10. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall provide appropriate evidence to
ensure that office, research and development, childcare facility and retail spaces are
designed so that the calculated hourly average noise levels during the daytime does not
exceed and Leq of 45dBA, and instantaneous maximum noise levels do not exceed 60 dBA.
11. The applicant shall cooperate with the City in the development/implementation of a regional
shuttle service if such is considered by the City.
12. TDM
a. In accordance with South San Francisco Municipal Code Section 20.120.070, prior to
issuance of a building permit the applicant shall submit a Final TDM Plan for review
and approval by the Chief Planner. The Final TDM Plan shall substantially reflect the
Preliminary TDM plan prepared by Sequoia Solutions. The Plan shall be designed to
achieve a minimum 30% alternative mode use over the life of the project.
b. The Final TDM Plan shall outline the required process for on-going monitoring
including annual surveys and triennual reports as outlined in the Development
Agreement, and as specified below:
1) Transportation Demand Management: Owner shall prepare an annual
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) report, and submit same to City, to
document the effectiveness of the TDM plan in achieving the goal of 30%
alternative mode usage by employees within the Project. The TDM report will be
prepared by an independent consultant, retained by City with the approval of
Owner (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and paid for
by Owner, which consultant will work in concert with Owner’s TDM coordinator.
The TDM report will include a determination of historical employee commute
methods, which information shall be obtained by survey of all employees working
in the buildings on the Property. All nonresponses to the employee commute
survey will be counted as a drive alone trip.
a) TDM Reports: The initial TDM report for each building on the Property will
be submitted two (2) years after the granting of a certificate of occupancy with
respect to the building, and this requirement will apply to all buildings on the
Property except the parking facilities. The second and all later reports with
respect to each building shall be included in an annual comprehensive TDM
report submitted to City covering all of the buildings on the Property which are
submitting their second or later TDM reports.
b) Report Requirements: The goal of the TDM program is to encourage
alternative mode usage, as defined in Chapter 20.120 of the South San
Francisco Municipal Code. The initial TDM report shall either: (1) state that
Conditions Of Approval as recommended by the Planning Commission to City Council
Britannia East Grand PUD/UP/DR-01-006
April 4, 2002
Page 3 of 18
the applicable property has achieved 30% alternative mode usage, providing
supporting statistics and analysis to establish attainment of the goal; or (2) state
that the applicable property has not achieved the 30% alternative mode usage,
providing an explanation of how and why the goal has not been reached, and a
description of additional measures that will be adopted in the coming year to
attain the TDM goal of 30% alternative mode usage.
c) Penalty for Non-Compliance: If after the initial TDM report, subsequent
annual reports indicate that, in spite of the changes in the TDM plan, the 30%
alternative mode usage is still not being achieved, or if Owner fails to submit
such a TDM report at the times described above, City may assess Owner a
penalty in the amount of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) per year for
each percentage point below the minimum 30% alternative mode usage goal.
(1) In determining whether a financial penalty is appropriate, City may
consider whether Owner has made a good faith effort to meet the TDM
goals.
(2) If City determines that Owner has made a good faith effort to meet the
TDM goals but a penalty is still imposed, and such penalty is imposed
within the first three (3) years of the TDM plan (commencing with the
first year in which a penalty could be imposed), such penalty sums, in the
City’s sole discretion, may be used by Owner toward the implementation
of the TDM plan instead of being paid to City. If the penalty is used to
implement the TDM Plan, an Implementation Plan shall be reviewed and
approved by the City prior to expending any penalty funds.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any penalty shall bear the
same relationship to the maximum penalty as the completed construction
to which the penalty applies bears to the maximum amount of square feet
of Office, Commercial, Retail and Research and Development use
permitted to be constructed on the Property. For example, if there is
200,000 square feet of completed construction on the Property included
within the TDM report with respect to which the penalty is imposed, the
penalty would be determined by multiplying Fifteen Thousand Dollars
($15,000.00) times a fraction, the numerator of which is 200,000 square
feet and the denominator of which is the maximum amount of square feet
of construction permitted on the Property, subtracting the square footage
of the parking facilities; this amount would then be multiplied by the
number of percentage points below the 30% alternative mode usage goal.
c. The applicant shall be required to reimburse the City for program costs associated with
monitoring and enforcing the TDM program.

