Section 20.61.040 Project Description and Intent.
(a)
The Shearwater project involves the comprehensive redevelopment of a
disused heavy industrial site to a commercial/residential/cultural/recrea-
tional complex. The site comprises approximately fifty-four acres of dry
land and one hundred thirty-three acres of water-covered land.
(b)
The project proposes to retain and enhance the existing inlet as the focus
of the whole complex. A marina is proposed for five hundred thirty-six
20.61 -~,
berths. Grouped around the inlet will be three hundred residential condo-
miniums, a 750-room hotel, a 1,700-seat convention center, a performing-
arts theater, three office buildings~ and shops, restaurants, and cinemas.
Located away from the inlet will be two Iow-rise office buildings and two
large parking garages. This mixture of uses is intended to foster a full-
time "destination" serving as a focal point of public activity with many
opportunities for enjoying the waterfront or gaining access to the Bay, all
within a high-intensity, urban setting, as a contrast to other Bayshore
developments of a Iow-intensity suburban character.
(c)
The whole of the project will be architect-designed in conformity with the
the specific plan herein which integrates the different parts and uses of
the site. The design philosophy is to create buildings of bold, interesting
three-dimensional forms which complement each other and their surround-
ings. Building facades will minimize blank solid walls by the use of ter-
races, balconies, and other features. Finishes will be generally of a light
character with some brightly colored accents to reinforce the lively inten-
sity of activity intended for this "destination." Landscaping will be of an
"urban" character around the inlet, changing progressively to a "soft"
character away from the water. There will be considerable provision for
public seating, outdoor sculptures/fountains/planting and trees throughout
the project.
(d)
The Land Use Element of the South San Francisco General Plan, as adopt-
ed on June 17, 198~, and as amended on 12/11/85 , designates the land
within the Shearwater Specific Plan Use District for planned commercial
mixed-use development. The regulated uses contained in this Specific Plan
are consistent with the General Plan provisions.

(a)
The regulations contained in this Chapter shall apply in the Shearwater
Specific Plan District.
(b)

projects within the Shearwater Specific Plan District or for appeals con-
cerning such approvals or administration of development projects~ the
standards and procedures outlined in Title 20 of the South San Francisco
Municipal Code in effect at the time the issue arises shall be the standards
