Report regarding making findings and determining that the vacation of a portion of Cypress Avenue in relation
to the Firehouse Work and Firehouse Live projects located at 201 Baden Avenue in the Downtown Transit Core
(DTC)Zoning District is in conformity with the South San Francisco adopted General Plan in accordance with
provisions of State Planning Law (Govt. Code Section 65402).(Stephanie Skangos, Associate Planner)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine,by motion,that the vacation of a portion of
Cypress Avenue in relation to the Firehouse Work and Firehouse Live projects located at 201 Baden Avenue is
in conformity with the South San Francisco adopted General Plan in accordance with provisions of State
Planning Law (Govt. Code Section 65402).
MOTION FOR THE COMMISSION TO ADOPT STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
(1) Move to find the proposed vacation is consistent with the South San Francisco adopted General Plan.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION
Site Overview
The project site,currently owned by the City,is located at 201 Baden Avenue in the Downtown Transit Core
(DTC)sub-district of the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan (DSASP)District.The site consists of three
parcels (APNs 012-335-100 and 012-335-110,with the third not possessing an APN),and a portion of the
Cypress Avenue public right-of-way bisects the property.There is an existing retired firehouse and surface
parking lot on the site.
As part of a larger proposal for the site,which includes the retention of the existing firehouse for commercial
purposes on one half of the site (Firehouse Work)and the development of housing on the second half of the site
(Firehouse Live),the project site will be reconfigured and a portion of Cypress Avenue will be vacated.As
such,a Lot Line Adjustment and Street Vacation would be required for the overall project to develop this site.It
should be noted that the Firehouse Work component of the project is currently moving forward and is
separately being considered by the Planning Commission at its November 3 meeting.
The Street Vacation involves vacating a portion of Cypress Avenue that bisects the property and extends from
Baden Avenue to Second Lane.This portion of Cypress Avenue has not been used as a public right-of-way and
is already developed with the existing firehouse and surface parking lot (Attachment 1).
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
In accordance with provisions of State Planning Law (Govt.Code Section 65402),prior to disposition of real
property and vacation of a public right-of-way,the Planning Commission as the planning agency for the City is
required to find such street vacation is in conformity with the adopted general plan.On September 16,2021,the
Planning Commission determined that the disposition of two City of South San Francisco-owned properties
located at 201 Baden Avenue (APN 012-335-100 and APN 012-335-110)in the Downtown Transit Core for the
purposes of the overall project and site development is in conformity with the South San Francisco adopted

General Plan.
The General Plan Land Use Designation for the 201 Baden Avenue property is Downtown Transit Core,which
includes specific policies related to development within the Downtown in an effort to “Promote infill
development,intensification,and reuse of currently underutilized sites”.The proposed vacation of the portion
of Cypress Avenue that bisects the subject property will allow for the completion of entitlements for a larger
project that will include activating an underutilized site and promoting infill development,as well as providing
a mix of new housing and commercial opportunities that will still be compatible in scale with the Downtown
district and conform to the General Plan Land Use Policies.The proposed vacation will allow the Firehouse
Work and Firehouse Live projects in furtherance of these goals.Therefore,the proposed vacation is consistent
with the General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed street vacation is necessary for the proposed restoration of the Firehouse for commercial
purposes and the development of a fully-affordable (82 unit housing project)with ground floor commercial.
The Firehouse Work and Firehouse Live projects are subject to separate CEQA analysis as part of the respective
projects.The current request to the Planning Commission is to make a finding of the consistency with respect to
the Cypress Avenue street vacation to the General Plan.Therefore,no CEQA action is required by the Planning
Commission at this time.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission make findings that determines that the vacation of a portion
of Cypress Avenue in relation to the Firehouse Work and Firehouse Live projects located at 201 Baden Avenue,
in the Downtown Transit Core Zoning District,is in conformity with the South San Francisco adopted General
Plan in accordance with provisions of State Planning Law (Govt. Code Section 65402).

MOTION FOR THE COMMISSION TO ADOPT STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
(1) Move to make CEQA determination and approve project subject to attached findings and conditions.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION
This item was continued from the October 6, 2022 public hearing to the November 3, 2022 meeting.
Site Overview
The project site is located at 201 Baden Avenue in the Downtown Transit Core (DTC)sub-district of the
Downtown Station Area Specific Plan (DSASP)District.The site is a through lot extending from Baden
Avenue to Second Lane and is located mid-block between Linden Avenue and Airport Boulevard.The project
site,currently owned by the City,is approximately 22,460 square feet (0.51 acres)and consists of three parcels
(APNs 012-335-100 and 012-335-110,with the third not possessing an APN).There is an existing retired
firehouse and surface parking lot on the site.
Proposal
The applicant is proposing to repurpose the retired firehouse into office space and potential commercial space.
The project includes:1)exterior modifications including painting,replacement of existing doors and windows,
and signage;2)interior tenant improvements to create a multi-tenant office space with shared facilities;and 3)
associated site work for landscaping, pathways and surface parking.
This project is part of a larger proposal for the site.In September 2017,the City of South San Francisco issued
a Request for Qualifications (RFQ)to create a high quality,mixed-use,transit-oriented development on the
project site.Ultimately,a developer team that proposed to retain the existing firehouse for commercial purposes
on one half of the site and develop housing on the second half of the site was selected -Firehouse Work LLC
(the applicant).

File #:22-863 Agenda Date:11/3/2022
Version:1 Item #:3.
The City has been negotiating the disposition of the project site with the applicant since August 2018.During
this time,the applicant has worked with various housing partners to fulfill the housing aspect of their proposal,
as submitted in response to the City’s Request for Proposals (RFP).
The applicant is moving forward with the Firehouse Work component of the overall project,and the Firehouse
Live (or residential)component will continue to be negotiated with the relevant parties and processed for
entitlements at a future date.As part of the completion of this initial component,the project site will be
reconfigured into two parcels,and a Vacation and Lot Line Adjustment will be processed through the
Engineering Division.A Parcel Map for the Vacation and Lot Line Adjustment has already been reviewed and
will move forward to City Council approval after Planning entitlements have been approved.
Historic Resource Evaluation
A Historic Resource Evaluation (HRE)was prepared for the project site to determine the historic significance,
if any,of the existing firehouse due to its age (Attachment 3).The building was constructed in 1949 as the
location of South San Francisco Fire Department’s Central Station.Designed by architect William Henry Rowe,
the subject building served as the City’s first purpose-built fire station between 1949 and 2006,when it was
vacated, and fire operations were relocated to a newly constructed station.
The HRE evaluated the building based on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR)criteria for
historic significance,as well as the City’s criteria for designation of historic resources found in South San
Francisco Municipal Code (SSFMC Chapter 2.56 (Planning Commission)).The subject building appears to be
individually eligible for listing in the CRHR under two of the four criteria for historic significance and also
appears to qualify under several evaluative criteria for local historic listing under the SSFMC.
At this time,the City has not opted to undergo the application process to designate the structure as a historic
resource.The structure is also not listed in the CRHR at this time.However,because the HRE concluded that
the existing firehouse appears to be individually eligible for listing in the CRHR,the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines generally requires the City,as the project’s lead agency,to treat the structure as
a historically significant resource (Pub.Res.Code Section 5024.1;CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5(3)-(4)).
In order to confirm that the proposed alterations to the structure included in the project would not have a
significant impact on the historic integrity of the resource,a Standards Compliance Review to provide guidance
on the compliance of proposed alterations to the structure with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for
Rehabilitation (SOI Standards)(codified at 36 C.F.R 68)was prepared as a supplement to the HRE (Attachment
4).The SOI Standards are a series of administrative regulations that provide guidance on,among other things,
the protection of historic building materials and character-defining features as a historic building or resource is
altered to meet continuing or new uses while retaining the building’s historic character.Compliance with these
guidelines would preserve a historic resource instead of creating a significant adverse effect upon its features
and characteristics.
The Standards Compliance Review analyzed the proposal against 10 key elements listed by the SOI Standards
that should be considered when new uses or architectural modifications are undertaken within historic resources
and determined that the proposed alterations are compliant with seven of the 10 key elements and marginally
compliant with three of the 10.A compliant rating indicates that the alteration has little or no impact on the
resource.A marginally compliant rating indicates that the overall historical significance of the resources is not
impacted enough to warrant re-evaluation, but modifications to the proposed design are strongly recommended.
The Standards Compliance Review concludes that the proposed project is compliant overall with the SOI

File #:22-863 Agenda Date:11/3/2022
Version:1 Item #:3.
The Standards Compliance Review concludes that the proposed project is compliant overall with the SOI
Standards.Overall compliance is not necessarily a direct sum of the level of compliance with each individual
standard.However,that information is weighed with the overall impact on both the design and historical
significance of the resource.Depending on the reasons for significance and the level of importance of the
resource,different levels of overall compliance may result.The majority of character-defining features and
most of the remaining historic steel windows would be retained by the proposed project.For those elements
with a marginally compliant rating,inclusion of a minor modification is suggested to decrease the impact on the
historic resource and raise its proposed design into more compliance with the SOI Standards.The suggested
modification is listed below related to infill of three steel windows and included as a recommended Condition
of Approval in Attachment 1 with slight modifications to language as necessary.It should be noted that the
report conservatively assumes the infill of these windows as a possibility for the project.
Proposed Infill of Steel Windows
The proposed infill of the three historic steel windows next to the proposed trash enclosure
should be avoided if possible.It is unclear if this would be needed due to structural or aesthetic
purposes.If based on structural issues,this should be noted,and the proposed infill of the three
windows in question should be indicated on the final drawing set.If solely based on aesthetic reasons,
the necessity for infill should be re-evaluated and reconsidered by the architect so that the building
might retain as many historic windows as possible.
ZONING CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS
Proposed Use
The project site is located in the Downtown Transit Core (DTC)sub-district of the Downtown Station Area
Specific Plan (DSASP)District.Per SSFMC Section 20.280.003 (Land Use Regulations-Downtown Station
Area Specific Plan Sub-Districts),office uses are allowed by-right,and a variety of commercial uses are
allowed,either by-right or with the approval of a Use Permit.At this time,the three new tenant spaces are
proposed for office use with the potential for one tenant space to possibly be used for retail.A condition of
approval has been recommended that requires that any potential commercial use for the one tenant space to be
evaluated for zoning consistency during the business license process and/or building permit process for interior
tenant improvements.
Design Review
The project includes the renovation and exterior modification of the existing firehouse.Exterior modifications
include new paint,the replacement of overhead doors with storefront windows and doors,and the infilling of
some doors and windows.Additional site work,including new landscaping,pathways and a surface parking lot,
as well as the expansion of the existing sidewalk along Baden Avenue,are also proposed.The exterior
modifications present an improvement over the present conditions and is compatible with the design guidelines
for the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan, as well as current development standards.
Parking Reduction Request and TDM Plan
The conversion of the existing firehouse into new office tenant spaces requires a reevaluation of required
parking for the site.Pursuant to SSFMC Section 20.330.007 (Required On-Site Parking Spaces,Downtown
Districts),a total of 29 parking spaces is required,using the required parking ratio for business and professional
office use.If one of the tenant spaces will be used for commercial use,the total number of parking spaces
required decreases to 25.The parking ratio for retail use is the same as the ratio for business and professional

use, but no parking is required for the first 1,500 square feet of floor area for retail sales.
A new surface parking lot containing five parking spaces with access from Second Lane is proposed,which is
24 spaces less than what is required.As mentioned above,this proposal is part of a larger project for the site
that includes the reconfiguration of the parcels that make up the project site,and this proposal will be located
on a parcel of its own.The new configuration for this parcel will cause the existing building to take up a
majority of the site, creating limited opportunity to provide additional parking spaces on-site.
Pursuant to SSFMC Section 20.330.006,applicants may obtain a parking reduction for any use through
applying for a Conditional Use Permit,which the Planning Commission would review and may only grant such
permit if it finds that:(a)special conditions-including but not limited to the nature of the proposed operation;
proximity to frequent transit service;transportation characteristics of persons residing,working,or visiting the
site;or because the applicant has undertaken a transportation demand management program-exist that will
reduce parking demand at the site;(b)use will adequately be served by the proposed on-site parking;and (c)
parking demand generated by the project will not exceed the capacity of or have a detrimental impact on the
supply of on-street parking in the surrounding area.
In support of the parking reduction request,the applicant has voluntarily proposed a draft Transportation
Demand Management (TDM)plan (Attachment 4).Pursuant to SSFMC Chapter 20.400 (Transportation
Demand Management),a TDM plan is required for all nonresidential development expected to generate 100 or
more average daily trips,based on the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE)trip generation rates.A trip
generation analysis was prepared for the project and determined that the project would not generate more than
100 daily trips.Therefore,this project would otherwise not require the implementation of a TDM plan,but one
has been submitted to help relieve parking demand and support a reduction in on-site parking spaces.
The draft TDM plan provides a concise description of TDM Measures that the project will implement in order
to comply with the DSASP’s goal to “provide for a balanced mix of travel modes -including pedestrians,
bicyclists, transit and automobiles.”
The location of the project site within the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan (DSASP)area,which
promotes pedestrian and bicycle travel in a high-density area of complementary land uses,and within a ¼-mile
radius of the Caltrain Station and four SamTrans bus routes,which promotes use of alternate modes of
transportation,will help reduce the parking demand at the project site.The adjacent proximity of the Caltrain
plaza and station,as well as four SamTrans bus routes and retail and amenity uses in Downtown,will promote
opportunities for office employees to walk or use public transportation and reduce dependency on single-
occupancy vehicles.Additionally,the installation of eight long-term bicycle parking spaces within the
renovated building will promote alternative modes of transportation.For those employees opting for vehicular
use,the project site is located within proximity to several existing Downtown parking garages that will
adequately serve their needs.
Due to the project’s transit-oriented location,implementation of the measures outlined in the draft TDM plan,
and availability of public parking in the surrounding area,staff supports the request for a parking reduction
from 29 to five parking spaces.Further,a Condition of Approval for project entitlements will be included to
ensure TDM compliance.
It is worth noting that effective January 1,2023,most projects within ½mile of a major transit station such as
SSF Caltrain will be exempt from Parking Minimums by State Law.Consideration of parking reductions like

this in the areas of the City close to SSF BART,SSF Caltrain,the El Camino Real Corridor and near SamTrans
high volume service will not be subject to local decision.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS
The proposed project is consistent with the City’s General Plan,which designates the site as Downtown Transit
Core (DTC).This land use designation is envisioned to be a vibrant,mixed-use area,and due to its proximity to
the Caltrain Station,this area is suitable for higher intensities to support transit ridership.The project includes
repurposing a vacant,unused building into new office tenant space,which revitalizes and activates the area,
meeting the intent of the adopted General Plan designation.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
The project was reviewed by the Design Review Board (DRB)on April 19,2022.The DRB had a positive
reception to the design concept and liked the re-use of the retired firehouse.Additionally,the DRB commented
that the exterior modifications are an improvement to the project site.The DRB supported the design and
recommended approval to the Planning Commission with minor comments,most of which have already been
incorporated into the project plans (see Attachments 2 and 5).A Condition of Approval for any DRB comments
that have not been addressed has been included in the draft Conditions of Approval found in Attachment 1.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
It is staff’s assessment that the proposed project is categorically exempt under the provisions of CEQA,Class 1,
Section 15301,Existing Facilities.The project site is an existing developed property surrounded by existing
commercial buildings.The proposal includes minor exterior modifications to renovate the exterior of the
building and interior improvements to create new tenant spaces.As noted in the Discussion section above,the
existing firehouse is potentially eligible but not included on any historic resources list,but the proposed project
nonetheless is overall consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of historic
properties, and thus would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
CONCLUSION
The project,as conditioned,is compliant with the City’s Municipal Code,General Plan,Zoning Development
Standards and Design Criteria.Therefore,staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that the
proposed Conditional Use Permit (UP22-0002),Design Review (DR22-0006),and Transportation Demand
Management Plan (TDM22-0001)for the repurposing of the old Firehouse into commercial and office space
and a Parking Reduction is categorically exempt under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA),Class 1,Section 15301,Existing Facilities,and approve the Conditional Use Permit,Design
Review,and Transportation Demand Management Plan based on the attached Draft Findings and subject to the
attached Draft Conditions of Approval.

1. Use Permit (Parking Reduction)
A. The location of the project site within the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan (DSASP)
area, which promotes pedestrian and bicycle travel in a high-density area of complementary
land uses, and within a ¼-mile radius of the Caltrain Station and four SamTrans bus routes,
which promotes use of alternate modes of transportation, will help reduce the parking
demand at the project site. Additionally, the applicant will implement a Transportation
Demand Management Plan that will include design features, programs, and services that
promote sustainable modes of transportation and reduce the roadway and parking demand
that would be generated by the project;
B. The use will adequately be served by existing parking on-site and surrounding parking in
seven Downtown parking garages. Additional parking on-site is not feasible and, like most
existing structures in the Downtown area, there is no ability to add additional on-site
parking; and
C. Based on the proposed uses and improvements described, parking demand generated by
the project will not exceed the capacity of or have a detrimental impact on the supply of
on-street parking in the surrounding area in that the surrounding area has available capacity
to accommodate excess parking as needed. Furthermore, the applicant will implement a
Transportation Demand Management Plan that will include design features, programs, and
services that promote sustainable modes of transportation and reduce the parking demand
that would be generated by the project.

1/16" = 1'-0"1 CO- CODE PLAN
1. EXISTING 8” CONCRETE WALL CONSTRUCTION WITH THREE (3) PUNCHED OPENINGS FOR WINDOWS.
Proposed property line: 3’-2” from face of existing building
Per CBC Table 602, an FSD of less than 5’-0” for Type V-B construction requires a 1-hour exterior wall.
Per CBC Table 722.2.1.1, the max required thickness for 1-hr rating for a solid concrete wall is 3.5”.Per the same table, the 8” concrete wall
is 4-hr rated.
Per CBC Table 705.8, an unprotected, sprinklered wall with a FSD greater than 3’-0” but less than 5’-0”is allowed to have no more than 15%
openings per floor.
The existing wall is approximately 29% open. The proposed plan is to infill two of the three existing exterior openings with 1-hr rated
walls. The remaining single opening will represent 9.7% of the wall area, which complies with Table 705.8.
No accessible path of travel is anticipated along this side of building. An accessible exterior travel from Baden will occur along the west side
of the building.
2.EXISTING 8” CONCRETE WALL CONSTRUCTION WITH FOUR (4) PUNCHED OPENINGS FOR WINDOWS, PLUS AN EXTERIOR
DOOR.
Proposed property line: 10’-2” from face of existing building
Per CBC Table 602, an FSD greater than 10’-0” for Type V-B construction requires a 0-hour exterior wall.
Per CBC Table 722.2.1.1, the max required thickness for 1-hr rating for a solid concrete wall is 3.5”.Per the same table, the 8” concrete wall
is 4-hr rated.
Per CBC Table 705.8, an unprotected, sprinklered wall with a FSD greater than 10’-0” but less than 15’-0” is allowed to have no more than
45% openings per floor.
The existing wall is approximately 24.5% open, which will complies with Table 705.8.
No accessible path of travel is anticipated along this side of building.
3.EXISTING 8” MIN. CONCRETE WALL CONSTRUCTION WITH ONE (1) PUNCHED OPENINGS FOR WINDOWS, PLUS AN EXTERIOR
DOOR WITH NON-RATED GLASS BLOCK SURROUND.
Proposed property line: 10’-6” from face of existing building
Per CBC Table 602, an FSD greater than 10’-0” for Type V-B construction requires a 0-hour exterior wall.
Per CBC Table 722.2.1.1, the max required thickness for 1-hr rating for a solid concrete wall is 3.5”.Per the same table, the 8” concrete wall
is 4-hr rated.
Per CBC Table 705.8, an unprotected, sprinklered wall with a FSD greater than 10’-0” but less than 15’-0” is allowed to have no more than
45% openings per floor.
The existing wall at the ground floor level is approximately 24.5% open, which will complies with Table 705.8. All floors above also comply
(9.9%, 11.2%, 8.8%)
The existing training tower element has a basement that extends eastward into the site approximately 7’-4”. There is a sidewalk-door style
opening in the hardscape that allows access into the basement from the exterior. This opening is not required by code and is intended to be
filled in with concrete.
An accessible path from the parking area in the rear of the building to the rear entry door of the stair tower does pass along this face of the
building. Per CBC 11B-403.5.1-Ex3, a 48” wide path of travel is required. A compliant 48” wide path will be provided.
4.EXISTING 8” MIN. CONCRETE WALL CONSTRUCTION WITH ONE (1) EXTERIOR DOOR.
Proposed property line: 4’-2” from face of existing building
Per CBC Table 602, an FSD of less than 5’-0” for Type V-B construction requires a 1-hour exterior wall.
Per CBC Table 722.2.1.1, the max required thickness for 1-hr rating for a solid concrete wall is 3.5”.Per the same table, the 8” concrete wall
is 4-hr rated.
Per CBC Table 705.8, an unprotected, sprinklered wall with a FSD greater than 3’-0” but less than 5’-0”is allowed to have no more than 15%
openings per floor.
The existing wall at the ground floor level is approximately 7.1% open, which will complies with Table 705.8. All floors above also comply
(9.5%, 9.8%, 7.1%)
The existing exterior door, due to its location in overlapping FSD areas, has an FSD of greater than 50’ and does not need to be rated.
An accessible path from the parking area in the rear of the building to the rear entry door of the stair tower does pass along this face of the
building. Per CBC 11B-403.5.1-Ex3, a 48” wide path of travel is required. A compliant 48” wide path will be provided.
Per CBC 1028.4.2, an “egress court” condition applies when the width of the path of travel is greater than 44” and less than 10’-0”. In such
cases, a 1-hr rated wall is required for a minimum height of 10’-0”. The existing concrete wall is a 4-hr wall and has no openings in this area,
and is therefore compliant.
The upper three floors of the training tower have an existing exterior fire escape system. The system is comprised of steel ladders and open
grille-work platforms. Because the platforms are open-grille and have free air movement through them, they are not governed by the
projection requirements of CBC 705.2. CBC 1021 and 1027 discuss exterior fire stairs, but not fire escapes. The California Existing
Building Code speaks explicitly about fire escapes as in Section 314, which has been adopted by the SFM for existing high-rise buildings.
While this training tower does not meet the height requirements of a high-rise building, this project proposes to apply the high-rise standards
to this existing fire escape as a conservative approach to a second exit from training tower spaces on the second, third, and fourth floors of
the tower. Section 314.8 gives the enforcing agency the ability apply exiting requirements in these situations with reasonable
judgement. Section 314.9 allows for fire escapes to be accessible by a window operable from the interior with a minimum dimension of 29
inches when open. The existing operable windows are approximately 40” x 60” when open. Section 314.10 allows for protection of exterior
openings within 5’ horzinontally of landings to be protected as appropriate by the enforcing agency. The walls within 5’ horizontally of the fire
escape are 8” thick concrete, a 4-hr rated wall. The fire escape is partially within the area bounded by the 4’-2” property line. Given that the
interior floor plates of the training tower are approximately 280sf per floor, and over 82sf of each floor level is taken up by the utility access
stair that provides primary access and egress, there is a usable floor area of less than 200sf per level which equates to a B-occupancy of 2
person per level. This project proposes to use the existing fire escape in its current configuration and location as shown as a second means
of egress from the upper floors of the existing training tower.
5. EXISTING 8” CONCRETE WALL CONSTRUCTION WITH TWO (2) PUNCHED OPENINGS FOR WINDOWS, PLUS AN EXTERIOR DOOR
ON THE GROUND FLOOR.
Proposed property line: 10’-6” from face of existing building
Per CBC Table 602, an FSD greater than 10’-0” for Type V-B construction requires a 0-hour exterior wall.
Per CBC Table 722.2.1.1, the max required thickness for 1-hr rating for a solid concrete wall is 3.5”.Per the same table, the 8” concrete wall
is 4-hr rated.
Per CBC Table 705.8, an unprotected, sprinklered wall with a FSD greater than 10’-0” but less than 15’-0” is allowed to have no more than
45% openings per floor.
The existing wall at the ground floor level is approximately 39.5% open, which will complies with Table 705.8. The floor above also complies
(37.7%)
An accessible path from the parking area in the rear of the building to the rear entry door of the stair tower does pass along this face of the
building. Per CBC 11B-403.5.1-Ex3, a 48” wide path of travel is required. A compliant 48” wide path will be provided.
6.TRAINING TOWER
This is served by an existing, non-conforming utility stair. This stair is not enclosed by any shaft. The project proposes to make adjustments
to handrails and handrail extensions to enhance conformity.
7.GRAND STAIR
The existing grand staircase has dimensionally code-conforming stair treads, risers and landings. Current handrails and guardrails are non-
conforming. The project proposes to make adjustments to handrails, guardrails and handrail extensions to enhance conformity.
8.2ND LANE PARALLEL PARKING
There are currently seven (7) parallel parking spaces striped on 2nd Lane to the south of the existing 201 Baden Property (between Giorgi
and 199 Airport. There are no existing parallel parking spaces that are striped on 2nd Lane behind 199 Airport.
Per discussions with SSF Fire Department, it is understood that with the development of the existing
201/205 Baden Property, there shall be no parallel parking on 2nd Lane from Linden to Airport. This
includes the seven (7) spaces adjacent to 201/205 Baden, as well as four (4) additional spaces adjacent
to 211 Baden, for a total of eleven (11) spaces that will be eliminated.

The subject .52-acre site is rectangular in shape and consists of three parcels: APN 012-335-100;
APN 012-335-110; and an adjoining, un-numbered parcel, in downtown South San Francisco.
The site is bound by Baden Avenue (north) and 2nd Lane (south). A multi-story Giorgi Bros.
furniture store is situated on the neighboring parcel to the west, and a restaurant building is
situated on the neighboring parcel to the east. The subject site contains a former fire station
building, a driveway off of Baden Avenue at the east, and a parking lot at the rear.1
Figure 3. Aerial view of subject property outlined in red, with building highlighted in yellow and
building volumes labeled (Google Maps, amended by author)
BUILDING
Exterior
The fire station is a reinforced-concrete building comprised of three volumes of varying height,
including: a one-story east volume, two-story west volume, and a five-story drill tower. All
volumes have flat roofs covered with composition materials. The three volumes combine to
form an L-shaped plan, with the drill tower situated south (rear) of the intersecting east and
west volumes (Figure 3).
The exterior is finished with painted, architectural concrete and minimally adorned with fluted
concrete piers between window bays and fluted concrete cornices. All window openings are
rectangular and contain single, paired, or tripartite arrangements. Within the west volume and
1 Acreage estimated sourced from CSS Environmental Services, Inc., Environmental Site Assessment: 201 Baden Avenue,

east volume, windows are primarily replacement, anodized-aluminum with operable awning
lites, referred to as “replacement windows” hereafter. The west wall of the apparatus bay at the
first story of the west elevation, and the south wall of the maintenance bay at the first story of
the south elevation retain original steel windows. The drill tower is fenestrated with original,
operable (hinged) steel-casement windows containing eight lites of wired glass each. Entrances
and the building’s central stairwell are lighted additionally by original glass block grids set into
aluminum frames. Entry doors are flush-wood with aluminum frames. Additional features
include a tall radio tower mounted to the roof. All roof planes are flat and are surrounded by
shallow concrete parapets.
North (Front)
The facade of the building fronts Baden Avenue and is recessed from the public sidewalk by a
short distance, providing a narrow lawn area in front of the building (Figure 4). The front
personnel entrance is recessed into the facade and flanked by bays of single and paired
replacement windows. The entrance is accessed by concrete steps with metal railings, and
contains a flush-wood door with a glass block surround and an aluminum frame. To the
immediate west of the entrance, the exterior shows signs of a removed feature that was at one
mounted adjacent to the recessed entryway (Figure 5 to Figure 7). Further west, the building’s
height increases to two stories at the west volume, which contains three apparatus bays at the
first story and three window bays at the second story. Each apparatus bay contains a paneled-
wood, roll-up door, with a massive concrete column separating each bay (Figure 8). Concrete
wheel guards remain in place at the base of each column (Figure 9). A modest concrete canopy
with curved ends is visible above the garage bays. Replacement windows at the second story
are paired, with tripartite transoms.

Continuing toward the rear of the building, the east facing elevation is comprised of portions of
the west volume and the connected drill tower (Figure 11). The east elevation features a wood,
roll-up garage door at the repair shop entrance located at the south end of the building. To the
north, the east elevation has a flush-wood, single-entry door set beneath a tripartite, steel-sash
horizontal window. Above, a tripartite replacement window is visible at the second story. To
the north, the drill tower extends from the elevation to a height of four stories. The tower is
fenestrated with operable steel-sash windows; each window contains 8 lites. The south wall of
the tower has an anodized metal fire escape and a metal ladder extending to the roof (Figure
12).

HISTORIC CONTEXT: SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
The following historic context for South San Francisco is excerpted from Chapter 1.2 of the
South San Francisco General Plan:
Evolution of South San Francisco
The modern history of South San Francisco began in 1827, when the 15,000-acre
Rancho Buri Buri was given to Jose Antonio Sanchez as a provisional land grant.2 In
1856, Charles Lux purchased 1,500 acres of the Rancho and founded the town of
Baden, named for Lux’s native region in Germany. At that time, the Baden area was
used for cattle grazing and dairy operations.
The meat industry played an important role in South San Francisco’s evolution. The
Gustavus Swift meat packing plant, established on Point San Bruno in 1888, was the
City’s first industrial development. Swift organized a “beef trust” with other
Midwestern meat packing companies to join in building a community of stockyards
and packing plants on Point San Bruno, and organized for the development of an
industrial town.
In 1890, the South San Francisco Land and Improvement Company purchased 3,400
acres on the former site of the Rancho Buri Buri for development of the town. The
arrangement of residential and industrial uses intentionally took advantage of stable
ground and Bay access at Point San Bruno, as well the prevailing winds from San
Bruno Gap that blew offensive odors away from residential areas and over the Bay.
Community Growth
Industry and [community] growth have been closely intertwined throughout South
San Francisco’s history. The construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) line
between San Francisco and San Jose in 1904-1907 expanded opportunities for goods
shipping from South San Francisco, and steel mills began to take advantage of the
city’s abundant land with excellent transportation access. A major lack of housing
and services and a battle over a copper smelter precipitated incorporation, allowing
South San Francisco to control its industrial future and provide the services needed
to attract resident workers. When the City incorporated on September 19, 1908, it
had 1,989 residents and 14 major industries.
Industries continued to locate and grow in South San Francisco in the 1920s and
1930s. Bethlehem Steel, U.S. Steel, and the Edwards Wire Rope Factory were some of
the city’s major establishments whose products helped build California’s modern
transportation and communications infrastructure. In the 1930s, shipping also
emerged as a major industry, as South San Francisco became an adjunct facility to
the Port of San Francisco. Easy rail access made South San Francisco even more
attractive as a shipping terminal, and the city became the central distribution point
for the entire Peninsula.
2 Information on South San Francisco’s history is primarily drawn from Linda Kaufman, South San Francisco: A
History (1976) and Joseph A. Blum, “South City: The Town That Could” San Francisco Sunday Examiner and
Chronicle, September 4, 1983.

Downtown and Civic Development
Grand Avenue has always been the spine of the city’s commercial core, extending
west from the industrial areas, and had almost reached El Camino Real by the time
incorporation occurred. With Sign Hill to the north and marshlands to the south
limiting expansion, the oldest part of the city was developed with a strong east-west
orientation, reinforced by a directional grid pattern of 950 by 300 foot blocks. The rail
spur along Railroad Avenue formed the City’s southern boundary. […]
In the years following incorporation, South San Francisco’s civic improvements kept
pace with its growing industry. The City Hall was opened in 1920 and the 20-acre
Orange Memorial Park was developed in 1925.
Residential Development and Hillside Growth
Constrained by marshlands to the south, residential development began to extend
north around and along the slopes of Sign Hill as the city grew, requiring the
introduction of a curvilinear street form. Industries expanded to the south and west,
taking advantage of the SPRR and spurs along Railroad Avenue and other streets
west of the rail right-of-way. […]
The growth of South San Francisco’s steel and, later, shipbuilding industries through
the 1920s and World War II helped spur residential growth. Between 1940 and 1960,
South San Francisco’s population increased more than six-fold from 6,290 to 39,418.3
Over 46 percent of South San Francisco’s existing housing units were constructed
between 1940 and 1959.4
Government-built housing for military personnel and shipyard workers was
developed during the war on the former marshland between Railroad Avenue,
South Spruce Avenue and San Mateo Avenue. The area is still known as Lindenville
after the largest government development. Demolition of the housing in the late
1950s paved the way for redevelopment of the area with warehouses, light industry,
and single-family housing in the Mayfair Village subdivision.
Post-War Transformation
By the end of the 1950s, South San Francisco had essentially reached its present level
of urbanization between U.S. 101 and Junipero Serra Boulevard. Many of the
residential subdivisions west of Sign Hill and El Camino Real were complete. Except
at the city’s northwestern corner, Junipero Serra Boulevard formed the city’s western
edge, and Hillside Boulevard/Randolph Avenue was the northern boundary.
During this decade, the City converted previously unused marshlands into areas
usable for industrial development, drastically reshaping the shoreline and attracting
light industry to the city for the first time. Plans were announced in 1963 for a 600-
acre industrial park adjacent to the newly-developed Oyster Point Marina. This
industrial park was South San Francisco’s first industrial development to incorporate
comprehensive planning, integrated design, and performance provisions, and

featured a 0.5 FAR, ample parking, and consistent landscaping and building design.
The park heralded South San Francisco’s industrial future.
In some ways a microcosm of American industry, South San Francisco has been
making a slow industrial transformation for the past 30 years. Steel production and
other heavy industries have largely been replaced by warehousing, research,
development, and biotechnology. Because the city’s industrial base has continued to
evolve as the context for industry has changed, industry will continue to play an
important role in South San Francisco’s future.
With some important exceptions, land use in South San Francisco since the 1960s has
stemmed from internal change rather than outright expansion. Infill development
occurred along El Camino Real, Chestnut Avenue, and U.S. 101. Major expansion
did occur in the Westborough area and the East of 101 area, enabled respectively by
the construction of Interstate 280 and landfill at Oyster and Sierra Points. The city
has recently entered its last phase of expansion with multi-use development at San
Bruno Mountain. Future opportunities for growth other than redevelopment are
limited to remaining unincorporated islands.
South San Francisco Fire Department
Firefighting in South San Francisco is rooted in the foundation of a volunteer fire
company, South San Francisco Hose Company No. 1 (Hose Company No. 1), founded in
1892.5 In 1896, the Citizens Mutual Protection Association, founded 1895, purchased a
cast iron bell to alert volunteer fire fighters. Due to limited funds and equipment failure,
Hose Company No. 1 disbanded in 1900.6 As reported by the Vincent Mager of the
Brisbane Bee:
The [San Mateo] [C]ounty Board of Supervisors responded to a petition from
residents to establish a fire department. By 1902, a Fire Commission was
formed and new equipment purchased in time for the hose company to be
reorganized in 1903. The fire house [built in 1904] was located at Grand and
Linden avenues. Later, additional companies were houses at Aspen and
Linden and the school house on Grand.7
In 1907, two new hose houses were built: Hose Company No. 2 at Aspen Linden
Avenues and Hose Company No. 3 at the school house lot on Grand Avenue.8 The South
San Francisco Fire Department was founded in 1908 as a small volunteer department
that responded to fires with a hand drawn cart.9

Following the establishment of a paid fire department in 1910 by city ordinance, the
department acquired two Seagrave pumper engines between 1916 and 1927. During this
period, South San Francisco purchased an electric fire alarm system and installed fire
alarm boxes on utility poles throughout the city. City Hall, dedicated in 1920, housed the
city’s first firehouse in its basement. Despite construction of a second fire house on E.
Grand Avenue in 1928, the basement of City Hall continued to house the department’s
administrative offices until the completion of the subject building in 1949.10
In 1932, Alex Welte was appointed to the position of fire chief and building inspector.
Welte, the department’s third chief, abolished the volunteer department and instituted a
call system. During the 1930s, Welte sought additional department funding from the
City council and established a local fire college. Welte’s efforts included sending
firefighters out into the community to generate support for additional department
funding, and were rewarded in 1947 when city residents voted to fund a bond program
that enabled the construction of Central Station in 1949. The funding also beget
acquisition of a pumper engine, the department’s first aerial truck, and construction of
the Buri Buri substation on the west side of El Camino Real, which opened in 1950.11
With the completion of Central Station and the hiring of the department’s first full-time,
paid firefighters in 1949, South San Francisco Fire Department entered a modern era of
firefighting.
Central Station was among the region’s best-equipped, modern fire stations. The 10,000
square foot building contained offices, a kitchen, watch room, storeroom, maintenance
shop, and three apparatus bays at the first story. The second story housed dormitories,
captain’s office, and locker rooms. The four-story drill tower contained a smoke room,
dry standpipe system, exterior fire escapes, and provided space for hose drying. The
tower was also equipped with a flood light system for night drills.12
In 1960, Station No. 2 was opened, and replaced the auxiliary station on E. Grand
Avenue. In 1962, Welte retired, after serving as fire chief for three decades. Welte’s
impact on the day-to-day operations of the fire department was evidenced by
completion of Central Station in 1949, and the development of a staff of over 40 paid
staff.
In the 1970s, groundwork was laid for the addition of paramedic services. The paramedic
program was first proposed in March of 1973 and enacted in 1975, giving the department the
distinction of being the first, and only fire department to provide full paramedic transport
services in San Mateo County.13 In 1980, Fire Administrative was relocated from Central Station
to the Municipal Services Building. In 2006, Central Station was vacated as the department
shifted operations to a new station at 480 N. Canal Street.

The following historic context of the development of the fire station typology is adapted from
Tom Wilkinson’s “Typology: Fire Stations.”14
The Fire Station building typology is one reflective of changes in firefighting technology
that have occurred over many centuries, from efforts to fight fires bucket-by-bucket in
ancient Rome, and later the invention of motorized fire engines by the turn of the
twentieth century. By the mid-seventeenth century, firefighting equipment was began to
be mounted on horse-drawn carriages, which required stations that accommodated such
equipment and personal. Leather fire houses invented in Amsterdam in 1673 required
hanging to dry out to avoid rot; hence, the need for hose towers at many stations. By the
mid-1700s, both private and volunteer firefighting companies were established in the
United States, preceding the establishment of municipal crews as cities grew rapidly.
Stations were often limited by the narrow urban lots they were built upon, necessitating
vertical space and multiple stories to house equipment and personnel.
As Wilkinson notes:
Fire crews had to take the stairs until David B Kenyon…invented the
firehouse pole in 1878. This made his unit noticeably faster and was quickly
adopted worldwide.
Motori[z]ed engines were introduced around 1900, but these slotted fairly
easily into existing buildings. By the middle of the century, however, a
number of technological changes altered firefighting. Structural steel made
buildings taller, requiring much longer ladders, and cherry pickers were also
added to the kit. These innovations made fire engines bigger and this
rendered many older stations unfit for purpose. A new wave of buildings
was constructed with Modernist disregard for historical precedent, for
instance Robert Mallet-Stevens’ 1936 station in Paris, Owen Williams’ 1938
station for the Boots drug factory in Nottingham, and Claude Ferret’s 1954
Bordeaux station surmounted by a Corbusian accommodation block. From
the mid 1960s to the 1980s the Greater London Council built a large number
of stations, such as the one at Shoreditch with its exposed concrete frame and
cantilevered apartments. Hose towers were no longer disguised as
campaniles or machicolated keeps, but stripped down to skeletal béton brut
[rough textured concrete common to Brutalist style architecture].15
The subject building may be categorized as a modernistic station that features typical features of
a fire station such as apparatus bays, spaces for personnel (offices and dormitories), and a drill
tower for practice and training. The building is rendered in architectural concrete with modest
exterior detail; primarily fluting at piers between windows and along the roofline.

William Henry Rowe (1894-1984) was a prominent architect whose career was based out
of offices in San Francisco and San Mateo County between the 1920s and 1960s. Rowe
frequently designed civic and institutional buildings, and school buildings, along with a
select few residences, in Northern and Central California. Rowe designed the Central
Fire Station under his private practice, William Henry Rowe, Architect, as indicated on
the title block of original drawings for the building.
Rowe’s design was completed between 1947 and 1948, based on dates on the provided
plans. Rowe was born in Watsonville, California in 1894 and entered into architectural
practice as a draftsman with the Watsonville-based firm of architect William Henry
Weeks in 1913.16 Between 1915 and 1923, Rowe was employed as a draftsman and
resident architect for the Spreckels Sugar Company in Spreckels, Monterey County,
California.17 Census data from 1920 shows that Rowe resided with fellow employees
during is time with Spreckels Sugar Company.18
Rowe relocated to San Francisco in 1923, the year he married Jean Charlotte Stevens
(1901-1975) of Oakland, California, and began working as an architect for the firm
Weeks & Day.19 By 1930, Rowe relocated to Burlingame, California, and in 1931, founded
his eponymous firm. By 1940, Rowe resided in Hillsborough, California and continued
to operate a private architectural practice.20
In the 1956 American Architects Directory, sponsored by the American Institute of Architects
(AIA), Rowe listed several principle works, including:
• Spreckels Art Gallery, 1922-1923
• South San Francisco Civic Buildings, 1946-1949
• Elementary Schools at Moss Landing, 1952
• Paso Robles Civic Buildings, 1952
• Alisal School District, Salinas – 4 School buildings, 1953
• San Bruno Civic Buildings, 195621
Rowe joined the Northern California Chapter of the AIA in 1947 and served as its directory
between 1951 and 1953. Rowe was also a member of the Peninsula Art Association, serving as
president between 1952 and 1953, and served in the U.S. Army between 1917 and 1918, and U.S.
Navy between 1942 and 1944.22

SITE EVOLUTION AND CONSTRUCTION CHRONOLOGY
SITE DEVELOPMENT
Historic Sanborn fire insurance survey maps and historic aerial photographs show the majority
of the land contained within the subject site was vacant prior to its use as a fire station
beginning in 1949 (Figure 22 and Figure 23). By 1925, South City Lumber & Supply Co.
occupied the property to the immediate west, currently occupied by Giorgi Bros. furniture
store, which ca. 1925 extended southward to Commercial Avenue. During this five-decade
period, Cypress Avenue extended southward through what is currently the middle portion of
the site.

