SECTION 1 FINDINGS
I. General Findings
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this Resolution.
2. The Exhibits including Tentative Map attached hereto as Exhibit A and the
Conditions of Approval attached as Exhibit B are incorporated as if set forth fully
herein.
3. The documents and other material constituting the record for these proceedings are
located at the Planning Division for the City of South San Francisco, 315 Maple
Avenue, South San Francisco, CA 94080, and in the custody of Chief Planner,
Sailesh Mehra.
4. The Planning Commission finds that the Tentative Map is in conformity with the
provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and Title 19 of the SSFMC as to design,
drainage, utilities, road improvements and offers of dedication or deed.
II. Chapter 19.48 Findings
1. The proposed Tentative Map, including the proposed designs and improvements, is
consistent with the City’s General Plan and East of 101 Planning Sub-Area because
the Tentative Map would facilitate the development of the larger Oyster Point
Redevelopment Project, which would create a coordinated mixed-use campus
development in the East of 101 Area.
1.
2. The proposed Tentative Map is consistent with the standards and requirements of the
City’s Zoning Ordinance and with the provisions of the Oyster Point Specific Plan
Zoning District.
2.
3. The Tentative Map complies and meets all of the requirements of Title 19 of the
South San Francisco Municipal Code (“Subdivisions”) and with the requirements of
the State Subdivision Map Act.
4. The Project site is physically suitable for the type of development and density
proposed, as the mixed-use campus will be located in the Oyster Point Specific Plan
area which calls for the coordinated development of research and development,
commercial, open space and recreational land uses, and the size of the proposed
development parcels is appropriate for the location and meet’s the City’s land use and
zoning standards.
3.
5. The Tentative Map is consistent with the analysis included in the already certified
EIR, and the approval of this Tentative Map would not result in any new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of any previously
identified effects beyond those disclosed and analyzed in the EIR certified by City
Council (SCH # 2010022070) , nor does the Tentative Map constitute a change in the
Project or change in circumstances that would require additional environmental
review.
6. The design and improvements of the Tentative Map are not in conflict with any
existing public easements.
7. The property is located in a developed, urban setting, and is not subject to a
Williamson Act contract, on open space easement, a conservation easement, or an
agricultural conservation easement. The surrounding land uses and resulting parcels
would not support agricultural uses; the resulting parcels would result in mixed-use
development not incidental to commercial agricultural use of the land.
SECTION 2 DETERMINATION
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City
of South San Francisco hereby makes the findings contained in this Resolution and approves the
Tentative Map, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, subject to the conditions of
approval attached as Exhibit B.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the resolution shall become effective immediately upon its
passage and adoption.
