Report regarding consideration of Design Review and a Minor Use Permit to allow upgrades to two storage
tanks at 470 East Grand Avenue and 455 East Grand Avenue in the Genentech Master Plan District
(GMPD) in accordance to Title 20 of the South San Francisco Municipal
Code and determination that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA.(Adena Friedman, Chief
Planner)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Zoning Administrator approve the Minor Use Permit (MUP23-0004)and
Design Review (DR23-0025)based on the attached Draft Findings and subject to the attached Draft
Conditions of Approval,and determine that the project is categorically exempt under the provisions of
CEQA, Class 3, Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In October,2023,the applicant (Genentech)submitted an application for Design Review and a Minor Use
Permit to upgrade two existing bulk industrial gas tanks,which support operations in two Genentech Research
and Development (R&D)buildings (B41,at 470 E.Grand Avenue and B42,at 455 E.Grand Avenue).The
upgrades include replacing existing tanks with larger tanks,adding new equipment,expanding existing
architectural screening to screen the larger equipment, and landscaping improvements around the storage yards.
The proposed improvements are part of a campus-wide upgrade of the bulk industrial gas tanks to increase the
resiliency of supply by ensuring that tanks have the capacity for one month’s reserve supply.Both proposed
sites are within the Genentech Master Plan District (GMPD)and are subject to the requirements of the
Genentech Master Plan and associated zoning requirements (South San Francisco Municipal Code Chapter
20.260, Genentech Master Plan District).
Project Overview
Genentech has submitted Plan Sets (Attachments 1 and 2)and Narratives (Attachments 3 and 4)for the
proposed gas tank improvements. Following is a brief discussion of each proposal.
B41 New Service Yard Proposal
The B41 service yard is located in the parking lot south of the building,and currently has a horizontal 9,000
gallon bulk storage tank,and ambient vaporizer.Genentech is proposing to add an additional 15,000 gallon
horizontal bulk tank,housed in a new enclosure located at the hillside.The new tank is approximately 11 feet
tall, and 44 feet long.
The existing landscape area will be cut back to allow for hillside excavation,to create a space for a new
horizontal tank yard,with structural retaining walls at the adjacent hillside.The proposed design approach is
intended to minimize the visual impact of the facility and help screen the new enclosure from the surrounding
area.The new pad and enclosure will be constructed to match the materials,texture,and colors of the existing
enclosure and building.
The landscaping improvements are designed to help screen the new enclosure.Seven poplar trees (high-waterCity of South San Francisco Printed on 12/5/2023Page 1 of 3

File #:23-1015 Agenda Date:12/13/2023
Version:1 Item #:1.
The landscaping improvements are designed to help screen the new enclosure.Seven poplar trees (high-water
use)will be removed and will be replaced with seven California buckeye trees (low-water use).Additional
columnar shrubs and sea lavender plants are proposed to help screen the facility.Proposed plant species are
those that are already thriving within the Genentech campus.
B42 Service Yard Expansion
The B42 service yard is located at the northeast side of the building,and currently has a 3,000 gallon vertical
bulk storage tank and ambient vapor serving a range of R&D labs in the building,located within an existing
service yard.Genentech proposes to replace the existing tank with an 11,000 gallon horizontal bulk storage
tank.The new tank is approximately 11 feet tall,and 34 feet long.The project also includes a new 14-ton
vertical bulk tank,located within the existing service yard.The existing service yard will be expanded,both
vertically and horizontally, to accommodate the upgraded facilities.
The expanded service yard and additional landscaping are proposed as visual screening for the new tanks,
specifically to screen views from the Bay Trail,which runs adjacent to the building to the east.The expanded
walled enclosure will be designed with materials and colors to match the existing adjacent enclosure.The
project proposes to supplement the existing plantings surrounding the site with new she-oak trees and Pride of
Madeira shrubs, to screen the view from the Bay Trail.
ZONING CONSISTENCY
The project is located within the Genentech Master Plan District (GMPD),which prescribes planning and
design principles for facility-wide development in accordance with the Genentech Campus Master Plan.
SSFMC Section 20.260.006 (GMPD Administration)requires a Minor Use Permit (MUP)for accessory
structures and above grade utility systems of between 501 and 5,000 square feet (sq.ft.).The proposed new
tank enclosure at B41 will be approximately 1,300 sq.ft.,and the proposed expanded tank enclosure at B42
will be approximately 950 sq. ft., thus both requiring a MUP.
Staff has reviewed the application for the MUP and has determined that it is consistent with the required
findings:
a.The proposed use will not be adverse to the public health,safety or general welfare of the community,
nor be detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements.
The proposed tanks are part of a campus wide project to improve the resiliency of the supply of the gas
tanks,which support Genentech’s R&D operations.They have been designed to meet all required safety
standards and have been reviewed by the relevant City departments (including by the Fire Marshal)to
ensure public health and safety.
b.The use is consistent with the City’s General Plan and any applicable area plan.
The proposed tanks support Genentech’s R&D operations,which is a permitted use by the City’s
General Plan, Genentech Master Plan, and implementing zoning.
c.The proposed use complies with all applicable standards and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed tanks and enclosures,as designed,are consistent with the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance.