The subject building was constructed in 1949 as Fire Station 61, and became known as Central
Station (Figure 24 to Figure 26). As part of the site’s redevelopment, Cypress Avenue was cut
off north of Baden Avenue.23 In early May 1949, the station neared completion, with occupancy
targeted at the end of the month. The station was described in The South San Francisco Journal as:
…two stories tall with a drill tower. The second story contains dormitory lockers and
their officer quarters. The lower floor has two offices, a kitchen, fire alarm room store
room, shop, apparatus floor and drill tower, with a test pit in the rear. The fire chief’s
office in on the ground floor in the northeast corner.24
Following the occupancy of the station in late May, a dedication and ceremony was held on July
17, 1949. The ceremony provided South San Francisco residents an opportunity to inspect the
new fire station and the department’s new equipment, including a 75-foot aerial truck and two
pumper engines.25

The 1950 Sanborn map of South San Francisco was the first to record the subject building
following its construction. Identified features included reinforced-concrete and wood-frame
with curtain wall structural systems, concrete floors, a central stairwell, drill tower, and a shop
at the rear of the building (Figure 27).

According to newspaper reports, between 1980 and 2006, the department’s administration was
relocated from the subject building to the Municipal Services buildings, prior to rejoining the
crews of the new Central Station in 2006.26
Following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the building was deemed seismically unfit, and the
City purchased the former Black Mountain Water building at 480 N. Canal Street about two
years ago (ca. 2004) for use as a new central station.27 Fire Station 61 crews moved into the new
facility on March 10, 2006, and the subject building was vacated.
CONSTRUCTION CHRONOLOGY
The following building permits are on file at the South San Francisco Permit Center. The subject
building was built in 1949. No major alterations to the building are indicated on available
building permits, which range from 1976 to 2000. Alterations not indicated on available permits,
include: replacement of the original roll-up apparatus bay doors with paneled-wood apparatus
bay doors at an unknown date after 1949; installation of wood paneling on some interior walls
(office spaces); removal of the station’s fire poles at the interior; boarding over or infilling of
select windows and doors at the rear of the building.
Replacement, anodized-aluminum windows within the station were installed ca. 1968, based
upon date stamps visible on window hardware. Research indicates that this date is consistent
with the introduction of anodized-aluminum as a common window material in the 1950s and

Biographical Information
Alex Welte, Fire Chief 1932-1962
Alex Welte (1897-1976) served as Fire Chief of the South San Francisco Fire Department
between 1932 and 1962. Welte was a firefighter with the department beginning in 1930 and
resided in South San Francisco with his wife Gladys (1899-1941) and daughter Evelyn (1925-?).
An obituary published in the San Francisco Examiner, in 1976 describes:
A native of South San Francisco, he worked in the city’s meat packing industry and
was a volunteer fireman until the city council chose him to the be the city’s first paid
fireman in 1930. When he retired in 1962 he had expanded the department into a
team of 46 paid employees manning three engine companies and an aerial ladder out
of three stations. He served in the AEF in France in World War I and was active in
veterans’ affairs as well as the Elks Lodge, and served as the first exalted rule of the
South San Francisco lodge when it was formed.29
Welte was the department’s longest-tenured fire chief and the first chief to occupy the subject
building upon its completion in 1949.

EVALUATION FRAMEWORK
THE CALIFORNIA REGISTER CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION
The California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) is the official list of properties,
structures, districts, and objects significant at the local, state, or national level. California
Register properties must have significance under one of the four following criteria and must
retain enough of their historic character or appearance to be recognizable as historical resources
and convey the reasons for their significance (i.e. retain integrity). The California Register
utilizes the same seven aspects of integrity as the National Register. Properties that are eligible
for the National Register are automatically eligible for the California Register. Properties that do
not meet the threshold for the National Register may meet the California Register criteria.
1. Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to broad patterns of
local or regional history, or cultural heritage of California or the United States;
2. Associated with the lives of persons important to the local, California or national history
3. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a design-type, period, region, or method of
construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic value; or
4. Yields important information about prehistory or history of the local area, California or
the nation.
CRHR criteria are similar to National Register of Historic Places criteria, and are tied to CEQA,
so any resource that meets the above criteria, and retains a sufficient level of historic integrity, is
considered an historical resource under CEQA.
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE (SSFMC) CHAPTER 2.56
The SSFMC describes:
a “historic resource” means as a structure, a natural feature, or a site which if 50
years old or older, of architectural, artistic, cultural, engineering, aesthetic,
archeological, historical, political, or social significance to the citizens of the city of
South San Francisco, the state, or nation.30
The SSFMC provides the following criteria for designation of historic resources:
a) Its character, interest, or value as a significant part of the heritage of the City, the state,
or the nation; and
b) Its location as a site of a significant historic event; or

c) Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the culture
and development of the City, the state, or the nation; or
d) Its exemplification of a particular architectural style or way of life; or
e) Its exemplification of the best remaining example of a particular architectural type in the
City
f) Its identification as the creation, design, or work of a person or persons whose efforts
have significantly influenced the heritage of the City, the State, or the nation; or
g) Its embodiment of elements demonstrating outstanding attention to artistic,
architectural, and/or engineering design, detail, materials, or craftsmanship; or
h) Its relationship to any other historic resource if its preservation is essential to the
integrity of the other historic resource (for example, it is a clearly identified element of a
larger cohesive neighborhood or area whose integrity and character should be protected,
such as the civic center, downtown, or a specific residential neighborhood); or
i) Its unique location or singular physical characteristics representing an established and
familiar visual feature of the City; or
j) Its potential of yielding significant information of archaeological interest ; or
k) Its integrity as a natural environment that strongly contributes to the well being of the
people of the City, the State, or the nation (for example, an area retained in or developed
in a natural setting, such as portions of Sign Hill, or some other feature that contributes
to the quality of life in South San Francisco). (Ord. 1440 § 2, 2011). 31
HISTORIC INTEGRITY
When evaluating a resource for the CRHR, one must evaluate and clearly state the significance
of that resource to American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, or culture. A
resource may be considered individually eligible for listing in the CRHR if it meets one or more
of the above listed criteria for significance and it possesses historic integrity. Historic properties
must retain sufficient historic integrity to convey their significance. The following seven aspects
define historic integrity:
• Location. The place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the
historic event occurred.
• Design. The combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and
style of a property.
• Setting. The physical environment of a historic property.

• Materials. The physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular
period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property.
• Workmanship. The physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people
during any given period in history or prehistory.
• Feeling. A property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of
time.
• Association. The direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic
property.
To retain historic integrity, a resource should possess several of the above-mentioned aspects.
The retention of specific aspects of integrity is essential for a resource to convey its significance.
Comparisons with similar properties should also be considered when evaluating integrity as it
may be important in deciding what physical features are essential to reflect the significance of a
historic context.

EVALUATION FINDINGS
CALIFORNIA REGISTER OF HISTORICAL RESOURCES
This section uses the historic information discussed above to evaluate the property at 201 Baden
Avenue in South San Francisco for historic significance. The CRHR uses generally the same
guidelines as the National Register of Historic Places (developed by the National Park Service);
as such, selected language from those guidelines will be quoted below to help clarify the
evaluation discussion.
To be potentially eligible for individual listing on the CRHR, a structure must usually be more
than 50 years old, must have historic significance, and must retain its physical integrity. The
subject building at 201 Baden Avenue was constructed in 1949 and therefore meets the age
requirement. In terms of historic significance, the CRHR evaluates a resource based on the
following four criteria:
Criterion 1 (Events)
As stated by the National Park Service (NPS), this criterion “recognizes properties associated
with single events, such as the founding of a town, or with a pattern of events, repeated
activities, or historic trends, such as the gradual rise of a port city's prominence in trade and
commerce.”32 When considering a property for significance under this criterion, the associated
event or trends “must clearly be important within the associated context: settlement, in the case
of the town, or development of a maritime economy, in the case of the port city…Moreover, the
property must have an important association with the event or historic trends”33
The subject building appears to be individually eligible under Criterion 1 (Events) for its
association with the development of modern municipal services and civic buildings in the City
of South San Francisco, and as the City’s first purpose-built fire station, originally known as
Central Station. The period of significance for this criterion is 1949, representing the building’s
year of construction. The station’s construction in 1949 reflects the growth of the City of South
San Francisco during the early twentieth century as industry and commerce, and a growing
population, required extension of municipal services. Although the subject building does not
associate with the origination of firefighting in South San Francisco, its association with the
City’s development during the mid-twentieth century, remains important. Further, the subject
building was the first purpose-built fire station in South San Francisco. Prior to the subject
building’s construction, firefighting administration was housed in the basement of City Hall,
and an auxiliary firehouse was used for equipment storage. Precedent buildings were utilized
by Hose Company’s and do not appear to be extant.
Criterion 2 (Persons)
This criterion applies to properties associated with individuals whose specific contributions to
history can be identified and documented. The NPS defines significant persons as “individuals
whose activities are demonstrably important within a local, state, or national historic context.
The criterion is generally restricted to those properties that illustrate (rather than
commemorate) a person's important achievements. The persons associated with the property
must be individually significant within a historic context.” The NPS also specifies that these
32 U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Cultural Resources staff, “How to Apply the National
Register Criteria for Evaluation,” National Register Bulletin, no. 15 (1990: revised for internet 1995). 33 Cultural Resources staff, “How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation.”

27
properties “are usually those associated with a person's productive life, reflecting the time
period when he or she achieved significance.”34
The subject building does not appear to be individually eligible under Criterion 2 (Persons) for
its association with a person or persons who have made significant contributions to local, State,
or national history. Of the many firefighters and individuals associated with the South San
Francisco Fire Department and the subject building, which operated as Central Station between
1949 and 2006, long-time Fire Chief Alex Welte appears to be the individual whose career bears
the greatest association with the building, particularly as Welte lobbied for the construction of a
modern station that was realized with the completion of the subject building, and because Welte
served as a Fire Chief with an office in the building during a large portion of his career.
Research shows that Welte was an influential member of the department for over three decades,
and was integral to the development of modern firefighting practices in South San Francisco
throughout his career, including the efforts to obtain funding for Central Station. Despite
Welte’s strong association with the subject building, which served as his primary location of
employment during the prime of his career, the existing body of scholarship on the history of
firefighting in South San Francisco and broader historic trends related to firefighting do not
enable a thorough understanding of the relative importance of Welte’s achievements when
compared to other professionals in his field contemporaneously.
Criterion 3: Architecture
According to the NPS, “ ‘Type, period, or method of construction’ refers to the way certain
properties are related to one another by cultural tradition or function, by dates of construction
or style, or by choice or availability of materials and technology. A structure is eligible as a
specimen of its type or period of construction if it is an important example (within its context) of
building practices of a particular time in history.”35
The subject building appears to be individually eligible for listing in the California Register
under Criterion 3 as a building that embodies the distinct characteristics of a modern fire station
typology rendered with elements of the International style, constructed in 1949 in South San
Francisco. The period of significance for this criterion is 1949, representing the building’s year of
construction. The building does not appear to be eligible as a representative work of a master
architect. The building was designed by architect William Henry Rowe, whose career began as a
draftsman for the firm of William H. Weeks, and later Spreckels Sugar Company, prior to
Rowe’s establishment of a private architectural practice in 1931. Among design professionals
active during Rowe’s career, which spanned ca. 1913 to the 1960s, Rowe does not stand out as a
highly influential or innovate designer, or for a association with a building type, style, or
philosophy of design that has made a particularly significant impact on the field of architecture.
Nonetheless, Rowe’s design for the subject building provides an excellent local example of a
modern fire station typology. The building’s concrete structure, restrained ornamentation, and
distinct massing embody characteristics of the fire station typology that evolved from early
high-style urban fire houses, to more utilitarian examples completed during the mid-twentieth
century, that accommodated larger fire engines, hose drying and drill towers, and space for
staff.

only. Therefore, no informed determination could be made regarding the property’s eligibility
for CRHR under Criterion 4.
CHARACTER-DEFINING FEATURES
Assessment of various features is done according to a prioritized evaluation system. Once the
character defining features have been identified, each is assigned a priority rating to create a
sense of the relative historical importance of these spaces and features. A rating scale of
“Premier-Important-Contributing-Non-Contributing” is used. In general, this system allows for
the analysis of the structure as a whole to guide what types of work should be done, and where
such work could be completed with the least damage to the historic integrity of the resource.
The character-defining features of the residence and property at 201 Baden Avenue, include:
Primary
§ Massing (east wing, west wing, and drill tower at rear)
§ Architectural concrete exterior
§ Fluted concrete details at concrete piers and along cornice line
§ Three apparatus bays (dimension of apparatus bays exclusive of replacement doors)
§ Glass block door surrounds
§ Steel casement windows in drill tower
§ Steel windows at additional locations
§ Windows set into banks or ribbons creating a horizontal emphasis
Important
§ Glass block stairwell window at drill tower exterior
§ Curved concrete columns and wheel guards at apparatus bays
§ Front, recessed entrance
§ Rear entrance beneath curved canopy
Contributing
§ Canopy with curved ends over apparatus bays
§ Flat roofs
§ Flush-wood doors
Non-Contributing
§ Apparatus bay doors (previously altered)
§ Replacement aluminum windows installed ca. 1968

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE (SSFMC) CHAPTER 2.56
a) Its character, interest, or value as a significant part of the heritage of the City, the state,
or the nation; and
Eligible. The subject building has a distinct character among buildings in the city as a
modern fire station typology. As the first purpose-built fire station in South San
Francisco, and an example of its type, the building is associated with the development of
municipal services in the growing city during the mid-twentieth century. The building is
also reflective of building trends during the mid-twentieth century as firefighting
modernized, and stations were typically constructed with less elaborate designs that
accommodate larger fire engines, space for staff, and utilitarian spaces such as hose
drying and drill towers. The building appears to be among the most intact examples of
architecture of its period in the City of South San Francisco.
b) Its location as a site of a significant historic event; or
Not Eligible. The subject building is not known to have been the location of a significant
event. Events such as dedication ceremonies, or other commemorative events such as
dinners or banquets held at the station do not appear to stand out among many similar
events held throughout the City’s history.
c) Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the culture
and development of the City, the state, or the nation; or
Not Eligible. The subject building does not appear to be identified with a person or
persons who significantly contributed to the culture and development of the City, the
State, or nation.
d) Its exemplification of a particular architectural style or way of life; or
Eligible. The subject building is among the City of South San Francisco’s strongest
examples of a modernist building; the building embodies the application of International
style elements to a fire station typology. The building features apparatus bays, a drill
tower, and additional volumes containing office space. These aspects of the building’s
original use, and purpose-built design reflected through its utilitarian and minimally
adorned exterior finishes, steel and aluminum windows set in horizontal bands or
ribbons. The building is reflective of fire fighting practices ca. 1949 that revolved around
a building that combined spaces for equipment storage, maintenance, along with office
and dormitory spaces for personnel.
109

e) Its exemplification of the best remaining example of a particular architectural type in the
City
Eligible. The subject building appears to be the best remaining example of a modern
(mid-twentieth century) fire station in the City of South San Francisco.
f) Its identification as the creation, design, or work of a person or persons whose efforts
have significantly influenced the heritage of the City, the State, or the nation; or
Not Eligible. The subject building does not appear to be eligible under this criterion as
the building’s designer is not known to have significantly influenced the heritage of the
City, State, or nation.
g) Its embodiment of elements demonstrating outstanding attention to artistic,
architectural, and/or engineering design, detail, materials, or craftsmanship; or
Eligible. The subject building’s design, materiality, and evidence of craftsmanship ca.
1949, through the retention of many historic elements, enables the building to
demonstrate outstanding attention to architectural design, materials, and craftsmanship.
Although the building is modestly adorned, its utilitarian design remains reflective of its
intended use, and is highly reflective of buildings practices of its period of construction.
h) Its relationship to any other historic resource if its preservation is essential to the
integrity of the other historic resource (for example, it is a clearly identified element of a
larger cohesive neighborhood or area whose integrity and character should be protected,
such as the civic center, downtown, or a specific residential neighborhood); or
Not Eligible. The subject building does not appear to be an element of a larger cohesive
neighborhood, beyond being located within the downtown area. The building appears
to be a stand-alone resource in terms of its significance and does not appear to be
essential to the integrity of other resources.
i) Its unique location or singular physical characteristics representing an established and
familiar visual feature of the City; or
Eligible. The subject building exhibits a distinct architectural design within downtown
South San Francisco, reflective of building trends for civic buildings during the mid-
twentieth century. The building’s singular design characteristics have been minimally
altered, and, although the building’s setting has been altered by the construction of the
west neighboring building, it remains a familiar and established visual feature of the
City.
110

j) Its potential of yielding significant information of archaeological interest; or
Not Eligible. This evaluation was limited to survey and evaluation of above-ground
resources. Therefore, no informed determination could be made regarding the
property’s eligibility under this criterion.
k) Its integrity as a natural environment that strongly contributes to the well being of the
people of the City, the State, or the nation (for example, an area retained in or developed
in a natural setting, such as portions of Sign Hill, or some other feature that contributes
to the quality of life in South San Francisco). (Ord. 1440 § 2, 2011). 36
Not Eligible. The subject property is not a natural environment, and therefore does not
qualify for eligibility under this criterion.
HISTORIC INTEGRITY
The subject building and property at 201 Baden Avenue has been found to be potentially
significant, and as such will be evaluated for its integrity.
Location: The subject building retains integrity of location as it has not been relocated from its
site of original construction.
Design: The subject building retains integrity of design. Review of available building permit
records and historic documentation (photographs, Sanborn maps) shows the building’s design
has been minimally altered since its original construction in 1949. The building retains its
original architectural concrete exterior, distinct massing comprised of three volumes, and key
features such as apparatus bays, fluted concrete details. Replacement of original steel windows
within anodized-aluminum windows ca. 1968 does not appear to have altered the size or
location of openings within the building, or the characteristic horizontality of the building’s
historic fenestration. Thus, the building’s design continues to express its essential form,
embodying its 1949 appearance.
Setting: The subject building retains integrity of setting. The subject building remains situated in
an area of primarily commercial uses in downtown South San Francisco. The subject site retains
similar spatial characteristics with respect to its spatial arrangement as designed in 1949. The L-
plan building occupies the north, northwest, and west portions of the site, while a large parking
area occupies the remainder of the site.
Materials: The subject building retains integrity of materials. The building was originally
designed with an architectural concrete exterior, wood doors set into aluminum frames, steel
and glass block windows, and wood apparatus bay doors. Although the apparatus bay doors
have been replaced by paneled-wood roll-up doors, and many original steel windows were
replaced ca. 1968 by anodized-aluminum windows, steel windows have been retained in the
36 South San Francisco Municipal Code, Chapter 2.56 Planning Commission, 2.56.110 Criteria for historic designation.

drill tower and at select windows bays, providing evidence of the building’s historic
materiality.
Workmanship: The subject building retains integrity of workmanship. The physical evidence of
the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory is
evidenced through the retention of many historic windows, doors and glass block surrounds,
exterior architectural concrete, and fluted concrete detailing at piers between window openings
and along the cornice line.
Feeling: The subject building retains integrity of feeling. The building’s original design in terms
of massing, materiality, and evidence of workmanship has been retained as many original
materials have been retains, and the building’s massing, scale, and overall design remain highly
expressive of modern fire stations. The building feels like a 1949 modern fire station due to the
retention of features including apparatus bays, its multi-story drill tower, period windows, and
minimal modern detailing including fluted concrete elements.
Association: The subject building retains integrity of association. The building continues to
associate with a period of modern development, and its design as a modern fire station
typology through its design, retention of a downtown setting, location, and evidence of period
materiality and workmanship.
Historic Integrity Summary
The subject building retains all seven aspects of integrity. Thus, the building remains expressive
of its significance under the above outlined criteria of the California Register, and the South San
Francisco Municipal Code.

CONCLUSION
The property at 201 Baden Avenue in South San Francisco was developed in 1949 as the location
of South San Francisco Fire Department’s Central Station. Designed by architect William Henry
Rowe, the subject building served as the City’s first purpose-built fire station between 1949 and
2006, when it was vacated and fire operations were relocated to a newly constructed station.
The subject building appears to be individually eligible for listing in the California Register of
Historical Resources under Criterion 1 for its association with the development of firefighting,
extension of municipal services, and the growth of South San Francisco during the mid-
twentieth century. Additionally, although the building’s designer, William Henry Rowe, AIA
was a prominent and well-respected designer during his career, existing scholarship and
understanding of Rowe’s influence does not suggest that he would be considered a master-level
designer. Nonetheless, the subject building’s design provides an excellent example of a modern
fire station typology, with high historic integrity, such that the building appears individually
eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources under Criterion 3 for its
embodiment of a type and period of construction. The building also appears to qualify under
several evaluative criteria for local historic listing under the South San Francisco Municipal
Code.

Re: Standards Compliance Review – 201 Baden Avenue, South San Francisco
Via: jhartman@g4arch.com
Dear Jonathan,
Garavaglia Architecture, Inc. (GA) has been retained by Group 4 Architecture, Research +
Planning, Inc. (G4) to provide guidance on the compliance of proposed alterations to the
building at 201 Baden Avenue, South San Francisco, with the Secretary of the Interior’s
Standards for Rehabilitation. Such a review has been requested by the City of South San
Francisco Planning Department because the 201 Baden property has been determined as
individually eligible for listing on the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) and is
considered a historic resource under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This
determination of eligibility was made as part of a Historic Resource Evaluation undertaken by
GA in 2019. Proposed project drawings and plans, dated October 7, 2022, were provided for
review.
The building at 201 Baden Avenue was designed by architect William Henry Rowe in 1949 for
use as a fire station. It was known as Fire Station 61, and later as Central Station. It has been
determined eligible for listing on the CRHR under Criterion 1: Events because its “construction
in 1949 reflects the growth of the City of South San Francisco during the early twentieth century
as industry and commerce, and a growing population, required extension of municipal
services.”1 It has also been noted as eligible under Criterion 3: Architecture, “as a building that
embodies the distinct characteristics of a modern fire station typology rendered with elements
of the International style, constructed in 1949 in South San Francisco.”2

PROJECT INFORMATION
Site and Building Description
The subject .52-acre site is rectangular in shape and consists of three parcels: APN 012-335-100;
APN 012-335-110; and an adjoining, un-numbered parcel, in downtown South San Francisco.
The site is bound by Baden Avenue (north) and 2nd Lane (south). A multi-story Giorgi Bros.
furniture store is situated on the neighboring parcel to the west, and a restaurant building is
situated on the neighboring parcel to the east. The subject site contains a former fire station
building, a driveway off of Baden Avenue at the east, and a parking lot at the rear.3
The fire station is a reinforced-concrete building comprised of three volumes of varying height,
including: a one-story east volume, two-story west volume, and a five-story drill tower. All
volumes have flat roofs covered with composition materials. The three volumes combine to
form an L-shaped plan, with the drill tower situated south (rear) of the intersecting east and
west volumes (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Aerial view of subject property outlined in red, with building highlighted in yellow and
building volumes labeled (Google Maps, amended by author).
The exterior is finished with painted, architectural concrete and minimally adorned with fluted
concrete piers between window bays and fluted concrete cornices. All window openings are
rectangular and contain single, paired, or tripartite arrangements. Within the west volume and
east volume, windows are primarily replacement, anodized-aluminum units with operable
awning lites, referred to as “replacement windows” hereafter. The west wall of the apparatus
bay at the first story of the west elevation, and the south wall of the maintenance bay at the first
story of the south elevation retain original steel windows. The drill tower is fenestrated with
original, operable (hinged) steel-casement windows containing eight lites of wired glass each.
Entrances and the building’s central stairwell are lighted additionally by original glass block
grids set into aluminum frames. Entry doors are flush wood with aluminum frames. Additional

features include a tall radio tower mounted to the roof. All roof planes are flat and are
surrounded by shallow concrete parapets.
Character-Defining Features
GA identified character-defining features as part of the HRE in 2019. Each was assigned a
priority rating of “Premier-Important-Contributing-Non-Contributing” to create a sense of the
relative historical importance of spaces and features. In general, this system allows for the
analysis of the structure as a whole, to guide what types of work should be done, and where
such work could be completed with the least damage to the historic integrity of the resource.
The character-defining features of the property at 201 Baden Avenue, include:
Primary
• Massing (east wing, west wing, and drill tower at rear)
• Architectural concrete exterior
• Fluted concrete details at concrete piers and along cornice line
• Three apparatus bays (dimension of apparatus bays exclusive of replacement doors)
• Glass block door surrounds
• Steel casement windows in drill tower
• Steel windows at additional locations
• Windows set into banks or ribbons creating a horizontal emphasis
Important
• Glass block stairwell window at drill tower exterior
• Curved concrete columns and wheel guards at apparatus bays
• Front, recessed entrance
• Rear entrance beneath curved canopy
Contributing
• Canopy with curved ends over apparatus bays
• Flat roofs
• Flush-wood doors
Non-Contributing
• Apparatus bay doors (previously altered)
• Replacement aluminum windows installed ca. 19684
Project Summary
The project under review proposes to re-purpose the old Firehouse for an office space. The
overall scope of work includes associated site work for surface parking, pathways, and
landscaping, replacing overhead doors with storefront, painting, new building and code
signage, and outfitting the interior to create a multi-tenant office space with shared facilities.
Specific alterations include:

• Removal of all non-historic roll-up doors on the apparatus bays (north and east facades);
replacement with aluminum storefronts with mullion patterns that are evocative of the
historic doors
• Removal of two historic steel windows on the south facade due to deterioration;
replacement with aluminum storefronts with matching mullion patterns
• Infill of four doors on the south facade
• Infill of windows on the east and west facades; infill would be shallower than the
exterior wall plane to show relief
o Infill of one of the three aluminum replacement windows on the single-story portion
of the east facade due to proximity to the property line
o Infill of one of the historic steel windows on the first floor of the west facade for
structural reasons
o Possible infill of three other historic steel windows on the first floor of the west
facade due to the location of the trash enclosure*
• Construction of a ramp leading up to the front entrance for ADA access; the ramp would
be parallel to the facade; the original steps to the front door would remain
• Construction of a lean-to trash enclosure on the west elevation
*The provided set of plans does not indicate the infill of these three windows, but it was
brought to GA’s attention by G4 that this may be a possibility. For the purposes of this review,
it was assumed by GA that these three windows are to be infilled, and they are addressed as
such in the following discussion.
APPLYING THE STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION TO 201 BADEN AVENUE
Compliance
The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation lists 10 key elements to consider
when new uses or architectural modifications are undertaken within historic resources. The
following presents these 10 standards and briefly discusses the level of compliance of the
proposed project at 201 Baden Avenue, South San Francisco. For each Standard, a level of
compliance is given: Compliant, Marginally Compliant, or Not Compliant. A compliant rating
indicates that the alteration has little or no impact on the resource. A marginally compliant rating
indicates that the overall historical significance of the resources is not impacted enough to
warrant re-evaluation, but modifications to the proposed design are strongly recommended.
Not compliant indicates that the proposed design would severely negatively impact the resource
and its eligibility for formal listing on a local, state, or national inventory.
1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal
change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment.
The building has not been used as a fire station as it was historically since 2006. Since
then, it has been used for storage.5 The project under review proposes to convert the
building into a multi-tenant office space. The conversion to office spaces would require
minimal changes to the character-defining features of the building, including the infill of
select windows and doors, replacement of existing non-contributing apparatus bay

doors, replacement of two deteriorated historic steel windows, and the installation of an
ADA ramp leading to the front entrance of the building.
Overall, the proposed project is compliant with Standard 1.
2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic
materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.
The property at 201 Baden Avenue was determined eligible for listing on the CRHR
under Criterion 1 (Events). This is due to the building’s association with the
development of modern municipal services and civic buildings in the City of South San
Francisco, and because it was the City’s first purpose-built fire station, originally known
as Central Station. This association will not be affected by the new design and the
building will retain eligibility under Criterion 1.
201 Baden was also determined eligible for listing on the CRHR under Criterion 3
(Architecture). The building’s eligibility was determined based on its concrete structure,
restrained ornamentation, and distinct massing that embody characteristics of the fire
station typology that evolved from early high-style urban fire houses, to more utilitarian
examples completed during the mid-twentieth century, that accommodated larger fire
engines, hose drying and drill towers, and space for staff. The project under review does
not propose any changes to the building’s concrete structure, restrained ornamentation,
or overall massing.
The proposed project calls for the infill of select windows and doors. Infill of windows
would include both replacement aluminum windows and historic steel windows. While
the aluminum windows themselves are not contributing, the window openings and
horizontal banks of windows are historic character-defining features. The historic steel
windows proposed for infill are primary character-defining features, though they are
not on a primary elevation. None of the doors that are proposed for infill were found to
be character-defining features in GA’s HRE for the property.
On the interior, the primary interior space indicative of the building’s original use as a
fire station – the apparatus bay – would remain open. The use of storefronts with
mullions to mimic the pattern of the apparatus bay doors would help to retain and
evoke the historic feeling of the space. The existing wood apparatus bay doors are not
historic, but the proposed approach to this significant space supports the building’s
historic nature. The drill tower would remain intact on the exterior, although its interior
would be used for storage and restrooms on the basement and first floors, respectively.
The fire poles, which would have been features indicative of the building’s original use,
were already removed sometime before 2019.
The proposed project is marginally compliant with Standard 2, due to the proposed
removal and infill of select windows.
3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that
create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural
elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.
As proposed, the project does not include the addition of any conjectural features or
architectural elements from other buildings. Replacement windows and apparatus bay
doors would replicate the mullion patterns and panel configurations of the existing as

closely as possible. The proposed trash enclosure on the west facade would allow the
historic building form to be read and would still being compatible with the original
design.
The proposed project is compliant with Standard 3.
4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their
own right shall be retained and preserved.
The building was purpose-built as a fire station in 1949. According to building permits,
no major alterations were done to the building between 1976 and 2000. Sometime before
GA began work on the HRE in 2019, several alterations had been made, some of which
were not indicated on building permits. Alterations made before 2019 include
replacement of the original roll-up apparatus bay doors, replacement of some historic
steel windows with aluminum units, removal of the station’s fire poles at the interior,
boarding over or infilling of select windows and doors at the rear of the building, and
removal of an oil fire test pit once located at the southeast corner of the site.6
GA’s HRE found the existing wood roll-up apparatus bay doors and aluminum
windows that replaced the historic features to be non-contributing. Therefore, the
current proposal, including the replacement of the apparatus bay doors and the infill of
one aluminum replacement window, would not be changing any added features that
have acquired historic significance in their own right.
The proposed project is compliant with Standard 4.
5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that
characterize a property shall be preserved.
201 Baden’s historic steel windows and windows set into banks or ribbons to create a
horizontal emphasis were determined to be primary character-defining features of the
building. The proposed project calls for the infill of select windows that would include
both replacement aluminum windows and historic steel windows. While the aluminum
windows themselves are not contributing, the window openings and horizontal banks of
windows are historic character-defining features.
It should be noted that the project under review does propose to refurbish most of the
historic steel windows, including the steel casement windows on the drill tower. Only
two would need to be replaced due to deterioration, and four on the west side of the
main apparatus bay would be infilled. The historic steel windows proposed for
replacement or infill are primary character-defining features, though they are not on a
primary elevation.
Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship
that characterize the property would be retained through the massing, architectural
concrete exterior and detailing, glass block door surrounds, and remaining steel
windows and horizontal window bands.

Page 7 of 10
The proposed project is marginally compliant with Standard 5, due to the proposed
removal and infill of select windows.
6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in
design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of
missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.
The only deteriorated historic features proposed for replacement are the two steel
windows on the south facade. Replacement for these windows is proposed due to
extreme deterioration. Replacements would match the old in design and visual quality,
but the proposed material is aluminum, rather than steel. Although the proposed
material is not an exact match, it is still metal, and matching material is not expressly
required by this standard.
The majority of the other remaining historic steel windows would be refurbished, and a
select few are proposed to be infilled (as discussed above).
The proposed project is compliant with Standard 6.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials
shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the
gentlest means possible.
Retention of existing finishes should be undertaken during construction. Use of
compatible new materials is recommended to prevent cracking at the juncture between
new and old finishes.
As proposed, the project is compliant with Standard 7.
8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such
resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken.
No known archeological finds have been made in the area. However, should materials
be found during construction, a qualified archeologist should be consulted for
assessment and mitigation recommendations.
Based on available information, the proposed project is complaint with Standard 8.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic
materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and
shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic
integrity of the property and its environment.
Replacement windows and apparatus bay doors would replicate the mullion patterns
and panel configurations of the existing as closely as possible. While a certain level of
similarity is needed for a cohesive design, differentiation between the new and the old is
recommended. Differentiation between new and old is provided through the use of
aluminum rather than steel for replacement windows.
Select windows need to be infilled due to structural or code issues; infill would include
both aluminum replacement windows and historic steel windows. Although the infill
165

Page 8 of 10
would result in the loss of historic windows and window openings, the proposed infill
of windows would be inset slightly, so that the location of the historic window openings
is evident. The historic steel windows proposed for infill are also not on a primary
elevation.
The proposed trash enclosure on the west facade allows the historic building form to be
read while still being compatible with the original design. It is differentiated by its
smaller scale and use of materials. However, the location of the trash enclosure would
necessitate the removal and infill of three historic steel windows. It is unclear if this
would be done due to structural or aesthetic issues.
As proposed, the project is marginally compliant with Standard 9, due to the infill of
historic window openings and the removal of historic steel windows.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner
that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
environment would be unimpaired.
If removed in the future, the proposed trash enclosure on the west elevation and the
proposed ramp on the front (north) elevation would not diminish the historic
significance of the property in terms of the seven aspects of integrity. The overall
massing, scale, materiality, and design would be unimpaired by the proposed new
additions. No other new additions or new construction are proposed at this time.
The proposed project is complaint with Standard 10.
Project Compliance Summary
The proposed project at 201 Baden Avenue is compliant with Standards 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10
and it is marginally compliant with Standards 2, 5, and 9. Overall compliance is not necessarily
a direct sum of the level of compliance with each individual standard, however that information
is weighed with the overall impact on both the design and historical significance of the
resource. Depending on the reasons for significance and the level of importance of the resource,
different levels of overall compliance may result. For 201 Baden Avenue, Garavaglia
Architecture, Inc. finds the proposed project to be compliant overall.
Inclusion of a minor modification is suggested to decrease the impact on the historic resource
and raise its proposed design into compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards.
Suggested Modification to Proposed Project
Proposed Infill of Steel Windows
The proposed infill of the three historic steel windows next to the proposed trash enclosure
should be avoided if possible. It is unclear if this would be needed due to structural or aesthetic
purposes. If based on structural issues, this should be noted, and the proposed infill of the three
windows in question should be indicated on the final drawing set. If solely based on aesthetic
reasons, the necessity for infill should be re-evaluated and reconsidered by the architect so that
the building might retain as many historic windows as possible.
Conclusion
Garavaglia Architecture, Inc. concludes that the proposed project at 201 Baden Avenue is
compliant with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The majority of
character-defining features, such as the distinctive massing, architectural concrete exterior, glass
166

block door surrounds, and most of the remaining historic steel windows would be retained by
the proposed project. More careful consideration of the infill of three historic steel windows on
the west facade could bring the project more fully into compliance with the Standards.

1. Introduction
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is a combination of services, incentives, facilities, and
actions that reduce single–occupant vehicle (SOV) trips to help relieve traffic congestion, parking
demand, and air pollution problems. The purpose of TDM is to (1) reduce the amount of traffic
generated by new development; (2) promote more efficient utilization of existing transportation facilities
and ensure that new developments are designed to maximize the potential for alternative transportation
usage; (3) reduce the parking demand generated by new development and allow for a reduction in
parking supply; and (4) establish an ongoing monitoring and enforcement program to guarantee the
desired trip and parking reductions are achieved.
The main purpose of the proposed TDM plan for the proposed Firehouse Work (FHW), LLC project is to
evaluate the parking reduction requirements outlined in Section 20.330.007 (Downtown Parking) of the
South San Francisco Municipal Code. The code states that for the Downtown Parking District, the
Planning Commission shall review any request for a reduction in the number of required parking spaces
and make a determination whether there is sufficient parking within the District to accommodate the
proposed use. As the project proposes to provide less on-site parking than what is typically required for
downtown commercial developments, the project will implement a TDM program to encourage
alternative modes of travel and offset the on-site parking deficit.
Project Description
The proposed FHW project will repurpose the existing two-story Firehouse station located at 201 Baden
Avenue in South San Francisco into 11,940 square feet of office space, with three different tenants.
The project site is bordered by Baden Avenue to the north and 2nd Lane to the south. Located on the
west side of the project is the Giorgi Bros Furniture Showroom, and on the east side is a KFC/Taco Bell
restaurant. Vehicular access to the site is proposed on the back side of the building via 2nd Lane. The
building frontage on Baden Avenue is proposed to include landscaping and wide sidewalks. Only
pedestrian access will be provided on Baden Avenue. The project site location and the surrounding
study area are shown on Figure 1.
The project is located in the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan area, which covers properties within
0.5 miles of the City’s Caltrain Station. The City of South San Francisco completed the Downtown
Station Area Specific Plan (DSASP) and EIR that was adopted in February 2015. The land uses
proposed for this project are consistent with those set forth in the DSASP EIR.
Downtown Location and Proximity to Transit
Also called location efficiency, the location of a project within or adjacent to a central business district
promotes pedestrian and bicycle travel in a high-density area of complementary land uses. The project
194
Firehouse Work, LLC – Transportation Demand Management Plan May 10, 2022
Page | 2
is located in the Downtown Transit Core (DTC) and will provide development within a ¼ -mile radius of
the Caltrain Station, which will promote ridership and reduce emissions. Also, the project site is located
within one quarter mile of four SamTrans bus routes. Chapter 2 describes the existing transit services
in the study area.
Report Organization
The remainder of this report is divided into three chapters. Chapter 2 describes the transportation
facilities and services in the vicinity of the project site. Chapter 3 describes the parking proposed by the
project. Chapter 4 presents the TDM plan that is recommended for the proposed project, including the
program for implementing and monitoring the TDM plan.

