Affordable Housing Agreement submitted at the June 26, 2002, public hearing of the City
Council; makes the following findings in support of a density bonus of 25% and approval of the
Affordable Housing Agreement:
1. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project in accordance
with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Mitigated
Negative Declaration No. 01-54 identifies several potential adverse impacts attributable
to the development of the fifteen (15) new residences. Mitigation measures, including a
mitigation monitoring program, have been incorporated into the project or have been
made conditions of approval which will reduce identified impacts to a less than
significant level.
2. The development will create a residential environment of sustained desirability
and stability and will result in an intensity of land use similar to adjacent multi-family
and single-family neighborhoods. The proposed density of 36.7 units per acre and the
general style and quality of the new residences and site improvements is substantially
similar to recently approved subdivisions in the City.
3. The project complies with the applicable community design guidelines
established in the South San Francisco Municipal Code Sections 20.68 through 20.74.
The design and improvements are not in conflict with any known existing public
easements. Moreover, the project provides three units of affordable housing, with the
25% density bonus. The affordable units will be restricted to occupancy by families of
low and moderate income and as such, the project meets the requirements of Chapter
20.125 and satisfies the criteria for granting a density bonus as permitted in Chapter
20.69.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby adopts Mitigated
Negative Declaration No. 01-054 and approves the Affordable Housing Agreement with a 25%
density bonus and approves Design Review 01-054 subject to the Conditions of Approval
contained in Exhibit B.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager is authorized to execute the
Affordable Housing Agreement.

agreements between the Developer and all Tenants of the three (3) Below Market Rate
Units:
1. Tenants shall be annually certified as to income eligibility for the three (3)
Below Market Rate Units and the annual certification shall be submitted to the office of
Community Development. If Developer fails to perform an annual certification, City
shall notify Developer in writing that Developer is in violation of the Affordable Housing
Agreement and Developer shall be fined ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1000.00) for
each Below Market Unit whose tenants were not subject to an annual certification. Upon
receiving written notice, Developer shall have thirty (30) days from the date of
notification to perform the certification. In the event Developer fails to perform the
certification within the thirty (30) day period, City shall have the right to fine the
Developer an additional ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1000.00) for each Below
Market Unit whose tenants have not been subject to an annual certification. The City
shall continue to have the right to fine Developer ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($
1000.00) for every thirty (30) day period that passes, from the date Developer receives
notice, for each Below Market Unit whose tenants have not been subject to an annual
certification. City shall have the right to take steps to assess these fines as a lien against
either the property where the Below Market Units are located or against the Project
Property.
2. The Developer shall be allowed to raise the rental amount no more than
five percent (5%), or the percentage rise in area median income, whichever is lower.
Developer shall only raise rents once per year on the Tenant's anniversary.
3. Developer shall at all times maintain three (3) Below Market Rate Units in
the Project. No units are specifically designated as Below Market Rate units so long as
three (3) units in the Project are occupied by income eligible Tenants at all times.
However, the three (3) units shall at all times be consistent with the size and space
requirements set forth in the Affordable Housing Agreement. In the event any income
eligible Tenants are subsequently determined to be ineligible (or over income tenants),
Developer shall not evict a formerly income eligible Tenant on the basis the Tenant has
become income ineligible for a period of six (6) months. If during the six (6) month
period, it is determined that another Tenant is income eligible, and that the size and space
requirements for the three (3) Below Market Rate units can be maintained in accordance
with the Affordable Housing Agreement, the income ineligible Tenant subject to eviction
shall be allowed to remain in the unit and Developer shall be allowed to raise the rent
amount for said ineligible Tenant to an amount equivalent to the Market Rate for said
Tenant's unit. Developer shall immediately lower the new income eligible Tenant's rent
to the applicable Below Market Rate upon determining that the Tenant is income eligible

650/829-6639)
ENGINEERING DIVISION requirements shall be as follows:
The developer shall comply with all of the applicable conditions of approval detailed in
the Engineering Division's "Standard Subdivision and Use Permit Conditions for
Townhouse, Condominium and Apartment Developments with Private Streets and
Utilities", contained in our "Standard Conditions for Subdivisions and Private
Developments" booklet dated January 1998. This booklet is available in our office at no
cost to the applicant.
