collection of the runoff from the swale as planned via a storm drainage system with drop inlets.
F or an enhanced performance of the trail, consideration may be given to lining the entire length
of the swale with asphaltic concrete or concrete. As a minimum, the swale at the foot of any
the existing gullies. Or, at the option of the client and the design team, remedial grading can be
performed in this area to slope the top of the shoreline away from the slope. This will require
appropriate collection or direction of the runoff to the swale or appropriate collection points.
Furthermore, appropriate erosion control matting and planting should be carried out as planned
to protect the surface of all graded slopes against erosion by hydro seeding and/or placement of
erosion control matting.
Active seepage is present on the face of the slope below the FRC II Emergency Access Road.
The prudent control of drainage in this area will likely require construction of a sub drain on the
uphill edge of the trail, the exact location for which must be determined in the field by the
Geotechnical Engineer during construction as dictated by the actual site conditions. The sub drain
may be placed beneath and in the same trench as the proposed storm drain pipe, and must contain
a perforated drain pipe surrounded with gravel and all wrapped in a suitable filter fabric. Beneath
graded slopes, a main underdrain and appropriately spaced finger drains will be necessary on the
keyway and possibly on the benches above (also see Plate 8). Control of drainage in this area
will also be critical from a slope stability standpoint. Surface and subsurface drainage facilities
and catchment areas should be checked frequently and cleaned or maintained throughout the
project life, as necessary.
i) Surface Fault Rupture
Impacts
Threshold of Significance: The project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to expose people or structures to potential adverse effects associated with the surface rupture of a
known earthquake fault.
According to the Geotechnical Investigation, the hazard from fault rupture on the site is
considered to be very low. The Hillside fault is located nearby, but there is no evidence that this
fault has been active within geologically recent time. Therefore, the Project would have a less
than significant impact on exposing people or structures to danger from surface rupture of a
known earthquake fault.
ii) Strong Seismic Ground Shaking
Impacts
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects associated with strong
seismic ground shaking.
indicate the scenario earthquake listed for the entire San Andreas fault (1906-size earthquake)
would produce a "Violent" shaking intensity at the site, while the Peninsula Segments of the San
Andreas, or the San Gregorio fault, would produce a "Very Strong" shaking intensity at the site,
corresponding to a Modified Mercalli Intensity VIII. Table 2 in the 2005 report presents the
earthquake magnitudes, distance to various faults from the site, and the anticipated shaking
intensity as a result of the scenario earthquakes potentially affecting the site. The Modified
Mercalli Intensity Scale is presented in Table 3 in the 2005 report.
The San Francisco Bay region is emerging from the stress shadow of the 1906 San Francisco
earthquake and it is considered a certainty that one or more future large earthquakes will impact
the region during the normal design life of any proposed structure. Studies of earthquake
probabilities in the region indicate a 21 percent chance that an earthquake of Magnitude 6.7, or
greater, will occur by the year 2031 on the San Andreas fault. The odds that one or more such
events will strike somewhere within the entire San Francisco Bay region before 2031 increase to
62 percent, when all of the major, regional active faults are considered.
Stability of Shoreline Slope
The eastern shoreline of Genentech upon which the subject trail will be constructed, slopes down
to the bay at gradients varying from approximately 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) to nearly 11/3:1.
The southern reach of the trail beyond its sharp 90 degree turn to the east from the southeast end
of FRC II towards the future FRC III shoreline, contains the steepest slopes, whereas the
shoreline slopes east ofFRC I and II vary from 11'2: 1 to 2:1.N.
The "Map Showing Slope Stability During Earthquakes in San Mateo County, California"
(Wieczorek, Wilson, and Harp, 1985), indicates a "moderate" susceptibility for failure of the
subject slopes adjacent to FRC II as a result of shaking caused by earthquakes, and "very low"
potential for failure in the areas south and southwest of the FRC II project. This map of slope
stability during earthquakes in San Mateo County identifies potentially susceptible areas to
landsliding. Susceptibility is evaluated from a technique, which utilizes lithologic, hydrologic,
slope, and seismic data. Because the estimated susceptibility is based on limited data within each
geologic unit, the map is not adequate for determination of susceptibility at any specific site.
However, the map does delineate areas where the probability of landsliding during a major
earthquake is greatest and where special attention is required when considering general land-use
planning. A "moderate" susceptibility to slope failure and landsliding for example pertains to
approximately 15 percent of the slopes, whereas a "very low" susceptibility corresponds to less
than 3 percent of the shoreline to fail as a result of a major seismic event.
Stability of the Shoreline
of the shoreline. The slumps, or erosion gullies had encroached into the parking lot and
undermined the then existing curb. For safety measures, the 2001 report recommended closure of
the area to traffic and pedestrians.
Impacts
Impact VI-1a. Even though the development of the Project would not increase the number of