2. Existing Transportation Facilities
Transportation facilities and services that support sustainable modes of transportation include
SamTrans bus routes, BART, Caltrain, shuttles, pedestrian facilities, and bicycle facilities. This chapter
describes the existing facilities and services near the 201 Baden Avenue project site. Information on the
nearby roadway network is also included in order to provide a more comprehensive description of the
nearby transportation network.
Roadway Network
Regional access to the project study area is provided by US 101.
US 101 is a north-south major freeway through eastern San Mateo County between San Francisco and
San Jose. It is the primary north/south route connection to I-280 and I-80 north of South San Francisco.
US-101 is typically congested in both directions during both peak periods as people commute to and
from San Francisco and the Silicon Valley. Access to the freeway from the project site is provided via
interchanges at Miller Avenue, Airport Boulevard, and Grand Avenue.
The following roadways provide local access to the site:
Airport Boulevard is a major north/south arterial route through South San Francisco parallel to US-101.
North of Grand Avenue, Airport Boulevard has two travel lanes in each direction. Airport Boulevard
provides access to the site via Baden Avenue.
Baden Avenue is primarily a two-lane local roadway that extends from Chestnut Avenue in the west to
Airport Boulevard in the east. It is a four-lane roadway between Linden Avenue and Airport Boulevard
with no on-street parking. The project frontage is located along Baden Avenue with only pedestrian
access provided along Baden Avenue. No vehicular access will be provided on Baden Avenue.
Grand Avenue is a two- to six-lane roadway that extends from Mission Road to its termination point at
Point San Bruno Park. West of US-101, Grand Avenue has one travel lane in each direction with on-
street angled parking on both sides of the street.
Linden Avenue is a two-lane local roadway that extends north from San Mateo Avenue at the city limits
and terminates at Airport Boulevard. There are traffic signals at most major intersections, with the
remainder of its intersections controlled by stop signs. Linden Avenue intersects Baden Avenue, Grand
Avenue, and Miller Avenue in the vicinity of the project site.
197
Firehouse Work, LLC – Transportation Demand Management Plan May 10, 2022
Page | 5
2nd Lane is a one-way (eastbound) local roadway that extends east from Chestnut Avenue to Airport
Boulevard. On-street parking is generally provided on the north side of the street. Vehicular access to
the proposed project is provided on the backside of the project via 2nd Lane.
Existing Bicycle Facilities
Bicycle facilities include bike paths, bike lanes, and bike routes. Bike paths (Class I facilities) are
pathways, separate from roadways, which are designated for use by bicycles. Often, these pathways
also allow pedestrian access. Bike lanes (Class II facilities) are lanes on roadways designated for use
by bicycles with special lane markings, pavement legends, and signage. Bike routes (Class III) are
existing rights-of-way that accommodate bicycles but are not separate from the existing travel lanes.
Routes are typically designated only with signs.
According to the Bicycle Master Plan, the City has 48.3 miles of existing bikeways, though most of them
are not signed (see Figure 2). Transit stations, schools, parks and retail centers are all accessible by
these bikeways. The following bicycle facilities exist in the project study area.
Class I Bikeway (Multi-Use Path)
• Grand Avenue has a bike path that extends from Industrial Way, crosses over East Grand
Avenue and ends at Harbor Way. This path connects to Class II bike lanes that begin on
Gateway Boulevard south of Grand Avenue.
Class II Bikeway (Bike Lane)
• Airport Boulevard has Class II bike lanes in both directions that begin north of Miller Avenue
and connect to the Class III bicycle routes on Miller Avenue and Linden Avenue.
• Gateway Boulevard has Class II bike lanes in both directions that begin south of Grand
Avenue and extend to South Airport Boulevard.
• Grand Avenue has Class II bike lanes in both directions that begin west of Spruce Avenue and
connect to the Class III bicycle route on Spruce Avenue.
• Railroad Avenue has a Class II bike lane in the eastbound direction that extends east from
Spruce Avenue to Maple Avenue, after which it becomes a Class III bicycle route with sharrows.
This lane connects to the Class III bicycle route on Spruce Avenue.
Class III Bikeway (Bike Route)
• San Mateo Avenue is a Class III bicycle route without sharrow markings. The route extends
from Airport Boulevard past South Linden Avenue, connecting to the Class III bicycle route on
Linden Avenue.
• Linden Avenue is a Class III bicycle route without sharrow markings. The route extends south
from Airport Boulevard to San Mateo Avenue.
• Spruce Avenue is a Class III bicycle route with sharrow markings between Grand Avenue and
Victory Way. The route connects to Class II bicycle lanes on Grand Avenue.
The City of South San Francisco adopted its Citywide bicycle master plan in 2010, the goal of which is
to expand the bicycle network to make it easier and safer for people to bicycle through the City. In the
198
Firehouse Work, LLC – Transportation Demand Management Plan May 10, 2022
Page | 6
project vicinity, bike lanes are planned in both directions on Airport Boulevard between Miller Avenue
and San Mateo Avenue. Bike lanes are also planned in both directions on Grand Avenue between
Spruce Avenue and Airport Boulevard. As part of the proposed Caltrain Station reconstruction, a new
ped/bike rail crossing tunnel is proposed at the Grand Avenue/Airport Boulevard intersection that would
directly connect to the South San Francisco Caltrain station. The new ped/bike tunnel would also
provide a good bicycle connection between the downtown and the employment zone to the east of US
101.
Existing Pedestrian Facilities
Sidewalks are provided on most streets in the immediate vicinity of the project. Sidewalks exist in both
directions on Airport Boulevard and on Baden Avenue along the project frontage. In the immediate
vicinity of the project, crosswalks exist at the signalized intersections of Airport Boulevard/Baden
Avenue (on the west leg and the south leg) and Linden Avenue/Baden Avenue (on all four approaches)
for pedestrians to get to downtown destinations. Pedestrian access improvements are proposed in the
area covered under the Specific Plan and citywide under the South San Francisco Pedestrian Master
Plan. The plan calls for area-wide improvements, such as establishing a Downtown pedestrian-priority
zone, making pedestrian-friendly alley improvements to Downtown lanes, and completing the street grid
to reduce block lengths immediately surrounding the Caltrain station.
The new South San Francisco Station, located directly south of its previous location, is now accessible
from Downtown and Poletti Way in South San Francisco. The station now features a 700-foot center-
boarding platform and pedestrian underpass. Passengers no longer have to cross the tracks to board
the train. The improvements also make the station fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA).
Overall, the existing network of sidewalks and crosswalks provides pedestrians with safe routes to
transit services and other points of interest in the downtown area.
Existing Transit Service
Transit services in the study area include local buses, express buses, shuttles, BART, Caltrain and
ferry service. A majority of the public transit trips through the area are commuters who use the Caltrain
station or connect from BART to Downtown and East of US-101 employers via employer shuttles.
Employer sponsored shuttles connect to employment destinations east of the Caltrain station and other
commuter connections in the area. These shuttles are available to individual riders not associated with
sponsor employers for a monthly fee. See Figure 3 for the existing transit services.

SamTrans Bus Routes
Existing bus service to the study area is provided by San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans).
Bus services to the study area are described in Table 1.
Table 1
SamTrans Services
BART Service
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) operates regional rail service in the Bay Area, connecting between San
Francisco International Airport and the Millbrae Intermodal Station to the south, San Francisco to the
north, and cities in the East Bay. The BART stations closest to the South San Francisco Caltrain station
area are the San Bruno Station located near Huntington Avenue east of El Camino Real, and the South
San Francisco Station, located on Mission Road and McLellan Drive. Both stations are located within 3
miles of the South San Francisco Caltrain station, and SamTrans provides service from the BART
stations to Downtown South San Francisco. BART trains operate on 15-minute headways during peak
hours and 20-minute headways during off-peak hours

Caltrain
Caltrain provides commuter rail service between San Francisco and Gilroy. The project is located within
0.5 miles of the new South San Francisco Caltrain station. The South San Francisco Caltrain Station
serves local trains, with 23 northbound and 23 southbound weekday trains. The South San Francisco
Caltrain Station provides weekday service from 5:10 AM to 12:35 AM, with 60-minute headways.
Previously, the only access to the South San Francisco Downtown used to be from the west side of the
train tracks, via the Grand Avenue overpass. This overpass requires a long and circuitous detour for
people walking and bicycling, who have to cross Grand Avenue and descend either a tall metal
staircase or use Dubuque Avenue. The city in partnership with Caltrain recently completed the South
San Francisco Caltrain Station Reconstruction project to improve safety and connectivity to nearby
businesses. Caltrain passengers are now able to get to the east of Caltrain Station from the station’s
center platform via ramps that connect to a tunnel underneath the tracks. The tunnel connects to a
pedestrian plaza at Grand Avenue and Airport Boulevard on the west side of the tracks and a transit
plaza at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Poletti Way on the east side of the tracks. Buses and
shuttles pick up and drop off Caltrain passengers from the new east-side plaza instead of the parking
lot on the west side of the station, which makes it easier for residents commuting to the City’s biotech
job center on the east side of the tracks.
East of US-101 Area Shuttles
• The Oyster Point Caltrain Shuttle connects the South San Francisco Caltrain station to Oyster
Point, Forbes Boulevard and Eccles Avenue. This line provides service during peak commute
hours, between 6:30 AM and 10:00 AM, and between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM with 30-minute
headways.
• The Utah-Grand Caltrain Shuttle connects South San Francisco Caltrain station to East Grand
Avenue and Utah Avenue. This line provides service during peak commute hours, between 5:30
AM and 9:30 AM, and between 4:00 PM and 6:15 PM with 30-minute headways.
Bus Stops
The nearest bus stop for Route 37, 130 and 141 is located near the Grand Avenue/Linden Avenue
intersection, which is less than 800 feet walking distance from the project site. The nearest bus stops
for Routes 292 and Route 397 going northbound are located on Airport Boulevard, just south of Baden
Avenue, and the nearest stops for Route 292 and Route 397 going south bound are located on Airport
Boulevard, just south of Grand Avenue. The shuttle services can be accessed at the Caltrain station,
which is within walking distance of the project. Continuous sidewalks are present for pedestrians
walking between the proposed project and the nearest bus stops.

3. Parking
The South San Francisco Municipal Code includes parking requirements for office projects within the
Downtown Plan Area (Section 20.330.007). The parking requirements are as follows: 1 space per 400
s.f. of floor area of business and professional office.
The project as proposed would redevelop the existing Firehouse building to consist of 11,490 square
feet of office space. Based on the municipal code, this would require 29 vehicular parking spaces. The
vehicular parking requirements are summarized in Table 2.
Table 2
Vehicular Parking Spaces Requirement
According to the project site plan, the project would provide a total of 5 parking spaces: 4 standard
spaces and 1 American Disability Act (ADA) compliant parking space. There would be a deficit of 24
spaces for the proposed office use. Given the project’s location and its proximity to the Caltrain station,
it is expected that many employees would use public transportation and would not need a car. Also, the
project is required to implement a comprehensive TDM plan, as described in Chapter 4 to encourage
employees to use alternative modes of transportation and to reduce the project’s parking demand.
For employees that are unable to take alternative modes of transportation to commute to work and are
unable to park on the project site, paid parking permits as described below should be provided. Since
paid parking works against the TDM goals of reducing single occupant vehicles, employers should be
encouraged to have employees pay all or part of the parking cost. Alternatively, employers can
implement a parking cash out program. Parking cash out is a commuter benefit in which an employer
offers employees the option to accept taxable cash income instead of a free or subsidized parking
space at work. Given a choice of cash or a parking space, many people would prefer to receive cash.

Paid Parking Permits and Parking Validation. The project applicant or the individual tenants should
provide parking permits for all employees who do not use public transportation to park in designated
City maintained parking lots. The City’s Parking Place Commission manages public parking in
Downtown South San Francisco. Monthly parking is available in the following public lots, which are
located within one-third of a mile from the project:
• Parking Lot #2A at 216 Linden Avenue
• Parking Lot #2B at 216 Baden Avenue
• Parking Lot #4 at 241 Grand Avenue
• Parking Lot #5 at 319 Baden Avenue
• Parking Lot #12, at 337 Baden Avenue
• Parking Lot # 15 at 201 Grand Avenue
• Miller Parking Garage
The project should coordinate with the City on the availability and how to purchase monthly parking
permits for employees. Parking validation should be provided for all visitors. Visitors would park on the
street, where on-street parking is provided or in the public parking lots. Since the project is not
expected to generate a significant number of visitors, the project would not adversely impact the
availability of public parking. It is noted that all on-street parking in the vicinity of the project is metered
with a 2-hour time limit.

4. TDM Plan
The TDM measures recommended for the Firehouse Work project include design features, programs,
and services that promote sustainable modes of transportation and reduce the roadway and parking
demand that would be generated by the project. The City’s Municipal Code requires all nonresidential
development expected to generate 100 or more average daily trips to implement a transportation
demand management (TDM) program to reduce the number of vehicle trips by increasing access to
and use of alternative modes of transportation, including transit, bicycling, and walking. Although the
proposed project could potentially generate fewer than 100 daily trips (based on all office tenants), the
project is required to implement a TDM Plan as the project does not meet the minimum required
number of on-site parking spaces.
The project site is well suited to have a successful TDM Plan based on its location near residential
development and other commercial and retail areas and its access to bicycle, pedestrian, and transit
facilities. Table 3 presents a summary of the measures recommended in this plan in accordance with
the City of South San Francisco Municipal Code, Section 20.400.004, along with an indication of who
should have primary responsibility for implementing each measure. All measures should be
implemented upon occupancy of the building.
Proposed TDM Measures
The following 14 TDM measures, all of which are required by Chapter 20.400.004 of the City’s zoning
ordinance, and 2 supplemental trip reduction measures should be implemented for the proposed
project. All of the measures that are required by the City should be implemented as soon as the project
is constructed and occupied.
Required Measures
Carpool and Vanpool Ridematching Services and Incentive Programs (Required Measure 1). The
Employer Contact should promote the 511 RideMatch service, which assists employees in finding
ridesharing partners who work nearby. The 511 Ridematch service is an interactive, on-demand system
that helps commuters find others with similar routes and travel patterns with whom they may share a
ride. Registered users are provided with a list of other commuters near their employment or residential
ZIP code, along with the closest cross street, email, phone number, and hours they are available to
commute to and from work. Participants are then able to select and contact others with whom they wish
to commute. The service also provides a list of existing carpools and vanpools in their residential area
that may have vacancies.

Designated Employer Contact (Required Measure 2). The project applicant should identify an
employee for each tenant who will be the official contact for the TDM program and should provide that
person’s name and contact information to the City. The Employer Contact will serve as the on-site TDM
Coordinator. Their responsibilities will include organizing and implementing the promotional programs,
updating information on the information board/kiosk, administering the carpool and vanpool
ridematching services, and serving as the official contact for the administration of the annual survey.
Direct Route to Transit (Required Measure 3). The project is located within walking distance of the
South San Francisco Caltrain station. The recently completed pedestrian tunnel connects the station
directly to the east end of downtown’s Grand Avenue. The pedestrian plaza on Grand Avenue is

located approximately 500 feet to the north and east of the proposed project. The project will provide
lighting and landscaping along the project frontage on Baden Avenue to enhance pedestrian safety.
Guaranteed Ride Home (Required Measure 4). The purpose of an Emergency Ride Home program is
to guarantee that employees need not worry about being stranded at work without a car in the event of
illness, family emergency, or unexpected overtime if they carpool or vanpool or take transit. By
reassuring commuters who do not drive alone that they can have timely and paid transportation in the
event of an emergency, this program removes one of the largest concerns expressed by most
employees about using alternative modes of transportation.
Commute.org has created a program that provides employees from participating employers with a free
taxi ride in the case of an emergency. There is no need for employees to sign up for the program in
advance, and the employer only pays when the service is used. The San Mateo County GRH Program
reimburses people who commute to a workplace in San Mateo County for the cost of their ride home in
the event they have an emergency. Commuters can use any form of transportation to get home, such
as public transit, ride-hailing app (e.g. Uber or Lyft), carshare, or taxi, and be reimbursed a maximum of
$60 per trip up to 4 times per calendar year. The Alliance’s website at www.commute.org provides
detailed information on participating in the GRH program.
Online Information Center (Required Measure 5). The project should maintain an online kiosk where
transportation-related information can be displayed. The Employer Contact should post the following
information: transit routes and schedules, carpooling and vanpooling information, information about
bikeways and taking bikes on transit services, and information about incentive programs and transit
subsidies.
Passenger Loading Zone (Required Measure 6). It is recommended that one parking space on site
be designated as a passenger loading zone for carpool and vanpool drop-off and pickup in the parking
lot.
Pedestrian Connections (Required Measure 7). The site is currently well-served by pedestrian
amenities including sidewalks and crosswalks with pedestrian signal heads. Improvements to these
existing facilities, including the widening of sidewalks and the addition of planting strips along the
project frontage to provide buffer between vehicles and pedestrians by the development will encourage
individuals to walk to nearby destinations.
Promotional Programs (Required Measure 8). The Employer Contact should:
• Prepare and distribute new employee orientation packets on transportation alternatives and the
services available to employees.
• Post, email, or distribute flyers, posters, brochures, and other materials on commute
alternatives. The Commute.org can help provide marketing materials.
• Promote special events such as Rideshare Week (October), Spare the Air days, or other events,
such as the Alliance’s “Rethink Your Commute” contest.
• Provide trip planning assistance to employees who are considering an alternative mode.
Maintain a supply of up-to-date transit schedules and route maps for SamTrans, BART, and
Caltrain and be knowledgeable enough to answer employees’ questions.
Showers and Clothes Lockers (Required Measure 9). The project will provide a shower in the men’s
and women’s restrooms for employees who walk or bicycle to work to use free of charge. Providing a
shower and changing rooms will encourage employees to walk or bicycle to the site.
208
Firehouse Work, LLC – Transportation Demand Management Plan May 10, 2022
Page | 16
Shuttle Program (Required Measure Service 10). The South City Shuttle provides free service
around South San Francisco and provides transit connections to SamTrans and the South San
Francisco BART station. This free shuttle is open to the general public. The closest bus stop on this
route is located at the intersection of Linden Avenue and Baden Avenue, which is approximately 300
feet west of the project site.
Transportation Management Association (TMA) (Required Measure 11). The project will be
required to participate in Commute.org, an alliance of 17 cities and the county of San Mateo, which
provides comprehensive and ongoing support for alternative commute programs in San Mateo County.
By joining the Alliance, the Employer Contact need not “re-invent the wheel” to develop an effective
TDM program. All employers in San Mateo County can utilize the resources, incentive programs, and
services provided by the Alliance to promote commute alternatives. The Alliance’s website at
www.commute.org provides detailed information on their programs.
Long-Term Bicycle Parking (Required Measure 12). Providing secure bicycle parking encourages
bicycle commuting and reduces daily vehicle trips. Per the zoning ordinance, for estalishments with 25
or more employees, long-term bicycle parking should be provided at a ratio of one space per 25 vehicle
spaces. The project should provide at least 2 long-term bicycle parking space on site.
Short-Term Bicycle Parking (Required Measure 13). The zoning ordinance requires short-term
bicycle parking spaces at a rate of 10 percent of the number of required automobile parking spaces.
Bicycle parking in downtown districts may be located within the public right of way provided an
unobstructed sidewalk clearance of four feet is maintained for pedestrians at all times. As the project is
required to provide a total of 29 vehicular parking spaces, the project should provide at a minimum
three short-term bicycle parking spaces.
Parking for Carpools and Vanpools (Required Measure 14). The TDM ordinance requires that 10%
of all vehicle parking spaces shall be reserved for carpools or vanpools. These spaces are to be in
premium and convenient locations and should be free of charge. Due to limited parking on site, the
need to provide a designated parking space for carpool/vanpool will be evaluated in the future based on
the interest of the tenants and employees.
Additional TDM Measures
The project should implement the following supplemental trip reduction measures to encourage
employees to use public transportation and to offset the limited on-site parking.
Subsidized Transit Passes. The individual tenants should be required to provide monthly subsidized
transit passes to all employees. This will encourage employees to use transit for commuting to work.
The Transportation Coordinator will be responsible for administering the program. Each employee will
be given a clipper card that can be used on various transit systems like BART, Caltrans and SamTrans.
Clipper is the all-in-one transit card for the Bay Area and can be used on all Bay Area transit systems,
including Muni. The Clipper card can also be used as an access key to Bikeshare by linking the card to
a Bay Wheels (a regional public bicycle sharing system in California’s San Francisco Bay Area)
account.
Telecommuting. This measure provides employees with opportunities and the ability to work off-site.
The individual tenants should allow an employee to telecommute on a case-by-case basis.
209
Firehouse Work, LLC – Transportation Demand Management Plan May 10, 2022
Page | 17
Paid Parking at Prevalent Market Rates. Due to limited on-site parking, paid parking permits will be
provided by individual tenants in nearby City parking lots/garage for employees who drive. Alternatively,
employees can apply this monetary amount towards offsetting the cost of public transportation.
Program Monitoring and Reporting
The project applicant shall submit a final TDM Plan to the City and shall be responsible for ensuring
that the TDM measures are successfully implemented and remain in substantial compliance with the
Downtown Specific Area Plan. The trip reduction measures included in this TDM Plan should be
incorporated into the project.
It is anticipated that, after the project is constructed, an individual from the owner or property
management team within the project will be designated as the Transportation Coordinator and assume
responsibility for the ongoing TDM measures. When any ownership, management, or contact
information changes, the City should be notified of the name, phone number, and email address of the
designated Transportation Coordinator.
The TDM Coordinator should prepare a one-time annual monitoring report of the site one-year after
completion and occupancy of the project site. The TDM monitoring report should include employee
surveys with travel pattern information and use of TDM measures provided by the site to determine
adjustments to this TDM Plan. The report should be submitted to the City of South San Francisco
Planning Department.
Conclusions
The TDM measures recommended to be implemented by the project complement the attributes of the
site location, the site design, and surrounding uses. Such measures encourage walking, biking, and
use of transit. The project will implement all trip reduction measures required by the code. Additionally,
the project will provide subsidized transit passes, telecommuting and monthly parking permits for
employees to park in City designated parking lots in order to offset on-site parking deficit.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The project includes construction of a new 12-story,350-room hotel building,site improvements,and surface
parking at 367 Marina Boulevard.The proposed hotel building is approximately 261,00 sf and 165 feet in
height.An additional 14,200 square feet of building space is anticipated as a future expansion phase to include
an event ballroom and additional meeting space for a total square footage of 275,200.The project would
include approximately 232 surface parking spaces.
The Project is located along Marina Boulevard near the eastern terminus of Oyster Point Boulevard,which
connects to US-101 and major arterials within South San Francisco.The Project includes three driveways or
vehicle access points along Marina Boulevard and a public access trail along the eastern edge of the site
connecting to the Bay Trail.
The project site is 204,742 square feet or 4.7 acres.The project site is currently vacant and maintained as anCity of South San Francisco Printed on 10/28/2022Page 1 of 8

The project site is 204,742 square feet or 4.7 acres.The project site is currently vacant and maintained as an
active construction site after relocation of some landfill material and the regrading of the remaining refuse and
landfill cap and cover.
Land uses in the project vicinity include a mixture of industry,warehousing,retail,offices,hotels,marinas,and
bioscience research and development facilities.The area is also currently separated from most of South San
Francisco’s residential uses by U.S.101 (the closest of which are about 3,500 feet to the west)though some live
-aboard boats are located at the two marinas located on Oyster Point and Oyster Cove marinas in the OPSP
area.
The site is flanked by the existing marina to the north and the San Francisco Bay to the south.The Bay Trail
extends along the southern edge of the site and connects around the end of the peninsula.To the west of the site
a dedicated public open space is planned while to the east are existing commercial buildings and parking lots
with access to the South San Francisco Ferry Terminal.The site is a “Brownfield site”that has been regraded
and capped by Kilroy Realty,the master developer of the specific plan,and is currently sitting vacant,ready for
development.
Proposed hotel amenities include a restaurant,lobby lounge,event ballroom,meeting rooms,fitness facilities,
and roof top bar.Hotel amenities,specifically the restaurant,lounge,and roof top bar,are intended to be
available to the public and provide views both north and south across the San Francisco Bay.
The project site is proposed to be landscaped around the perimeter and throughout the proposed hotel building.
The planting palette focuses on evergreen,dense screening trees and shrubs along the perimeter of outdoor
spaces to protect against the cold winds while still providing a lush,water-wise garden aesthetic in the central
program areas.When possible,materials such as permeable pavers,flag stone,decomposed granite and gabion
walls will be used as part of the design vocabulary.These planting and hardscape design philosophies are seen
throughout the site.
BACKGROUND
The Project is located within the Oyster Point Specific Plan area,an 81 acre redevelopment in South San
Francisco approved in 2011.The OPSP included replacing the existing 403,212 square feet of light
industrial/office space known as the Oyster Point Business Park with an up to 2,300,000 square foot
office/research and development (R&D)development,improvements to the site circulation,utilities,and the
landfill cap,provision of a flexible use recreation area and bay-front open space,and replacement of uses in the
Oyster Point Marina area,potentially including one or two hotels with an aggregate of up to 350 rooms.The
Specific Plan’s Phase One buildings (660,000 square feet)were completed in early 2022,while remaining
phases are underway.
The approximately 85-acre OPSP site is located about 3/4 of a mile east of U.S.101,at the eastern end (Bay
side)of Oyster Point and Marina Boulevards.The OPSP is part of the City of South San Francisco’s “East of
101”planning area,the traditional and continued core of South San Francisco’s industrial and technological
businesses.The East of 101 area consists of roughly 1,700 acres of land bound by San Francisco Bay on the
east side,U.S.101 and railway lines on the west,the City of Brisbane and San Francisco Bay on the north,and
San Francisco International Airport on the south.

ZONING CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS
The site is zoned Oyster Point Specific Plan and the project is consistent with the development standards
established for the Oyster Point Specific Plan zoning district.While the project requires a Use Permit for the
hotel reduced parking;these entitlement requests are permitted in the City’s code when a project satisfies the
findings to approve the entitlements.The Findings for approval of the requested entitlements for the hotel
project are supported and documented in the staff report,findings,and conditions of approval for the project.
As conditioned,the proposed project is compliant with all development standards and regulations and
provisions for entitlements in the City’s Municipal Code.

REQUESTED ENTITLEMENTS
As required by the South San Francisco Municipal Code (SSFMC),the proposed project requires the following
entitlements:
·Design Review for the proposed hotel building and site improvements;
·Use Permit for the proposed parking reduction,
·Transportation Demand Management plan for a nonresidential project resulting in more than 100
average daily trips.
·Development Agreement for business terms
All signage for the proposed hotel will be applied for under separate permits.
Design Review (SSFMC 20.480)
The project was reviewed by the City’s Development Review Board (DRB)on May 17,2022.The DRB liked
the design concept and recommended approval with conditions due to the project’s well thought out
architecture and landscape design as evident in the building elevations and landscape materials.The Board
commented the design is beautiful,the lighting is wonderful,and the outdoor space is well designed for wind
and the SSF climate
The DRB also provided input and feedback to the applicant regarding landscaping,screening service areas and
parking stalls and ramps,landscaping and retaining walls.The applicant has revised the plans in response to
the DRB’s comments and concerns.
The proposed project was reviewed and recommended for approval to the Planning Commission by the DRB
because the proposed hotel building and site improvements are consistent with the City’s applicable design
guidelines, including but not limited to the following:
·The proposed hotel building includes adequate design features to create architectural interest and avoid
a large-scale, bulky and “box-like” appearance.
·Long facades are broken up into smaller visual components through variations in form and texture.
·Wall planes are varied and exterior building walls vary in depth and/or direction.
·Building walls exhibit offsets,recesses,or projections with significant depth,or a repeated pattern of
offsets, recesses, or projections of smaller depth.
·There is variety in height and roof forms.Building height is varied so that portions of the building have
a change in height and are varied over different portions of the building through changes in the roof
parapets, elevators and stairway projections.
·The building façade incorporates details such as window recesses and changes in material.The use of
materials, textures, and colors enhance architectural interest and emphasize details and changes in plane.
·Some of the architectural features of the main façade are incorporated into the rear and side elevations.
The hotel is designed in such a way to maximize bay views while providing protected amenity spaces from the
prevailing winds.The hotel massing steps back as it raises to the higher floors,providing suite terraces and a

break from the vertically on the ends.
The proposed materials consist of two-tones of darker bronze and champagne bronze anodized metal panels
accented through darker grey metal panels.Two different glazing tints are considered,a vision glass to pair
with the bronze panels and a darker blue glazing to pair with the dark grey metal.The combination of these
materials provide contrast in the massing forms and help further break up the façade of the tower.At the base
of the hotel,a split face,dry stacked stone base helps break up massing and integrate it into the landscape
amenities.Site walls are executed using gabion walls to prevent site settlement cracks that may occur due to
the nature of the soil’s conditions.
While the location and views are a premium resource,the environmental factors of harsh winds,cold climate
and poor soil conditions were also taken into account by the design.To work with these conditions,the planting
palette focuses on evergreen,dense screening trees and shrubs along the perimeter of outdoor spaces to protect
against the cold winds while still providing a lush,water-wise garden aesthetic in the central program areas.
When possible,materials such as permeable pavers,flag stone,decomposed granite and gabion walls will be
used as part of the design vocabulary.These planting and hardscape design philosophies are seen throughout
the site
Use Permit for Reduced Parking for Airport-Oriented Hotels and Motels 20.330.006(C)
For airport-oriented hotels a Use Permit may be approved for a reduced off-street parking ratio if the applicant
provides substantial justification. Justification shall take into account the following factors and conditions:
1.Distance the hotel or motel is located from the airport.Airport-oriented hotels and motels are usually
located no further than three miles from the San Francisco International Airport.The proposed Hotel would be
located within three miles of the San Francisco International (SFO) Airport’s border.
2.Availability of airport bus and/or limousine service.The location of this hotel will be served by various
airport shuttle, bus and limousine services.
3.Proximity of auto rental agencies to the site.Additional parking may be required for rental facilities on
the site.Since San Francisco International Airport is located in close proximity to the hotel there are many
rental car services nearby.There are approximately 6-8 car rental facilities all within less than 3 miles of the
proposed hotel.
4.Availability of parking facilities adjoining the site which have peak use hours different from peak hours
of the hotel or motel.In the project vicinity there is a combination of several large scale public and private
surface parking lots which would have alternate parking peaks from the hotel.
5.Documentation of actual use of parking spaces at an existing and comparable facility for an extended
period of time.Parking demand estimated using standard rates published by ITE in Parking Generation,5th
Edition is expected to be 259 parking spaces,a deficit of 27 spaces.However,with the implementation of the
TDM plan measures,discussed further in the following section,the proposed parking supply is expected to be
adequate.
6.Availability of on-site meeting rooms and conference facilities.The project as proposed would provide
approximately 14,300 square feet of on-site meeting rooms and conference facilities.

7.Designation of additional parking spaces to allow for extended parking for guests using the airport.As
proposed,the Hotel would not be providing extended parking (e.g.,for long-term airport parking).As proposed,
the Hotel would not be providing extended parking (e.g.,for long-term airport parking).As proposed,the
parking stalls would be solely for overnight guests and employees.
8.In determining the required number of off-street parking spaces needed for an airport-oriented hotel or
motel,the Planning Commission shall include provisions for additional off-street parking spaces to serve
employee needs at the rate of one-half space per employee and for related uses such as restaurants and
conference/meeting rooms.As calculated the provided parking includes parking spaces to serve employee
needs and any ancillary uses.
As documented above, the project satisfies the conditions for reduced parking for airport oriented hotels.
The project proposes a reduction in the number of required parking spaces on site and is projected to be able to
meet parking demand with the implementation of the Transportation Demand Management plan and as
discussed in the Parking Study.
Transportation Demand Management Plan (20.400.006)
A Transportation Demand Management program is required for a nonresidential project resulting in more than
100 average daily trips to reduce the amount of traffic generated by new nonresidential development.
According to the transportation assessment,the proposed project is expected to generate an average of 2,798
trips per day, including 161 total trips during the a.m. peak hour and 207 total trips during the p.m. peak hour.
The Transportation Demand Management plan for the proposed hotel outlines numerous trip reduction
measures applicable to both guests and employees including but not limited to subsidized transit passes for
employees encouraging uses of Caltrain,BART,SF Bay Ferry and SamTrans services,bicycle storage showers
and lockers and repair,and strategies to reduce employee commutes such as carpool/vanpool ridematching,
guaranteed ride home programs,and free parking for carpool/vanpools just to name a few.All of these and
more trip reduction measures discussed in the project TDM plan are feasible and relevant to the operation of the
proposed hotel land use and it’s guests and employees.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project site is within the area planned for development as a part of the 2011 Oyster Point Specific Plan and
associated 2011 Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse Number 2010022070).The current project
is located on the eastern peninsula portion of the 85-acre OPSP area,including the area identified in the in the
OPSP as the Future Hotel Site.
Consistent with the OPSP and its associated EIR,a 350-room hotel is currently being proposed.The current
project proposes up to 275,200 square feet of area,including approximately 12,000 square feet of restaurant
space plus other amenities common for a hotel use including an entry lobby with lounge,meeting rooms,
fitness facilities,roof top bar,and the associated back of house facilities to service the amenities.This total
square footage also includes an additional 14,200 square feet of building space proposed as a future expansion
phase to include an event ballroom and additional meeting space.The exterior space includes parking and
circulation elements, landscaping, and outdoor terraces and event spaces.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15168 provide that when a
Programmatic EIR has been prepared and certified,later activities (such as the current project)determined by
the lead agency as being within the scope of the that EIR do not require subsequent environmental review when
the project meets the criteria outlined in Section 15162.
CEQA Guidelines section 15183 provides that projects consistent with the development density established by
existing zoning policies or community plan for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional
environmental review,except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant
effects that are peculiar to the project or its site.
The environmental checklist prepared for the project dated October 2022 concludes that the project is within
the analysis outlined in the 2011 EIR and that as applied to the project, the criteria outlined in Sections 15162
and 15168 do not necessitate preparation of an additional environmental document. The environmental
checklist also demonstrates that the proposed project qualifies for streamlining under CEQA Guidelines Section
15183 as there are no project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. The
checklist serves as substantial evidence that the current project is within the scope of the previous analysis and
that subsequent CEQA analysis is not required for the proposed project.
CONCLUSION
The project,as conditioned,is compliant with the City’s Municipal Code,Development Standards and Design

Project Description - Oyster Point Hotel
Revised: June 27, 2022
Prepared by SB Architects on behalf of Ensemble Real Estate Investments
1. Introduction:
Ensemble Real Estate Investments (“Applicant”) proposes to develop a full-service hotel on the
peninsula of Oyster Point designated within South San Francisco specific plan (formal address
yet to be assigned). The applicant seeks approval of the Precise Plan (“Entitlements”) by the end
of 2022 with the intent of submitting to the building department for permit approval by the end
of 2023. The project intends to service the Oyster Point developments currently under
construction or planned to be built by Kilroy Reality while also providing public amenities to the
broader community East of the 101 area.
2. Setting:
The property is approximately 204,742 square foot parcel (4.70 acres; APN: 015-011-350) that
sits on the peninsula of the Oyster Point specific plan and is dedicated for a future hotel
development. The site is flanked by the existing marina to the north and the San Francisco Bay
to the south. The Bay Trail extends along the southern edge of the site and connects around the
end of the peninsula. To the west of the site a dedicated public open space is planned while to
the east are existing commercial buildings and parking lots with access to the South San
Francisco Ferry Terminal. The site is a “Brownfield site” that has been regraded and capped by
Kilroy Reality, the master developer of the specific plan, and is currently sitting vacant, ready for
development.
3. Proposed Project
a. Project Features
The proposed project would consist of 350 hotel rooms, restaurant, lobby lounge, event
ballroom, meeting rooms, fitness facilities, roof top bar and the associated back of house
facilities to service the amenities. Hotel amenities, specifically the restaurant, lounge, and
roof top bar, are intended to be available to the public and provide views both north and
south across the San Francisco bay. A dedicated arrival for the restaurant from outside
guests is currently considered adjacent to a new pedestrian connection that connects the
southern Bay Trail to the South San Francisco Ferry Terminal.
219
In total the gross building area is approximately 254,000 square feet in habitable area and
will provide a total of 207 parking spaces of which 148 will be uncovered surface parking
spaces and 59 covered parking spaces (40 of which will be valet operated as a mechanically
stacked system). A screened loading dock with space allocated for two dedicated service
trucks is provided adjacent to the back of house facilities with access through the central
parking lot.
The building will be classified high-rise at 12 habitable floors with the last floor served sitting
at 119ft above grade. Additional height is considered at the top of the building for
mechanical equipment screening and elevator overruns that will put the overall height of
the building at approximately 148 feet above grade.
Landscape & Site Design Narrative
Oyster Point Hotel is nestled in prime real estate along the east bay of South San Francisco
city. While the location and views are a premium resource, the environmental factors of
harsh winds, cold climate and poor soil conditions allow for creative design solutions.
To work with these conditions, the planting palette will focus on evergreen, dense screening
trees and shrubs along the perimeter of outdoor spaces to protect against the cold winds
while still providing a lush, water-wise garden aesthetic in the central program areas. When
possible, materials such as permeable pavers, flag stone, decomposed granite and gabion
walls will be used as part of the design vocabulary. These planting and hardscape design
philosophies are seen throughout the site and are key to the cohesive hotel guest
experience.
The start of the landscape experience begins at the main hotel entry drive flanked by
specimen trees that greet you into the arrival courtyard. The courtyard features an elegant
porte-cochere and outdoor living room space that transitions guest into the hotel lobby.
This space can also be reached by foot from the street or the adjacent public BCDC trail to
the east through the enhanced pedestrian links.
To the west of the building entrance is the valet parking lot that doubles as a flexible event
space with a pre-function terrace attached to the lobby. The ground plane is a combination
of enhanced concrete pavers, grasscrete and turf lawn which help soften the look of the
valet parking area and provide permeable surfaces for water quality control opportunities.
The edges are wrapped by a mixture of pine, specimen and accent trees which protect the
space from harsh winds and screen any unwanted views of the off-site facilities to the
south-west.
From inside the lobby, guest can look out to the south-east over the hotel’s art garden and
toward the beautiful bay views. This garden area acts as a retreat for the hotel guest which
includes a variety of amenities such as a breakout lawn, fire pit, spa terrace, art moments
220
and group seating clusters. The landscape design in this area is also a much more diverse
and colorful California Coastal Garden Palette that features variety of flowing shrubs and
plant textures.
To the east of the art garden is the multi-purpose event court. This area is mostly a passive
reflection space that can be set up to host a variety of events including wedding receptions,
bayside garden dining, and small concerts. Views are set up along two axes orientated
toward a background of either large specimen trees or open views of the bay. The ground
plane is a mixture of enhanced concrete pavers, flagstone and decomposed granite which
give the space a more organic, natural feel.
Overall, the landscape design aims to welcome guest to experience the outdoor program as
an extension of the hotel’s interior spaces.
Architecture & Materiality:
The hotel is positioned in such a way to maximize bay views while provided protected
amenity spaces from the prevailing winds. The tower steps the massing as it raises to the
higher floors, providing suite terraces and a break from the vertically on the ends. Guests
arrive at an outdoor living room and are oriented on view through the transparent lobby to
the bay beyond.
The materiality of the tower consists of two-tones of darker bronze and champagne bronze
anodized metal panels accented through darker grey metal panels. Two different glazing
tints are considered, a vision glass to pair with the bronze panels and a darker blue glazing
to pair with the dark grey metal. The combination of these materials provide contrast in the
massing forms and help further break up the façade of the tower. As the tower lands on the
site, a split face, dry stacked stone base helps receive the tower and integrate it into the
landscape amenities. Site walls are executed using gabion walls to prevent site settlement
cracks that may occur due to the nature of the soil’s conditions.
b. Requested Approvals
The applicant plans to submit the Precise Plan application by May 1, 2022 and is seeking
approval of the project’s Precise Plan by the end of calendar year 2022.
Pending approval of the precise plan, the Applicant intends to submit the project plans for
construction permit by the end of 2023.
Additional review will be submitted to the FAA for confirmation of building height with
respect to the airport approach corridors.
221
c. Public Benefits
The Project aims to fill the market need, providing a 4-star hotel to service the growing
business developments within the Oyster Point specific plan and surrounding areas. The
project will provide additional function and meeting space while being positioned at an
International Audience for business travelers. The project amenities will provide an anchor
for the community with its food and beverage offerings as well as gathering opportunities
within the lounge and bar spaces.
The hotel can further support the potential for a future ferry terminal proposed by the
South San Francisco City within the marina to the north of the hotel while providing
employment and career opportunities for the South San Francisco workforce.
The estimated tax revenue for the city is projected at $146,349,000 over a 20-year period.

Oyster Point Hotel - DRB Comment Responses
June 30, 2022
Prepared by SB Architects & IMA on behalf of Ensemble Real Estate Investments
Narrative documents the Design Review Board comments addressed from the Precise Plan Submittal dated
04/29/2022.
Design Team responses to the Design Review Board Recommendations dated June 1, 2022
Project No: P22-0014: UP22-0001, DR22-005, DA22-0001
Please see below our corrections in response to the comments.
Item No. Description
Design Review Board Response Narrative
1. The Board liked the rise, terraces, porte-cochere, shape, and flow of the proposed design concept, and
throughout the design was well articulated. The Board commented that the architecture and landscape design
are both thoughtful as evident in the building elevations and landscaping materials.
Response:
• Comment noted, no response needed.
2. The Board also commented the design is beautiful, the lighting is wonderful, and the outdoor space is well
designed for the wind. The Board stated the proposed project is the best design of a hotel the city has seen in
many years.
Response:
• Comment noted, no response needed.
3. The development has an excellent outdoor space for individuals to utilized and is well planned for the wind
conditions.
Response:
• Comment noted, no response needed.
223
4. Review the landscaping plans, as some species will not survive the SSF elements due to wind and cold issues.
• Holly Oak will not work well on this site.
• Coast Redwood will not survive the harsh wind.
• Arbutus unedo is more of a shrub, consider using Arbutus unedo ‘Marina’, which is a successful
evergreen tree in SSF.
• Leyland Cypress is often a short-lived tree in the area.
• Myoporum laetum are attacked by thrips and many of them died or died back severely during the last
big frost.
• Cistus, Rockrose will need good sandy soil, and is often short lived.
• Clematus armandii vine will not take wind. Take care of the orientation if used.
• Liriope suffers from snail infestations and requires additional maintenance.
Response:
• Quercus ilex, Sequoia sempervirens, Cupressocyparis x leylandii, Myoporum laetum, Cistus salvifolius
‘Prostratus’, Clematus armandii and Liriope spp. will all be removed from the current planting palette.
• Arbutus unedo will be replaced with Arbutus unedo ‘Marina’.
• The above is a condition of approval at future design phase.
5. Consider planting clusters of trees off-site on the adjacent vacant parcel and coordinate with the City to plant
beyond the south edge, if possible, for a more organic look and feel rather than a strict line of trees at the
perimeter of the site and parking area.
Response:
• Proposed trees along the perimeters on the hotel site will be laid out more informally and have irregular
spacing to create an organic appearance.
o Adjacent Open Space Parcel: Design Team is working with Kilroy, SSF City and BCDC to
incorporate the required North/South pedestrian connection and will provide landscaping on the
hotel property long side of this. Note that the latest interim design of the open space access
locates a public parking lot and access to Marina Blvd. at the northeast corner of the open space
and would prevent the design team from planting any cluster of trees like what has been planned
adjacent to Kilroy’s Phase 1.
o Northeast Hotel Parcel: Fire Lane access is being revised to provide additional planting at the
northeast corner. Planting along the entire east property line may be limited due to increased
width of fire lane, although the design team is working with the fire marshal for potential
alternative fire access measures.
6. Consider adding ground floor solar panels.
Response:
• Photovoltaic/Solar panels placement are currently considered integrated as part of the roof parapet
screening at the top of the hotel tower. Additional areas can be identified for solar ready locations
pending additional need on lower, southern facing, roof expanses.
224
7. Screen service areas on the façade including but not limited to the trash enclosure.
Response:
• Gabion site walls with operated gates will screen the hotel service dock & employee parking zone. These
will only be opened when vehicles arrive or leave from the service area and will be promptly closed once
able.
• Dedicated loading dock is provided to keep trucks screened further from the service zone.
• Design will provide hedges and vines around trash enclosure, service, and MEP areas in conjunction with
proposed site walls and gates for maximum screening.
8. Maintain the curved corners on the future development and building out on site to continue the nautical look
and feel.
Response:
• Noted, future Phase 2 expansion will include rounded corner conditions, rounded shade canopies and
materiality to match the current hotel design.
9. BCDC will also review and comment on the proposed project including but not limited to the lighting.
Response:
• Design team has coordinated with BCDC on position and design requirements of the required north/south
connector trail. Revised design based on discussion held on June 15, 2022, is being prepared for
distribution to BCDC.

