PLANNING COMMISSION, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATED TO SIGN REGULATIONS CITYWIDE
WHEREAS, in July of 2010, the City Council for the City of South San Francisco
(“City”) adopted a comprehensive update to the City’s zoning ordinance, which repealed the
then-existing Title 20 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code (“Zoning Ordinance”), and
replaced it with an entirely new Title that, among other actions, established new zoning districts,
revised and reformatted many then-existing zoning provisions, eliminated inconsistent and
outdated provisions, and codified entirely new zoning provisions, including new land use
regulations and development standards (“Zoning Ordinance Update”); and
WHEREAS, as part of the 2010 Zoning Ordinance Update, the City adopted Chapter
20.360, which regulates signage throughout the City; and
WHEREAS, since adoption of the Zoning Ordinance in July 2010, there have been legal
developments that necessitate that the City refine, clarify, and/or correct certain provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance and other relevant portions of the South San Francisco Municipal Code
(“Municipal Code”) that regulate signage citywide, including revisions to Municipal Code
Chapter 20.360 and Sections 6.90.080, 10.36.178, 20.220.011, 20.230.009, 20.240.012,
20.240.013, 20.340.003, 20.350.023, 20.350.028, 20.350.030, 20.350.034, and 20.450.005 in
order to reflect the current state of the law, as further set forth in the ordinance amendment
(“Amendments”), attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the purpose for the adoption of the sign regulations, pursuant to Zoning
Ordinance Section 20.360.001, is to “establish regulations for the design, construction, location,
and maintenance of signs that balance the need of residents, businesses, visitors, and institutions
for adequate identification, communication, and advertising with the objectives of protecting
public health, safety, and general welfare and promoting a well-maintained and visually
attractive community, consistent with state and federal law;” and
WHEREAS, following the United States Supreme Court’s Reed v. Town of Gilbert,
Arizona decision, portions of the City’s sign regulations are potentially inconsistent with federal
law; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to update the sign regulations citywide so that they are
consistent with federal law and remove any potentially impermissible content-based distinctions
between signs; and
WHEREAS, the City has prepared the Amendments to the Municipal Code, including
refinements to Chapter 20.360 and sections 6.90.080, 10.36.178, 20.220.011, 20.230.009,
20.240.012, 20.240.013, 20.340.003, 20.350.023, 20.350.028, 20.350.030, 20.350.034, and
20.450.005; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance was adopted after preparation, circulation,
consideration, and adoption of an Initial Study/Negative Declaration (“IS/ND”) in accordance
with the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code sections 21000 et seq.
(“CEQA”), which IS/ND analyzed the environmental impacts of adopting the Zoning Ordinance
and concluded that adoption of the Zoning Ordinance could not have a significant effect on the
environment because none of the impacts required to be analyzed under CEQA would exceed
established thresholds of significance; and
WHEREAS, the refinements, clarifications, and/or corrections to the Zoning Ordinance
as they relate to signage are minor in nature, the adoption of which 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 IS/ND prepared and circulated for
the Zoning Ordinance, nor do the refinements, clarifications, and/or corrections constitute a
change in the project or change in circumstances that would require additional environmental
review; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Amendments are not subject to the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed
changes and clarifications may have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no
further environmental review is required at this time; and
WHEREAS, on August 4, 2016 and September 15, 2016, the Planning Commission for
the City of South San Francisco held a lawfully noticed public hearing to solicit public comment
and consider the proposed Amendments, take public testimony, and make a recommendation to
the City Council on the Amendments.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that based on the entirety of the record before
it, which includes without limitation, federal and state law, the California Environmental Quality
Act, Public Resources Code sections 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines, 14
California Code of Regulations sections 15000 et seq.; the South San Francisco General Plan and
General Plan EIR, including all amendments and updates thereto; the South San Francisco
Municipal Code; the Initial Study and Negative Declaration prepared for the Zoning Ordinance

Francisco hereby finds as follows:
SECTION I. FINDINGS
A. General Findings
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this Resolution.
2. The Record for these proceedings, and upon which this Resolution is based,
includes without limitation, federal and state law; the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code §§ 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”)) and the CEQA Guidelines (14 California
Code of Regulations §§ 15000 et seq.); the South San Francisco 1999 General Plan and General
Plan Environmental Impact Report, including all amendments and updates thereto; the South San
Francisco Municipal Code; the Initial Study and Negative Declaration prepared for the Zoning
Ordinance Update, including all written comments received; all reports, minutes, and public
testimony submitted as part of the Planning Commission's duly noticed meeting on August 4,
2016; and any other evidence (within the meaning of Public Resources Code section 21080,
subdivision (e) and section 21082.2).
3. The refinements, clarifications, and/or corrections to the Zoning Ordinance as
they relate to signage are minor in nature, the adoption of which 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 IS/ND prepared and circulated for
the Zoning Ordinance, nor do the refinements, clarifications, and/or corrections constitute a
change in the project or change in circumstances that would require additional environmental
review. Further, the proposed Amendments to the Municipal Code are not subject to the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
that the proposed changes and clarifications may have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, no further environmental review is required at this time.
4. 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 Planning Manager Sailesh Mehra.
B. Zoning Amendment Findings
1. The proposed Amendments are consistent with the adopted General Plan and all
applicable specific plans because they strengthen and promote those policies related to
preserving the character of established neighborhoods (Guiding Policy 2-G-1) and establishing
comprehensive design standards and guidelines (Implementing Policy 2-I-7). The proposed
Amendments related to the regulation of signs will remain consistent with the City’s General
Plan vision for community and economic development and will not impede achievement of any
of the goals, policies, or land use designations established in the General Plan.
2. The proposed Amendments related to signs wound not affect any particular
subject property. The proposed standards would generally be suitable in terms of ensuring
architectural compatibility, consistency with area character, legibility, readability, finish and
visibility, and other considerations deemed relevant by the Planning Commission and City
Council because the Amendments maintain appropriate performance standards for signs and
would be applied to projects on a case-by-case basis to minimize visual impacts.
3. The proposed Amendments related to signs would not result in any change of
zoning districts and therefore would not be detrimental to the use of land in any adjacent zone.