structures on the Genentech campus, the recreational emphasis of the Bay Trail could potentially
expose people to hazards associated with a major earthquake in the region. All structures,
including the retaining walls, are built with the knowledge that an earthquake could occur, and
are required to meet Uniform Building Code (UBC) standards for seismic safety. Conformance
with the latest UBC and the recommended mitigation measures of the Geotechnical Investigation
would ensure that the impact of seismic ground shaking is reduced to a level of less than
significant. This impact is considered to be potentially significant.
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation Measure VI-1a. Conformance with Geotechnical Report and the conditions of the
Peer Review. The design of the trail, grading and infrastructure shall comply with site specific
recommendations as provided by the project's geotechnical engineer. The results of the plan
review shall be summarized by the geotechnical consultant in a letter and submitted to the City
Engineer for review and approval prior to issuance of a grading permit.
Mitigation Measure VI.1b. The final site plan for the project shall be reviewed by the
appropriate regulatory agencies to ensure that the applicant has incorporated the
recommendations of the Geotechnical Report into the design and construction of the Project.
Mitigation Measure VI.1c. The geotechnical consultant shall inspect, test and approve all
geotechnical aspects of the project construction. The inspections shall include, but not
necessarily be limited to: site preparation and grading, site surface and subsurface drainage
improvements, keying, benching, and compaction testing of all project fill placement.
The results of these inspections and as-built conditions of the project shall be described by the
geotechnical consultant in a letter submitted to the City Engineer for review prior to final (as-
built) proj ect approval.
The above mitigation measures would reduce the potential impacts at the Project site to a level of
less than significant with mitigation
Impacts
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to expose people or structures to substantial adverse effects associated with seismic-related
ground failure, including liquidfaction.
Soil liquefaction is a phenomenon in which saturated (submerged) cohesionless soils can be
subject to a temporary loss of strength due to buildup of excess pore pressure, and reduction of
soil effective stress during cyclic loading, such as those produced by the earthquakes. In the
process, the soil acquires a mobility sufficient to permit both horizontal and vertical movements,
if not confirmed. Soils most susceptible to liquefaction are loose, clean, saturated, uniformly
graded, fme-grained sands. Silty sands may also be susceptible to liquefaction during strong
ground shaking, although to a lesser extent. However, provided that the bay mud thickness is no
more than 5 feet, ground failure beneath the ramp fills is unlikely.
The Geotechnical Investigation states that the proposed grading and location of the trail as shown
on the project drawings, appears to be feasible from a geotechnical standpoint, provided the
limitations stated in this report are considered with respect to the future performance of the trail,
and the recommendations presented are incorporated into the construction of the trail. This
impact is considered to be less than significant with mitigation.
Mitigation Measure
Mitigation Measure VI.2. Conformance with Geotechnical Report. The design of the trail
and infrastructure shall comply with site-specific recommendations as provided by the project's
geotechnical engineer. Specifically, the applicant shall comply with the BAGG Report and Peer
Review reporting requirements and recommendations regarding site grading, stripping and
clearing, compaction, criteria for grading on slopes and trench backfills.
This would reduce the potential impact at the Project site to a level of less than significant with
mitigation.
iv) Landslides
Impacts
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to expose people or structures to substantial hazards from landslides.
The Geotechnical Investigation notes that relatively weak fill soils and native deposits form the
shoreline slopes and an area on the southern portion of the shoreline has been identified to
on the project plans. The climatic and seismic factors that can cause large, damaging erosion
events and slope failures are generally random natural phenomena that are part of the active
coastal processes and can..llot be predicted. Nor is it possible to implement mitigation measures
that would totally negate the impacts of such events. Portions of the shoreline contain over-
steepened slopes and foreign features such as concrete rubble within fill and concrete pads and
foundations on the edge of the shoreline, which in some cases, have been covered with several
feet of fill. Any grading activity involving the removal of the old foundations and concrete pads
remaining from the former Marine Magnesium Plant operations must be carefully planned and
conducted to preclude failure and retreat of the shoreline slopes. Nevertheless, a shoreline retreat
study conducted by this office in 2002, which reviewed the aerial photography pertinent to the
site area dating back to the 1950's, concluded that the subject shoreline has undergone very little
change and retreat within the past 50 years.
Over the years, the poor drainage at the top of the shoreline filled with loose waste and rubble
fills has created erosion gullies with active slumps which has undermined the curb and pavement
in at least two locations with widths in the range of 15 to 20 feet, and will eventually spread to
larger areas if not properly mitigated. Saturation of the shoreline soils during winters with
intense rainfall renders the area susceptible to renewed movements and inland migration of the