Subject: Development Review Comments on Oyster Point Hotel (Project) April 29, 2022 Project Precise Plan
Staff at the San Mateo County Flood and Sea Level Rise Resiliency District (OneShoreline) have reviewed
the Project documents and offer the following comments:
1. So that the Project and adjacent public and private assets can function under long-term future
climate-driven conditions, the Project’s stormwater conveyance infrastructure should be designed
with those conditions in mind. For areas adjacent to San Francisco Bay, OneShoreline’s objective
assumes six feet of sea level rise.
2. As another aspect of climate change in our area is the occurrence of infrequent, but more extreme, storm
events, the Project should ensure that the first 1.25 inches of rainwater from an individual storm event
remains on the Project site rather than impact adjacent properties. Please provide documentation of the
Project’s stormwater storage capacity.
3. The Applicant should expect that sea level rise protection and enhancements related to trails and the
environment in the Project area will be aligned with adjacent areas of the shoreline. To ensure that
alignment and avoid the need to retrofit and disrupt the Project site, the Applicant should coordinate
with staff of OneShoreline and the City.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input for the long-term viability and success of this important project.
Sincerely,
Len Materman

Consistent with the OPSP and its associated EIR, a 350‐room hotel is currently being proposed. The
current project proposes up to 275,200 square feet of area, including approximately 12,000 square
feet of restaurant space plus other amenities common for a hotel use including an entry lobby with
lounge, meeting rooms, fitness facilities, roof top bar, and the associated back of house facilities to
service the amenities. This total square footage also includes an additional 14,200 square feet of
building space proposed as a future expansion phase to include an event ballroom and additional
meeting space. The exterior space includes parking and circulation elements, landscaping, and
outdoor terraces and event spaces.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15168 provides that when a
Programmatic EIR has been prepared and certified, later activities (such as the proposed project)
determined by the lead agency as being within the scope of the that EIR do not require subsequent
environmental review, unless the criteria set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 triggering
subsequent environmental review are met. This document serves as substantial evidence that the
proposed project is within the scope of the OPSP EIR and that subsequent environmental review is
not required since the project would not have effects that were not examined in the program EIR,
and no substantial changes or new information has arisen that would result in new significant
environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
impacts.
This document also examines the proposed project’s consistency with the OPSP EIR pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, which allows for streamlining the environmental review process for
projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning,
community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified.

III. Background, Purpose, and Organization
Background
The project site is within the 2011 Oyster Point Specific Plan (OPSP) area. The OPSP was originally
approved in March 2011, together with amendments to the South San Francisco General Plan and
the South San Francisco Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 20.230), and the associated EIR was certified
(2011 EIR). The OPSP included replacing the existing 403,212 square feet of light industrial/office
space known as the Oyster Point Business Park with an up to 2,300,000 square foot office/research
and development (R&D) development, improvements to the site circulation, utilities, and the landfill
cap, provision of a flexible use recreation area and bay‐front open space, and replacement of uses in
the Oyster Point Marina area, potentially including one or two hotels with an aggregate of up to 350
rooms.
The OPSP, being a specific plan, was analyzed in the 2011 EIR (State Clearinghouse Number
2010022070) as a whole on a programmatic level. The 2011 EIR additionally analyzed the Phase 1
development on a project level, as project‐level details were proposed for that phase at the time.
Development of office/R&D in the Phase 1 area, including refuse relocation and regrading of this
hotel site, consistent with the 2011 EIR has previously been approved and was completing
construction at the time of this report.
The 2011 EIR for the OPSP is hereby incorporated by reference and can be obtained from the City of
South San Francisco Economic & Community Development Department at 315 Maple Avenue in
South San Francisco, and on the City of South San Francisco website at: http://weblink.ssf.net under
Planning Division/Environmental Reports/Oyster Point Specific Plan.
Purpose
This Environmental Checklist examines the environmental effects of the proposed project to
determine whether the proposed project is within the scope of the 2011 EIR for the OPSP or
whether further environmental review is required. This document has been prepared in accordance
with the relevant provisions of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines as implemented by the City of South
San Francisco.
CEQA Guidelines section 15168 provides that later activities in the program must be examined in the
light of the program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental document must be
prepared and specifies how a program EIR is used with those later activities.
(1) If a later activity would have effects that were not examined in the program EIR, a new
initial study would need to be prepared leading to either an EIR or a negative declaration.
That later analysis may tier from the program EIR as provided in Section 15152.
(2) If the agency finds that pursuant to Section 15162, no subsequent EIR would be required,
the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the
program EIR, and no new environmental document would be required. Whether a later
activity is within the scope of a program EIR is a factual question that the lead agency
determines based on substantial evidence in the record. Factors that an agency may
consider in making that determination include, but are not limited to, consistency of the
234
Page 4 Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist
later activity with the type of allowable land use, overall planned density and building
intensity, geographic area analyzed for environmental impacts, and covered infrastructure,
as described in the program EIR.
(3) An agency shall incorporate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in
the program EIR into later activities in the program.
(4) Where the later activities involve site specific operations, the agency should use a
written checklist or similar device to document the evaluation of the site and the activity to
determine whether the environmental effects of the operation were within the scope of the
program EIR.
(5) A program EIR will be most helpful in dealing with later activities if it provides a
description of planned activities that would implement the program and deals with the
effects of the program as specifically and comprehensively as possible. With a good and
detailed project description and analysis of the program, many later activities could be
found to be within the scope of the project described in the program EIR, and no further
environmental documents would be required.
CEQA Guidelines section 15183 provides that projects consistent with the development density
established by existing zoning policies or community plan for which an EIR was certified shall not
require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there
are project‐ specific significant effects that are peculiar to the project or its site. In such cases, the
City must limit its examination of environmental effects to those that the agency determines, in an
initial study or other analysis:
(1) Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located,
(2) Were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the zoning
action, general plan or community plan with which the project is consistent,
(3) Are potentially significant off‐site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not
discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the general plan, community plan or zoning action, or
(4) Are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new
information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have
a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR.
Notably, If an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the project, has been addressed as a
significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly
applied development policies or standards, then an EIR is not required.
This Environmental Checklist demonstrates that none of the conditions described in CEQA
Guidelines sections 15162 or 15168 have occurred because as proposed, the project would not
result in new or substantially more severe significant environmental effects than what was analyzed
in the 2011 EIR; therefore, no further environmental review is required. This Environmental
Checklist also demonstrates that the proposed project qualifies for streamlining under CEQA
235
Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist Page 5
Guidelines section 15183 as there are no project‐specific significant effects which are peculiar to the
project or its site.

IV. Project Description
Project Site and Vicinity
The approximately 85‐acre OPSP site is located about 3/4 of a mile east of U.S. 101, at the eastern
end (Bay side) of Oyster Point and Marina Boulevards. The OPSP is part of the City of South San
Francisco’s “East of 101” planning area, the traditional and continued core of South San Francisco’s
industrial and technological businesses. The East of 101 area consists of roughly 1,700 acres of land
bound by San Francisco Bay on the east side, U.S. 101 and railway lines on the west, the City of
Brisbane and San Francisco Bay on the north, and San Francisco International Airport on the south.
The area has a mix of land uses, including industry, warehousing, retail, offices, hotels, marinas, and
bioscience research and development facilities. The area is also currently separated from most of
South San Francisco’s residential uses by U.S. 101 (the closest of which are about 3,500 feet to the
west) though some live‐aboard boats are permitted at the two marinas located on Oyster Point and
Oyster Cove marinas in the OPSP area.
The currently proposed project consists of one 4.7‐acre parcel on the eastern peninsula of the 85‐
acre OPSP area, including the area identified in the OSPS as the Future Hotel Site (APN 015‐011‐
350). The project site is flanked by the existing marina to the north and the San Francisco Bay to the
south. The Bay Trail extends along the eastern and southern edges of the site. Existing commercial
buildings and parking lots with access to the South San Francisco Ferry Terminal are located to the
east. While currently vacant following recent landfill debris relocation and recapping/covering, a
dedicated public open space is planned to the west between the project site and the Phase 1
office/R&D development under construction during preparation of this document. The location of
the current project is shown in Figure 1.
The project site is currently vacant and maintained as an active construction site after relocation of
some landfill material and the regrading of the remaining refuse and landfill cap and cover. While
there had been existing buildings partially located at this site that were mentioned in the 2011 EIR,
these were previously removed as part of the prior activities at the site.
Proposed Project
Figures follow the descriptive text showing the project site plan (Figure 2), site programming (Figure
3), grading and drainage (Figure 4), floor plans (Figures 5 through 10), and elevations (Figures 11
through 14).
The OPSP originally envisioned demolition of the existing building and construction of one or two
hotels with a total of no more than 350 rooms plus up to 40,000 square feet of restaurant/retail
uses.
In that same general area, the current project proposes preparation of the site for development by
adding approximately 9 feet of fill on top of the landfill cap followed by the construction of one 350
room hotel. In addition to hotel rooms and related circulation and support, this square footage
includes about 12,000 square feet of restaurant space plus other amenities common for a hotel use
including an entry lobby with lounge, meeting rooms, fitness facilities, roof top bar, and the
associated back of house facilities to service the amenities.
237
Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist Page 7
The exterior space includes parking and circulation elements, landscaping, and outdoor terraces and
event spaces.
The above proposal totals approximately 261,000 square feet. An additional 14,200 square feet of
building space is proposed as a future expansion phase to include an event ballroom and additional
meeting space for a total square footage of 275,200.
Consistent with existing hotels in the vicinity, the project would be anticipated to primarily serve
nearby business and the San Francisco International Airport.
Building Height and Massing
The proposed project would be 12 stories tall, reaching a height of 119 feet above grade, with
allowable rooftop equipment and projections reaching a height of approximately 146 feet above
grade (165 feet above sea level).
The proposed building footprint is 43,043 square feet, which would be expanded to 56,631 with the
proposed future ballroom expansion, equating to about 28% of the site.
Access and Circulation
Vehicular Access: The project proposes three vehicular driveways along Marina Boulevard and a
fourth connection that would act as a fire and service lane.
Bicycle & Pedestrian Circulation: Pedestrian links are proposed between the hotel and Marina
Boulevard and the Bay Trail, which is located adjacent to the east of the project site.
Transit Facilities & Network Configuration: Except for the South San Francisco Ferry Terminal, the
project site is not within walking distance of regional transit service, such as Caltrain and BART.
Access to these services are provided by feeder shuttles operated by Commute.org. Currently, three
commute.org shuttle routes provide service along and to the northern end of Oyster Point
Boulevard and connect the project site with the South San Francisco BART and Caltrain stations and
the South San Francisco Ferry terminal. During the weekday AM and PM peak period, each shuttle
route operates on approximately 30‐minute headways in the peak direction and are timed to
connect with arriving or departing ferries and Caltrain service. Service is limited to weekday
commute periods and directions.
Parking: Approximately 232 vehicle parking spaces would be provided, including 29 tandem spaces
and 33 valet spaces. Parking for 35 bikes is proposed, including 10 for employees and 25 public
spaces. A screened loading dock and yard with space allocated for two dedicated service trucks
would be provided adjacent to the back of house facilities with access through the central parking
lot.

V. Summary of CEQA Findings
Given the substantial evidence included in this document and attachments and the 2011 EIR for the
OPSP, the current project would not require subsequent analysis to the 2011 EIR per CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162, as confirmed by the following statements:
(1) The current project would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) There are no changes in circumstances that would result in the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant
effects; or
(3) There is no new information resulting in a new significant effect or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects, or a change in the feasibility (or acceptance) of
mitigation measures.
While specific details of the hotel development within the OPSP area have now been proposed, this
assessment has determined that no further documentation is required per CEQA Guidelines Section
15162. The 2011 EIR for the OPSP continues to serve as the applicable environmental review document
pursuant to the requirements of CEQA for approval of the current project.
253
Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist Page 23
VI. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
This Environmental Checklist compares potential environmental impacts of the project to the findings of
the 2011 EIR, notes whether the project would result in new significant impacts or impacts substantially
greater or more severe than those previously identified in the 2011 EIR, and includes an explanation
substantiating the findings for each topic. It uses the abbreviation SU for significant and unavoidable,
LTS for less‐than‐significant, LTS w/ MMs for impacts that are reduced to LTS with implementation of
identified mitigation measures (MMs), and NI for when No Impact was identified in the 2011 EIR.
The checklist also lists applicable mitigation measures from the 2011 EIR. A full list of the MMs
applicable to the current project can be found in Attachment A, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (MMRP). More detail regarding the significance criteria used in this document and the
environmental impacts of implementation of the OPSP is available in the OPSP Draft and Final EIR
available from the City of South San Francisco Economic & Community Development Department at 315
Maple Avenue in South San Francisco, and on the City of South San Francisco website at:
http://weblink.ssf.net under Planning Division/Environmental Reports/Oyster Point Specific Plan.
When a dash (‐‐) appears in the checklist below, it means that the OPSP EIR did not identify any MMs
related to that environmental impact. N/A appears when an MM was identified but it does not apply to
the current project (e.g., the project characteristics do not meet the criteria specified in the MM).
As discussed below, the proposed project was designed to be in general compliance with the
development, design, and performance standards of the OPSP, and the project is therefore consistent
with the 2011 EIR. There is no evidence of substantial changes to the circumstances under which
impacts were analyzed in the 2011 EIR, and no evidence of new information of substantial importance,
which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the
time the 2011 EIR was certified, that would show a new or more severe significant impact resulting from
the project relative to the analysis included in the 2011 EIR.

Discussion
Aesthetic Changes from the 2011 EIR
Consistent with the OPSP, the existing building previously located on the project site has already been
demolished as part of prior activities at the site.
Visual models and renderings of the proposed development can be seen in Figures 3 through 5. The full
description of the proposed changes can be found in Section IV: Project Description and was used to
assess aesthetic impacts. The proposed changes can be summarized as follows:
The 2011 EIR did not have any details about a proposed hotel design, other than the OPSP allowing for 1
or 2 hotels with a maximum of 350 rooms. The 2011 EIR included a possible hotel project in the visual
modeling, which included a lower height (75 feet compared to the proposed height of 119 feet) and a
larger footprint than currently proposed. This visual modeling was conducted for demonstrative
purposes prior to details being available and was not intended to represent constraints on the actual
development. The 2011 EIR noted that actual heights would be restricted only to those allowable under
Federal Aviation Regulations Part 77, which this project would be required to be in compliance with.
Scenic Vistas
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change Impact Vis‐1 or the
less‐than‐significant conclusion as there are no scenic vista viewpoints in the area and therefore the
potential to impact views is generally the same as under the 2011 EIR despite revisions to the height of
the building.
While both the San Francisco Bay and San Bruno Mountains are visible from portions of the site and
surrounding area, there are no designated public viewpoints for scenic vistas. The topography of the
area and existing development already fully or partially blocks views from U.S. 101 and surrounding
development. The conclusion of less‐than‐significant in regard to scenic vistas would remain the same
even with the taller building proposed with the current project.
255
Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist Page 25
Scenic Resources
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains NI): The current project would not change the no impact
conclusion related to scenic highways, as the lack of scenic designation of the nearby highways is the
same as under the 2011 EIR.
Visual Character
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains NI): The current project would not change the no adverse impact
conclusion as commercial development consistent with applicable design criteria is not considered a
degradation of character or quality of the environment.
The visual character of the East of 101 area consists of a mixture of older and newer office, industrial,
and hotel buildings, with differing amounts of associated landscaping. Development of the current
project would involve new construction of a modern building with a high‐quality design including private
and public landscaping and pedestrian improvements. While the height would substantially increase
over the existing vacant conditions, the proposed conditions are within that allowed under the zoning
and consistent with other development in the East of 101 area. Therefore, consistent with conclusions
of the 2011 EIR, while the site would look different following construction, the construction of a modern
building meeting or exceeding the City’s design criteria would not result in any new or substantially
more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Light and Glare
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change Impact Vis‐2,
mitigation measures Vis‐2a and Vis‐2b, or the less‐than‐significant with mitigation conclusion as the
proposed lighting levels and potential for light and glare would be substantially the same as under the
2011 EIR.
While the development proposed with the current project has different specific building massing and
location than that included in the visual model for the 2011 EIR, as specified in the 2011 EIR, the project
will be required to adhere to a lighting plan (mitigation measure Vis‐2a) and incorporate exterior
surfaces intended to reduce glare (mitigation measure Vis‐2b). The potential for light and glare impacts
would remain substantially the same as under the 2011 EIR, and therefore the project would not result
in any new or substantially more severe impacts related to light and glare than previously analyzed in
the 2011 EIR.

Discussion
Air Quality Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
Since the 2011 EIR, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) has updated its CEQA Air
Quality Guidelines (BAAQMD Guidelines), which assist lead agencies in evaluating and mitigating air
quality impacts. The 2011 EIR was being prepared as the 1999 BAAQMD Guidelines were being updated
for the 2010 draft and the 2011 EIR compared the OPSP to both thresholds. The latest draft of the
BAAQMD guidelines was issued in May 2017 and includes thresholds consistent with the 2010 draft
BAAQMD Guidelines assessed in the 2011 EIR. Since the 2011 EIR, the Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan
updated the 2010 Clean Air Plan utilized in the 2011 EIR assessment. The latest update to the Clean Air
Plan revises the way in which projects are assessed for consistency and no longer considers the ratio of
population increase to vehicle use of a project to be a consistency factor.
Conflict with Air Quality Plan
Less Significant Conclusion (SU reduced to LTS w/ MM): There have been no changes in circumstance or
new information related to the applicable air quality plans, or the less‐than‐significant with mitigation
conclusion as the potential impacts would be substantially the same as under the 2011 EIR. In addition,
the Clean Air Plan has been updated since the 2011 EIR and now includes different standards with which
to assess a project; while no further analysis is required by CEQA, consistency with the updated Clean Air
Plan is nonetheless evaluated for informational purposes below. Mitigation measure Traf‐1, requiring
implementation of TDM plans, remains applicable and unchanged from the 2011 EIR and would apply to
the project.
The significant and unavoidable impact in the 2011 EIR was based on the previous Clean Air Plan’s
requirement to consider the relative increase in population and vehicle use. This is no longer a threshold
in the current Clean Air Plan. Under the current Clean Air Plan, a project’s impact would be significant if
258
Page 28 Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist
the project would conflict with or obstruct attainment of the primary goals or implementation of the
control measures.
The primary goals of the Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan are:
• Attain all state and national air quality standards
• Eliminate disparities among Bay Area communities in cancer health risk from toxic air
contaminants
• Reduce Bay Area GHG emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, and 80 percent
below 1990 levels by 2050. [This standard is addressed in Section G: Greenhouse Gas
Emissions.]
The current project would be consistent with all applicable rules and regulations related to emissions
and health risk and would not result in a new substantial source of emissions or toxic air contaminants
or otherwise conflict with the primary goals of the Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan.
Many of the Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan’s control measures are targeted to area‐wide improvements,
regional policies, or large stationary source reductions, and these are not directly applicable to the
project. However, the current project is consistent with all rules and regulations related to construction
activities and the proposed development would meet current standards of energy and water efficiency
(Energy Control Measure EN1 and Water Control Measure WR2) and recycling and green waste
requirements (Waste Management Control Measures WA3 and WA4). The required TDM plans (MM
Traf‐1) will contribute to trip reduction programs (Transportation Control Measure TR2), and improving
access/connectivity for bicycles and pedestrians (Transportation Control Measure TR9).
Therefore, the project does not conflict with applicable control measures, is generally consistent with
the Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan, and would not create any new or substantially more severe impacts
than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR. The project would also be subject to mitigation measure Traf‐1
requiring TDM plans for development, which would require trip reductions that would also reduce
resultant emissions.
Criteria Air Pollutants
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change Impact Air‐4
and the less‐than‐significant with mitigation conclusion related to construction‐period impacts or Impact
Air‐5 and the less‐than‐significant with mitigation conclusion related to operational‐period impacts.
Mitigation measure Air‐4b relates to refuse relocation, which has already been completed on the project
site, and is therefore not applicable.
As noted in the 2011 EIR, short‐term degradation of air quality may occur due to the release of fugitive
dust, criteria pollutants, and diesel exhaust particulate matter generated by grading, hauling, and other
construction related activities. Construction emissions from redevelopment were quantified based on
overall areas and building square footages and were found to be below thresholds levels with
implementation of applicable controls detailed in MM Air‐4a. (MM Air‐4b relates to refuse relocation
from the Phase 1 site, which has already occurred on the project site and is not a part of the current
project.)
As noted in the 2011 EIR, development of the OPSP would generate operational emissions from vehicle
emissions and building/site operation and maintenance. Operational emissions were quantified and
259
Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist Page 29
found to be below applicable threshold levels. While not discussed in the 2011 EIR, MM Traf‐1 would
further reduce this less‐than‐significant impact by reducing vehicle trips and related emissions. For these
reasons, the project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts than previously
analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Sensitive Receptors
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change Impact Air‐4
and the less‐than‐significant with mitigation conclusion related to construction‐period health risk. As has
become standard practice for construction projects with nearby receptors, mitigation measure Air‐4c
would be added to further reduce construction‐period health risk. The current project would not
introduce new sensitive receptors such as a daycare facility, which would negate the need for mitigation
measure Air‐2.
Regarding Impact Air‐2 and operational‐period emissions, the 2011 EIR concluded that while the
increased traffic and generators would contribute to area health risks, the contribution would be less‐
than‐significant. The 2011 EIR also concluded that any proposed new sensitive uses (such as if Day Care
Facilities were proposed as uses ancillary to office/R&D developments) would need to implement Air‐2
requiring a site‐specific health risk assessment and implementation of any necessary measures to
reduce toxic air contaminant exposures. A hotel use is not considered to be a sensitive receptor, so
mitigation measure Air‐2 would not be applicable to the current project.
Regarding construction‐period health risk, the 2011 EIR concluded that with implementation of
applicable construction‐period emissions controls identified in MM Air‐4a (and MM Air‐4b which applied
only to refuse relocation activities on the Phase 1 site that are not applicable to the current project), the
impact of the project would be less‐than‐significant. The project would comply with MM Air‐4a and
would therefore not create any new or substantially more severe impacts related to construction
emission impacts on sensitive receptors. In addition, as a best practice, the applicant is committing to
further reduce construction emissions by utilizing construction equipment with engines that meet or
exceed either U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) or California Air Resources Board (ARB)
Tier 4 Final off‐road emission standards. This voluntary improvement measure will be memorialized as a
condition of approval.
Improvement Measure: Construction Equipment Standards and Construction Emissions Minimization
Plan. All off‐road construction equipment greater than 25 horsepower shall have engines that meet or
exceed either U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) or California Air Resources Board (ARB)
Tier 4 Final off‐road emission standards. If a particular piece of off‐road equipment that meets these
standards is technically not feasible; the equipment would not produce desired emissions reduction due
to expected operating modes; installation of the equipment would create a safety hazard or impaired
visibility for the operator; or, there is a compelling emergency need to use off‐road equipment that does
not meet these standards, the Contractor shall use the next cleanest piece of off‐road equipment (i.e.,
Tier 3 Engine with Level 3 Verified Diesel Emission Control Strategy (VDECS), Tier 3 Engine with Level 2
VDECS, Tier 3 Engine with alternative fuel), and the Contactor shall develop a Construction Emissions
Minimization Plan (CEMP) to describe the process used to identify the next cleanest piece of off‐road
equipment and the steps that will be taken to reduce emissions of criteria air pollutants to the greatest
extent practicable. The CEMP shall be submitted the City’s Planning Department for review and approval
prior to using the equipment.

Odors
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change Impact Air‐3 and the
less‐than‐significant conclusion related to odors.
As noted in the 2011 EIR, hotel uses are not the types of uses that generate frequent or substantial
odors and the impact related to odors would be less than significant. Odors from construction activities
would be transient and temporary in nature and also less‐than‐significant; therefore, the project would
not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.

Discussion
Biological Resources Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
The 2011 EIR identified the following categories of biotic habitat/land use on the current project site:
Developed/Landscaped: Comprised of hardscaped roads, buildings, parking lot surfaces, paved trail
surfaces, ornamental, and landscaped areas (typically irrigated with a mulch base), and irrigated
turf, developed/landscaped area provide low or very low suitability for special status species or
habitat. This land use occurs over the totality of the current project area.
California Annual Grassland/Coyote Brush Scrub: Approximately 18.90 ac of the OPSP area are
dominated by California annual grassland/coyote brush scrub. These areas vary in composition
based on water availability and soil characteristics. Non‐native annual grass species are dominant
throughout the annual grassland. Native purple needlegrass, (Nassella pulchra) is becoming
established south of Marina Boulevard near the road along with herbaceous species such as birds‐
foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), flax (Linum sp.), and blue eyed grass (Sisyrinchium bellum).
However, this patch of native grass is too small to be distinguished as a separate habitat type. Some
shrubs such as coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis), toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia), and big saltbush
(Atriplex lentiformis) have become established along the slopes above the estuarine canal south of
Marina Boulevard.
262
Page 32 Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist
The grassland and scrubby habitats within the Project boundaries host a variety of common
invertebrates, which in turn provide food for widespread reptiles and for a number of bird and
mammal species. A western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta) and a Say’s phoebe (Sayornis saya)
were observed foraging at the southwestern corner of the OPSP area. Although other grassland‐
associated species occur in the Project vicinity and may forage in the OPSP area on occasion, this
patch of grassland is likely too small to support nesting pairs of these species. Small mammals and
mesocarnivores including house mice, striped skunks, and raccoons may forage in these habitats,
and several valley pocket gopher (Thomomys bottae) burrows were observed in the grassland in the
southwestern corner of the OPSP area.
Since the 2011 EIR, the project site has undergone identified Phase 1 activities including landfill refuse
relocation and recapping and regrading across the entire project site. The site would currently be
considered an active construction site that was recently fully disturbed and that does not therefore have
the potential to contain significant biological resources.
Special‐Status Species
Same Conclusion or Less than Significant Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM for some species
and LTS for others or is reduced from LTS w/ MM to LTS): The current project would not change Impact
Bio‐6, mitigation measure Bio‐6, or the less‐than‐significant with mitigation conclusion related to nesting
birds. The current project would also not change Impacts Bio‐8 and Bio‐9 and the significance
conclusions of less‐than‐significant in relation to indirect impacts on special‐status species through
recreational disturbance and increased lighting. These impacts and conclusions remain substantially the
same as under the 2011 EIR, as the current project would disturb the same area, involve substantially the
same intensity of development, and would not therefore result in any new or substantially more severe
impacts. Impact Bio‐7 and mitigation measures Bio‐7a, Bio‐7b, and Bio‐7c relate to burrowing owl, which
would not be likely to be present on the project site due to its status as a currently active construction
site and landfill cap and cover and therefore would now be reduced to a less‐than‐significant conclusion
rather than requiring mitigation.
Consistent with conclusions in the 2011 EIR, some special‐status bird species could potentially nest in or
adjacent to the project area but are not expected to be significantly impacted by the OPSP. These
species include the white‐tailed kite and loggerhead shrike, for which there is a very low probability of
nesting, as well as the San Francisco common yellowthroat, Alameda song sparrow, and Bryant’s
savannah sparrow, which have a somewhat higher probability of nesting in wetland vegetation at the
nearby bay margins. The loss of any active nests due to construction noise and activity of protected
birds would be in violation of federal and state laws so would require pre‐construction surveys and
buffers if necessary (Bio‐6), which has not substantially changed since the 2011 EIR.
The project could increase area light levels and recreational usage of the area, which could disturb
sensitive species. However, consistent with conclusions of the 2011 EIR, substantial urban lighting levels
and human activity already occurs in the area and the potential impact of increased recreational activity
and increased light levels consistent with City requirements would be less‐than‐significant.
Burrowing owls occur at scattered locations throughout the South San Francisco Bay Area where low
grasslands and ruderal habitats support ground squirrel colonies. There is no grassland habitat on the
current project site, which is an active construction site and landfill cap and cover. Therefore, there
would not be the potential for a significant impact to burrowing owls due to development of the project
site and mitigation measures Bio‐7a through Bio‐7c would not be applicable to the current project.
263
Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist Page 33
For these reasons, the project would not result in any new or substantially more severe impacts than
previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Riparian/Sensitive Habitat
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change Impact Bio‐1 or Bio‐5
or the less‐than‐significant conclusion as the loss of common terrestrial habitats and habitat for non‐
breeding special‐status wildlife species remains substantially the same as under the 2011 EIR.
As noted in the 2011 EIR, the OPSP site does not contain riparian habitat. Wetland/aquatic and related
habitat is discussed under the Wetland and Aquatic Habitat topic below.
Development of the project site involves already disturbed areas which would not represent a biological
impact. This project site is an active construction site that has been recently and fully disturbed by
landfill refuse relocation and recapping and therefore does not represent a sensitive, valuable (from the
perspective of providing important wildlife habitat), or exemplary habitat type, and so the loss of
potential nesting, roosting, and foraging opportunities at the site is considered a less‐than‐significant
impact consistent with the analysis in the 2011 EIR. The project would not therefore create new or
substantially more severe impacts on riparian or sensitive habitat than previously the analyzed in the
2011 EIR.
Wetlands or Aquatic Habitats
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change Impacts Bio‐3
and Bio‐4, mitigation measures Bio‐3a and ‐3b and ‐4, and the significance conclusions of less‐than‐
significant with mitigation as the potential for indirect impact of nearby wetland and aquatic habitat
remains substantially the same as under the 2011 EIR. Impact Bio‐2 and mitigation measures Bio‐2a
through Bio‐2d would not apply to this project as there are no shoreline improvements involved. Impacts
Bio‐12, Bio‐13, Bio‐14, Bio‐15 and associated mitigation measures Bio‐12, Bio‐13a and b, Bio‐14a
through c, and Bio‐15a through c are related to in‐water construction are not applicable to the current
project because no in‐water construction is proposed.
Development occurring throughout the site will be in close proximity to, and upslope from, sensitive
aquatic habitats. There is thus some potential for operational and construction‐related runoff to have
indirect effects on these habitats and on water quality in adjacent aquatic habitats. Mitigation measures
to reduce these potential impacts to less‐than‐significant levels (mitigation measures Bio‐3a and ‐3b and
‐4) as previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR would apply to the proposed project. The project would not
therefore create new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Wildlife Corridors/Nursery Sites
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change Impact Bio‐10,
mitigation measures Bio‐10a and Bio‐10b, or the less‐than‐significant with mitigation conclusion as with
mitigation requiring appropriate design to minimize bird strikes, impacts and conclusions would be
substantially the same as under the 2011 EIR.
As noted in the 2011 EIR, the OPSP area is located along the Pacific Flyway for migratory birds, and the
juxtaposition of wetland, shoreline, and open water habitats used by birds results in large‐scale
movements of birds along the edge of San Francisco Bay, both during long‐distance movements (such as
migration) and during daily movements between roosting and foraging habitats.
264
Page 34 Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist
Within the current project site and as previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR, there is some potential for
birds to collide during daytime and nocturnal flights with structures such as windows of proposed
buildings. Although proposed buildings are likely to be at a lower height than most migrating birds will
be flying, the 2011 EIR explained that the OPSP would create potential bird strike hazards at elevations
that do not currently exist, and depending on the design of the buildings there is some potential for such
mortality to occur in the absence of mitigation measures. The project would comply with MM Bio‐10a
and Bio‐10b and would not therefore have any new or substantially more severe impacts than
previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
For informational purposes, while industry‐standards for how to reduce the potential for bird strikes
have evolved since the 2011 EIR, the examples included in the measures are not proscriptive and allow
for implementing measures to current standards.
Conflict with Local Policies or Conservation Plans
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change Impact Bio‐11 and the
less‐than‐significant conclusion as there are no conservation plans that cover the site and there are no
protected trees in the current project site, which is unchanged from the 2011 EIR.

Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
There have been no changes to the cultural and tribal cultural resources environmental setting of the
project site.
Since the 2011 EIR, the Native American Historic Resource Protection Act (Assembly Bill 52) was passed,
which is intended to minimize conflict between Native American and development interests. AB 52 adds
"tribal cultural resources" to the specific cultural resources analyzed under CEQA. As had been standard
practice at the time, the 2011 EIR considered tribal cultural resources as part of the cultural resources
analysis, so they are discussed here.
As the current project is being built over capped landfill debris and does not have the potential to
disturb native soil, no additional record searches or tribal contacts were made for this project.
Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources and Human Remains
Less Significant Conclusion (LTS w/ MM reduced to LTS): The current project would not change the less‐
than‐significant conclusion as the site is entirely over capped landfill.
As under the 2011 EIR, the project site is located over a capped landfill site. Construction activities are
not expected to disturb native soils. As noted in the 2011 EIR, there are no known historic resources in
the OPSP area and while currently unknown underground resources could be unexpectedly discovered
during ground disturbance, such discoveries are required to be handled appropriately according to
Section 21083.2 of the Public Resources Code dealing with the treatment and handling of underground
cultural/tribal cultural resources, Section 21084.1 dealing with the treatment of handling of historical
resources, and Section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code/ Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources
Code dealing with discovery of human remains. With adherence to applicable regulations and the low
chance of disturbing native soils on the project site, impacts related to accidental discovery of
cultural/tribal cultural resources would be less than significant. The project would therefore not create
new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.

Discussion
Geology and Soils Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. prepared an updated Geotechnical Investigation,
dated October 19, 2017, which is available as part of the project application on file with the City of South
San Francisco Economic & Community Development Department. Refuse materials from the nearby
Phase 1 office site were removed as a part of that development and relocated to the project site and
surroundings. Refuse that could be reused was utilized as the foundation layer, as well as the former cap
material that was removed in the excavation. Additional fill was imported from off‐site for the clay cap
and erosion protection layers. The current project would be required to meet current rules and
regulation, including the updated California Building Code. These regular updates to regulatory
documents would not change the conclusions of the 2011 EIR.
Seismic Hazards
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change Impacts Geo‐2
through Geo‐4, mitigation measures Geo‐2a through Geo‐4, or the less‐than‐significant with mitigation
conclusion as the known seismically active character of the region and potential for seismically induced
ground failure has not changed since the 2011 EIR. The current project would also not change Impact
Geo‐1 or the less‐than‐significant conclusion related to fault hazards as there are no known faults at the
site, and this has not changed since the 2011 EIR.
Consistent with conclusions in the 2011 EIR, while there are no known faults at the project site, the
region is known to be seismically active and the project will need to comply with the California Building
Code and project‐specific geotechnical recommendations and building permit requirements as detailed
in the mitigation measures (Geo‐2a through Geo‐4). The project would therefore not create new or
substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Soil Erosion
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change Impact Geo‐
14, mitigation measure Geo‐14, or the less‐than‐significant with mitigation conclusion as the potential
for soil erosion and requirement to include best management practices to reduce soil erosion potential
have not changed since the 2011 EIR.
While the site has been graded and the previous structures have been demolished, there will still be soil
movement for landscaping, paving, and other construction activities requiring mitigation, which is
addressed by mitigation measures Geo‐14. The project would therefore not create new or substantially
more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Unstable and Expansive Soils
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change Impacts Geo‐5
and Geo‐6, mitigation measures Geo‐5a through Geo‐6, or the less‐than‐significant with mitigation
conclusion as the need to account for variable subsurface conditions and potential for settling have not
changed since the 2011 EIR. The current project would also not change the no impact conclusion related
to landslides as the lack of potential for landslides at the site has not changed since the 2011 EIR. 2011
EIR impacts Geo‐7 through Geo‐13 and associated mitigation measures Geo‐7 through Geo‐13 are
related to construction in landfill areas and are applicable to the current project site as well. 2011 EIR
impact Geo‐16 and associated mitigation measure are related to Crescent Park and Beach, which is
located outside the current project area and is therefore not applicable to the current project.
268
Page 38 Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist
As noted in the 2011 EIR, soil layers at the project site include regraded refuse and a landfill cap over
varying thicknesses of Bay Mud and sloping bedrock surface, which could result in settlement following
building construction. These variable subsurface conditions will influence the design, performance, and
constructability of foundation systems for the proposed buildings and are mitigated through appropriate
foundation design as detailed in the mitigation measures.
The geotechnical reports conclude that the project site would undergo significant settlement caused by
the decomposition of the refuse, and consolidation and compression of the refuse and Bay Mud from
the weight of refuse, existing cover soil, new fill, and/or structural loads associated with the proposed
development. These processes could result in significant total and differential settlements of the ground
surface and the site improvements. To reduce the potential for settlement of the structure, the
proposed hotel would be supported on deep foundations gaining support in the dense to very dense
sand layer or bedrock beneath the weak refuse and Bay Mud layers. Due to the thickness and depth of
the Bay Mud, extending in some areas as much as 120 feet below ground surface, driven steel piles are
recommended by the geotechnical investigation, with careful implementation to address the potential
for disturbance of the landfill cover and preserve the integrity of the landfill components.
The impact related to the wave susceptibility of the proposed Crescent Park and Beach is not applicable
to the current project because this area is not within the current project site.
Expansive Soils
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change Impact Geo‐15 or the
less‐than‐significant conclusion related to expansive soils as soil conditions are the same and the low
potential for expansive soils has not changed since the 2011 EIR.
Septic Tanks
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains NI): The current project would not change the no impact
conclusion related to septic systems as the project area is serviced by the City’s sewer system, which has
not changed since the 2011 EIR.
Geologic Features
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains NI): The current project would not change the no impact
conclusion related to unique geologic features as the lack of unique geologic features at the site has not
changed since the 2011 EIR.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
As discussed above in connection with air quality impacts, since the 2011 EIR was certified, BAAQMD has
updated its CEQA Air Quality Guidelines (BAAQMD Guidelines), which assist lead agencies in evaluating
and mitigating emissions impacts. The 2011 EIR was being prepared as the 1999 BAAQMD Guidelines
were being updated for the 2010 draft. The 2011 EIR compared the OPSP to those in the 2010 draft. The
latest draft of the BAAQMD Guidelines was issued in May 2017 and includes thresholds consistent with
the 2010 draft BAAQMD Guidelines assessed in the 2011 EIR.
Since the 2011 EIR, the City adopted a qualified GHG reduction plan in 2014, the City of South San
Francisco Climate Action Plan, which includes various reduction measures to meet 2020 reduction goals.
In 2016, SB 32 was passed, which codifies additional target GHG emissions reductions by 2030. In April
2022, BAAQMD issued a new GHG threshold, revising the threshold from the quantifiable level used in
the 2011 EIR to a checklist of compliance, requiring consistency with either criterion A or B as follows:
A. Projects must include, at a minimum, the following project design elements:
1. Buildings
a. The project will not include natural gas appliances or natural gas plumbing (in both residential
and nonresidential development).
b. The project will not result in any wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary electrical usage as
determined by the analysis required under CEQA Section 21100(b)(3) and Section 15126.2(b)
of the State CEQA Guidelines.
2. Transportation
a. Achieve compliance with electric vehicle requirements in the most recently adopted version of
CALGreen Tier 2.
b. Achieve a reduction in project‐generated vehicle miles traveled (VMT) below the regional
average consistent with the current version of the California Climate Change Scoping Plan
(currently 15 percent) or meet a locally adopted Senate Bill 743 VMT target, reflecting the
recommendations provided in the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research’s Technical
Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA:
i. Residential projects: 15 percent below the existing VMT per capita
270
Page 40 Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist
ii. Office projects: 15 percent below the existing VMT per employee
iii. Retail projects: no net increase in existing VMT
B. Be consistent with a local GHG reduction strategy that meets the criteria under State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15183.5(b).
Since the 2011 EIR, the Bay Area 2017 Clean Air Plan updated the 2010 Clean Air Plan that was utilized in
the 2011 EIR assessment. The latest update to the Clean Air Plan revises the way in which projects are
assessed for consistency and no longer considers the ratio of population increase to vehicle use of a
project to be a consistency factor.
The purpose of this document, however, is to determine whether the project is within the scope of the
2011 EIR. Accordingly, this document does not address and is not required to address whether the
project is consistent with regulatory changes that occurred after certification of the 2011 EIR.
GHG Emissions
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains SU): The current project would not change Impact GHG‐1
(combined with Impact GHG‐2) as the GHG emissions of the project were accounted for in the 2011 EIR
and therefore the conclusion remains significant and unavoidable.
The 2011 EIR concluded that the OPSP would have a significant and unavoidable impact related to GHG
emissions. As a hotel project within the parameters of that analyzed in the OPSP and 2011 EIR, the GHG
emissions of the project were accounted for in the prior analysis and the project would not therefore
result in new or substantially more severe impacts related to GHG emissions than previously identified
in the 2011 EIR.
In addition, the project would be required to comply with updated GHG reduction requirements
implemented since the 2011 EIR. Many of the City’s Climate Action Plan’s reduction measures are
targeted to city‐wide strategies that are not directly applicable to development projects. The project is
located near the ferry terminal and would include pedestrian/bicycle connections and walkways and
participate in a Transportation Demand Management program to promote transit and reduce trips
(contributing to Measures 1.1 through 1.3). The project would include new tree plantings (Measure 3.4)
and would meet current standards of energy and water efficiency (Measures 3.1 and 6.1), and would
participate in recycling for waste reduction (Measure 5.1). Development projects in the city, including
those in the current project, are required to complete a GHG Compliance Checklist during the plan
review process demonstrating that all applicable requirements are met. The current project will comply
with the Climate Action Plan.
Further, BAAQMD updated its guidelines since the 2011 EIR. Although this Environmental Checklist is
limited to an analysis of the project’s consistency with the 2011 EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section
15168, the project was reviewed against BAAQMD’s updated thresholds and would not result in
wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary electrical usage (see Section P: Utilities and Service Systems and
Energy), would comply with required electric vehicle requirements and VMT targets (see Section O:
Transportation), and would implement applicable measures from the City’s Climate Action Plan. At the
time of preparation of this analysis, the City does not preclude natural gas appliances and plumbing in
hotel projects.
271
Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist Page 41
Consistency with GHG Reduction Plans
Same Conclusion (Conclusions remains NI): The Clean Air Plan has been updated and the South San
Francisco Climate Action Plan has been adopted since the 2011 EIR but the current project remains
consistent with relevant plans and the no additional impact conclusion remains unchanged from the
2011 EIR.
For informational purposes, the project’s consistency with the City’s Climate Action Plan is discussed
above and the current project would be consistent with that plan. The current project does not conflict
with applicable control measures, is generally consistent with the Clean Air Plan as well as the City’s
Climate Action Plan. The project would therefore not create new or substantially more severe impacts
than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.

