Proclamation recognizing March as Irish American Heritage Month.(Mayor Flor Nicolas)
City of South San Francisco Printed on 3/17/2023Page 1 of 1
powered by Legistar™8
Dated: March 22, 2023
RECOGNITION OF MARCH AS
IRISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH
WHEREAS, in March, we celebrate Irish American Heritage Month to recognize
the Irish immigrants who sought a new beginning in the United States; and
WHEREAS, Irish-American Heritage Month was first celebrated by
proclamation of the President in 1991. It seemed natural to choose March since Saint
Patrick Day falls on March 17, for the month-long recognition of the contributions that
Irish immigrants and their descendants have made to U.S. society; and
WHEREAS, it’s important to reflect on the anti-immigrant sentiment that was
often faced by new Irish-Americans, largely a result of their Catholicism, which clashed
with the predominantly Protestant backgrounds of the majority of families whose
members had been among the original colonists; and
WHEREAS, this month we recognize not only the overcoming of those obstacles
by Irish Americans but also the incredible breadth and depth of their contributions to
American society, from the Union’s edge over the Confederacy in the Civil War to the
intellectual contributions that have kept our country on the top tiers of accomplishment;
and
WHEREAS, their pride lives on in business owners, scientists, and labor leaders
who hold dear the Irish belief that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity; and
WHEREAS, their courage runs deep in so many first responders, public servants,
and brave service members who defend our lives and liberties – the same liberties that so
many Irish immigrants and Irish Americans helped preserve and protect.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
South San Francisco does hereby proclaim March 2023 as Irish American Heritage
Month.

Proclamation recognizing April as Fair Housing Month. (Mayor Flor Nicolas)
City of South San Francisco Printed on 3/17/2023Page 1 of 1
powered by Legistar™12
Dated: March 22, 2023
RECOGNITION OF APRIL AS
FAIR HOUSING MONTH
WHEREAS, The Fair Housing Act, enacted on April 11, 1968, enshrined
into federal law the goal of eliminating racial segregation and ending housing
discrimination in the United States; and
WHEREAS, The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing
based on race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, and disability,
and commits recipients of federal funding to affirmatively further fair housing in
communities; and
WHEREAS, the City of South San Francisco is committed to the mission
and intent of Congress to provide fair and equal housing opportunities for all; and
WHEREAS, our social fabric, the economy, health, and environment are
strengthened in diverse, inclusive communities; and
WHEREAS, more than 50 years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act,
discrimination persists, and many communities remain segregated; and
WHEREAS, acts of housing discrimination and barriers to equal housing
opportunity are offensive to a common sense of decency and fairness.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of South San Francisco does hereby proclaim April 2023 as Fair Housing
Month in South San Francisco as an inclusive community committed to fair
housing, and to promoting appropriate activities by private and public entities to
provide and advocate for equal housing opportunities for all residents and
prospective residents.

Motion to accept the 2022 Housing Element and General Plan Annual Progress Report and authorize its
transmittal to the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (ORP)and the California Department
of Housing and Community Development (HCD).(Tony Rozzi,Chief Planner and Stephanie Skangos,
Associate Planner)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council, by motion:
1.Accept the 2022 Housing Element and General Plan Annual Progress Report; and
2.Authorize its transmittal to the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR)
and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 65400 requires that an Annual Progress Report (APR)be prepared on the
status and progress of implementation of the current Housing Element and General Plan.The APR must be
submitted to the City Council,the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR),and the California Department
of Housing and Community Development (HCD)by April 1st of each year (with a 60-day grace period).The
City intends to file the APR before the April 1st deadline. The APR is included as Attachments 1 and 2.
Housing Element Compliance with HCD Guidelines
The South San Francisco Housing Element covers the period of 2015-2023,and this APR represents the yearly
update on housing production.The formatting for the report continues to evolve to match the state’s high
priority for new housing units.This APR provides a comprehensive view of entitlement and building permitting
activity.The Annual Housing Element Progress Report (Attachment 1 in PDF and Attachment 2 in Excel)
includes the following tables:
·Table A - Housing Development Applications Submitted
·Table A2 -Annual Building Activity Report Summary,including completed entitlements,issued
building permits, and issued Certificates of Occupancy
·Table B - Summary of Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Progress
·Table C -Sites Identified or Rezoned to Accommodate Shortfall Housing Need and No Net-Loss Law -

any action or expenditure of funds.
Housing Element and Regional Planning
California requires each jurisdiction to prepare a Housing Element as part of its General Plan to ensure that all
jurisdictions are planning for the projected housing demand throughout the State.Unlike other elements of a
General Plan,the Housing Element must be updated by deadlines set by the State.The process begins with the
State advising a region of their Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA),which is the estimated number of
housing units that will be needed over the planning period.A total of 1,864 units are needed for South San
Francisco during the 2015-2023 cycle.The Housing Element does not require that these units are built during
the allocation cycle.The Housing Element only requires that a city have zoning in place to ensure that the
RHNA allocation can be constructed on adequate sites with permissible zoning regulations.
Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress Summary
For 2022,the City is reporting building permit issuance for 336 new residential units,which includes five (5)
single-family homes,279 multi-family units (195 for Cadence Phase II;and 84 for the ROEM projects,which
were technically issued building permits in the 2021 reporting year but did not get reported through the
permitting software correctly),and 52 accessory dwelling units (ADUs).New units that receive building permit
issuance during the reporting year are counted towards the current RHNA allocation.
In addition to the new units issued a building permit above,a total of 207 new residential units were finaled or
issued a certificate of occupancy.This includes one (1)single-family home,four (4)small multi-family units
(located within two-to-four unit structures), 172 multi-family units (for 988 El Camino Real), and 30 ADUs.
The City also approved Planning entitlements for 583 new residential units,consisting of one (1)single-family
home,eight (8)small multi-family units (located within two-to-four unit structures),and 574 multi-family units
(99 for the Bertolucci’s Redevelopment Project;183 for 180 El Camino Real;and 292 for Airport Boulevard).
Three Planning applications for new housing construction,totaling 547 potential units,were received in 2022,
as well, and are currently under review.
At the close of 2022,the City had issued building permits for 81%of the expected housing units for the City for
a total of 1,511 units out of the 1,864 units allocated through RHNA.
This is the reporting year for 2022, the eighth, and last, year of the eight-year reporting cycle:
1.The City has fulfilled expectations for the Above Moderate housing category,issuing a building permit
for 1,142 units (RHNA allocation is 705 units).
2.The City has not fulfilled expectations for the Very Low,Low,and Moderate housing categories,issuing
building permits for 147 Very Low units,71 Low units,and 151 Moderate units,for a total of 369 units.
(RHNA allocation is 565 Very Low units,281 Low units,and 313 Moderate units,for a total of 1,159

units).
3.Understanding the City’s pipeline,it is unlikely that the remainder of very-low-,low-,and moderate-
income units will be produced during the RHNA cycle.Issuance of building permits for the L37/Kasa
project would produce 158 units in these categories and boost City production of lower income units,
but that issuance date could happen at the very end of the current RHNA cycle or occur in the next
cycle, Cycle 6 covering the years 2023-2031.
4.There are no penalties for not providing lower income units;however,state legislation SB 35 does
create streamlining requirements for cities that do not produce housing.If the latest production report
submitted by the agency reflects that fewer units of below moderate housing (80%of median income
and below)were issued building permits than required by the RHNA during the reporting period,then
any proposed project that provides 50%of the proposed units as affordable will be given streamlined
and limited review by state law.South San Francisco falls within this category since building permits
have been issued for only 31.8% of lower income categories through 2022.
Program Implementation Status
Table D of the Housing Element Progress Report provides the status of implementing the current Housing
Element programs.Most programs are implemented and monitored on an ongoing basis;however,some
programs have deliverable dates prior to the end of the Housing Element cycle of 2023 and those have been
completed.
General Plan Compliance with Adopted OPR Guidelines
The City Council approved and adopted the South San Francisco 2040 General Plan on October 26,2022.The
new General Plan contains the following elements:Land Use and Community Design;Planning Sub-Areas;A
Prosperous Economy for All;Mobility and Access;Abundant and Accessible Parks and Recreation;Equitable
Community Services;Community Health and Environmental Justice;Community Resilience;Climate
Protection;Environmental and Cultural Stewardship;and Noise.The previous General Plan was adopted by the
City Council in 1999 and contained the State mandated Land Use;Transportation (Circulation);Open Space
and Conservation;Noise;and Health and Safety Elements.Additional local elements included Planning Sub-
Areas;Parks,Public Facilities and Services;and Economic Development.The respective elements were revised
intermittently since the 1999 adoption.
OPR adopted General Plan Guidelines in 2003,updated in 2017,for use by local jurisdictions in the preparation
of their general plans.The Guidelines are permissive,not mandatory and are quite extensive.For this year’s
required reporting on General Plan compliance with OPR Guidelines,the 1999 South San Francisco General
Plan was analyzed by staff,as this plan was effective for the majority of the 2022 calendar year.For the 2023
reporting year, and subsequent years, the 2040 General Plan will be analyzed for OPR Compliance.
Staff has determined that the 1999 General Plan was in compliance with the adopted OPR Guidelines in most
respects;however,it was in partial and non-compliance in several instances.Attachment 2 includes a checklist
indicating the degree of compliance of the previous South San Francisco General Plan with each Guideline
requirement.The 2040 General Plan update,to be analyzed next year,has brought the City’s General Plan into
full compliance with the Guidelines.

Submittal of the Annual Progress Report to OPR and HCD will have no financial impact on the City but does
continue to make the City eligible for regional grant funding.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The yearly reporting on the South San Francisco Housing Element and update on the City’s housing production
helps promote the City’s Quality of Life strategic goal in providing a comprehensive view of new housing units
produced within the reporting year,with a focus on the number of units produced within four different
affordability levels.Additionally,the yearly reporting provides the City with an opportunity to evaluate the
adopted programs and policies in the City’s Housing Element and their effectiveness in promoting the creation
of new housing and meeting the needs of the City’s residents’ quality of life.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council,by motion,accept the 2022 Housing Element and General Plan Annual
Progress Report on the implementation of the Housing Element and General Plan and authorize its transmittal
to the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and
Community Development.

1-1A - Vacant and
Underutilized Land
Inventory
The City shall periodically update its
inventory of vacant and underutilized
parcels identified in this Housing
Element. The City shall also conduct a
periodic review of the composition of
the housing stock, the types of dwelling
units under construction or expected to
be constructed during the following
year, and the anticipated mix, based on
development proposals approved or
under review by the City, of the housing
to be developed during the remainder of
the period covered by the Housing
Element. This analysis will be compared
to the City's remaining 2014-2022
Regional Housing Needs Allocation
(RHNA) to determine if any changes in
land use policy are warranted.
Annual
The City adopted the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan (DSASP) in February,
2015 and the DSASP implements new zoning regulations that increase height and
density to permit the City to construct appropriate units to meet the ABAG
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for 2014-2022.
Additionally, the City revised and updated the El Camino Real/Chestnut Avenue
Area Plan to reflect a new Community Civic Campus project. This project required
the City to update the list of housing opportunity sites in the Adopted Housing
Element. This revision has been submitted for review and approval by the
Department of Housing and Community Development. ONGOING

The City shall periodically review the
success of the Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance, SSFMC 20.380, to determine
if the objectives of the ordinance are
being met. Consideration shall be made
to revising provisions of the ordinance
to ensure that a range of housing
opportunities for all identifiable
economic segments of the population,
including households of low-and
moderate incomes, are provided.

1-4A - Site Acquisition
The City shall work with for-profit and
nonprofit housing developers to acquire
sites that are either vacant or developed
with underutilized, blighted, and/or
nonconforming uses for the
development of affordable housing. As
needed, the City will meet with
developers to discuss and identify
development opportunities and potential
funding sources.
2023
With adoption of the Successor Agency's Long Range Property Management Plan
by the State Department of Finance in late 2015, the City is positioned to help
coordinate the disposition of underutilized properties for development.
To date, City staff has met with several development representatives and made six
(6) properties in the Downtown area available through a Request for
Qualifications. One (1) site is complete with construction for 100% affordable
senior housing units. Two (2) sites will be developed with rental housing and up
to 100% affordable units due to the inclusion of City funding and affordable
housing competitive grant applications. One (1) site is entitled and has completed
construction for-sale high density housing with 20% inclusionary housing
required. A former firehouse has an entitlement application for a mixed use
development that will include 100% affordable for-sale housing and the City. The
City completed a Development Agreement and Purchase and Sale Agreement for a
4+ acre property that will be developed with 800 rental housing units and include a
20% affordable housing component. ONGOING

7-3B - Promote Green
Building Features
The City will utilize the following tools to
promote green building and energy
conserving features in new and existing
residential construction.
In 2009, the City completed the Green X-
Ray House, transforming an existing
single-family home into an energy
efficient model home. The City will use
the Green X-Ray House as a public
outreach tool to disseminate information
regarding energy-saving opportunities,
offering regular tours to homeowners
and homebuilders as well as for
promotional events. This home features
an array of products including solar
panels, radiant floor heating and
recycled glass tiles.
Staff has adopted the a Green Building
Ordinance (2014).
2023
Building Division staff implements and enforces the California Green Building
Code for all new residential and commercial projects. During residential
rehabilitation projects, like Rebuilding Together, replacement of
appliances/utilities includes energy and water conserving models. The Green X-
Ray house is no longer in operation. ONGOING