older headwall scarps and erosion gullies.
According to the Geotechnical Investigation, the proposed inward-sloping of the surface of the
trail in this area to a swale will alleviate the poor drainage condition to a large extent. However,
erosion of the existing slumps and gullies by rainfall and storms will continue to occur, and the
drainage from the 6- to 13-foot-wide nearly flat area between the trail and the top of slope will
continue to flow to the potentially unstable shoreline slopes, likely enlarging the existing gullies.
Mitigation Measure
Mitigation Measure VI.3. Conformance with Geotechnical Report and Peer Review. The
structural design of the trail shall comply with site-specific recommendations as provided by the
project's geotechnical consultant and the conditions in the Peer Review. It will therefore be
necessary to implement additional erosion protections measures identified in the Report. Such
measure should include but are not limited to:
· Construction of a concrete or AC curb at the top of the. shoreline to completely intercept
and prevent the runoff reaching the erosion gullies filled with rubble, or remedial grading
of the area to completely slope away from the top of shoreline, particularly since the
existing pavement is to be removed,
· Placement of riprap within the erosion gullies, although this mayor may not be practical,
· In the extreme, if all of the above measures prove to be ineffective, construction of a pier-
supported retaining wall, or a tie-back shotcrete wall, or equivalent, to support the
shoreline and the trail above.
This would reduce the potential impact at the Project site to a level of less than significant with
mitigation.
b) Erosion or Loss of Topsoil
Impacts
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to result in substantial soil erosion or in the loss of topsoil.
Impact VIA. The BAGG Report states that the Project area contains relatively weak fill soils
and native deposits form the shoreline slopes and an area on the southern portion of the shoreline
has been identified to contain waste and rubble fill with active erosion gullies and soil slumps.
The future integrity of the shoreline greatly depends on drainage, climatic conditions, and
seismic events. The drainage factor can be controlled to a great extent by appropriately designed
containment and discharge of surface runoff, some of which will be implemented during the
construction of the trail as shown on the project plans. The climatic and seismic factors that can
cause large, damaging erosion events and slope failures are generally random natural phenomena
that are part of the. active coastal processes and cannot be predicted. Nor is it possible to
implement mitigation measures that would totally negate the impacts of such events.
Portions of the shoreline contain over-steepened slopes and foreign features such as concrete
rubble within fill and concrete pads and foundations on the edge of the shoreline, which in some
cases, have been covered with several feet of fill. Any grading activity involving the removal of
the old foundations and concrete pads remaining from the former Marine Magnesium Plant
operations must be carefully planned and conducted to preclude failure and retreat of the
shoreline slopes.
As described in the BAGG Report, the Project would potentially mcrease erOSIon during
construction. The impact is considered to be potentially significant.
Mitigation Measure
Mitigation Measure VI.4. It will be necessary that the applicant implements erosion protections
measures identified in the Geotechnical Report and submits the required letters, described in the
Peer Review. The grading of the trail shall comply with site-specific recommendations as
- - --.L- -.I ---- --- - -.L -- ---0 - - -~ --- --------
identified in the Peer Review.
The mitigation measure would reduce the impact to less than significant with mitigation.
c) Geologic Instability
Impacts
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if located
on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the
Project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence,
liquefaction or collapse.
The BAGG Report states that there is the potential of the site materials for liquefaction during
major earthquakes is considered to be relatively low along the trail. However, there is a
possibility that the unsaturated loose to medium dense gravels beneath the site may undergo
seismic compaction and settlement as a result of intense shaking caused by major earthquake
events. Because of the clay nature of the granular soils subject to densification, the consequence
of the seismically-induced compaction of the granular soils beneath the site will be minor.
The BAGG Report concludes that the proposed grading in the trail area at this location
consisting of cuts uphill of the trail and buttress fills on the downslope edge, and grading of the
surface of the trail towards the hillside, are expected to improve the stability of the overall
shoreline slopes and the performance of the trail at these locations. As such, with the proposed
grading, the Report indicates that the factors of safety against failure would be higher. Therefore,
the impact is considered to be less than significant.
d) Expansive Soils
Impacts
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if located
on expansive soil, creating substantial risks to life and property.
According to the Geotechnical Report, the Proj ect does not appear to be located on expansive
soil and would have no impact.
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it
involved construction of septic systems in soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of
septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems.
The Project does not propose to build any new septic tank or alternative waste disposal systems.
Therefore, the Project would have no impact on soils or septic systems.