Hazards and Hazardous Materials Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
Langan Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. prepared a Final Closure Plan (FCP) and Post‐
Closure Monitoring and Maintenance Plan (PCMMP) for the Phase I and II Development of the OSPS
area, which is available as part of the project application on file with the City of South San Francisco
Economic & Community Development Department. The FCP provides a basis for preparing design and
construction documents for landfill mitigation and monitoring components, such as the final landfill
cover and landfill gas control and monitoring systems. The PCMMP provides a detailed plan for post‐
closure monitoring and maintenance activities during the various stages of development, as well as
establishing the responsible parties for each required activity. As discussed in Section F: Geology and
Soils, Langan excavated the original cap and some of the landfill refuse and regraded the site, re‐using
some of the refuse and transporting the rest off‐site. Replacement fill was imported from off‐site, and a
new clay cap was put in place.

Lists of hazardous materials sites are regularly updated and have been updated since the 2011 EIR,
including the following two additional sites in the general vicinity of the project: Seaboard Paper
Company – 336 Oyster Point Boulevard, and Wildberg Brothers – 349 Oyster Point Boulevard. However,
while nearby sites have been identified as having prior releases of hazardous materials, there is no
reported evidence of active leaks or contamination from these sites affecting soil or groundwater that
could migrate to the project site or represent significant releases in the project area requiring any
additional actions related to the proposed project, so these are not further discussed.
The airport land use plan for the nearby airport has been updated since the 2011 EIR. The City/County
Association of Governments of San Mateo County, Comprehensive Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan
for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport was published in November 2012 including
updated regulations regarding allowable building heights in the project area.
For informational purposes, since the 2011 EIR, the CEQA Guidelines have been updated to include
more detailed threshold questions related to wildfire impacts in its own section. The purpose of this
document, however, is to determine whether the project is within the scope of the 2011 EIR. As had
been standard practice at the time, the 2011 EIR considered wildfire risk as part of the hazards and
hazards materials section, so this topic is discussed here. The expanded wildfire considerations apply to
projects in areas that are very high fire severity zones, which does not apply to the project, so are not
further detailed.
Routine Hazardous Materials Use
Less Significant Conclusion (LTS w/ MM reduced to LTS): Impact Haz‐1 and related mitigation measures
Haz‐1a through Haz‐1e pertain to the use of hazardous materials by research laboratory uses in the
office/R&D portions of the OSPS, and are not applicable to this hotel project.
Operation of the hotel would use common hazardous materials such as cleaning products. State and
federal laws require businesses that handle hazardous materials to ensure that the hazardous materials
are properly handled, used, stored, and disposed of; and in the event that hazardous materials are
accidentally released, to prevent or reduce injury to health and the environment. The South San
Francisco Fire Prevention division enforces certain fire code regulations pertaining to safe handling and
proper storage of hazardous materials. Occupational safety standards exist in federal and state laws to
minimize worker safety risks from both physical and chemical hazards in the workplace. The California
Division of Occupational Safety and Health Administration is responsible for developing and enforcing
workplace safety standards and ensuring worker safety in the handling and use of hazardous materials.
As a hotel use, project operations are not anticipated to create a significant hazard to the public or
environment through the routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials.
This section pertains to recurring transportation, use or disposal of hazardous materials as part of long‐
term operation. One time transportation, use or disposal of hazardous materials related to construction
and development is discussed in the following sections. The project would therefore not create new or
substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Risk of Upset
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change Impacts Haz‐2
and ‐4, mitigation measures Haz‐2, Haz‐4b, Haz‐4c, and Haz‐4e, or the less‐than‐significant with
mitigation conclusion as the potential for accidental future hazardous materials release of pre‐existing
site materials remains unchanged since the 2011 EIR, with the project site being on top of the former
274
Page 44 Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist
landfill. Mitigation measure Haz‐4a has already been met with the clay cap upgrade performed by
Langan (see Section F: Geology and Soils) and Haz‐4d is not applicable as none of the groundwater
monitoring wells are on the project site property. 2011 EIR impact Haz‐3 and associated mitigation
measures are related to demolition of existing structures and are not applicable to the current project
because demolition of the existing building has already been completed on the project site. Impact Haz‐5
and related mitigation measures relate to the potential for accidental release of laboratory chemicals by
research laboratory uses in the office/R&D portions of the OSPS, and are not applicable to this hotel
project.
As noted in the 2011 EIR, due to the former use of the project site as a municipal landfill, there is a
potential for development on the site to lead to an increased rate of on‐site waste settlement and off‐
site migration of contaminants in groundwater. Due to the presence of methane in the soil, building on
the project site present the potential for buildup of soil gases in the building; however, the project
would comply with Haz‐2, Haz‐4b, Haz‐4c, and Haz‐4e and would not therefore have any new or
substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Hazardous Materials Near Schools
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains NI): The current project would not change the no impact
conclusion related to hazardous materials near schools as the lack of schools in the vicinity has not
changed since the 2011 EIR.
The OPSP area is not located within one‐quarter mile of a school site. The project would therefore not
create new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Hazardous Materials Site
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): Impact Haz‐6 and mitigation measures Haz‐6a
through Haz‐6c related to construction on a landfill cap would be applicable to the current project.
Although waste relocation, demolition, and most of the excavation have already been completed on the
site, landscaping and utility placement and maintenance still carry potential impacts due to the site’s
hazardous materials status. Mitigation measure Haz‐6d would not be applicable to this project as there
are no current businesses on the project site.
As mentioned above, Langan has drafted a PCMMP, implementation of which is anticipated to fulfill
mitigation measures Haz‐6a through Haqz‐6c. The PCMMP details measures necessary to mitigate the
potential impacts of landfill gas and that can build up under the soil and potentially leak into the
groundwater. The hotel would be required to include an alarm system that monitors the level of
methane in the building and in the event that methane levels reached a concentration activating the
alarm, the mitigation system would automatically implement active mitigation activities to reduce the
level of methane to acceptable levels. Monitoring activities will be required to ensure the integrity of
the cap and check for groundwater contamination.
Airport Hazards
Same Conclusion(conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change the less‐than‐
significant conclusion, as the proposed heights under the current project remain within height levels
considered safe in relation to the airport.
The airport land use plan for San Francisco International Airport has been updated since the 2011 EIR.
The OPSP area, including the current project site, is mapped in an area where critical aeronautical
275
Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist Page 45
surfaces (the height limits for development) are between approximately 425 and 450 feet above mean
sea level. Structures reaching between 250 and 300 feet or more above mean sea level would be
required to incorporate element to address possible obstructions. The proposed building height of 165
feet above sea level is below these heights. As a project within the Airport Land Use Plan, the project
would be subject to applicable coordination with the Airport Land Use Commission and FAA to ensure
compliance with applicable regulations, and would not therefore create any new or substantially more
severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Emergency Access Routes
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains NI): The current project would not change the no impact
conclusion as the general roadway design and requirements for adequate access have not changed since
the 2011 EIR.
Wildfire
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains NI): The current project would not change the no impact
conclusion as the project site is in a developed area and the lack of wildfire risk in the vicinity has not
changed since the 2011 EIR.

Hydrology and Water Quality Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
The latest (April 5, 2019) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRMs) showed no portion of the project site proposed for development as subject to flood hazards.
The NPDES General Construction Permit Requirements apply to clearing, grading, and disturbances to
the ground such as excavation and has been updated since the 2011 EIR, though these changes are not
substantial as they relate to current project development. All construction and Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) activity would be in compliance with the Construction General Permit Order.
The California Department of Water Resources presented updated sea level rise scenarios in their
California Climate Science and Data for Water Resources Management in 2015. The future sea level rise
scenarios associated with planning and permitting development in potentially susceptible areas in the
San Francisco Bay Area are:
• a sea level rise of 24 inches by 2050; and
• a sea level rise of 66 inches by 2100.
These values represent the upper end of the range of sea level rise estimates and are consistent with
preliminary state recommendations for 100‐year sea level rise. These values are meant to ensure that
projects take these potentially high estimates into account when planning infrastructure and
development projects and have changed slightly from those the 16‐ and 55‐inch assumptions used in the
2011 EIR.
Consistent with Phase 1 development plans in the OPSP and 2011 EIR, the project site has been recently
regraded and recapped such that the ground level at the footprint of the building is approximately 19
feet (228 inches) above sea level.
277
Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist Page 47
Water Quality and Water Plans
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change Impacts
Hydro‐1, Hydro‐2, and Hydro‐3 and mitigation measures Hydro‐1, Hydro‐2, and Hydro‐3, or the less‐
than‐significant with mitigation conclusion as the potential for contamination of bay water due to
stormwater pollutants and erosion or siltation remains substantially unchanged since the 2011 EIR.
Mitigation measure Haz‐4e would also reduce impact Hydro‐1. Mitigation measure Haz‐4a, also listed
under impact Hydro‐1 in the 2011 EIR, has already been completed.
Although the current project would not involve demolition or excavation of landfill materials, as
mentioned in impact Hydro‐3, construction activities at the site would still present a threat of soil
erosion from soil disturbance by subjecting unprotected bare soil areas to the erosional forces of runoff
during construction activities and the potential for increased erosion and/or parking lot pollutants to
impair water quality. These impacts would be mitigated through compliance with applicable permitting
requirements and a project‐specific stormwater pollution prevention plan as detailed in the mitigation
measures for the 2011 EIR. The project would therefore not create new or substantially more severe
impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Groundwater
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains NI): The current project would not change the no impact
conclusion related to groundwater depletion as the project area is nearly fully covered with impervious
area under existing conditions and is located in the former Bay margin and not used for groundwater
supply and therefore development under the current project would not result in the potential for
groundwater depletion, which has not changed since the 2011 EIR.
Alter Drainage
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains NI): The current project would not change the no impact
conclusion as the requirement for control of runoff and lack of potential for changes in stormwater
runoff have not substantially changed since the 2011 EIR.
The project represents redevelopment of a capped landfill. Consistent with the 2011 EIR, control of site
stormwater runoff is addressed by required regulatory compliance and compliance with requirements
would ensure no significant impacts. Siltation and erosion are discussed under water quality above and
flooding is discussed under inundation below. The project would therefore not create new or
substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Inundation
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change Impact Hydro‐4 and
Hydro‐5 or the less‐than‐significant conclusions related to inundation as the project will not place new
structures within the 100‐year flood hazard zone and the potential for flooding due to levee or dam
failure or sea level rise have not substantially changed since the 2011 EIR.
As discussed above, while FEMA has reconsidered flood hazards in the area since the 2011 EIR, the
current project will not place new structures within a 100‐year flood hazard zone and the impact
remains unchanged from the 2011 EIR.
Estimates of potential sea level rise scenarios have increased from 55 inches considered in the 2011 EIR
to 66 inches (5.5 feet) by 2100. The project site has been recently regraded and capped as a part of
Phase 1 landfill refuse relocation such that the ground level at the footprint of the building is
278
Page 48 Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist
approximately 19 feet (228 inches) above sea level. This is above the updated projected sea level rise of
up to 66 inches by 2100 and consistent with conclusions in the 2011 EIR. The project would therefore
not create new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.

Land Use Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
There have been no substantial changes to the land use environmental setting of the OPSP site,
including the hotel site with respect to land use. Development of the area has proceeded according to
area plans and recent development.
Since the 2011 EIR, the City’s Housing Element of the General Plan was updated in 2015 but would not
substantially change impacts or conclusions for the proposed hotel. The entire General Plan is currently
being updated again, but the updated document is not yet in effect and is not anticipated to be
substantially revised in relation to the project site and proposed development. The project would
therefore not create new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
The marine support services building that was previously on the project site has been demolished since
the 2011 EIR, and the project site is currently vacant.
Division of an Existing Community
Same Conclusion (NI): The current project would not change the no impact conclusion as there are no
established communities in the area to divide, which has not changed since the 2011 EIR.
Conflict with Land Uses / Land Use Plans
Same Conclusion (NI): The current project would not change the no impact conclusion as there are no
conflicts with land uses/land use plans, which has not changed since the 2011 EIR.
The current project is consistent with the development type and density established by existing zoning
and the General Plan, as previously updated for consistency with adoption of the 2011 EIR. The OPSP
specified a hotel development to a total of 350 rooms. The current project proposes a hotel with up to
350 rooms. The project is consistent with development anticipated under relevant plans and therefore
would not create new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.

Discussion
Noise Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
The noise environment has not changed substantially from that assessed in the 2011 EIR and remains
primarily characterized by ambient noise, local traffic noise generated along arterial streets and U.S.
101, and aircraft over flights associated with San Francisco International Airport. The types and locations
of noise sensitive land uses in the vicinity has not substantially changed since the 2011 EIR, with the
nearest noise sensitive receptors being live‐aboard boats located in the marinas, which could be located
as close as approximately 325 feet from the edge of the project site.
Noise (Construction)
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains SU w/ MM for construction): The current project would not
change Impact Noise‐5, mitigation measure Noise‐5, and the significant and unavoidable conclusion as
the potential for loud construction activities over long periods has not changed since the 2011 EIR.
As noted in the 2011 EIR, while the project would be required to comply with applicable construction
noise regulations, construction activities, including pile driving, will generate substantial levels of noise
at off‐site receivers over an extended period of time. Construction activities for the current project
would have substantially the same potential for noise under the current project as the 2011 EIR. As
noted above, as a hotel project within the parameters of that analyzed in the OPSP and 2011 EIR, the
construction noise of the project were accounted for in the prior analysis and therefore the project
would not create new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Noise (Operations)
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS for operation): The current project would not change Impacts
Noise‐1 through Noise‐3 or the less‐than‐significant conclusion as the potential for operational noise
impacts has not substantially changed since the 2011 EIR.
As noted in the 2011 EIR, noise levels at a hotel and retail/restaurant site would not exceed the City’s
noise level goal for exterior noise (65 dBA CNEL) as a result of transportation noise sources. Consistent
with conclusions of the 2011 EIR, while roadway traffic and related noise would increase with the
project, the ambient noise level is already characterized by traffic noise and increases from
282
Page 52 Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist
development of the project site would not have the potential to be substantial (would be less than 3
dBA) at noise sensitive uses.
With area development, the 2011 EIR forecast an interior noise level of 35 dBA CNEL at the hotel
assuming standard construction, which is consistent with interior noise standards for hotel uses. The
project would therefore not create new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed
in the 2011 EIR.
Vibration
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change Impact Noise‐4 and
the less‐than‐significant conclusion as the potential for groundborne vibration has not changed since the
2011 EIR.
As noted in the 2011 EIR, the proposed uses are not the type that will generate substantial groundborne
vibration during operations and construction activities are of the type and distance from existing
structures that there is no potential for significant vibration impacts. The project would therefore not
create new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Airport Noise
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change Impact Noise‐6 or the
less‐than‐significant conclusion as the site is outside the area significantly impacted by aircraft noise,
which has not changed since the 2011 EIR.
While the airport land use plan for San Francisco International Airport has been updated since the 2011
EIR, the OPSP area remains well outside the airport’s noise‐affected 65 dBA CNEL noise contour. The
exterior noise environment at the OPSP area resulting from aircraft would be considered compatible
with proposed uses. The project would therefore not create new or substantially more severe impacts
than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.

Population and Housing Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
Local and regional planning documents are regularly updated, including related to this topic, the City’s
Housing Element of the General Plan in 2015 which incorporates the Association of Bay Area
Governments’ (ABAG) Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Updated RHNA numbers are currently
being incorporated into an updated General Plan. As an approved specific plan, OPSP development is
considered as planned development in these planning documents.
Population Growth
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change Impact Pop‐1 or the
less‐than‐significant conclusion as the potential for indirect population growth due to increased
employment has not changed since the 2011 EIR.
While the specifics of employment depend on the exact programming of the various spaces, a hotel of
the proposed size with a restaurant and commercial amenities would be anticipated to support
approximately 200 to 300 employees. As concluded in the 2011 EIR, the project would increase
employment and contribute to the high jobs to housing ratio in the city and contribute to indirect
population growth, but a hotel use would support nearby employment uses and would be consistent
with local and area planning and would therefore not be considered unplanned growth. The project is
consistent with the program previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR and therefore would not create new or
substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
Displacement of Housing or People
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains NI): The current project would not change the no impact
conclusion as there have been no changes in existing residents on the site since the 2011 EIR.
The only current residences in the OPSP remain live‐aboard boats in the marinas, which were found to
not be affected by development in the 2011 EIR. The project is consistent with the program previously
analyzed in the 2011 EIR and therefore would not create new or substantially more severe impacts than
previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.

Public Services and Recreation Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
Area‐wide development has continued throughout the vicinity and public service and recreation plans
and operations are regularly assessed and updated. The SSFPD operates generally out of one main
station (as opposed to having substations), located at 33 Arroyo Drive. The closest Fire Station to the
project site is #62 at 249 Harbor Way, approximately 1.5 miles away.
Public Services and Recreation
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change the less‐than‐
significant conclusion as the potential to increase demand for services and recreation has not changed
since the 2011 EIR.
As under the 2011 EIR, the current project will be served by existing facilities (or those relocated
through separate projects), will meet emergency vehicle access standards, and will pay appropriate
development fees toward public services. The project therefore would not create new or substantially
more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.
While the current project does not include public open space, it is part of the OPSP development, which
as noted in the 2011 EIR, included more than the standard of 0.5 acres of parks per 1,000 employees,
including approximately 3 acres of park and 3.1 acres of bay front open space and would therefore
create more recreational space then demand for recreational opportunities and have a net benefit on
recreational facilities. The project would contribute in‐lieu fees toward the cost of the public parks and
includes a spa and fitness / game lawn and outdoor open space on site for use by hotel guests. The
conclusion of a less‐than‐significant impact with respect to recreation remains unchanged for the
current project.

1 State CEQA Guidelines have been revised since the 2011 EIR such that intersection and roadway specific service level
analysis will be replaced by an analysis of the amount of vehicle miles traveled per CEQA Section 15064.3.
Discussion
Traffic engineers Fehr & Peers prepared a transportation assessment as referenced in this document
and included in full as Attachment B.
Transportation Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
Area‐wide development has continued throughout the vicinity as anticipated under the OPSP and other
area plans and included in the cumulative traffic analysis in the 2011 EIR. The City’s Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) is regularly updated to include needed improvements. Reconfiguration of
the intersection of Oyster Point Boulevard and Marina Boulevard was underway during preparation of
this document per the OPSP as part of Phase 1 development but otherwise, there have not been
substantial changes to the roadway system in the vicinity of the project since the 2011 EIR.
The ferry terminal proposed as a part of OPSP development has been constructed and ferry service is in
operation.
Since the adoption of the 2011 EIR, the California Natural Resources Agency certified and adopted new
CEQA Guidelines in 2018 to implement the requirements of California Senate Bill (SB) 743. Specifically,
SB 743 and the resulting CEQA Guideline section 15064.3 changed the CEQA transportation impact
analysis significance criteria to eliminate auto delay, level of service (LOS), and similar measures of
vehicular capacity or traffic congestion as a basis for determining significant impacts under CEQA. The
changes in CEQA Guidelines to implement SB 743 present vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as an appropriate
measure of transportation impacts.
While the 2011 EIR identified level of service‐based impacts and mitigation measures, these are not
applicable to the current project under current CEQA law and are therefore not further discussed in this
analysis. The City of South San Francisco addresses level of service and capacity upgrades through
payment of the city‐wide Transportation Impact Fee and any other applicable fees and the prior impacts
and mitigation measures Traf‐6 through Traf‐36 would no longer be applicable to the project and are
286
Page 56 Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist
not further discussed in this document. The assessment under subsection b) instead addresses VMT‐
based analysis.
Conflicts with Circulation Plans or Policies
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change the less than
significant conclusion with mitigation measures for Impact Traf‐2b, as the site is adjacent to the Bay Trail
and would therefore require mitigation measure Traf‐2b to ensure trail continuity during construction.
Impact and mitigation measures Traf‐2 and Traf‐5 would not be relevant to this project, as they are
specific to Phase III and IV offices.
As under the 2011 EIR, the current project could result in increased use of area pedestrian and bicycle
facilities and includes enhancement and new connections to those facilities. Identified mitigation
measure Traf‐2b requires continuity of the Bay Trail during construction activities and would be
applicable to the project. The project is consistent with the program previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR
and therefore would not create new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in
the 2011 EIR.
Conflict with Transportation Impact Reduction Goals
Same Conclusion (SU reduced to LTS w/ MM): While the 2011 EIR had identified impacts and mitigation
related to level of service, current laws require analysis on a VMT basis, which demonstrates the project
would have a less‐than‐significant impact with respect to transportation impacts and would be required
to implement TDM measures per City requirements (Traf‐1). Trip generation and characteristics under
the current project would be consistent with the hotel development specified under the 2011 EIR.
Traffic engineers Fehr & Peers prepared a trip generation comparison between the total OPSP
development as analyzed in the 2011 EIR and the current project, as shown in Table 1 below. Although
the 2011 EIR did not break down trip generation by land use, the project size is consistent with that
assumed in the 2011 EIR and would therefore be expected to generate a comparable number of trips as
the hotel identified in the 2011 EIR. Moreover, the trip generation would be well within the estimated
trip generation envelope of the OPSP and therefore vehicular transportation‐related impacts are
consistent with the 2011 EIR and would not be considered new impacts for the purposes of CEQA
analysis.

The City of South San Francisco provides VMT screening criteria for development projects. The criteria
are based on the type of project, characteristics, and/or location. If a project meets the City’s screening
criteria, the project is determined to result in less‐than‐significant impacts, and a detailed VMT analysis
is not required. The project would not meet the location‐based screening as nearby transit options do
not currently meet high‐quality transit standards. A hotel use is not one of the uses for which screening
criteria are specifically provided. Although the City of South San Francisco does not have a threshold of
significance for VMT associated with hotel uses specifically, consistent with the City’s screening criteria
287
Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist Page 57
for local serving land uses, the project would have a less than significant impact with respect to VMT if it
does not result in a net increase in VMT.
The project’s VMT was assessed by Fehr & Peers (Attachment B). Based on a survey of other area uses,
hotels in the vicinity primarily serve nearby office/R&D uses and the San Francisco International Airport,
as opposed to generating new tourism‐oriented or resort‐oriented travel. The average trip length
associated with a hotel in the East of 101 area was calculated to be 3.6 to 3.9 miles, compared to
average trip lengths of 12.9 miles for office/R&D and other land uses in the that area.
Assuming a similar travel pattern for the proposed project as existing hotels in the vicinity, the project
would not materially increase vehicle miles traveled and may help shorten trips for hotel guests that
would otherwise stay at hotels farther away.
Therefore, the project would not result in a net increase in VMT and would have a less‐than‐significant
impact in this regard. Compliance with the City’s TDM requirements, also required by Traf‐1, would
likely further reduce the project’s VMT.
Hazards and Emergency Access
Less Significant Conclusion (LTS w/ MM reduced to LTS): The current project would have a reduced
conclusion to Impacts and mitigation measures Traf‐2 and Traf‐3 would not apply as the site has been
designed to meet safety standards and is not near the Phase III and Phase IV garages.
The proposed project would not reroute or change any of the city streets in its vicinity that would
impact emergency vehicle access to nearby properties. The project would provide access suitable for
truck traffic, which would also include emergency vehicles. Emergency vehicles would have access to all
building entrances and facilities as well as the Bay Trail connection along the east side of the project.
The project is consistent with the program previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR and therefore would not
create new or substantially more severe impacts than previously analyzed in the 2011 EIR.

Discussion
Utilities and Service Systems Setting Changes from the 2011 EIR
Area‐wide development has continued throughout the vicinity and utilities plans and service are
regularly assessed and updated, including Cal Water’s South San Francisco District Water Supply and
Facilities Master Plan, the City’s Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP), and contracts and operations
related to solid waste.
Relocation of wastewater system Pump Station No. 1 as identified in the 2011 EIR is being completed as
part of Phase 1 development activities and will be completed prior to development of the project site.
The upsizing and improvements to Pump Station No. 2 as identified in the 2011 EIR to accommodate
build‐out of the OPSP area as well as other area growth has since been included in the City’s current
Capital Improvement Plan though not constructed; this pump station does not service the project site.
California Assembly Bill (AB) 341 requires businesses that generate 4 or more cubic yards of waste per
week to recycle. AB 1826 requires all businesses to subscribe to organics recycling service. The City of
South San Francisco has implemented these requirements through programs run by the South San
Francisco Scavenger Company.
New or Expanded Facilities
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change the less‐than‐
significant conclusion related to new or expanded facilities as the need for new or expanded facilities has
not changed since the 2011 EIR.
As under the 2011 EIR, the current project will be served by existing facilities (or those relocated
through separate projects) or on‐site and in‐roadway utility improvements that were included in
analysis of OPSP development, and the current project would not change the potential for impacts
related to such improvements. Consistent with assumptions in the OPSP and 2011 EIR, a new sewer
pump station is proposed on or in the vicinity of the project site. The conclusion of a less‐than‐significant
impact with respect to new or expanded utility facilities remains unchanged for the current project.
289
Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist Page 59
Water Supply
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change Impact Util‐1 or the
less‐than‐significant conclusion as the current project would not substantially change projected increases
in water demand.
The 2011 EIR included a Water Supply Assessment, which determined that with proposed on‐site
distribution infrastructure and compliance with applicable water conservation measures, proposed
water usage would be within available supply. As part of an approved specific plan, development of the
project site has been included in local and regional water supply planning. The project is also smaller
than the 500‐room hotel size that would have been required to prepare a project‐specific Water Supply
Assessment under Senate Bill 610.The conclusion of a less‐than‐significant impact with respect to water
supply remains unchanged for the current project.
Wastewater
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS w/ MM): The current project would not change Impacts Util‐2
and Util‐3, and mitigation measure Util‐2b, or the less‐than‐significant with mitigation conclusion as the
current project would not substantially change projected wastewater generation or planned capacity.
Mitigation measure Util‐2a would not apply as Pump Station No. 2 does not serve the project area.
As part of an approved specific plan, development of the project site has been included in area‐wide
wastewater planning and was determined in the 2011 EIR not to have a significant effect on system‐
wide wastewater capacity but would require localized improvements, including the off‐site
improvement of a larger sized subtrunk in Oyster Point. Mitigation measure Util‐2b requiring
demonstrated capacity prior to operations remains applicable to the current project to reduce potential
to less than significant. The City may determine that payment of the Sewer Impact Fee satisfies this
measure.
Solid Waste
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would not change Impact Util‐5 or the
less‐than‐significant conclusion as the site would be adequately served by existing facilities and comply
with applicable solid waste regulations.
The 2011 EIR determined that the solid waste generated by development in the OPSP area would be
within availability capacity of applicable facilities and would meet reduction standards and not
otherwise conflict with applicable regulations or goals. While specific requirements for commercial solid
waste service are regularly updated, the current project would meet all current requirements and the
impact would remain less‐than‐significant and consistent with 2011 EIR conclusions.
Energy
Same Conclusion (conclusion remains LTS): The current project would contribute to increased energy
consumption in the OPSP area but would not change Impact Util‐6 or the less‐than‐significant conclusion
as development would comply with applicable energy efficiency regulations.
The OPSP would be considered to have a significant impact related to energy use if it would violate
applicable federal, state, and local statutes and regulations relating to energy standards and/or if energy
consumption increases resulting from the OPSP would trigger the need or expanded off‐site energy
facilities.
290
Page 60 Oyster Point Hotel Project Environmental Checklist
The current project would be required by the City to comply with all standards of Title 24 of the
California Code of Regulations and the new California Green Building Standards Code (CALGREEN), as
applicable, aimed at the incorporation of energy‐conserving design and construction. PG&E
infrastructure exists in the area, and any improvements and extensions required to accommodate the
OPSP would be determined in consultation with PG&E prior to installation. As a result, although the
OPSP would incrementally increase energy consumption, it would not result in a significant impact
related to the provision of energy services. The project is consistent with the hotel development
assumed in the 2011 EIR and would therefore be within the energy usage assumed for the OPSP and by
the 2011 EIR with the less‐than‐significant energy impact identified in the 2011 EIR.

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM PAGE 2 OYSTER POINT HOTEL PROJECT Mitigation Measure Timing/ Schedule Implementation Responsibility Verification Monitoring Action Monitoring ResponsibilityDate Completed Vis‐2a: Lighting Plan. In order to reduce sources of light and glare created by lighting within the OPSP area, the applicant shall specify fixtures and lighting that maintains appropriate levels of light at building entries, walkways, courtyards, parking lots and private roads at night consistent with minimum levels detailed in the City’s building codes. These fixtures shall be designed to eliminate spillover, high intensity, and unshielded lighting, thereby avoiding unnecessary light pollution. Prior to issuance of building permits for each phase of construction within the OPSP, the applicant shall submit a Lighting Design Plan for review and approval by the City of South San Francisco Planning Department. The plan shall include, but not necessarily be limited to the following: ○ The Lighting Design Plan shall disclose all potential light sources with the types of lighting and their locations. ○ Typical lighting shall include low mounted, downward casting and shielded lights that do not cause spillover onto adjacent properties and the utilization of motion detection systems where applicable. ○ No flood lights shall be utilized. ○ Lighting shall be limited to the areas that would be in operation during nighttime hours. ○ Low intensity, indirect light sources shall be encouraged. ○ On‐demand lighting systems shall be encouraged. ○ Mercury, sodium vapor, and similar intense and bright lights shall not be permitted except where their need is specifically approved and their source of light is restricted. ○ Generally, light fixtures shall not be located at the periphery of Prior to construction Applicant for the development Verify requirements are included in construction contracts and are met during construction SSF Planning Division 294

This would include trucks waiting to deliver or receive soil, aggregate, or other bulk materials. Rotating drum concrete trucks could keep their engines running continuously as long as they were onsite or adjacent to the construction site. ○ Opacity is an indicator of exhaust particulate emissions from off‐road diesel powered equipment. Each project shall ensure that emissions from all construction diesel powered equipment used on the project site do not exceed 40 percent opacity for more than three minutes in any one hour. Any equipment found to exceed 40 percent opacity (or Ringelmann 2.0) shall be repaired immediately ○ The contractor shall install temporary electrical service whenever possible to avoid the need for independently powered equipment (e.g. compressors). ○ Properly tune and maintain equipment for low emissions.

These BMPs shall include numerous practices that will be outlined within the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), including, but not limited to, the following mitigation measures: 1. No equipment will be operated in live flow in any of the sloughs or channels or ditches on or adjacent to the site. 2. No debris, soil, silt, sand, bark, slash, sawdust, cement, concrete, washings, petroleum products or other organic or earthen material shall be allowed to enter into or be placed where it may be washed by rainfall or runoff into aquatic or wetland habitat. 3. Standard erosion control and slope stabilization measures will be required for work performed in any area where erosion could lead to sedimentation of a waterbody. For example, silt fencing will be installed just outside the limits of grading and construction in any areas where such activities will occur upslope from, and within 50 ft of, any wetland, aquatic, or marsh habitat. This silt fencing will be inspected and maintained regularly throughout the duration of construction. 4. Machinery will be refueled at least 50 ft from any aquatic habitat, and a spill prevention and response plan will be developed. All workers will be informed of the importance of preventing spills and of the appropriate measures to take should a spill occur. constructionBio‐3b: Minimize Soil Disturbance Adjacent to Wetland and Marsh Habitat.

The limits of the construction area shall be clearly demarcated with Environmentally Sensitive Area fencing to avoid inadvertent disturbance outside the fence during construction activities. development Sensitive Areas are avoided Bio‐4: Ensure Adequate Stormwater Run‐off Capacity. Increases in stormwater run‐off due to increased hardscape shall be mitigated through the construction and maintenance of features designed to handle the expected increases in flows and provide adequate energy dissipation. All such features, including outfalls, shall be regularly maintained to ensure continued function and prevent failure following construction. Prior to construction Applicant for the development Verification that adequate stormwater run‐off capacity is provided SSF Public Works Department Bio‐6: Pre‐Construction Nesting Bird Survey. Pre‐construction surveys for nesting birds protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and/or Fish and Game Code of California within 100 feet of a development site in the OPSP area shall be conducted if construction commences during the avian nesting season, between February 1 and August 31. The survey should be undertaken no more than 15 days prior to any site‐disturbing activities, including vegetation removal or grading. If active nests are found, a qualified biologist shall determine an appropriate buffer in consideration of species, stage of nesting, location of the nest, and type of construction activity.

Plan Review of planned buildings and structures shall be completed by the Building Division for adherence to the seismic design criteria for planned commercial and industrial sites in the East of 101 area of the City of South San Francisco. According to the East of 101 area plan, Geotechnical Safety Element, buildings should not be subject to catastrophic collapse under foreseeable seismic events, and will allow egress of occupants in the event of damage following a strong earthquake. Geo‐4: Compliance with recommendations of a Geotechnical Investigation. A design‐level Geotechnical Investigation shall include an evaluation of static stability and seismic stability under a design magnitude earthquake event. Seismic analyses shall include pseudo‐static analyses to estimate permanent slope displacements due to earthquake motions. The Geotechnical Engineer shall prepare recommendations to mitigate potential slope instability, if slope stability problems are identified. Mitigation measures may include ground improvement by methods such as stone columns or jet grouting. Design‐level Geotechnical Investigations shall be completed during preliminary and final design stages and will confirm material types used in the construction of the perimeter dikes to verify that the slopes meet minimum criteria for stability under both static and seismic conditions. Knowledge of the stability of the perimeter dikes will guide the selection of any future measures to mitigate any deficiencies identified in the perimeter dike. Prior to issuance of building permits Applicant for the development Verify geotechnical recommendations are included in plans and construction contracts SSF Building Division Geo‐5a: Deep Foundations. Because of the magnitude of expected settlement of Bay Mud soils and waste fill materials that would Prior to Applicant for Verify SSF Building
303
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM PAGE 12 OYSTER POINT HOTEL PROJECT Mitigation Measure Timing/ Schedule Implementation Responsibility Verification Monitoring Action Monitoring ResponsibilityDate Completed occur under new building loads, the OPSP applicant must consider the use of deep foundations such as driven piles. Specific recommendations for suitable deep foundation alternatives and required penetrations will be provided during the course of a design‐level geotechnical investigation and will depend on factors such as the depth and hardness of the underlying clays, sands or bedrock, and the corrosivity of the waste materials and Bay Mud soils. Suitable deep foundation types may include driven precast, prestressed concrete piles or driven closed‐end steel pipe piles with the interior of the pile filled with concrete after driving. Deep foundations shall extend through all waste materials and Bay Mud and be tipped in underlying stiff to hard clays, dense sands or weathered bedrock. Where waste and Bay Mud soils underlie the site, wall and column loads as well as floor slabs shall be founded on deep foundations. Settlement of properly‐designed and constructed deep foundation elements is typically less than about one‐half inch. The majority of settlement typically occurs during construction as the loads are applied. Where landfill waste and Bay Mud are not present (possibly at extreme western and northwestern edges of the site) and competent soil or bedrock are present near the ground surface (within about 5 feet of finished grade elevation), shallow foundations such as footings or mats may be appropriate foundation types, as determined during the course of a design‐level geotechnical investigation. Where proposed structures straddle a transition zone between these conditions, a combination of shallow and deep foundations may be required. Any transition zones shall be identified during site‐specific geotechnical investigations for preliminary and final designs. Geo‐5b: Predrilling and/or Pile Configuration. Piles either shall be issuance of building permits the development requirements are included in construction contracts and are met during construction Division304
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM OYSTER POINT HOTEL PROJECT PAGE 13 Mitigation Measure Timing/ Schedule Implementation Responsibility Verification Monitoring Action Monitoring ResponsibilityDate Completed predrilled through the fill and landfill materials to protect the piles from damage due to unknown materials, to reduce pushing waste material deeper, and to reduce pile alignment problems or shall have a pointed tip configuration. If a drill is used, it should only loosen and break up in‐place obstructions that may cause pile damage. During recent subsurface investigations reported by Treadwell & Rollo (2009b) obstructions including concrete rubble was encountered throughout the landfill area, particularly in the northern end of the site. Even with predrilling, precast concrete piles could be damaged during installation at a landfill site such as Oyster Point. For preliminary planning purposes, a precast concrete pile breakage rate during installation of 10 to 15 percent may be considered applicable. Piles usually have to include pointed tip configurations to avoid pushing landfill waste downward. These configurations are typically readily accommodated by pile driving contractors. Geo‐5c: Indicator Pile Program. Prior to specifying the lengths of the production piles, drive indicator piles at the structure sites in order to observe the driving characteristic of the piles and the ability of the driving equipment when a driven pile is used. The driving criteria and pile length of production piles shall also be estimated from the information obtained from driving of the indicator piles. The contractor shall use the same equipment to drive both the indicator and production piles. Indicator pile lengths and locations shall be selected by the Geotechnical Engineer, in conjunction with the Structural Engineer and Contractor after the foundation plan has been finalized. The indicator pile program will serve to establish information on the following: ○ Estimates of production pile lengths; 305

To avoid inducing additional settlement to the settlement that is already on‐going, grading plans shall include as little additional new fill as possible, and Prior to issuance of building permit Applies to all construction Verification of adequate report SSF Building Division and SSF Public Works Department 306
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM OYSTER POINT HOTEL PROJECT PAGE 15 Mitigation Measure Timing/ Schedule Implementation Responsibility Verification Monitoring Action Monitoring ResponsibilityDate Completed significant new structure loads or any structures that are settlement‐sensitive shall be founded on deep foundations extended below the Bay Mud, as recommended in the design‐level Geotechnical Investigation report. All grading shall be planned to avoid penetrating the landfill cap and to reduce the amount of long‐term settlement in response to new fills. Because the Bay Mud and waste across most of the site are still settling under the weight of existing fill and waste decomposition and will settle more under new fills, additional settlement should be expected, with the creation of localized low‐lying surface areas. Existing low areas shall be corrected during site grading to allow for proper drainage. Long‐term maintenance planning for the development shall also include provisions for periodic grading to correct drainage problems and improve site grades, as outlined in the Disposition and Development Agreement. The Geotechnical Engineer will recommend other site‐specific recommendations based on the results of the design‐level Geotechnical Investigation to mitigate on‐going settlement and any additional settlement to be expected in response to new development. Geo‐8b: Design Building‐Soil Interface to Allow Free Movement. The Structural Engineer shall provide that structures not supported on deep foundations not be structurally tied into pile‐supported buildings, except as noted below, and shall be designed to allow free vertical movement between structures. Articulated ramps on walkways and building entrances at the interface between the pile and soil‐supported areas can provide a smooth walkway over moderate differential settlements with some amount of maintenance. As the magnitude of the differential Prior to issuance of building permit Applies to all construction Verification of compliant construction plans SSF Building Division 307
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM PAGE 16 OYSTER POINT HOTEL PROJECT Mitigation Measure Timing/ Schedule Implementation Responsibility Verification Monitoring Action Monitoring ResponsibilityDate Completed settlement increases, however, these ramps may need to be rebuilt or realigned to account for the larger elevation differential. Similar ramps may also reduce differential settlements between driveways and pile‐supported parking lots. Over time, voids will tend to form beneath pile‐supported buildings due to on‐going settlement of the landfill. Use of wall skirts around the building perimeter will help to reduce the visual impact of these voids. Geo‐9a: Monitoring and Testing. Special precautions shall be taken to monitor the safety conditions and to provide for the safety of workers in the area. Additionally, if excavations encounter water, this water shall be tested for contaminants and may have to undergo specialized handling, treatment and/or disposal if it is contaminated. A system to disperse methane during construction shall be installed in or adjacent to the trenches. For projects on the landfill area, prior to issuance of building permit and during construction Applies to all construction on a landfill Adherence to measures if water discovered during excavation SSF Building Division and SSF Public Works Department Geo‐9b: Locate Underground Utilities in Soil Cap. To the extent practicable, the utilities shall be constructed in the soil landfill cap to avoid direct contact of the utility lines and construction workers with the waste material. If construction of utilities in the waste material is necessary, proper design and construction precautions shall be taken to protect the system and the workers from the corrosive and hazardous conditions of the waste. Geo‐9c: Seal Trenches and Underground Structures. Trenches and underground structures shall be sealed to preclude gas intrusion. Typical types of sealing procedures include providing a low permeability clay cover of 1 foot over the top of the pipe, or the utility trench be lined with a relatively impervious For projects on the landfill area, prior issuance of building permit and during construction Applies to all construction on a landfill Verification of compliant plans and adherence to approved plans during construction SSF Building Division and SSF Public Works Department 308

Underground manholes may be shielded from methane intrusion by placement of a membrane around the outside of the structure. To reduce gas migration off‐site within the utility trenches, all trenches crossing the transition zone between the landfill and non‐landfill portions of the property shall be sealed with a clay plug surrounding the pipe or other approved methods. In addition, plugs shall also be provided at the perimeters of buildings to reduce migration of gas through the utility trenches to beneath the buildings. Geo‐10: Provide For Continuity of Landfill Cap. Following planned landfill excavation and landfill cap repair, the project Civil Engineer shall require that excavations for building foundations, utility trenches and other underground structures be configured to maintain continuity of the landfill cap.

