testimony and materials submitted at the Planning Commission meeting on April 15, 2004:
1. The proposed rezoning and project are consistent with the General Plan which designates
the site Mixed Industrial.
a. A rezoning of the property from P-C-L Planned Commercial to M-1 Industrial
would bring the zoning of the site into compliance with the General Plan.
b. The Mixed Use land use designation specifically provides for warehousing,
storage and distribution uses, such as the proposed project, up to a maximum FAR
of 0.6.
2. Subject to approval of the rezoning request the proposed warehouse expansion complies
with the provisions of South San Francisco Municipal Code Chapter 20 (Zoning
Ordinance).
a. The proposed warehouse project complies with the use regulations outlined in
South San Francisco Municipal Code Section 20.30.020 (Permitted Uses).
b. The proposed project complies with all general development standards and
criteria of the M-1 Industrial Zone District as contained in South San Francisco
Municipal Code Chapters 20.68 through 20.74.
3. Subject to minor modifications, included as conditions of approval, the proposal complies
with the City's Design Guidelines.
4. The proposed development will not be unreasonably adverse to the public health, safety
or general welfare of the community, nor unreasonably detrimental to the surrounding
properties or improvements. The site has been used continually since the 1960s for
similar types of warehouse use without notable impact on the surrounding properties.
5. An Environmental Impact Report analyzing the impacts of the General Plan update was
prepared and certified by the City Council of South San Francisco on October 13, 1999,
in accordance with the provisions of CEQA. That document adequately analyzed the
impacts of the land use change on the site from Planned Commercial to Mixed Industrial.
The subject warehouse construction is Categorically Exempt under the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act. (Class 3, Section 15303: new construction of
small structures not exceeding 10,000 sf in urbanized areas.)
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
South San Francisco does hereby:
