2007, the City Council Staff Report dated April 25, 2007, and the testimony and materials
submitted at the City Council meeting on April 25, 2007;
1. Mitigated Negative Declaration. The City Council adopted a Mitigated Negative
Declaration on July 14, 2004. The Mitigated Negative Declaration determined that the
proposed development would not have any adverse aesthetic impacts. The Planning
Commission has determined that the proposed changes would not create any adverse
impacts. There is no substantial evidence in the light of the whole record before the City that
the changes to the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Modification
of the Residential Planned Unit Development Permit and the associated land use entitlements
therefore complies with the California Environmental Quality Act.
2. Planned Unit Development Permit. As required by the Planned Unit
Development Procedures [SSFMC Chapter 20.84] and Revocation and Modification of
Permits [SSFMC Chapter 20.91], the following findings are made in approval of a
Modification of Residential Planned Unit Development Permit P07-001O, to approve exterior
changes to windows and doors of several dwellings.
A. The 1.4 acre site is physically suitable for the sixteen (16) unit residential
development with common area. The changes to the dwellings are in
keeping with the architectural design of the new dwellings and because the
changes are limited to windows and a few doors the buildings will still be
in conformity with the surrounding residential developments. The City's
Design Review Board recommended approval of the proposed changes.
B. The changes to the dwellings has been reviewed and recommended for
approval by the City's Design Review Board to be in accordance with the
City of South San Francisco Design Guidelines and to provide a high
quality of fit with the neighborhood. The changes will improve the
efficiency of the living space of the affected dwellings and will contribute
to a residential environment of sustained desirability and stability.
C. The changes to the dwellings are in keeping with the General Plan Land
Use designation of Medium Density Residential and the Zoning of
Medium Density Residential Zone District [R-2-H] in that the changes
will not resuh in any dwelling unit density increases.
D. The changes to the dwellings are consistent with the General Plan Land
Use designation of Medium Density Residential and the Housing Element
in that the changes will not result in the reduction of either the market rate
or affordable dwellings associated with the development.
E. The changes. will not be adverse to the public health, safety or general
welfare of the community, or unreasonably detrimental to surrounding
properties or improvements. The changes are designed to comply with the
City Design Guidelines and the architectural theme of the development
and the surrounding residential enclave. Conditions of Approval have been
adopted which will ensure that heating ducts to the garage level storage
room will be removed, that the windows on the mid and upper level of
side facades are aligned, that the chimneys on dwelling model "Type C"
are installed, and that the new retaining walls are subject to the review and
approval by the City's Design Review Board.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE City Council of
the City of South San Francisco does hereby:
1. Approves the Modification of Residential Planned Unit Development Permit
allowing exterior revisions to the dwellings consisting of window and door
changes.
2. Approves the Design Review of the exterior reVISIons to the dwellings
consisting of window and door changes.