Version:1 Item #:1.
d.The use complies with the Genentech Master Plan District’s facility design guidelines.
The proposed tanks and enclosures have been reviewed against the Genentech Master Plan Design
Review Checklist and are found to be consistent.The design of the enclosures and associated
landscaping are focused on implementing a well-integrated and coherent campus environment.
DESIGN REVIEW
The Design Review Board (DRB)reviewed the proposed project at its meeting of November 21,2023.The
DRB supported the project and recommended approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed bulk tanks and associated enclosures are categorically exempt from CEQA,per the provisions of
CEQA Guidelines Class 3,15303,New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures,as they are accessory
structures.
CONCLUSION
The proposed project is consistent with the SSFMC Zoning Regulations for the Genentech Master Plan District,
the Genentech Master Plan,and the General Plan.The project will expand the capacity of the bulk storage tanks
on the Genentech campus,thus supporting the existing and future R&D uses throughout the campus.Staff
recommends that the Zoning Administrator approve the Minor Use Permit (MUP23-0004)and Design Review
Permit (DR23-0025)to allow the upgraded bulk storage tanks at 455 and 470 East Grand Avenue in the
Genentech Master Plan District, and determine that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA.

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
P23-0112: MUP 23-0004, DR23-0025
455 E. Grand Avenue and 470 E. Grand Avenue
(As recommended by City Planning Staff on December 13, 2023)
As required by the Genentech Master Plan District (SSFMC 20.260), the following findings are
made in support of a Minor Use Permit and Design Review to upgrade existing bulk tanks and
expand and construct screening enclosures at 455 E. Grand Avenue and 470 E. Grand Avenue in
the Genentech Master Plan District (GMPD) in accordance with Title 20 of the South San
Francisco Municipal Code (SSFMC), based on materials submitted to the City of South San
Francisco Planning Division which include, but are not limited to: Application materials prepared
by applicant, submitted October 3, 2023; staff report dated December 13, 2023; and Conditions of
Approval.
Minor Use Permit Findings
1. The proposed use will not be adverse to the public health, safety or general welfare of the
community, nor be detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements. The proposed
tanks are part of a campus wide project to improve the resiliency of the supply of the gas
tanks, which support Genentech’s R&D operations. They have been designed to meet all
required safety standards, and have been reviewed by the relevant City departments
(including by the Fire Marshal) to ensure public health and safety.
2. The use is consistent with the City’s General Plan and any applicable area plan. The
proposed tanks support Genentech’s R&D operations, which is a permitted use by the
City’s General Plan, Genentech Master Plan, and implementing zoning.
3. The proposed use complies with all applicable standards and requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance. The proposed tanks and enclosures, as designed, are consistent with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
4. The use complies with the Genentech Master Plan District’s facility design guidelines. The
proposed tanks and enclosures have been reviewed against the Genentech Master Plan
Design Review Checklist, and are found to be consistent. The design of the enclosures and
associated landscaping are focused on implementing a well-integrated and coherent
campus environment.
Design Review Findings
1. The design of the new enclosures and associated landscaping is consistent with the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, as the enclosures and landscaping are designed to
screen the bulk storage tanks from view, and they are compatible with the existing design
of the buildings on the Genentech campus.
30
2. The new bulk storage tanks and enclosures are consistent with the General Plan and the
Genentech Master Plan, as they are an accessory use to a permitted R&D use.
3. The design of the new enclosures and the associated landscaping is consistent with the
Genentech Master Plan’s Facility Design Checklist.
4. The Project, including Design Review, is consistent with the Minor Use Permit that the
project requires for the reasons stated above.
5. The Project is consistent with the applicable design review criteria in South San Francisco
Municipal Code Section 20.480.006 (Design Review Criteria) because the project has been
evaluated by the Design Review Board on November 21, 2023 and found to be consistent
with each of the eight design review criteria included in the “Design Review Criteria”
section of the Ordinance.