Motion to receive and file the City’s Housing Successor Agency Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
(Nell Selander, Economic & Community Development Director)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a motion to receive and file the Housing Successor Agency
Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2021-22.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of South San Francisco (“City”)is the Housing Successor Agency (“Housing Successor”)to the
former South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”),which was dissolved on February 1,2012.
Each housing successor agency is required to prepare an annual report on how it is meeting requirements
imposed by Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section 34176.1.
The report is due to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”)by April 1st
each year and must be posted on the City’s website.The report for Fiscal Year 2021-22 will be submitted to
HCD by April 1, 2023, and is being presented to the City Council to receive and file.
Review and Analysis
The Housing Successor is meeting all compliance requirements of HSC Section 34176.1 for Fiscal Year 2021-
22. Progress on major requirements is summarized below.
Housing Asset Fund Activity
As of June 30,2022,the Housing Asset Fund balance was approximately $4.2 million ($2.5 million of which
was cash).The Housing Asset Fund received $148,275 in revenues.The largest revenue source was rents from
Housing Successor affordable rental properties ($131,272).Other revenue sources included interest income and
loan repayments.
The Housing Successor spent $344,378 in Housing Asset Funds in Fiscal Year 2021-22.The expenditures
consisted of administrative items ($238,195)and rapid rehousing expenses ($106,183)in the form of
Emergency Rental Assistance.There were no expenditures for housing development projects during the fiscal
year.
Real Property Assets and Loans Receivable
As the Housing Successor, the City owns four properties with a statutory value of $6.8 million:
·339-341 Commercial contains two duplexes operated as affordable housing.The properties were
City of South San Francisco Printed on 3/24/2023Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™128
File #:23-182 Agenda Date:3/22/2023
Version:1 Item #:8.
·339-341 Commercial contains two duplexes operated as affordable housing.The properties were
originally purchased by the former Agency to mitigate a blighted property and create affordable
housing.
·714-718 Linden contains a triplex operated as affordable housing.The former Agency purchased the
property in 2005 to preserve the affordability of the units after the original affordability covenants
expired.
·630 Baden contains the Magnolia Senior Apartments,a 125-unit affordable multifamily development.
The Housing Successor owns 95,309-square feet of land under the building.
·636 El Camino contains an affordable multifamily housing complex developed by MidPen Housing.
The Housing Successor owns 87,121-square feet or land under the building.
All properties transferred from the former Agency to the Housing Successor were required to be developed for
affordable housing or sold by August 31,2017.The City meets this requirement because all properties
transferred from the former Agency are operated as affordable housing or have been sold.
The Housing Successor also oversees $23.3 million in loans receivable from First-Time Homebuyer Loans (7)
and Developer Loans (11)issued by the former Agency.However,it is important to note that the majority of the
loans receivable have been recorded as uncollectible in the Housing Asset Fund balance sheet.This is because
many of the loans are not payable unless a property is sold or other conditions are met.Any loan repayments
would be deposited into the Housing Asset Fund.
No new loans were added in FY 2021-22.
Expenditure Proportionality Requirements
Expenditures from the Housing Asset Fund must meet specific proportionality requirements by income level
and age. In general:
·Administrative and monitoring expenses are capped at five percent of the value of Housing Successor
properties and loans receivable on an annual basis.The cap was $367,929 million in Fiscal Year 2021-
22.
·Up to $250,000 may be spent annually on rapid rehousing solutions for homelessness.
·If Housing Asset Funds are spent on housing projects and programs,within each five-year compliance
period:
o At least 30%must be spent on extremely low-income households (earning up to 30%of the Area
Median Income);
o No more than 20%may be spent on low-income households (earning 60-80%of the Area
Median Income); and
o No monies may be spent on moderate or above moderate-income households (earning more than
80% of the Area Median Income).
·No more than 50%of rental housing units assisted by the City or the former Redevelopment Agency in

the prior 10 years may be restricted to seniors.
The Housing Successor meets the expenditure requirements because administrative and rapid rehousing
expenses were below the annual limits,and there were no expenditures on housing development projects.The
Housing Successor also meets the senior housing requirement.Of the 359 rental units assisted by the
Redevelopment Agency or City within the last 10 years,81 (23%)are restricted to seniors.Staff will ensure
these requirements continue to be met with future expenditures.
Excess Surplus
Housing successors are subject to the same excess surplus requirement as former redevelopment agencies.An
agency has an excess surplus if its unencumbered cash balance is greater than $1 million or if it exceeds the
sum of deposits in the prior four years,whichever is greater.Housing successors must spend or encumber
excess surplus within three fiscal years or transfer its excess surplus to HCD to spend on statewide housing
programs.
South San Francisco's Housing Successor has an excess surplus $1,076,383 for FY 2021-22.The Housing Asset
Fund’s beginning cash balance ($2.5 million)is greater than the sum of deposits in the prior four years ($1.4
million).Additionally,the Housing Successor did not encumber or expend any funds on housing development
projects during the fiscal year.Excess surplus must be accounted for separately and encumbered or expended
within 3 fiscal years or by June 30,2025.If the Housing Successor fails to comply the remaining excess surplus
must be transferred to HCD within 90 days of June 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no implications of receiving and filing this annual report on the City’s activities as the housing
successor agency to the former Agency.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Supporting affordable housing,and providing funding for affordable housing,is in line with the City’s Strategic
Plan Priority #2: Quality of Life, providing a full range of housing options.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a motion to receive and file the Housing Successor Agency
Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2021-22.

INTRODUCTION
This Housing Successor Agency Annual Report (“Annual Report”) presents information on Fiscal Year
(“FY”) 2021-22 expenditures and activities as required by Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section
34176.1(f), including but not limited to a housing successor’s compliance with certain expenditure
activities over the year as well as a five-year planning period. This Annual Report is required of any
housing successor to a former redevelopment agency.
City as Housing Successor
The City of South San Francisco (“City”) is the Housing Successor Agency (“Housing Successor”) to the
former South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”) which was dissolved with all other
redevelopment agencies statewide by the Legislature in 2012. At the time of dissolution, a housing
successor was to be selected to transfer and be responsible for the remaining assets and liabilities of a
former redevelopment agency. The City elected to be the Housing Successor to the Agency by adoption
of Resolution No. 08-2012 on January 25, 2012.
Scope of This Housing Successor Annual Report
This Annual Report is limited to the Housing Successor’s activities as it relates to its role as a housing
successor and is not necessarily comprehensive of all of the City's housing activities. This may include,
but is not limited to, financial activities, property disposition, loan administration, monitoring of covenants,
and affordable housing development. This Annual Report describes compliance with various annual, five-
year, and ten-year housing expenditure and production requirements. FY 2021-22 is the third year of the
current five-year compliance period for income proportionality, which began July 1, 2019, and ends June
30, 2024.
This Annual Report is an addendum to the City’s Housing Element Annual Progress Report. Both are
due to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) by April 1 annually.
The Housing Successor’s audited financial statements will be posted on the City’s website when available
and are incorporated herein by reference.
Assets Transferred to the Housing Successor
Upon the statewide dissolution of redevelopment in 2012, all rights, powers, committed assets, liabilities,
duties, and obligations associated with the affordable housing activities of the Agency were transferred
133
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2021-22

to the Housing Successor. As one of its first duties as a housing successor, the City prepared and
submitted to the California Department of Finance (“DOF”) an inventory of housing assets to be
transferred from the former Agency. The inventory was enumerated on a Housing Asset Transfer Form
(“HAT”) which included:
1. Real properties;
2. Personal properties;
3. Loans receivable; and
4. Rents/operations
All items on the HAT were reviewed and ultimately approved by the DOF on August 31, 2012. A copy of
the HAT is provided as Appendix 3. Once approved by DOF and as directed by law, the City, acting as
housing successor, transferred these assets to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund
(“Housing Asset Fund”, Fund 241). Approval of the HAT set in motion a series of obligations by the City
as a housing successor, as described in the following section.
BACKGROUND
This Section summarizes the legal requirements for use of housing successor assets that are addressed
in this Annual Report.
Legal Requirements Pertaining to Housing Successors
In general, housing successors must comply with three major requirements pursuant to HSC Section
34176.1:
1. Expenditures and housing production are subject to income and age targets.
2. Housing successors may not accumulate an “excess surplus,” or a high unencumbered Housing
Asset Fund balance based on certain thresholds.
3. Properties must be developed with affordable housing within five to ten years of DOF’s approval
of the HAT.
134

Appendix 1 provides a detailed summary of the reporting requirements that are addressed in this Annual
Report.
Permitted Uses of Housing Asset Funds
Pursuant to HSC Section 34176.1, Housing Asset Funds may be spent on:
• Administrative costs for operation of the housing successor agency. The law allows a housing
successor to spend the greater of:
o $200,000 per year adjusted for inflation, or
o 5 percent of the statutory value of real property owned by the housing successor and the
value of loans and grants receivable from the HAT (“Portfolio”).
According to HCD, the $200,000 per year adjusted for inflation limit in FY 2020-21 was $223,400.
As of the date of this report, HCD has not published an updated limit for FY 2021-22. However,
the net value of the Housing Successor’s real property and loans receivable (after an allowance
for uncollectible) is $7,358,579, 5 percent of which is $367,929, which is significantly higher than
the HCD limit. Therefore, South San Francisco’s FY 2021-22 annual administrative cost limit is
$367,929, the higher of these amounts.
• Homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services up to $250,000 per year if the former
redevelopment agency did not have any outstanding inclusionary housing or replacement housing
production requirements as of 2012. South San Francisco is eligible for this expense because it
did not have any outstanding inclusionary or replacement housing requirements upon dissolution.
• Affordable housing development assisting households up to 80 percent of the Area Median
Income (“AMI”), subject to specific income and age targets over a five-year period.
Five-Year Income Proportionality on Development Expenditures: Housing Asset Funds
may be spent on development of affordable housing projects affordable to low, very low, and
extremely low-income households. “Development” is defined in HSC Section 33413 and
includes “new construction, substantial rehabilitation, the acquisition of long-term affordability
covenants, or the preservation of assisted housing development that is eligible for prepayment
135
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2021-22
4
or termination or for which the expiration of rental restrictions is scheduled to occur within five
years.”
Over each successive five-year compliance period beginning in 2014, at least 30 percent of
development expenditures must assist extremely low-income households (30 percent AMI),
while no more than 20 percent may assist low-income households (between 60-80 percent
AMI). The balance of the funds may be used on very low-income households (defined as
households earning between 30-60 percent of AMI).
The Housing Successor was compliant with Housing Asset Fund income proportionality
expenditure requirements during the first five-year compliance period from January 1, 2014
through June 30, 2019. The current (second) five-year compliance period is July 1, 2019 to
June 30, 2024.
Note that housing successors must report expenditures by category each year, but
compliance with income proportionality limits is measured every five years. For example, a
housing successor could spend all its funds in a single year on households earning between
60-80 percent AMI, as long as it was 20 percent or less of the total expenditures during the
five-year compliance period.
Should a housing successor not spend at least 30 percent of its development expenditures
for extremely low-income households, or exceeds the amount spent on low-income
households, future expenditures are subject to greater restrictions until these proportionality
targets are met. Specifically, if a housing successor is unable to spend at least 30 percent of
its development expenditures on extremely low-income units, it is required to increase this
spending to 50 percent until compliant with the 30 percent threshold; a housing successor that
spends more than 20 percent of its development expenditures on low-income units cannot
spend any further funds on low-income developments until it is at or below the 20 percent
threshold.
As such, tracking these expenditures and their progress over the corresponding five-year
period is an important function of this Annual Report.
Ten-Year Age Proportionality on Units Assisted: If more than 50 percent of the total
aggregate number of rental units produced by the city, housing successor, or former
136
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2021-22
5
redevelopment agency during the past 10 years are restricted to seniors, the housing
successor may not spend more Housing Asset Funds on senior rental housing.
It is important to stress that Housing Successor expenditure and production requirements are measured
on different timeframes:
• One-Year Limits: Administrative Allowance and Homeless Prevention Allowance. Compliance
evaluated annually and resets every year.
• Five-Year Limit: Expenditures by Income Level. Compliance evaluated over a fixed five-year
period set by law, the current period being July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024.
• Ten-Year Limit: Number of Senior Deed-Restricted Units Assisted. Compliance evaluated based
on a rolling ten-year period that is different every year, the current period being FY 2012-13 to FY
2021-22.
Appendix 2 describes Housing Asset Fund expenditure requirements in more detail, including the types
of costs eligible in each category.
Limits on the Accumulation of Housing Funds (Excess Surplus)
State law limits how much cash a housing successor may retain and, if it fails to commit and spend these
dollars in a reasonable timeframe, ultimately penalizes the housing successor by requiring unspent funds
to be transferred to HCD for use on State housing programs.
HSC Section 34176.1(d) establishes a limit, known as an “excess surplus” on the amount of
unencumbered Housing Asset Funds based on the greater of:
• $1,000,000, or
• The total amount of deposits made into the Housing Asset Fund over the preceding four years.
Only amounts in excess of this threshold are considered an excess surplus. Once an excess surplus is
determined, a housing successor must account for these funds separately and encumber said monies
within three years. If after the third year the excess surplus has not been fully encumbered, the remaining
balance of the excess surplus is to be transferred to HCD within 90 days. HCD is permitted to use these
137
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2021-22

transferred excess surplus funds anywhere in the State under its Multifamily Housing Program or the Joe
Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program.
As part of the Annual Report, a housing successor must disclose any excess surplus and describe the
housing successor’s plan for eliminating this excess surplus.
HOUSING ASSET FUND ACTIVITY
This section describes FY 2021-22 Housing Asset Fund activity and balances.
Deposits and Fund Balance
The Housing Successor had net deposits of $148,275 in the Housing Asset Fund during FY 2021-22
from a variety of sources, as shown in Table 1.
Expenditures
The Housing Successor expended a total of $344,378 during FY 2021-22. Of the total amount expended,
$238,195 was spent on administrative costs and $106,183 was spent on homeless prevention and rapid
rehousing (Emergency Rental Assistance). Both were well under their respective expenditure limits, with
a maximum administrative cost limit for FY 2021-22 of $367,929 (based on 5 percent of the Housing
Successor's Portfolio Balance) and a Homeless Prevention/Rapid Rehousing cost limit of $250,000. The
City did not make any affordable housing development related expenditures and therefore remains in
compliance with the proportionality requirement for the current five-year period.

Ending Cash and Fund Balance
The Housing Asset Fund had an ending asset balance $4,240,212 as of June 30, 2022, as summarized
in Table 2.
Housing Successor Portfolio
The Housing Successor Portfolio as of FY 2021-22 includes four properties and eighteen loans
receivable. No new loans were added in FY 2021-22. The Portfolio had a net value of $7,358,579 as of
FY 2021-22, as detailed in Table 3. Note that the Loans Receivable are mostly offset by an “Allowance
for Uncollectible” indicating that the City does not anticipate repayment. This is because many of the
loans do not become due and payable unless a property is sold or other conditions are met.

