Motion to accept the Training Tower Maintenance Project (pf1704)improvements as complete in accordance with project
documents.(Lawrence Henriquez, Senior Civil Engineer)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council,by motion,accept the Training Tower Maintenance Project improvements
as complete in accordance with the inspection reports provided by Fire Safety & Inspection Services, LLC.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Fire Department’s Live Fire Training Structure (LFTS)is located at Fire Station No.61 at 480 North Canal Street
(Attachment 1).The structure was built in 2006 and is a custom structure that Fire Facilities,Inc.installed.It consists of a
6-story tower,a 2-story residence,and a one-story annex (Attachment 2).The Fire Department hosts numerous training
sessions throughout the year,and assurance that the LFTS’s components are in good working condition is vital to its
yearly operations and functionality.For example,the LFTS contains burn room components for training exercises that
need to be reliable and devoid of malfunctions when operating.Therefore,it is critical that the LFTS inner workings are
kept in premium condition.The LFTS is constantly in use throughout the year and is an integral part of the Fire
Department’s training regimen.
On November 8,2023,City Council awarded the Training Tower Maintenance Project (“Project”)to Draeger,Inc.,Fire
Facilities,Inc.,and to Burke Construction.The project replaced the Training Tower’s interior components such as the gas
detection system,exterior estops,upgraded the fire props control system,replaced cover hallway detectors,gas detector
cover panels,exterior exhaust fans;replaced the tower’s roof,catwalk,and provided a full electrical system upgrade.The
Training Tower is heavily used throughout the year,and since it’s installment in 2006,the project’s work represented the
first significant rehabilitation effort.Lastly,the Building Division inspected the work and found the project to be
substantially complete in accordance with the inspection reports provided by Fire Safety & Inspection Services, LLC.
FISCAL IMPACT
The project was included in the City’s Fiscal Year (FY)2024-25 Capital Improvements Project budget.And there were
sufficient funds to cover the total construction contract costs.The total construction costs incurred for the project in
comparison to the project’s budget is summarized as follows:
Contractor Actual Costs Allotted Project Budget with

Report regarding the transfer of $13,787,957 from the Sewer Capacity Charge Fund (730)to the Sewer
Enterprise Fund (710)in accordance with the 2017 Development Mitigation Fee Study and approving Budget
Amendment Number 25.057 (Amanda Parker-Govea, Management Analyst I)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the transfer of $13,787,957 from
the Sewer Capacity Charge Fund (730)to the Sewer Enterprise Fund (710)representing the 66%buy-in
share of total sewer impact fee revenue collected since FY 2017-18 in accordance with the 2017
Development Mitigation Fee Study. and approving Budget Amendment Number 25.057
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In 2017,the City of South San Francisco adopted the Development Mitigation Fee Study prepared by Michael
Baker International,which established the fair-share costs associated with providing sewer infrastructure
capacity to support new development.The study identified a total fair-share cost of $89,964,937 for the City’s
sewer infrastructure.Of this total,$60,118,605 (or approximately 66%)was designated as the “buy-in”
component, reflecting the value of existing assets that new development should reimburse the City for utilizing.
Since the adoption of the study,the City has collected $20,890,845 in sewer capacity charges.In accordance
with the cost allocation established by the 2017 study,66%of these fees,equivalent to $13,787,957,is
attributable to the reimbursement of the Sewer Fund (Fund 710),which financed the existing capacity used by
new developments.
Fiscal Year Capacity Charges Collected66% Buy-In Share (Reimbursable to Fund 710)
2017-18 5,603,212$ 3,698,120$
2018-19 2,947,010$ 1,945,027$
2019-20 2,144,501$ 1,415,371$
2020-21 1,973,513$ 1,302,518$
2021-22 3,190,019$ 2,105,412$
2022-23 1,194,997$ 788,698$
2023-24 1,614,860$ 1,065,807$
2024-25 2,222,734$ 1,467,004$
Total 20,890,846$ 13,787,957$
This proposed reimbursement aligns with the intent of the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code §66000 et
seq.)and supports the equitable distribution of infrastructure costs between existing users and new
development.It also ensures that the Sewer Fund is reimbursed for its investment in capacity that benefits
growth.

FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed transfer of $13,787,957 from the Sewer Capacity Charge Fund to the Sewer Enterprise Fund will
increase the available resources in the Sewer Enterprise Fund for future needs.This action does not create any
new expenses.Instead,it ensures the accurate allocation of previously incurred capital costs to the appropriate
funding source,as defined by the City’s adopted Study.The proposed action will also correct the historical
funding allocation and restore the Sewer Fund balance,preserving its capacity to support ongoing operations,
maintenance, and future infrastructure needs.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
This action supports Strategic Priority No.3 -Infrastructure,by ensuring proper funding allocation for essential
public infrastructure and preserving the long-term sustainability of enterprise funds.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution and Budget Amendment Number 25.057 to
facilitate the reimbursement of the Sewer Fund (710)for a proportionate share of eligible capacity-related
infrastructure improvements, in accordance with the City’s development impact financing framework.

Report regarding a resolution approving a consulting services agreement with Daryl D.Jones,Inc.,for
Telecommunications Engineering and Police Information Technology Administration Services for a three-year
term in an amount not to exceed $650,000 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the consulting services
agreement.(Ken Chetcuti, Police Captain)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a consulting services agreement with
Daryl D.Jones,Inc.,for telecommunications engineering and police information technology administration
services for a three-year term in an amount not to exceed $650,000 and authorize the City Manager to execute
the consulting services agreement.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of South San Francisco Police Department (SSFPD)has had a consulting services agreement with
Daryl D.Jones Inc.(Consultant),for the last 30 years.Mr.Jones was a city employee between 1981 and 1994
with responsibilities like those of the current consulting services agreement.For the past 25 years,Consultant
and team have worked closely with the City’s Information Technology (IT)Department,building a strong
relationship and providing necessary services.
The Consultant provides uniquely specialized services that are essential to the operation of the SSFPD’s
communications technology needs.Consultant and team are recognized throughout the Bay Area as stand-alone
experts in their field,and the services of the Consultant has been used by all law enforcement agencies in the
area for many years.There are no other known companies that can provide the depth and breadth of service
provided by the Consultant.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Consultant will serve as the administrator and engineer for City public safety telecommunications systems and
facilities,and computer technology related to law enforcement systems.Responsibilities include routine
administration for the SSFPD’s computer aided dispatch,message switching systems,and police records
management systems.
Additionally, Consultant will do the following:
·Participate with City staff on matters related to public-safety information technology planning including
computer, radio, telephone, and data communications systems.
·Develop and maintain professional relationships with the city management team.
·Serve as a principal systems administrator and engineer for all law enforcement information

management systems and public safety telecommunications systems.
·Advise on matters related to system and network security,including compliance with Lawnet and
Department of Justice requirements.
·Be available to respond to requests for technical assistance from SSFPD staff after normal business
hours.
·Provide consulting and problem resolution assistance for matters related to the Law Enforcement
Records Management System,Computer Aided Dispatch System,Mobile Data System,and Message-
Switching System.
·Provide the IT Department with troubleshooting guidance and direction when feasible on the Records
Management System,Computer Aided Dispatch System,and Mobile Data System to assist in
supporting the SSFPD.
·Assist with the administration of all electronic equipment used in the public-safety communications
center, including E-911 and the dispatch center facility.
·Participate in budget preparation and administration for law enforcement technology.
·Represent the SSFPD at various local,state,and regional professional seminars,conferences,
presentations, etc.
·Assist in the training and duty assignments of police personnel.
·Maintain current detailed documentation and provide to the IT Department related to the Law
Enforcement Records Management System,Computer Aided Dispatch System,Mobile Data System,
Message-Switching System,Radio System,and Microwave System,including network drawings,
circuit information, contact information, and all other relevant information to support the systems.
·Notify the IT Department and provide any new documentation on all new equipment,software,circuit
installations, and other technology used in the SSFPD.
·Technical assistance and systems design for upcoming initiatives, including:
Continuing Projects (2025-2028):
·Next Generation 911 (NG911): Modernization of emergency call routing using VOIP.
·ERRCS Coordination: Ensuring radio systems do not interfere with public safety frequencies.
The proposed consulting services agreement with Consultant,provides for a three-year average cost of
$216,667 per year.Under the agreement,Consultant will typically be on site Monday-Friday.Consultant will
field calls on a regular,24x7 basis,including weekends,without additional charges.Based on a 40-hour work
week, hourly rate is $104.16 per hour.
Over the many years,Consultant has proven to be a highly skilled engineer who was instrumental in providing
input for the police dispatch center.Consultant and team also collaborated with the IT team for the smooth
transition into the new City facilities.
The critical factor in the staff recommendation to retain Consultant is flexibility and around-the-clock coverage
to support SSFPD.Consultant regularly responds to requests for technical assistance from SSFPD staff,as well
City of South San Francisco Printed on 6/18/2025Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™26
File #:25-603 Agenda Date:6/25/2025
Version:1 Item #:4.
to support SSFPD.Consultant regularly responds to requests for technical assistance from SSFPD staff,as well
as from the Pacifica Police Department who is under contract with the City.Requests typically pertain to
computer-aided dispatch,mobile data systems,and dispatch radio issues.On average,Consultant responds to
six after-hours’calls per week,some at 3:00 a.m.Most are handled remotely while others take several hours to
complete.
It is not feasible for the IT Department to take on the services provided by Consultant due to the unique nature
of those services.Even if the IT Department were able to take on some of the services,there would still be a
need to contract with an outside vendor to supplement those services that are beyond the scope and ability of
what the IT Department can provide.The other Bay Area agencies that contract with Consultant have also
determined that it would be too expensive to provide the services rendered by Consultant,and that contracting
with Consultant is the most effective way to ensure complex communications technology needs are met.
As part of evaluating the current proposed agreement,SSFPD worked closely with the IT Department to
determine which areas of services could potentially be picked up by IT.Staff reviewed different levels of
support,work knowledge,experience,and IT staff resources.Staff determined that continuing a services
agreement with Consultant would provide less risk,reduce costs,and allow IT staff more time to focus on
routine desktop and mobile computer support,and on other City-related calls.Furthermore,the IT Director
determined that if the City replaced Consultant,there would be a need to hire at least two new full-time
employees with radio and police department experience to manage the complex dispatch and radio
communication system.The City would also need to establish a contract with an outside company,for more
complex radio issues. Two new employees with benefits could cost more than $350,000 per year.
Staff therefore recommends that the services agreement with Consultant be authorized pursuant to the “sole
source”procurement method under the South San Francisco Municipal Code (SSFMC).The “sole source”
procurement method is used to describe instances where the products or services the City desires to obtain are
available only from one vendor,and the City is procuring such product or service from that vendor instead of
going through the open market procedure.
SSFMC 4.04.080(a)permits the City to dispense with open market procedures if a commodity can only be
obtained from one vendor.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize use of the “sole source”procurement method as the
specialized services that Consultant provides cannot be obtained from any other vendor.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding is budgeted in the SSFPD Fiscal Year’s Budgets (2025-26, 2026-27, and 2027-28).
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
This item meets the City’s strategic planning goal:#3 Public Safety -Skilled police,fire,emergency medical &
disaster management.
CONCLUSION
The staff of the South San Francisco Police and Information Technology Departments both recommend
authorizing the contract for Daryl D.Jones Inc.,for three years.Consultant and team provide necessary services

authorizing the contract for Daryl D.Jones Inc.,for three years.Consultant and team provide necessary services
to keep the SSFPD at the forefront of technology.This is the most cost-effective and low-risk option for
providing the citizens of South San Francisco and its contract cities with the best engineering and support.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a consulting services agreement with
Daryl D.Jones,Inc.,for telecommunications engineering and police information technology administration
services for a three-year term in an amount not to exceed $650,000 and authorizing the City Manager to
execute the consulting services agreement.

Report regarding a resolution approving a Sixth Amendment with JobTrain,Inc.for workforce development
support services in an amount not to exceed $75,835 and a Sixth Amendment with Renaissance
Entrepreneurship Center for entrepreneurship development services in an amount not to exceed $184,165.(
Michael Guss, Economic Development Specialist)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution approving a Sixth Amendment with JobTrain,Inc.,not to
exceed $75,835 until funds are exhausted or December 31,2025,whichever occurs sooner,and a Sixth
Amendment with Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center,not to exceed $184,165 until funds are exhausted or
December 31, 2025, whichever occurs sooner.
BACKGROUND
The City established the Economic Advancement Center (EAC)with a $2 million General Fund appropriation
in 2021.The EAC was designed as a Covid-19 recovery program.The main goal of the EAC was to assist
South San Francisco residents who were displaced from employment,or had their small businesses impacted,
during the Covid-19 pandemic generate income quickly as Covid relief funds waned.
A central reason for creating the EAC was that North San Mateo County was a resource desert prior to,during,
and immediately after,the Covid-19 pandemic.Many individuals who could have benefited from Covid-19
relief programs were not able to apply because the locations that served South San Francisco were based in
Redwood City, San Francisco, and Sunnyvale.
The City conducted a Requests for Qualifications (RFQ)process to select a workforce development service
provider and a small business/entrepreneurship counseling and development provider.As a result of the twin
RFQs,JobTrain,Inc.was selected as the workforce development provider and Renaissance Entrepreneurship
Center was selected as the small business development provider.
Grant Funding for the EAC
As the Covid-19 pandemic receded,the EAC was successful in obtaining several grants to support continued
operations.
In February 2022,the City received a $1.132 million grant from the United States Department of Commerce,
Economic Development Administration (EDA)to support small business development and entrepreneurial
development services at the EAC.The EDA grant funded the EAC’s small business programs from March 2022
through December 31,2024.All funds have been expended,the City has received the full $1.132 million from
City of South San Francisco Printed on 6/18/2025Page 1 of 5

File #:25-647 Agenda Date:6/25/2025
Version:1 Item #:5.
through December 31,2024.All funds have been expended,the City has received the full $1.132 million from
EDA; the City also received a closeout letter in May 2025.
In May 2023,the City received a $500,000 grant from the United States Department of Labor.This project was
made possible through the work of former Member of Congress Jackie Speier,who submitted an earmark
request on the City’s behalf.This grant paid for roughly half of the EAC’s workforce development programs
from 2023 through May 31, 2025.
In July 2023,the City received a $1 million appropriation from the Office of State Senator Josh Becker.This
could support operations of the EAC,including space,workforce development services and small business
development/entrepreneurial services.This earmark has funded the cost of leasing the EAC,and filled gaps in
workforce development and small business funding over the past two years.
In October 2024,the City received a $270,000 grant from San Mateo County Measure K funds designated by
Supervisors Pine and Canepa to fund workforce development services,small business development services,
and the Promotores Program.This grant requires $184,165 to be spent on Renaissance Entrepreneurship
Center’s small business development programs,$75,835 on JobTrain’s workforce development services,and
$10,000 on the Promotores Program. This funding remains available to spend down.
The grants described above shifted the focus of the EAC from Covid-19 recovery to economic mobility
services and expanded the service area of the EAC from the City of South San Francisco to include the
communities of Brisbane,Colma,Daly City,Pacifica,Millbrae,and San Bruno in addition to the City of South
San Francisco.
Previous Renaissance & JobTrain Contract Amendments, and Clients Served
Since 2021,City Council has approved four cost extension amendments to the contract with Renaissance
Entrepreneurship Center and four cost extensions to the contract with JobTrain, Inc. They are as follows:
Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center:
Year Contracted Amount
2021 $467,000
2022 $568,128
2023 $573,327
2024 $425,000
Total $2,251,910
As a result of this investment,262 businesses received technical assistance,41 business launched,and 543 jobs
were created or retained (246 created and 297 retained).
Since 2021,City Council has approved four cost extension amendments to the contract with JobTrain,Inc.

Total $1,776,116
As a result of this investment,357 individuals obtained employment at an average wage of $22.46 per hour
(total earned varied from $15 an hour to $75 per hour);the total annual wages of JobTrain clients who obtained
employment through the EAC is $16.67 million per year.This is roughly a 939%annual return on funds
expended on workforce development services.
Future Funding for the EAC
While the EAC has been a success,and the services valuable to South San Francisco residents as well as
residents of nearby communities,the City’s ability to subsidize the services offered at the EAC is coming to an
end.Since 2022,services at the EAC have been significantly subsidized through federal and state grants.Since
2022,the federal government has pulled back funding across the board,and the state government went from
record surpluses to significant deficits.The City now faces a significant structural deficit,as well,leaving the
City in a position where it can no longer guarantee General Fund funding for the EAC.
Housing Division staff identified a way to pay for the cost of the EAC facility.The Permanent Local Housing
Allowance (PLHA)can pay for facility costs to host services that assist people in avoiding homelessness.The
services provided at the EAC are services that assist people with avoiding homelessness,and are therefore
eligible under PLHA.Staff is currently evaluating a lease extension at the current EAC facility or moving the
EAC to another location.
Service provider JobTrain was successful in obtaining a large grant from the State of California.Their $3
million grant will pay for job placement services (with a specific focus on individuals re-entering society after
serving time in jail or prison)in San Jose,East Palo Alto,North Fair Oaks and South San Francisco.Our
understanding from speaking with JobTrain staff is that the grant pays for 75%of the Career Specialists’
salaries who work at the EAC between June 1, 2025 and May 31, 2028.
Renaissance and JobTrain are working together with the support of City staff to solicit funds from private
foundations.Promising conversations have occurred with one prominent foundation,and asks have been made
at several others.

City staff is engaged in a planning process to examine the feasibility of locating a Financial Empowerment
Center (FEC)within the EAC.FECs provide 1:1 financial counseling to individuals;this focuses on
establishing a bank account,reducing debt,creating savings plan,establishing credit and increasing credit
scores.Financial counseling can be provided for a myriad of reasons,including obtaining more suitable
housing,buying a home,buying a car,etc.Limited services for business owners are provided by FECs;these
services focus on detangling the personal and business finances of microentrepreneurs.FECs can also make
referrals to service providers,such as Small Business Development Centers,when they are unable to provide
the services clients are seeking.If a FEC is found to be feasible,the City would issue a RFP for services and the
services would likely be located within the EAC.
By allocating the $260,000 remaining in the Measure K discretionary grant provided by Supervisors Dave Pine
and Dave Canepa in 2024 to cost-extensions for Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center and JobTrain,Inc.,the
City will be able to provide services at the EAC through the Fall.This will allow the FEC planning process to
be completed, and philanthropic fundraising to continue.
DISCUSSION
City Council could elect to cease EAC operations on July 1,2025 when the existing contracts expire (the lease
runs through August).However,because of JobTrain’s state funding,this would likely mean that services
would be moved to another community,such as San Bruno,Daly City,or Brisbane in North San Mateo County.
Ceasing EAC operations on July 1,2025 would leave entrepreneurs in South San Francisco without services
and would re-establish the service desert that the EAC was established to address.This would also require the
City to return the $260,000 that the County awarded to the City to provide services at the EAC.
In October 2024,the City Council passed Resolution 158-2024,which approved budget amendment 25.022.As
a result,these funds were added to the appropriate projects in the City’s financial system.No further budget
amendment is necessary;the proposed resolution merely authorizes amendments to the service provider
contracts to expend grant monies already accepted and budgeted by City Council.
Finally,because the Permanent Local Housing Allocation can pay for space and because the County
Discretionary Grant can pay for the extensions, there is no impact to the general fund to approve this resolution.
Approving this resolution would allow the City and its nonprofit partners appropriate time to transition services
at the EAC and adapt the EAC model to changing conditions.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund associated with adopting the resolution.
CONCLUSION
Short-term extensions through December 31,2025 give staff the time to complete planning processes and
nonprofits time to transition to a model where the City provides the space to operate the EAC,but does not
directly fund services provided at the EAC.