A plan shall be written for management of excavated wastes/refuse. Non‐hazardous excavated waste shall be re‐deposited in an alternate part of the site and any hazardous waste shall be relocated off‐site for appropriate disposal. The plan can be a section of the Site Management Plan (Mitigation Measure Haz‐4a), or a stand alone document. The plan shall include measures to avoid releases of wastes or waste water into the environment and to protect workers and the public. The details of the plan shall be based, in part, on the amount of material to be removed and the final design of foundation structures, but will generally include the following, as deemed appropriate by the regulatory agencies, particularly DTSC and RWQCB: ○ To the greatest extent possible, use existing boring data to obtain pre‐characterization of refuse for off‐site disposal, and to pre‐plan areas to be removed versus areas to be re‐deposited on‐site. ○ Divide excavation areas into daily sections; plan to complete excavation and backfilling a section during each working day. Minimize the time period that refuse is exposed. ○ Review existing boring data and existing site documentation to evaluate potential subsurface materials to be encountered. ○ Stake out area to be excavated. ○ If excavation is to be conducted at depths where groundwater is to be encountered, conduct dewatering to minimize worker potential direct contact with groundwater. Removed groundwater shall be treated in accordance with the requirements outlined in the Site Management Plan (Mitigation Measure Haz‐4a).

Specific mitigation measures designed to protect human health SSF Building Division SSF Building Division 314
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM OYSTER POINT HOTEL PROJECT PAGE 23 Mitigation Measure Timing/ Schedule Implementation Responsibility Verification Monitoring Action Monitoring ResponsibilityDate Completed and the environment shall be provided in the plan. At a minimum, the plan shall include the following: 1) Requirements for site specific Health and Safety Plans (HASP) shall be prepared in accordance with OSHA regulations by all contractors at the OPSP area. This includes a HASP for all demolition, grading and excavation on the site, as well as for future subsurface maintenance work. The HASP shall include appropriate training, any required personal protective equipment, and monitoring of contaminants to determine exposure. The HASP shall be reviewed and approved by a Certified Industrial Hygienist. The plan shall also designate provisions to limit worker entry and exposure and shall show locations and type of protective fencing to prevent public exposure to hazards during demolition, site grading, and construction activities. 2) Requirements for site‐specific construction techniques that would minimize exposure to any subsurface contamination shall be developed. This shall include dewatering techniques to minimize direct exposure to groundwater during construction activities, treatment and disposal measures for any contaminated groundwater removed from excavations, trenches, and dewatering systems in accordance with local and Regional Water Quality Control Board guidelines. Groundwater encountered in excavations shall not be discharged into the neighboring storm drain, but into a closed containment facility, unless proven to have concentrations of contaminants below established regulatory guidelines. Extracted contaminated groundwater shall be required to be stored in tanks or other sealed container until tested. If testing determines that the water can be discharged into the sanitary sewer system, then the applicant shall acquire a ground water discharge permit from the City of South San Francisco Sanitary Sewer District and meet local discharge limits before 315
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM PAGE 24 OYSTER POINT HOTEL PROJECT Mitigation Measure Timing/ Schedule Implementation Responsibility Verification Monitoring Action Monitoring ResponsibilityDate Completed being allowed to discharge into the sanitary sewer. Water shall be analyzed for the chemicals of concern at the site, including benzene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, chlorobenzene, naphthalene and additional compounds as requested by the receiving facility or the City of South San Francisco. 3) Waste relocation. Relocation or removal of existing landfill waste/refuse will be required for landfill cap upgrades and for site construction. Excavated waste can either be re‐deposited on site or disposed of at an active landfill facility. Off‐site disposal will require pre‐characterization of the waste for acceptance at an approved waste disposal facility. Waste manifests will be prepared to document transportation and disposal. On‐site disposal shall require proper placement, compaction, and capping of the refuse material. In either case, segregation of Class 2 and Class 3 from Class 1 material for disposal purposes shall be performed on‐site to the extent possible. No Class 1 material shall be relocated or re‐deposited on‐site. BAAQMD Regulation 8 Rule 34 section 118 documents a limited exemption for construction activities at landfill sites. This section specifies that when the construction activities are related to “installing, expanding, replacing, or repairing components of the landfill gas, leachate, or gas condensate collection and removal systems.” Excavation for cap upgrades falls under this exemption. Excavation for construction purposes will also likely fall under this exemption. As such it will be necessary to provide BAAQMD with construction plans and other documentation as detailed under this regulation for the purposes of obtaining a letter of exemption from BAAQMD. Excavation procedures are also discussed in Measure Haz‐2. 4) Future subsurface work plan. The plan shall document procedures for future subsurface landscaping work, utility maintenance, etc., with proper notification, where applicable. The 316
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM OYSTER POINT HOTEL PROJECT PAGE 25 Mitigation Measure Timing/ Schedule Implementation Responsibility Verification Monitoring Action Monitoring ResponsibilityDate Completed plan shall include a general health and safety plan for each expected type of work, with appropriate personal protective equipment, where applicable. This plan may be included in the operations and maintenance plan as appropriate. Haz‐6b: Landfill Gas System. Section 21160 of Title 27 of the CCR requires that closed landfills implement and maintain landfill gas control. A landfill gas (LFG) venting system shall be placed under the bottom slabs of each structure built entirely or partially over landfill material, to collect and vent the build up of gases diffusing through the landfill cap. The LFG system shall include spray‐applied vapor barrier membranes, horizontal collection and passive venting, gas detection and monitoring. The system shall either have backup active collection and venting or shall be designed to facilitate retrofitting with an active system, if measures warrant the retrofit. Potential migration of LFG into the building space shall be mitigated by the collection and venting system, and secondly by the spray‐applied membrane. Subsurface landfill gases shall be vented by a network of perforated piping placed beneath the building slabs. The exhaust gases shall be manifolded to a series of riser piping that is to be vented above structure roofs. Passive landfill gas systems do not require permits, however if an active system is installed, either at the time of construction or as part of a retrofit, a BAAQMD permit will be needed.

Memorandum
Date: May 4, 2022
To: Rebecca Auld, Lamphier Gregory
From: Daniel Jacobson and Emily Chen, Fehr & Peers
Subject: Oyster Point Hotel Transportation Assessment
SF22-1215
This memorandum provides a transportation assessment for a proposed hotel located within the
Oyster Point Specific Plan area in South San Francisco (“Project”). It includes an analysis of travel
demand, site access and circulation, and vehicle miles traveled, as well as a comparison to the
analysis provided in the Oyster Point Specific Plan EIR.
Key Findings
• The Project’s hotel and restaurant uses are unlikely to materially increase vehicle miles
traveled due to the Project’s proximity to office/R&D uses and the San Francisco
International Airport.
• The Project’s size and trip generation is well within the estimated trip generation
envelope of the Specific Plan Area and therefore consistent with the transportation
analysis in the Specific Plan EIR.
• Access and circulation illustrated in the Project’s conceptual site plan is consistent with
the Oyster Point Specific Plan and would not create or exacerbate transportation safety
impacts.
• Based on the above findings, there are no anticipated new impacts to transportation
facilities that were not identified in the Oyster Point Specific Plan EIR.

Project Description
The Project is located on Marina Boulevard near the eastern terminus of Oyster Point Boulevard
adjacent to the South San Francisco Ferry Terminal. The Project consists of up to 350 hotel rooms,
a restaurant and bar, and meeting rooms covering about 261,000 square feet. A ballroom may be
added in a future phase. Approximately 250 parking spaces would be provided (78 of which
would be valet) along with a loading dock that accommodates two service trucks. The Project
includes three driveways along Marina Boulevard and a public access trail along the eastern edge
of the site connecting to the Bay Trail.
Project Setting
Land Use & Transportation Context
The Project is located within the Oyster Point Specific Plan area, an 81 acre redevelopment in
South San Francisco approved in 2011. The Specific Plan includes the development of up to 2.3
million square feet of office/R&D space as well as new infrastructure, recreation and open space,
and the proposed Project. The Specific Plan’s Phase One buildings (660,000 square feet) were
completed in early 2022, while remaining phases are underway. The Project is located along
Marina Boulevard near the eastern terminus of Oyster Point Boulevard, which connects to US-101
and major arterials within South San Francisco. Gull Drive, Eccles Avenue, and Gateway Boulevard
are the nearest north-south streets intersecting with Oyster Point Boulevard.
The South San Francisco Ferry Terminal is located adjacent to the project site, while the South San
Francisco Caltrain station and South San Francisco BART Station are accessible via peak period
shuttle services provided by the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Commute.org). While
no SamTrans bus service currently serves the site, an extension of Route 130 along the Oyster
Point Boulevard corridor is planned to occur in 2023. New pedestrian and bicycle facilities have
been provided along Oyster Point Boulevard and Marina Boulevard adjacent to the Project site,
including sidewalks, crosswalks, and Class II bike lanes. The Bay Trail covers the perimeter of the
Specific Plan area and has frontage on the southern shoreline of the Project site.

Specific Plan Design Guidelines
The Oyster Point Specific Plan seeks to promote alternative transportation modes to, from and
within the site (Design Goal 3). To accomplish this, it includes the following applicable design
guidelines related to the Project’s site access and circulation:
General Guidelines
• Provide convenient, efficient, and safe access to Oyster Point.
• Maintain and enhance access to adjacent parcels, the waterfront, and the Ferry Terminal.
• Encourage alternative transportation by emphasizing pedestrian, bicycle and transit in the
roadway network design.
• Promote safe pedestrian and vehicular circulation by minimizing conflicts at intersections
and changes in road width and direction.
Service, Delivery and Emergency Access Guidelines
• Service vehicles should be accommodated by the roadway network, with clearly delineated
lane markings, signals, and wayfinding signage.
• Service, delivery and emergency vehicles should have access to both primary as well as
secondary entrances to buildings and facilities.
• These secondary entrances should be limited specifically to service, delivery, and emergency
access.
• Service vehicle driveways and loading areas should be screened and separated from public
pedestrian walkways where possible.
• Secondary access for emergency vehicles will be provided when their access is restricted
from using primary entrances.
Parking Access Guidelines
• Parking access should be clearly delineated by lane markings, signals, and wayfinding
signage.
• Access to and from the parking garages should be located at intersections or from a
dedicated right turn lane.
• Adequate queuing space should be provided at parking garage entrances.
Bicycle Circulation Guidelines
• Bicycle access and parking should be clearly delineated by lane markings and wayfinding
signage.
328

Streetscapes and Sidewalks Guidelines
• Sidewalks should support an interconnected and public development.
• Width of sidewalks should be appropriate to
• accommodate an active development.
• Sidewalks should be inset from roadways with a landscape buffer where possible to promote
pedestrian friendly circulation.
Guidelines to Support the TDM Program
• The site should include dedicated passenger drop- off and shuttle stop areas.
• Pedestrian connections should be provided to connect the buildings and site adjacent
sidewalks, Bay Trail and shuttle stops.
• Bicycle lanes, routes and/or paths should be provided to allow bicycle accessibility to all
buildings at the site.
• The parking areas should provide preferred parking for carpool, vanpool, low-emitting and
fuel-efficient vehicles, and electric plug-in vehicles.
• Parking should be provided for motorcycle and scooters.
• Long-term (Class I) and Short-Term (Class II) bicycle parking should be provided at or
adjacent to all buildings.
• Shower and changing facilities should be provided in or easily accessible from all buildings.
• Transportation and Commute Information Kiosks should be provided at all buildings.
• In addition to the physical measures described above, the TDM program will include
programmatic measures such as informational resources, transit programs, and commuter
amenities.
Project Travel Demand
Project Trip Generation
Vehicle trip estimates for the Project (Table 1) were developed by applying national trip
generation rates presented in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation
Manual 11th Edition to the proposed land uses. Due to the continued disruptions in travel
behavior associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, ITE rates were used in lieu of conducting new
vehicle counts at comparable local sites. ITE Land Use 310 (Hotel) is defined as a place of lodging
and supporting facilities such as a full-service restaurant, bar, meeting rooms, ballrooms, and
convention facilities, which most closely matches the facilities included in the proposed Project.
ITE includes a reasonably large sample size of 28 studies for AM peak hour trip generation data
and 31 studies for PM peak hour trip generation data. Daily trip generation data includes a more
limited sample size of seven studies and may have a higher margin of error.
329
Oyster Point Hotel Transportation Assessment
May 4, 2022
Page 6 of 12
ITE rates are typically derived from suburban settings that lack a mix of land uses within walking
distance; consequently, Fehr & Peers used the trip generation methodology known as MXD+ to
calibrate the trip generation estimates to local conditions and the proximity to adjacent
office/research & development (R&D) uses. The MXD+ method is based on a weighted average
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s MXD Model and the National Cooperative Highway
Research Program’s Report 684 methodology. Additional reductions associated with the
proposed transportation demand management program were not included due to limited data
available for comparable hotel sites
As illustrated in Table 1, the project is projected to generate approximately 2,751 vehicle trips on
an average weekday with about 135 occurring in the AM peak hour and about 204 in the PM
peak hour. These trip generation estimates do not account for the proposed transportation
demand management program, which would further reduce the number of private vehicle trips to
the project.
The Project considers adding a ballroom in a future phase. Since ITE rates are based upon hotels
that typically include ballrooms, the trip generation estimates in Table 1 include travel demand
associated with the future ballroom. Consequently, Table 1 may present an overestimate of travel
demand without the ballroom.

Trip Distribution and Assignment
About half of Project vehicle travel is expected to occur within South San Francisco, Brisbane, San
Bruno, and the San Francisco International Airport. Figure 3 illustrates daily vehicle trip
distribution between traffic analysis zones (TAZs) for nearby clusters of hotels in South San
Francisco and Brisbane based on StreetLight data, which tracks anonymized movement using cell
phone location-based services data. Each site shares similar characteristics as business-oriented
hotels that illustrates comparable travel behavior, offering some combination of meeting rooms,
ballrooms, and restaurant/bar facilities, although most of these sites are generally older and
smaller hotels. Based on this analysis, the Project’s vehicle trip distribution is expected to be most

heavily concentrated within the East of 101 Area (15 to 20 percent of trips), to/from the San
Francisco International Airport (10 to 15 percent), and elsewhere in South San Francisco, Brisbane,
or San Bruno (10 to 15 percent). The remaining 50 to 60 percent of trips would mostly be
distributed across San Francisco and San Mateo counties.

Vehicle trips would be concentrated along Oyster Point Boulevard to access US-101. Upon
reaching US-101, about 50 percent of trips are likely to travel to the south, 40 percent to the
north, and 10 percent continuing along Sister Cities Boulevard. Trips occurring fully within the
East of 101 Area are likely to use Gull Drive, Eccles Avenue, and Gateway Boulevard.
Vehicle Miles Traveled
The Project is a business-oriented hotel primarily serving nearby office/R&D uses and San
Francisco International Airport. Unlike nearby office/R&D land uses in the East of 101 Area that
typically generate vehicle miles, the Project would exhibit characteristics of a local-serving land
use rather than a regional destination. In its Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation
Impacts in CEQA, the State of California’s Office of Planning and Research notes that “local-
serving retail development tends to shorten trips and reduce VMT.”1 Hotels in the East of 101
Area appear to exhibit similar travel behavior as local-serving retail: as illustrated in Figure 3,
vehicle trip lengths for four nearby hotel clusters in South San Francisco and Brisbane tend to be
short and focused around nearby office/R&D uses and the San Francisco International Airport. As
shown in Table 2, the average vehicle trip length for nearby hotels is about four miles, compared
with an average trip length of about 13 miles for other land uses in the East of 101 Area.
Table 2. Trip Length Comparison
East of 101 Area Land Use Average Trip Length
Hotels 3.6-3.9 Miles
Office/R&D and Other Land Uses 12.9 miles
Source: StreetLight data and C/CAG Model
Hotels in the vicinity primarily serve nearby office/R&D uses and the San Francisco International
Airport, as opposed to generating new tourism-oriented or resort-oriented travel. Assuming a
similar travel pattern for the proposed Project as those existing in the vicinity, the Project would
not materially increase vehicle miles traveled and may help shorten trips for hotel guests that
would otherwise stay at hotels farther away. Although the City of South San Francisco does not
have a threshold of significance for VMT associated with hotel uses, the Project may be presumed
to have a less than significant impact to VMT based on the City’s screening criteria for local
serving land uses that do not result in a net increase in VMT.

Specific Plan & City Policy Consistency
Trip Generation
The Specific Plan EIR document published in 2011 estimated that the Specific Plan buildout would
result in 17,684 daily trips, of which 1,873 would occur during the AM peak hour and 2,127 would
occur during the PM peak hour (a net change of about 12,716 daily vehicle trips, 1,402 AM peak
hour trips, and 1,621 PM peak hour trips. As shown in Table 3, the Oyster Point Hotel is expected
to generate in total about 2,751 daily trips, including about 135 AM peak hour trips and 204 PM
peak hour trips. Although the Specific Plan EIR did not break down trip generation by land use,
the Oyster Point Hotel size is consistent with the Specific Plan, is therefore expected to generate a
comparable number of trips as the hotel identified in the Specific Plan EIR. Moreover, its trip
generation is well within the estimated trip generation envelope of the Specific Plan. The Specific
Plan and Project trip generation are summarized in Table 3.

Access & Circulation
Access and circulation illustrated in the Project’s conceptual site plan is consistent with the Oyster
Point Specific Plan. The site plan (Figure 4) includes driveways connecting to Marina Boulevard,
pedestrian connections to the street’s sidewalk, and a Bay Trail connection on its eastern edge as
identified in the Specific Plan.
Service, Delivery and Emergency Access
The Project would provide two onsite loading spaces for commercial deliveries and service
vehicles. The Project would primarily be served by small- to mid-sized box trucks, laundry trucks,
and garbage trucks (all typically 16 to 32 feet). Truck activity is expected to be spread throughout
the day depending on particular functions: for example, garbage trucks typically arrive early
morning, while laundry trucks typically arrive mid-morning (in coordination with housekeeping
services). Service and delivery vehicles would use a screened in loading dock in the middle of the
site. Trucks would enter via the easternmost driveway and conduct a three-point turn within the
parking lot to back into the loading dock. The site plan remains conceptual at the time of this
analysis, but it can be reasonably inferred that the proposed layout can accommodate such trucks
provided that truck turning templates are used to inform the design process.
Larger tractor-trailer vehicles are expected for restaurant delivery. These deliveries would primarily
occur overnight. Tractor-trailer trucks would back in from Marina Boulevard to access the loading
dock. Since the site is located on a relatively low volume street and these deliveries would occur
outside of peak hours, large truck deliveries would not pose conflicts with other modes. Truck
drivers may benefit from approaching the site from the westbound direction (via looping around
the Marina turnaround) to avoid reversing into their blind side when approaching the lot.
The City of South San Francisco requires five loading spaces for a 261,000 square foot commercial
land use. Based on the anticipated loading activity and distribution throughout the day, city
requirements likely exceed anticipated demand, and comparable hotels in the East of 101 Area
typically include one to two loading spaces. The proposed loading supply is expected to be
sufficient provided that hotel management staggers loading activities throughout the day.
Emergency vehicles would have access to all building entrances and facilities as well as the Bay
Trail connection along the east side of the Project.
The Project is therefore consistent with the Specific Plan’s guidelines for efficient service, delivery,
and emergency vehicle access.
Parking Access
Access for the proposed 250 parking spaces would be provided via three driveways along Marina
Boulevard. Each driveway would serve hotel, restaurant, and meeting room uses, with the
334
Oyster Point Hotel Transportation Assessment
May 4, 2022
Page 11 of 12
westernmost driveway expected to serve as the primary entrance. Since these driveways are
located along the eastern edge of Marina Boulevard, they are likely to account for a majority of
vehicle traffic along the street and are unlikely to pose conflicts with the limited through traffic
that occurs.
Figure 5: Parking Layout
The Project’s proposed parking supply includes a 26 percent reduction relative to parking
requirements described in Section 20.330.006 of the zoning code. City code would require
approximately 340 parking spaces, of which about one-third would be required for hotel guests
and the remainder for meeting rooms, hotel employees, and other uses. The applicant has
proposed a reduced parking supply due to the hotel’s proximity to nearby office/R&D uses,
access to shuttle, ferry, and planned SamTrans service, and market demand at similar hotels. In
particular, travel behavior of airport- and business-oriented hotel guests has shifted in recent
years from relying on rental cars to Uber and Lyft, resulting in a decrease in parking demand.
While occasional surges in parking demand may occur, the applicant anticipates that this may be
addressed through additional valet parking, shared parking with neighboring lots, and
encouraging visitors to access the hotel via other transportation modes.
335
Oyster Point Hotel Transportation Assessment
May 4, 2022
Page 12 of 12
Bicycle Access
Bicyclists would access the site via the Project’s driveways. Bicycle parking would be provided per
City code and delineated with signage. The Project would provide 35 bicycle parking spaces,
which is consistent with City code. The Project is consistent with the Specific Plan’s guidelines to
incorporate bicycle travel into projects.
Pedestrian Access
The Project would align with the new sidewalk and trail infrastructure in the Specific Plan Area.
Pedestrians would access the Project via a pathway to the lobby. Pedestrians would access the
South San Francisco Ferry Terminal, Commute.org shuttles, and planned SamTrans service by
crossing Marina Boulevard and walking approximately 300 feet to the east to reach the ferry
terminal entrance and bus/shuttle stop. The Project is consistent with the Specific Plan’s
guidelines to support an interconnected and pedestrian-friendly development.
TDM-Supportive Site Plan Features
The Project would be subject to the City’s TDM Ordinance requirements and would incorporate
site plan elements consistent with these requirements as described above, including a passenger
loading area, direct pedestrian connections to sidewalks and transit facilities, access to bike lanes
and trails, and bike parking. The Project is consistent with the Specific Plan’s guidelines to
encourage alternative forms of transportation.
EIR Transportation Impacts
The Oyster Point Specific Plan EIR identifies several significant impacts to transportation facilities,
including intersection delay, freeway delay, and offramp queues. Based on the analysis above, the
Project’s effects would be consistent with this analysis. Since the certification of the EIR, the State
of California has adopted new CEQA guidelines that that vehicle level of service (LOS) and similar
measures related to auto delay shall not be used as the sole basis for determining the significance
of transportation impacts. The Project would contribute toward Transportation Impact Fees to
address multimodal transportation needs around the Specific Plan Area.

Vis-2a: Lighting Plan. In order to reduce sources of light and glare
created by lighting within the OPSP area, the applicant shall specify
fixtures and lighting that maintains appropriate levels of light at
building entries, walkways, courtyards, parking lots and private
roads at night consistent with minimum levels detailed in the City’s
building codes. These fixtures shall be designed to eliminate
spillover, high intensity, and unshielded lighting, thereby avoiding
unnecessary light pollution.
Prior to issuance of building permits for each phase of construction
within the OPSP, the applicant shall submit a Lighting Design Plan
for review and approval by the City of South San Francisco
Planning Department. The plan shall include, but not necessarily be
limited to the following:
○ The Lighting Design Plan shall disclose all potential light
sources with the types of lighting and their locations.
○ Typical lighting shall include low mounted, downward casting
and shielded lights that do not cause spillover onto adjacent
properties and the utilization of motion detection systems
where applicable.
○ No flood lights shall be utilized.
○ Lighting shall be limited to the areas that would be in
operation during nighttime hours.
○ Low intensity, indirect light sources shall be encouraged.
○ On-demand lighting systems shall be encouraged.
○ Mercury, sodium vapor, and similar intense and bright lights
shall not be permitted except where their need is specifically
approved and their source of light is restricted.

Vis-2b: Glare Reduction. In order to reduce sources of daytime
glare created by reflective building materials, the applicant shall
specify exterior building materials for all proposed structures
constructed for the Phase I Project and each subsequent phase of
development under the OPSP that include the use of textured or
other non-reflective exterior surfaces and non-reflective glass
types, including double glazed and non-reflective vision glass.
These materials shall be chosen for their non-reflective
characteristics and their ability to reduce daytime glare. All
exterior glass must meet the specifications of all applicable codes
for non-reflective glass and would therefore reduce daytime glare
emanating from the OPSP area.

average 20 percent NOx reduction and 45 percent particulate
reduction compared to the most recent CARB fleet average for
the year 2011
○ Clear signage at all construction sites will be posted indicating
that diesel equipment standing idle for more than five minutes
shall be turned off. This would include trucks waiting to deliver
or receive soil, aggregate, or other bulk materials. Rotating
drum concrete trucks could keep their engines running
continuously as long as they were onsite or adjacent to the
construction site.
○ Opacity is an indicator of exhaust particulate emissions from
off-road diesel powered equipment. Each project shall ensure
that emissions from all construction diesel powered
equipment used on the project site do not exceed 40 percent

1. No equipment will be operated in live flow in any of the
sloughs or channels or ditches on or adjacent to the site.
2. No debris, soil, silt, sand, bark, slash, sawdust, cement,
concrete, washings, petroleum products or other organic or
earthen material shall be allowed to enter into or be placed
where it may be washed by rainfall or runoff into aquatic or
wetland habitat.
3. Standard erosion control and slope stabilization measures will
be required for work performed in any area where erosion
could lead to sedimentation of a waterbody. For example, silt
fencing will be installed just outside the limits of grading and
construction in any areas where such activities will occur
upslope from, and within 50 ft of, any wetland, aquatic, or
marsh habitat. This silt fencing will be inspected and
maintained regularly throughout the duration of construction.
4. Machinery will be refueled at least 50 ft from any aquatic
habitat, and a spill prevention and response plan will be
developed. All workers will be informed of the importance of
preventing spills and of the appropriate measures to take
should a spill occur.

occur under new building loads, the OPSP applicant must consider
the use of deep foundations such as driven piles. Specific
recommendations for suitable deep foundation alternatives and
required penetrations will be provided during the course of a
design-level geotechnical investigation and will depend on factors
such as the depth and hardness of the underlying clays, sands or
bedrock, and the corrosivity of the waste materials and Bay Mud
soils. Suitable deep foundation types may include driven precast,
prestressed concrete piles or driven closed-end steel pipe piles
with the interior of the pile filled with concrete after driving.
Deep foundations shall extend through all waste materials and Bay
Mud and be tipped in underlying stiff to hard clays, dense sands or
weathered bedrock. Where waste and Bay Mud soils underlie the
site, wall and column loads as well as floor slabs shall be founded
on deep foundations. Settlement of properly-designed and
constructed deep foundation elements is typically less than about
one-half inch. The majority of settlement typically occurs during
construction as the loads are applied.
Where landfill waste and Bay Mud are not present (possibly at
extreme western and northwestern edges of the site) and
competent soil or bedrock are present near the ground surface
(within about 5 feet of finished grade elevation), shallow
foundations such as footings or mats may be appropriate
foundation types, as determined during the course of a design-
level geotechnical investigation. Where proposed structures
straddle a transition zone between these conditions, a
combination of shallow and deep foundations may be required.

have a pointed tip configuration. If a drill is used, it should only
loosen and break up in-place obstructions that may cause pile
damage. During recent subsurface investigations reported by
Treadwell & Rollo (2009b) obstructions including concrete rubble
was encountered throughout the landfill area, particularly in the
northern end of the site. Even with predrilling, precast concrete
piles could be damaged during installation at a landfill site such as
Oyster Point. For preliminary planning purposes, a precast
concrete pile breakage rate during installation of 10 to 15 percent
may be considered applicable.
Piles usually have to include pointed tip configurations to avoid
pushing landfill waste downward. These configurations are
typically readily accommodated by pile driving contractors.
Geo-5c: Indicator Pile Program. Prior to specifying the lengths of
the production piles, drive indicator piles at the structure sites in
order to observe the driving characteristic of the piles and the
ability of the driving equipment when a driven pile is used. The
driving criteria and pile length of production piles shall also be
estimated from the information obtained from driving of the
indicator piles. The contractor shall use the same equipment to
drive both the indicator and production piles. Indicator pile lengths
and locations shall be selected by the Geotechnical Engineer, in
conjunction with the Structural Engineer and Contractor after the
foundation plan has been finalized.
The indicator pile program will serve to establish information on
the following:

significant new structure loads or any structures that are
settlement-sensitive shall be founded on deep foundations
extended below the Bay Mud, as recommended in the design-level
Geotechnical Investigation report.
All grading shall be planned to avoid penetrating the landfill cap
and to reduce the amount of long-term settlement in response to
new fills. Because the Bay Mud and waste across most of the site
are still settling under the weight of existing fill and waste
decomposition and will settle more under new fills, additional
settlement should be expected, with the creation of localized low-
lying surface areas. Existing low areas shall be corrected during site
grading to allow for proper drainage. Long-term maintenance
planning for the development shall also include provisions for
periodic grading to correct drainage problems and improve site
grades, as outlined in the Disposition and Development
Agreement.
The Geotechnical Engineer will recommend other site-specific
recommendations based on the results of the design-level
Geotechnical Investigation to mitigate on-going settlement and

areas to be re-deposited on-site.
○ Divide excavation areas into daily sections; plan to
complete excavation and backfilling a section during each
working day. Minimize the time period that refuse is
exposed.
○ Review existing boring data and existing site
documentation to evaluate potential subsurface materials
to be encountered.
○ Stake out area to be excavated.
○ If excavation is to be conducted at depths where
groundwater is to be encountered, conduct dewatering to
minimize worker potential direct contact with
groundwater. Removed groundwater shall be treated in
accordance with the requirements outlined in the Site

○ Upon reaching over-excavation depth, place a minimum
of 6-inch thick layer of appropriate backfill soil on
excavation bottom to seal exposed refuse surface. Place
soil by the end of the same day excavation is completed.
○ Upon completion of excavation, begin cap placement
procedures.
Specific measures shall be targeted to minimize the duration of
waste exposure, plan for appropriate final destination of wastes
based on the presence of contaminants of concern, allow for
adjustment in plan based on unexpected occurrences, and to
protect worker safety and the public. Additional work plan
measures are discussed in Haz-4a. In addition, worker protection

and the environment shall be provided in the plan. At a minimum,
the plan shall include the following:
1) Requirements for site specific Health and Safety Plans (HASP)
shall be prepared in accordance with OSHA regulations by all
contractors at the OPSP area. This includes a HASP for all
demolition, grading and excavation on the site, as well as for
future subsurface maintenance work. The HASP shall include
appropriate training, any required personal protective equipment,
and monitoring of contaminants to determine exposure. The HASP
shall be reviewed and approved by a Certified Industrial Hygienist.
The plan shall also designate provisions to limit worker entry and
exposure and shall show locations and type of protective fencing
to prevent public exposure to hazards during demolition, site
grading, and construction activities.
2) Requirements for site-specific construction techniques that
would minimize exposure to any subsurface contamination shall be
developed. This shall include dewatering techniques to minimize
direct exposure to groundwater during construction activities,
treatment and disposal measures for any contaminated
groundwater removed from excavations, trenches, and dewatering
systems in accordance with local and Regional Water Quality
Control Board guidelines. Groundwater encountered in
excavations shall not be discharged into the neighboring storm
drain, but into a closed containment facility, unless proven to have
concentrations of contaminants below established regulatory
guidelines. Extracted contaminated groundwater shall be required
to be stored in tanks or other sealed container until tested. If
testing determines that the water can be discharged into the
sanitary sewer system, then the applicant shall acquire a ground
water discharge permit from the City of South San Francisco
Sanitary Sewer District and meet local discharge limits before

being allowed to discharge into the sanitary sewer. Water shall be
analyzed for the chemicals of concern at the site, including
benzene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, chlorobenzene, naphthalene and
additional compounds as requested by the receiving facility or the
City of South San Francisco.
3) Waste relocation. Relocation or removal of existing landfill
waste/refuse will be required for landfill cap upgrades and for site
construction. Excavated waste can either be re-deposited on site
or disposed of at an active landfill facility. Off-site disposal will
require pre-characterization of the waste for acceptance at an
approved waste disposal facility. Waste manifests will be prepared
to document transportation and disposal. On-site disposal shall
require proper placement, compaction, and capping of the refuse
material. In either case, segregation of Class 2 and Class 3 from
Class 1 material for disposal purposes shall be performed on-site to
the extent possible. No Class 1 material shall be relocated or re-
deposited on-site. BAAQMD Regulation 8 Rule 34 section 118
documents a limited exemption for construction activities at
landfill sites. This section specifies that when the construction
activities are related to “installing, expanding, replacing, or
repairing components of the landfill gas, leachate, or gas
condensate collection and removal systems.” Excavation for cap
upgrades falls under this exemption. Excavation for construction
purposes will also likely fall under this exemption. As such it will be
necessary to provide BAAQMD with construction plans and other
documentation as detailed under this regulation for the purposes
of obtaining a letter of exemption from BAAQMD. Excavation
procedures are also discussed in Measure Haz-2.
4) Future subsurface work plan. The plan shall document
procedures for future subsurface landscaping work, utility
maintenance, etc., with proper notification, where applicable. The

Haz-6b: Landfill Gas System. Section 21160 of Title 27 of the CCR
requires that closed landfills implement and maintain landfill gas
control. A landfill gas (LFG) venting system shall be placed under
the bottom slabs of each structure built entirely or partially over
landfill material, to collect and vent the build up of gases diffusing
through the landfill cap. The LFG system shall include spray-applied
vapor barrier membranes, horizontal collection and passive
venting, gas detection and monitoring. The system shall either
have backup active collection and venting or shall be designed to
facilitate retrofitting with an active system, if measures warrant
the retrofit. Potential migration of LFG into the building space shall
be mitigated by the collection and venting system, and secondly by
the spray-applied membrane. Subsurface landfill gases shall be
vented by a network of perforated piping placed beneath the
building slabs. The exhaust gases shall be manifolded to a series of
riser piping that is to be vented above structure roofs. Passive
landfill gas systems do not require permits, however if an active
system is installed, either at the time of construction or as part of a
retrofit, a BAAQMD permit will be needed.

Util-2b: Oyster Point Subtrunk Replacement. To provide the
required sewer capacity, the Oyster Point Subtrunk will need to be
replaced with a larger sized trunk line, with sizes ranging from 12,
15, and 18-inches.
The majority of these improvements are included in the Sewer
Master Plan and are funded through a flat-rate sewer connection
fee for new development and a monthly impact fee. The amount
of the impact fee is based on the quantity (flow) of wastewater
generated. The occupants of the proposed OPSP shall pay the
sanitary sewer fees imposed by the City of South San Francisco in
order to mitigate the cost of the sewer system upgrades necessary
to manage the wastewater flows generated by the OPSP.
An additional 700 feet of 8-inch diameter sewer trunk from Eccles
Avenue to Gull Road needs to be upsized to a 12-inch diameter
trunk sewer. This segment of sewer trunk was not included in the
recommendations in the Sewer Master Plan. The applicants shall
either work with the City to include this improvement in an Sewer
Master Plan update or directly fund their fair share of the
improvement.

A.General Findings
1.The foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this Resolution.
2.The Exhibits attached to this Resolution,including Conditions of Project Approval (Exhibit A),Oyster
Point Hotel Project Plan Set (Exhibit B),and the Transportation Demand Management Plan (Exhibit C
),and Development Agreement (Exhibit F)are each incorporated by reference and made a part of this
Resolution, as if set forth fully herein.
3.The documents and other material constituting the record for these proceedings are located at the
Planning Division for the City of South San Francisco,315 Maple Avenue,South San Francisco,CA
94080, and in the custody of the Planning Manager, Tony Rozzi.
By a separate resolution,the Planning Commission,exercising its independent judgment and analysis made
the findings contained in that Resolution and recommended that the City Council make a determination
that the environmental effects of the proposed Project were sufficiently analyzed under the 2011 Oyster
Point Specific Plan EIR (EIR)pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)Guidelines
Sections 15162 and 15168 and no additional environmental review is required.The Planning
Commission also recommended that the City Council make a determination that the environmental
checklist also demonstrates that the proposed project qualifies for streamlining under CEQA Guidelines
Section 15183,as there are no project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its
site.
4.The proposed Project is consistent and compatible with all elements in the City of South San Francisco
General Plan,as it will help the City implement several broad General Plan goals,including but not
limited to:maintaining a balanced land use program that provides opportunities for continued economic
growth,and building intensities that reflect South San Francisco’s prominent inner bay location and
excellent regional access.
5.The proposed Project is consistent with the standards and requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance.

File #:22-903 Agenda Date:11/3/2022
Version:1 Item #:4b.
5.The proposed Project is consistent with the standards and requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance.
The development of the Project Site would result in the construction of new 350 room hotel as
anticipated in the Oyster Point Specific Plan.
6.The site is physically suitable for the type of development and density proposed,as an existing vacant
underutilized site will be developed as a 350 room hotel that meets the City’s land use and zoning
standards, and the Oyster Point Specific Plan.
B.Design Review
1.The project is consistent with the applicable standards and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
because,as conditioned,the project meets all of the development standards of the Oyster Point Specific
Plan District in the South San Francisco Municipal Code including but not limited to floor area,height,
lot coverage, and land use.
2.The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and the Oyster Point Specific Plan District,
including the goals,policies,and implementation measures and will minimize the effects of traffic,
parking,storm water run-off,and construction dust and emissions on adjacent land uses and properties
in the project vicinity.
o Allow parking reductions for projects that have agreed to implement trip reduction methods (4.3
-I-18, Transportation Element);
o Require new development pay a fair share of the cost of street and other traffic and
transportation improvements (4.2-I-7, Transportation Element);
o Adopt the standard construction dust abatement measures included in BAAQMD’s CEQA
Guidelines.These measures would reduce particulate emissions from construction and grading
activities. (7.3-I-3, Conservation and Open Space Element); and
o Encourage land use and transportation strategies that promote use of alternatives to the
automobile for transportation,including bicycling,bus transit,and carpooling (7.3-G-4,
Conservation and Open Space Element)
3.The Project is consistent with the applicable design guidelines adopted by the City Council;because the
proposed Hotel building includes adequate design features to create architectural interest and avoid a large-
scale,bulky and “box-like”appearance.Long facades are broken up into smaller visual components
through variations in form and texture.Wall planes are varied and exterior building walls vary in depth
and/or direction.Building walls exhibit offsets,recesses,or projections with significant depth,or a repeated
pattern of offsets,recesses,or projections of smaller depth.There is variety in height and roof forms.
Building height is varied so that portions of the building have a change in height and are varied over
different portions of the building through changes in the roof parapets,elevators and stairway projections.
The building façade incorporates details such as window recesses and changes in material.The use of

The building façade incorporates details such as window recesses and changes in material.The use of
materials,textures,and colors enhance architectural interest and emphasize details and changes in plane.
Some of the architectural features of the main façade are incorporated into the rear and side elevations.
4.The Project is consistent with Findings for Approval for the other entitlements the project requires
including use permit and a transportation demand management (TDM)program as detailed in the staff
report and findings. In summary:
a)The hotel land use is a permitted use in the Oyster Point Specific Plan District and the hotel use
supports the Oyster Point Specific Plan vision for a hotel at this site that serves airport clientele
and visitor serving uses, as well as, reduced trips and parking.
b)The project satisfies the Use Permit Findings for reduced parking for airport oriented hotels.
c)The project is consistent with TDM Findings by offering numerous trip reduction measures to
employees and guests that will reduce trips.
5.The Project is consistent with the applicable design review criteria in South San Francisco Municipal
Code Section 20.480.006 (“Design Review Criteria”)because the project has been reviewed and
recommended for approval by the Design Review Board on May 17,2022 because it was found to be
consistent with each of the following eight design review criteria included in the “Design Review Criteria”
section of the Ordinance.
1.The site subject to design review shall be graded and developed with due regard for the natural
terrain,aesthetic quality,and landscaping so as not to impair the environmental quality,value,or stability of
the site or the environmental quality or value of improved or unimproved property in the area.
2. A building, structure, or sign shall:
a)Reasonably relate to its site and property in the immediate and adjacent areas;
b)Not be of such poor quality of design as to adversely affect the environmental quality or
desirability of the immediate areas or neighboring areas; and
c)Not unreasonably interfere with the occupancy,environmental quality,or the stability and value
of improved or unimproved real property or have an unreasonable detrimental effect on the
health, safety, and general welfare of the community.
3.New additions to existing residential dwellings shall be architecturally compatible with the primary
residential unit, with respect to style, massing, roof pitch, color and materials.
4.A site shall be developed to achieve a harmonious relationship with the area in which it is located
and adjacent areas,allowing a reasonable similarity of style or originality,which does not impair the
environmental quality or value of improved or unimproved property or prevent appropriate development

environmental quality or value of improved or unimproved property or prevent appropriate development
and use of such areas or produce degeneration of properties in such areas with attendant deterioration of
conditions affecting the health, safety, and general welfare of the City.
5.Parking areas shall be designed and developed to buffer surrounding land uses;compliment
pedestrian-oriented development;enhance the environmental quality of the site,including minimizing
stormwater run-off and the heat-island effect; and achieve a safe, efficient, and harmonious development.
6.Open space,pedestrian walks,signs,illumination,and landscaping (including irrigation)shall be
designed and developed to enhance the environmental quality of the site,achieve a safe,efficient,and
harmonious development,and accomplish the objectives set forth in the precise plan of design and design
criteria.
7.Electrical and mechanical equipment or works and fixtures and trash storage areas shall be designed
and constructed so as not to detract from the environmental quality of the site.Electrical and mechanical
equipment or works and fixtures and trash storage areas shall be concealed by an appropriate architectural
structure which uses colors and materials harmonious with the principal structure,unless a reasonable
alternative is identified.
8.Components considered in design review shall include but not be limited to exterior design,
materials,textures,colors,means of illumination,landscaping,irrigation,height,shadow patterns,parking,
access,security,safety,and other usual on-site development elements.(Ord.1544 §2,2017;Ord.1432 §2,
2010)
C.Transportation Demand Management Plan
1.The proposed trip reduction measures are feasible and appropriate for the project,considering the
proposed use or mix of uses and the project’s location,size,and hours of operation based on a detailed
review of the Transportation Demand Management plan for the proposed hotel which outlines numerous
trip reduction measures applicable to both guests and employees including but not limited to subsidized
transit passes for employees encouraging uses of Caltrain,BART,SF Bay Ferry and SamTrans services,
bicycle storage showers and lockers and repair,and strategies to reduce employee commutes such as
carpool/vanpool ridematching,guaranteed ride home programs,and free parking for carpool/vanpools
just to name a few.All of these and more trip reduction measures discussed in the project TDM plan are
feasible and relevant to the operation of the proposed hotel land use and it’s guests and employees.
2.The proposed performance guarantees will ensure that the target alternative mode use established for the
project by this chapter will be achieved and maintained because the project TDM program demonstrates
that trip reduction is feasible with the implementation of the proposed measure outlined in the TDM
program for hotel occupants,visitors,guests and employees which will be monitored on a yearly basis
as part of the annual reporting requirements.