approval of the Planning Commission.
17. To the extent that the area is designated as bay trail and recreation the applicant shall
conduct further investigation to the satisfaction of the Planning Division in the area of
known contamination on the portion of the subject property known as the slough and
remediate any contamination to levels acceptable to DTSC and/or the Regional Water

public street right-of-way, within the applicant’s property, at the east end of East Grand
Avenue as required to accommodate the East Grand Avenue cul-de-sac improvements.
b. As required by City Ordinance and the "Standard Conditions", storm water pollution
control devices and filters (such as "Stormcepter" units, CDS units, grassy swales, or
other approved filter devices, or combination of devices) shall be installed within the
site drainage system to prevent pollutants deposited within the site from entering the
Conditions Of Approval as recommended by the Planning Commission to City Council

San Francisco Bay. Plans for these filters shall be submitted to the Engineering and
Water Quality Control Divisions for review and approval. The applicant shall submit a
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for this site, prior to receiving a
grading or building permit.
c. As required by the Standard Conditions, the applicant shall underground all new and
existing pole-mounted overhead utility wires within the boundaries of the applicant’s
property and within the East Grand Avenue cul-de-sac bulb.
d. In order to assure that the portion of East Grand Avenue, between Haskins Way and the
entry to the subject development, is structurally sound and will be able to accommodate
the project’s traffic loading, the applicant shall retain a consultant to conduct deflection
testing of this portion of East Grand Avenue and submit this report to the City Engineer
for review and approval. The deflection testing will establish the condition of the
existing structural section of the street and whether or not it needs repair, reconstruction
or an asphalt overlay to bring up to current engineering standards. This improvement
will help to mitigate the additional vehicle traffic resulting from the full build-out of the
Britannia East Grand development. The applicant shall submit plans for the
improvement of the street to the City Engineer for review and approval, in accordance
with the results of the testing and analysis of the approved report.
e. In order to facilitate bicycle and pedestrian access to the site, to further the goal of
reducing vehicle trips and parking space requirements for the project, the applicant shall
provide bike path and pedestrian walk improvements along the existing portion of East
Grand Avenue, between Haskins Way and the project’s interior streets. Plans for these
improvements shall be prepared by the applicant’s consultants and submitted to the City
Engineer for review and approval.
f. The applicant shall replace the existing 15” sanitary sewer main that serves this site,
between the boundary of the project site and the City’s pump station at the intersection
of Swift Avenue and Kimball Way, with a new sewer main sized to accommodate the
Britannia East Grand project, existing users and possible future connecting
developments. The existing main is very old, has experienced differential settlement
and can no longer maintain proper sewage flow within the pipe as required to
accommodate the projected sanitary flows from the project. The main will need to be
replaced in conformance with City Standards and in accordance with plans prepared by
the applicant’s civil engineer, as approved by the City Engineer. Replacement of the
main shall be accomplished by the applicant, who will be partially reimbursed by the
City, as provided for in the applicant’s Development Agreement.
g. All off-site public improvements, as described above, shall be constructed in
accordance with plans approved by the City Engineer and to City Standards, at no cost
to the City (except as provided by the Development Agreement) and secured by a bond,

pay the Oyster Point Overpass Fee, the East of 101 Traffic Mitigation Fee and the sewer
capacity study and infrastructure improvement contribution (these fees are discussed in
more detail below), prior to receiving a building permit for new or renovated buildings
constructed within this parcel.
2. FEES
a. Oyster Point Overpass Fee
Prior to receiving a Building Permit for any new building or major renovation or change
of use within the proposed development, the applicant shall pay the Oyster Point
Overpass fee, as determined by the City Engineer, in accordance with City Council
Resolutions 102-96 and 152-96. Based upon the information shown on the above
referenced plan and the March 2002 Engineering News Record San Francisco
Construction Cost Index (7683.68 in the calculation formula below), the fee (which will
have to be updated upon review of the building permit application and will be adjusted
in accordance with the latest Construction Cost Index at the time that the fee is paid), is
estimated as follows:
Trip Calculation
783,533 gsf office/R&D buildings @ 12.3 trips per 1000 gsf = 9637 daily vehicle trips
5,000 gsf fitness center @ 11.7 trips per 1000 gsf = 59 new trips
3,000 gsf delicatessen (high turn-over restaurant) @ 164.4 trips per 1000 gsf = 493 new
trips
5,000 gsf retail use (general commercial) @ 48 trips per 1000 gsf = 240 new trips
Total new average daily vehicle trips at full build-out of the development = 10,429
Less credit for the existing 124,200 gsf Fuller O’Brien manufacturing building
@ 3.99 trips per 1000 gsf = 496 existing trips
Total estimated new trips if the project is built-out as per the Master Site Plan = 9933