Report regarding a request from Rotary Plaza,Inc.for funding to support a proposed affordable housing
development,Rotary Gardens,located at 500 and 522 Linden,and adoption of a resolution committing
$2,366,828 to the project.(Mike Noce, Housing Manager)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council receive a report regarding a request from Rotary Plaza,Inc.for a
proposed affordable housing development at 500 and 522 Linden and consider adoption of a resolution
conditionally committing $2,366,828 from the Commercial Linkage Fee Fund to bring the total funding
support to $4,000,000,directing staff to negotiate loan agreements effectuating this commitment,and
return to Council for final budgetary appropriations and loan approval.
BACKGROUND
In Summer 2023,the Rotary Club informed the City of a potential affordable housing project at the Liberty
Bank site located at 500 and 522 Linden.The Rotary Club and its development partner,Beacon Development,
have collaborated closely with the City to advance a two-phase development project,known as Rotary Gardens.
The first phase includes an 80-unit senior affordable housing building,and the second phase consists of a 64-
unit family building.Both buildings are part of the same entitlement process to ensure a cohesive vision and
management approach.Each building is 6 stories and approximately 75 feet in height.52 parking spaces are
proposed at 500 Linden Avenue, and 61 parking spaces are proposed at 522 Linden Avenue.
On December 13,2023,the City committed $1,633,172 to the design and pre-entitlement preparations of
Rotary Gardens.There were two sources used by the City to provide the funding.A portion,$556,789,came
from the City’s allocation of the State-funded Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA)fund.The majority
of funding,$1,076,383,was approved from the City’s Fund 241,which holds developer in-lieu fees that must
be spent down within four years of receipt when the City holds a surplus of over $1 million.Providing funding
to affordable housing projects early in their predevelopment journey shows that the City is committed to the
success of the project and provides early low-cost capital that the development team can leverage to secure
additional funding for the project.
The project is subject to a streamlined ministerial review process under State Assembly Bill AB 2011,and is
eligible for concessions and waivers to the City’s development standards through State Density Bonus law.
Ministerial review means that it is not subject to discretionary review,and thus may not be reviewed and
approved by the Planning Commission and/or City Council,but rather must be reviewed and approved at the
staff level.According to State Law,100%affordable housing development projects must meet all requirements
under Government Code Sections 65912.111,65912.112,65912.113,and the labor standards under Sections
65912.130 -65912.131,in order to be eligible for ministerial approval under AB 2011.The City has determined
that the Project complies with all such criteria and is eligible for AB 2011 ministerial review.Planning Division
staff are in the process of issuing a ministerial approval and compliance letter with conditions of approval.Staff
anticipate issuing the compliance letter in July 2025.

The City has three main affordable housing funds:the Housing Trust Fund (Fund 205),the Low/Mod-Income
Housing Asset Fund also known as the Housing Successor Fund (Fund 241),and the Commercial Linkage Fee
(Fund 823).The City also receives a formula entitlement grant from the State known as the Permanent Local
Housing Allocation or PLHA,which has already been earmarked and is not listed below.The unencumbered
balances of these funds, as of June 2025, are listed in Table 1.
Table 1: Affordable Housing Funds
Fund Balance
Housing Trust Fund (Fund 205)$200,000
Low/Mod-Income Housing Asset Fund (Fund 241)$1,000,000
Commercial Linkage Fee Fund (Fund 823)$14,000,000
TOTAL HOUSING FUNDS $15,200,000
DISCUSSION
Rotary and Beacon are preparing to apply for additional funding through a Notice of Funding Availability
(NOFA)for the Affordable Housing Fund (AHF)from the San Mateo County Department of Housing in early
July 2025,which is typically a competitive funding source.A strong contribution of local City funds allows the
project team to better compete against other projects that might be in a similar phase of development.
Affordable housing developers are often layering their financing proforma with funding from various sources,
and securing local funds is an expected first step that allows the developer to leverage County and State dollars.
The roughly $1.6 million in funding already committed by the City has benefited the Rotary Gardens project by
allowing the project team to draw funds and accelerate the design and requirements for entitlement of the
project.Rotary and Beacon have continued to act in good faith and are expected to complete entitlements in
July 2025.The project’s location in downtown will support future residents with proximity to public transit and
resources,such as schools,grocery stores,etc.The inclusion of family and senior housing will provide much-
needed affordable units to a range of households throughout the South San Francisco community.
Rotary Gardens will target households in extremely low and very low income categories,up to 60%of the Area
Median Income for San Mateo County.With the addition of the City’s Municipal Code Chapter 8.100 Local
Preferences and Requirements passed in March 2025,there is a clear goal to deliver priority preference to
households that live or work within the City.The local preference helps mitigate the potential displacement
impacts being faced by many community members and provides an opportunity for people working within the
city to live near their workplaces, mitigating the negative environmental and traffic impacts of long commutes.
A total City commitment of $4 million will show considerable local support for the project,which is a
requested amount that Rotary and Beacon shared early on in discussions with the City to improve their
competitiveness for additional funding.The City expects to receive a minimum of roughly $4.5 million into the
Commercial Linkage Fee Fund (Fund 823)within Fiscal Years 25-26 and 26-27,which would more than offset
the current increase in funding to the Rotary Gardens project.As stated previously,there is existing funding
committed by the City.$556,789 is from the City’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA)fund,and
$1,076,383 is from the City’s Fund 241 for predevelopment.With City Council approval,the remaining
commitment of $2,366,828 towards the project will be made once the following conditions have been fulfilled:
1.Local land use and entitlement approvals;
2.Documentation and award of County AHF Funding; and

Version:1 Item #:6.
3.City of South San Francisco’s receipt of City linkage fees.
The actions associated with this staff report would commit funds,but staff would still need to negotiate loan
agreements with Rotary and Beacon and return to Council for final approval and formal appropriation of the
funds.The above-listed conditions align with the development timeline for the project and allow City Council
to confirm the City is well-positioned to provide this support.Today’s actions are the first in a two-step process
to make the City's commitment effective.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund associated with approving the proposed resolutions.
Approval of the resolutions will serve to conditionally approve unencumbered affordable housing funds from
the Commercial Linkage Fee Fund (Fund 823), not to exceed $2,366,828.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends City Council receive a report regarding a request from Rotary Plaza,Inc.for a proposed
affordable housing development at 500 and 522 Linden and consider adoption of a resolution conditionally
committing $2,366,828 from the Commercial Linkage Fee Fund to bring the total funding support to
$4,000,000,directing staff to negotiate loan agreements effectuating this commitment,and return to Council for
final budgetary appropriations and loan approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Genentech established its headquarters in South San Francisco in 1978,starting in a warehouse building at the
easterly point of the East of 101 subarea amid meat packing plants,old steel mills,truck depots,and other
industrial uses.Genentech quickly grew over the next two decades,expanding to 3,000 employees over a 72-
acre campus by 1995,when the City adopted the first Genentech Corporate Facilities Master Plan.Significant
growth continued in both the land area and number of employees as the City adopted subsequent master plans
in 2007,2013,and 2020.The Genentech Campus currently includes approximately 12,000 employees within
4.5 million square feet of building area spread over 207 acres.

File #:25-397 Agenda Date:6/25/2025
Version:1 Item #:8.
The current 2020 Genentech Campus Master Plan (2020 Master Plan)articulates a vision for new growth and
development within the campus,establishing facility-wide development standards,with a maximum floor area
ratio (FAR)of 1.0 times the total area of all lots within the Master Plan,providing for a buildout potential of
just over 9 million square feet.The 2020 Master Plan also includes goals and objectives related to creating a
strong campus-centered environment.
Subsequent to adoption of the 2020 Master Plan,Genentech has acquired additional private properties within
the campus boundaries.With these private property acquisitions,all properties within the Genentech Campus
boundaries (with the exception of the Wind Harp Park and the CalWater parcel)are now owned or controlled
by Genentech.
There are currently three public roads located within the Genentech Campus boundaries:DNA Way,Point San
Bruno Boulevard,and a one-block segment of Cabot Road (between Allerton Avenue and DNA Way).Recent
traffic counts completed in 2024 within the Genentech Campus indicate that DNA Way handled between 2,500-
3,500 trips per weekday.Of these trips,approximately 95 percent started or ended within the Genentech
Campus,with the remaining 5 percent (about 180 trips on a typical weekday)passing through the Campus to
somewhere else.Some proportion of this pass-through travel is still associated with Genentech operations,such
as gRide buses,security vehicles,and deliveries.Based on this,it is assumed that approximately 97-98 percent
of trips on DNA Way are Genentech-related,with the total volume of non-Genentech trips likely between 60-
120 trips per day.With the recent acquisition of the three private properties,these three public roads have
essentially become internal roads for the Genentech Campus.
Based on this data and Genentech’s efforts to create a stronger campus environment,Genentech has requested
to acquire these three street rights-of-way for a sum of $25,000,000;if such a sale were approved by the City
Council,DNA Way,Point San Bruno Blvd,and the short segment of Cabot Road would become private streets
that are owned and maintained by Genentech.The sale would be used to facilitate a substantial redevelopment
of Genentech’s upper campus and provide some security control over the area.While the City would vacate
ownership of all roads and no longer be responsible for maintenance,there would be a license agreement
between the City and Genentech to permit public access,utility access,and maintenance,as well as emergency
vehicle access.Any future closures to public access would be considered as part of a future development
application to the City,and depending on the subject segment,would require future appraisal and a
supplemental payment to the City.The segment providing access to the Wind Harp is not eligible for future
closure to public access and the license agreement for that segment would remain in place permanently.

Genentech has also submitted an entitlement application to incorporate the additional private properties and the
three public rights-of-way proposed for acquisition within the Genentech Master Plan,and rezoning the private
properties from Business Technology Park -Medium (BTP-M)to Genentech Master Plan District (GMP).The
entitlement application also requests associated amendments to the General Plan and Genentech Master Plan.
PROJECT OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
2020 Genentech Campus Master Plan
The Genentech Campus is located within the City’s East of 101 subarea,currently comprising approximately
4.5 million square feet of building area spread over 207 acres,with approximately 12,000 employees across a
wide range of business functions.
The Genentech Campus is primarily regulated by the Genentech Campus Master Plan,which was most recently
updated in 2020 (2020 Master Plan).The 2020 Master Plan articulates the vision for new growth and
development within the campus over the next 20 or more years.Because of this long-term nature,the 2020
Master Plan establishes an overall development envelope in which Genentech can increase building density
while providing flexibility in the mix of use types (office,lab/research and development,manufacturing,and
amenity)to be built over time.The campus wide maximum FAR is 1.0,providing for a buildout potential of
just over 9 million square feet,essentially doubling the existing building area within the campus.The 2020
Master Plan seeks to limit the amount of additional traffic generated by any additional growth by implementing

Version:1 Item #:8.
Master Plan seeks to limit the amount of additional traffic generated by any additional growth by implementing
an aggressive TDM goal for a 50 percent reduction in single-occupant vehicles and a Trip Cap for the campus.
The 2020 Master Plan also highlights goals and objectives related to creating a strong campus-centered
environment,including establishing places that prioritize people over cars and incorporating outdoor spaces for
daily and/or special events.The 2020 Master Plan includes the consideration of a shared-street concept
whereby DNA Way is scheduled for partial closure to general vehicle traffic during specified times of the day
(such as between the morning and afternoon peak traffic hours)and opened as a pedestrian-only environment
with accommodations for emergency vehicles and shuttle and bus access.
Proposed 2025 Genentech Master Plan Amendments Project
Incorporation of New Private Parcels within the Genentech Master Plan District
Subsequent to adoption of the 2020 Master Plan,Genentech has acquired or is long-term leasing three
additional private properties within the campus boundaries:
1.333 Point San Bruno Boulevard,owned by Genentech.Comprised of APN 015-250-410,consisting of
approximately 0.5 acres,and APN 015-250-140,consisting of approximately 1.4 acres (previously
known as the Lithotype property).
2.525 DNA Way (APN 015-250-210),owned by Genentech.Approximately 3.1 acres,previously known
as the Bakery Institute.This does not include the short public easement connecting DNA Way to the
Wind Harp Park site, which remains as a public access easement.
3.383-393 East Grand Avenue (APN 015-250-390),under long-term lease by Genentech,with intent to
acquire. Approximately 4.7 acres, known as the Dome Construction site.
With the acquisition of these three properties,all private property within the Genentech Campus boundaries
other than Wind Harp Park and the CalWater parcel are now owned or controlled by Genentech.
Incorporation of Roadways within the Genentech Master Plan District
Traffic counts were collected in 2024 on DNA Way near Genentech’s Building 34 (located in the Upper
Campus) and on Point San Bruno Blvd. This analysis found the following:
·DNA Way serves about 2,500 to 3,500 vehicles on weekdays and fewer than 600 vehicles on weekend
days.These traffic volumes are much smaller than East Grand Ave.and Oyster Point Blvd.,which
typically serve over 20,000 vehicles per day.
·Point San Bruno Blvd.,which is accessed from DNA Way,serves about 2,200 to 2,600 vehicles on
weekdays and approximately 300 to 400 vehicles on weekend days.The majority of the weekday trips
were accessing Parking Structure 2 and adjacent surface parking lots.
Of the current trips on DNA Way,approximately 95 percent start or end within the Genentech Campus,and
approximately 5 percent (about 180 trips on a typical weekday)pass through the Campus to somewhere else.
Some proportion of this pass-through travel is still associated with Genentech operations,including gRide

Version:1 Item #:8.
Some proportion of this pass-through travel is still associated with Genentech operations,including gRide
buses,security vehicles,carpools,vanpools,ride-hailing services,intra-campus freight,and deliveries.It is
assumed that the total volume of non-Genentech trips on DNA Way is likely between 60-120 trips per day.
Based on the above data,DNA Way,Point San Bruno Boulevard,and the short segment of Cabot Road are
essentially operating as internal roads within the Genentech Campus.In exchange for financial compensation to
the City,Genentech is requesting acquisition of the rights-of-way and that the City vacate these streets as public
roadways.The segments of existing roadways identified for acquisition and street vacation include the
following:
1.Approximately 4,930 linear feet of the DNA Way right-of way from East Grand Avenue to Forbes
Boulevard (approximately 6.78 acres at a 60-foot right-of-way width);
2.Approximately 720 linear feet of the Point San Bruno Boulevard right-of way from DNA Way to its cul-
de-sac terminus (approximately 1.1 acres at a 66-foot right-of-way width); and,
3.Approximately 512 linear feet of the Cabot Road right-of way from Allerton to DNA Way
(approximately 0.67 acres at a 57-foot right-of-way width)
The purchase and sale agreement for the roadways includes a requirement that the parties enter into a
maintenance and license agreement as a condition of closing.The maintenance and license agreement will
preserve public access on the rights-of-way in the near term and provide for a future appraisal and supplemental
payment for terminating public access to the Blue and Pink segments (illustrated in Figure 1).The maintenance
and license agreement will also provide utility and emergency vehicle access,as well as outline Genentech’s
ongoing maintenance obligations for the roads.Prior to Genentech closing any portion of the rights-of-way to
public access,Genentech will have to show how emergency access will continue to be accommodated.In all
scenarios,public access on DNA Way will remain available from East Grand Avenue to the Wind Harp Park
parcel.Genentech will also acquire all street improvements and pay all maintenance costs moving forward.The
City will retain ownership of storm drain and sewer infrastructure pursuant to a public utilities easement.The
obligations related to conducting a future appraisal and making supplemental payments prior to terminating
public access to the Blue and Pink segments as part of any future redevelopment are also memorialized in the
Purchase and Sale Agreement and Amendments to the Master Plan to ensure that these obligations are
incorporated into any consideration and approval of future development applications.
The following amenities will remain open and accessible to the public permanently after conveyance:
·Wind Harp Park.DNA Way will remain available for public access from East Grand Avenue to the
Wind Harp Park parcel.
·San Francisco Bay Trail and associated open space.The segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail along
the eastern edge of the Campus’waterfront will remain available for public access.The small parking
lot at the end of Forbes Boulevard near DNA Way would continue to allow vehicle access via Forbes
Boulevard,while bicycle access would be maintained via Forbes Boulevard and the parallel trail
through the Campus.The publicly accessible Bay Trail parking at the end of East Grand Avenue would

be unaffected.
Total Allowed Development Capacity within the Genentech Master Plan
The combined total area of acquired properties and street rights-of-way is approximately 18.3 acres,which
Genentech is requesting be added to the Genentech Master Plan and rezoned to the Genentech Master Plan
District.With the addition of these properties and rights-of-way to the Campus Master Plan Area,the total
Campus acreage will increase from 207 acres to approximately 225 acres.
In accordance with the 2020 Master Plan,Zoning Ordinance Chapter 20.360 (Genentech Master Plan District)
establishes general development principles and standards for the campus.The Genentech Master Plan District
includes the following subsection related to allowed development capacity within the district:
Subsection 20.360.003.J.Growth and Development Projections.Consistent with the projections analyzed
in the Environmental Impact Report for Genentech Campus Master Plan Update,development within the
approximately 207-acre Campus shall be limited to 9,008,000 square feet (an FAR of 1.0)and shall be
further regulated by a Trip Cap equivalent to a maximum of 5,216 total drive-alone trips arriving at the
Campus during the a.m.peak hour.This Trip Cap applies irrespective of the amount of net new
development,the mix and types of land uses that occur within the Campus over time,or the effectiveness of
TDM and other trip reduction efforts.The Trip Cap is a maximum,not-to-exceed number of potential drive-
alone vehicle trips,and will be counted annually via cordon count records along the main ingress and access
points to the Campus.
The additional acreage could allow Genentech to increase the overall built area within the campus.However,
Genentech does not propose to increase the potential buildout and development capacity of the Campus beyond
the 9,008,000 square feet as approved in the 2020 Master Plan.
ENTITLEMENTS APPLICATION
The 2025 Genentech Master Plan Amendments project is seeking the following entitlements,all discussed in
detail in the following sections:
·Approval of street vacations of DNA Way,Point San Bruno Blvd.,and Cabot Road within the
Genentech Campus Master Plan boundaries,and approving the sale of the street rights-of-way to
Genentech in the sum of $25,000,000, executed via a purchase and sale agreement.
·Genentech Master Plan Amendments to incorporate the new private parcels and to reflect the ability to
close the roadways to public-through traffic at some point in the future in accordance with the future
appraisal and supplemental payment obligations as applicable.
·General Plan Amendments to ensure internal consistency between the Genentech Master Plan and the
General Plan,which include changes to the designation of DNA Way in General Plan Mobility and
Access Element Figure 14 (Roadway Network Diagram)and Figure 16 (Truck Network and
Restrictions Diagram).
·Zoning Map Amendments to add the three new private properties and the vacated streets to the

·General Plan Conformity finding for Genentech’s acquisition of certain public rights-of-way within the
Genentech Campus.
·Approval of an Addendum to the 2020 Master Plan EIR and 2040 SSF General Plan Update EIR.
Purchase and Sale Agreement
A Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA)is required to effectuate the sale of the public right-of-way to
Genentech. The negotiated price and terms are as follows:
Price: $25,000,000 initially based on the following values:
·$20 million for the Orange Section (see Figure 1 in Executive Summary)based on 1.34 acres at $14.8
million per acre.This price per acre was based on a valuation commissioned by the City for an
undeveloped acre of land suitable for life science development that Healthpeak,a local life science
developer,conveyed to the City as a community benefit.That valuation identified comparable life
science land sales ranging from $7.2 million per acre to $15.7 million per acre and made a final
conclusion that the acre conveyed to the City was valued at $14.8 million.This transaction concluded as
price negotiations on the sale of DNA Way were commencing and was therefore used to determine the
value of the Orange Section - the portion Genentech intends to close and redevelop in the short term.
o Genentech would be able to close that portion of the street to public vehicles as early as 2026,as
part of an application to redevelop.
o Accessible to Genentech employees and guests only.
·$5 million for the Green,Blue,and Pink Sections (see Figure 1 in Executive Summary)based on value
as roadways.This value was based on appraisal conducted by Genentech,as well as recent roadway
appraisals commissioned by the City.
o The 4.29 acre Green Section remains as a street accessible to Genentech employees and the
public.
o The 2.16 acre Pink and 0.75 acre Blue Sections remain as streets accessible to the public until at
least December 31,2030.Beyond 2030,they could be potentially redeveloped as open space
and/or building(s).
o If,in the future,Genentech seeks to develop any portion of the Pink and Blue Sections and close
the roadways to public use,Genentech will pay an additional fee representing the Fair Market
Value of the land if used for the intended use after a mutually agreed upon appraisal process.The
Fair Market Value payment shall be no less than $14.8 million per acre.
Reserved License:Prior to closing of the conveyance under the Purchase and Sale Agreement,City and
Genentech shall execute a maintenance and license agreement which provides a license in favor of the City for
ingress,egress,utility,and ancillary purposes over the Orange,Green,Blue,and Pink Sections which reserved
rights shall consist of surface rights in favor of the City and the general public.Further,the maintenance and

rights shall consist of surface rights in favor of the City and the general public.Further,the maintenance and
license agreement shall outline Genentech’s ongoing maintenance obligations for the acquired property and
provide reimbursement to the City for performing Genentech’s maintenance obligations for an initial 5-year
period.City will be granted public utility easements to access any City-owned infrastructure and utilities that
remain in the roadways after conveyance.
Amendments to the Genentech Master Plan
As discussed above,the 2020 Master Plan includes the consideration of a shared-street concept whereby DNA
Way is scheduled for partial closure to general vehicle traffic during specified times of the day (such as between
the morning and afternoon peak traffic hours)and opened as a pedestrian-only environment with
accommodations for emergency vehicles and shuttle and bus access.Based on Genentech’s subsequent property
acquisitions and proposal to acquire the public streets internal to the campus boundaries,Genentech is
proposing amendments to the 2020 Master Plan to reflect these changes.The proposed amendments are located
within Chapter 3:Urban Design and Chapter 4:Transportation,Circulation,and Parking,as well as figures
throughout the document.
The proposed amendments are detailed in Exhibit A of the Associated Amendments Resolution.The obligations
related to conducting a future appraisal and making supplemental payments prior to terminating public access
to the Blue and Pink segments as part of any future redevelopment are also memorialized in the Amendments to
the Master Plan to ensure that these obligations are incorporated into any consideration and approval of future
development applications.
General Plan Amendments
Genentech has applied for a General Plan Amendment to ensure consistency with the amended Genentech
Master Plan, with the following minor changes to figures in the General Plan Mobility and Access Element:
·Figure 14:Roadway Network Diagram.Remove the “Existing Connector”designation for DNA Way
and Point San Bruno Blvd.Remove the “Existing Neighborhood”designation for Cabot Road within
the Genentech campus boundaries.
·Figure 16:Truck Network and Restrictions Diagram.Remove the “Truck Route”designation for DNA
Way and Point San Bruno Blvd.
With these requested amendments,the General Plan and the Genentech Master Plan will be consistent with one
another. The revisions to the General Plan are detailed in Exhibit B of the Associated Amendments Resolution.
Zoning Map Amendments
The Zoning Map amendment proposes to rezone the three private parcels from Business Technology Park -
Medium (BTP-M)to Genentech Master Plan District (GMP).The amendment would also zone the vacated
streets as GMP;currently,the streets have no zoning designation because they are public rights-of-way.The
revisions to the Zoning Map are detailed in Exhibit A of the Zoning Map Amendments Ordinance.