Version:1 Item #:4b.
1.Distance the hotel or motel is located from the airport. Airport-oriented hotels and motels are usually
located no further than three miles from the San Francisco International Airport.The proposed Hotel would
be located within three miles of the San Francisco International (SFO) Airport’s border.
2.Availability of airport bus and/or limousine service.The location of this hotel will be served by various
airport shuttle, bus and limousine services
3.Proximity of auto rental agencies to the site. Additional parking may be required for rental facilities on
the site.Since San Francisco International Airport is located in close proximity to the hotel there are many
rental car services nearby. There are approximately 6-8 car rental facilities all within less than 3 miles of
the proposed hotel.
4.Availability of parking facilities adjoining the site which have peak use hours different from peak hours
of the hotel or motel.In the project vicinity there is a combination of several large scale public and private
surface parking lots which would have alternate parking peaks from the hotel.
5.Documentation of actual use of parking spaces at an existing and comparable facility for an extended
period of time.Parking demand estimated using standard rates published by ITE in Parking Generation,
5th Edition is expected to be 259 parking spaces, a deficit of 27 spaces. However, with the implementation
of the TDM plan measures, discussed further in the following section, the proposed parking supply is
expected to be adequate.
6.Availability of on-site meeting rooms and conference facilities.The project as proposed would provide
approximately 14,300 square feet of on-site meeting rooms and conference facilities.
7.Designation of additional parking spaces to allow for extended parking for guests using the airport.As
proposed, the Hotel would not be providing extended parking (e.g., for long-term airport parking). As
proposed, the parking stalls would be solely for overnight guests and employees.
8.In determining the required number of off-street parking spaces needed for an airport-oriented hotel or
motel,the Planning Commission shall include provisions for additional off-street parking spaces to serveCity of South San Francisco Printed on 10/28/2022Page 6 of 7
powered by Legistar™374
File #:22-903 Agenda Date:11/3/2022
Version:1 Item #:4b.
motel,the Planning Commission shall include provisions for additional off-street parking spaces to serve
employee needs at the rate of one-half space per employee and for related uses such as restaurants and
conference/meeting rooms.As calculated the provided parking includes parking spaces to serve employee
needs and any ancillary uses.
E. Development Agreement
1.The Development Agreement is consistent with the objectives,policies,general land uses and programs
specified in the General Plan and the Oyster Point Specific Plan because the Development Agreement will
permit the development of a project that furthers the General Plan’s goals,policies,and implementation
measures and would facilitate the construction of a hotel at the location that the Specific Plan designates for
a hotel;
2.The Development Agreement is compatible with the uses authorized in,and the regulations prescribed
for the land use district in which the real property is located because Oyster Point Specific Plan designates
the project site for a hotel land use;
3.The Development Agreement is in conformity with public convenience,general welfare and good land
use practice because the Development Agreement will permit the development of a hotel that will provide
high quality amenities and event space available to the public,support travel and tourism in the City,as well
as provide a resource for surrounding businesses to accommodate travelers and hold meetings;
4.The Development Agreement is not detrimental to the health,safety and general welfare because the
Development Agreement will permit the development of a high quality hotel on a vacant,underutilized site
and will provide for ongoing maintenance and monitoring of conditions on a former landfill site;
5.The Development Agreement will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the
preservation of property valued because the Development Agreement will permit the development of a hotel
on a site that was identified for such development in the Specific Plan and the hotel will support
surrounding uses.

PARKS DEPARTMENT
The following Parks Department comments shall be addressed on the plans submitted for building
permit:
1.Page 21/22: L7.00 & L7.01 - Cercis occidentalis will not survive at this location. Both species
of redbuds have been tried all through out SSF and the wind and climate do not allow for them to
grow well if they even survive. - Myoporum laetum are significantly impacted by thrips in this
area. These trees were previously growing at this site and were all declining due to repeated thrip
attacks. - Parking areas should not have Podocarpus gracilior due to their tendency to damage
hardscaped areas with root intrusion. The high winds will cause roots to seek hold further away
into the windward side and will damage the paving significantly. - Laurus nobilis can vector
Sudden Oak Death and verified clean stock must be used when planting. - Site is incredibly windy
and redwoods should only be planted between the hotel and the bay to have the building block
wind. If not these trees will be repeatedly topped by the wind and will never reach potential and
look terrible.
2.Page 24: L8.01 – There are notice low water use plants mixed with moderate water use plants in
the shrub schedule. Plants should be hydrozoned based off water needs across species and have
valves dedicated to each water requirement for those species. This conflicts with irrigation legend
where low water use shrubs are shown in highlighting the bioswales on page L9.00 and yet
moderate water use plants are called for in the bioswale areas on page L8.01. Please fix this or
explain how this is being thought about and justified.
392
Page 18
3.Page 30: A1.00 - This plan shows an old version of the recreation parcel to the west of the hotel.
This parcel plan has significantly changed and should be reflected in these plans and contemplated
in designing of building. This should be coordinated with the City.
Please have applicant contact Joshua Richardson at Parks Department with any questions at
Joshua.Richardson@ssf.net.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Owner
1. INTRODUCTION:
Ensemble Real Estate Investments (“Applicant”) proposes to develop a full-service hotel on the peninsula of Oyster Point designated within South
San Francisco specific plan (formal address yet to be assigned). The applicant seeks approval of the Precise Plan (“Entitlements”) by the end of 2022
with the intent of submitting to the building department for permit approval by the end of 2023. The project intends to service the Oyster Point
developments currently under construction or planned to be built by Kilroy Reality while also providing public amenities to the broader community East
of the 101 area.
2. SETTING:
The property is approximately 204,742 square foot parcel (4.70 acres; APN: 015-011-350) that sits on the peninsula of the Oyster Point specific plan and
is dedicated for a future hotel development. The site is flanked by the existing marina to the north and the San Francisco bay to the south. The Bay
Trail extends along the southern edge of the site and connects around the end of the peninsula. To the west of the site a dedicated public open space
is planned while to the east are existing commercial buildings and parking lots with access to the South San Francisco Ferry Terminal. The site is a
“Brownfield site” that has been regraded and capped by Kilroy Reality, the master developer of the specific plan, and is currently sitting vacant, ready
for development.
3. PROPOSED PROJECT
a. Project Features
The proposed project would consist of a maximum 350 hotel rooms, restaurant, lobby lounge, event ballroom, meeting rooms, fitness facilities, roof
top bar and the associated back of house facilities to service the amenities. Hotel amenities, specifically the restaurant, lounge, and roof top bar, are
intended to be available to the public and provide views both north and south across the San Francisco Bay. Access to the existing north-south bay trail
path is considered across the site landscape as well as connections back to the primary pedestrian paths along Marina Blvd.
In total the gross building area is approximately 261,000 square feet in habitable area, with the potential to expand in a future phase with an additional
14,200 square feet of function and meeting space and will provide a total of 249 parking spaces of which all of them are intended to be fully valet
operated. A screened loading dock and yard with space allocated for two dedicated service trucks is provided adjacent to the back of house facilities
with access through the central parking lot.
The building will be classified high-rise at 12 habitable floors with the last floor served sitting at 119ft above grade. Additional height is considered at the
top of the building for mechanical equipment screening and elevator overruns that will put the overall height of the building at approximately 165 feet
ASL and 146 ft above finish grade.
b. Requested Approvals
The applicant plans to submit the Precise Plan application by April 29, 2022 and is seeking approval of the project’s Precise Plan by the end of calendar
year 2022.
Pending approval of the precise plan, the Applicant intends to submit the project plans for construction permit by the end of 2023.
Additional review will be submitted to the FAA for confirmation of building height with respect to the airport approach corridors.
c. Public Benefits
The Project aims to fill the market need, providing a 4-star hotel to service the growing business developments within the Oyster Point specific plan
and surrounding areas. The project will provide additional function and meeting space while being positioned at an International Audience for business
travelers. The project amenities will provide an anchor for the community with its food and beverage offerings as well as gathering opportunities within
the lounge and bar spaces.
The hotel can further support the potential for a future ferry terminal proposed by the South San Francisco City within the marina to the north of the
hotel while providing employment and career opportunities for the South San Francisco workforce.

Memorandum
Date: October 19, 2022
To: Randy McPherson, Ensemble and Christy Usher, City of South San Francisco
From: Daniel Jacobson, Fehr & Peers
Subject: Oyster Point Hotel Transportation Demand Management Checklist
SF22-1215
This memorandum provides a transportation demand management (TDM) checklist for the Oyster
Point Hotel project (“Project”) consistent with Chapter 20.400 of the City’s Draft Zoning
Amendment Ordinance. As a Tier 2 project, the Project is required to submit a TDM checklist of
required and optional trip reduction measures that achieve a minimum threshold of 30 points. An
annual self-certification form is required for the first 20 years after occupancy confirming the
implementation of these measures.
Summary of TDM Checklist
The project would implement all required measures. Programmatic measures would include
transit pass subsidies, participation in Commute.org programs, carpool/vanpool programs, and a
dedicated TDM coordinator. Bicycle and pedestrian-oriented site access would focus on new
connections to the Bay Trail and direct paths of access to Marina Boulevard and nearby transit
facilities, as illustrated in the Project’s site plan. Bicycle storage, showers, and lockers would also
be provided. As a hotel, employee work shifts would typically not revolve around a ‘9 to 5’
schedule, so Project commute behavior would be consistent with the City’s goals to reduce peak
period travel.
The project would implement two optional TDM measures. First, the project would fully subsidize
transit passes for its employees, encouraging use of Caltrain, BART, SF Bay Ferry, and SamTrans
services. Second, the project would utilize a shared parking approach to right-size parking supply
for the hotel, restaurant, and special event uses. As described in the project’s Parking
Management Plan, the shared parking approach would include strategies to manage vehicle trips
associated with special events through offering trip planning assistance via the site’s TDM
coordinator.

1. Introduction
This report presents a Parking Management Plan as required per the City of South San Francisco Zoning
Code for a proposed hotel at 367 Marina Boulevard, herein referred to as the “Project.” The City requires
that hotels provide justification documenting expected demand based on project features as well as the
project’s approach to management and monitoring of parking. This study analyzes potential parking
demand based and proposes several practices to manage supply and demand should any imbalances
occur. Based on the analysis presented in this report, the Project’s proposed parking supply is expected to
adequately serve typical demand. Parking management strategies are presented to handle occasional
surges in special event demand.
Project Description
The Project is located at 367 Marina Boulevard adjacent to the South San Francisco Ferry Terminal. The
Project consists of approximately 350 hotel rooms, 10,300 square feet of dining space, and 14,300 square
feet of meeting rooms. An 8,000 square foot ballroom may be added in a future phase. The Project would
provide 232 parking spaces, of which 33 would be valet spaces. The Project includes three driveways
along Marina Boulevard and a public access trail along the eastern edge of the site connecting to the Bay
Trail. Figure 1 depicts the proposed parking layout, while Figure 2 illustrates the site plan program.

Figure 2: Site Plan Program
The Project’s parking supply takes into consideration several factors that influence market demand. The
hotel would primarily be oriented toward airport- and business-travelers who are more likely to rely on
Uber and Lyft than rental cars. Additionally, the hotel is located within walking distance of a number of
office/R&D campuses and is served by Commute.org shuttles, planned SamTrans service, and WETA ferry
service. The availability of these services coupled with the Project’s transportation demand management
(TDM) program suggests lower parking demand than typical suburban hotel sites.
While occasional surges in parking demand may occur during special events, the applicant anticipates that
this may be addressed through management strategies tailored to each event. A parking management
plan is provided in the final section of this report.

2. Parking Demand Analysis
This report analyzes parking demand via two methods: the first method uses a shared parking method to
analyze the Project’s proposed uses based on national data, which the second reviews national and local
data focused on peak demand. Combined, these methods offer insights into how the Project’s parking
demand may be affected by its mix of uses and location in South San Francisco.
Shared Parking Method
The ULI Shared Parking Manual provides estimates hotel parking demand based on the mix of uses
specific to the Project. It estimates that hotel visitors generate a weekday demand of about 0.58 parking
spaces per room, and hotel employees generate a demand of 0.15 parking spaces per room. Other
features of the proposed Project can be reflected in the ULI calculations as well, including its restaurant
and meeting room space.
The ULI Shared Parking Manual also calculates how parking demand varies by time of day. For employees,
parking demand would be at its peak between 8 AM and 3 PM; for guests, parking demand would peak at
11 PM. At other times of day, parking demand for each group would be below its respective peaks.
The ULI Shared Parking method estimates the Project’s typical peak parking demand to be 234 spaces,
which would fluctuate by time of day and day of the week (Figure 3). These calculations are provided in
Appendix A. ULI does not take into account a project’s proximity to other land uses, use of transit or ride-
hailing, or presence of a TDM program, so this estimate may be interpreted as slightly higher than what
may be expected of the Project.
Based on the ULI method, the Project’s proposed parking supply of 232 spaces appears roughly consistent
with typical demand, although peak demand during the morning may reach 234 spaces. While the
Project’s location and likelihood of higher rates of walking, biking, transit, carpooling, and ride-hailing
should help reduce demand, the ULI method suggests that demand may occasionally meet or exceed the
Project’s supply. If such periods occur, supply should be actively managed using practices noted in
Section 3.

Peak Parking Demand Method
National and local data sources are also available to estimate peak parking demand. While these sources
lack specificity on how a mix of uses affects hotel parking demand, they provide further insights on how
hotel parking demand may vary – which is especially true of recent local data that reflects changing
transportation conditions in the Bay Area.
ITE Data
Data from the ITE Parking Generation Manual (5th Edition) provides industry-accepted standards for
estimating parking demand for different land uses based on nationwide research and data collection. The
ITE Parking Generation Manual projects that standard hotels with meeting rooms and restaurant spaces
would generate a typical peak parking demand of 0.74 spaces per hotel room, which translates to about
259 spaces for the proposed Project. The peak parking demand rate represents the maximum number of
parking spaces used at a single point in time. However, there could be several (or many) hours throughout
the day in which parking demand would be lower than the maximum rate.

ITE’s data has several limitations: it lacks specificity in documenting the location, timeframe, and mix of
uses in which its data was sampled, and many of its datapoints are from suburban locations out of state
that predated Uber and Lyft, with different mixes of amenities present. For these reasons, ITE tends to be a
less reliable source for estimating hotel parking demand, and is presented in this report for informational
purposes.
Local Data
Recent data collected in the Bay Area demonstrates how hotel parking demand is changing over time.
Data was available from 47 days of observation across 19 different hotels. These studies were conducted
between 2014 and 2019 in the cities of South San Francisco, Burlingame, San Mateo, Belmont, San Carlos,
Redwood City, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino. Hotels within the sample ranged in
size from 56 to 187 guest rooms. See Appendix B for a complete list of hotels studied.
In each study, parking counts were conducted across multiple hours in the day. In some cases, parking
counts were available for the full day of data collection; for others, only the peak observed parking count
was reported. For each hotel, the peak observed parking demand and the number of hotel rooms were
then used to calculate the peak parking demand rate. Like the ITE data, these local studies share the
limitations of insufficient documentation of the mix of hotel uses, and are typically smaller in scale than
the proposed Project.
On average, the peak observed parking demand rate was 0.50 spaces per hotel room. The highest
observed peak demand rate was 0.84 spaces per hotel room, and the lowest was 0.28 spaces per room.
Figure 4 below displays the relationship between hotel size (by number of rooms) and peak parking
demand rate - there was no correlation between hotel size and parking demand rate.
Figure 4. Peak Parking Demand Rate by Hotel Size
Avg = 0.50

Of the 47 observations, 29 included information about how many hotel rooms were occupied during the
period of data collection; 22 of those 29 hotels were more than 90 percent occupied. At hotels that were
more than 90 percent occupied, the average peak parking demand was 0.52 spaces per hotel room
(approximately equivalent to the average for all hotels in the sample). These results suggest that even
when a hotel is fully occupied, a large proportion of guests do not travel by car or require a parking space.
The rise of ride-hailing over the past decade has changed how people travel when visiting hotels. Figure 5
illustrates peak parking demand rates observed by year, illustrating an overall downtrend in hotel parking
demand. Among the sites sampled, in 2015, the peak parking demand rate observed was 0.74 spaces per
hotel room (similar to ITE’s estimate); in 2019, the peak parking demand rate at that hotel was 0.40 spaces
per room. While these results do not reflect a true before/after study of parking demand at the same sites,
they suggest that hotel parking demand declined over time as travelers replaced rental cars with ride-
hailing trips.
Based on the local data presented above, peak parking demand for the proposed Project is estimated to
be roughly 140 to 182 spaces. To some extent, the proposed Project’s proximity to transit and other land
uses within walking distance may further reduce parking demand compared to some other sites surveyed.
However, this range may be an underestimate as it may not fully take into account the effects of larger
events that are more typical of a larger hotel compared to the smaller hotels sampled. For these reasons,
the Project’s 232 parking spaces appears adequate to meet demand, but there is some uncertainty in how
this could vary with larger events.

3. Parking Management Practices
This parking demand analysis illustrates that the Project’s parking supply of 232 spaces should generally
be sufficient to accommodate demand under typical peak conditions. Local data suggests typical peak
parking demand may be as low as 140 to 182 spaces, while the ULI Shared Parking model suggests
parking demand may reach 234 spaces. There is uncertainty in both estimation methods associated with
special events and the Project’s unique location, which may result in larger fluctuations in demand and a
lower overall auto mode share than national and local data points.
For these reasons, the Project should actively monitor parking conditions to prepare for typical surges in
demand (occurring on a daily/weekly basis) and atypical surges demand (occurring due to large special
events held at the hotel. When parking demand nears or exceeds supply, the hotel operator shall
implement the following parking management practices:
▪ TDM Program: The hotel operator shall implement a TDM program as required by the City’s
ordinance and documented in the Project’s TDM Checklist.
▪ Event Planning: Event sponsors shall work with the hotel operator to develop a parking
management approach tailored to the scale and market of each event.
▪ Valet Parking: During typical daily/weekly peak periods and for special events, the hotel operator
should expand valet parking areas or shift to an all-valet system while scaling up valet staffing as
necessary. As a first step, employee parking should be fully valet at all times.
▪ Offsite Parking: For larger events, the hotel operator should establish partnerships with offsite
parking facilities for valet and self-park use. Offsite parking is particularly useful for evening events
and on days when adjacent lots are not full.
▪ Shuttle Charters or Ride-Hailing Promotions: If valet and offsite parking not able to fully
accomodate larger events due to scheduling conflicts, the hotel operator should work with event
sponsors to establish shuttle charters or ride-hailing credit promotions for event attendees. Shuttle
charters may be more suitable to events oriented toward specific employers in the East of 101 Area,
while ride-hailing credit promotions may be more suited toward events targeting a wider audience.
▪ Trip Planning Assistance: For all events, the hotel operator and event sponsor should provide trip
planning assistance that prominently features wayfinding instructions for transit, active
transportation, and ride-hailing access as well as instructions for valet or offsite parking. Non-auto
modes of access should be promoted to reduce overall vehicle trips to the site, especially for events
targeted to employers within the East of 101 Area.
▪ Event Monitoring: The hotel operator shall be responsible for monitoring parking demand for
special events and adjust its management practices as needed.
By implementing these parking management practices, the hotel operator should be able to minimize
instances of parking shortages associated with special events and other typical surges in demand.

Memorandum
Date: October 21, 2022
To: Rebecca Auld, Lamphier Gregory and Christy Usher, City of South San Francisco
From: Daniel Jacobson and Emily Chen, Fehr & Peers
Subject: Oyster Point Hotel Transportation Assessment
SF22-1215
This memorandum provides a transportation assessment for a proposed hotel located within the
Oyster Point Specific Plan area in South San Francisco (“Project”). It includes an analysis of travel
demand, site access and circulation, and vehicle miles traveled, as well as a comparison to the
analysis provided in the Oyster Point Specific Plan EIR.
Key Findings
• The Project’s hotel and restaurant uses are unlikely to materially increase vehicle miles
traveled due to the Project’s proximity to office/R&D uses and the San Francisco
International Airport.
• The Project’s size and trip generation is well within the estimated trip generation
envelope of the Specific Plan Area and therefore consistent with the transportation
analysis in the Specific Plan EIR.
• Access and circulation illustrated in the Project’s conceptual site plan is consistent with
the Oyster Point Specific Plan and would not create or exacerbate transportation safety
impacts.
• Based on the above findings, there are no anticipated new impacts to transportation
facilities that were not identified in the Oyster Point Specific Plan EIR.

Project Description
The Project is located on Marina Boulevard near the eastern terminus of Oyster Point Boulevard
adjacent to the South San Francisco Ferry Terminal. The Project consists of up to 350 hotel rooms,
a restaurant and bar, and meeting rooms covering about 261,000 square feet. A ballroom may be
added in a future phase. Approximately 232 parking spaces would be provided (33 of which
would be valet) along with a loading dock that accommodates two service trucks. The Project
includes three driveways along Marina Boulevard and a public access trail along the eastern edge
of the site connecting to the Bay Trail.
Project Setting
Land Use & Transportation Context
The Project is located within the Oyster Point Specific Plan area, an 81 acre redevelopment in
South San Francisco approved in 2011. The Specific Plan includes the development of up to 2.3
million square feet of office/R&D space as well as new infrastructure, recreation and open space,
and the proposed Project. The Specific Plan’s Phase One buildings (660,000 square feet) were
completed in early 2022, while remaining phases are underway. The Project is located along
Marina Boulevard near the eastern terminus of Oyster Point Boulevard, which connects to US-101
and major arterials within South San Francisco. Gull Drive, Eccles Avenue, and Gateway Boulevard
are the nearest north-south streets intersecting with Oyster Point Boulevard.
The South San Francisco Ferry Terminal is located adjacent to the project site, while the South San
Francisco Caltrain station and South San Francisco BART Station are accessible via peak period
shuttle services provided by the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (Commute.org). While
no SamTrans bus service currently serves the site, an extension of Route 130 along the Oyster
Point Boulevard corridor is planned to occur in 2023. New pedestrian and bicycle facilities have
been provided along Oyster Point Boulevard and Marina Boulevard adjacent to the Project site,
including sidewalks, crosswalks, and Class II bike lanes. The Bay Trail covers the perimeter of the
Specific Plan area and has frontage on the southern shoreline of the Project site.

Specific Plan Design Guidelines
The Oyster Point Specific Plan seeks to promote alternative transportation modes to, from and
within the site (Design Goal 3). To accomplish this, it includes the following applicable design
guidelines related to the Project’s site access and circulation:
General Guidelines
• Provide convenient, efficient, and safe access to Oyster Point.
• Maintain and enhance access to adjacent parcels, the waterfront, and the Ferry Terminal.
• Encourage alternative transportation by emphasizing pedestrian, bicycle and transit in the
roadway network design.
• Promote safe pedestrian and vehicular circulation by minimizing conflicts at intersections
and changes in road width and direction.
Service, Delivery and Emergency Access Guidelines
• Service vehicles should be accommodated by the roadway network, with clearly delineated
lane markings, signals, and wayfinding signage.
• Service, delivery and emergency vehicles should have access to both primary as well as
secondary entrances to buildings and facilities.
• These secondary entrances should be limited specifically to service, delivery, and emergency
access.
• Service vehicle driveways and loading areas should be screened and separated from public
pedestrian walkways where possible.
• Secondary access for emergency vehicles will be provided when their access is restricted
from using primary entrances.
Parking Access Guidelines
• Parking access should be clearly delineated by lane markings, signals, and wayfinding
signage.
• Access to and from the parking garages should be located at intersections or from a
dedicated right turn lane.
• Adequate queuing space should be provided at parking garage entrances.
Bicycle Circulation Guidelines
• Bicycle access and parking should be clearly delineated by lane markings and wayfinding
signage.
501
Oyster Point Hotel Transportation Assessment
October 21, 2022
Page 5 of 12
Streetscapes and Sidewalks Guidelines
• Sidewalks should support an interconnected and public development.
• Width of sidewalks should be appropriate to
• accommodate an active development.
• Sidewalks should be inset from roadways with a landscape buffer where possible to promote
pedestrian friendly circulation.
Guidelines to Support the TDM Program
• The site should include dedicated passenger drop- off and shuttle stop areas.
• Pedestrian connections should be provided to connect the buildings and site adjacent
sidewalks, Bay Trail and shuttle stops.
• Bicycle lanes, routes and/or paths should be provided to allow bicycle accessibility to all
buildings at the site.
• The parking areas should provide preferred parking for carpool, vanpool, low-emitting and
fuel-efficient vehicles, and electric plug-in vehicles.
• Parking should be provided for motorcycle and scooters.
• Long-term (Class I) and Short-Term (Class II) bicycle parking should be provided at or
adjacent to all buildings.
• Shower and changing facilities should be provided in or easily accessible from all buildings.
• Transportation and Commute Information Kiosks should be provided at all buildings.
• In addition to the physical measures described above, the TDM program will include
programmatic measures such as informational resources, transit programs, and commuter
amenities.
Project Travel Demand
Project Trip Generation
Vehicle trip estimates for the Project (Table 1) were developed by applying national trip
generation rates presented in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation
Manual 11th Edition to the proposed land uses. Due to the continued disruptions in travel
behavior associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, ITE rates were used in lieu of conducting new
vehicle counts at comparable local sites. ITE Land Use 310 (Hotel) is defined as a place of lodging
and supporting facilities such as a full-service restaurant, bar, meeting rooms, ballrooms, and
convention facilities, which most closely matches the facilities included in the proposed Project.
ITE includes a reasonably large sample size of 28 studies for AM peak hour trip generation data
and 31 studies for PM peak hour trip generation data. Daily trip generation data includes a more
limited sample size of seven studies and may have a higher margin of error.
502
Oyster Point Hotel Transportation Assessment
October 21, 2022
Page 6 of 12
ITE rates are typically derived from suburban settings that lack a mix of land uses within walking
distance; consequently, Fehr & Peers used the trip generation methodology known as MXD+ to
calibrate the trip generation estimates to local conditions and the proximity to adjacent
office/research & development (R&D) uses. The MXD+ method is based on a weighted average
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s MXD Model and the National Cooperative Highway
Research Program’s Report 684 methodology. Additional reductions associated with the
proposed transportation demand management program were not included due to limited data
available for comparable hotel sites
As illustrated in Table 1, the project is projected to generate approximately 2,751 vehicle trips on
an average weekday with about 135 occurring in the AM peak hour and about 204 in the PM
peak hour. These trip generation estimates do not account for the proposed transportation
demand management program, which would further reduce the number of private vehicle trips to
the project.
The Project considers adding a ballroom in a future phase. Since ITE rates are based upon hotels
that typically include ballrooms, the trip generation estimates in Table 1 include travel demand
associated with the future ballroom. Consequently, Table 1 may present an overestimate of travel
demand without the ballroom.

Trip Distribution and Assignment
About half of Project vehicle travel is expected to occur within South San Francisco, Brisbane, San
Bruno, and the San Francisco International Airport. Figure 3 illustrates daily vehicle trip
distribution between traffic analysis zones (TAZs) for nearby clusters of hotels in South San
Francisco and Brisbane based on StreetLight data, which tracks anonymized movement using cell
phone location-based services data. Each site shares similar characteristics as business-oriented
hotels that illustrates comparable travel behavior, offering some combination of meeting rooms,
ballrooms, and restaurant/bar facilities, although most of these sites are generally older and
smaller hotels. Based on this analysis, the Project’s vehicle trip distribution is expected to be most
503

heavily concentrated within the East of 101 Area (15 to 20 percent of trips), to/from the San
Francisco International Airport (10 to 15 percent), and elsewhere in South San Francisco, Brisbane,
or San Bruno (10 to 15 percent). The remaining 50 to 60 percent of trips would mostly be
distributed across San Francisco and San Mateo counties.
Figure 3: Vehicle Trip Distribution for Nearby Hotels in South San Francisco and Brisbane
504
Oyster Point Hotel Transportation Assessment
October 21, 2022
Page 8 of 12
Vehicle trips would be concentrated along Oyster Point Boulevard to access US-101. Upon
reaching US-101, about 50 percent of trips are likely to travel to the south, 40 percent to the
north, and 10 percent continuing along Sister Cities Boulevard. Trips occurring fully within the
East of 101 Area are likely to use Gull Drive, Eccles Avenue, and Gateway Boulevard.
Vehicle Miles Traveled
The Project is a business-oriented hotel primarily serving nearby office/R&D uses and San
Francisco International Airport. Unlike nearby office/R&D land uses in the East of 101 Area that
typically generate vehicle miles, the Project would exhibit characteristics of a local-serving land
use rather than a regional destination. In its Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation
Impacts in CEQA, the State of California’s Office of Planning and Research notes that “local-
serving retail development tends to shorten trips and reduce VMT.”1 Hotels in the East of 101
Area appear to exhibit similar travel behavior as local-serving retail: as illustrated in Figure 3,
vehicle trip lengths for four nearby hotel clusters in South San Francisco and Brisbane tend to be
short and focused around nearby office/R&D uses and the San Francisco International Airport. As
shown in Table 2, the average vehicle trip length for nearby hotels is about four miles, compared
with an average trip length of about 13 miles for other land uses in the East of 101 Area.
Table 2. Trip Length Comparison
East of 101 Area Land Use Average Trip Length
Hotels 3.6-3.9 Miles
Office/R&D and Other Land Uses 12.9 miles
Source: StreetLight data and C/CAG Model
Hotels in the vicinity primarily serve nearby office/R&D uses and the San Francisco International
Airport, as opposed to generating new tourism-oriented or resort-oriented travel. Assuming a
similar travel pattern for the proposed Project as those existing in the vicinity, the Project would
not materially increase vehicle miles traveled and may help shorten trips for hotel guests that
would otherwise stay at hotels farther away. Although the City of South San Francisco does not
have a threshold of significance for VMT associated with hotel uses, the Project may be presumed
to have a less than significant impact to VMT based on the City’s screening criteria for local
serving land uses that do not result in a net increase in VMT.

Specific Plan & City Policy Consistency
Trip Generation
The Specific Plan EIR document published in 2011 estimated that the Specific Plan buildout would
result in 17,684 daily trips, of which 1,873 would occur during the AM peak hour and 2,127 would
occur during the PM peak hour (a net change of about 12,716 daily vehicle trips, 1,402 AM peak
hour trips, and 1,621 PM peak hour trips. As shown in Table 3, the Oyster Point Hotel is expected
to generate in total about 2,751 daily trips, including about 135 AM peak hour trips and 204 PM
peak hour trips. Although the Specific Plan EIR did not break down trip generation by land use,
the Oyster Point Hotel size is consistent with the Specific Plan, is therefore expected to generate a
comparable number of trips as the hotel identified in the Specific Plan EIR. Moreover, its trip
generation is well within the estimated trip generation envelope of the Specific Plan. The Specific
Plan and Project trip generation are summarized in Table 3.

Access & Circulation
Access and circulation illustrated in the Project’s conceptual site plan is consistent with the Oyster
Point Specific Plan. The site plan (Figure 4) includes driveways connecting to Marina Boulevard,
pedestrian connections to the street’s sidewalk, and a Bay Trail connection on its eastern edge as
identified in the Specific Plan.
Service, Delivery and Emergency Access
The Project would provide two onsite loading spaces for commercial deliveries and service
vehicles. The Project would primarily be served by small- to mid-sized box trucks, laundry trucks,
and garbage trucks (all typically 16 to 32 feet). Truck activity is expected to be spread throughout
the day depending on particular functions: for example, garbage trucks typically arrive early
morning, while laundry trucks typically arrive mid-morning (in coordination with housekeeping
services). Service and delivery vehicles would use a screened in loading dock in the middle of the
site. Trucks would enter via the easternmost driveway and conduct a three-point turn within the
parking lot to back into the loading dock. The site plan remains conceptual at the time of this
analysis, but it can be reasonably inferred that the proposed layout can accommodate such trucks
provided that truck turning templates are used to inform the design process.
Larger tractor-trailer vehicles are expected for restaurant delivery. These deliveries would primarily
occur overnight. Tractor-trailer trucks would back in from Marina Boulevard to access the loading
dock. Since the site is located on a relatively low volume street and these deliveries would occur
outside of peak hours, large truck deliveries would not pose conflicts with other modes. Truck
drivers may benefit from approaching the site from the westbound direction (via looping around
the Marina turnaround) to avoid reversing into their blind side when approaching the lot.
The City of South San Francisco requires five loading spaces for a 261,000 square foot commercial
land use. Based on the anticipated loading activity and distribution throughout the day, city
requirements likely exceed anticipated demand, and comparable hotels in the East of 101 Area
typically include one to two loading spaces. The proposed loading supply is expected to be
sufficient provided that hotel management staggers loading activities throughout the day.
Emergency vehicles would have access to all building entrances and facilities as well as the Bay
Trail connection along the east side of the Project.
The Project is therefore consistent with the Specific Plan’s guidelines for efficient service, delivery,
and emergency vehicle access.

Access for the proposed 232 parking spaces would be provided via three driveways along Marina
Boulevard. Each driveway would serve hotel, restaurant, and meeting room uses, with the

westernmost driveway expected to serve as the primary entrance. Since these driveways are
located along the eastern edge of Marina Boulevard, they are likely to account for a majority of
vehicle traffic along the street and are unlikely to pose conflicts with the limited through traffic
that occurs. An analysis of the project’s parking supply is provided in the accompanying Parking
Management Plan.
Figure 5: Parking Layout
Bicycle Access
Bicyclists would access the site via the Project’s driveways. Bicycle parking would be provided per
City code and delineated with signage. The Project would provide 35 bicycle parking spaces,
which is consistent with City code. The Project is consistent with the Specific Plan’s guidelines to
incorporate bicycle travel into projects.
Pedestrian Access
The Project would align with the new sidewalk and trail infrastructure in the Specific Plan Area.
Pedestrians would access the Project via a pathway to the lobby. Pedestrians would access the
South San Francisco Ferry Terminal, Commute.org shuttles, and planned SamTrans service by
crossing Marina Boulevard and walking approximately 300 feet to the east to reach the ferry
terminal entrance and bus/shuttle stop. The Project is consistent with the Specific Plan’s
guidelines to support an interconnected and pedestrian-friendly development.

TDM-Supportive Site Plan Features
The Project would be subject to the City’s TDM Ordinance requirements and would incorporate
site plan elements consistent with these requirements as described above, including a passenger
loading area, direct pedestrian connections to sidewalks and transit facilities, access to bike lanes
and trails, and bike parking. The Project is consistent with the Specific Plan’s guidelines to
encourage alternative forms of transportation. A TDM Checklist is provided as an attachement.
EIR Transportation Impacts
The Oyster Point Specific Plan EIR identifies several significant impacts to transportation facilities,
including intersection delay, freeway delay, and offramp queues. Based on the analysis above, the
Project’s effects would be consistent with this analysis. Since the certification of the EIR, the State
of California has adopted new CEQA guidelines that that vehicle level of service (LOS) and similar
measures related to auto delay shall not be used as the sole basis for determining the significance
of transportation impacts. The Project would contribute toward Transportation Impact Fees to
address multimodal transportation needs around the Specific Plan Area.

