NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City
of South San Francisco does hereby find that:
A. Proper environmental documentation has been prepared on the proposed Restated
and Amended Development Agreement for Phase II of the Terrabay Development
in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. This finding is
based upon the Planning Commission's independent review of the proposed
Restated and Amended Development Agreement, relevant sections of the 1982
EIR and the 1996 SEIR, and the entire 1998-1999 SEIR, and the finding and
mitigation monitoring program for the SEIR and the Planning Commission’s
determination that these documents satisfy the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
B. The proposed Restated and Amended Development Agreement for Phase II of the
Terrabay Development is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land
uses and programs specified in the General Plan and the amended Terrabay
Specific Plan as recommended to be amended. This finding is based upon the
Planning Commission’s independent review of the General Plan and the proposed
Restated and Amended Development Agreement for Phase II of the Terrabay
Development.
C. The proposed Restated and Amended Development Agreement for Phase II of the
Terrabay Development is compatible with the uses authorized in and the
regulations prescribed for the Terrabay Specific Plan District as recommended to
be amended. This finding is based on the Planning Commission's independent
review of the proposed amendments to the Terrabay Specific Plan District and the
proposed Agreement.
D. The proposed Restated and Amended Development Agreement for Phase II of the
Terrabay Development is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare
and good land use practice. This finding is based on the Planning Commission's
independent determination that the Agreement will finance circulation
improvements, provide needed housing stock, and further implement the long-
term strategy for managing the environmental, aesthetic and recreational
resources of San Bruno Mountain.
E. The proposed Restated and Amended Development Agreement for Phase II of the
Terrabay Development will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare. This finding is based upon the Planning Commission’s independent
review of the proposed Restated and Amended Development Agreement for
Phase II of the Terrabay Development, and the proposed entitlements, including
the CEQA documents described in paragraph A above, which demonstrate: (1)
that any threats to public health or safety from the project have either been
avoided or mitigated to a level of less than significance; and (2) that the
Agreement will finance circulation improvements, provide needed housing stock,
and further implement the long-term strategy for managing the environmental,
aesthetic and recreational resources of San Bruno Mountain.
F. The proposed Restated and Amended Development Agreement for Phase II of the
Terrabay Development will not adversely affect the orderly development of
property or the preservation of property valued. This finding is based upon the
extensive study, planning and analysis, by both City staff and the Applicant's
technical consultants, of the Terrabay project and the proposed entitlements for
Phase II. City staff testified orally at the March 18, 1999 hearing and in the Staff
Report for the hearing that the Agreement would help the City achieve long-term
circulation improvement objectives and would otherwise be consistent with good
planning practice for the proposed Phase II development area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Planning Commission of
the City of South San Francisco does hereby recommend that the City Council of the City of
South San Francisco approve the proposed Restated and Amended Development Agreement for
Phase II of the Terrabay Development, attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by
reference.