REAL PROPERTIES AND DISPOSITION STATUS
Pursuant to the approved HAT, the former Agency transferred eight properties to the Housing Successor,
including four multifamily properties, two single family homes, and two parcels of land (land under existing
buildings).
HSC Section 34176.1(e) requires all real properties acquired by a redevelopment agency prior to
February 1, 2012 and transferred to the housing successor to be developed pursuant to the requirements
detailed in HSC Section 33334.16. All property that falls within these parameters must be developed for
affordable housing purposes or sold by August 31, 2017. If the Housing Successor is unable to develop
or dispose of these properties within the five-year period, the law allows for a five-year extension via
adoption of a resolution. All Housing Successor properties transferred on the Housing Asset Transfer
Form are subject to this provision.
The City meets the property disposition requirement because all properties transferred from the former
Agency to the Housing Successor are already operating as affordable housing or have been sold.
Descriptions of the properties and their disposition status are below.

• 310 - 314 MILLER (APNs 012-311-230, 240, & 250) – Three properties consisting of 13,000
square feet total were donated in May 2016 to Rotary Plaza, Inc. for $1 for the purpose of
developing affordable multifamily housing. The property has 81 affordable units, which are to
remain affordable for no less than 55 years.
• 380 ALTA VISTA (APN 013-232-170) - A single-family home sits on this 9,100-square foot lot. It
was initially purchased by the Agency to remove blighting conditions and illegal bedrooms in the
home. The property was sold in October 2016 and $1,016,276 in sales proceeds were deposited
into the Housing Asset Fund. The funds will be used for affordable housing purposes as required
by law.
Properties Retained
• 339 – 341 COMMERCIAL (APN 012-333-050) - This 2,500-square foot lot contains two duplexes.
The City purchased the property in 1999 with funding from the former Agency, as well as HOME
funds, to mitigate the blighted property and create affordable housing units.
• 714 – 718 LINDEN (APN 012-145-430) - A triplex sits on this 3,500-square foot lot located near
the City’s Downtown core. The City initially helped the owner rehabilitate the property in return for
charging affordable rents. In 2005, when the affordability restriction expired and the owner
intended to sell the property, the City purchased the property with funding from the former Agency
to preserve the units’ affordability.
• 630 BADEN (APN 012-241-230) - The Housing Successor owns 95,309-square feet of land under
the Magnolia Plaza Senior Apartments, a 125-unit affordable senior apartment complex. The City
purchased the Magnolia/Baden property from a local school district using funding from the former
Agency and leases the land to Magnolia Plaza Associates as affordable housing.
• 636 EL CAMINO (APN 014-160-040) - The Housing Successor owns 87,121-square feet of land
under an affordable multifamily development operated by MidPen Housing. The former Agency
entered into a $9,988,434 loan agreement and ground lease with MP South City II, L.P. in March
2011 for the development of affordable units. The project consists of 108 affordable units, which
are to remain affordable for no less than 75 years.
141
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2021-22

LOANS RECEIVABLE
The former Agency initially transferred thirty-three loan agreements as part of the approved HAT. There
are currently eighteen loans receivable as of FY 2021-22. The outstanding loans are described below:
• Seven First-Time Homebuyer Loans are administered by the Housing Successor with an
outstanding balance of $209,714 as of June 30, 2022. The loans were issued to assist low and
moderate-income first-time home buyers. Since the former Agency’s dissolution, sixteen out of
twenty-one loans that had been transferred were paid off, and 2 new loans have been issued.
• Eleven Developer Loans are administered by the Housing Successor with an outstanding
balance of $23,050,631 as of June 30, 2022. The loans were issued to develop affordable
housing throughout the City. A total of twelve developer loans were transferred on the HAT, of
which two have been paid off since dissolution. Additionally, a new loan to developer ROEM
was added in FY 2020-21 to assist a scattered development project at two locations: 201-219
Grand Avenue and 418 Linden Avenue. The Grand Avenue development comprises 47
residential units and about 5,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space located on
former RDA property. The Linden Avenue development comprises 37 residential units on former
City land. The project is governed by a Development Agreement as well as an Affordable
Housing Regulatory Agreement.
It is important to note that $22.7 million of the loans receivable value is accounted for in the "Allowance
for Uncollectibles", as shown in the asset balance in Table 2. This is because many of the loans are not
due and payable unless a property is sold or other conditions are met.
COMPLIANCE WITH EXPENDITURE & PRODUCTION LIMITS
During the 2021-22 Fiscal Year, the Housing Successor was in compliance with all annual and five and
ten-year planning period requirements as described in this section.
Proportionality Requirements
As summarized in Figure 1 below, the Housing Successor fully complied with all Housing Asset Fund
spending restrictions:
142
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2021-22
11
• During FY 2021-22, the Housing Successor expended $238,195 on allowable administrative
expenses which is well under the current year maximum limit of $367,929. The annual limit on
administrative expenses is the greater of $200,000 (plus inflation), or 5 percent of the Housing
Successor Portfolio balance. As shown in Table 3, the Portfolio balance is $7,358,579, of which
5 percent is $367,929.
• During FY 2021-22, the Housing Successor used $106,183 of Housing Asset Funds for homeless
prevention or rapid rehousing expenses and was therefore in compliance with the $250,000
spending restriction.
• The Housing Successor spent $0 on affordable housing development-related expenditures during
FY 2021-22. To date, the only expenditure on housing developments made during the current
five-year compliance was made in FY 2020-21 and was entirely allocated to extremely low-income
households (30 percent AMI or below). Therefore, the Housing Successor currently meets the
five-year income proportionality targets.
143
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2021-22
12
Figure 1: FY 2021-22 Housing Asset Fund Expenditure Summary
The Housing Successor will ensure it continues to meet all Housing Asset Fund expenditure requirements
throughout this five-year compliance period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2024 and future five-year
compliance periods.
Failure to comply with the extremely low income requirement in any five-year compliance period would
result in the Housing Successor having to ensure that 50 percent of remaining funds be spent on
extremely low income rental units until in compliance. Exceeding the expenditure limit for low-income
households earning between 60-80 percent AMI in any five-year reporting period will result in the Housing
Successor not being able to expend any additional funds on these income categories until in compliance.
Senior Rental Housing Limit Compliance
Pursuant to HSC Section 34176(b), a maximum of 50 percent of deed-restricted rental housing units
assisted by the former Agency, Housing Successor, or City in the previous 10 years may be restricted to

seniors. The Housing Successor complies with the limit allowing no more than 50 percent of the total
aggregate number of rental units produced within the preceding ten years to be restricted to seniors. The
Housing Successor, City, and former Agency collectively assisted 359 deed-restricted rental units in the
last ten years, 81 of which are restricted to seniors. Within the last 10 years, 23 percent of the deed-
restricted units assisted by the Housing Successor, City, and former Agency are restricted to seniors,
well below the limit. Table 4 details units assisted by project.
Excess Surplus
The Housing Asset Fund may not accumulate an “excess surplus”, or an unencumbered cash balance
that exceeds the greater of either $1 million or the sum of deposits in the prior four fiscal years. This
requirement ensures that housing successors are actively spending available Housing Asset Funds on
affordable housing.
At the beginning of the FY 2021-22, the Housing Successor had an unencumbered cash balance of
$2,455,679 which exceeds the total amount of deposits over the prior four years which amount to
$1,379,296. Therefore, the Housing Successor has an excess surplus of $1,076,383 for FY 2021-22 as
shown in Table 5 below.

Excess surplus funds must be accounted for separately and expended or encumbered within three fiscal
years. If a housing successor fails to comply, it must transfer any excess surplus to HCD within 90 days
of the end of the third fiscal year. Accordingly, the Housing Successor will ensure that these funds are
expended or encumbered by FY 2024-25 and will continue to monitor its deposits and expenditures to
avoid any future excess surplus.

Report regarding a resolution approving Parcel Map 22-1236 for the purposes of dedicating new public
easements and splitting the existing parcel into three lots as part of the 180 El Camino Real Redevelopment
project;and authorizing the recording of said Parcel Map and all related documents with the San Mateo County
Recorder.(Jason Hallare, Senior Civil Engineer)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving Parcel Map 22-1236 for the
purposes of dedicating new public easements and splitting the existing parcel into three lots as part of the
180 El Camino Real Redevelopment project;and authorizing the recording of said Parcel Map and all
related documents with the San Mateo County Recorder.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Steelwave,LLC is redeveloping the existing 180 El Camino Real property into a mixed use and life sciences
campus.On September 14,2022,the Planning Commission approved entitlements for the Phase 2 project
consisting of three new R&D/life sciences,one new residential,and one parking structure at the 11.214-acre
remainder parcel of 180 El Camino Real (APN 014-183-110)previously subdivided as part of Parcel Map 22-
0269. The location and visual depiction are shown in Attachment 1.
The proposed redeveloped site and structures require dedication of public easements pursuant to the conditions
of approval for the project (P21-0126/UP21-0013).Along the El Camino Real frontage,a new public access
easement for pedestrian sidewalks will be created.Through the site’s rear (southeastern)roadway,a new
emergency access easement for emergency vehicle access will be created.The locations of these new easements
and site overview are shown in Attachment 2.
There are existing public easements.A public sanitary sewer easement and a public emergency vehicle access
easement along the Internal Drive must remain.The parcel map identifies these existing easements as “S.S.E”
and “E.V.A.E.”respectively.A public storm drain easement along the South Spruce frontage must also remain.
The existing easements are shown in Attachment 2.
Parcel Map
The City Engineer and the City’s technical reviewer,with concurrence of all affected City departments and
divisions,have determined that the parcel map for 180 El Camino Real (“Parcel Map 22-1236”),described in
Exhibit A of the attached resolution is in compliance with the Subdivision Map Act,the City’s Subdivision
Ordinance, and all applicable conditions of approval for said development.
Parcel Map 22-1236 will split the existing 11.214-acre parcel into a 1.904-acre Parcel B,6.063-acre Parcel C,
and 3.247-acre Parcel D to construct the new buildings.The site is served by the public roads:El Camino Real
to the southwest and Huntington Avenue to the northeast.
A subdivision improvement agreement is not included as part of this parcel map because the conditions of
approval did not require a subdivision improvement agreement nor any major public improvements aside from
frontage improvements.All other improvements in the right-of-way will be covered by an encroachment permit
that the Developer will obtain prior to building permit issuance and be covered by an encroachment permit

that the Developer will obtain prior to building permit issuance and be covered by an encroachment permit
bond.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approving the parcel map will have no fiscal impact on the City.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Approval of this parcel map will contribute to the City’s Strategic Plan outcome of improved Quality of Life by
promoting a full range of employment through development in SSF Priority Area 2, Initiative 2.4.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Parcel Map 22-1236 for 180 El
Camino Real, authorizing the recordation of the parcel map and all related documents.

Report regarding adoption of a resolution approving a third amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement
with Kimley Horn and Associates and amending the total budget for the Smart Corridors South San Francisco
Expansion Project.(Angel Torres, Senior Civil Engineer)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a third amendment to the
Consulting Services Agreement with Kimley Horn and Associates for an additional $88,344.90,for a total
amount not to exceed $448,064.90,extending the contract term,and authorizing a total contract
authority budget of $500,000 for the Smart Corridors South San Francisco Expansion Project.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The South San Francisco Smart Corridors Expansion Project (“Project”)is part of the overall countywide traffic
management system Smart Corridors deployment.
The Project is not a traditional project where physical roadway improvements are made,but an implementation
of traffic management devices that will enable the City,state law enforcement agencies,and fire departments to
proactively and cooperatively manage freeway and arterial traffic congestion during major freeway incidents.
ITS infrastructure improvements fall under four categories:arterial management,incident management,traveler
information and transit management.
The Project will extend the San Mateo County Smart Corridors deployment north to include routes located in
the City and include:Airport Boulevard,Oyster Point Road,Gateway Boulevard and Grand Avenue (from the
southern City limits to the Grand Avenue/Gateway Boulevard intersection).The project will also support the
overall San Mateo County Smart Corridors program.
The Project work includes the installation of:
-Directional (trailblazer) signs;
-Fixed closed-circuit television cameras;
-Arterial dynamic message signs;
-Traffic signal controllers;
-Microwave vehicle detection systems; and
-Fiber optic cable communications connections.
Because the Project will take place within the South San Francisco city boundary,the City will be the
“Implementing Agency”leading the construction phase and administering the construction contract.However,
C/CAG will remain as the overall “Project Sponsor”of the Smart Corridor Project and provide funding for the
Project.
Third Amendment to Kimley-Horn and Associates Consulting Services Agreement
Kimley-Horn and Associates (“Kimley-Horn”)is the City’s design engineer for the Smart Corridor Expansion

File #:23-191 Agenda Date:3/22/2023
Version:1 Item #:10.
Kimley-Horn and Associates (“Kimley-Horn”)is the City’s design engineer for the Smart Corridor Expansion
Project.To date,Kimley-Horn has provided professional services to complete the design,permitting,
construction documents and reviewed the majority of the material submittals and Requests for Information
(RFIs)received.As the Project transitioned into the construction phase after a long time set-back due to Covid-
19,and material procurement issues,the design team continued attending weekly progress meetings,reviewing
material submittals,RFIs and design proposed design changes due to site conditions.Staff recommends
approving a third amendment to Kimley-Horn’s consulting services agreement to provide additional design
support during construction services.The additional design support during construction would include items
that require design engineer’s input that typically come up on these types of construction projects including:
-Complete remaining material submittal reviews
-Review and respond to contractor requests for information (RFIs)
-Review and prepare revised documents for Contract Change Orders (CCOs)
-Prepare Construction Record Drawings
-Attend Construction Field Visits
-Attend Construction Weekly Progress Meetings
The following details the amendments to the design support budget for Kimley-Horn through design and
construction:
Design Support Budget Original Second

Budget $280,000.00 $280,000.00 $280,000.00
+Contingency $56,000.00 $35,972.00 $51,935.10
+Design Support During Construction $79,720.00 $168,064.90
Total Project Design Amended Budget $336,000.00 $395,692.00 $500,000.00
The contingency for Kimley-Horn will be utilized for any unforeseen site conditions during construction
requiring additional support to prepare responses for RFIs or CCOs.
With the increase in dollar amount under the contract,staff also recommends the term of the agreement be
extended from December 31, 2023 to May 31, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adopting this resolution will have no fiscal impact to the City.This project is included in the City of South San
Francisco’s Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Capital Improvements Program (Project No.tr2002)and is funded through
State and County funding.The amendment to the consulting services agreement is within the $8.159M
construction budget.