General Plan Conformance
In accordance with the provisions of State Planning Law (Govt.Code Section 65402),the Planning
Commission at its May 15,2025 meeting determined that the sale of real property by the City and the vacation
of public streets conforms with the adopted General Plan, as discussed below.
The General Plan Land Use designation for the overall Genentech campus is Business Technology Park.This
designation allows for campus-like environments for corporate headquarters,research and development
facilities,and offices.The allowed floor area ratio for this designation ranges from 0.5 up to 1.0 with
community benefits.
The General Plan contains overarching goals and related policy direction relevant to the sale and vacation of
the subject parcels, including:
·Land Use Element Goal LU-5:SSF remains a hub of R&D employment,operations,and innovation and
is home to the largest worldwide cluster of life science uses.
o Policy LU-5.5:Improve connectivity for R&D workforces.Maintain vehicular infrastructure and
improve circulation to accommodate the travel demand of existing and future workplaces.
o Policy LU-5.7: Collaboration with property owners.
·Land Use Subareas Element Goal SA-19:Vehicle trips are minimized through parking requirements,
Transportation Demand Management, and alternative travel modes.
·Prosperous Economy Element Goal PE-1:South San Francisco remains a premier location for
biotechnology and related industries.
·Mobility and Access Element Goal MOB-1:South San Francisco prioritizes safety in all aspects of
transportation planning and engineering.
The proposed sale of the road rights-of-way would have two main benefits:(1)Genentech would be able to
execute their Master Plan vision for a coordinated and connected upper campus that is entirely pedestrian-
oriented AND capitalize on parent company Roche investment in their future expansion
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In 2020,the City Council certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR)for the Genentech Master Plan
(Master Plan EIR),which evaluated the potential impacts of the proposed growth and additional employees
identified in the 2020 Master Plan.In 2022,the City Council certified an EIR for the South San Francisco 2040
General Plan Update,Zoning Code Amendments and Climate Action Plan (2040 GP EIR),which evaluated the
potential impacts and additional growth envisioned in the General Plan Update.Together,these two documents
are referred to as the Prior EIRs.
As part of this Project,an Addendum to the Prior EIRs was prepared to evaluate Genentech’s proposed
acquisition of certain public rights-of-way within the Genentech Campus and Genentech’s proposed rezoning
of properties to the Genentech Master Plan Zoning District.The primary conclusions of the Addendum are as

of properties to the Genentech Master Plan Zoning District.The primary conclusions of the Addendum are as
follows:
·The Project does not include any proposal for new Campus development,physical street removal,or
reconstruction within the Genentech Campus.Accordingly,the Project would have no construction-
related environmental impacts.
·The Project does not include any proposal for new Genentech operations.If the proposed rights-of-way
acquisitions by Genentech are approved,these streets will remain open to the public in the near term but
as private streets rather than public streets,and Genentech will have the right to close these streets to
public through traffic as part of future redevelopment approved by the City,provided that Genentech
maintains public access to the Wind Harp.
·No new development,redevelopment,or reuse of the six new properties proposed to be added to the
Campus is currently proposed, and the Project would have no operations-related environmental impacts.
·Although the Project would increase the acreage of properties within the Genentech Campus,Genentech
is not requesting an increase in the potential Campus buildout beyond the 9 million square feet assumed
in the 2020 Master Plan (which is based on an FAR of 1.0 times the overall Campus acreage).
Accordingly,the Project would have no new or potentially more severe cumulative environmental
impacts than previously disclosed in the prior 2020 Genentech Campus Master Plan EIR.
·The Project does not include any proposal for immediate closure of DNA Way,Point San Bruno
Boulevard,or the short segment of Cabot Road to public through travel.The Project does create the
potential that Genentech may decide to close Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of
Cabot Road,and the portion of DNA Way east of Wind Harp (hereafter referred to as partial closure of
DNA Way)to through traffic as part of future redevelopment,as indicated in the 2020 Genentech
Campus Master Plan.Although no street closures are included as part of the current Project,the
possibility of these street/partial street closures has been analyzed.The conclusion of this analysis is that
the potential for future closure/partial closure of these streets would have no new or more severe
environmental impacts than those previously disclosed in the prior Genentech Campus Master Plan EIR.
Based on these conclusions,an Addendum to the Prior EIRs is the appropriate CEQA documentation necessary
for the project as the project would not cause any new or substantially more significant environmental impacts.
AIRPORT LAND USE COMMISSION
The Genentech Campus is located approximately 1 mile north of the San Francisco Airport (SFO)and is
located within the Airport Influence Area B,the “Project Referral”area.California Government Code Section
65302.3 states that a local agency General Plan,Zoning Ordinance,and/or any affected specific plan must be
consistent with the applicable airport/land use criteria in the relevant adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility
Plan (ALUCP).Because the 2025 Genentech Master Plan Amendments project includes amendments to the
General Plan,Zoning Ordinance,and the Genentech Campus Master Plan,the proposed amendments were
required to be reviewed by the Airport Land Use Committee (ALUC) for consistency with the ALUCP.
The ALUC reviewed the project in June 2025.Because the project does not propose any more developmentCity of South San Francisco Printed on 6/18/2025Page 10 of 13

File #:25-397 Agenda Date:6/25/2025
Version:1 Item #:8.
The ALUC reviewed the project in June 2025.Because the project does not propose any more development
than proposed in the 2020 Genentech Master Plan or 2040 General Plan,the ALUC found that the project is
consistent with all airport /land use compatibility policies and criteria in the ALUCP.The ALUC resolutions
are attached to this staff report (Attachment 5).
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission reviewed this project at their May 15,2025 meeting.During discussion of the
project, the Commissioners had the following comments and questions:
·Would the City be setting a precedent by selling public roads to a private entity?Staff pointed out that
Genentech is a unique owner and entity in South San Francisco;their campus encompasses over 200
acres,and the public roads in question are completely within the Genentech campus boundary and used
almost exclusively by Genentech employees and visitors.No similar conditions currently exist with the
City.
·How would the vacated roads be assessed for tax purposes?Staff discussed this question with the
Office of the San Mateo County Assessor to discuss this item in more detail and will provide an update
at the City Council public hearing.
·How much money would the City be saving by divesting in these three public roads?According to
information provided by the Public Works Department,the City would save approximately $40,000
annually in staffing costs for maintenance work completed along the vacated rights-of-way.
The Planning Commission unanimously supported the project,and recommended approval to the City Council
with a vote of 5-0.As part of its review,the Planning Commission also made a determination of General Plan
Conformance,per State Code 65402.(Planning Commission Resolutions are included in Attachment 2 to this
staff report.)
FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive at least $25 million for the sale of the public roads to Genentech.In the future,this
amount could increase depending on the ultimate use of the vacated rights-of-way.
The proceeds from the sale of this property represent a one-time benefit to the City,as opposed to an ongoing
source of revenue that could be utilized for permanent programs or operations.Staff recommend that these
funds be utilized for an appropriate or critical one-time capital project or other purpose to be identified by the
City Council.Staff will return at a future date with an analysis of preliminary options and seeking City Council
action.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council follow the Planning Commission’s recommendations and take the

following actions:
1.Adopt a resolution making findings and a determination that,based on the 2025 Addendum,the project
is consistent with the adopted Genentech Master Plan Environmental Impact Report and the adopted
SSF 2040 General Plan Update,Zoning Code Amendments,and Climate Action Plan Environmental
Impact Report,and approval of the project would not necessitate the need for preparing a subsequent
environmental document pursuant to the criteria of CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
2.Adopt a resolution making findings and approving the street vacations of certain public rights-of-way
commonly known as DNA Way,Cabot Road,and Point San Bruno Boulevard located entirely within
the Genentech Campus.
3.Adopt a resolution approving the sale of DNA Way,Point San Bruno Boulevard,and a portion of Cabot
Road to Genentech in the sum of $25,000,000 and associated Purchase and Sale Agreement
memorializing such sale and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
4.Waive reading and introduce an Ordinance amending the South San Francisco Zoning Map to include
additional properties within the Genentech Master Plan District.
5.Adopt a resolution making findings and approving a General Plan Amendment and Genentech Campus
Master Plan Amendment.

South San Francisco Planning Application: Genentech Master Plan Update (Rezoning
and General Plan Amendment)
Project Description
Introduction
Since it was founded in 1976, Genentech has served as the biotechnology anchor of South San
Francisco. With approximately 9,000 employees working in South San Francisco, Genentech is
also the City's largest employer. The company's facility growth and development in South San
Francisco is guided by its 2020 Genentech Campus Master Plan and associated Development
Agreement. Genentech continues to meet or exceed its Master Plan obligations. Over the last
decade, Genentech has invested approximately $5 billion in its South San Francisco campus in
both infrastructure and capital projects and contributed significant community benefits to the City
of South San Francisco through its Development Agreement obligations.
The Master Plan continues to provide a useful framework for Genentech's growth, but planning
would be better integrated with the addition of properties owned or used by Genentech under
long-term lease. Recent and anticipated property acquisitions by Genentech necessitate
rezoning at this time, as the South San Francisco Zoning Code, containing provisions for the
Genentech Master Plan overlay district, anticipates the rezoning of properties that are
subsequently purchased or leased by Genentech. Additionally, conforming changes to the
General Plan and Master Plan are proposed in order to provide consistency between all
relevant planning documents.
2025 General Plan Amendment, Master Plan Amendment and Rezoning Request
The following properties are proposed to be added to the Master Plan and rezoned to the
Genentech Master Plan District:
● Owned:
○ The property located at 333 Point San Bruno Boulevard, APN 015-250-410,
consisting of approximately 0.5 acres and APN 015-250-140, consisting of
approximately 1.4 acres.
○ The property located at 525 DNA Way, APN 015-250-210, consisting of
approximately 3.1 acres.
● Future Ownership/Current Long-term Lease:
○ The property located at 383-393 East Grand Avenue, APN 015-250-390,
consisting of approximately 4.7 acres.
● Street Vacation
○ The segments of existing roadways identified for street vacation, including
approximately 1,238 linear feet or roadways, consisting of approximately 8.55
acres as shown in Figure 1 below.
108
This application does not include any new development or construction. The existing buildings
on properties that are being rezoned into the Master Plan may be repurposed for Genentech’s
use, but no redevelopment of these properties is currently proposed.
Similarly, Genentech does not have any pending project applications for new development
involving any of the rights-of-way of the proposed street acquisitions. Pursuant to this Project,
the existing streets at DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot
Road will remain, but as private streets primarily serving the Genentech Campus. Genentech is
not currently proposing removal or closure of these streets for public travel, but approval of the
requested street vacation would give Genentech the right to close these streets at Genentech’s
discretion (while maintaining public access to the Wind Harp).
The Genentech Master Plan requires that the following provisions be met for the addition of
property to the Genentech Master Plan zoning district (page 148 of the 2020 Master Plan):
● The acreage of any new property added to the Campus shall be aggregated with the
approximately 207 acres of existing Campus properties, and shall contribute to the
overall Campus FAR of 1.0.
● The AM peak hour vehicle trips attributed to any existing use of property added to the
Genentech Campus shall be added to the Trip Cap, but any future redevelopment that
generates an increase in vehicle trips shall be subject to the Trip Cap total of this Master
Plan Update (i.e., no net increase in AM peak hour vehicle trips).
● New properties added to the Genentech Campus shall be subject to the TDM goals and
requirements of this Master Plan Update.
● Parking requirements that apply to any new properties added to the Genentech Campus
shall conform to the parking rates of this Master Plan Update, based on the TDM rates
effective at the time the property is added. Parking requirements attributable to new
Campus properties may be met at off-site parking facilities within the Genentech
Campus.
● All other provisions of the Genentech Master Plan zoning district shall apply to any new
property added to the Campus.
With the addition of these properties to the Campus Master Plan Area, the total Campus
acreage will increase from 207 acres to 225.25 acres. While the addition of these properties
would increase the baseline of existing development included within the Master Plan District,
Genentech is not requesting an increase in the potential buildout beyond the 9 million square
feet assumed in the 2020 Master Plan. As stated on page 118 of the 2020 Campus Master Plan:
“...within the approximately 207-acre Campus shall be limited to 9,008,000 square feet (a FAR
of 1.0), and shall be further regulated by a Trip Cap equivalent to a maximum of 5,216 total
drive-alone trips arriving at the Campus during the AM peak hour”. While the proposed rezone
would increase the total campus acreage to 225.25 (resulting in a corresponding 422,530
square feet of development potential at an FAR of 1.0), Genentech does not propose to
increase the potential buildout and development capacity beyond the 9,008,000 square feet
approved in the 2020 Master Plan. Further, the additional sites will be subject to the TDM goals
for the Campus as well as comply with all parking and other provisions of the Genentech Master
Plan zoning district listed above. The proposed rezoning is consistent with all applicable
109
provisions for adding parcels to the Master Plan (see above excerpt of page 148 of the Master
Plan).
Conforming changes will need to be made throughout the General Plan and Master Plan to
reflect the new properties and baseline conditions. Proposed General Plan Amendments are
outlined in Exhibit A and the proposed Master Plan Amendments are outlined in Exhibit B.
Genentech's MEIR, which was updated and certified in November 2020, will not be affected by
these administrative Master Plan updates.
Attached to this application is a letter from the property owner of 383-393 East Grand Avenue
(East Grand Avenue, LLC) authorizing the filing of this planning application.
Environmental Assessment
The City of South San Francisco certified the Genentech Campus Master Plan EIR (SCH
#2017052064) on November 24, 2020 (Resolution 20-672). The 2020 Master Plan EIR
evaluated Genentech's vision for new growth and development within the 207-acre Genentech
Campus, including all environmental impacts associated with the overall buildout of
approximately 9 million square feet within the Campus Master Plan Area. The proposed actions
do not increase the potential buildout; rather, it adds new land area to the Master Plan area
while maintaining the 9 million square foot building envelope that was approved by the City in
the 2020 Campus Master Plan update. The proposed actions are consistent with the
development program established in the 2020 Genentech Master Plan, which was accompanied
by the 2020 Genentech Campus Master Plan EIR. Please refer to Exhibit C for a complete
Environmental Analysis for the proposed action.

File #:25-396 Agenda Date:5/15/2025
Version:1 Item #:4b
2.The revisions to the General Plan Figures that are set forth in Exhibit A will remove road designations
for DNA Way,Point San Bruno Blvd and a portion of Cabot Road because they will no longer be public
roads.The changes are consistent and compatible with the rest of the General Plan,and also ensure
consistency with the Genentech Master Plan.
3.As required under State law,the South San Francisco General Plan,and the South San Francisco
Municipal Code,in support of the General Plan Amendments,the proposed General Plan Amendments
are otherwise consistent with and in conformity with the South San Francisco General Plan,do not
obstruct or impede achievement of any General Plan policies,and further a number of important
General Plan Goals and Policies set forth in the Land Use,Planning Sub-Areas,Prosperous Economy
and Mobility and Access Elements, including without limitation:
Land Use Element

PE Goal 1:South San Francisco remains a premier location for biotechnology and related
industries.
Mobility and Access Element
MOB Goal 1:South San Francisco prioritizes safety in all aspects of transportation planning and
engineering.
C.2025 Genentech Master Plan Amendment Findings
1.The 2025 Genentech Master Plan Amendments,referenced as Exhibit A,continue to implement and be
consistent with the General Plan,as proposed for amendment,because the Master Plan continues to
reinforce many of the General Plan policies related to the East of 101 Sub-Area,including Goals and
Policies set forth in the Land Use,Planning Sub-Areas,and Mobility and Access Elements.
Furthermore,the 2025 Genentech Master Plan Amendments do not conflict with any specific plans and
will remain consistent with the City’s overall vision for the East of 101 sub-area.The 2025 Genentech
Master Plan Amendments will not conflict with or impede achievement of any of the goals,policies,or
land use designations established in the General Plan.
2.The 2025 Genentech Master Plan Amendments will not be detrimental to the public interest,health,
safety,convenience,or welfare of the City because the 2025 Genentech Master Plan Amendments do
not alter any of the previously adopted development,land use,and performance standards related to
City of South San Francisco Printed on 5/9/2025Page 4 of 6
powered by Legistar™124
File #:25-396 Agenda Date:5/15/2025
Version:1 Item #:4b
not alter any of the previously adopted development,land use,and performance standards related to
new development or alteration.More specifically,the 2025 Genentech Master Plan Amendments reflect
the inclusion of new private parcels and the ability for future closure of DNA Way,Point San Bruno
Blvd and a portion of Cabot Road to public through traffic.
3.The Genentech Master Plan area,as evaluated in the Genentech 2020 Master Plan EIR (State
Clearinghouse No.2017052064)and confirmed in the 2025 Addendum,is physically suitable for the
proposed land use designation(s)and the anticipated development since the area is well served by multi-
modal transportation options,private commuter shuttle options,existing infrastructure and utilities,and
other public services as identified for further investment as part of the Genentech Master Plan’s
implementation.
4.The 2025 Genentech Master Plan Amendments does not make any changes to the development and
design standards adopted within the 2020 Master Plan,and therefore will continue to be superior to
development otherwise allowed under conventional zoning classifications since the Genentech 2020
Master Plan provides additional development and design standards to promote high density life sciences
development,and concurrently,proposes enhancements to circulation,parking,utilities,and public
services to accommodate anticipated growth within the employment districts.
D.Zoning Map Amendment Findings
1.The proposed Zoning Map amendments are consistent with the SSF 2040 General Plan,as proposed for
amendment,because the Zoning Map amendments will add new properties to the Genentech Master
Plan District in accordance with allowed provisions.Further,the Zoning Map amendments do not
conflict with any specific plans and will implement the city’s overall vision for redevelopment within
the Genentech Campus Master Plan.None of the new or revised definitions,tables,figures and land
uses will conflict with or impede achievement of any of the goals,policies,or land use designations
established in the General Plan as proposed for amendment.
2.The Zoning Ordinance Update meets all the requirements as contained in Planning and Zoning Law
(Government Code sections 65800-65912).
3.The proposed Zoning Map Amendments,including the proposed changes to the Genentech Master Plan
District,are not detrimental to the use of land in any adjacent zone because the Zoning Map
Amendments would provide for sufficient development,land use,and performance standards related to
new development or alteration
SECTION 2. DECISION
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of South San
Francisco hereby makes the findings contained in this Resolution and (1)makes a determination that the
conveyance of certain public rights-of-way within the Genentech Campus is in conformance with the South San

