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
AMEND CHAPTER 20.125, “INCLUSIONARY HOUSING” TO MODIFY
INCOME LIMITS, CLARIFY TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND MAKE
FURTHER ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHINICAL CHANGES.
WHEREAS, the South San Francisco Planning Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing on May 6, 2004; and,
WHEREAS, staff has proposed various amendments to the Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance codified in Chapter 20.125 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code; and,
WHEREAS, the amendments do not permit or otherwise result in construction or
other activity and are merely regulatory in nature; and,
WHEREAS, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”), the proposed amendments are exempt under the “General Rule” [Section
15061(b)(3)] that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential to cause a
significant impact on the environment.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission
hereby recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed amendments to Chapter
20.125, based on the findings set forth in this Resolution and the public testimony and
materials submitted to the City of South San Francisco Planning Commission which
include, but are not limited to: Planning Commission staff report, dated May 6, 2004 and
Planning Commission meeting of May 6, 2004; and,
1. The proposed amendments are consistent with the 1999 General Plan. The
General Plan provides that the City should encourage the development of a wide range of
housing types. The proposed amendments implement this guiding policy by clarifying the
income range, calculation of rents and other administrative items in the ordinance. The
amendment also provide a means by which the City can compel compliance with annual
certification of rental units. As such, the amendments are consistent with the general
Plan and its 2003 Certified Housing Element.
2. The proposed amendments to the zoning code will not be adverse to the public
health, safety or general welfare of the community. The purpose of the amendments is to
promote the general health and welfare of citizens by requiring new construction to
contribute to the supply of affordable housing.