Report regarding a resolution authorizing the acceptance of a $5,000 donation from the South San Francisco
Police Activities League for the Orange Memorial Park Sports Field Project (project number pk1402),and
amending the Parks and Recreation Department’s Operating Budget pursuant to budget amendment #23.054.
(Greg Mediati, Director, Parks and Recreation Department)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the acceptance of a $5,000 donation
from the South San Francisco Police Activities League to be used toward the construction of the Orange
Memorial Park Sports Field Project.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
For many years,the baseball and softball fields at Orange Memorial Park served as a hub for the sports
community in South San Francisco.The field had been regularly used for youth baseball,South San Francisco
High School varsity baseball, and adult softball.
In 2018,grant funding from Caltrans for the storm water capture project at Orange Memorial Park was
approved,which necessitated that the field be razed and replaced after installation of the subsurface cistern and
water treatment facility.This project provided an opportunity for the City to reimagine the future of the
ballfield, which ultimately resulted in a preference for an all-weather synthetic athletic field.
In 2020,the City Council awarded a contract to Verde Design Landscape Architects to develop construction
documents for the project.Upon the completion of community outreach and design,a construction contract was
awarded to Interstate Grading and Paving in early 2022.Construction began in June 2022.Currently the project
is on budget and on schedule. A grand opening, pending further inclement weather, is anticipated this summer.
The project consists of new synthetic fields,a pre-fabricated concessions building,sports field and pedestrian
lighting,electrical improvements,fencing,safety netting,pedestrian paving,planting and irrigation
improvements at Orange Memorial Park.
Shortly after construction began in August 2022,the South San Francisco Police Activities League offered to
donate $5,000 toward the project,honoring a years-old commitment to support improvements to Orange
Memorial Park.The donation was subsequently approved by their board,and the donation was received by staff
earlier this year.
The generous donation is helping fund the replanting of three mature palms,which are now located on the
corner of Memorial Drive and West Orange Avenue behind the Archie Fregosi Field backstop.One of these
trees was relocated from within the park,while two were provided by the Town of Hillsborough where theyCity of South San Francisco Printed on 3/24/2023Page 1 of 2

trees was relocated from within the park,while two were provided by the Town of Hillsborough where they
were slated for removal for a storm drain replacement project.The Police Activities League’s donation will be
recognized with a plaque placed beneath these three trees.
FISCAL IMPACT
Receipt of this donation has no impact to the City’s general fund and will be used to offset project costs.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Acceptance of this funding will contribute to the City’s Strategic Plan under Priority #2 by helping to create
high-quality parks and recreation facilities for residents to enjoy.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the acceptance of a $5,000 donation from
the South San Francisco Police Activities League to be used toward the construction of the Orange Memorial
Park Sports Field Project.
The Parks and Recreation Department appreciates contributions from individual community members and local
organizations that help continue and enhance the Department’s mission to provide opportunities for physical,
cultural and social well-being,protect and enhance the physical environment,and ensure the effective and
efficient use of public facilities and open space.

Report regarding a resolution authorizing the acceptance of $15,000 in grant funding from Smart Growth
America to support the City’s participation in the Complete Streets Leadership Academy with Caltrans.
(Christopher Espiritu, Senior Transportation Planner)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the acceptance of $15,000 in grant
funding from Smart Growth America (SGA)to support the City’s participation in the Complete Streets
Leadership Academy with Caltrans.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In July 2022,Caltrans District 4 Staff approached the City of South San Francisco for support on their
application to Smart Growth America’s Complete Streets Leadership Academies Program.The Program is a
technical assistance and peer learning program with virtual and in-person workshops funded by a Cooperative
Agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC)Division of Nutrition,Physical
Activity, and Obesity.
The Program is designed to help state DOTs and local communities work together to put Complete Streets into
practice,engage in peer learning,and improve cross-jurisdictional coordination.Caltrans was selected to
participate in the Program to work with the City of South San Francisco,and the cities of Berkeley and San
Leandro.Together,Caltrans and the three local jurisdictions will learn about Complete Streets best practices
and discuss policy and procedural barriers to Complete Streets at the state and local levels.Throughout the
workshops,participants will collaborate to plan and install a “quick-build”temporary Complete Street
demonstration project on state-owned roadways at each jurisdiction (SSF: SR 82 - El Camino Real).
The City and its partners:Caltrans,SamTrans,San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA),San
Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE),Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC),and others,aim to
obtain a better understanding of the challenges and potential for implementing Complete Streets concepts on
South City streets.This Academy would be especially helpful in providing the City with tools for implementing
Complete Streets projects on intra-city roadways,such as El Camino Real (SR 82)and replicate successful
strategies for installation on local streets.
As part of the grant, SGA requires each jurisdiction to:

3.Install a Complete Streets temporary demonstration project on a state-owned road through coordination
with Caltrans. This project shall be installed by Summer 2023.
4.Work with SGA to produce a case study about the participant city’s demonstration project and analyze
its projected benefits;
The grant award would support the City’s Complete Streets temporary demonstration project to be installed on
El Camino Real between Orange Ave and Ponderosa Ave (SSF High School).This includes a temporary
reconfiguration of the roadway to implement the following elements:
- Protected bike lanes on both sides
- Bus/bike lane at bus stop locations
- Parking removal to accommodate the bike lane
- 3-stage Bike turn at ECR/Ponderosa to demonstrate/facilitate safe bike movements across the intersection
-No reduction in existing travel lanes but may need further discussion regarding a short bus/bike lane concept
with Caltrans
More specifically,the grant award would be used for the purchase of temporary materials for the demonstration
project (i.e.,barriers,paint,temporary delineators)and other support needs including additional materials,
supplies, or refreshments for a public event, or other expenses to make the project a success.
FISCAL IMPACT
Grant funds will be used to amend the Economic and Community Development Department’s current FY 22-23
Operating Budget per Budget Amendment #23.053.Receipt of these funds does not commit the City to ongoing
funding.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Grant funding to support the City’s participation in the Complete Streets Academy Program will provide an
opportunity for the City to explore possible multi-modal safety improvements on a trial basis and collect
information on challenges and advance the goals of the General Plan’s Mobility and Safety elements,and the
City’s Active Transportation Plan (Active South City).The installation of temporary Complete Streets concepts
is an action item in the City’s Strategic Plan under Priority #2: Quality of Life.
CONCLUSION
Receipt of these funds would support the City’s participation in the Complete Streets Leadership Academy and
would introduce a Complete Streets demonstration project on an important corridor for the City.It is
recommended that the City Council accept $15,000 in grant funding and amend the Economic and Community
Development Department’s FY 22-23 Operating Budget via Budget Amendment #23.053.

Support
Dear South City Council and Staff,
My name is Anthony Montes, and I'm a community organizer with the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition supporting a
team of advocates in creating a South City that is safe and accessible for everyone – not just drivers.
I am excited to hear that the city is receiving $15,000 from Smart Growth America to develop a temporary traffic
facility on El Camino Real (ECR). As you may know, ECR is one of the deadliest roads in San Mateo County and
accounts for nearly 20 percent of all bicycle and pedestrian fatalities in the county since 2019.
More must be done to protect all road users. Leaders, professionals, and advocates across the county have
developed plans and strategies in their respective cities, and together, through the Grand Boulevard Initiative. Yet,
we have made little progress with respect to infrastructure improvements on ECR.
South City has an opportunity to make a significant step forward and demonstrate to residents that prioritizing and
protecting people that walk, bike, and roll on El Camino Real benefits each member of the community.
To that end, we hope that you can leverage the dollars you receive to make a project that is:
Bold in scope and fills gaps in the existing network: Residents can better experience the benefits of the facility when
it connects them to vital points of interests or arterials that make multi-modal traveling more seamless. We
recommend choosing an area that is prioritized in the Active South City Plan to make headway on meeting its goals,
and tying this project to ongoing Safe Routes to School efforts/programming.
Provides adequate protections for bicyclists: The facility should include bollards or other materials that provide a
barrier between vehicles and users. Paint will not protect people and cannot offer the same comfort that a physical
barrier can. Considering concrete is very expensive, we hope you can find cost-effective and creative solutions to
provide some type of barrier.
Developed with community members: Neighbors, business owners, community groups, schools, and other vital
stakeholders need to be brought into the process. Our success lies in demonstrating to these constituencies that re-
configuring ECR is a benefit to the whole community. The city should bring these folks in early and often through the
duration of the planning.
As a member of the city's cohort for the Smart Growth America workshop, I look forward to working with Chris
Espiritu and his team to ensure this project can have the maximum impact.
Thank you for your time.
Best,
Anthony Montes

Report regarding a resolution continuing to declare and ratify the existence of a local emergency relating to
major storm and flooding events.(Sharon Ranals, City Manager and Sky Woodruff, City Attorney)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution continuing to declare and ratify the existence of a
local emergency, initially proclaimed by the City Manager in her capacity as the Director of Emergency
Services, relating to major storm and flooding events.
BACKGROUND
Government Code sections 8630 and 8634,contained within Article 14 of the California Emergency Services
Act,empower the City Council and Director of Emergency Services to proclaim the existence or threatened
existence of a “Local Emergency”when the City of South San Francisco (“City”)is affected or likely to be
affected by a public calamity.
Under the Municipal Code,an “emergency”for the purpose of declaring a Local Emergency is defined as “the
actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property”
within South San Francisco,caused by conditions such as “air pollution,fire,flood,storm...”In such
circumstances,the City Manager acting as the Director of Emergency Services is authorized to proclaim the
existence or threatened existence of a Local Emergency if the City Council is not in session,or to request the
City Council to proclaim such a state of Local Emergency.
On January 3,2023,the City Manager,in her capacity as the Director of Emergency Services,issued a
proclamation proclaiming the existence of a Local Emergency due to major storm and flooding events.As
shown by events leading up to that proclamation,South San Francisco has experienced unprecedented
atmospheric river weather events,which resulted in storm,heavy rainfall and damaging winds that have
continued throughout the weeks after.These severe weather conditions have resulted in flooding,mudslides,
fallen trees,and related incidents.For instance,storm weather damages included flooding and closure of
Highway 101 at Oyster Point in both directions (which has since been re-opened);water leaks and damages at
various City facilities;and mudslides at Hillside Blvd.and the Sign Hill areas.The County of San Mateo and
the City have both opened and been operating their respective Emergency Operations Center (EOC)in response
to red/major storm advisories issued by the National Weather Service.
In response to the major storm events,the City will need to take preventive and remedial actions,such as:
establishing Temporary Evacuation Points;undertake streets,storm drain,and public facility repairs;debris
clean-up;outreach and communication to the public regarding weather conditions and incidents;conduct
damage assessments for facilities and locations impacted by storm,wind or flooding incidents;and staffing the
EOC operations.The proclamation issued on January 3,2023 was intended to ensure the availability of mutual
aid;the ability to enter into necessary contracts pursuant to the provisions and restrictions of California Public
Contract Code Section 22050;and an effective response to potential injuries or property damage resulting from
the major storm and flooding events or other related conditions thereto which would constitute “extreme peril
to the safety of persons and property within the City”.

File #:23-228 Agenda Date:3/22/2023
Version:1 Item #:14.
On January 10,2023,the City Manager issued a second proclamation proclaiming the continued existence of a
Local Emergency due to major storm and flooding events,which also reaffirmed the findings,bases and intents
of the January 3,2023 proclamation.Since then,the conditions leading up to said Local Emergency
proclamation continue to remain.Thus,it is recommended that the City Council ratify the City Manager’s
proclamation of a Local Emergency.
On January 11,2023,the City Council ratified the City Manager’s proclamation of local emergency via
resolution.Once ratified,the Local Emergency will remain in effect until terminated by the City Council.In
accordance with Government Code section 8630,the City Council will review the proclamation of local
emergency within sixty (60)days from this ratification and would terminate the local emergency at the earliest
possible date that conditions warrant.Additionally,consistent with Public Contract Code section 22050(c)(2),
the City Council must review the emergency action related to contracting at every regularly scheduled meeting
until the action is terminated, to determine, by a four-fifths vote, that there is a need to continue the action.
At this time,the circumstances present in South San Francisco continues to support the existence of a local
emergency due to major storm events.The recent atmospheric storms on March 13 and 14,2023 continue to
create additional emergency conditions requiring immediate City response and attention.The City continues to
respond to various facility damages,taking preventive and remedial measures regarding current and anticipated
impacts of severe storms,conducting damages assessment,and take other emergency actions.In addition,it is
also necessary for the City to retain contractors for emergency work without going through the competitive
bidding process where required.For instance,it was necessary for the contractors Teichert and Interstate
Grading and Paving to clear debris and sediment,repair storm drain backflow protection systems,install
surface draining improvements,procure sand bags and erosion protection materials for City and residents,and
procure and install temporary restrooms at Oyster Point Marina.Such work occurred at various locations in the
City including Rocca Ave and Park Ave near Sign Hill,South Airport Blvd,Utah Ave,De Nardi Way,and Shaw
Road.Additional emergency work continues to be necessary.Pursuant to the local emergency and the authority
under Public Contract Code section 22050,the commencement of such work has been and continue to be
necessary to respond to emergency circumstances that have arisen due to said storm events.
FISCAL IMPACT
The declaration of a Local Emergency itself has no direct fiscal impact but would ensure the City’s ability to
receive mutual aid,enter into necessary contracts,secure available federal,state and regional assistance
funding, and able to appropriately direct resources in response to the local emergency.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
This action is related Priority Area 3.0,Public Safety,under the goal of disaster response and crisis
communication.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution continuing to declare and ratify the existence of a
local emergency,initially proclaimed by the City Manager in her capacity as the Director of Emergency
Services, relating to major storm and flooding events.

Report regarding approval of a resolution providing a letter of support for the San Mateo County Transit
District (SamTrans)Emission Zero:North Base Transformation project.(Christina Fernandez,Chief
Sustainability Officer)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign a letter of
support for the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans)Emission Zero:North Base
Transformation project.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City Manager and Chief Sustainability Officer met with SamTrans representatives regarding the Emission
Zero:North Base Transformation Project to better understand the program scope,regulations,fleet
performance,and potential impacts to the North Base fleet and maintenance yard,located off at 301 N.Access
Road in South San Francisco.This project aligns with the City’s Climate Action Planning goals in seeking the
purchase of additional zero emission vehicles with little to no impacts to existing uses at this site.
The Emission Zero:North Base Transformation project demonstrates SamTrans’commitment to reducing the
impacts of transportation on air quality and climate locally,regionally,and nationally.Additionally,the project
accelerates SamTrans’compliance to transition its fleet to a 100%zero emissions fleet ahead of the state 2040
mandate.Funding from the Low or No Emission Grant Program and the Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities
Competitive Program will replace 95 diesel buses with 95 hydrogen fuel cell electric buses (FCEB)and
construct a new hydrogen fueling station to enable the operation of the new zero emissions fleet.As SamTrans
provides public transportation services to a 455 square-mile area with a population of approximately 771,410,
implementation of Emission Zero:North Base Transformation project will have a significant impact in
achieving major reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and combating climate change.
Based on the presentation provided to City staff,staff is recommending Council provide a letter supporting
SamTrans’ efforts to pursue grant funding for Low or No Emission grants.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Support of SamTrans Emission Zero:North Base Transformation project aligns with the City’s strategic
planning goals of building and maintaining a sustainable city.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign a letter of support
for the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) Emission Zero: North Base Transformation project.

Low-No/Bus Grant Program Manager

Washington, DC 20590
Subject: SamTrans’s Submission to FTA’s FY 2023 Low or No Emission Grant Program and the
Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Competitive Program
Dear Ms. Veltri:
On behalf of the <Organization>, I am writing to express my support for the San Mateo County
Transit District (SamTrans) Emission Zero: North Base Transformation project submitted in
response to the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Fiscal Year 2023 Low or No Emission
Grant Program and the Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities competitive grant program.
The Emission Zero: North Base Transformation project demonstrates SamTrans’ commitment
to reducing the impacts of transportation on air quality and climate locally, regionally, and
nationally. Additionally, the project accelerates SamTrans’ compliance to transition its fleet to
a 100% zero emissions fleet ahead of the state 2040 mandate. Funding from the Low or No
Emission Grant Program and the Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Competitive Program will
replace 95 diesel buses with 95 hydrogen fuel cell electric buses (FCEB) and construct a new
hydrogen fueling station to enable the operation of the new zero emissions fleet. As SamTrans
provides public transportation services to a 455 square-mile area with a population of
approximately 771,410, implementation of Emission Zero: North Base Transformation project
will have a significant impact in achieving major reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
and combating climate change.
<Few sentences about supporting organization and why they are interested in/support this
project>.
SamTrans’ project is an exciting opportunity for our community and we look forward to the
addition of 95 FCEBs and a large hydrogen refueling station to their operations. This project will
accelerate the establishment of critical hydrogen infrastructure in the most economic and
efficient way, support the roadmap to a national clean hydrogen network, and help us achieve
our goals of major reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and combating climate
change. Combined with the reduction of other emissions such as diesel particulate matter, this
project will improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
242
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this project. I fully support SamTrans in their
efforts and look forward to the implementation of this project and the benefits it will bring to
our community.
Sincerely,
243

Report regarding an ordinance amending Section 2.56.050 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code to
change the regular time for the Planning Commission from 7:00 P.M.to 6:00 P.M.(Adena Friedman,Principal
Planner and Tony Rozzi, Chief Planner)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council waive reading and introduce an ordinance amending Section
2.56.050 (Planning Commission Meetings)of the South San Francisco Municipal Code to change the
regular meeting time of the Planning Commission.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Currently,the Municipal Code states that the Planning Commission meetings on the first and third Thursdays of
the month, at 7:00 PM.
The Planning Commission often has agendas containing multiple complex projects,each of which require
significant time for presentations,public comment,and Commission questions and deliberation.Planning
Commission meetings can often last for several hours,ending late at night.City Council meetings,and the
majority of other City board and commission meetings start at 6:00 P.M.,if not earlier.At its February 18,2023
meeting,the Planning Commission discussed the merits of changing the regular meeting time from 7:00 PM to
6:00 P.M., and was supportive of this change. The draft meeting minutes are attached to this Staff Report.
Beginning in March,2023,Planning Commission meetings will be held in a hybrid format,allowing members
of the public to join in-person or remotely.Additionally,members of the public are able to submit comments
via email, mail, and phone in advance of meetings, ensuring multiple methods for public comment.
Changing the start time of the Planning Commission would require that the City Council amend Section
2.56.050 of the Municipal Code (Exhibit A to the Associated Ordinance).
FISCAL IMPACT
Amending the municipal code to change the start time of regular Planning Commission meetings will have no
fiscal impact to the City.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The proposed Municipal Code amendment helps achieve the following priority of the City’s Strategic Plan:
Priority #6: Community Connections.

File #:23-156 Agenda Date:3/22/2023

CONCLUSION
The proposed change to the Municipal Code will allow the Planning Commission to hold regular meetings at a
start time of 6:00 P.M.,rather than the current start time of 7:00 P.M.This change will be consistent with the
6:00 P.M.start time of City Council meetings,and will allow for longer agendas while minimizing meetings
that go late into the evening.Staff recommends that the City Council waive reading and introduce an ordinance
to amend Section 2.56.050 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code.

handle all public property discussions. Concerns for MSB building will be best
addressed at a future City Council hearing, when appropriate.
• Fionnola Villamejor - Thanked Chief Planner Rozzi for this guidance. Noted the public
doesn’t feel as though their concerns are being addressed. Questioned the rezoning of
this building, the public was not aware of this change nor the MSB building being on the

Report regarding an ordinance to amend Title 15 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code to adopt a reach code for
all-electric nonresidential new construction and enhanced electric vehicle charging infrastructure.(Christina Fernandez,
Chief Sustainability Officer; Phillip Perry, Chief Building Official; Leila Silver, Integrative Designs 360)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council waive reading and introduce an ordinance amending the 2022 California
Green Building Standards Code to 1)require newly constructed nonresidential buildings to be all-electric,with
limited exceptions and 2)establish electric vehicle (EV)charging infrastructure requirements for new residential
and non-residential construction that are more stringent than statewide standards.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of South San Francisco (the City)is committed and uniquely positioned to become a regional climate leader and
has taken the initiative to update its original 2014 Climate Action Plan (CAP)to align with new State regulations and
targets to combat climate change.The City intends to remain a leader in sustainability by implementing policies,
incentives,educational programs,and new technology that further decarbonization efforts.The CAP update sets targets to
achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 which aligns with the States targets and exceeds goals set by the original 2014 CAP.
The CAP also outlines the City’s commitment to equitably mitigate and address the impacts of climate change,while
realizing the co-benefits of climate mitigation actions that help create a sustainable community.In 2016,the City joined
Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE),a public,locally controlled electricity provider,that provides the City with access to
carbon free electricity generated 100% by renewable sources.
As a strategy to support the CAP,on June 9,2021,City Council adopted the City’s first local building electrification reach
code that required all new appliances in single-family and multi-family buildings to be electric (all-electric required).
Additionally,new single-family and multi-family buildings were subject to increased electric vehicle (EV)charging
requirements.The local amendments impacted residential projects that submitted for building permit under the 2019 code
cycle and exempted all new nonresidential construction.
In October 2022, City staff provided an update to Council on the additional outreach conducted to the local business and
development community regarding building electrification and EV reach codes. During the study session, staff also
presented the potential building electrification and EV reach code options available for local adoption under the 2022
building code cycle. Staff requested direction from Council on the preferred reach code options related to building
electrification and EV charging stations for new construction. On March 16, 2023, staff also presented the proposed reach
code policy during a Planning Commission meeting for feedback on the policy components and proposed exemptions.
The comments from the meeting are highlighted in the discussion below.
Per the direction of City Council,staff has included the following in the proposed ordinance amending 2022 California
Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen,Title 24,Part 6):1)all-electric requirements for all new nonresidential
construction (with limited exemptions)and 2)enhanced EV charging infrastructure requirements for new single-family,
multi-family,and nonresidential buildings using the PCE model code.Based on Council direction,staff focused the newly
proposed reach code requirements on new construction only.Staff will return to Council at a later date to explore
incentives, rebates, and potential reach code mandates for existing buildings.
The staff presentation during the October 26,2022,study session provided an overview of recent national and statewide

The staff presentation during the October 26,2022,study session provided an overview of recent national and statewide
developments impacting local jurisdictions’decisions to adopt reach code policies,as well as a background on California
reach codes,the environmental,health,and economic benefits of electrification,and the different reach code policy
options for new construction.Staff also shared an update on the additional feedback received from the business and
development community during the second phase of the stakeholder engagement efforts conducted throughout 2022.
The discussion below summarizes feedback given by the Council during the October 2022 study session,high-level
findings from the additional stakeholder outreach,as well as the proposed all-electric and EV charging policy components
that amend the 2022 CALGreen Code based on the PCE model code language.
National and Regional Legislative Context
Recent national and state legislation have shifted the role of governments in climate change mitigation and GHG emission
reduction efforts.The State of California remains a national leader on climate action and continues to establish legislative
and regulatory frameworks to support climate change driven policies.Key statewide elements to note include the
following:
·SB 32 (2016)established a statewide greenhouse gas (GHG)emission reduction target of 40%below 1990 levels
by 2030.
·EO B-55-18 (2018) set a target of statewide carbon neutrality by 2045.
·SB 100 (2018) requires that 100% of all electricity within the state to be carbon-free by 2040.
·EO N-29-20 (2020) requires the elimination of new, internal combustion passenger vehicles by 2035.
·CPUC Decision 19-01-011 (2022)eliminated subsidies that incentivize gas lines to new buildings starting July 1,
2023.
·CARB SIP Strategy (2022)sets zero-emission standard for space and water heaters by and bans the sale of gas
heaters, furnaces, and water heaters by 2030.
At the federal level,on August 16,2022,President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act dedicating significant
funding to combat climate change.Example of the criteria within the Inflation Reduction Act include rebates and tax
credits for efficient appliances and home upgrades,tax credits for rooftop solar systems,and tax credits for electric
vehicles.It also invests in technologies like solar,wind,and clean hydrogen,with provisions that encourage domestic
sourcing of materials.The law is projected to yield significant reductions to GHG emissions,with independent and
official government projections agreeing it will reduce about one billion metric tons of annual emissions in 2030,with
total annual emissions reaching about a 40 percent drop below 2005 levels in the year 2030.
Reach Code Adoption Process
The State of California adopts new building standards,organized in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations,also
referred to the California Building Standards Code,every three years.The triennial timeframe is known as a code cycle,
and the current code cycle (2022 code)went into effect on January 1,2023.Local jurisdictions may adopt local reach
codes that go beyond the minimum state requirements by amending the CALGreen Code (Title 24,Part 11),Energy Code
(Title 24, Part 6), or the municipal Health and Safety Code.
Local amendments that mandate energy efficiency or conservation measures,such as a higher performance standard or
battery storage,require California Energy Commission (CEC)approval,and must be supported by a cost-effectiveness
study and filed as an amendment to the Energy Code (Title 24,Part 6).Local amendments that do not require efficiency
or conservation,such as requiring electric-only construction or electric vehicle charging stations,can amend the
CALGreen Code (Title 24,Part 11)and do not require CEC approval or cost-effectiveness analyses.However,cost-
effectiveness analyses can demonstrate to the community that amendments to the code are financially responsible and do
not represent an unreasonable burden to the residential and nonresidential building owners and occupants.

Building Electrification Reach Codes
Staff researched the opportunities and limitations of the potential reach code policy options that prioritize electric end
uses over natural gas or require enhanced efficiency above the statewide Energy Code.The following options were
presented to Council for consideration for a nonresidential reach code:
·OPTION 1 - Efficiency: All new construction exceeds minimum energy code (via Energy Code, Title 24, Part 6).
·OPTION 2 -All-Electric Preferred:Allows mixed-fuel buildings with high energy performance,requiring
additional energy efficiency measures,battery storage,and/or pre-wiring for buildings to be electric-ready (via
Energy Code, Title 24 Part 6).
·OPTION 3 - All-Electric Required: Appliances must be electric (via Green Building Code, Title 24 Part 11).
·OPTION 4 - All-Electric Municipal Ordinance: No gas hookup allowed (via municipal ordinance).
·OPTION 5-Electric Only Plus Efficiency:All new construction is electric only and exceeds minimum energy
code (via Green Building Code, Title 24 Part 11 and Energy Code, Title 24 Part 6).
Staff considered the benefits and challenges of each available adoption mechanism during the development process and
shared these findings with Council during the October 2022 study session.Ultimately,the decision to proceed with the
electric only amendment via the CALGreen Code (Option 3)provides the City with opportunity to establish electric only
requirements for nonresidential new construction without triggering the CEC review process,which can add months to
the enforcement timeline.The CALGreen amendment allows the City to file for approval directly with the Building
Standards Commission (BSC)and provides the opportunity to house the electrification and EV charging requirements in
one green building reach code ordinance (e.g.,one chapter of the municipal code).The City’s 2019 residential all-electric
requirements adopted under the California Energy Code (Title 24,Part 6)carried over to the 2022 code cycle and was
adopted by Council on December 14, 2022.
The 2022 California Energy Code already requires solar PV,battery storage readiness electric-readiness provisions for
new residential buildings and prescriptive solar PV and battery storage for new nonresidential buildings.
Electric Vehicle Charging Reach Codes
Residents are showing a significant interest in electric vehicles.The number of registered plug-in vehicles in San Mateo,
Santa Clara,and Alameda counties increased 30%from 2019 to 2021.In that same time frame,the total number of
registered gas combustion vehicles in these counties shrank by 4%.In San Mateo County,1 in 4 personal new vehicles
purchases was an EV in 2021.
It is widely known that availability of EV charging infrastructure is a critical component to EV adoption.Meanwhile,it is
significantly more expensive to install charging infrastructure as a retrofit than it is during new construction.As such,
ensuring that newly constructed residential and non-residential parking has ample EV charging capability will reduce
long-term retrofit costs of EV infrastructure installation,while helping to increase EV adoption and decrease
transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions.
Council approved enhanced EV charging infrastructure requirements for new single-family and multi-family buildings
during the 2019 code cycle.Staff presented the new 2022 EV reach code provisions for Council’s consideration during
the previous study session.The proposed requirements are based on the PCE model EV reach code and enhances charging
accessibility while meeting driver needs, minimizing costs, and allowing for limited exceptions.
Electric Vehicle (EV) charging requirements in California can generally be broken into three categories:
·EV Charging Station:All supply equipment is installed at a parking space,such that an EV can charge without
additional equipment.
·EV Ready:Parking space is provided with all power supply and associated outlet,such that a driver-provided