Dear Chair Faria and South San Francisco Planning Commissioners,
On behalf of the San Mateo County Central Labor Council, I am writing to express our
support for the proposed updated Master Plan in South San Francisco.
As the San Mateo County organization of 103 affiliated unions representing over 95,000
hardworking members and their families, the San Mateo County Central Labor Council is
committed to advancing policies that promote economic development, protect good union
jobs, and support the long-term vitality of our communities. The update aligns with these
goals by enabling strategic growth and reinvestment in South San Francisco’s life sciences
sector, one of our region's most critical economic engines.
We recognize that the proposed update involves the privatization of DNA Way — a public
street that has long served as a thoroughfare in the east of 101 area. While we do not take
any move to privatize public assets lightly, we also acknowledge this plan's unique context
and importance. With careful consideration, we believe the rezoning can be accomplished
to ensure continued access, public safety, and transparency while allowing for responsible
and innovative development that will create high-quality union construction jobs, expand
career opportunities, and increase the city’s long-term tax base.
We urge the Planning Commission to proceed with the rezoning application while
continuing to work closely with stakeholders to address community concerns, maintain
public benefits, and ensure that South San Francisco remains a city where both businesses
and working families can thrive.
Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration of this critical matter.
Sincerely,

RE: GENENTECH UPDATED MASTER PLAN
Dear Chair Funes-Ozturk & South San Francisco Planning Commissioners,
On behalf of the San Mateo County Building and Construction Trades Council, I
am writing to express our support for the proposed rezoning of DNA Way.
As the representative body for ten thousand skilled union construction workers
across San Mateo County, our mission is to advocate for responsible
development that brings high-road jobs, strengthens local economies, and
builds a better future through the career pathways of apprenticeship for workers
and their families. The proposed updated Master Plan presents such an
opportunity — one that will allow for thoughtful growth and continued investment
in South San Francisco’s thriving life sciences corridor.
We understand that this update involves the sensitive issue of privatizing a
public roadway. While we believe public assets must be handled with great
care, we also recognize that in this case, the potential benefits — including
enhanced infrastructure, improved site planning, and the creation of quality
union construction jobs — merit serious consideration. With strong oversight
and a clear commitment to public access, safety, and transparency, we are
confident that the city can strike the right balance.
Our members stand ready to build the next generation of facilities that will drive
innovation and opportunity in South San Francisco while ensuring that those
projects are built to the highest standards by a skilled and trained, local union
workforce.
We respectfully urge the Planning Commission to approve the updated Master
Plan and to do so with a continued focus on equity, partnership, and long-term
community benefit.
Sincerely,
Bart M. Pantoja

Oppose
City Council members and staff,
Other than wanting to repeat Tom Carney comments, I have my own.
I oppose the all agreements and ordinances leading to the sale, licensing or sale of any
SSF-owned properties, streets, roadways and right-of-ways to Genentech Corporation. I
also oppose amendments to the General Plan and the GMP and GMP Zoning District. The
fact that you may be violating the law in the procedures setting forth the proposed actions
is just assumed.
I have just returned from driving the roadways that are mentioned in the reports, maps and
resolutions on the June 25 agenda. I am appalled the City Council is contemplating such an
agreement – to sell OUR public land and roadways to a private corporation. A corporation
for which some council members hold stock. The agreement not only accommodates
Genentech pretty much owning that full acreage as outlined in the maps, it also closes or
inhibits some PUBLIC ACCESS to the Bay. Please listen to the residents of your city – the
ones who have invested their lives, their livelihood in SSF, the same residents whose taxes
pay your salary. That is the insult...you are selling public land to private ownership without a
vote of the people.
Have you driven those roadways? I see the beneflt of Genentech ownership; I also
understand the beneflts to SSF. THE MOST EGREGIOUS STATEMENTS OF THE BENEFITS OF
THE SALE, HOWEVER, ARE IN GENENTECH'S SLIDE PRESENTATION:
The street(s) vacation -
“PROVIDES UNRESTRICTED FUNDS THROUGH THE TRANACTION TO ADDRESS CITY
PRIORITIES” (I assume this is the $25M for which there will be no accountability)
and
“IMPLEMENTS THE MASTER PLAN THOURH PEDESTRIAN-FOCUSED INFILL
DEVELOPMENT AND HIGH-QUALITY CAMPUS OPEN SPACES”
The pedestrians are Genentech and biotech employes, it is for private use, not necessarily
the public...who have paid taxes for decades. Not public open spaces, but
Genentech/biotech open spaces.
If for some unreasonable, unconscionable reason the city council approves this
transaction for the bargain sale price of $25 million ($25 million, really?!, you have been
had. Get another appraisal. You are SO underselling our city, underselling our streets
(which you shouldn’t be selling to begin with) to the tune of total mismanagement of the
city’s budget. Take another drive through the map's roadways (I encourage everyone to do
so) and see how insane this proposal is. You're selling OUR streets and for cheap cheap
cheap.

Dear city council I am writing to you as a very long time resident of south San Francisco.
I object to the selling of public property not following state and federal laws. The removal of
access to any public roads, trails, open space, bay waters. As you are aware in district flve
we are very underserved and our city as a whole is lacking in parks, open spaces and public
trails.
You may recall back in 2024 I spoke at a public but held privately at city hall 4.30 on a Friday
with little to no notiflcation to the public. It was only one party buying?. No transparency
that I could see. Also no follow up to the public of prices, location, parcel numbers to date.
The guide lines below outline procedures you should follow but have not. I believe this item
needs to be removed for the city council meeting tonight. In regards to short falls in city
budgets. Maybe you should have public open discussions with serial tax evaders east of
101. As a city council all corporations and businesses should pay their fair share of taxes as
outlined by San Mateo county and district attorneys office who is flghting the non tax
payers. Once county collects the tax it comes back to south San Francisco budgets and our
school district. Taxes should not be only on the residents and as a city council you should
be acting in the best interests of South San Francisco residents and city.
I am asking city clerk to enter my letter comments in to public record and attach to item
property sales.
Thank you.
Tom Carney
State guidelines for selling public property generally involve determining if the property is
truly surplus, followed by a public process to ensure transparency and fair market value.
This often includes public notice, bidding, and appraisal procedures.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Determination of Surplus Property:
• States and cities often have speciflc criteria for identifying property as surplus, such as
being no longer needed for public purposes or being difficult to manage.
• This often involves a formal review process, sometimes with public input, to assess the
property's continued need for public use.
2. Public Notice and Bidding:
Public Notice: Once identifled as surplus, the property must be advertised for sale, often
through a newspaper of general circulation or other public channels.
Public Bidding: Generally, the property is sold through a competitive bidding process, with
sealed bids submitted to the relevant authority.
3. Appraisal and Fair Market Value:
• Appraisal: An independent appraisal is typically required to determine the fair market
value of the property.
• Highest and Best Price: The sale is usually awarded to the highest and best qualifled
bidder, ensuring the state receives fair market value.

This is the beginning of the end for South San Francisco and its residents...selling our
public land to multi-billion dollar corporation Genentech.
Why?
Listening again to Ms. Karen Chang's presentation, we have big problems in our city and it
begins with this city council and executive city staff -- ever since Sharon Ranals became
city manager, supervisors each have an "assistant", and that was never needed, the "need"
for deputy city managers and city manager assistants, unbridled spending on pet projects
and unmonitored credit cards, city-owned vehicles for use outside city limits, fuel costs
and bridge costs, a contracted city attorney doing the elected city clerk's job checking
PRRs and asking for more funding, and I haven't even talked about the condition of our
neighborhoods and lack of services, but the residents who pay these salaries, pensions,
and beneflts?
We get ignored, name called, but thank goodness for the SSF Citizens Coalition who
learned, through our efforts to Save our Beloved MSB Senior Community Building, that the
problems lie with this city council and executive city staff.

Dear SSF City Council,
I respectfully submit a public comment regarding City Council’s June 25, 2025 Agenda
Meeting, Agenda Item 8.25-397.
By this email, I formally submit my opposition to this sale of our public streets to
Genentech Corporation.
I understand a separate and private meeting was held on Friday, May 17, 2025, between
this Council, our City Manager, and City Attorney and Genetech Corporation to negotiate
the terms of the sale of South San Francisco public land with no public notices and no
other bids depriving SSF residents the opportunity to give input on whether this sale
beneflts the public good.
As all city council members and Bassam Shihadeh, Planning Commisioner, has either
accepted campaign donations or has received direct income from Genentech, or a
competitor biotech company, the clandestine negotiation on behalf of the City of South
San Francisco creates a confiict of interest. The sale price states to have been determined
in part by a separate valuation for a different parcel of land that was conveyed to SSF; and
in part by Genentech themselves. Is that the typical protocol for land valuation in
acquisition of public lands?
I realize the sale of three streets that intersect through the Genentech campus is likely a
means to defray ongoing maintenance obligations currently borne by SSF. But the
legislation also states Genentech may in time close these roads to public access with little
more than a future appraisal and a supplemental payment. If access to Wind Harp is
further limited by those street closures, we are effectively giving them more than three
roads. Genentech continues to grow their own private city within our borders. Curious this
behemoth’s presence doesn’t seem to help our budget deflcits.
With budgetary constraints likely to carry forward to future years, the interest to complete
this transaction may seem sensible, but public-owned land sales of such magnitude
should not be decided in isolation by officials with apparent confiicts of interest.
I copy Ms. Acosta for submission into public record.
Sincerely,
L. Katherine Kala Acosta

Do not sell off our city property to anyone! This is our city paid for by the taxes we have paid
for 40 years. We are not for sale to anyone or any company! Do your jobs and stop spending
outrageous amounts of money on things that are not necessary! Next we will be voting you
out of office! Your salaries are the highest on the peninsula and we are the smallest
population. STOP the ridiculous spending! An outside pool in this weather!!! CRAZY!

Council, our streets belong to us and we pay taxes for their upkeep. This should be
addressed abd discussed at a public hearing not given as a token to Genentec. They don't
seem to pay taxes we or SMateo County are owed so they should NOT BE ENTITLED to buy
our streets. How dare you put a company before your constituents but that's your modus
operandi. Thank you. Barbara Erhard

Administrations of the past knew full well that indiscriminately selling off city properties is a
"fools errand." Why? You can only sell them once and that is why SSF's government opted
for long term leases which keep the properties in city inventory. Mr. Addiego is well aware of
this practice but for some reason has now chosen to abandon it with the support of his
colleagues. You all will, and have, made Genentech proud at the city's expense.

This statement is in strong opposition to the sale of public streets to private entities without
the knowledge or consent of the community. Public streets belong to the people and serve
the common good, ensuring access, mobility, and public safety. Any transfer of public land
into private hands should require full transparency, public notice, and meaningful
community input.
Decisions made behind closed doors undermine public trust and threaten the democratic
process.

9.88% and lets take into consideration the hike in sewer tax you guy snuck in when you had
a meeting at 2pm on a Tuesday afternoon to approve it (we all know you did it then so
people wouldn't attend) because we are a working class community, at least some of us.

I do not support our SSF planning Commission idea of selling to Genentech or any other
CORPORATION OR COMPANY OUR PRIVATE STREETS OR LAND. We the SSF taxpayers are
not supporting any plan to gain monies from a Corporation in this manor.
It’s appalling that the SSF Council and Planning Commission think they can just override
the citizens who pay high taxes, very high salaries to the appointed officials who lack
supporting the very people who live in our community.

The fact that tis is being considered is troubling, why would public streets be sold? Why
would it be done making attempts to keep the fact they are being sold away from the
taxpayers who's money went to build the streets and keep them up? It's clear our city has
people in charge who are not thinking of the duty they took an oath to uphold rather they
think of themselves flrst. Our council when confronted with facts either will not address the
residents or passes the buck to our totally incompetent, overpaid city manager, who by the
way has no problem ignoring or confronting residents rather than actually addressing their
concerns. Its also clear that our elected officials (at least a majority) are all united to
defended themselves against the people who their terrible decisions affect rather than do
the job they were elected to do. This includes our council, school board and city clerk, not
to mention the appointed positions like city manager and the entire planning commission.
It's not like the residents don't see what you are doing and if you keep doing it how will it
feel when you walk down the street in your home town people will frown rather than smile
when they see you, because of the decisions you have made.

I believe you are in violation of the Brown Act when the "reveal" of your closed session
negotiations for the sale of public properties is the actual vote on the item. You have
evaded public debate and are taking unilateral action without the input of the resident
owners of the properties. Apparently you see the democratic process as an inconvenience
when others see it as a right. To those of you who have taken liberties with the property
assets of the City of South San Francisco, for historical reference, know that SSF used to
never liquidate their inventory of properties instead opting for long term leases. You wanna'
know why? Because you can only sell them once! I suggest you put off your vote on the sale
of the properties to your special interest masters pending public debate.

As a young South City resident, 27 years old to be exact, I do not support our resources
being abused and taken away from HARD WORKING TAX PAYERS. It is already challenging
enough to save for a home of my own and make ends meet given that I am already in my
profession as a therapist. To privatize land that the CITIZENS have paid to maintain and
build, this absolutely deceptive. The lack of transparency by the city officials is
unacceptable.

have lived and paid taxes in South San Francisco for over 40 years. We do not approve of
the way this City Counsel and our City Manager is handling their jobs. They are working for
big business instead of the taxpayers that pay their salaries.

The thought that public land would be sold without consent of the residents is absurd. Is it
because our city council has been spending money like a bunch of drunken sailors? They
have made bad decision after worse decision. We are being taxed to death and with the
idea of a new tax being put on the next ballot for a parcel tax? If this was a single person
making these decisions I would guess they either had a drug or gambling problem. We
(SSF) are in so much debt we have to sell our streets? Wake up we are all watching, we all
see it, do the right thing for the people you are supposed to be representing, don't censor
us listen to us. Put you political ambition second and your constituents flrst, for once, and
by all means stop wasting our money, it's not there for your pet projects it's to help the
community.

and
Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report for the Genentech Master Plan
State Clearinghouse Numbers: SCH # 2021020064 and SCH #2017052064
Executive Summary
The City of South San Francisco (SSF) has prepared this Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report
for the South San Francisco 2040 General Plan Update, Zoning Code Amendments and Climate Action
Plan (2040 GP EIR) and the EIR for the Genentech Master Plan (Master Plan EIR), together cited as the
Prior EIRs. The purposes of this Addendum are to update the Project Description included in each of
those Prior EIRs to include new details regarding Genentech’s proposed acquisition of certain public
rights-of-way within the Genentech Campus (including DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and Cabot
Road), the potential closure of these roads for public access, and Genentech’s proposed rezoning of six
properties to be added to the Genentech Master Plan. This Addendum to the Genentech Master Plan
EIR assesses the potential environmental effects associated with these actions. In preparing this EIR
Addendum, the City of South San Francisco has evaluated the potential acquisition of these street rights-
of-way and the public service easement on either side of the right-of-way, and the addition of these new
properties in light of the analysis in these Prior EIRs.
The primary conclusions of this CEQA Addendum are as follows:
• The Project does not include any proposal for new Campus development, street removal or
reconstruction within the Genentech Campus. Accordingly, the Project would have no
construction-related environmental impacts.
• The Project does not include any proposal for new Genentech operations. If the proposed rights-
of-way acquisitions by Genentech are approved, these streets will remain open to the public in
the near term but as private streets rather than public streets, and Genentech will have the right
to close these streets to public through traffic at its own discretion, providing that Genentech
maintains public access to the Wind Harp.
• No new development, redevelopment or reuse of the six new properties proposed to be added
to the Campus is currently proposed, and the Project would have no operations-related
environmental impacts.
• Although the Project would increase the acreage of properties within the Genentech Campus,
Genentech is not requesting an increase in the potential Campus buildout beyond the 9 million
square feet as assumed in the 2020 Master Plan (which is based on an FAR of 1.0 times the
overall Campus acreage). Accordingly, the Project would have no new or potentially more
severe cumulative environmental impacts than previously disclosed in the prior 2020 Genentech
Campus Master Plan EIR.
• The Project does not include any proposal for immediate closure of DNA Way, Point San Bruno
Boulevard or the short segment of Cabot Road to public through travel. The Project does create
153
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 2
the potential that Genentech may decide to close Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short
segment of Cabot Road, and the portion of DNA Way east of Wind Harp (hereafter referred to as
partial closure of DNA Way) to through traffic, as indicated in the 2020 Genentech Campus
Master Plan. Although no street closures are included as part of the current Project, the
possibility of these street/partial street closures has been analyzed. The conclusions of this
analysis is that the potential for future closure/partial closure of these streets would have no
new or more severe environmental impacts than those previously disclosed in the prior
Genentech Campus Master Plan EIR.
Based on these conclusions, an Addendum to these Prior EIRs is the appropriate CEQA documentation
necessary for the Project. This document serves as that CEQA Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan
EIR and the Genentech Master Plan EIR.

Background
South San Francisco 2040 General Plan Update
In October of 2022 the City of South San Francisco adopted the South San Francisco 2040 General Plan
Update, Zoning Code Amendments and Climate Action Plan (SSF 2040 GP). The SSF 2040 GP presents
South San Francisco’s vision for the next two decades and provides, “a roadmap for the City to
implement policies and actions that create a resilient community, improve the quality of life of its
residents, and expand economic development opportunities.”1
Mobility and Access Element
Street Typology
Relevant to the proposed Project, the Mobility and Access Element of the SSF 2040 GP categorizes
streets in South San Francisco into five typologies: Boulevards, Connectors, Downtown Main Streets,
Industrial, and Neighborhood Streets. The SSF 2040 GP’s Roadway Network Map (see Figure 1)
illustrates the City’s street network.
As shown in Figure 1, DNA Way from East Grand Avenue to Forbes Boulevard is identified as an existing
Connector/Collector Street, and Point San Bruno Boulevard from DNA Way to East Grand Avenue is
identified as a combination of an existing and potential future Connector Road. Cabot Road, from
Allerton Avenue to DNA Way is identified as an existing Local Industrial Roadway.
• The Mobility and Access Element defines Connector/Collector streets as primary or secondary
streets within the City that serve as corridors to major destinations. These streets are designed
to provide mobility space for all travelers (vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders).
They also provide access to major destinations and denser residential or commercial areas, and
can accommodate moderate volumes of travelers. Connector streets generally have two travel
lanes, sometimes with short four-lane segments or a center left turn lane. Connectors have
sidewalks and provide on-street bicycle facilities and/or on-street parking.
• The Mobility and Access Element defines Local Industrial streets as similar to neighborhood
streets (typically two travel lanes and on-street parking, if street widths permit), but designed to
serve the needs of manufacturing and goods movement businesses that need access by larger
and heavier vehicles. Common vehicles often include vans, single unit trucks, and smaller semi-
trucks. Industrial streets may have two vehicle lanes, and occasionally wider lane widths to
accommodate larger vehicles.
The Mobility and Access Element also illustrates the South San Francisco truck network, which
differentiates streets that are designed to accommodate large freight trucks. These streets typically
require designing for larger vehicles, including lane configurations, curb radii and pavement types. The
truck network is expected to evolve over time as land uses change, but both DNA Way and Point San
Bruno Boulevard are identified as existing Truck Routes.

