Planning Commission
Staff Report
DATE:
March 6, 2008
TO:
Planning Commission
SUBJECT:
MODIFICATION OF:
Residential Planned Unit Development Permit and Design Review
allowing the replacement of the exterior siding with different material than
originally approved for 45 dwellings situated on Sunrise and Moonlight
Courts in the Medium Density Residential (R-2-H-P) Zone District, in
accordance with SSFMC Chapters 20.84 and 20.85.
Applicants: Westborough Highlands Homeowners Association
Env. Doc.: Categorical Exemption: Section 15301, Class l(d) Existing
Facilities
Case Nos: P08-0007 [PUD08-0001 & DR08-0004]
[Original Case Nos.: PUD 88-9, SA 88-98 & ND 623]
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council
approve a Modification to a Residential Planned Unit Development Permit and Design
Review allowing the replacement of the exterior siding with different material than
originally approved for 45 dwellings situated on Sunrise and Moonlight Courts, subject to
making the required findings and adopting the conditions of approval.
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION:
The 45 unit residential development was approved by the City Council on June 8, 1988 and
constructed in 1991 to 1995. Weathering and apparently improper flashing and/or installation has
resulted in paint degradation, the failure of the exterior siding and water damage of the substrate
to many, if not all, of the dwellings on Sunrise and Moonlight Courts. A lawsuit by 21 of the 45
dwelling owners has provided funds to replace the exterior siding on their dwellings. A couple of
these dwellings have already had the exterior siding replaced with a better performing man made
material (HardiPlank - fiber cement siding that simulates the appearance of wood siding
manufactured by James Hardie) that is visually different than the original siding. The proposed
modifications to the dwellings include changing the exterior siding from a grooved flat profile to
a "clap board" style, reroofing, repair of water damage including decks and substrate, flashing [to
prevent water infiltration] and the installation of new replacement windows and doors of the
same design and finish as the existing. The finished buildings will be trimmed and painted to
match the existing earth tone color palate.
March 6, 2008
P08-0007 Sunrise and Moonlight Courts
Page 2 of 3
The Westborough Highlands Homeowners Association is requesting that the Planning
Commission approve the new "clap board" style exterior siding for all of the dwellings, including
the 24 owners that did not participate in or benefit by the lawsuit.
To date the replacement of the siding has been complete on 2 dwellings at 27 and 33 Moonlight
Court. The current owners of 5 more dwellings at 17, 21, 25 and 26 Moonlight Court and 1
Sunrise Court are in contract to replace the exterior siding on their residences by the end of this
year. While it is not known when the other 38 dwelling owners will replace the siding, from field
observation it is apparent to City staff that the siding will not last many more years without
requiring major repairs. To assist the review, the applicant has submitted a written narrative, site
plan, photos of the existing buildings and the recently completed re-sided dwellings.
The Commission should determine whether the proposed changes are sympathetic to the
approved building architecture.
While the proposed changes are relatively minor in nature, the cumulative effect of all the
proposed changes will be noticeable, and are therefore, subject to review by the Planning
Commission and City Council as a Modification of the Residential Planned Unit Development
[SSFMC Chapters 20.84 and 20.91]. The City Council's review is required because the final
approval of the original project was made by the Council.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
The plans were reviewed by the Design Review Board at their meeting of February 19,2008. The
Board was supportive of replacement of the exterior siding with clap board and recommended
approval. The Board noted that while the board profiles were distinctive, it would be difficult for
the casual observer to tell the difference between the profiles, except when observed in close
proximity to the buildings, and that the two board patterns could visually coexist together
without being overtly disruptive to the architectural integrity of the development.
To improve the visual appearance and ensure that further exterior changes are consistent with the
development, a condition of approval has been added requiring that the replacement of exterior
siding on the remaining dwellings use "clap board" that matches the proposed HardiPlank board
profile and that the Westborough Highlands Home Owners Association be required to formally
review any proposed exterior change before a building permit is issued by the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed development was determined by City staff to be Categorically Exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act [CEQA] pursuant to Section 15301(d)
Class 1 Existing Facilities. Pursuant to these provisions the project was judged not to have the
potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Because the project is exempt, in
March 6, 2008
P08-0007 Sunrise and Moonlight Courts
Page 3 of 3
accordance with the CEQA, the Planning Commission need take no further action.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDA nON:
The proposed changes comply with the City's Design Review Guidelines and will be compatible
with the original architecture. The City's Design Review Board has reviewed the proposed
exterior siding replacement and recommends approval. Therefore, City staff recommends that the
Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council approve a
Modification to the Residential Planned Unit Development Permit and Design Review allowing
the replacement of the exterior siding with different material than originally approved for 45
dwellings situated on Sunrise and Moonlight Courts, subject to making the required findings and
adopting the conditions of approval.

PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A MODIFICATION OF
A RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR THE
PROPERTIES SITUATED ON SUNRISE AND MOONLIGHT COURTS AND AS
SUBMITTED BY THE WESTBOROUGH HIGHLANDS HOMEOWNERS
ASSOCIATION, SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
WHEREAS, on June 8, 1988, the City Council of the City of South San Francisco
held a properly noticed public hearing and approved a Residential Planned Unit
Development Permit allowing 45 residential dwellings and landscaped common area, a
Tentative Subdivision Map allowing the subdivision of the site into 45 lots and common
area, Design Review of 45 dwellings, a Negative Declaration assessing the environmental
impacts associated with the development, and adopted conditions of approval;
WHEREAS, in January of2008, the Westborough Highlands Homeowners
Association hereafter referred to as the "Applicant", applied to the City to proceed with
exterior revisions to several of the dwellings;
WHEREAS, on March 6, 2008, the Planning Commission held a properly noticed
public hearing to consider the Modification of the Residential Planned Unit Development
Permit and the associated land use entitlements including the revisions to the approved
design of all of the dwellings that are a part of the Project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has determined that the exterior
modifications of the dwellings are consistent with the City's General Plan and all
applicable requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinances; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has determined that the proposed
improvements will require adherence to several conditions of approval attached as
Exhibit #A; and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the
City of South San Francisco hereby adopts the following findings based on the entire
record of the Applicant's design revisions, including the Applicant's plans submitted in
association with the Modification of the Residential Planned Unit Development Permit
and the associated land use entitlements, the Applicant's written narrative for the
dwelling exterior modifications, the South San Francisco General Plan, the proposed
Modification of the Planned Unit Development Permit, the Design Review of the
proposed dwelling changes, the Negative Declaration previously adopted by the City
Council of the City of South San Francisco on June 8, 1988, the South San Francisco
Design Guidelines, the Draft Planned Unit Development Findings, the Planning
Commission Staff Report dated March 6, 2008, and the testimony and materials
submitted at the Planning Commission meeting on March 6, 2008;
1. CEQA. The City Council adopted a Negative Declaration on June 8, 1988 for
the PUD. The Negative Declaration determined that the proposed development would not
have any adverse impacts. The Planning Commission has determined that the proposed
changes to the project are exempt from CEQA as a Class 1 project, repair, maintenance,
and minor alteration of existing structures. The proposed changes qualify as a Class 1
project because they involve negligible or no expansion of the existing use. The proposed
changes would not create any adverse individual or cumulative 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. Residential 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 ofa
Modification of Residential Planned Unit Development Permit PUD08-0008, to approve
replacement of the exterior siding of all of the dwellings.
A. The site is physically suitable for the 45 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 exterior siding the buildings and 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 habitability and lifespan 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 result 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 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 and will result in
the improved lifespan of the dwellings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE Planning
Commission of the City of South San Francisco does hereby:
A. Recommends approval of the Modification of Residential Planned Unit
Development Permit allowing exterior revisions to the dwellings
consisting of the replacement of the exterior siding.
B. Recommends approval of the Design Review of the exterior revisions to
the dwellings consisting of replacement of the exterior siding.
I hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was adopted by the Planning Commission of
the City of South San Francisco at the regular meeting held on the day of
2008, by the following vote:

Re: Westborough Highlands
1 Sunrise Court, 11 Sunrise Court, 22 Sunrise Court, 17 Moonlight Court, 21 Moonlight Court, 25
Moonlight Court and 26 Moonlight Court
Westborough Highlands are wood-framed, two and three-story duplexes situated on the up-slope and the
down slope of this hillside development. This residence was originally constructed in the 1994 to 1 Q95 time
frame and is part of a 40-unit development overlooking the 280 freeway to the East. A pier and grade beam
foundation supports the entire conventionally framed structure. Fenestration consists of double-glaZed,
aluminum-framed windows and sliding glass doors manufactured by Milgard. Roofing material are
composition shingles on a 5 and 12 slope.