supply equipment can be plugged in, and a vehicle can charge.
·EV Capable:Conduit is installed to the parking space and building electrical panel and transformers have
reserved capacity to serve future load.An electrician would be required to complete the circuit and/or increase the
gauge of upstream wiring before charging is possible.
EV charging capacity can be summarized as three categories:
·Level 1: Capable of charging at 110/120V,16A. This is equivalent to a standard home outlet.
·Level 2:Installation of a 208/240V,40A circuit or 208/240V,20A circuit for low power.This is the service
capacity typically used for larger appliance loads in homes.
·Level 3 (DC Fast Charging):Capable of charging at 20-400kW.This is the type of charger used for Tesla
Superchargers and DC Fast Chargers at some supermarkets.
The 2022 California Green Building Code update (Title 24,Part 11)increased requirements for electric vehicle charging
infrastructure in new construction; including:
·New one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses with attached private garages: must be Level 2 EV-capable.
·Multi-family dwellings:
o 5% must be Level 2 EV Charging Stations
o 25% must be Low Power Level 2 EV Ready, and
o 10% of parking spaces must be Level 2 EV Capable.
·Non-residential:
o 5% must have Level 2 EV Charging Stations, and
o 15% of parking spaces must be Level 2 EV Capable.
The proposed EV reach code requirements go above the State’s EV requirements for new construction.
Community and Stakeholder Feedback
Over the course of two years, staff conducted extensive community and stakeholder outreach to inform the policy
direction and limited exemptions to incorporate into the proposed reach code policy. Detailed summaries of local
stakeholder and business owner comments of building electrification and EV charging infrastructure can be referenced in
Staff Report 21-791 <https://ci-ssf-ca.legistar.com/ViewReport.ashx?

AE7F3FEF943F&Title=Legislation+Text>.
As a result of the feedback from the business and development community, staff heard the following preferences for a
potential all-electric and EV reach code policy:
·The first iteration of nonresidential all-electric codes should apply to new construction only.
·Provide a “grace period” or exception for projects that received entitlement prior to the ordinance effective date.
·Rollout requirements under the 2022 building code cycle (effective January 1, 2023).
·Validation of energy infrastructure and capacity due to grid reliability concerns,consider backup power
exemptions.
·Remain business friendly to the biotech lab/medical/restaurant community via exemptions.
Planning Commission Meeting and Public Comments
During the Planning Commission meeting on March 16, 2023, staff presented the proposed all-electric policy components
for nonresidential new construction and the proposed electric vehicle charging infrastructure requirements for all new
residential and nonresidential construction. One of the main concerns brought up by the commissioners related to

extending exemptions for future or unknown tenant spaces in a new nonresidential buildings, as the needs of the future
tenant space may not be known when the new nonresidential building (core and shell building) is constructed. During the
public comment period, a few members of the community expressed the following feedback on the proposed reach code
policy.
One member of the community expressed support for the all-electric reach code requirements for nonresidential new
construction. They also requested that the trigger be extended to impact qualifying alteration projects, similar to the
current residential reach code policy. Staff evaluated the trigger for alterations during the policy development process and
determined that a 50% alteration scenario is not likely to occur based on historical building permit data. The Building
Department typically receives building permit applications for new nonresidential construction or tenant improvements
(TIs). The member of the community also requested that staff remove the exemptions specific for labs, medical uses, and
industrial processes.
A member from the biotech community expressed the need for industry specific exemptions for laboratory and medical
uses. The community member commented on the need for 24-hour power to support research and lab efforts for the
biotech and medical community. They also expressed concern over power outages and the capacity of the grid to handle
additional loads from all-electric new construction. The community member strongly advised the City to consider
keeping the exemptions in the proposed policy or expanding on the exemptions for the biotech and medical occupancy
types.
One community member also showed favor for the exemptions related to life science and medical buildings. The
community member mentioned that many biotech industries in the City rely on steam generated by gas to continue their
operations. Due to the nature of the biotech development, the community member also suggested that the City allow for
the gas infrastructure to be stubbed to the street, so a future connection could be made in the event that natural gas is
needed for operations.
Another community member who spoke at the Planning Commission meeting suggested that the City continue to support
and protect the life science industry as it plays a big role in the local economy. The community member asked that staff
consider ways to no undermine the biotech and medical sector by allowing for exemptions to these occupancy types. The
community member also asked that staff continue conversations with the local biotech and life science community to
continue to inform the reach code policy development efforts.
Proposed Policy Components
The proposed reach code ordinance requires all-electric new buildings and enhanced EV charging infrastructure via local
amendment to the 2022 CALGreen Code and amends Title 15 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code.The proposed
requirements would be triggered on building permit application for new construction.The policy components of the
ordinance are described below.The proposed ordinance accompanying this staff report sets the Reach Code requirements
in full detail.
Policy Component #1: Building Electrification for Nonresidential New Construction
The residential all-electric provisions carried over from the 2019 reach code will continue to impact all newly constructed
residential buildings and alterations that include replacement or addition of over 50 percent of the existing foundation for
purposes other than a repair or reinforcement as defined in California Existing Building Code Section 202;or where over
50 percent of the existing framing above the sill plate is removed or replaced for purposes other than repair.The main
change is to the mechanism for adoption.The 2019 reach code amended the Energy Code (Title 24,Part 6).To align with
the latest decision from the CEC regarding energy conservation and efficiency standards only require CEC approval,the
previous requirements have been organized as an amendment to the CALGreen Code (Title 24, Part 11).
Staff is proposing to remove the previous exemption for nonresidential buildings and include all-electric requirements for

Version:1 Item #:17.
Staff is proposing to remove the previous exemption for nonresidential buildings and include all-electric requirements for
new nonresidential buildings.The 50/50 alterations rule will continue to impact residential buildings only.The ordinance
recommends that newly constructed nonresidential buildings be designed and constructed as all-electric,with limited
exemptions as described below.
The proposed ordinance includes limited exemptions for buildings subject to the full electrification requirements.Staff
presented potential reach code exemptions during the October 2022 study session based on previous development efforts
and the additional stakeholder feedback received in 2022. The proposed ordinance includes the following exemptions.
EXEMPTIONS:
·Specialized equipment for Industrial processes, laboratories, and medical uses.
·Commercial Food Heat-Processing Equipment.
·Back-up power for Critical Facilities necessary to protect public health or safety in the event of an electric grid
outage.
·Nonresidential building projects that receive valid entitlements from the City of South San Francisco within six
(6) months of the effective date of the proposed ordinance.
·If there is not an all-electric prescriptive pathway for a building under the state Energy Code,and the building is
unable to achieve the Energy Code’s performance compliance pathway using commercially available technology
and an approved calculation method, then the building official may grant a modification.
It is common practice to include electric-readiness requirements for projects that receive approval to install combustion
equipment (equipment or appliance that uses fuel gas).The proposed ordinance suggests language that requires electrical
infrastructure and physical space to accommodate future installation of any electrical heating appliance that receives
approval for an exemption by the Community Development Director or designee.The proposed ordinance also specifies
when fuel gas infrastructure no longer serves one of the exemptions outlined above,that the fuel gas infrastructure must
be capped (otherwise terminated or removed)by the entity previously entitled to the exception.The intent of this
language is to ensure that the lifecycle for approved fuel gas infrastructure applies only to the end use associated with the
approved building permit and is not utilized for other end uses in the future.
Policy Component #2: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure for New Construction
The reach code ordinance also includes increased electric vehicle (EV)charging infrastructure requirements beyond 2022
CALGreen standards.
To evaluate the financial impact on first costs,Peninsula Clean Energy commissioned an analysis of the total cost of
implementing various EV infrastructure measures.Staff have worked closely with PCE to establish new construction EV
requirements which are more in-line with local EV adoption trends,while providing flexibility for the builder and
keeping construction costs as low as possible.
The recommended requirements for EV infrastructure include:
New Single-Family Dwelling:
·One dedicated EV ready Level 2 circuit, and
·One dedicated EV ready Level 1 circuit if there is a second parking space.
New Multi-family Dwelling:
·15% of units with parking spaces, Level 2 EV Charging Stations.
·85% of units with parking spaces, Low Power Level 2 EV Ready.
New Nonresidential Office Building:
·20 % of the parking spaces, Level 2 EV Charging Stations installed.

File #:22-993 Agenda Date:3/22/2023
Version:1 Item #:17.
·30% of the parking spaces, Level 2 EV Capable.
New Hotel and Motel Building:
·5% of the parking spaces, Level 2 EV Charging Stations installed.
·25% of the parking spaces, Low Power Level 2 EV Ready.
·10% of the parking spaces, Level 2 EV Capable.
Other New Nonresidential Building:
·10% of the parking spaces, Level 2 EV Charging Stations installed.
·10% of the parking spaces, Level 2 EV Capable.
The proposed EV reach code provisions outline specific exemptions for new buildings.The exemptions are based on the
current 2022 CALGreen Code exemptions for EV charging,the PCE EV Model Code,and Council direction during the
previous study session.The exemptions extend to 1)when the local enforcing agency has determined EV charging
infrastructure is not feasible (i.e.,utility unable to supply adequate power),2)Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)and
Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU)without additional parking facilities and without electrical panel upgrade or
new panel installation,3)multi-family residential R-2 building projects with approved entitlements within six (6)months
of the effective date of the proposed ordinance,4)parking spaces accessible only by automated mechanical car parking
systems are not required to comply with this code section and 5)nonresidential construction projects that receive valid
entitlements within six (6)months of the proposed ordinance.The EV reach code requirements also align with the
statewide code by allowing Automatic Load Management Systems (ALMS)to be permitted to reduce load when multiple
vehicles are charging.
Incentives and Rebates to Support the Proposed Policy
The largest concern about the reach code proposals was related to what the overall cost burden it may pose on the
community.Councilmembers expressed concerns for community members that would be unable to afford the transition to
electric appliances and emphasized the need to increase accessibility and availability of rebates and incentives.Staff
acknowledged the cost burden differences between existing buildings and new construction during the development
process.To alleviate concerns around cost-effectiveness and the current available workforce of contractors who specialize
in electrification,the proposed ordinance focuses on new construction only.All-electric new construction is shown to be
cost-effective in South San Francisco (climate zone 4)based on the Statewide Utility Program’s 2022 cost-effectiveness
analyses.All-electric new construction is shown to be less expensive and cost beneficial for builders and developers
compared to existing buildings.
When considering building electrification, incentives are vital in supporting customers with the transition. PCE and
BayREN have incentives and rebates that directly support the community. As part of the EV Ready program,Peninsula
Clean Energy <https://www.peninsulacleanenergy.com/ev-ready/> offers free technical assistance for EV charging
projects through its program partner, CLEAResult. For eligible properties, CLEAResult will provide project scope and
design, helping to minimize cost and maximizing value. PCE also provides South San Francisco community members
access to the Electrification Technical Assistance Program <https://allelectricdesign.org/> provides extensive free
technical assistance to architects, builders, developers, design engineers, contractors, and energy consultants to learn
about all-electric building technologies and electric vehicle infrastructure. Homeowners, multifamily property owners,
and small and medium businesses can also access rebates through BayREN that provide direct financing for switching gas
appliances to electric (i.e., replacing gas water heater with high-efficiency heat pump water heater). Staff will continue to
collaborate with regional partners to provide incentives that support decarbonization and electrification to the South City
community.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Reach Codes would not have any fiscal impact to the City.The green building amendments parallel the
structure and terms of the State code and as such any incremental plan check and inspection time should be minimal.

Hello council,
I live, and am a student in the South San Francisco. The climate is changing

Dear Council,
I live in SSF and attend SSF highschool. I support reach codes. It is critical that your
generation does everything possible to undo the damage you have caused and continue to
cause. My generation is inheriting the problems you have caused. Vote for reach codes for my
children and your children and grandchildren. What will you say when your grandchildren ask
you “why didn’t you do more?”

Hello Council,
On behalf of the 25 SSF Earth Club members from the Citizens Climate Lobby Student Team in San Mateo County we are in full support of the reach codes tomorrow.
Climate Change is REAL and We Need Bold Action Now-
As students in SSFHS we are constantly moving around campus, going from class to class from 8:30am-3:20pm. We feel the effects of climate change. For example, today
students were soaked in rain and winds were at an all time high. Students stayed in classrooms because of the strong winds pushing us back from going home. Some students
even walk home in this poor weather crisis. The unnatural weather patterns and natural disasters have devastated students, and much of our country: extreme droughts, heat
waves, sea level rise, flooding, unruly wind-- have all already damaged our Bay Area Community. Our generation as well as all future generations, depend on the change we can
make now. We need to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and decarbonize our economy.
REACH Codes are an Issue of Equity-
Our community is constantly affected by the growing brunt of the unpredictable climate change. Citizens of our country should be prioritized and the residents and marginalized
communities should have and build a more sustainable future. There are the less fortunate in the world and in buildings today, we operate/pollute for the next 50=100 years,
maybe more. With this in mind, it is much more cost-effective and efficient to require them to be electric now more than ever, and for them to convert many years down the line.
South San Francisco Should be a Leader with Commercial REACH codes-
Two years ago, SSF led the San Mateo county by passing one of the strongest and effective residential reach codes for new residential construction, unanimously. We CAN finish
the job and include commercial buildings as well, for the benefit of our residents and students.
Please listen to the voices of students trying to persevere our future generations.