Key Issues and Opportunities
The SSF 2040 GP Mobility and Access Element identifies a number of key issues, opportunities and policy
positions relevant to transportation within the broader East of 101 Area, including the Genentech
Campus. These include the following:
• Matching Transportation Needs and Infrastructure: As South San Francisco continues to
experience growth and change, its transportation needs are increasingly mismatched with the
infrastructure and services constructed years ago to support “the Industrial City.” This mismatch
is especially apparent in the East of 101, Lindenville and the El Camino Real sub-areas, where
large auto-oriented streets are increasingly at-odds with higher density developments more
oriented toward walking, biking and transit use.
• Reshaping Travel Patterns: South San Francisco is uniquely positioned to capitalize on several
regional transportation improvements that can help reshape travel patterns for residents and
employees. These projects include planned service expansions by Caltrain, SamTrans, and San
Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA), along with the new
Caltrain station providing a more direct connection to Downtown and the East of 101 sub-area.
These changes present opportunities to reduce vehicle miles traveled and shift vehicle trips
(especially longer distance commute trips) to transit. In order to realize the full potential of
these projects, South San Francisco will need to prioritize walkable station areas along with
first/last mile improvements that connect residents and employers with regional transit via
shuttles and active transportation facilities. Such improvements are particularly critical for the
East of 101 and Lindenville areas, where it is important for buses and shuttles to provide fast,
direct and reliable connections separated from traffic congestion and delays.
• Fast and Reliable Bus and Shuttle Operations: As the city grows, the transit network is expected
to evolve over time. In particular, South San Francisco is expected to see a substantial increase
in Caltrain service in the coming years as the agency implements its Business Plan service vision,
while ferry, bus, and shuttle service is also expected to grow to meet the city’s changing needs.
The city can support increased regional transit service via pursuing access improvements to its
stations and orienting employer transportation demand management programs around these
services. The city can also support fast and reliable bus and shuttle operations by implementing
improvements such as transit signal priority, bulb-outs and in-lane bus stops, and bus-only
lanes, particularly on its transit priority corridors.
• Eliminating All Injury Collisions: South San Francisco’s ‘Vision Zero’ intends to eliminate all injury
collisions on roadways. To achieve this vision, tradeoffs to prioritize safety will need to be made,
such as reducing vehicle speed limits on local streets or allotting more street space to vulnerable
users in the form of bikeways and sidewalks.
The SSF 2040 GP Mobility and Access Element anticipates that the city will need roughly $1 billion to
$1.2 billion in transportation upgrades over the next two decades to support buildout of the General
Plan, modernizing South San Francisco’s transportation system, and providing people with more choices
in how they travel within the city and region.2 It also presumes that the city will need to ‘right-size’ the
city’s transportation infrastructure by adding new streets and trail connections while phasing out
vestiges of the past, such as the city’s freight rail spurs.3 The Mobility and Access Element concludes that

Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 6
by building a more multi-modal transportation network, South San Francisco can achieve a safe,
multimodal, sustainable, livable and connected City.
Land Use & Community Design Element
The Land Use Element identifies an important Subarea of the City as the East of 101 Subarea, which
covers all parts of the city that lie to the east of Highway 101. This Subarea covers over 1,600 acres, is
defined by large parcels and is bordered on the east by the San Francisco Bay. The East of 101 subarea
primarily contains employment-generating land uses such as office, life science and other R&D uses,
logistics, food processing, manufacturing and other industrial uses. Most life science uses are located
north of East Grand Avenue, with the Genentech campus being the largest corporate campus in East of
101.
Key Issues and Opportunities
The SSF 2040 GP Land Use & Community Design Element and the land Use Subarea Element identify a
number of key issues, opportunities and policy positions relevant to land use within the broader East of
101 Area, including the Genentech Campus. These include the following:
• Promote Urban Campus-Style Life Science Uses. Promote campus-style R&D uses for life science
and other innovative companies
• Community Gathering Spaces: Develop community-gathering spaces including plazas and pocket
parks, near mobility hubs. Work with developers and property owners (including BART and
Caltrain) near high-quality transit stops to provide community amenities, including privately-
owned public open spaces, plazas, community gardens, recreational spaces, seating, lighting,
public restrooms, water fountains, and other amenities for public use.
• Reduce Reliance on Automobiles in East of 101: Evaluate implementation of “mobility hubs,”
which are places where different travel networks (including walking, biking, transit, and shared
mobility) meet and provide convenient connections to destinations at the Caltrain Station, South
San Francisco BART Station, and the South San Francisco Ferry Terminal.
• Maintain Roadway Connections: Maintain roadways within East of 101 and foster connectivity
between East of 101 and the rest of South San Francisco.
• Maintain High-Quality Design and Development Standards (Policy LU-5.2): Maintain high-quality
design and development standards for R&D companies that support a mix of larger, higher-
intensity campuses.
• Require Campus Open Space (Policy LU-5.3): Require significant public and private open space
and outdoor amenities. Work with development projects to provide publicly accessible, private
open space as part of their site plans.
• Improve Connectivity for R&D Workforces (Policy LU-5.5): Maintain vehicular infrastructure and
improve circulation to accommodate the unique demands for R&D workplaces.
• Collaboration with Property Owners (Policy LU-5.7): Collaborate with property owners and
private developers to define collective action to achieve plan goals.
The SSF 2040 GP Land Use & Community Design Element designates the Genentech Campus as
“Genentech Master Plan”, a private campus with corporate headquarters, research and development
facilities and offices. It also refers to the Genentech Campus Master Plan for more details.

SSF 2040 General Plan Program EIR
Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA, the City of South San Francisco circulated a Draft EIR for the General
Plan Update (the SSF 2040 GP Draft EIR) from June 24 through August 9, 2022. After the close of the
public review period, the City of South San Francisco prepared a Final EIR consisting of the comments
received on significant environmental issues. In September of 2022, the City prepared a Final EIR for the
SSF 2040 General Plan Update, Zoning Code Amendments and Climate Action Plan. Prior to adopting the
SSF 2040 General Plan, the City certified this EIR (SSF 2040 GP EIR, State Clearinghouse No.
2021020064).
The SSF 2040 GP EIR is considered a Program EIR per CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168 and 15183. As
such, subsequent activities pursuant to the SSF 2040 GP are subject to requirements under each of
these CEQA Guidelines sections, including applicable mitigation measures identified in the SSF 2040 GP
EIR to address potential cumulative environmental effects. The SSF 2040 GP EIR determined that
development consistent with the SSF 2040 General Plan would primarily result in impacts that would be
less than significant or reduced to a less than significant level with the implementation of General Plan
policies and/or mitigation measures identified in that SSF 2040 General Plan EIR.
Significant unavoidable impacts were identified in the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR for the following
environmental topics:
• Implementation of the SSF 2040 General Plan would conflict with or obstruct implementation of
the applicable air quality plan
• Implementation of the SSF 2040 General Plan would result in a cumulatively considerable net
increase of criteria pollutants for which the region is nonattainment under applicable federal or
State ambient air quality standards
• Implementation of the SSF 2040 General Plan would conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA
Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b) regarding vehicle miles traveled (VMT)
Due to the potential for significant unavoidable impacts, a Statement of Overriding Considerations was
adopted as part of the City’s approvals of the SSF 2040 General Plan.

2020 Genentech Campus Master Plan
In 2020, the City of South San Francisco adopted the 2020 Genentech Campus Master Plan (Master
Plan). The Master Plan articulates a vision for new growth and development within the 207-acre
Genentech Campus. It serves as a general guide for future placement and design of individual buildings
and other Campus improvements, and its development program provides a basis for future project
approvals. The Master Plan provides the City and Genentech with flexibility to implement the Master
Plan on a project-by-project basis such that new elements of the Campus will maintain or exceed the
high standards of design and construction that Genentech has already established at the Campus. The
Master Plan also served as the basis for changes and amendments to the City’s Zoning Ordinance to
ensure consistency and reliability between the Master Plan and the City’s Genentech Master Plan
District zoning regulations.
159
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 8
A fundamental land use objective of the Genentech Campus Master Plan is to accommodate a
responsible level of Campus growth and development that is consistent with the City’s land-use policies
and regulations, but that secures Genentech’s ability to grow. Important provisions of the Master Plan
related to Campus growth and development include the following.
• The Master Plan establishes a facility-wide development standard of a maximum FAR of 1.0
times the total area of all lots within the Master Plan, providing for a buildout potential of the
approximately 207-acre Campus of just over 9 million square feet, or an anticipated future
construction of approximately 4.3 million square feet of net new building space.
• The Master Plan recognizes that development of building space by land use type may vary over
time, and permits flexibility in order to allow Genentech to respond most efficiently to its
business needs, as long as the Campus-wide FAR is not exceeded.
• The Master Plan recognizes several smaller neighborhood campuses (the Lower, Mid, Upper,
West and South campus) as organizing elements of the overall Genentech Campus.
Neighborhood campuses may emphasize a primary function or use, or may contain a more
complex “campus-within-a-Campus” complete with offices, labs, amenity space and
manufacturing capabilities.
• The Master Plan identifies numerous Opportunity Sites where new development or
redevelopment was considered most likely to occur. These Opportunity Sites generally
represent surface parking lots, outmoded buildings, undeveloped infill sites and undeveloped
hillside areas.
• The Master Plan recognizes that DNA Way is the main public street to the Genentech Campus,
but raised the possibility of closing DNA Way through the Upper Campus to create a more
pedestrian-oriented place in the center of the Campus where people are prioritized over
vehicles.
• The Master Plan commits to an expansion of the capacity of Genentech’s currently robust TDM
program, commensurate with new development. The Master Plan establishes a relationship
between TDM performance and net new development.
2020 Genentech Campus Master Plan EIR
The City of South San Francisco prepared and circulated a Draft EIR for the Genentech Campus Master
Plan (Master Pan EIR). The public review and comment period on the Master Plan Draft EIR was from
November through the end of December 2019. During that public review and comment period, the City
of South San Francisco held a public hearing before the City Planning Commission on December 19,
2019. After the close of the public review period, the City of South San Francisco prepared a Final EIR
consisting of the comments received on significant environmental issues. In May of 2020, the City
prepared a Final EIR for the Genentech Master Plan.
Prior to adopting the Genentech Master Plan in January 2020, the City certified the Master Plan EIR
(State Clearinghouse No. 2017052064) and adopted CEQA findings, including adoption of a Statement of
Overriding Considerations and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. That EIR provides the
environmental review necessary for approval of the proposed Genentech Campus Master Plan Update,
approval of a zoning text amendment to the Genentech Master Plan zoning district, and approval of a
Development Agreement between the City and Genentech. The Final EIR concluded that
implementation of the Master Plan would result in the following environmental impacts that would be
considered significant and unavoidable:
160
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 9
• A cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutants for which the region is non-
attainment
• Construction -generated noise levels that may exceed noise standards
• Level of service (LOS)-based traffic impacts that would conflict with applicable plans, ordinances
or policies at several traffic study intersections, along freeway segments on US 101, and at
freeway interchanges
All other potentially significant impacts would be reduced to less than significant levels with regulatory
requirements applicable to new development and mitigation measures recommended in the EIR.
As was clearly indicated in the City’s CEQA Findings, the EIR for the Genentech 2020 Master Plan Update
was a Program EIR as defined under CEQA Guidelines Section 15168 (the 2020 Program EIR). The 2020
Program EIR provides sufficient detail to enable the City and other responsible governmental agencies to
make informed site-specific decisions on future individual development projects and other actions
within the Genentech Campus. The City intends to use the streamlining and tiering provisions of CEQA
to the maximum feasible extent, so that future environmental review of individual development
projects within the Genentech Campus, and public improvement projects carried out in furtherance of
the Campus Master Plan Update, are expeditiously undertaken without the need for repetitive and
redundant environmental review. To the extent possible, the City of South San Francisco intends to rely
on the 2020 Program EIR to provide environmental review for subsequent projects that are analyzed as
part of that Prior EIR. When individual projects contemplated under the Master Plan Update are
proposed, the City will consider whether those projects’ environmental effects were fully disclosed,
analyzed and as needed, mitigated within this 2020 Program EIR. That consideration will determine
whether the subsequent project is exempt from further CEQA review, whether the subsequent project
warrants preparation of an Addendum to that EIR, or necessitates subsequent or supplemental
environmental review.4

Project Description
The 2020 Genentech Master Plan continues to provide a useful framework for Genentech's growth and
development, but Genentech believes that long-term planning for the Campus will be better integrated
by acknowledging the addition of three new properties now owned or used by Genentech under long-
term lease, as well as the proposed privatization of DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and the 1-
block segment of Cabot Road between Allerton Avenue and DNA Way.
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, the City of South San Francisco is
amending the prior Genentech Master Plan EIR and the City’s SSF 2040 General Plan EIR through this
Addendum. This Addendum addresses the activities and potential environmental effects associated with
adding new properties to the Genentech Campus and its associated Master Plan, as well as the
proposed privatization of the DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and Cabot Road rights-of-way, in the
context of those prior EIRs.
Project Site(s)
Recent Property Acquisitions
The South San Francisco Zoning Code contains provisions for the Genentech Master Plan that anticipate
and generally require the rezoning of properties that are subsequently purchased or leased by
Genentech. Accordingly, recent and anticipated near-term property acquisitions by Genentech
necessitate rezoning. The following properties (see Figure 2) are proposed to be added to the
Genentech Master Plan and rezoned to the Genentech Master Plan District:
• The property now owned by Genentech and located at 333 Point San Bruno Boulevard (APN
015-250-410) consisting of approximately 0.5 acres, and APN 015-250-140, consisting of
approximately 1.4 acres (previously known as the Lithotype property),
• The property now owned by Genentech and located at 525 DNA Way (APN 015-250-210)
consisting of approximately 3.1 acres (previously known as the Bakery Institute), and
• The property now under long-term lease and with Genentech’s intent to acquire, located at 383-
393 East Grand Avenue (APN 015-250-390) consisting of approximately 4.7 acres (known as the
Dome Construction site)
These three properties total 9.7 acres, which are proposed to be added to the Genentech Master Plan
and rezoned to the Genentech Master Plan District.
Genentech’s recent acquisition of the property at 525 DNA Way does not include the short public
easement connecting DNA Way to the Wind Harp Park site. The easement between the property at 525
DNA Way and the adjacent Genentech Parcel 19 remains as a public access easement.

Public Rights-of-Way
At the time of preparation of the Genentech Master Plan and the SSF 2040 General Plan, those
properties not owned or controlled by Genentech but within the boundaries of the Genentech Master
Plan were accessed via the public streets of DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and/or the 1-block
segment of Cabot Road between Allerton Avenue and DNA Way. With recent acquisitions, all properties
within the Genentech Campus boundaries other than Wind Harp Park and the CalWater parcel are now
owned or controlled by Genentech. DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of
Cabot Road now only serve land uses that are internal to the Genentech Campus, except the Wind Harp
property which is accessed from DNA Way. The CalWater property is primarily accessed via East Grand
Avenue, but can also be accessed from DNA Way via the pedestrian access easement to the Wind Harp
property.
In exchange for financial compensation to the City, Genentech now seeks to acquire the rights-of-way
underlying these three public streets and the public service easement on either side, and requests that
the City vacate these streets as public roadways. The segments of existing roadways identified for
acquisition and street vacation include the following:
• Approximately 4,930 linear feet of the DNA Way right-of way from East Grand Avenue to Forbes
Boulevard (approximately 6.78 acres at a 60-foot right-of-way width)
• Approximately 720 linear feet of the Point San Bruno Boulevard right-of way from DNA Way to it
cul-de-sac terminus (approximately 1.1 acres at a 66-foot right-of-way width), and
• Approximately 512 linear feet of the Cabot Road right-of way from Allerton to DNA Way
(approximately 0.67 acres at a 57-foot right-of-way width)
These street rights-of-way, which total 8.55 acres (see Figure 3), are proposed to be added to the
Genentech Master Plan and rezoned to the Genentech Master Plan District.
Total Genentech Campus Additions (Land and Buildings)
The combined total of newly acquired properties and street rights-of-way proposed to be added to the
Genentech Master Plan and rezoned to the Genentech Master Plan District equals approximately 18.3
acres. With the addition of these properties and rights-of-way to the Campus Master Plan Area, the total
Campus acreage will increase from 207 acres to approximately 225 acres. The addition of recent
property acquisitions that contain existing buildings would increase the baseline of existing
development that is included within the Master Plan District by approximately 103,800 square feet of
currently built space, as shown in Table 1.

Project Implications for Master Plan Buildout
With the addition of these new properties, Genentech is not requesting an increase in the potential
Campus buildout beyond the 9 million square feet assumed in the 2020 Master Plan. As stated on page
118 of the 2020 Campus Master Plan: “... the approximately 207-acre Campus shall be limited to
9,008,000 square feet, at an FAR of 1.0.” Although the proposed rezone of these properties would
increase the total Campus by 18.3 acres (resulting in a corresponding 797,150 square feet of
development potential at an FAR of 1.0), Genentech does not propose to increase the potential buildout
and development capacity of the Campus beyond the 9,008,000 square feet as approved in the 2020
Master Plan.
Furthermore, any future development on these additional new properties will be subject to the Master
Plan’s TDM goals for the Campus, will comply with all parking and other provisions of the Genentech
Master Plan zoning district, and will be further regulated by the Master Plan’s Trip Cap, which is
equivalent to a maximum of 5,216 total drive-alone trips arriving at the Campus during the AM peak
hour.
The proposed rezoning is consistent with all applicable SSF Municipal Code provisions for adding parcels
to the Master Plan.
Physical Implications of Proposed Rezoning (the Project)
Genentech does not have any pending project applications or pre-applications for new Campus
development involving any of the three recently added properties that are proposed for rezoning. The
existing buildings on these properties may be repurposed for Genentech’s use, but no redevelopment of
these properties is currently proposed.
Similarly, Genentech does not have any pending project applications or pre-applications for new
Campus development involving any of the rights-of-way of the proposed street acquisitions. Pursuant to
the Project, the existing streets at DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot
Road will remain, but as private streets primarily serving the Genentech Campus. Genentech is not
currently proposing removal, closure or partial closure of these streets for public travel, but approval of
166
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 15
the Project would give Genentech the right to close these streets to pubic through traffic at Genentech’s
discretion, as long as public access to the Wind Harp is maintained.
Underground public infrastructure that exists within public utility easements, many of which lie beneath
or adjacent to these proposed street acquisitions, will be unaffected in the short-term. Genentech is not
currently proposing any alteration or realignment of these public utility easements.
In short, the proposed Project is limited to the following actions:
• Amending the South San Francisco General Plan by removing three street segments (DNA Way,
Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot Road) as public roads
• Adding six properties to the Genentech Master Plan, and rezoning these properties to the
Genentech Master Plan District
• Genentech’s acquisition from the City of three current public rights-of-way underlying DNA Way,
Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot Road, including the public service
easement on either side of these roadways
• City vacation of these street rights-of way
No physical change to the Genentech Campus or to these existing streets is currently proposed as part
of the Project.
Cumulative Development Potential
Over the longer term, it is likely that Genentech may seek to include the three newly added properties
and potentially segments of DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and Cabot Road into future Campus
redevelopment projects. However, no such redevelopment project is included as part of the current
Project, and Genentech has not filed any project applications or pre-applications for such
redevelopment projects. When any Campus redevelopment projects that involve these newly acquired
properties and/or rights-of-way are proposed, such projects will be subject to the City’s approval and
appropriate environmental review process at that time.
As noted above, any Campus redevelopment projects that involve these newly acquired properties will
be reviewed for consistency with all applicable provisions of the Genentech Campus Master Plan,
including the Campus-wide maximum FAR of 1.0, applicable SSF Municipal Code zoning provisions, and
the Genentech Master Plan’s Trip Cap and TDM performance requirements.
Any Campus redevelopment projects that involve these newly acquired properties will also be subject to
individual CEQA review when they may be proposed. Consistent with CEQA Guidelines, such subsequent
CEQA review will then consider the extent to which such redevelopment projects may result in new or
more severe environmental effects not previously disclosed in the prior Genentech Master Plan Program
EIR.
Potential for Future Roadway Closures
The acquisition of public rights-of-way and City vacation of the public streets at DNA Way, Point San
Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot Road creates the potential that Genentech (as the new
owner of these streets) may decide to close Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot
Road, and partial closure of DNA Way east of Wind Harp, to public through traffic. Although Genentech
is not currently proposing any street closures at this time, approval of the Project and City vacation of
167
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 16
these streets would enable Genentech to close Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of
Cabot Road, and to partially close DNA Way east of Wind Harp to public through travel, at its discretion.
The potential for a future street closure/partial street closure strategy is generally consistent with the
planning direction provided in the Genentech Campus Master Plan for creating a more pedestrian-
oriented place in the center of the Campus. The removal of non-Genentech through traffic on DNA Way
through the center of the Campus could create new opportunities for implementing placemaking
strategies and people-focused outdoor places as identified in the Genentech Master Plan, such as
courtyards, plazas and terraces; improved pedestrian connections between buildings; and outdoor
seating areas, terraced gardens and open lawn space with prominent sculpture and artwork (see Figure
4).
Short-Term Traffic Implications of a Potential Future Road Closure
The small segment of Cabot Road between Allerton Avenue and DNA Way is a local street that provides
a connection between DNA Way and Allerton Avenue. Land uses adjacent to this segment of Cabot Road
are Genentech-based childcare facilities, warehouses and small offices. Potential closure of the small
segment of Cabot Road to public through traffic would not limit Genentech-based traffic from accessing
these childcare facilities, warehouses and small office space, which is the primary traffic that uses this
short segment of roadway. Although no traffic counts for this segment of Cabot Road have been
conducted, closure of this road as a public cut-through route between Allerton Avenue and DNA Way
would have little to no effect on public traffic conditions or area-wide circulation. East Grand Avenue,
approximately 950 feet to the south on Allerton Avenue, will continue to provide a connection between
Allerton Avenue and the portion of DNA Way to remain open to public use.
The segment of Cabot Road on the opposite (west) side of Allerton Avenue is about a 1-block long cul-
de-sac serving non-Genentech light industrial and R&D uses. Genentech’s potential road closure of
Cabot Road east of Allerton would have no effect on public use of Cabot Road west of Allerton.
The potential traffic implications of partial closure of DNA Way and closure of Point San Bruno
Boulevard to public through travel has been analyzed by the transportation consultants at Fehr & Peers
under current and anticipated cumulative conditions (see Appendix x).5 Based on this analysis, a
potential partial closure of DNA Way would result in negligible effects on current traffic conditions and
area-wide circulation. Both DNA Way and Point San Bruno Boulevard serve a low volume of mostly
Genentech travel, and most of those trips would be redistributed within the Campus. While some non-
Genentech pass-through vehicle trips (about 60 to 120 per day) would be diverted to adjacent streets,
this effect is expected to be negligible. Access to the Bay Trail and surrounding land uses would be
unaffected. These conclusions are addressed in detail below.