A typical feature of the up-slope residence is a wooden deck, with entrances off of the Kitchen and Living
Room, which is cantilevered out over the garage entrance. The decking is 2x6 tressure treated floor planks
with a wooden railing and cap. The deck is separated from the adjacent unit by a one hour rated exterior
dividing wall.
A typical feature of the down-slope residence is a wooden deck which projects out from the building and is
supported by 6x6 pressure treated posts anchored to the ground with concrete piers. The decking is 2x6
pressure treated floor planks with a wooden railing and cap. The joists supporting the deck are cantilevered.
There are two wooden decks, one at the upper living room and the second at the lower master bedroom.
The exterior car parking area is wood framed, supported on 8x8 posts and topped with a 4" concrete slab
over a waterproofing membrane.
This project is a repair of construction defects contracted on an Owner by Owner basis. The primary
purpose of the work is to make the building watertight due to deficiencies in the existing hardboard
siding. The proposed Scope of Repair includes removal of the existing "Louisiana Pacific hmer-Seal"
lapped hardboard siding and replacement with new James Hardie Company fiber cement lap siding. Other
repairs include the installation of a new drainage system, re-flashing of the existing windows, inspection and
repair of the existing wood decks and guardrails, new composition shingle roofing and painting to match the
existing colors.

Staff Report
DATE: March 6, 2008
TO: Planning Commission
SUBJECT: ONE-YEAR REVIEW OF:
Use Permit and Design Review allowing up to 42,601 square feet for artist
studios and offices suites ranging in size from 143 square feet to 1,080 square feet
and ground floor retail area of 4, 183 square feet in an existing 67,145 square foot
3-story building, upgrades to the existing building, new landscaping, 190 at-grade
open parking spaces, and 9 at-grade open storage yards totaling 75,653 square
feet, and generating in excess of 100 average daily vehicle trips, situated at 160
South Linden Avenue (APN 014-241-040) in the Industrial (M-l) Zone District.
SSFMC Section: 20.30.030 (c) and Chapters 20.81 & 20.85.
Owner: Intrinsic Deerfield 160, L.L.C.
Applicant: Intrinsic Inc.
Case Nos.: P03-0057 [UP03-0007 & DR03-0007] & P04-0019 [UP04-0005,
DR04-0005 & MND04-0001]
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission conduct a review and offer comments.
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION:
The 5.3 acre site consists of a single 3-story building with a total floor area of 67,145 square feet
(SF) with open at-grade parking spaces, 9 outdoor open storage areas and landscaping. The
historic use of the site was paint manufacturing.
The site was previously approved by the Planning Commission for phased conversion to artist
studios and offices on the upper floors, a small ground floor retail area and 9 open storage areas
(P03-0057 approved September 2003 and P04-0019 approved November 2005). At full build
out, the project will provide 190 parking spaces, 23,404 square feet of landscaping and
accommodate up to 87 artist studios and office suites ranging in size from 143 SF to 1,080 SF.
The outside storage yards range in size from 3,123 square feet to 20,579 square feet. The storage
yards were to be limited to uses to be approved by the Chief Planner that are determined to be
compatible with office uses. The Planning Commission restricted the hours to 6AM to 12AM in
response to security concerns and prohibiting the use of the studios as live/work quarters. At full

build out, the site and building will comply with current City development standards as displayed
on the table contained in Exhibit #A.
The building and improvements were approved to be phased and the following has been
accomplished:
1. Floors 1 and 2 are partially completed and occupied.
2. A portion of the front parking lot and the rear parking lots have been constructed.
3. Landscaping along the street frontage and within the two completed parking areas has
been installed.
4. Painting of the exterior has been completed.
The building is partially occupied by a dozen artists and office based businesses. The existing
parking is more than adequate for both the current and future users of phase one. The applicant
has not indicated a timetable for the future build out.
In late summer of 2006, in response to a call for service, a Code Enforcement investigation was
initiated that [several months later into 2007] resulted in removal of the occupants of the outside
storage yards and safety improvements. None of the occupants had been approved by the City's
Chief Planner. The Planning Commission review had been delayed until the matter had been
resolved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission conduct the review and offer comments.