The developer shall design, construct and install: new curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveway
approach and pavement overlay/conform to the street centefline (if necessary) within Oak
Avenue, in front of the subject property. Plans for these improvements shall be prepared
by the developer's civil engineering consultant and submitted to the Engineering Division
for review and approval. The frontage improvement work shall be constructed at no cost
to the City and in accordance with the approved plans, to the satisfaction of the City's
Engineering Construction Coordinator and pursuant to the terms of a secured
encroachment permit, to be obtained prior to receiving a building permit for the project.
The developer shall design a storm drainage system for the project that will drain the
entire site, without flowing onto adjacent private property. The on-site drainage system
shall connect directly to the existing public drainage facilities located within Oak Avenue.
The drainage system shall incorporate storm water filters, meeting the requirements of
the San Mateo County Best Management Practices for private developments. The plans
for these improvements shall be prepared by the developer's civil engineering consultant
and submitted to the Engineering and Water Quality Control Divisions for review and
approval.
The applicant is advised that the subject site is located within FEMA Flood Hazard Zone
AH and will need to have the elevation of its floor raised above the 100-year flood
elevation. The proposed underground garage may need special flood-proofing and
drainage improvements to conform to FEMA's regulations.
The developers shall show on their plans all utility connections proposed to service the
building. The plans shall show all existing utilities that may be affected by the new
services. All utility facilities and appurtenances shall be installed underground.
The applicant shall submit the following plans for review: Site, Grading & Drainage,
Landscaping and Utility Plans, in accordance with the Engineering Division's "Typical
Plan Check Submittals" requirements hand-out sheet.
There is an existing City 10" diameter sanitary sewer main, which crosses the subject
property and must be relocated before the proposed apartment can be constructed. The
applicant shall design, construct and install a new 10" sewer main, which will by-pass the
subject property. The applicant has submitted a proposed Sewer Relocation plan, dated
February 20, 2002, prepared by BKF Civil Engineers, showing a new sewer main
installed within Oak Avenue and Commercial Avenue. The main would connect with an
existing manhole in front of 90 Oak Avenue, flow North to Commercial Avenue, then
East along Commercial, connecting to the existing sewer main at Commercial Avenue's
intersection with Daly Court. This plan is acceptable, under the following conditions:
a) The sewer shall be installed along the alignment of the existing sewer within
Commercial Avenue. The existing old sewer shall be removed and replaced
with the new 10" sewer main and any existing laterals reconnected to the new
line.
b) Because of the existing number of utility cuts in the street and the impact of the
new sewer installation, the applicant shall also over-lay the portion of
Commercial Avenue, between Oak Avenue and the East side of Daly Court with
1.5 inches of Class A asphaltic concrete.
c) The applicants shall have their civil engineer prepare plans and specifications to
perform this work. The plans and specifications shall be submitted to the City
Engineer for review and approval. The applicant shall install the new sewer
main, in accordance with the approved plans and to City standards.
d) Prior to receiving a building permit for the apartment, the applicant shall obtain
an encroachment permit or public improvement agreement, secured by cash, a
letter of credit, or surety bond in the amount of the Engineer's Estimate to
perform the work, as approved by the City Engineer.
Alternately, the applicant may install a new 12" sewer main extending down Oak Avenue
to the 18" City trunk main within Mission Road. However, this alternative will have to
be evaluated by the applicant's civil engineer to verify, to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer, that the portion of the 18" main, between Oak Avenue and Chestnut Avenue
(where the main size increases to 24" diameter) can accommodate the additional sewage
flow, along with the existing flow in the line, as well as the future flows from Daly City,
the Town of Colma and from future development in South San Francisco within the
drainage basin that discharges into the Mission Road main. Conditions 7c and 7d
discussed above would apply to this solution to the sewer relocation requirement.
(Engineering Contact Person: Richard Harmon, 650/829-6652)