Oyster Point Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Developer”), and the City of
South San Francisco, a municipal corporation (“City”), pursuant to California Government Code
(“Government Code”) sections 65864 et seq. Developer and the City are sometimes collectively
referred to herein as “Parties.”
RECITALS
A. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in
comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State
of California enacted California Government Code sections 65864 et seq. (the “Development
Agreements Statute”), which authorizes the City to enter into an agreement with any person
having a legal or equitable interest in real property for the development of such property.
B. Pursuant to Government Code section 65865, City has adopted procedures and
requirements for the consideration of development agreements (South San Francisco Municipal
Code (“SSFMC”) Chapter 19.60). This Agreement has been processed, considered, and executed
in accordance with such procedures and requirements.
C. Developer has a legal and/or equitable interest in certain real property located in
the City at 367 Marina Boulevard, also known as San Mateo County Assessor’s Parcel Number
015-011-350, as more particularly described and depicted in Exhibit A (the “Property”).
D. On March 23, 2011, the City, the South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, and
Oyster Point Ventures, LLC, executed a Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) for
the master development named Oyster Point through a multi-phased project, which included
development of a hotel on the Property, and required Oyster Point Ventures, LLC, to perform
certain site work, grading, and installation of infrastructure to prepare the Property for
development.
E. On December 10, 2021, Developer and City entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (the “PSA”) for Developer’s purchase of the Property
from the City, which PSA is included with this Agreement as Exhibit B. The PSA set forth
Developer’s and City’s intentions to enter into this Agreement to address the details for
development of the Project (as defined below).
F. Developer has requested City to enter into a development agreement and
proceedings have been taken in accordance with the rules and regulations of the City with regard
to Developer’s proposed Project (as defined below).
G. The terms and conditions of this Agreement have undergone extensive review by
Developer, City, and the City of South San Francisco City Council (“City Council”) members and

H. The City Council believes that the best interests of the citizens of the City of South
San Francisco and the public health, safety, and welfare will be served by entering into this
Agreement.
I. This Agreement and the Project will be consistent with the City of South San
Francisco General Plan (“General Plan”), the City’s East of 101 Area Plan, and the Specific Plan
(as defined in Recital M).
J. Development of the Property with the Project in accordance with this Agreement
will provide substantial benefits to City and will further important policies and goals of the City
and San Mateo County. This Agreement will, among other things, secure the right to develop an
up to 350-room full-service hotel facility which is the quality of a “AAA” (or similar rating) four
diamond or higher hotel Project that will benefit the City by (1) advancing the City economic
development goals of enhancing the competitiveness of the local economy and maintaining a
strong and diverse revenue and job base, (2) providing much needed additional hotel rooms to
visitors to the City and its preeminent biotechnology center at Oyster Point, (3) generating
construction-related benefits, including employment, economic and fiscal benefits related to new
construction, (4) generating fiscal benefits to the City and San Mateo County due to taxes and
other revenue, (5) improving access for residents and visitors to the San Francisco Bay, the City’s
marina, and to the San Francisco Bay Trail, and (6) redevelopment and implementation of
monitoring protocols for the successful reuse of a former landfill site.
K. In exchange of the benefits to City described in the preceding Recital, together with
the other public benefits that will result from the Development of the Project, Developer will
receive by this Agreement assurance that it may proceed with the Project in accordance with the
“Applicable Law” (as defined in Section 1.6 of this Agreement), and therefore desires to enter into
this Agreement.
L. This agreement will eliminate uncertainty in planning and provide for the orderly
Development of the Project on the Property, facilitate progressive installation of necessary
improvements, provide for public services appropriate to the Development of the Project on the
Property, and generally serve the purposes for which development agreements under section
65864, et seq. of the California Government are intended.
M. The General Plan’s Land Use Element designates the Property as Business
Commercial. The Property is also located in the East of 101 Area Plan (and therein designated as
Commercial) and in the Oyster Point Specific Plan (“Specific Plan”) (depicted therein as a future
hotel site) and the Oyster Point Specific Plan Zoning District (Chapter 20.230 of the City of South
San Francisco Municipal Code). On March 23, 2011, after duly noticed public hearing and review
by the City of South San Francisco Planning Commission (“Planning Commission”), by
Resolution No. 46-2011, the City Council certified the Oyster Point Specific Plan and Phase 1
Project Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 20100022070) (“EIR”) in accordance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 2100 et seq. (“CEQA”) and the
CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, §§ 15000 et seq.). The EIR analyzed
the potential environmental impacts of developing a new full-service hotel with up to 350 rooms

considered each of the Project’s significant and unavoidable impacts identified in the EIR and
determined that each such impact is acceptable in light of the Project’s economic, legal, social,
technological and other benefits. The MMRP identifies all mitigation measures identified in the
EIR that are applicable to the Project and sets forth a program for monitoring or reporting on the
implementation of such mitigation measures. Also on March 23, 2011, after a duly noticed public
hearing and review by the Planning Commission, by Resolution No. 47-2011, the City Council
duly approved a General Plan Amendment for the Oyster Point Specific Plan (“General Plan
Amendment”). Also, after a duly noticed by public hearing and review by the Planning

to 350 rooms and approximately 246 parking spaces, consistent with the Specific Plan, which
Precise Plan is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit H. The entitlements described in this Recital
M and listed on Exhibit C, as well as this Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the
“Project Approvals.” The Project has been designed to fulfill the Development vision of the
Project Approvals consistent with the City’s land use policies and regulations, and to secure
Developer’s ability to achieve the Development potential of the Property at a responsible level of
growth.
N. On ___________, 2022, following a duly noticed public hearing, the Planning

with BCDC to facilitate amending the BCDC Permit to omit the requirement for the permanent
north-south connector trail, including but not limited demonstrating that the location of the trail as
depicted in the BCDC Permit is not physically feasible given the topography of the site and the
significant difference in grade elevations between the existing Bay Trail near the existing
pedestrian bridge at the southern shoreline of the peninsula and the Property, and instead providing
alternative on-site public access enhancements desired by BCDC as a condition of amending the
BCDC Permit.

approvals as may be required by other governmental or quasi-governmental entities in connection
with the Development of, or the provision of services to, the Project. City, at Developer’s expense,
shall cooperate with Developer in its efforts to obtain such permits and approvals and shall, from
time to time, at the request of Developer, use its reasonable efforts to assist Developer to ensure
the timely availability of such permits and approvals.
5.6 Assessment Districts or Other Funding Mechanisms.
(a) Existing Fees. As set forth in Section 3.2, above, the Parties understand and
agree that as of the Effective Date the fees, exactions, and payments listed in Exhibit D are the
only City fees and exactions that apply to the Project, subject to the credits and exemptions that
may be set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement or identified on Exhibit D and subject to Section
5.6(b) below. Except for those fees and exactions listed in Exhibit D, City is unaware of any
pending efforts to initiate, or consider applications for new or increased fees, exactions, or
assessments covering the Property, or any portion thereof that would apply to the Project prior to
the Effective Date.
(b) Application of Fees Imposed by Outside Agencies. The City agrees to
exempt Developer from any and all fees, including but not limited to, development impact fees,
which other public agencies request the City to impose at City’s discretion on the Project or
Property after the Effective Date through the expiration of the Term. Notwithstanding the previous
sentence, in the event that another public agency requests that the City impose a fee, including a
development impact fee on all new development and land use projects on a citywide (or East of
101 Area Plan-wide) basis, then any such fee duly adopted by the City shall apply to the Project.
This Section 5.6(b) shall not prohibit the City from imposing on Developer any fee or obligation
that is imposed by a regional agency in accordance with state or federal obligations implemented
by the City in cooperation with such regional agency, or that is imposed by the State of California.
ARTICLE 6
STANDARDS, LAWS AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING THE PROJECT
6.1 Vested Right to Develop. Developer shall have a vested right to Develop the
Project on the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Project
Approvals, the Subsequent Approvals (as and when they are issued), and Applicable Law,
provided, however, that this Agreement shall not supersede, diminish, or impinge upon vested
rights secured pursuant to other Applicable Laws, including without limitation, vested rights
secured in connection with a vesting tentative subdivision map pursuant to the California
Subdivision Map Act (Gov’t. Code §§ 66410 et seq.). Nothing in this section shall be deemed to
eliminate or diminish the requirement of Developer to obtain any required Subsequent Approvals,
or to eliminate or diminish Developer’s right to have its applications for any Subsequent Approval
timely processed by City in accordance with this Agreement and Applicable Law.
6.2 Permitted Uses Vested by This Agreement. The vested permitted uses of the
Property; the vested density and intensity of use of the Property; the vested maximum height, bulk,
and size of proposed buildings; vested provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public
purposes and the location of public improvements; the general location of public utilities; and other

Those additional terms do not impact nature of development.
018708.0001 4885-1412-4080.3 #82388640_v1 22
vested terms and conditions of Development applicable to the Project, shall be as set forth in the
vested Project Approvals and, as and when they are issued (but not in limitation of any right to
Development as set forth in the Project Approvals) the vested Subsequent Approvals. The vested
permitted uses for the Project shall include those uses listed as “permitted” in the Project
Approvals, as they may be amended from time to time in accordance with this Agreement.
6.3 [Intentionally Omitted]
6.4 Adoption of Reach Code. -TERMS UNDER THIS SECTION 6.4 STILL
UNDER NEGOTIATION- City acknowledges and understands that Developer is planning for and
relying upon the ability of restaurants within the Project to be permitted to utilize natural gas for
all food cooking and preparation functions. Developer is further relying on its ability to utilize
natural gas for commercial laundry facilities within the hotel and for the hotel boiler system and
spa heating system. Any amendments to SSFMC Title 15 or to any other provision of the City’s
Code, adopted after the Effective Date of this Agreement, that would preclude Developer’s use of
natural gas for the hotel operations in the manner described in this Section 6.4 shall not apply to
the Project.
6.5 Uniform Codes. Subject to Section 6.4, City may apply to the Property, at any time
during the Term, then current Uniform Building Code and other uniform construction codes, and
City’s then current design and construction standards for road and storm drain facilities, provided
any such uniform code or standard has been adopted and uniformly applied by City on a citywide
basis and provided that no such code or standard is adopted for the purpose of preventing or
otherwise limiting Development of all or any part of the Project.
6.6 No Conflicting Enactments. Developer’s vested right to Develop the Project shall
not be diminished by City approval (whether by action of the City Council or by initiative,
referendum or other means) of any ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, standard, directive,
condition or other measure (each individually, a “City Law”) that is in conflict with Applicable
Law or this Agreement or that reduces the rights or assurances provided by this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any City Law shall be deemed to conflict with
Applicable Law or this Agreement or reduce the Development rights provided hereby if it would
accomplish any of the following results, either by specific reference to the Project or as part of a
general enactment which applies to or affects the Project:
(a) Change any land use designation or permitted use of the Property;
(b) Limit or control the availability of public utilities, services, or facilities, or
any privileges or rights to public utilities, services, or facilities (for example, water rights, water
connections or sewage capacity rights, sewer connections, etc.) for the Project, provided that
Developer has complied with all applicable requirements for receiving or using or receiving public
utilities, services, or facilities;
(c) Limit or control the location of buildings, structures, grading, or other
improvements of the Project in a manner that is inconsistent with or more restrictive than the
532

limitations included in the Project Approvals or the Subsequent Approvals (as and when they are
issued);
(d) Limit or control the rate, timing, phasing, or sequencing of the Development
of all or any part of the Project in any manner;
(e) Result in Developer having to substantially delay Development of the
Project or require the issuance of additional permits or approvals by the City other than those
required by Applicable Law;
(f) Establish, enact, increase, or impose against the Project or Property any
fees, taxes (including without limitation general, special and excise taxes but excluding any
increased local (city or county) sales tax or increases city business license tax), assessments, liens
or other monetary obligations (including generating demolition permit fees, encroachment permit
and grading permit fees) other than those specifically permitted by this Agreement or other
connection fees imposed by third party utilities;
(g) Impose against the Project any condition, dedication or other exaction not
specifically authorized by Applicable Law; or
(h) Limit the processing or procuring of applications and approvals of
Subsequent Approvals.
6.7 Initiatives and Referenda; Other City Actions Related to Project.
(a) If any City Law is enacted or imposed by initiative or referendum, or by the
City Council directly or indirectly in connection with any proposed initiative or referendum, which
City Law would conflict with Applicable Law or this Agreement or reduce the Development rights
provided by this Agreement, such Law shall only apply to the Project to the extent it would not
diminish Developer’s vested rights to Develop the Project.
(b) Except as authorized in Section 6.10, without limiting the generality of any
of the foregoing, no moratorium or other limitation (whether relating to the rate, timing, phasing
or sequencing of Development) affecting subdivision maps, building permits or other entitlements
to use that are approved or to be approved, issued or granted within the City, or portions of the
City, shall diminish Developer’s vested rights to Develop the Project.
(c) To the maximum extent permitted by law, City shall cooperate with
Developer and shall undertake such actions as may be necessary to ensure this Agreement remains
in full force and effect.
(d) Developer reserves the right to challenge in court any City Law that would
reduce the Development rights provided by this Agreement.
6.8 Environmental Mitigation. The Parties understand that the EIR and MMRP were
intended to be used in connection with each of the Project Approvals and Subsequent Approvals
needed for the Project. Consistent with the CEQA policies and requirements applicable to the EIR,
533
11/3/2022 DRAFT – TERMS STILL UNDER NEGOTIATION
This draft does not include language related to some additional terms still under negotiation.
Those additional terms do not impact nature of development.
018708.0001 4885-1412-4080.3 #82388640_v1 24
City agrees to use the EIR and MMRP in connection with the processing of any Subsequent
Approval to the maximum extent allowed by law and not to impose on the Project any mitigation
measures other than those specifically imposed by the Project Approvals, EIR, and MMRP, or
specifically required by CEQA or other Applicable Law, except as provided for in this Section 6.8.
The Parties agree that this Agreement shall not limit or expand the operation or scope of CEQA,
including Public Resources Code section 21166 and California Code of Regulations, title 14,
section 15162, with respect to City’s consideration of any Subsequent Approval. Consistent with
CEQA, a future, additional CEQA document may be prepared for any Subsequent Approval only
to the extent required by Public Resources Code section 21166 and California Code of Regulations,
title 14, section 15162, unless otherwise requested in writing by Developer. Developer specifically
acknowledges and agrees that, under Public Resources Code section 21166 and California Code
of Regulations, title 14, section 15162, City as lead agency is responsible and retains sole discretion
to determine whether an additional CEQA document must be prepared, which discretion City
agrees it shall not exercise unreasonably or delay.
6.9 Future Legislative Actions.
(a) In the event that, following the Effective Date, City revises, modifies,
updates, or amends the land use designation(s) of the General Plan in effect on the Effective Date,
the Specific Plan in effect on the Effective Date, or of the East of 101 Area Plan in effect on the
Effective Date, that are applicable to the Property, or the zoning designation(s) applicable to the
Property and in effect on the Effective Date, such updates or amendments shall not diminish
Developer’s vested rights to Develop the Project or the Property, but no provision of this
Agreement shall limit Developer’s right to apply for any land use entitlement(s) for the Property
that are consistent with, or authorized by, such update(s) or amendment(s). Developer
acknowledges, however, that the amended or updated policies identified in the immediately
preceding sentence might include requirements for permitted development that would be in
addition to any obligations of Developer under this Agreement, and that those additional
requirements would apply to Developer if Developer applies for any land use entitlement(s) for
the Property that are consistent with, or authorized by, any revision, modification, update, or
amendment contemplated by this subsection (a) of Section 6.9 of this Agreement. No provision of
this Agreement shall limit or restrain in any way Developer’s full participation in any and all public
processes undertaken by the City that are in any way related to revisions, modifications,
amendments, or updates to the General Plan, the Specific Plan, the East of 101 Area Plan, or the
City of South San Francisco Municipal Code.
(b) Developer acknowledges that, if it applies for any land use entitlement(s)
for the Property that are consistent with, or authorized by, any revision, modification, update, or
amendment contemplated by subsection (a) of this Section 6.9 of this Agreement, and that would
allow development of the subject parcel(s) in a manner that is inconsistent with, or not authorized
by, the Project Approvals, then City may be required to conduct additional CEQA review with
respect to such application in accordance with Section 6.8 of this Agreement, and, if such
application is finally approved by the City and becomes effective, such approval shall
automatically be vested under this Agreement only to the extent such approval is consistent with,
or authorized by, the Project Approvals. By way of example, if (following any required CEQA

Those additional terms do not impact nature of development.
018708.0001 4885-1412-4080.3 #82388640_v1 25
compliance) such effective approval were to authorize Development of a structure with a floor
area ratio of 2.0, but the Project Approvals would only authorize Development of a structure with
a floor area ratio of 1.0, then Developer would automatically have the vested right to Develop said
structure with a floor area ratio of 1.0, and would automatically have the non-vested right to
Develop that same structure with a floor area ratio of 2.0 (unless, following such approval, this
Agreement is amended to vest Developer’s right to Develop such structure with a floor area ratio
of 2.0).
(c) City agrees that, if Developer applies for any land use entitlement(s) for the
Property that are inconsistent with, or not authorized by, the Project Approvals, then:
(i) such event shall not be a basis for amending or revisiting the terms
of the Agreement, unless Developer also applies for an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to
subsection (b) of Section 7.2 of this Agreement (i.e., a non-Administrative Agreement
Amendment), and shall not be a basis for imposing new exactions, mitigation requirements,
conditions of approval, or any other requirement of, or precondition to, Developer’s exercise of its
Development rights vested under this Agreement; and
(ii) the only exactions, mitigation requirements, or conditions of
approval City may impose on such land use entitlement shall be limited to those exactions,
mitigation requirements, or conditions of approval authorized under federal, state, or local laws in
effect at the time such application is deemed complete, and shall only be imposed with respect to
those uses, densities, intensities, and other Development standards applicable to the subject
parcel(s) that are inconsistent with, or not authorized by, the Project Approvals.
6.10 Life of Development Approvals, and Permits. The term of any permit or other
land use entitlement approved as a Project Approval or Subsequent Approval shall automatically
be extended for the longer of the Term (including any extensions) or the term otherwise applicable
to such Project Approval or Subsequent Approval if this Agreement is no longer in effect. The
Term of this Agreement and the term of Project Approval or Subsequent Approval shall not include
any period of time during which a Development moratorium (including, but not limited to, a water
or sewer moratorium or water and sewer moratorium) or the actions of other public agencies that
regulate land use, Development or the provision of services to the land, prevents, prohibits or
delays the construction of the Project or a lawsuit involving any such Development approvals or
permits is pending.
6.11 State and Federal Law. As provided in Government Code section 65869.5, this
Agreement shall not preclude the application to the Project of changes in laws, regulations, plans
or policies, to the extent that such changes are specifically mandated and required by changes in
state or federal laws or regulations. Not in limitation of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement
shall preclude City from imposing on Developer any fee specifically mandated and required by
state or federal laws and regulations. In the event of any changes required by state or federal laws
or regulations, the Developer and City shall meet and confer in good faith to determine what, if
any, modifications to this Agreement and/or the Project Approvals would allow the Project and
City to comply with such state or federal law or regulation while preserving to the maximum extent
feasible the spirit and intent of the Parties in this Agreement and the Project Approvals.

018708.0001 4885-1412-4080.3 #82388640_v1 26
6.12 Prevailing Wage. Developer and its contractors and agents shall comply with
California Labor Code section 1720 et seq., and regulations adopted pursuant thereto, to the extent
applicable to the Project (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), and shall be responsible for carrying out the
applicable requirements of such law and regulations. Developer shall submit to City a plan for
monitoring payment of prevailing wages and shall implement such plan at Developer’s expense.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Developer shall indemnify, defend
(with counsel approved by City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and hold the
City, and its elected and appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, consultants, and
contractors (for purposes of this Section 6.12 collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and
against all liability, loss, cost, expense (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs of
litigation), claim, demand, action, suit, judicial or administrative proceeding, penalty, deficiency,
fine, order, and damage (for purposes of this Section 6.12, all of the foregoing collectively
“Claims”) which directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, are caused by, arise in connection with,
result from, relate to, or are alleged to be caused by, arise in connection with, or relate to, the
payment or requirement of payment of prevailing wages in connection with this Agreement
(including without limitation, all claims that may be made by contractors, subcontractors or other
third party claimants pursuant to Labor Code sections 1726 and 1781), the failure to comply with
any state or federal labor laws, regulations or standards in connection with this Agreement,
including but not limited to the Prevailing Wage Laws, or any act or omission of Developer related
to this Agreement with respect to the payment or requirement of payment of prevailing wages,
whether or not any insurance policies shall have been determined to be applicable to any such
Claims. It is further agreed that the City does not and shall not waive any rights against Developer
which it may have by reason of this indemnity and hold harmless agreement because of the
acceptance by the City, or Developer’s deposit with the City, of any of the insurance policies
described in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6.12 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement and the issuance of a Certificate of Completion for the
Project. Developer’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 6.12 shall not apply to
Claims arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees.
6.13 Timing and Review of Project Construction and Completion. Except as
expressly provided in the Project Approvals and this Agreement, Developer shall have the vested
right to Develop the Project in such order, at such rate and at such times as the Developer deems
appropriate in the exercise of its sole business judgment. In particular, and not in any limitation of
any of the foregoing, since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City
of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties therein to consider, and expressly
provide for, the timing of Development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the timing
of Development to prevail over such Parties' agreement, it is the desire of the Parties hereto to
avoid that result.

ARTICLE 7
AMENDMENT
7.1 Project Amendments. To the extent permitted by state and federal law, any Project
Approval or Subsequent Approval may, from time to time, be amended or modified in the
following manner:
(a) Administrative Project Amendments. Upon the written request of
Developer for an amendment or modification to a Project Approval or Subsequent Approval, the
City's Chief Planner or his/her designee shall determine: (i) whether the requested amendment or
modification is minor when considered in light of the Project as a whole; and (ii) whether the
requested amendment or modification is consistent with this Agreement and Applicable Law. If
the Chief Planner or his/her designee finds that the proposed amendment or modification is minor,
consistent with this Agreement and Applicable Law, and will result in no new significant impacts
not addressed and mitigated in the EIR, the amendment shall be determined to be an
“Administrative Project Amendment” and the Chief Planner or his/her designee may, except to
the extent otherwise required by law, approve the Administrative Project Amendment without
notice and public hearing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, lot line adjustments,
minor alterations in vehicle circulation patterns or vehicle access points, location of parking stalls
on the site, number of required parking stalls if City development standards allow, substitutions of
comparable landscaping for any landscaping shown on any final development plan or landscape
plan, substitutions of comparable building design/façade materials for any building design/façade
material shown on any final development plan or Precise Plan, variations in the location of
structures that do not substantially alter the design concepts of the Project, location or installation
of utilities and other infrastructure connections or facilities that do not substantially alter the design
concepts of the Project, and minor adjustments to the Property diagram or Property legal
description shall be treated as Administrative Project Amendments. Any requested amendment
seeking modification of or deviation from the performance or development standards contained in
the Municipal Code and which would otherwise require a discretionary approval by the City
Council, Planning Commission, or other formal approval body shall not be treated as an
Administrative Project Amendment.
(b) Non-Administrative Project Amendments. Any request by Developer for an
amendment or modification to a Project Approval or Subsequent Approval which is determined
not to be an Administrative Project Amendment as set forth above shall be subject to review,
consideration and action pursuant to the Applicable Law and this Agreement.
7.2 Amendment of this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended from time to
time, in whole or in part, by mutual written consent of the Parties hereto or their successors in
interest, as follows:
(a) Administrative Agreement Amendments. Any amendment to this
Agreement which does not substantially affect (i) the Term, (ii) permitted uses of the Property,
(iii) conditions, terms, restrictions, or requirements for subsequent discretionary actions, (iv) the
density or intensity of use of the Property or the maximum height or size of proposed buildings,
or (v) monetary contributions by Developer, shall be considered an “Administrative Agreement

Amendment” and shall not, except to the extent otherwise required by law, require notice or public
hearing before the parties may execute an amendment hereto. Administrative Agreement
Amendments may be approved by the City Manager or, in the sole discretion of the City Manager,
the City Manager may refer any proposed Administrative Agreement Amendment to the City
Council for consideration and approval or denial.
(b) Other Agreement Amendments. Any amendment to this Agreement other
than an Administrative Agreement Amendment shall be subject to recommendation by the
Planning Commission (by advisory resolution) and approval by the City Council (by ordinance)
following a duly noticed public hearing before the Planning Commission and City Council,
consistent with Government Code sections 65867 and 65867.5.
(c) Amendment Exemptions. No amendment of a Project Approval or
Subsequent Approval, or a Subsequent Approval shall require an amendment to this Agreement.
Instead, any such matter automatically shall be deemed to be incorporated into the Project and
vested under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 8
ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER AND NOTICE
8.1 Assignment. -TERMS UNDER THIS SECTION 8.1 STILL UNDER
NEGOTIATION-
(a) Absent an express signed written agreement between the Parties to the
contrary, neither Developer nor City may assign its rights or delegate its duties under this
Agreement without the express written consent of the other Party. No permitted assignment of any
of the rights or obligations under this Agreement shall result in a novation or in any other way
release the assignor from its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision
hereof, Developer may assign this Agreement without the consent of City to one or more entities
controlled by, or under common control with, or owned in whole or in part by Developer (an
“Affiliate”), provided, Developer shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement.
As used in this Section 8.1, “controlled” shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the
power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies, whether through the ownership
of voting securities, partnership interest, contracts (other than those that purport to transfer
Developer’s interest to a third party not specifically identified in this subsection) or otherwise.
8.2 Transfer Agreements. -TERMS UNDER THIS SECTION 8.2 STILL UNDER
NEGOTIATION-
(a) In connection with the Transfer or assignment by Developer of all or any
portion of the Project (other than a transfer or assignment by Developer to an Affiliate), Developer
and the transferee shall enter into a written agreement regarding the respective interests, rights,
and obligations of Developer and the transferee in and under the Agreement and the Project
Approvals (a “Transfer Agreement”). Such Transfer Agreement shall include an executed
Assignment and Assumption of Rights and Obligations, as set forth in Exhibit I, and may (i) release
Developer from obligations under the Agreement or the Project Approvals that pertain to that
538

018708.0001 4885-1412-4080.3 #82388640_v1 29
portion of the Project being transferred, as described in the Transfer Agreement, provided that the
transferee expressly assumes such obligations; (ii) transfer to the transferee vested rights to
improve that portion of the Project being transferred; and (iii) address any other matter deemed by
Developer to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the transfer or assignment.
(b) Prior to any such Transfer or assignment, Developer will seek City’s prior
written consent thereof, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At the time
Developer requests City’s written consent, Developer shall submit to the City information
describing transferee’s development experience and financial resources. City may refuse to give
consent only if, in light of the proposed transferee’s reputation and financial resources, such
transferee would not, in City’s reasonable opinion, be able to perform the obligations proposed to
be assumed by such transferee, including Buyer’s Post-Closing Mitigation Measures (contained in
Exhibit F to Exhibit B of this Agreement). To assist the City Manager in determining whether to
provide consent to a transfer or assignment, the City Manager may request from the transferee
(directly or through Developer) additional reasonable documentation of transferee’s understanding
of and ability and plan to perform the obligations proposed to be assumed by transferee, including
without limitation obligations specifically identified in this Agreement, the Order No. 00-46 issued
by the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board to the City on June 21, 2000, the Final
Closure Plan and Postclosure Maintenance and Monitoring Plan each dated September 8, 2017,
Buyer’s Post-Closing Mitigation Measures (contained in Exhibit F to Exhibit B of this
Agreement), Project Approvals, the EIR and MMRP, the General Plan, the TDM Plan, the Specific
Plan, and the East of 101 Area Plan. To assist the City Manager in determining whether to consent
to a transfer or assignment, the City Manager may also require one or more representatives of the
transferee to meet in person to demonstrate to the City Manager’s reasonable satisfaction that the
transferee understands and intends and has the ability to perform the obligations intended to be
assumed, including without limitation the obligations identified in the immediately preceding
sentence. City shall have sixty(60) days to request any of the information and meetings identified
above, as well as request any additional information required in order to review any request for
consent to a Transfer, and shall provide a determination as to whether to provide its consent within
ninety (90) days of the date the request is received. Such determination will be made by the City
Manager and will be appealable by Developer to the City Council. For any Transfer of all of the
Property, the Developer and assignee shall enter into an assignment and assumption agreement in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, each of following Transfers are permitted and shall not require City consent under
this Section 8.2:
(i) Any Transfer for financing purposes to secure the funds necessary
for construction and/or permanent financing of the Project, including any financing transactions,
such as sale-leaseback or grant of a mortgage or deed of trust, for purposes of financing
development of the Project; or any foreclosure thereof or deed-in-lieu with respect thereto;
(ii) An assignment of this Agreement to an Affiliate;
(iii) Dedications and grants of easements and rights of way required in
accordance with the Project Approvals;

018708.0001 4885-1412-4080.3 #82388640_v1 30
(iv) any change, directly or indirectly, of the equity or ownership
interests of Developer or any transferee which individually or cumulatively with prior changes
does not result in a change in control of Developer or transferee; or
(v) Any leases, subleases, licenses, easements, or other occupancy
agreements.
(c) Any Transfer Agreement shall be binding on Developer, City, and the
transferee. Once approved by the Developer, the transferee, and City, and then upon recordation
of any Transfer Agreement in the Official Records of San Mateo County, Developer shall
automatically be released from those obligations assumed by the transferee therein.
(d) Developer shall be free from any and all liabilities accruing on or after the
date of any assignment or transfer with respect to those obligations assumed by a transferee
pursuant to a Transfer Agreement. No breach or default hereunder occurring after the assignment
or Transfer by any person succeeding to any portion of Developer’s obligations under this
Agreement shall be attributed to Developer.
8.3 Notice of Compliance Generally. Within thirty (30) days following any written
request which Developer may make from time to time, City shall execute and deliver to Developer
(or to any party requested by Developer) a written “Notice of Compliance,” in recordable form,
duly executed and acknowledged by City, that certifies:
(a) This Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have
been modifications hereto, that this Agreement is in full force and effect as modified and stating
the date and nature of such modifications;
(b) There are no current uncured defaults under this Agreement or specifying
the dates and nature of any such default; and
(c) Any other information reasonably requested by Developer.
The failure to deliver such a statement within such time shall constitute a conclusive
presumption against City that this Agreement is in full force and effect without modification except
as may be represented by the Developer and that there are no uncured defaults in the performance
of the Developer, except as may be represented by the Developer. Developer shall have the right
at Developer’s sole discretion, to record the Notice of Compliance.
ARTICLE 9
COOPERATION IN THE EVENT OF LEGAL CHALLENGE
9.1 Cooperation. In the event of any administrative, legal, or equitable action or other
proceeding instituted by any person not a party to the Agreement challenging the validity of any
provision of the Agreement, or any Project Approval or Subsequent Approval, the Parties will

legal action against City or if City fails to cooperate in the defense, Developer will not thereafter
be responsible for City’s defense. The Parties will use best efforts to select mutually agreeable
legal counsel to defend such action, and Developer will pay compensation for such legal counsel
(including City Attorney time and overhead for the defense of such action), but will exclude other
City staff overhead costs and normal day-to-day business expenses incurred by City. Developer’s

proceeding, each party may select its own legal counsel and Developer will pay its and the City’s
attorneys’ fees and costs. Developer shall reimburse the City for all reasonable court costs and
attorneys’ fees expended by the City in defense of any such action or other proceeding or payable
to any prevailing plaintiff/petitioner.

proceeding, all or any portion of the Agreement or the Project approvals are set aside or otherwise
made ineffective by any judgment in such action or proceeding (“Judgment”), based on
procedural, substantive or other deficiencies (“Deficiencies”), the Parties will use their respective
best efforts to sustain and reenact or readopt the Agreement, and/or the Project approvals, that the
Deficiencies related to, as follows, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to act otherwise:
(i) If any Judgment requires reconsideration or consideration by City
of the Agreement or any Project approval, then the City will consider or reconsider that matter in
a manner consistent with the intent of the Agreement and with Applicable Law. If any such
Judgment invalidates or otherwise makes ineffective all or any portion of the Agreement or Project
approval, then the Parties will cooperate and will cure any Deficiencies identified in the Judgment
or upon which the Judgment is based in a manner consistent with the intent of the Agreement and
with Applicable Law. City will then consider readopting or reenacting the Agreement, or the
Project approval, or any portion thereof, to which the Deficiencies related.
(ii) Acting in a manner consistent with the intent of the Agreement
includes, but is not limited to, recognizing that the Parties intend that Developer may undertake

ordinances, resolutions, and other enactments as are necessary to readopt or reenact all or any
portion of the Agreement or Project approvals without contravening the Judgment.
(b) The Parties agree that this Section 9.2 shall constitute a separate agreement
entered into concurrently, and that if any other provision of this Agreement, or the Agreement as
a whole, is invalidated, rendered null, or set aside by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Parties
agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 9.2, which shall survive invalidation, nullification,

ARTICLE 10
DEFAULT; REMEDIES; TERMINATION
10.1 Defaults. Any failure by either Party to perform any term or provision of the
Agreement, which failure continues uncured for a period of thirty (30) days following written
notice of such failure from the other Party (unless such period is extended by mutual written
consent), will constitute a default under the Agreement. Any notice given will specify the nature
of the alleged failure and, where appropriate, the manner in which said failure satisfactorily may
be cured. If the nature of the alleged failure is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such
30-day period, then the commencement of the cure within such time period, and the diligent
prosecution to completion of the cure thereafter, will be deemed to be a cure within such 30-day
period. Upon the occurrence of a default under the Agreement, the non-defaulting party may
institute legal proceedings to enforce the terms of the Agreement or, in the event of a material
default, terminate the Agreement. If the default is cured, then no default will exist and the noticing
party shall take no further action.
10.2 Termination. If City elects to consider terminating the Agreement due to a material
default of Developer, then City will give a notice of intent to terminate the Agreement and the
matter will be scheduled for consideration and review by the City Council at a duly noticed and
conducted public hearing. Developer will have the right to offer written and oral evidence prior to
or at the time of said public hearings. If the City Council determines that a material default has
occurred and is continuing, and elects to terminate the Agreement, City will give written notice of
termination of the Agreement to Developer by certified mail and the Agreement will thereby be
terminated sixty (60) days thereafter.
10.3 Enforced Delay; Extension of Time of Performance. Subject to the limitations
set forth below, performance by either party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in default, and
all performance and other dates specified in this Agreement shall be extended, where delays are
due to: war; insurrection; strikes and labor disputes; lockouts; riots; floods; earthquakes; fires;
casualties; acts of God; acts of the public enemy; terrorism; epidemics; pandemics; quarantine
restrictions; governmental restrictions or priority; litigation and arbitration, including court delays;
legal challenges to this Agreement, the Project Approvals, Subsequent Approvals, or any other
approval required for the Project or any initiatives or referenda regarding the same; environmental
conditions that have not been previously disclosed or discovered or that could not have been
discovered with reasonable diligence that delays the construction or Development of the Property
or any portion thereof; unusually severe weather but only to the extent that such weather or its
effects (including, without limitation, dry out time) result in delays that cumulatively exceed thirty
(30) days for every winter season occurring after commencement of construction of the Project;
acts or omissions of the other party; or acts or failures to act of any public or governmental agency
or entity (except that acts or failures to act of City shall not excuse performance by City);
moratorium; or a Severe Economic Recession (each a “Force Majeure Delay”). An extension of
time for any such cause shall be for the period of the enforced delay and shall commence to run
from the time of the commencement of the cause, if Notice by the party claiming such extension
is sent to the other party within sixty (60) days of the commencement of the cause. If Notice is
sent after such sixty (60) day period, then the extension shall commence to run no sooner than

sixty (60) days prior to the giving of such Notice. Times of performance under this Agreement
may also be extended in writing by the mutual agreement of City and Developer. Developer’s
inability or failure to obtain financing or otherwise timely satisfy shall not be deemed to be a cause
outside the reasonable control of the Developer and shall not be the basis for an excused delay,
unless such inability, failure or delay is a direct result of a Force Majeure Delay or a Severe
Economic Recession. “Severe Economic Recession” means a decline in the monetary value of all
finished goods and services produced in the United States, as measured by initial quarterly
estimates of United States Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) published by the United States
Department of Commerce Bureau of Economic Analysis (and not subsequent monthly revisions),
lasting more than four (4) consecutive calendar quarters. Any quarter of flat or positive GDP
growth shall end the period of such Severe Economic Recession.
10.4 Legal Action. -TERMS UNDER THIS SECTION 10.4 STILL UNDER
NEGOTIATION-
(a) Either Party may institute legal action to cure, correct, or remedy any
default, enforce any covenant or agreement in the Agreement, enjoin any threatened or attempted
violation thereof, and enforce by specific performance or declaratory relief the obligations and
rights of the Parties thereto. Except as provided in Section 10.1 and Section 10.4(b) below, the
sole and exclusive remedies for any default or violation of the Agreement will be specific
performance or declaratory relief. In any proceeding brought to enforce the Agreement, the
prevailing Party will be entitled to recover from the unsuccessful Party all costs, expenses and
reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the prevailing party in the enforcement proceeding.
(b) In the event that, following Close of Escrow (as defined in the PSA) for the
Property, this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.2, and such termination occurs prior
to commencement of construction for the Project, then the City shall have the right to reenter and
take possession of the Property, and to revest in the City the estate of the Developer in the Property
or portion thereof. Upon revesting in the City of title to the Property, or portion thereof, the City
shall promptly use its best efforts to resell it. For purposes of this subsection, “commencement of
construction” means [INSERT DEFINITION] Upon any sale or contract for development, the
proceeds shall be applied as follows:
(i) First, to reimburse the City for any reasonable costs it incurs in
revesting the estate managing or selling the Property or portion thereof, including but not limited
to amounts to discharge or prevent liens or encumbrances arising from any acts or omissions of
the Developer;
(ii) Second, to reimburse the City for damages to which it is entitled
under this Agreement by reason of the Developer's default;
(iii) Third, to the Developer up to the sum of the amount of the purchase
price paid to the City by the Developer pursuant to the PSA for the Property which has reverted to
the City and the reasonable cost (incurred after close of escrow) of the improvements the
Developer has placed on the Property and such other reasonable costs Developer has incurred after

close of escrow directly in connection with development of the Project which has reverted to the
City (for purposes of this subsection “reasonable costs” means [INSERT]); and
(iv) Fourth, any balance to the City.
10.5 Periodic Review.
(a) Conducting the Periodic Review. Throughout the Term, at least once every
twelve (12) months following the Effective Date of this Agreement, City shall review the extent
of good-faith compliance by Developer with the terms of this Agreement. This review (“Periodic
Review”) shall be conducted by the Chief Planner or his/her designee and shall be limited in scope
to compliance with the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Government Code section 65865.1.
At least ten (10) days prior to the Periodic Review, and in the manner prescribed in Section 11.9
of this Agreement, City shall deposit in the mail or transmit electronically to Developer a copy of
any staff report and documents to be relied upon in conducting the Periodic Review and, to the
extent practical, related exhibits concerning Developer’s performance hereunder.
(b) Developer Submission of Periodic Review Report. Annually commencing
one year from the Effective Date and continuing through termination of this Agreement, Developer
shall submit a report to the Chief Planner stating the Developer’s good faith compliance with terms
of the Agreement.
(c) Good Faith Compliance Review. During the Periodic Review, the Chief
Planner shall set a meeting to consider the Developer’s good-faith compliance with the terms of
this Agreement. Developer shall be permitted an opportunity to respond to City’s evaluation of
Developer’s performance, either orally at the meeting or in a supplemental written statement, at
Developer’s election. Such response shall be made to the Chief Planner. At the conclusion of the
Periodic Review, the Chief Planner shall make written findings and determinations, on the basis
of substantial evidence, as to whether or not Developer has complied in good faith with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. The decision of the Chief Planner shall be appealable to the City
Council. If the Chief Planner finds and determines that Developer has not complied with such
terms and conditions, the Chief Planner may recommend to the City Council that it terminate or
modify this Agreement by giving notice of its intention to do so, in the manner set forth in
Government Code sections 65867 and 65868. The costs incurred by City in connection with the
Periodic Review process described herein shall be borne by Developer.
(d) Failure to Properly Conduct Periodic Review. If City fails, during any
calendar year, to either: (i) conduct the Periodic Review or (ii) notify Developer in writing of
City’s determination, pursuant to a Periodic Review, as to Developer’s compliance with the terms
of this Agreement and such failure remains uncured as of December 31 of any year during the
Term, such failure shall be conclusively deemed an approval by City of Developer’s compliance
with the terms of this Agreement for the period of time since the last Periodic Review.
10.6 California Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the State of California. Any action to enforce or interpret this Agreement shall be
filed and heard in the Superior Court of San Mateo County, California.

10.7 Resolution of Disputes. With regard to any dispute involving Development of the
Project, the resolution of which is not provided for by this Agreement or Applicable Law,
Developer shall, at City’s request, meet with City. The parties to any such meetings shall attempt
in good faith to resolve any such disputes. Nothing in this Section 10.7 shall in any way be
interpreted as requiring that Developer and City and/or City’s designee reach agreement with
regard to those matters being addressed, nor shall the outcome of these meetings be binding in any
way on City or Developer unless expressly agreed to by the parties to such meetings.
10.8 Attorneys’ Fees. In any legal action or other proceeding brought by either Party to
enforce or interpret a provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable
attorneys’ fees and any other costs incurred in that proceeding in addition to any other relief to
which it is entitled.

agents, employees, and representatives harmless from claims, costs, and liabilities for any personal
injury, death, or property damage which is a result of, or alleged to be the result of, the construction
of the Project, or of operations performed under this Agreement by Developer or by Developer’s
contractors, subcontractors, agents or employees, whether such operations were performed by
Developer or any of Developer’s contractors, subcontractors, agents or employees. Nothing in this
Section 10.9 shall be construed to mean that Developer shall hold City harmless from any claims
of personal injury, death or property damage arising from, or alleged to arise from, any gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of City, its elected and appointed representatives,
offices, agents and employees.

11.10 Mortgagee Protection. -TERMS UNDER THIS SECTION 11.10 STILL
UNDER NEGOTIATION- The Parties agree that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit
Developer, in any manner, at Developer’s sole discretion, from encumbering the Property or any
portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any Mortgage. City acknowledges that the lenders
providing such financing may require certain Agreement interpretations and modifications and
agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet with Developer and representatives of such lenders
to negotiate in good faith any such request for interpretation or modification provided such
interpretation or modification is consistent with the intent and purpose of this Agreement. Any
Mortgagee of the Property shall be entitled to the following rights and privileges:
(a) Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach of this Agreement shall
defeat, render invalid, diminish, or impair the lien of any Mortgage on the Property made in good
faith and for value, unless otherwise required by law.
(b) If City timely receives a request from a Mortgagee requesting a copy of any
notice of default given to Developer under this Agreement, City shall provide a copy of that notice
to the Mortgagee within ten (10) days of sending the notice of default to Developer. Each
Mortgagee shall have the right during the same period available to Developer to cure or remedy,
or to commence to cure or remedy, the event of default claimed or the areas of noncompliance set
forth in City’s Notice of Breach, plus additional time not to exceed 90 days, as reasonably
determined by the City Manager, to allow Mortgagee sufficient time to make the election to cure
and thereafter prosecute such cure to completion. If a Mortgagee shall be required to obtain title
or possession in order to cure any default or breach, then the time to cure shall be tolled so long as
the Mortgagee is diligently attempting to obtain possession, including by appointment of a receiver
or foreclosure, and provides City upon written request from time to time reasonable evidence of
such diligent efforts; provided the tolling shall not exceed 90 days or such longer period as City
may agree in its sole discretion. A delay or failure by the City to provide such notice required by
this Section shall extend, for the number of days until notice is given, the time allowed to the
Mortgagee for cure, but shall not extend Developer’s time to cure.
(c) Any Mortgagee who comes into possession of the Property, or any portion
thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the Mortgage or deed in lieu of such foreclosure, shall take the
Property, or portion thereof, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Agreement to the contrary, no Mortgagee shall have an obligation or duty under this
Agreement to perform any of Developer’s obligations or other affirmative covenants of Developer
hereunder, or to guarantee such performance; provided, however, that to the extent that any
covenant to be performed by Developer is a condition precedent to the performance of a covenant
by City, the performance thereof shall continue to be condition precedent to City’s performance

survey monuments on the Property to monitor landfill settlement. Quarterly inspections are
required to ensure monuments are intact and usable and any repairs or replacement are
performed as necessary. Installation of at least two permanent survey monuments are
required so that the location and elevation of refuse, final cover, and landfill gas system
components can be determined throughout the post-closure period. Additionally,
monuments will be surveyed every five years and settlement maps will be produced
throughout the post-closure period or until settlement has stopped.
C. Engineering Measures - MMS/Building
1. Design, install and operate a methane mitigation and monitoring system (MMS) approved
in advance by the Water Board and City in building structures. The MMS shall meet the

horizontal collection and venting system below the VBM. The venting system vents vapors
through vertical riser piping that extends from beneath the building to above the roof level.
Mechanical blowers will be on standby for use as an active venting system in the event
elevated methane levels are detected by electronic sensors installed at various locations
within the buildings. The MMS shall also be designed to mitigate potential vapors of other
contaminants, including VOCs.
2. Design and install trench dams in utility trenches to prevent migration of methane and/or
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into buildings.
3. All building utilities, methane membrane and collection pipes should be connected/adhered
to underside of building foundation slab or installed in a manner that prevents damage from
potential future ground settlement.
4. Utilities should be designed to accommodate potential future ground settlement in areas
outside of building footprint.
5. Perform all required inspections, maintenance, monitoring and reporting in connection
with the approved MMS meeting the requirements of Title 27 CCR Sections 20931 and
21190, for structures on landfilled areas, the requirements listed in the PCMMP and other

Discussion of Planning Commission Alternative Start Times and Return to In-Person Meetings (Tony Rozzi,
Chief Planner)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission consider the information presented and discuss for
feedback. No further action required.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
This item is being presented to the Planning Commission for discussion and feedback -no further action is
required at this meeting.This has been discussed informally and this serves as an agenda item for proper
discussion with public input.
Planning Commission Meeting Start Time
Section 2.56.050 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code establishes the meeting time,location,and related
procedures for the Planning Commission.Currently,the Municipal Code provides that the Planning
Commission is required to meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month, at 7:00 P.M.
The City Council has changed its regular meeting start time to 6:00 P.M.to account for larger agendas that
would otherwise adjourn meetings late in the evening.Additionally,the new General Plan Update and
companion zoning transfers most project entitlement to the Planning Commission rather than the City Council.
This change will likely result in larger meeting agendas for the Planning Commission and later meetings.
Staff suggests that the Planning Commission discuss alternative start times and Commissioner availability and
provide feedback to staff. The logical options would be 6:00 P.M. or 6:30 P.M. if a change was desired.
Return to In-Person / Hybrid Meetings
Staff anticipates that with the wind down of the State of Emergency declaration for COVID-19 (ending
February 28,2023),the teleconference meeting rules created by AB 361 will change and there will likely be
interest in returning to in-person Planning Commission meetings soon.In many ways,the remote meetings
have been fortunate for all -less travel for applicants and their design team,and more flexibility for
Commissioners to join meetings remotely despite travel or other commitments that would typically preclude
attendance.
The City currently uses an outside consultant to help manage City Council hybrid meetings and this firm could
be utilized for Planning Commission hearings.If the City moves to in-person meetings in early 2023,this
would be an option to keep remote attendance possible for applicants,staff,and Planning Commissioners,as
needed.
CONCLUSION
The two items are related - an inevitable return to in-person meetings could make an earlier start time

challenging for Commissioners. Alternatively, the new zoning authority of the Planning Commission is likely to
result in larger and later meetings if the start time remains at 7:00 P.M.
This is intended as an update item only, but staff would appreciate discussion and any feedback from the
Planning Commission.