Impact VIT.1. The Proposed project is located in an area zoned for packaging/manufacturing,
research and development and industrial uses. Even though the Project itself would not be
handling hazardous materials, the magnitude of the potential risk or upset to individuals using
the trail would be reduced to normally acceptable levels by compliance with applicable federal,
state and local laws and regulations.
Genentech operates under a permit from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control,
which regulates the use and disposal of toxic materials. Genentech also has a permit from the
California Department of Health Services for the use of radioactive material, which includes
existing Building 7. Hazardous materials use, storage, and disposal will be governed by the
following standards and permits:

with regards to hazardous waste would be potentially significant.
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation Measure VII.1. In order to ensure construction contractor safety, the applicant shall
prepare and submit a site Health and Safety Plan to the City Engineer prior to issuance of a

to create a significant hazard to the public or environmental through the routine transport, use, or
disposal of hazardous materials or if it were to create a significant hazard to the public or the
environment reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving release of hazardous
materials into the environment.
A portion of the Project site is located on the former Merck Maintenance Building site and a
drainage ravine for the former Marine Chemical Company (1921-1951), described above. The
Project area is not listed on the Department of Substance Control's Cortese List. The impact

Project would abide by the ALUC's height limit and would not result in a safety hazard for
people working at the Project site. This impact is considered to be less than significant.
g) Conflict with Emergency Response Plan or Emergency Evacuation Plan
Impacts
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to impair implementation of, or physically interfere with, an adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan.
There are no emergency response or evacuation plans in effect in the Project vicinity. Genentech
has constructed an emergency access route (as part of the approved plans for FRC II) adjacent to
FRC II and would be separated from the proposed Bay Trail. Therefore, the proposed Project
would have no impact on the implementation of any adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan.
h) Exposure of People or Structures to Wildland Fires
Impacts
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to expose people or structures to a significant risk or loss, injury or death involving wildland