Existing Traffic Volumes
Fehr & Peers collected traffic counts on DNA Way near Genentech’s Building 34 and on Point San Bruno
Boulevard during a full week period in early 2024. These traffic counts measured traffic volumes across
peak and off-peak hours, and on weekdays versus weekends. These traffic counts found that DNA Way
serves about 2,500 to 3,500 vehicles per weekday, and fewer than 600 vehicles on weekend days. The
significant difference in weekday versus weekend volumes illustrates DNA Way’s role in serving the
Genentech Campus, which has far less people present on weekends. Overall, DNA Way functions as a
minor local-serving street and serves a fraction of traffic volumes as compared to other, more major
streets in the East of 101 Area such as Oyster Point Boulevard and East Grand Avenue, which typically
serve over 20,000 vehicles per day (about five to eight times the traffic volumes on DNA Way).
Point San Bruno Boulevard, which is accessed from DNA Way, serves about 2,200 to 2,600 vehicles per
weekday, and approximately 300 to 400 vehicles on weekend days. Like DNA Way, the significant
difference in weekday versus weekend volumes illustrates Point San Bruno Boulevard’s role in serving
the Genentech Campus, particularly Parking Structure 2 and adjacent surface parking lots.
Travel Destinations
DNA Way primarily serves travel associated with the Genentech Campus. About 95 percent of current
trips on DNA Way start or end within the Genentech campus along DNA Way, and only about 5 percent
(or about 180 trips on a typical midweek day) pass through the Campus to somewhere else. Pass-
through travel includes trips with an origin and destination beyond DNA Way. The pass-through travel is
generally higher in the northbound direction compared to southbound. Some proportion of this pass-
through travel is still associated with Genentech operations, including trips associated with gRide buses,
security vehicles, carpools, vanpools, ride-hailing services, intra-campus freight and deliveries. For these
reasons, the total volume of non-Genentech trips along DNA Way is likely between 60 and 120 trips per
day.
Summary of Short-Term Effects of Partial Closure of DNA Way and Point San Bruno Boulevard
The summary potential effects of partial closure of DNA Way and closure of Point San Bruno Boulevard
to non-Genentech, public through travel is presented below. This analysis is provided because
closure/partial closure of these streets is a reasonably foreseeable outcome of Genentech’s acquisition
of these rights of way.
• Closure of the short segment of Cabot Road between Allerton Avenue and DNA Way to public
through traffic will not affect Genentech’s access to its childcare facilities, warehouse or office
space, which this segment of roadway serves. The public traffic connection between Allerton
Avenue and DNA Way via East Grand Avenue (less than 1,000 feet to the south) will remain
unaffected and available for public use.
• Partial closure of DNA Way and closure of Point San Bruno Boulevard to through traffic would be
implemented as part of the Genentech Master Plan, together with changes to buildings and
parking facilities, with a consolidation of Campus parking garages on the periphery of the
Campus. The overall scope of these changes is consistent with the Master Plan’s Transportation
Impact Analysis. Public access on DNA Way will remain available from East Grand Avenue to the
Wind Harp or to the Building 35 parking area.
• Partial closure of DNA Way and closure of Point San Bruno Boulevard would result in the
redistribution of certain Genentech-based through traffic within the Genentech Campus.
Roadway connections to the Campus would be maintained along Forbes Boulevard, Allerton
Avenue and East Grand Avenue, and these other roadway connections would facilitate auto,
170
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 19
freight and emergency vehicle access. Emergency vehicle access through the Campus would also
be maintained via a network of service roads consistent with the fire code.
Partial closure of DNA Way and closure of Point San Bruno Boulevard would result in
displacement of some pass-through traffic to other nearby streets like Forbes Boulevard, East
Grand Avenue and Allerton Avenue. The currently estimated 60 to 120 daily pass-through
vehicle trips along DNA Way would likely divert to Forbes Boulevard, Allerton Avenue and East
Grand Avenue. This diversion equates to fewer than 10 vehicles per hour during peak hours, and
is unlikely to be noticed among the hundreds to thousands of vehicles using these streets during
peak hours.
The San Francisco Bay Trail contains roughly 350 miles of trails that circle the San Francisco Bay
and serves hikers, joggers, bicyclists, skaters, and wheelchair users. The trail includes a segment
that runs along the eastern edge of the Campus’ waterfront, with a small parking lot at the end
of Forbes Boulevard near DNA Way. The partial closure of, or limiting access to DNA Way would
not impact access to the San Francisco Bay Trail. Vehicle access to the Bay Trail would be
maintained via Forbes Boulevard, and bicycle access would be maintained via Forbes Boulevard
and the parallel trail through the Campus. Publicly accessible Bay Trail parking at the end of East
Grand Avenue would also be unaffected.
Longer-Term (Cumulative) Traffic Implications of Future Road Closure/Partial Closure
Fehr & Peers has relied on the Cumulative plus Project traffic scenario from the 2020 Genentech Master
Plan EIR to evaluate the potential impacts of partial closure of DNA Way and Point San Bruno Boulevard
on the surrounding roadway network under cumulative (or buildout) conditions. For this analysis, it is
assumed that the Genentech Master Plan EIR’s evaluation is representative of cumulative conditions,
although Genentech’s trip generation and distribution will continue to develop as Campus planning
efforts evolve.
Genentech Cumulative Trips
The cumulative scenario as presented in the Genentech Master Plan EIR forecasts the following traffic
split for travel patterns to the Genentech Campus:
AM Peak Ingress: Approximately 55% of Genentech’s AM peak hour trips under Campus
buildout are expected to access the Genentech campus via East Grand Avenue (with 20% of
these morning trips turning left off of East Grand to access garages along DNA Way, and the
remaining 35% of morning trips travel straight on East Grand to access both non-Genentech
facilities and Genentech parking structures). The other 45% of Genentech’s AM peak hour trips
access the Genentech Campus from the north (about 21% travel eastbound on Forbes, while the
remaining 24% travel from Oyster Point, turning right onto Gull Drive and then left onto Forbes).
PM Peak Egress: Approximately 58% of Genentech’s PM peak hour trips under Campus buildout
are expected to exit the Genentech Campus by funneling onto westbound East Grand Avenue at
DNA Way. The other 42% of Genentech’s PM peak hour trips are expected to exit via the
northern periphery of the Campus, with 23% continuing straight onto westbound Forbes and
eventually turning right at Forbes/East Grand, and the remaining 19% traveling northbound on
Gull to Oyster Point.
Table 2 shows the Cumulative (including Genentech Campus buildout) trips along DNA Way at the
southern end of the DNA Way corridor near East Grand Avenue, during the morning and evening
commute peak hour. The number of trips for both Genentech and non-Genentech pass-through traffic
171
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 20
are forecast to increase proportionally with the increase in Genentech-generated trips. Pass-through
traffic is determined as a percent of Genentech trips at DNA Way/East Grand Avenue because the land
uses east of DNA Way/East Grand Avenue are almost exclusively owned and used by Genentech (except
for the San Francisco Bay Trail along the Bay shore).
Table 2: Cumulative + Project Trips along DNA Way between East Grand and Cabot Road
AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour
Total Trips, Cumulative plus GNE Buildout 1,061 813
Genentech Cumulative Pass-Through Trips 24 (2%) 16 (2%)
Non-Genentech Cumulative Trips 11 (1%) 41 (5%)
Note: Total Trips are derived from the Genentech Master Plan EIR, and the Genentech cumulative pass-through trips and non-Genentech
cumulative trips are presumed to be within plus/minus 30 percent of the volume reported here
As shown, the non-Genentech pass through trips account for roughly 2% of total cumulative traffic in
the AM peak hour, and 5% of total cumulative traffic in the PM peak hour on DNA Way.
The partial closure of DNA Way would necessitate changes in planned access to future Genentech
parking structures as was analyzed in the Genentech Master Plan EIR, and these changes would affect
the anticipated distribution of future Genentech trips. Most importantly, those parking structures that
the Genentech Master Plan anticipated to be developed along the south and west portion of DNA Way
would instead most likely be accessed via East Grand Avenue. Approximately 75% of Genentech-based
trips along DNA Way would likely shift onto East Grand Avenue to the Genentech South Campus, where
access to more parking will be available. Genentech-based trips entering and exiting from the northern
periphery of the Campus would not change, as the share of parking accessible from the north would
remain constant.
Summary of Cumulative Effects of Partial Closure of DNA Way and Closure of Point San Bruno Boulevard
Based on these assumptions, a summary of the potential effects of partial closure of DNA Way and
closure of Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot Road under cumulative conditions
is presented below. This analysis is provided because closure/partial closure of these streets is a
reasonably foreseeable outcome of Genentech’s acquisition of these rights of way.
Closure of the short segment of Cabot Road between Allerton Avenue and DNA Way to public
through traffic will have little effect on cumulative traffic conditions. This roadway segment
serves Genentech land uses (childcare, warehouse and office space). The public traffic
connection between Allerton Avenue and DNA Way via East Grand Avenue (less than 1,000 feet
to the south) will remain unaffected and available for public use under cumulative conditions.
Closure of DNA Way under a cumulative scenario will have the same impact on Genentech-
based trips as evaluated under existing conditions. These trips will be redirected towards the
periphery of the Genentech Campus, but auto, freight and emergency access will be maintained
through the Campus via other connections. There will continue to be a north-south private
street connecting Forbes Boulevard and East Grand Avenue on the east side of the Campus even
if portions of Point San Bruno Boulevard are closed. This connectivity will maintain the loop
configuration of the internal circulation network and allow Genentech employee commute trips,
172
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 21
Genentech service trips and emergency vehicle trips to maneuver around Campus in effectively
the same way that they do now.
• There would be no change to Genentech-based trips on the north side of the Campus.
Genentech’s vehicle travel on Oyster Point, Gull Drive and Forbes Boulevard would generally
remain the same as presented in the Master Plan EIR.
• Partial closure of DNA Way and closure of Point San Bruno Boulevard would add significantly
more Genentech-based trips along East Grand Avenue to the Genentech South Campus, where
this Genentech traffic would be redistributed to existing and future parking garages in the
southerly portion of the Campus. Retaining a north-south private street between East Grand
Avenue and Forbes Boulevard on the east side of the Campus will provide an alternate route to
East Grand Avenue (i.e., to Oyster Point Boulevard) for Genentech employee commute trips
traveling to and from parking facilities on the South Campus, consistent with travel patterns
evaluated in the Genentech Master Plan.
• Traffic volumes under the cumulative condition on East Grand Avenue to the west of the DNA
Way intersection (including traffic attributed to Genentech Campus buildout) would remain
consistent with the analysis as presented in the Genentech Master Plan EIR, even with the
partial closure of DNA Way.
• The cumulative non-Genentech pass-through vehicle trips expected along DNA Way in the AM
and PM peak hours would divert to Forbes Boulevard, Allerton Avenue and East Grand Avenue.
Under the cumulative scenario, the volume of these AM peak hour diversions remain small and
unlikely to impact traffic operations along any of these alternative routes. The cumulative PM
peak hour diversion of non-Genentech pass-through traffic volumes are higher, but would still
only contribute an increase of about 1 percent to 2 percent of traffic along these alternative
routes, and would be unlikely to cause a change in operational conditions along Forbes or
Allerton beyond the forecasts presented in the Genentech Master Plan EIR under cumulative
conditions.
• The partial closure of DNA Way would not impact cumulative access to the San Francisco Bay
Trail, as vehicle access would be maintained via Forbes Boulevard and bicycle access would be
maintained via Forbes Boulevard and the parallel trail through the Campus. Publicly accessible
Bay Trail parking at the end of East Grand Avenue would also remain unaffected. Increased
vehicle volumes along the northerly fork of East Grand Avenue toward Parking Structure A in the
South Campus may result in this northerly fork of East Grand Avenue being a less desirable bike
route. However, the northerly fork of East Grand Avenue is not designated or marked as a bike
route, whereas bike access to the Bay Trail is currently facilitated via existing bike sharrows
marked along the southern fork of East Grand through the South Campus, which connect to the
Bay Trail near the Old San Bruno Channel pedestrian bridge.
Project Approvals Required
South San Francisco approvals needed for the Project include the following:
• General Plan Amendment to remove the portion of DNA Way east of Wind Harp, Point San
Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot Road as public streets
• Rezoning of DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot Road to the
Genentech Master Plan District
173
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 22
• Rezoning of three newly acquired or Genentech-controlled properties to the Genentech Master
Plan District
• Transfer of ownership of the rights-of-way (including the adjacent pubic service easements) on
for DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot Road to Genentech
• Approval of a license agreement that would permit continued public access to the streets in the
immediate term
These requested Project approvals are described in detail below.
South San Francisco 2040 General Plan Amendments
Like the rest of the Genentech Campus, the three parcels that were recently acquired by Genentech
already have a General Plan land use designation of Business Technology Park, and no General Plan
amendment is necessary to re-designate these properties as part of the Genentech Campus.
Proposed Roadway Network Diagram
The Mobility and Access chapter of the SSF 2040 General Plan contains a roadway network diagram
(Figure 14: Proposed Roadway Network, page 182). A modification of this General Plan diagram is
required to remove DNA Way as an ‘Existing Connector (Collector)’ roadway (see Figure 5).
As defined in the General Plan, “Connector (Collector) streets are primary or secondary streets within
the city that serve as corridors to major destinations.” While the Genentech Campus is a major
destination, DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and Cabot Road are overwhelmingly used by
employees of Genentech. These Genentech employees will maintain access to the Campus via other
existing streets that surround the Campus (i.e., Forbes Boulevard, Allerton Avenue and East Grand
Avenue).
Other Diagrams
The SSF 2040 General Plan uses the same map of the base street network throughout all figures of the
General Plan to provide context to the reader. This base map includes a legend that identifies DNA Way
and Point San Bruno Boulevard as Connector Streets. Removal of portions of DNA Way, Point San Bruno
Boulevard and Cabot Road as public streets from the base map on these other General Plan figures
would not alter or change the relevant information presented of these other General Plan figures.
South San Francisco Zoning Map Changes
Unlike the rest of the Genentech Campus that is zoned as ‘Genentech Master Plan District’ (GMPD), the
three parcels recently acquired by Genentech have a current zoning designation of ‘Business Technology
Park – Medium’ (BTP-M). To better incorporate these parcels into the Genentech Master Plan,
Genentech seeks to have these three properties re-zoned to ‘Genentech Master Plan District’, like all
other properties (other than Wind Harp and the CalWater parcel) within the Genentech Campus (see
Figure 6).
As current public streets, DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and Cabot Road do not have any
applicable City zoning designations. To better incorporate these parcels into the Genentech Master Plan,
Genentech seeks to have these roadway rights-of-way similarly zoned as ‘Genentech Master Plan
District’.

EAST OF 101
The East of 101 sub-area covers all parts of the city that lie to the
east of Highway 101. By far the largest sub-area geographically, it
covers over 1,600 acres, is defined by large parcels, and is bordered
by the San Francisco Bay. The area primarily contains employment-
generating land uses and includes office, life science and other R&D
uses, logistics, food processing, manufacturing, and other industrial
uses. Most life science uses are located north of East Grand Avenue,
with the Genentech campus being the largest corporate campus
in East of 101. At the present, South San Francisco is home to
over 200 biotech companies, and there is room for continued
expansion of these uses, particularly on infill sites and in planned
campus environments, such as Oyster Point. South of East Grand
Avenue, there are warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, and
other industrial land uses that provide a diversity of employment
opportunities. As of 2021, no residential zoning exists in this
sub-area and there are no housing units or residents, though
as part of the General Plan update, there is opportunity to
introduce residential uses to East of 101 to create more complete
neighborhoods with options for living, working, and recreation.
Vision Statement
East of 101 is a well-connected innovation district with a
diverse mix of uses that serves as a model of sustainability,
resilience, multimodal mobility, and economic opportunity.

The General Plan advances the community vision of maintaining
districts for R&D and industrial growth, while creating new
neighborhoods that allow residential and supportive amenities and

life sciences as an economic engine for the city. Life science companies
may intensify development north of East Grand Avenue, closer to key
transportation corridors, in exchange for community benefits and
district improvements. By allowing the life sciences area to grow through
intensification rather than expanding its geographic area, the General
Plan enables transportation, trade, and industrial uses to retain land area
and continue to thrive in East of 101. These businesses, primarily to the
south of East Grand Avenue, are supported by the City in efforts to adjust
to emerging economic conditions and build long-term resilience to sea
level rise and flooding.
The General Plan creates new mixed use neighborhoods along South
Airport Boulevard. Providing opportunities for living in East of 101
supports a long-term vision for an innovation district, places more
housing near jobs and high-quality transit, and creates opportunity for
a range of new housing for different income levels. Along South Airport
Boulevard, residents will benefit from streetscape improvements and
urban design that create a high-quality public realm along this currently
commercial and industrial corridor. The General Plan supports the well-
being of new East of 101 residents by providing convenient access to new
parks and gathering spaces, neighborhood-serving retail and amenities,
and public services.

