PLANNING COMMISSION, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN
FRANCISCO RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO AMEND THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
ZONING MAP TO CHANGE THE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF 116 BEACON WAY
FROM PLANNED INDUSTRIAL (P-I) TO PLANNED COMMERCIAL (P-C) ZONE
DISTRICT .
WHEREAS, the South San Francisco Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on April 15, 2004; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds the proposed Zoning Amendment to change
the land use designation of 116 Beacon Way from Planned Industrial (P-I) to Planned
Commercial (P-C) is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element. The site is in an area
that is transitioning from industrial to commercial uses. The project site’s General Plan land use
designation, Business Commercial, allows religious assembly. The project generally complies
with the General Plan goals and policies. However, the site’s present zoning of Planned
Industrial Zoning District (P-I) is inconsistent with the General Plan. The proposed site zoning of
Planned Commercial (P-C) is consistent with the General Plan. The PC District allows the
proposed religious use subject to an approved use Permit by the Planning Commission (SSFMC
Section 20.24.030). Several of the properties along Beacon Street have already transitioned to
commercial uses that would be conforming to the future zoning.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, as required by the Use Permit Procedures
[SSFMC Chapter 20.], the following findings are made in approval of the Zoning Amendment to
change the land use designation of 116 Beacon Way from Planned Industrial (P-I) to Planned
Commercial (P-C)1), subject to making the findings of approval and, based on public testimony
and the materials submitted to the City of South San Francisco Planning Commission which
include, but are not limited to: Plans prepared by Shatara Architecture, dated February 9, 2004;
Facility Closure Report prepared by Erler & Kalinowski, Inc., dated April 28, 2000; Design
Review Board meeting of June 18, 2002; Design Review Board meeting of August 20, 2002;
Design Review Board meeting of February 17, 2004; Design Review Board minutes of June 18,
2002; Design Review Board minutes of August 20, 2002; Design Review Board minutes of
February 17, 2004; Planning Commission staff report, dated March 18, 2004; Planning
Commission staff report, dated April 15, 2004; Planning Commission meeting minutes of March
18, 2004; Planning Commission Staff Report of April 15, 2004; and Planning Commission
meeting of April 15, 2004; and :
1. The proposed rezoning will not be adverse to the public health, safety or general welfare
of the community, or unreasonably detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements.

2. The proposed conversion of the building to religious assembly, situated in the Planned
Commercial Zone District (P-C) adjacent to other commercial and industrial uses, complies with
all applicable standards and requirements of SSFMC Title 20. The SSFMC Chapter 20.24 allows
religious assembly with a Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission. Conditions of
approval are required to ensure compliance with the Zoning requirements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission
hereby recommends that the South San Francisco City Council change the land use designation
of 116 Beacon Way from Planned Industrial (P-I) to Planned Commercial (P-C) and this
Resolution is effective immediately upon its passage and adoption