I am writing to provide comment for the City of South San Francisco in your consideration
of amendment of the Reach Codes for new commercial building construction.
I live in San Mateo but my daughter and our grandchildren live in South San Francisco and
my wife and I spend a great deal of time in South San Francisco.
In San Mateo we've passed new Reach code regulations to cover new installation in all buildings,
both residential and commercial. I have given public testimony about these issues on two
occasions
to the San Mateo City Council and I'm in regular contact with the government in my role as part
of the San Mateo Climate Action Team.
I would urge the Council in South San Francisco to take note of what many jurisdictions in the
Bay Area have been doing in recent weeks: namely, strengthening codes to provide incentives
for new installation or new buildings, both residential and commercial, to move toward
electricity
instead of fossil gas. This incremental approach was endorsed by us in San Mateo, and it's being
adopted by many others both in California and around the country.
Climate change requires that we rethink our energy use as a society, and the City of South
San Francisco is in a position to exercise leadership here.
I appreciate your willingness to consider this enlightened approach to public policy and I hope
you will amend the Reach Codes in this way.
Sincerely,
Harry R. Moody

Dear Mayor and Council Members, please vote for the staff recommendation to move our
city towards all-electric construction. I believe this ordinance is badly needed, but could and
should go farther.
Please remove the "Specialized equipment" exemption for laboratories. As a chemist for
almost a decade in my former career, I am unaware of any routine laboratory use of natural
gas that can not be replaced with canister gas; if biotechs truly have a need for this that I am
and the scientists I polled are unaware of, they can ask the city for the "all-electric
prescriptive pathway" exemption.
I also believe that if the city is going to require costly EV parking spaces, we should also
require safe and accessible bicycle parking. This will cost a fraction of what EV parking does
with greater carbon emission benefits and will take traffic off our roads to boot.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

Hi, I support the staff recommendation for all-electric nonresidential new construction and
enhanced electric vehicle charging infrastructure. According to the Climate Action Plan,
330
nearly two-thirds of South San Francisco's greenhouse gas emissions come from
transportation and non-residential natural gas. Two years ago, South San Francisco led the
county by passing one of the strongest residential reach codes for new residential
construction, unanimously. Let's finish the job by including commercial buildings as well. -

Ordinance Amending Chapter 15.22 “Green Building Code” of Title 15 “Buildings and Construction” of the
South San Francisco Municipal Code to Adopt Local “Reach Codes” for Residential and Non-Residential
Developments to Increase Building Efficiency and Increase Requirements Related to Electric Vehicle Charging
Stations.
WHEREAS,most recently in 2022,the City of South San Francisco (“City”)adopted by reference the
2022 California Building Standards Code,including the Green Building Standards Code and Building
Efficiency Energy Standards,and as amended and adopted by the California Building Standards Commission,
pursuant to the requirements of Government Code section 50020 et seq.; and
WHEREAS,pursuant to sections 17922,17958,17958.5 and 17958.7 and 18941.5 of the Health and
Safety Code,the City may make certain amendments to the California Building Standards Code,including
provisions of the Green Building Standards Code and Building Efficiency Energy Standards,based upon
express findings that such changes or modifications are reasonably necessary because of local climatic,
geological or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Green Building Standards Code is a part of the California Building Standards which
improves public health, safety and general welfare by enhancing the design and construction of buildings
through the use of building concepts having a reduced negative impact or positive environmental impact and
encouraging sustainable construction practices; and
WHEREAS,on June 9,2021,the City Council adopted an ordinance amending Title 15 (Buildings and
Construction)of the South San Francisco Municipal Code to adopt certain modifications and additions to the
California Energy Code/Building Energy Efficiency Standards and the California Green Building Standards
Code which serve as “Reach Codes”providing more stringent requirements than State codes and applicable to
residential developments to increase building efficiency and increase requirements related to electric vehicle
charging stations; and
WHEREAS,in October 2022,the City Council conducted a study session during a public meeting
regarding potential building electrification and electric vehicle Reach Codes applicable to non-residential
construction and the additional outreach conducted to the local business and development community regarding
such proposal, and considered various local adoption options presented by City staff; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the foregoing consideration and outreach, and because of the City's unique
local climatic, geologic and topographic conditions, the City Council now desires to amend portions of the
California Green Building Standards Code relating to all-electric buildings and electric vehicles, for residential
and non-residential developments; and

Version:1 Item #:17a.
WHEREAS,these proposed local amendments are to adopt a set of Reach Codes for residential and non
-residential developments to better address local conditions,and establish energy standards that are more
stringent than the statewide standards,based on express findings that such local amendments are reasonably
necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions as set forth in this ordinance; and
WHEREAS,the proposed All-Electric Building Reach Code is intended to require buildings to achieve
increased energy reductions and energy efficiency,and the proposed Electric Vehicle Reach Code is intended to
ensure that new buildings can charge a greater number of electric vehicles beyond state code requirements and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and
WHEREAS,based on the foregoing analyses and as described in the accompanying staff report,the
City Council finds that local amendments to the California Green Building Standards Code contained in this
ordinance are cost effective and will require buildings to be designed to consume no more energy than
permitted by the California Energy Code;
WHEREAS,the City Council finds that each of the amendments,additions and deletions to the
California Green Building Standards Code contained in this ordinance are reasonably necessary because of
local climatic, geological or topographical conditions described in Section 1 below.
NOW THEREFORE,the City Council of the City of South San Francisco does hereby ordain as
follows:
SECTION I.Findings and Determinations
1. The foregoing Recitals and true and correct and are made a part of this ordinance.
2.The following local climatic,geologic and topographic conditions justify modifications to the California
Energy Code/Building Energy Efficiency Standards and the California Green Building Standards Code.
A.The City Council of the City of South San Francisco finds that in order to best protect the
health,safety and welfare of the citizens of the City of South San Francisco,the standards of
building within the City must conform to state law except where local climatic,geological,and
topographic conditions warrant more restrictive regulations.
B.Pursuant to Sections 17958.5 and 17958.7 (a)of the State of California Health and Safety Code,
the governing body of the City of South San Francisco determines and finds that all the proposed
modifications to the California Energy Code/Building Energy Efficiency Standards and the
California Green Building Standards Code are reasonably necessary because of local climatic,
geological and topographic conditions as discussed below.
I.Climatic:The City is located in Climate Zone 3 as established in the 2022 California Energy
Code.Climate Zone 3 incorporates mostly coastal communities from Marin County to southern
Monterey County including San Francisco.The City experiences precipitation averages 18.83
inches/year eighty percent (80%)falls during the months of November through April,and twenty
percent (20%)from May through October.This is a dry period of at least five months each year.
Humidity generally ranges from sixty two percent (62%)during daytime and eighty-six percent
(86%)at night.It occasionally drops lower during the months of September through November.

(86%)at night.It occasionally drops lower during the months of September through November.
Temperatures have been recorded as high as 106 degrees Fahrenheit.Average summer highs are in
the 70-73 degree range.Summer prevailing winds are from the North-West direction.However,
winds are experienced from virtually every direction at one time or another.Velocities are
generally in the 5-10 mph range,gusting to 23 mph,particularly during the summer months.
Extreme winds,up to 50 mph,have been known to occur.These local climatic conditions affect
the acceleration intensity,and size of fires in the community.Times of little or no rainfall,of low
humidity and high temperatures create extremely hazardous conditions,particularly as they relate
to wood shake and shingle roof fires and conflagrations.Climate change is causing historic
draughts,devastating wildfires,torrential storms,extreme heat,property damage,and threats to
human health and food supplies.The State of California has outlined specific steps to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions to prevent these negative impacts of changing climate including moving
the State to 100 percent clean energy by 2045.This gives local governments the opportunity to
achieve greenhouse gas emission reductions with a climate-positive impact by powering buildings
from clean electricity.These climatic conditions along with the greenhouse emissions generated
from structures in both the residential and nonresidential sectors requires exceeding the energy
standards for building construction established in the 2022 California Buildings Standards Code.
The City Council also adopted a Climate Action Plan that has a goal of achieving carbon neutrality
by the year 2045.In order to achieve and maintain this goal,the City needs to adopt policies and
regulations that reduce the use of fossil fuels that contribute to climate change,such as natural gas
in buildings,in new development.Human activities,such as burning natural gas to heat buildings,
releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and causes an overall increase in global average
temperature. This causes sea levels to rise, affecting the City’s shoreline and infrastructure.
II.Geologic:The City of South San Francisco is subject to earthquake hazard caused by its
proximity to San Andreas fault.This fault runs from Hollister,through the Santa Cruz Mountains,
epicenter of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake,then on up the San Francisco Peninsula,then offshore
at Daly City near Mussel Rock.This is the approximate location of the epicenter of the 1906 San
Francisco earthquake.The other fault is Hayward Fault.This fault is about 74 mi long,situated
mainly along the western base of the hills on the east side of San Francisco Bay.Both of these faults
are considered major Northern California earthquake faults which may experience rupture at any
time.Thus,because the City is within a seismic area which includes these earthquake faults,the
modifications and changes cited herein are designed to better limit property damage as a result of
seismic activity and to establish criteria for repair of damaged properties following a local
emergency.
III.Topographic:The City of South San Francisco is made up of open terrain with scattered
obstructions having heights and widths generally less than 30 feet,including flat open country,
grasslands,hillsides and bay exposure.Significant elevation changes are also present in this
setting;highly combustible dry grass,weeds and brush are common in the hilly and open space
areas adjacent to built-up locations six to eight months of each year.When these areas experience
wildland fires,they immediately threaten nearby buildings.This condition is especially significant
in developed areas of the City that interface and intermix with adjoining open space such as Sign
Hill.The threat of wildland fires could be compounded by above-ground electrical power
transmission lines suspended on poles and towers exist throughout the City.Additionally,South
San Francisco’s downtown and surrounding areas contain numerous historic and older buildings
that are located very close together,which exacerbates the fire danger from dry conditions,wind,
and shake/shingle roofs.The topography of the City also challenged by major development
patterns,where major employment areas adjacent to major thoroughfares within the City have

Version:1 Item #:17a.
patterns,where major employment areas adjacent to major thoroughfares within the City have
created added traffic congestion thereby reducing the response time capabilities of the various fire
agencies.The conditions within the City create hazardous conditions for which modifications to
adopt stricter standards than prescribed in the California Green Building Standards Code and
Energy Code are warranted.
3.Amendments to the California Building Standard Codes have been adopted in the past by the City Council
based on specific findings of local geographic,topographic and climatic conditions;and the Council hereby
reaffirms such findings and confirms that the facts on which such findings were based continue to exist.
4.The City Council finds that adoption of this ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act (Public Resources Code §§21000 et seq.,“CEQA,”and 14 Cal.Code Reg.§§15000 et seq.,“CEQA
Guidelines”)under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a
significant effect on the environment,and in this case it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)
(3)).Adoption of the proposed ordinance would not be an activity with potential to cause significant effect on
the environment because the proposed changes made to the California Green Building Standards Code and
Energy Code herein are enacted to provide more protection to the environment,and do not directly facilitate
new development, or changes in the type and intensity of land use.
SECTION II.AMENDMENT OF CODE.Chapter 15.22 [Green Building Standards Code Code]is
hereby repealed and a new Chapter 15.22 is hereby added to read as follows:
A.Section 15.22.020 Amendments to the CALGreen Code.
The California Green Building Code (Cal.Code Regs.Title 24,Part 11)is amended as follows,with
additions in underline and deletions in strikethrough.Chapter,section and table numbers used herein are
those of the California Green Building Code.Sections and subsections not amended are not included below
and shall remain in full force and effect.

Report regarding the status of the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of South San Francisco and
the South San Francisco Unified School District.(Scott Campbell, Chief of Police)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive a report on the status of the Memorandum of
Understanding between the City of South San Francisco and the South San Francisco Unified School
District and provide feedback and direction.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
As described in the SSFPD-SSFUSD Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)pertaining to the School Liaison
Officer (SLO)Program,an annual review will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the program,and
whether the parameters of the MOU are being followed.Pursuant to the MOU,the first annual report was to be
completed in March 2023. Factors included in the annual report include:
1.Success of established program goals and objectives.
2.An appraisal of areas with opportunities for improvement.
3.Aggregated data regarding why the police were called to campus,who called them,demographic data
on the students and other people with whom the police interacted,and outcomes (including arrests,
citations, and other relevant data).
4.A summary of the student arrests and citations by gender, race/ethnicity, and any other relevant data.
I.Achievement of the Goals and Objectives of the SLO Program
A.Protect the constitutional and civil rights of students.
All SSFPD officers are entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the constitutional and civil rights of
all individuals, but particularly the students in our school district.
B.Maintain a safe and secure environment on school campuses which will be conducive to learning.
All SSFPD officers are expected to maintain safe and secure school campuses.Officers receive ongoing
training regarding Active Killer and Critical Incident Responses,Crisis Intervention and De-escalation,
Behavioral Intervention,and Procedural Justice.SLOs receive additional training specific to Cyber
Incidents,Student Threat Assessment and Suicide Prevention,Vulnerability Assessments of School
Facilities, and addressing the needs of students with Disabilities, and Mental Health Issues.
C.Establish a positive working partnership.
SLOs actively seek out opportunities to meet with school site and District administrators,as well as
certificated and classified employees to maintain positive working partnerships that help facilitate theCity of South San Francisco Printed on 3/17/2023Page 1 of 4