a) Violation of Water Quality Standards or Waste Discharge Requirements
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to result in any violation of existing water quality standards or waste discharge requirements.
Provided that the company occupying the site adheres to existing waste discharge regulations,
the Proj ect would present no impact.
b) Deplete or Interfere Substantially with Groundwater
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it
substantially depletes groundwater supplies or interferes substantially with groundwater recharge
such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater
table level.
The proposed Project would be located in an urban area and would receive its water supply from
existing local infrastructure, thereby not depleting the local groundwater supply. The proposed
trail would be an impervious surface over the land that would to some degree impede recharging
of local groundwater. However, since groundwater resources are not used in the Project area,
this impact would be less than significant.
c) Alter Existing Drainage Patterns/Erosion and Siltation Effects
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site in a manner which would result in
substantial erosion or siltation.
It is not expected that the proposed Project would alter the existing drainage patterns of the site,
nor would increase the amount of surface runoff. The BAGG Report (refer to the description of
the proposed grading along the Bay Trail in Geology and Soils) indicates that the Project would
add new landscaping and grade the site in order to manage the drainage to the San Francisco
Bay, which would improve existing conditions along the shoreline area. Therefore, the Project is
considered to have a less than significant impact.

Impact VIII-1: Increased Erosion During Construction. The soils at the Project site may be
susceptible to erosion during construction activities when soils are disturbed. This represents a
potentially significant impact associated with the proposed Proj ect.
Mitigation Measure VIll-1: Erosion Control Measures. The applicant shall submit a Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and an Erosion Control Plan to the City Engineer
prior to the commencement of any grading or construction of the proposed Project. TheSWPPP
shall include storm water pollution control devices and filters to be installed to prevent pollutants
from entering the City's storm drain system and San Francisco Bay. The Plan shall be subject to
review and approval of the City Engineer and the City's Storm Water Coordinator.
The Project applicant shall be responsible for ensuring that all contractors are aware of all storm
water quality measures, and for the implementation of such measures. Failure to comply with
the approved construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) will result in the issuance of
correction notices, citations or a Project stop order.
Plans for the Project shall include erosion control measures to prevent soil, dirt and debris from
entering the storm drain system, in accordance with the regulations outlined in the Association of
Bay Area Governments Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook.
- . -- - - -0- --- .. ---- '"<. --~-.J
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to degrade water quality.
The proposed Project would not increase the amount of impervious surface area on the Project
site, since the site is already developed. Therefore, there would be no additional impact on
water quality from point source water pollution at the Project site.
g) Place Housing Within A 100- Year Flood Hazard Area
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to place any housing units within a designated IOO-year flood hazard area.
No impact would occur from placing housing within a IOO-year flood hazard area, since the
Proj ect does not entail the construction of any housing units.
h) Place Structures Which Would Impede or Redirect Flood Flows
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it
placed any structures in a manner, which would impede or redirect flood flows.
The Project site is not located in a 100-year flood hazard zonell and therefore would have no
impact related to the placement of a structure in such a way that it would impede or redirect
flood flows.
i) Expose People or Structures to Flooding Hazards