Version:1 Item #:18.
certificated and classified employees to maintain positive working partnerships that help facilitate the
effective handling of school incidents that involve the police department.Based on the positive
partnerships that have been developed and maintained,numerous school site and District administrators
consistently reach out to the SLOs for advice and to share information relevant to the safety and wellbeing
of the students and staff.
The SLOs adopted a new uniform that is noticeably different than the uniform worn by patrol officers.The
new uniform consists of a black polo shirt and khaki pants.The utility belt worn the SLOs is made of black
nylon that is designed to be less noticeable.The new uniform gives the SLOs a more relaxed,and
significantly less imposing appearance,while still affording officers the protection and access to safety
equipment they may need.The new uniforms appear to have been well-received by students and school
staff/administrators.
D.SSFPD desires to promote positive attitudes regarding the role of the police in society through non-
punitive,alliance-building interactions with students and staff,and will seek the District’s partnership and
input of District administrators in creating such opportunities.
The SLOs and other SSFPD officers have been called upon to assist with,and participate in,a variety of
school activities over the past year.These events include Red Ribbon Week,Every Kid Deserves a Bike,
Folklorico Dance Show,Halloween Trunk or Treat,and the Ruby Bridges Walk-to-School Day.The fact
that officers have been invited to these events demonstrates the strength of the positive partnerships that
exist between the District and the police department,particularly the SLOs.The presence of officers at
these events appears to have been well-received by the students and their families.In fact,one elementary
school conducted a survey of parents regarding traffic in front of the school,and several responses
requested additional police presence to help ensure the safety of the students and to facilitate the smooth
flow of traffic before and after school hours.
E.Conduct criminal investigations.
The police department has always,and will continue to,conduct criminal investigations involving students
and/or staff whenever necessary and appropriate.The goal of such investigations is to ensure the rights and
well-being of all involved parties are protected using the least restrictive and imposing methods possible.
F.Refer student cases to restorative justice alternatives/programs and court diversion to the greatest extent
possible prior to relying on the court or penal system.
Whenever possible and appropriate (given the nature of the incident),incidents involving students are
handled administratively by the school site or District.The SLOs serve as a resource and allow
administrators to determine the most effective and least restrictive resolution.
G.Ensure that all SSFPD officers understand the needs,strengths,and challenges of various student groups
based on race,ethnicity,national origin,disability,religion,gender,sexual orientation,economic status,
age, cultural group, immigration status, or affiliation with any other similar identifiable group.
All officers,but particularly SLOs,complete ongoing training regarding Bias-Free Policing,Anti-
Discrimination,Behavioral Intervention,Crisis Intervention,Suicide Prevention,and Handling Incidents
Involving Individuals with Disabilities and Mental Illness.The police department does not,nor has it ever,

allowed officers to inquire about an individual’s immigration status for any reason.
II.Aggregated Data for Police Calls on Campus
A.Calls for Service (August to December 2022)
368
Approximately 12%of the calls were initiated by officers.Those were either follow-up investigations,
officer-initiated foot patrols, or officer-initiated Adopt-a-School visits.
The majority of calls were initiated by either District employees,student parents,alarm companies,
passersby, or other non-school-related individuals.
The highest number of calls for service were 911 hang-ups and burglary alarms.The third highest
number were calls,texts,and email requests from school administrators seeking advice or guidance
from the SLOs.
Of the 368 calls for service,the majority came from South San Francisco High School (22.8%),El
Camino High School (14.9%), and Alta Loma Middle School (12.2%).
B.Arrests
No school-related arrests of students or District staff were made during this reporting period.
C.Citations
No school-related citations were issued to students or District staff during this reporting period.
III.Opportunities for Improvement
After the first year of evaluation,no areas in need of improvement have been identified or brought to the
attention of the police department.An internal review of the SLO program shows that the parameters of the
MOU are being strictly adhered to,and that the SLO program continues to be an effective way to address
school-related incidents and maintain positive relationships with our school community.
The MOU allows for the District to conduct an internal survey of school administration,staff,and student
representatives who have had interactions with law enforcement officers on campus.The police department
is unaware of a survey having been conducted but is open and receptive to any feedback such a survey
yields.
IV.Recommendations
After consultation with SSFUSD Administration Staff,it was mutually agreed that the annual MOU report
should be made in September rather than March of each year to capture information more accurately for an
entire school year. This would make the next annual report due in September 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no known fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund.
RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
This MOU meets strategic planning objective 3.0 Public Safety:providing skilled police,emergency service
medical service and emergency management.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results of this report,the police department recommends continuing the School Liaison
Officer Program for another year.The goals and objectives of the MOU have been met,and the program
appears to be well-received by students, District staff, and parents.
The high number of calls for service shows a need for having officers dedicated to our school community.
Arrests were minimal,and the majority of criminal investigations conducted were handled administratively
by the District instead of being referred to the criminal justice system.The SLOs have built and maintained
a positive partnership with the District as evidenced by their invited participation in a number of school
functions and events.In addition,the SLOs have specific and unique training that helps them to better serve
our students while keeping the school environment safe, inclusive, and conducive to learning.
It is recommended that the City Council receive a report on the status of the Memorandum of
Understanding between the City of South San Francisco and the South San Francisco Unified School
District and provide feedback and direction.

Report regarding a resolution to authorize application to and participation in the California Department of
Housing and Community Development Prohousing Designation Program (Adena Friedman,Principal Planner
and Tony Rozzi, Chief Planner)
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to authorize application to and participation
in the California Department of Housing and Community Development Prohousing Designation
Program.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On July 1,2021,the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)established the
Prohousing Designation Program pursuant to California Government Code §65589.9.The Program creates
incentives for cities and counties that are compliant with Housing Element requirements and can demonstrate
that they have enacted,or plan to enact,Prohousing policies in four category areas:Favorable Zoning and Land
Use,Accelerating Production Timeframes,Reducing Construction and Development Costs,and Providing
Financial Subsidies.Jurisdictions who are awarded a Prohousing Designation will receive a competitive
advantage for critical state affordable housing and infrastructure grant programs,including the Prohousing
Incentive Pilot Program,Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program,Transformative Climate
Communities, and the Infill Incentive Grant Program.
Jurisdictions wishing to apply for the Prohousing Designation must complete and submit an application to HCD
which includes documentation of relevant policies and regulations,and a resolution authorizing application to
the Program.Applicants must demonstrate that they have enacted or proposed at least one policy that
significantly contributes to the acceleration of housing production in each of the four categories.A Prohousing
Designation requires a total of 30 points or more across all four categories.
Planning Division staff is currently drafting the application and has determined that South San Francisco will
qualify for at least 30 points and has the required policies and/or programs in each of the four categories,such
as the City’s existing zoning regulations which permit high-density housing proximate to transit,technical
assistance program for accessory dwelling unit (ADU)applications,and planning processes such as streamlined
CEQA analysis and objective design standards.The application scorecard is attached to this staff report listing
all the potential programs with a description of the City’s qualifying programs and relevant document links.If
the City Council chooses to authorize application to the program,Planning Division staff will submit a
completed application to HCD.
Upon submission of the City’s application,HCD will complete a review of the application and will notify the
City in writing within 60 days of its determination.If approved,the City will receive an official letter

City in writing within 60 days of its determination.If approved,the City will receive an official letter
formalizing the Prohousing Designation.
FISCAL IMPACT
Applying for the Prohousing Designation will have no fiscal impact to the City.If awarded the Prohousing
Designation,the City would receive a competitive advantage in certain State grant programs,which would help
accelerate affordable housing production in South San Francisco.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The proposed Municipal Code amendment helps achieve the following priority of the City’s Strategic Plan:
Priority #2: Quality of Life:
·Excellent bike paths, pedestrian ways, and multi-modal transportation options
·Full range of housing options
CONCLUSION
Adopting a resolution to authorize the City to apply for HCD’s Prohousing Designation supports the City’s
efforts to provide a wide range of housing options and upgraded mobility networks,by giving the City a
competitive advantage when applying for several State grant-funded programs.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to authorize application to and participation in the
HCD’s Prohousing Designation Program.

Report regarding a resolution affirming the City’s support for Bridge Housing Corporation’s application to the
Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities (AHSC)Grant program,authorizing the City Manager to
execute an AHSC Implementation and Cooperation Agreement with Bridge Housing Corporation,and
approving Budget Amendment Number 23.057 appropriating $250,000 to acquire an EV sub-compact sweeper.
(Nell Selander, Economic & Community Development Director)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution:
1)Affirming the City’s support for BRIDGE Housing Corporation’s (BRIDGE)application to the
Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities (AHSC)Grant program for the 1051 Mission Affordable
(PUC Project)project requesting up to $50 million of AHSC funds for affordable housing development
and transportation infrastructure improvements;
2)Authorizing the City Manager to execute an AHSC Implementation and Cooperation Agreement with
BRIDGE as required for reimbursement for the City’s Sustainable Transit Infrastructure (STI)and
Transit-Related Amenities (TRA) projects; and
3)Approving Budget Amendment 23.057 appropriating $250,000 for the acquisition of an EV sub-
compact sweeper to service protected bikeways,parking lots,parking garages,plazas,Centennial Trail,
and Bay Trail.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The 158 affordable units being developed by BRIDGE as part of the PUC Project are known for the Affordable
Housing Sustainable Communities (AHSC)grant application as 1051 Mission Affordable.BRIDGE anticipates
beginning construction in mid-2024 after completing their construction financing.Key to assembling the funds
to build this much-needed affordable housing is securing two major State of California Housing and
Community Development Department (HCD)grants:the Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG)and AHSC.The
project was awarded $28.8 million in IIG funds in February 2023 and the AHSC application is the subject of
this staff report.Following award of HCD funds,BRIDGE will apply for low-income housing tax credits to
complete the project’s financing.
The AHSC state grant program is a combined affordable housing and sustainable transportation infrastructure
funding program that aims to support affordable housing units that connect with greenhouse gas-reducing
transportation options for residents.The AHSC program uses State Cap &Trade funding from greenhouse gas-
generating uses throughout the state to fund these pollution-reducing objectives.Applications for Round 7 of

generating uses throughout the state to fund these pollution-reducing objectives.Applications for Round 7 of
the AHSC program are due on April 4, 2023 with an award announcement anticipated late August 2023.
AHSC-Funded City Transportation Improvements
The City’s Planning and Engineering Divisions have been working with BRIDGE and their technical consultant
to identify sustainable transportation infrastructure improvements for which to request AHSC funding.Such
improvements must be within one half mile of the project site and to maximize competitiveness should improve
the safety and convenience of bicyclists and transit riders in the City and support the community’s existing
plans for multi-modal improvements.After careful analysis of existing unfunded projects and in accordance
with the AHSC criteria,City staff has identified the following Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (STI)
and Transportation-Related Amenities (TRA)in BRIDGE’s application for AHSC funding (see Attachment 1
for a map of the identified improvements).
City Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (STI)
If awarded,the AHSC funds -received through an Implementation and Cooperation Agreement with BRIDGE -
will fund $1 million for the installation of approximately 9,000-feet of Class IV (separated and protected)bike
lane along Westborough Boulevard between Camaritas Avenue and Junipero Sierra Boulevard.The bikeway
will run on both sides of the street, with 4,500 linear feet on each side of the road.
Completion of this STI improvement requires obtaining an encroachment permit from the County of San Mateo
to complete the work in their right of way.Upon the City’s request of County staff for the necessary
encroachment permit,the County responded that in order to obtain the encroachment permit,City will agree to
sweep and maintain the bike lane once installed.City staff are currently negotiating an annual payment from
the County for sweeping performed in their right of way.It should be noted that this improvement is also
identified in the County’s bike and pedestrian master plan,as well as the City’s recently adopted Active South
City Plan.
This new protected bike lane,as well as all other Class I and IV separated or protected bike lanes,cannot be
swept with the city’s current fleet of EV sweepers.Staff is requesting approval of a budget amendment to fund
the acquisition of a new EV sub-compact sweeper (Attachment 2).This new equipment is in keeping with the
City’s desire to transition to alternative fueled vehicles and will provide much needed improvements to current
sweeping operations.In addition to currently installed protected bike lanes,the Bike and Pedestrian Master
Plan proposes over thirty-eight miles of protected or separated bike lanes that cannot be swept with current
equipment.Additionally,this smaller sweeper will be used in the City’s parking garages,parking lots,and
plazas.The sweeper includes the ability to vacuum up debris from tree wells and is outfitted with a pressure
washer for use when needed.
City Transportation-Related Amenities (TRA)
If awarded, the AHSC funds would pay $1 million to the following bus bulb-outs and shelters.
1)Installation of five bus shelters:one shelter at the northwest corner and one shelter at the southeast
corner of Grand Avenue and Willow Avenue;one shelter at the northwest corner and one shelter at the

corner of Grand Avenue and Willow Avenue;one shelter at the northwest corner and one shelter at the
southeast corner of Grand Avenue and Chestnut Avenue;and one shelter at the northwest corner of
Grand Avenue and Maple Avenue.
2)Installation of four bus bulb-outs:one bus-bulb at the northwest corner and one bus-bulb at the
southeast corner of Grand Avenue and Willow Avenue,and one bus-bulb at the northwest corner and
one bus-bulb at the southeast corner of Grand Avenue and Chestnut Avenue.
AHSC-Funded Developer Transportation Improvements
In addition to the City transportation improvements discussed above,BRIDGE will take on transportation
improvements included in the scope of the PUC Project and fronting their affordable building.These require
some cooperation from the City in maintaining site control or property owned by the San Francisco Public
Utilities Commission (SFPUC)on which the improvements will be built.Specifically,those improvements
include the following STI elements:
1)Construct new sidewalk and related improvements along a portion of the West side of Mission Road,
from approximately Grand Avenue to Oak Avenue and
2)Construct raised crosswalks located within Mission Road at approximately Grand Avenue and Oak
Avenue, and within Oak Avenue at approximately Mission Road.
The City currently has a permit to do work in this same SFPUC-owned parcel as part of the Library Parks and
Recreation (LPR) project.
AHSC Implementation and Cooperation Agreement
The AHSC Implementation and Cooperation Agreement (Agreement)provides for the event in which BRIDGE
is awarded the grant and the City can receive funds for the identified STI and TRA projects.The Agreement
stipulated that the City will receive $1 million for STI projects and $1 million for TRA projects.Additionally,
cost overruns for the identified projects are to be born by the City.Staff has identified and cost-estimated these
projects conservatively so as to limit the risk that there are cost overruns.
FISCAL IMPACT
Should BRIDGE be awarded the AHSC grant,$2 million would pass through BRIDGE to the City for the
projects identified in this report.While staff do not anticipate cost overruns,any that could not be mitigated
could be borne by other grants (if awarded),or the City’s legacy Bike and Pedestrian Impact Fee or new
Citywide Transportation Impact Fee.
Additionally,there is the fiscal impact to Street Cleaning Fund 100-13440-6008 associated with approving
Budget Amendment Number 23.057 appropriating $250,000 for the mini sweeper.This budget amendment will
transfer the funds from Infrastructure Reserves.While this appropriation is not required today to advance this
grant application,the equipment is already needed to better maintain existing City facilities and there is a

roughly one-year lead time to procure the sweeper.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Supporting affordable housing and alternative modes of transportation is in line with the City’s Strategic Plan
Priority #2:Quality of Life,providing a full range of housing options and providing excellent bike paths,
pedestrian ways, and multi-modal transportation options.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution:
1)Affirming the City’s support for BRIDGE Housing Corporation’s (BRIDGE)application to the
Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities (AHSC)Grant program for the 1051 Mission Affordable