Setting and Background
On November 16, 2000, the City of South San Francisco Planning Commission approved Use
Permit UPOO-064 and Mitigated Negative Declaration MNDOO-064 to allow the construction of
the Founders Research Center II facility on the former Merck site in the Mid-campus area of the
Genentech campus. The Planning Commission Staff Report, which includes the Mitigated
Negative Declaration, addressed the need for the construction of the San Francisco Bay Trail
adjacent to the new research facility. The approved facility contained a loading area (Building
15) adjacent to the future Bay Trail. The Conditions of Approval contained a requirement that
the applicant prepare a noise study to determine if the loading area would have any negative
impact on the open space use.
Noise is generally defined as unwanted sound. Whether a sound is unwanted depends on when
and where it occurs, what the listener is doing when it occurs, characteristics of the sound
(loudness, pitch and duration, speech or music content, irregularity) and how intrusive it is above
background sound levels. In determining the daily level of environmental noise, it is important
to account for the difference in response of people to daytime and nighttime noises. During
nighttime, exterior background noises are generally lower than daytime levels. However, most
household noise also decreases at night and exterior noise becomes more noticeable. Further,
most people sleep at night and are very sensitive to noise intrusion.
Residential and open space recreational uses are generally considered to be noise-sensitive uses
or sensitive receptors. The Bay Trail is a sensitive receptor in the site vicinity.
In the East of 101 Area, The East of 101 Area Plan establishes several policies regulating noise
levels near sensitive receptors. Policy NO-4 states the following: ''New development shall be
designed so that the average noise level resulting from the new development does not exceed Leq
of 60 dBA at the nearest open space or recreation area."
The South San Francisco Noise Ordinance (Chapter 8.32, Section 8.32.050) restricts construction
activities to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekdays, 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on
Saturdays, and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays and holidays. This ordinance also limits

Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to result in exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established
in the City of South San Francisco East of 101 Area Plan or the City' s Noise Ordinance.
Impact XI-1. Construction Related Noise. During site preparation and construction at the
Proj ect site, operation of heavy equipment could result in a substantial temporary increase in
ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the Project site. Project construction would result in
temporary short-term noise increases due to the operation of heavy equipment. This would be a
potentially significant impact associated with Project development. Construction noise sources
range from about 82 to 90 dBA at 25 feet for most types of construction equipment, and slightly
higher levels of about 94 to 97 dBA at 25 feet for certain types of earthmoving and impact
equipment.

Mitigation Measure XI-1. Limitation of Construction Hours/Noise Abatement. There are no
existing noise-sensitive receptors in the Project vicinity that would be affected by Project-
generated construction noise. Assuming construction noise levels comply with the required noise
limit and hourly restrictions specified in the City Noise Ordinance, construction-related noise
impacts could be reduced to a level of less than significant with mitigation.
Impact
Impact Xl-2. Operational Noise. The portion of the Project site is located adjacent to several
existing facilities on the Genentech campus, including the Founders Research Center II,
Buildings 1 and 4 and the temporary parking area south of FRC II. The East of 101 Area Plan
contains Policy NO-4, which states the following:
"N ew Development shall be designed so that the average noise level resulting from new
development does not exceed an Leq of 60 dBA at the nearest open space or recreation area."
The Mitigated Negative Declaration for Founders Research Center II contains Mitigation
Measure X1.a, which requires the applicant to conduct a noise analysis to determine the
project's (FRC II) potential impacts on the open space area and comply with the East of 101
Area Plan Noise policies12. Genentech prepared a noise . study that evaluated the potential noise
impact from the generator located in the FRC II loading area (Building 15, which is unoccupied).
As the proposed Bay Trail will be located adjacent to several sites that may generate noise that
mav exceed an Lp.n of 60 dBA. Therefore~ the noise impact from existing operations noted above
AfiugauonAfeasure
Mitigation Measure XI-2. The applicant shall prepare a noise analysis that measures the noise
impact to the future Bay Trail from all operations on the Genentech campus. The noise study
shall include, but not be limited to the following: 1) determine the potential noise level from all
source points along the trail (FRC II loading area, Buildings 1 and 4, and the temporary parking
lot); 2) the study shall test all generators and mechanical areas adjacent to the future bay trail;
and, 3) the study shall include ambient noise sources. The report shall be submitted to the City
Engineer for approval prior to approval of a grading permit. If the impact is not in compliance
with the East of 101 Area Plan, the applicant shall install noise mitigation features, subject to
approval of the City Engineer and Chief Planner. Implementation of the above mitigation
measure would reduce the impact on the Proj ect to be less than significant.
b - f) Exposure of Persons to or Generation of Excessive Groundborne Noise Levels, a
Substantial Temporary or Permanent Increase in Ambient Noise Levels in the Project
Vicinity above Existing Without the Project, and Location in Vicinity of a Public
Airport or Private Airstrip
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
located within an airport land use plan (or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two
miles of a public airport or public use airport) if it would expose people residing or working in
the Project area to excessive noise levels, or if it were located within the vicinity of a private
airstrip, if it would expose people residing or working in the Project area to excessive noise
levels.
The 1999 General Plan Noise Element contains existing and future (2006) airport noise contours
associated with San Francisco International Airport, located south of the site. These contours
indicate the Project site is located outside the 65-dBA (CNEL) existing and future airport noise
contours. Projected contours for road and railroad noise are also included in the Noise Element.
These contours indicate that the Project site is located in an area where noise levels generated by
major road and railroad noise sources will continue to be less than 60 dBA (CNEL). Based on the
City's land use criteria, the proposed Project's research and development type land use would be
compatible with future noise level projections in the Project vicinity of less than 60 to 65 dBA
(CNEL), thereby representing no impact.

XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING - Would the
Project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an [ [ ] [ [ X]
area, either directly (for example, by
proposing new homes and businesses) or
indirectly (for example, through extension
of roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing [ ] [ [ ] [ X]
housing, necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, [ ] [ ] [ ] [ X]
necessitating the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere?
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to induce substantial population growth, or if it were to result in the displacement of substantial
numbers of existing housing units, or in the displacement of substantial numbers of people living
at the Project site.
The proposed Project would not entail the extension of infrastructure that could support
additional residential or commercial development. It would not involve the construction of any
new housing, and would not require the displacement of any existing residential units or persons
living on-site. Therefore, the Project would have no impact on population and housing in the
area.

facilities. the construction of which mi!Zht have adverse nhvsical effects on the envlTonment_
Francisco recognizes the importance of providing recreational facilities for people in the East of
101 Area. Recreational areas along the shoreline nearby currently include the Bay Front Trail
(Phase 1), Oyster Point Marina, Materials Recovery Facility, and Colma Creek, which are easily
accessible to the public. The Project is a recreational amenity that is consistent with the policies
of the 1999 South San Francisco General Plan and would enhance the visitor's experience along
the San Francisco Bay.
The Project, therefore, would have a less than significant impact on parks or recreational
facilities since the applicant will construct and maintain the public open space.

XV. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC - Would the
Project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is [ ] [ ] [ ] [ X]
substantial in relation to the existing traffic
load and capacity of the street system (i.e.,
result in a substantial increase in either the
number of vehicle trips, the volume to
capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at
intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, [ ] [ [ ] [ X]
a level of service standard established by the
county congestion management agency for
designated roads or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, [ ] [ [ ] [ X]
including either an increase in traffic levels
or a change in location that results in
substantial safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a [ ] ] [ [ X]
design feature (e.g., sharp curves or
dangerous intersections) or incompatible
uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access? [ ] [ ] [ [ X]
f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? [ ] [ X] [ [ ]
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or [ ] [ ] [ [ X]
programs supporting alternative
transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle

Standard to be Exceeded, Alter Air Traffic Patterns, Hazards Due to Design Features or
Incompatible Uses, and Emergency Access
Impacts
Thresholds of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to result in an increase in traffic in relation to existing traffic load and street system capacity,
direct or cumulative increase in traffic which causes a Congestion Management Agency standard
to be exceeded, alter air traffic patterns, increase hazards due to design features or incompatible
uses, and a loss in emergency access.
The San Francisco Bay Trail was previously assessed in the 1999 San Francisco General Plan
Environmental Impact Report. The General Plan EIR indicates that the Bay Trail is a recreation
amenity designed to attract South San Francisco residents and employees to the shoreline area.
Since the Project is a recreational amenity that would not generate new trips during the
established peak hours, would not impact the level of service on streets in the East of 101 area,
would not result in a change in air traffic patterns, has been designed to current ADA standards
and, thus, does not create any hazards, and does not impact the adjacent emergency access routes
on the Genentech campus. The Project is considered to have no impact.
f) Parking
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant effect if it would result in an
inadequate amount of parking being available.
Impacts
Impact XV -1. Currently, the applicant maintains approximately 15 public parking spaces at
Point San Bruno on the Genentech campus that are specifically designated for Bay Trail users.
The applicant does not propose to install any new public parking spaces to serve the Bay Trail
extension.
The applicant has indicated that the public can access the Project site from the existing public
parking area located on the north side of the Project area at Point San Bruno and future public
parking spaces located on another property (owned by Slough Estates) south of the Project site.
Genentech maintains a temporary parking lot for employees only at Point San Bruno Knoll (the
highest point along the proposed Project site). However, the applicant does not propose to allow
the public to use the temporary parking area or to add any additional public parking spaces along
the Bay Trail extension. The South San Francisco Municipal Code does not prescribe a specific
number of parking spaces that should be reserved for public access. Generally the Bay
Mitigation Measure
Mitigation Measure XV-I. Prior to approval of a grading permit, the applicant shall submit
updated plans to the City following approval of the BCDC permit. The revised plans shall
indicate the specific locations for the existing public parking, show the location for the existing
temporary parking lot on the plans, and if determined by BCDC, show the locations and number
of additional public parking spaces on the Genentech campus
Implementation of the above mitigation measure would reduce the impact on the Project to be
less than significant.
g) Alternative Transportation
Impacts
Threshold of Significance: The project would have a significant effect if it were to conflict with
adopted policies, plans or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts,
bicycle racks).
The employees at the Project would be expected to utilize Genentech's existing shuttle system or
walk to reach the site. The project would have no impact.

Setting
Utility requirements resulting from Genentech buildout were previously assessed in the
Genentech Negative Declaration, the East of 101 Area Plan EIR and the 1999 General Plan EIR.
The Genentech Master Plan includes a utilities study prepared by Genentech and consulting
engineers. The expansion plans presented in the Master Plan assume continued expansion of
product research and development, manufacturing and office uses on the campus. The growth
projections also take into consideration estimated water and sewage usage projected to 2010.
a - b) Regional Wastewater Treatment Standards, Water and Wastewater Treatment
Facilities
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control
Board. The Project may have a significant environmental impact if it were to require the
construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities.
The Project would have no impact related to an exceedance of wastewater treatment
requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The proposed project is not projected
to increase the overall wastewater treatment and/or disposal capacity of the City's wastewater
treatment plant. Localized wastewater collection facilities will be increased in size to replace
existing failing facilities and to accommodate proposed expansion of local businesses in accord
with the 1999 General Plan.
lmpact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or in the expansion
of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects.
The Project would have no impact related to the construction or expansion of storm water
drainage facilities, since the proposed Project would be implemented at an already built out site
connected to storm water drainage infrastructure.
d) Water Supply
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to require additional water supply beyond that available from existing entitlements and
resources.
The Project would utilize existing water entitlements and resources, having no impact on other
water resources.
e) Wastewater Treatment Facility Capacity
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which may serve the Project
that it has inadequate capacity to serve the Project's projected demand in addition to the
provider's existing commitments.
The Project would place a no impact demand on the area's wastewater treatment provider and
would not prevent it from fulfilling its existing commitments.
f) Solid Waste Disposal Capacity
Impact
Threshold of Significance: The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it were
to be served by a landfill with inadequate permitted capacity to accommodate the Project's solid
waste disposal needs.
Construction and operation of the proposed Project would not generate any amount of solid

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission accept this report as fulfillment of Condition of

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:
In April 2005 the Planning Commission approved a use permit to establish a cheerleading gym within a
vacant 2,550 SF warehouse space in the South Spruce Business Park at 434 No. Canal Street., with a
requirement for a six-month review of operations. The business license was issued in May 2005. Since
that time there have been no complaints or concerns about the operations at the site. Staff therefore
recommends no further action with regard to the condition.