Genentech Master Plan Amendments
Genentech Campus Boundaries
At the time of preparation of the Genentech Master Plan in 2020, the three new properties now owned
or controlled by Genentech were considered out-parcels, and not included in the Master Plan. A
modification of the Genentech Master Plan is required to incorporate these three properties (which
total approximately 9.7 acres of land) into the Genentech Master Plan (see Figure 7: Modified Campus
Boundary and Neighborhood Campuses).
Chapter 3: Urban Design
Page 45, Increasing Pedestrian Connectivity and Making Places for People - update the third bullet to
read:
• A shared-street concept may be considered, whereby DNA Way is scheduled for partial closure
to general vehicle traffic during specified times of the day, and opened as a pedestrian-only
environment with accommodations for emergency vehicles and shuttle and bus access. A
pedestrian oriented Campus may be achieved by vacating DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard
and Cabot Road. With review and approval by the City, these roads may remain open, partially
open, or closed, as long as proper emergency vehicle, and shuttle and bus access is provided.
Page 53, Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities - amend to read:
• Additionally, Genentech intends to engage the City in a conversation about the potential for a
daily closure of seek vacation and privatization of portions of DNA Way, Point San Bruno
Boulevard and Cabot Road where it passes through the central portion of the Upper Campus.
These road segments currently only serve the Genentech Campus and Wind Harp. The purpose
of this road closure these street vacations would be to further align the design of the central
Campus with the urban design objectives listed in Section 3.2 and to work with the City to make
this road segment these roadway segments into a more pedestrian-oriented place where people
are prioritized over vehicles. The public road closure might only occur between the morning and
afternoon peak traffic hours, so that regular vehicle traffic would continue during non-peak
hours (including at night)
Page 63 - Placemaking at Each Neighborhood Campus at Upper Campus Core - replace the 4th bullet
point as follows:
• Consider partial closure of DNA Way within the Campus core area to vehicle traffic during
scheduled times of the workday, better establishing this area as a pedestrian priority zone.
Consider privatization of DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and Cabot Road within the
Campus Core area to support and prioritize a pedestrian oriented campus.
Chapter 4: Transportation, Circulation and Parking
Page 89, Local Street System - amend the 3rd bullet as follows:
• DNA Way is a two-way road connecting East Grand Avenue with Forbes Boulevard passing
through the center of the Genentech Campus. A City approved plan will need to be
implemented if the street is partially closed to through traffic.

Page 95, Potential DNA Way Closure – amend as follows:
• DNA Way is the main public street through the Campus and provides public circulation from East
Grand Avenue to Forbes Boulevard. Genentech-related vehicles are the primary users of this
road. As part of the Urban Design strategy of this Master Plan Update, Genentech is exploring
the possibility of a daily closure of DNA Way to public through traffic east of Wind Harp, where it
passes through the central portion of the Upper Campus. The purpose of this partial road
closure would be to make this road segment, which bisects the center of the Campus, into a
more pedestrian-oriented place where people are prioritized over vehicles.
The public road closure might only occur between the morning and afternoon peak traffic hours
(e.g., between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM) so that public circulation would continue during non-
closure hours (including at night). During the non-closure hours, DNA Way would be fully open
to public traffic, and would provide non-peak commuters with convenient access to all on-
Campus parking facilities. The road closure would only affect private vehicles. All public transit
and Genentech transit services, including the gRide shuttle system and Genentech service
vehicles, would continue to use DNA Way at all times in dedicated and clearly identified lanes.
With implementation of a broader parking garage strategy, commuters and visitors to the
Campus would be able to access new parking facilities around the outer edges of the Campus,
and would not need to drive through the Upper Campus at all. Allerton, Forbes and East Grand
Avenue would be unaffected.
Within the Upper Campus (i.e., between the entrance to Building 35 and the intersection at
Point San Bruno Boulevard near the B30 Quad buildings), the former DNA Way right-of-way
would be designed to look and feel “different” than a traditional public street. This design
treatment may include special pavers rather than asphalt, dedicated bike lanes, rolled curbs,
and adjacent pedestrian amenities. These design strategies are intended to allow this former
street segment to function as a designated pedestrian environment. , shared with transit and
emergency vehicle use.
Page 100 – amend the 2nd bullet as follows:
Considering a shared-street concept whereby portions of the Campus are DNA Way is scheduled
for closure to general traffic, and opened as pedestrian environments with accommodations for
shuttles, service vehicles, and buses only. For people to be comfortable and safe, designs for
these spaces will prioritize pedestrians (e.g., special paving to demarcate a shared
pedestrian/auto-zone, and landscaped bulb-outs within the street at pedestrian pathway
intersections)
Other figures and maps throughout the Genentech Master Plan will need to be updated to include the
additional properties, including the privatized streets, including the following.

Pubic Street Vacation
The City of South San Francisco’s Engineering Division has oversight of permits that affect the City's
right-of-way or infrastructure, including the granting of, or vacation of city easements and rights-of-way.
The Engineering Division staff will review and confirm that all requirements for a street vacation/partial
street vacation are met. These requirements include:
• An Easement Vacation Request form filled out and signed
• Title reports of all parcels affected
• Plat and legal descriptions with metes and bounds of the easements to be vacated, prepared by
a California Registered Civil Engineer or a licensed Land Surveyor in the State of California
• Fees and deposits for staff time and land surveyor review costs
• The Office of the City Manager may be involved to negotiate a purchase-sales agreement of the
vacated roadways
When the Engineering staff/City Manager confirms that all requirements for street vacation are met, the
Planning Commission will need to determine whether the proposed street right-of-way vacation is
consistent with the City’s General Plan, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65402. This
determination would be noticed as a public hearing.
If the Planning Commission determines that the proposed street vacation is consistent with the City’s
General Plan, the City Council would then conduct a public hearing to consider making findings that the
streets are unnecessary for present or future public use, and to consider adoption of a resolution for
street vacation and a purchase/sale agreement.
Genentech or their title company would then record the City’s Vacation Resolution at the San Mateo
County Recorder’s Office.

• update the Project Description provided in the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and the Genentech
Campus Master Plan EIR (together the Prior EIRs) to include the addition of six properties to the
Genentech Master Plan, and the potential privatization and partial closure of DNA Way, and
closure of Point San Bruno Boulevard and a short segment of Cabot Road, and
• to address the potential environmental effects of those activities as described in the Project
Description, in light of the analysis presented in these Prior EIRs
This document has been prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines sections 15162 and 15164. CEQA
Guidelines section 15162(a)] provides that, for a project covered by a previously certified EIR,
preparation of a Subsequent EIR rather than an Addendum is required if one or more of the following
conditions occur:
1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous
EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken
which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement
of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously
identified significant effects; or
3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known
with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time of the previous EIR was certified as complete or
the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
a) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or
negative declaration;
b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the
previous EIR or negative declaration;
c) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be
feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the
project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
d) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in
the previous EIR or negative declaration would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measures
or alternative.
Section 15164(b) of the CEQA Guidelines states:
“An addendum to an adopted negative declaration or EIR may be prepared if only minor technical
changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for
the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred”.
Based on the analysis presented herein, the City of South San Francisco has determined that an
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and the Genentech Master Plan EIR is the appropriate
CEQA document to address the proposed Project. None of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines
181
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 30
Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a Subsequent EIR would occur with implementation of the
Project. This environmental analysis relies on the analyses completed in these Prior EIRs, directly
referencing those Prior EIRs as appropriate.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15164(c), this Addendum is not required to be circulated for public
review. A Notice of Determination will be filed with the State Clearinghouse at the State of California
Office of Planning and Research upon the City’s approval of the Project.
Application of Previous Environmental Review
Prior CEQA Findings – SSF General Plan EIR
The SSF 2040 General Plan that was approved by the City in 2022 anticipates approximately 14,312 net
new housing units and approximately 42,297 net new employment opportunities in the City by year
2040. Amendments to the City Zoning Code were made concurrent with the General Plan to incorporate
a number of major environmental policies, and a Climate Action Plan identifies strategies and measures
to reduce GHG emissions generated by existing and future uses in the City.
The General Plan EIR concluded that the SSF 2040 General Plan was largely self-mitigating in that the
policies, actions and strategies in the General Plan Update, Zoning Code Amendments and Climate
Action Plan recognize the importance of the natural environment, and are designed to protect the
environment and environmental resources. In certain instances, mitigation measures are included in the
GP EIR to reinforce and enhance the environmental protections identified in the General Plan’s policies,
actions, and strategies. However, even with implementation of all available mitigation, the GP EIR
concluded that the SSF 2040 General Plan Update would result in significant unavoidable impacts
related to the following:
• project-level and cumulative vehicle miles traveled
• project-level and cumulative roadway safety
• project-level conflicts with 2017 Bay Area Clean Air Plan,
• and cumulative criteria air pollutants
The General Plan EIR is a programmatic document, and until the City receives development applications
for subsequent projects pursuant to the General Plan, the potential impacts of such projects on the
environment are too speculative to have been determined. Accordingly, the SSF General Plan EIR
acknowledges that future construction and development plans will be subject to subsequent, project-
level CEQA analysis. The City does expect that the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR will serve as a source of
information in the review of subsequent planning and development proposals, and will be utilized in
conjunction the streamlining provisions provided by CEQA to provide a first-tier of environmental review
for later, project-specific and/or site-specific CEQA documents.
Prior CEQA Findings - Genentech Master Plan EIR
The Genentech Master Plan was approved by the City of South San Francisco in 2020, and the
environmental impacts attributable to future growth and development within the Genentech Campus
pursuant to the Master Plan have already been evaluated pursuant to CEQA. The Genentech Master
Plan EIR is intended to simplify the task of preparing subsequent project-level environmental documents
for future projects proposed pursuant to the Master Plan Update. Where feasible and where an
adequate level of detail is available, the Master Plan EIR also provides project-level analysis intended to
minimize the need for subsequent CEQA review of individual development projects. The Master Plan EIR
182
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 31
analyzes one example of a detailed development program for the Genentech Campus that provides
general density and intensity of use, building height and bulk, and location of anticipated future
development, public infrastructure and transportation improvements. The Master Plan EIR is intended
to be used under the streamlining and tiering provisions of CEQA to the maximum feasible extent, such
that future environmental review of specific development projects within the Campus that are carried
out in furtherance of the Master Plan Update are expeditiously undertaken, without the need for
repetition and redundancy.
When adopting the Genentech Master Plan, the City determined that implementation of the Master
Plan would result in significant and unavoidable environmental effects related to the following:
• criteria air pollutant emissions
• construction-period noise, and
• traffic impacts at local intersections, freeway ramps and freeway segments
All other potentially significant environmental effects related to Implementation of the Master Plan
were found to be reduced to less than significant levels through implementation of either existing
regulatory requirements or additional mitigation measures as recommended in that prior EIR.
The Genentech Master Plan and its EIR considered and evaluated the possibility of closing DNA Way
through the Upper Campus to create a more pedestrian-oriented place in the center of the Campus
where people are prioritized over vehicles.
The Genentech Master Plan also sets out the requirements adding properties to the Genentech Master
Plan zoning district, which include:
• The acreage of any new property added to the Campus shall be aggregated with the
approximately 207 acres of existing Campus properties, and shall contribute to the overall
Campus FAR of 1.0.
• The AM peak hour vehicle trips attributed to any existing use of property added to the
Genentech Campus shall be added to the Trip Cap, but any future redevelopment that generates
an increase in vehicle trips shall be subject to the Trip Cap total of this Master Plan Update (i.e.,
no net increase in AM peak hour vehicle trips).
• New properties added to the Genentech Campus shall be subject to the TDM goals and
requirements.
• Parking requirements that apply to any new properties added to the Genentech Campus shall
conform to the parking rates of the Master Plan, based on the TDM rates effective at the time
the property is added. Parking requirements attributable to new Campus properties may be met
at off-site parking facilities within the Genentech Campus.
• All other provisions of the Genentech Master Plan zoning district shall apply to any new
property added to the Campus.
In this context, the changes to be implemented pursuant to the proposed Project (i.e., adding six new
properties to the Master Plan and privatizing internal Campus roadways) have already been anticipated
and addressed in the broader scope and evaluation conducted in the prior Genentech Master Plan EIR.
No Need for Further Study
The proposed Project does not increase the potential buildout scenario as provided in the SSF 2040
General Plan or the Genentech Master Plan. Rather, the Project adds new land area to the Genentech
183
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 32
Master Plan area, while maintaining the 9 million square-foot buildout that was approved by the City in
the 2020 Campus Master Plan. The proposed Project is consistent with the development program
established in the 2020 Genentech Master Plan.
As demonstrated in this document, the changes that would result from the City’s approval of the
proposed Project (including partial closure of DNA Way, and closure of Point San Bruno Boulevard and
Cabot Road within the Genentech Campus) would not add any new potentially significant environmental
impacts not already identified in the Prior EIRs, nor would it increase the severity of significant impacts
previously identified in the Prior EIRs.

Comparative Environmental Analysis
No New or More Severe Effects Related to Roadway Acquisitions and Potential Closures
Near-Term Effects
Genentech’s current proposal is to acquire the rights-of-way underlying three public streets (DNA Way,
Point San Bruno Boulevard and a short segment of Cabot Road) that are within the boundaries of the
Campus Master Plan, and requests that the City vacate these streets as public roadways. Genentech
does not have any pending project applications or pre-applications for new Campus development
involving any of these rights-of-way, and these streets will remain open to the public in the near term,
but as private streets. Genentech is not currently proposing removal of these streets, or closure of these
streets for public travel, but approval of the Project would give Genentech the rights to close these
streets to public through travel at Genentech’s discretion as long as public access to the Wind Harp is
maintained and Genentech complies with all mitigations pertaining to emergency vehicle access.
Underground public infrastructure that exists within public utility easements, many of which lie beneath
or adjacent to these proposed street acquisitions, will be unaffected in the short-term. Genentech is not
currently proposing any alteration or realignment of these public utility easements.
In the near term, there would be no street removal, reconstruction or redevelopment of these roadway
rights-of-way, so no new or more severe construction-related impacts or operational impacts would
occur. Accordingly, the Project’s proposed acquisition of the rights-of-way underlying DNA Way, Point
San Bruno Boulevard and a short segment of Cabot Road, and even partial closure of DNA Way and full
closure of Point San Bruno Boulevard and Cabot Road to public through traffic, will not result in any new
or more severe environmental impacts other than those impacts already disclosed in the Prior EIRs.
Reasonably Foreseeable Future Effects
In the longer-term, it is reasonably foreseeable that if the rights-of-way underlying these three public
streets were to be acquired by Genentech, Genentech may seek to close/partially close these streets (as
envisioned in the Genentech Campus Master Plan) to remove public through traffic on DNA Way from
the center of the Campus and to create a more pedestrian-oriented place with courtyards, plazas and
terraces, and improved pedestrian connections between buildings. Accordingly, an analysis of the
potential traffic implications associated with a possible partial closure of DNA Way and closure of Point
San Bruno Boulevard has been conducted (Fehr & Peers, February 2024 – see Appendix A).
This analysis concludes that closure/partial closure of these roadways to through traffic would be
expected to result in negligible effects on traffic conditions and area-wide circulation in the short-term,
and under cumulative conditions. Both DNA Way and Point San Bruno Boulevard serve a relatively low
volume of through traffic, most of which is Genentech-based travel. Partial closure of DNA Way and
closure of Point San Bruno would redistribute these Genentech-based trips away from the center of the
Campus, and instead to parking areas at the periphery of Campus. These peripheral parking areas are
served by Forbes Boulevard, Allerton Avenue and East Grand Avenue. Freight, delivery and emergency
vehicle access is expected to be maintained throughout the Campus (even with these roadway
closures/partial closures) via a network of new or modified, and Fire Code-complaint service routes to
be installed at the time of any new development or redevelopment that would result in physical
removal of these privatized roads.
185
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 34
Some non-Genentech pass-through vehicle trips would be diverted to adjacent streets such as Forbes
Boulevard, East Grand Avenue and Allerton Avenue. This redistribution of pass-through traffic is of such
low volume as to have a negligible effect on traffic on those alternative routes.
Closure of the short segment of Cabot Road between Allerton Avenue and DNA Way to public through
traffic will have little effect on public pass-through traffic conditions in the near or long-term. This
roadway segment exclusively serves Genentech land uses (childcare, warehouse and office space), and
the separate public traffic connection between Allerton Avenue and DNA Way via East Grand Avenue
(less than 1,000 feet to the south) will remain unaffected and available for public use.
The following provides a comparative analysis of potential environmental impacts that could be
reasonably expected to occur with partial closure of DNA Way and closure of Point San Bruno and the
short segment of Cabot Road, as compared to the impact analysis presented in the Prior EIRs.
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)
Prior VMT Analysis (per Genentech Master Plan FEIR)
The Genentech Master Plan EIR determined that buildout of the Master Plan would generate
approximately 32,200 daily trips, not accounting for any application of the TDM measures. The Master
Plan commits to a sliding scale of reductions in AM peak hour drive alone trips to the Campus as
necessary to maintain the Master Plan’s Trip Cap. At buildout of 9 million square feet of development,
the necessary TDM measures will result in approximately 22,200 total daily trips. Assuming an additional
5% reduction for internalized trips (on-Campus amenities, on-Campus shuttles, and bicycle and
pedestrian amenities), the Master Plan was found to result in approximately 21,000 daily trips.
Multiplying these 21,000 daily trips by an average trip length of 9.3 miles per trip (the weighted average
of home-based work trips and non-home-based trips for TAZ #212) for year 2040, the Master Plan was
found to generate approximately 194,900 new daily vehicle miles travelled. Dividing these daily vehicle
miles travelled by 12,500 new employees (per the Master Plan’s estimate) yields an average of 15.6 VMT
per employee in year 2040. This VMT rate per employee is lower than the VMT target reduction
threshold of 15% below the regional average worker-based VMT for year 2040. Accordingly, the
Genentech Master Plan EIR concluded that the Master Plan would not result in a significant increase in
VMT.
VMT Implications of Roadway Closures
It is reasonably foreseeable that Genentech may seek to partially close DNA Way, and to close Point San
Bruno and the short segment of Cabot Road to through traffic. As indicated below, such roadway
closures would have little to no measurable effect on VMT.
The Master Plan’s commitment to TDM and the Trip Cap would remain, resulting in the same
approximately 22,200 total new daily trips to the Campus at buildout. On-Campus amenities, on-Campus
shuttles, and bicycle and pedestrian amenities would still provide for at least a 5% reduction for
internalized trips, resulting in the same approximately 21,000 new daily trips.
The estimated average trip length of 9.3 miles per trip (weighted average of home-based work trips and
non-home-based trips for TAZ #212) would remain approximately the same. Closure of DNA Way, Point
San Bruno and potentially Cabot Road would redistribute Genentech-based trips away from the center
of the Campus and instead to parking areas at the periphery of Campus served by Forbes Boulevard,
Allerton Avenue and East Grand Avenue. These parking areas are no further away from their trip origin
locations than the existing parking areas now accessed by DNA Way. Accordingly, even with partial
closure of DNA Way and closure of Point San Bruno Boulevard and Cabot Road, buildout of the Master
186
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 35
Plan would still result in an average of 15.6 VMT per employee in year 2040, which is lower than the
VMT target reduction thresholds of 15% below the regional average worker-based VMT for year 2040.
• Based on these factors, a reasonably foreseeable partial closure of DNA Way, and closure of
Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot Road would not result in a new or
more significant environmental effect pertaining to VMT than was disclosed in the Prior EIR.
Air Quality
Prior Analysis of Mobile Source Criteria Air Pollutants
The Genentech Master Plan EIR determined that buildout of the Master Plan would generate new
vehicle trips from new employees, and would increase vehicle trips by vendors and visitors. The number
of estimated new daily vehicle trips generated by the Project was obtained from the same traffic impact
analysis used in the Transportation chapter of that EIR, including the number of new trips, the
percentage of trips for each mode of transportation, and average trip length. Emissions from each of
these trip types were obtained using EMFAC2014, and based on emission rates per trip type as derived
from the vehicle fleet mix in San Mateo County. Mobile source emissions of criteria pollutants attributed
to buildout of the Master Plan was found to result in 7.9 tons/year of reactive organic gas (ROG), 12
tons/year of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 15 tons per year of particulate matter as PM10, and 3.5 tons per year
of particulate matter as PM2.5. With the exception of NOx, none of the mobile source emissions
attributed to buildout of the Master Plan was found to exceed significance thresholds. However, when
combined with all other emission sources (new laboratory emissions, miscellaneous natural gas
combustion, architectural coatings, consumer products and landscaping) all of these emission types
(except PM2.5) were found to exceed significance thresholds.
Implications of Roadway Closures on Mobile Source Criteria Air Pollutants
As indicated above, reasonably foreseeable partial roadway closures of DNA Way, and closure of Point
San Bruno and the short segment of Cabot Road would have little to no measurable effect on VMT.
Mobile sources of criteria air pollutant emissions are primarily a function of the same VMT by trip types,
multiplied by vehicle emission rates per trip type. The potential roadway closures/partial closures of
DNA Way, Point San Bruno and the short segment of Cabot Road would have similar (i.e., little to no
measurable) change in projected emissions of mobile sources of criteria pollutants.
• Based on this comparative analysis, the Project’s potential partial closure of DNA Way, and
closure of Point San Bruno and the short segment of Cabot Road would not result in a new or
more significant environmental effect pertaining to criteria air pollutant emissions than was
disclosed in the Prior EIRs.
GHG Emissions
Prior Analysis of Mobile Sources of GHG
Pursuant to BAAQMD Guidelines and SSF CEQA thresholds, operational GHG emissions that comply with
a Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy are deemed less than significant under CEQA. The South San
Francisco Climate Action Plan that was effective in 2020 (when the prior Master Plan EIR was certified)
followed both State and BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines by incorporating standard elements of a Qualified
GHG Reduction Strategy, and that SSF CAP met the requirements and criteria for a Qualified GHG
Reduction Strategy. Because the SSF CAP satisfied the requirements of a Qualified GHG Reduction
Strategy, the CAP allowed the City to determine that future development projects that fully comply with
the CAP would have a less than significant impact on GHG emissions.
187
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 36
The prior CAP’s inventory of GHG emissions included Genentech’s GHG emissions from indirect
operational sources, including mobile sources. These categories of emissions were subject to reduction
measures as specified in the CAP, primarily through required implementation of TDM measures. The
Genentech Master Plan, inclusive of its TDM plan and Trip Cap, was found to be in full compliance with
the GHG emission reduction strategies of the SSF CAP, and the Genentech Master Plan was found to
have a less than significant impact on GHG emissions from mobile sources.
Implications of Roadway Closures on Mobile Sources of GHG
Based on Genentech’s most recent trip count data (November 2023), the Campus is generating
approximately 3,660 AM peak-hour drive-alone trips.6 This is well below the trip cap of 5,216 AM peak-
hour drive-alone trips, and the Campus is currently compliant with this requirement. Also according to
the cordon counts conducted at the Campus in November 2023, Genentech’s current TDM performance
shows a drive-alone mode share of 40%, resulting in an effective nearly 60% TDM mode share, inclusive
of remote work (33%) and alternative modes such as transit, carpool, walk or bike (26%).7 With a current
alternative mode split of nearly 60%, the Genentech Campus is far exceeding its currently effective TDM
commitment.
It may be reasonably foreseeable that Genentech may seek to partially close DNA Way, and to close
Point San Bruno and the short segment of Cabot Road to through traffic. However, such a potential
roadway closure/partial closure would not change Genentech’s requirements or commitments to
implementation of TDM measures or the Master Plan’s trip limits of the Trip Cap. These currently
effective TDM plans and the Trip Cap are in full compliance with the GHG emission reduction strategies
of South San Francisco’s current Climate Action Plan as approved by the City in 2022, concurrent with
the SSF 2040 GP Update. These potential roadway closures/partial closures would have no effect on
Genentech’s commitment to implement its TDM plans and Trip Cap, and would have no measurable
effect on Genentech’s ability to continue to meet these commitments.
• Based on this comparative analysis, the Project’s potential partial closure of DNA Way and
closure of Point San Bruno and the short segment of Cabot Road would not result in a new or
more significant environmental effect pertaining to mobile source GHG emissions.
Land Use / Public Access to Bay Trail
Genentech holds two BCDC permits that require Genentech to provide, improve and use approximately
2.5 acres for public access to and along the Bay shoreline along the Lower Campus, and to make parking
available to the general public on weekends and after normal business hours; and to construct, use and
maintain a public access trail along approximately 2,335 feet of shoreline at the Mid and South Campus
(approximately 3.8 acres), also including a bicycle and pedestrian ramp, landscaping, site furnishings and
a storm drain and drop inlets.
If Genentech does seek to partially close DNA Way and to close Point San Bruno and the short segment
of Cabot Road to through traffic, such roadway closures/partial closures would remain consistent with
these existing BCDC permits. Access to the Bay Trail and surrounding land uses would be unaffected.
Vehicle access to the Bay Trail parking area Lower Campus would be maintained via Forbes Boulevard,
and publicly accessible Bay Trail parking at the end of East Grand Avenue in the South Campus would be
unaffected. Bicycle access would also be maintained via Forbes Boulevard and the parallel trail through
the Campus.

Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 37
• The Project’s potential partial closure of DNA Way and closure of Point San Bruno and the short
segment of Cabot Road would not result in a new or more significant environmental effect
pertaining to public access to the Bay Tail, and would not conflict with existing BCDC permits
pertaining to the provisions of that access to the Bay Trail.
Hazards/Emergency Response
Genentech has no current plans to close any roadways to public access or to emergency access.
However, it is reasonably foreseeable that Genentech may seek to partially close DNA Way and to close
Point San Bruno and the short segment of Cabot Road to through traffic at some point in the future. The
closure of these roadways to public through traffic would not affect use of these roadways for
emergency access by the South San Francisco Police or Fire Department, as they would remain as
emergency roadways.
To the extent that Genentech may seek to remove these roadways or portions of these roadways to
accommodate future development or redevelopment within the Campus, such roadway removals could
potentially affect existing emergency response or evacuation plans. Per the Genentech Master Plan EIR’s
Mitigation Measure 7B – Lane Closure Request, adequate emergency vehicles access must be ensured
if/when roadway closures may be proposed. This mitigation measure requires Genentech to consult
with the South San Francisco Police and Fire Department to identify appropriate alternative travel
routes in the event of a proposed road closure (in this instance, “road closure” is interpreted as a
physical change or removal of the road that would preclude its use as an emergency lane, rather than
simply privatization of the road).
• Implementation of Genentech Master Plan EIR Mitigation Measure 7-B will ensure that impacts
related to emergency response remain less than significant, and the Project would not result in
any new or more severe impacts that were previously disclosed in the Prior EIRs.
Hydrology
The City’s stormdrain system within the Project Area consists of a variety of disconnected drainage
systems including surface street drainage and underground storm drains (including drainages and
stormdrain inlets within the rights-of-way of DNA Way, Point San Bruno and the short segment of Cabot
Road). These stormdrain facilities collect runoff from the Project Area, and outfall directly into the San
Francisco Bay. The existing drainage system was generally designed and constructed to accommodate
large-scale industrial development, with large capacity stormdrain pipes.
Even if Genentech does seek to partially close DNA Way and close Point San Bruno and the short
segment of Cabot Road to through traffic, the underground public infrastructure that exists within public
utility easements (including existing stormdrain lines), would remain. Genentech is not currently
proposing, and it is not necessarily foreseeable that roadway closure/partial closure to through traffic
would necessitate any alteration or realignment of the underlying public utility easements and drainage
infrastructure. Even under this reasonably foreseeable future scenario, the Project would not require or
result in the relocation or reconstruction of stormdrain infrastructure. If Genentech were to make future
development plans that would involve these rights-of-ways, the potential need for relocating
underground storm drains would be evaluated as part of such a project, but no such project is currently
proposed.
• The Project will not require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded storm
water drainage facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause new or more
significant environmental effects than those disclosed in the Prior EIRs.
189
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 38
At such time that Genentech may propose new development or redevelopment projects that involve
these former public rights-of-way, those later projects will need to coordinate with the City and other
utility providers, and Genentech will be responsible for maintaining continuity of the stormdrain system.
No such development or redevelopment projects are currently proposed.
Noise
The Genentech Master Plan EIR determined that buildout of the Master Plan would increase traffic
volumes that would increase local ambient traffic noise levels by greater than 3 dBA CNEL along several
roadway segments, including Oyster Point Boulevard, Gull Drive and East Grand Avenue. However, the
Master Plan’s increased traffic noise was not found to adversely affect any existing noise-sensitive
receptors. The only noise-sensitive receptors in the vicinity include three daycare facilities on Allerton
Avenue near Cabot Road (two of which are Genentech facilities). The Genentech Master Plan EIR
determined that these existing noise-sensitive daycare facilities are currently exposed to peak hour
traffic noise exceeding 60 dBA, but that buildout of the Genentech Campus (to 9 million square feet)
would only increase traffic noise by approximately 1.8 dBA, as compared to a threshold of a 3 dBA
increase.
If Genentech should seek to partially close DNA Way and to close Point San Bruno and the short
segment of Cabot Road to through traffic, these roadway closures/partial closures would redistribute
Genentech-based trips away from the center of the Campus, with a share of those trips redistributed
onto Allerton Avenue. As a rule of thumb, it takes a doubling of vehicle trips to cause a significant (i.e.,
more than 3 dBA) increase in traffic noise. The marginal increase of trips redistributed onto Allerton
Avenue as a result of a potential partial closure of DNA Way would not double existing or projected
traffic volumes on Allerton, and would not cause a significant noise impact to these noise-sensitive
daycare facilities. The marginal increase of trips redistributed onto Allerton Avenue would also be
unlikely to contribute to a cumulative increase of 3 dBA CNEL or more over existing conditions.
Furthermore, these daycare facilities serve Genentech and nearby R&D land uses, with child drop-off
and pick-up occurring during the am and pm peak traffic periods. During the mid-day when the childcare
facilities are in operation, the volume of traffic and associated traffic noise along Allerton Avenue drops
substantially.
• The Project’s potential partial closure of DNA Way and closure of Point San Bruno and the short
segment of Cabot Road would not result in a new or more significant environmental effect
pertaining to traffic noise.
Utilities
The City’s wastewater collection system and CalWater’s water distribution system are located within
public utility easements, some of which are within the rights-of-way of DNA Way, Point San Bruno and
the short segment of Cabot Road.
Even if Genentech does seek to partially close DNA Way and close Point San Bruno and the short
segment of Cabot Road to through traffic, the underground water and wastewater infrastructure that
exists within these public utility easements would remain. Genentech is not currently proposing, and it is
not necessarily foreseeable, that roadway closure/partial closure to through traffic necessitates any
alteration or realignment of these underlying public utility easements. The Project does not require or
result in the need to relocate or reconstruct water or wastewater infrastructure. If Genentech were to
make future development plans that would involve these rights-of-ways, the potential need for
relocating underground utilities would be evaluated as part of such a project, but no such project is
currently proposed.
190
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 39
• The Project will not require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water
or wastewater infrastructure, the construction or relocation of which could cause new or more
significant environmental effects than those disclosed in the Prior EIRs.
At such time that Genentech may propose new development or redevelopment projects that involve
these former public rights-of-way, such later projects will need to coordinate with the City and other
utility providers, and Genentech will be responsible for maintaining continuity of the public utility
systems. No such development or redevelopment projects are currently proposed.
No New or More Severe Construction-Related Effects
The Project (privatization of three existing streets within the Genentech Campus - DNA Way, Point San
Bruno Boulevard and a segment of Cabot Road- and removal of the SSF 2040 General Plan’s Local Street
designation of these roadways) does not currently include any proposed demolition or physical removal
of these streets, or any other type of reconstruction of these streets.
The six properties proposed to be added to the Genentech Campus and re-zoned as Genentech Master
Plan District are existing public streets or urbanized sites containing existing industrial or light industrial
buildings. No redevelopment of these properties is currently proposed, and no construction activity on
these sites is currently proposed as part of the Project.
Accordingly, there would be no substantial change to the analyses and findings presented in the Prior
EIRs for the following impact issue areas related to new construction on the Genentech Campus.
Air Quality
Throughout buildout of the Master Plan, construction activities would result in emissions of criteria
pollutants for which the region is non-attainment, including releasing emissions of ozone precursors and
particulates. However, with implementation of Basic Best Management Practices (BMPs) for all
construction projects, construction emissions would be unlikely to exceed applicable thresholds. During
construction activities, new development pursuant to the Master Plan could also expose sensitive
receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations from construction-related emissions. Specifically, the
Project’s construction emissions could cause an excess cancer risk level exceeding 10 in one million at
the maximally exposed sensitive receptor.
No new construction is proposed pursuant to any portions of the Project, so no increase in criteria
pollutants or toxic air contaminants would occur. No redevelopment of the six properties to be added to
the Genentech Campus is currently proposed, and no construction activity on these sites is currently
proposed as part of the Project. Furthermore, Genentech does not seek to increase the amount of
potential development within the Campus beyond that already approved, even with the increased land
area attributed to the six new properties. Accordingly, the Project would not increase cumulative air
quality emissions beyond that already evaluated in the Genentech Master Plan EIR.
Biological Resources
The existing rights-of-way and the six properties proposed to be added to the Genentech Campus and
re-zoned as Genentech Master Plan District do not involve any sites identified as containing CDFW-
designated Natural Communities of Special Concern, CDFW-designated Sensitive Vegetation Alliances,
essential fish habitat, Waters of the U.S. or the State, or any drainage ditches. The potential for the
Project to result in any construction-related impacts to biological resources can be summarized as
follows:

• The Project would have no direct or indirect adverse effect on tidal aquatic habitat or aquatic
species dependent on that habitat;
• would have no direct or indirect adverse effect, directly or through habitat modification, on
California Ridgway’s rail, burrowing owl, Alameda song sparrow or San Francisco common
yellowthroat;
• would have no direct or indirect adverse effect on harbor seals or California sea lion, or their
tidal aquatic habitat within the Bay;
• would not interfere with migratory bird corridors or result in increased bird strikes with
buildings;
• would have no adverse effects on coastal salt marsh or other sensitive habitat, or cause the
spread of invasive and non-native plant species;
• would not have adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community;
• would not adversely affect wetlands, waters of the U.S. or waters of the state;
• would not interfere with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species, or with migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites
• would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, including
any tree preservation policy or ordinance; and
• would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted habitat conservation plan, natural
community conservation plan or other habitat conservation plan
Cultural Resources
There are no historic structures currently located within the Genentech Campus. None of the six
properties proposed to be added to the Genentech Campus and re-zoned as Genentech Master Plan
District contain known historic structures. The three street segments proposed for privatization are not
historic resources. There is a high potential for unrecorded or non-located Native American resources in
the Project Area, but no ground disturbance is proposed pursuant to any portions of the Project. The
potential for the Project to result in any construction-related impacts to cultural resources can be
summarized as follows:
• The Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of any known
historical resources;
• would not uncover or disturb a known paleontological resource;
• would not result in the discovery or disturbance of possible, currently unidentified historic-
period archaeological resources; and
• would not result in the discovery or disturbance of possible, currently unidentified or non-
located tribal cultural resources
Geology and Soils
The San Francisco Bay Area (including the Genentech Campus) is in one of the most seismically active
regions in the U.S. and could be subject to violent shaking under a scenario earthquake along the San
Andreas Fault, and very strong shaking under a scenario earthquake along the Peninsula Segments of
the San Andreas or on the San Gregorio Fault. However, no new construction is proposed pursuant to
192
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 41
any portions of the Project. Therefore, the potential for the geologic hazards to affect or to be affected
by the Project can be summarized as follows:
• The Project would not expose people and/or structures to potentially substantial adverse effects
resulting from strong seismic groundshaking and seismic-related ground failure;
• would not expose people and structures to potentially substantial adverse effects resulting from
landslides;
• would not involve a geologic unit or soil that is unstable or that could become unstable; and
• would not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The existing rights-of-way for DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and a segment of Cabot Road, and
the three properties proposed to be added to the Genentech Campus and re-zoned as Genentech
Master Plan District, do not involve any properties identified on the list of hazardous materials sites
compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. Two listed sites in the general vicinity are
‘Closed’ sites requiring no further remedial action. These nearby sites include the Tornberg Enterprises
site at 1776 DNA Way (former LUST Cleanup Site with cleanup completed and the case closed as of
1992), and the 451 DNA Way site (former SWRCB Cleanup Program Site, with cleanup completed and
the case closed in 2003).8 Given that the Project involves no construction, excavation or ground
disturbance, and involves no physical removal or physical changes to the roadways to be privatized, the
Project’s potential effects pertaining to hazards and hazardous materials can be summarized as follows:
• The Project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment;
• would not expose construction workers or Genentech employees to a significant hazard through
the renovation or demolition of buildings, or relocation of underground utilities that contain
hazardous materials; and
• would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment due to the presence of
listed hazardous materials sites
Hydrology
Given that the Project involves no construction, excavation or ground disturbance, the potential for the
Project to result in any construction-related hydrology impacts can be summarized as follows:
• The Project would not result in a violation of water quality standards or waste discharge
requirements or otherwise substantially degrade water quality during construction;
• would not substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through
the alteration of the course of a stream or river;
• would not add impervious surfaces in a manner that would result in substantial erosion or
siltation on- or off-site;
• would not substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner that would
result in flooding on- or off-site; and

Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 42
• would not create or contribute runoff water that would exceed the capacity of existing or
planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted
runoff
Land Use
Given that the Project involves no construction, excavation or ground disturbance, the potential for the
Project to result in construction-related land use impacts can be summarized as follows:
• The Project would not physically divide an established community;
• would not include any new buildings that would exceed elevations indicated as SFO “critical
aeronautical surfaces”; and
• would not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community
conservation plan
Noise
Given that the Project involves no construction, excavation or ground disturbance, the potential for the
Project to result in construction-related noise impacts can be summarized as follows:
• The Project would not include any construction activities that could generate a substantial
temporary increase in ambient noise levels in excess of noise standards established in SSFMC;
and
• Would not involve construction that might generate excessive ground-borne vibration that
could adversely affect vibration-sensitive equipment and persons
Population and Housing
Given that the Project involves no construction, excavation or ground disturbance, the potential for the
Project to result in construction-related population impacts can be summarized as follows:
• Implementation of the Project would not displace any existing housing that would necessitate
construction of replacement housing elsewhere.
Utilities
Given that the Project involves no construction, excavation or ground disturbance, the potential for the
Project to result in construction-related impacts to utilities can be summarized as follows:
• the Project would not require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded
water, wastewater or storm drain conveyance facilities, the construction or relocation of which
could cause significant environmental effects
No New or More Severe Operational Impacts
The Project is limited to privatization and potential closure/partial closure to public through traffic of
three existing streets within the Genentech Campus (DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and a
segment of Cabot Road), removal of the SSF 2040 General Plan’s Local Street designation of these
roadways, and adding six new properties to the Genentech Campus. No new development or
redevelopment involving these properties is currently proposed, and no increase in building space or
employment would result as part of the Project.
The privatization of three existing streets and the addition of six properties to the Genentech Master
Plan would add approximately 18.3 acres to the Campus. With a development potential of a 1.0 FAR,
194
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 43
these additional properties could theoretically result in a corresponding increase of approximately
797,000 square feet of additional development within the Campus beyond that permitted pursuant to
the Genentech Master Plan. However, even with the addition of these properties to the Campus,
Genentech is not proposing to increase the potential buildout of the Campus beyond the 9,008,000
square feet as approved in the 2020 Master Plan and analyzed in the Prior EIRs.
Accordingly, the Project would not result in any substantial change to the analyses and findings
presented in the Prior EIRs for the following impact issue areas related to development and operations
within the Genentech Campus.
Air Quality
During operations, buildout of the Genentech Master Plan would result in a cumulatively considerable
net increase of criteria pollutants for which the region is non-attainment, including emissions that
exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors. Specifically, average daily operational emissions
are projected to exceed 54 pounds per-day of reactive organic gas (ROG) and nitrogen oxides. During
operational activities, the Master Plan could expose sensitive receptors to substantial health risk from
operational-related emissions if operational sources of TAC emissions are not limited in location and
operational parameters.
No new development or redevelopment is currently proposed pursuant to the Project, and no new or
more severe air quality impacts would result from the Project.
GHG Emissions
Given that the Project involves no development or new building space within the Campus, the potential
for the Project to result in operational-related GHG impacts can be summarized as follows:
• the Project would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to stationary source
GHG emissions and will have no influence on Genentech’s participation in the CARB’s Cap-and-
Trade program;
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to stationary source emissions of
GHG not otherwise addressed under the Cap-and-Trade program; and
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to conflicts with an applicable plan,
policy, or regulation adopted for the purposes of reducing the emissions of GHGs, and
specifically the Genentech Campus Master Plans’ consistent with the City’s Climate Action
Program)
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Given that the Project involves no development or new building space within the Campus, the potential
for the Project to result in operational impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials can be
summarized as follows:
• the Project would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to the routine transport,
use, disposal or storage of hazardous materials;
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts to the public or the environment through
reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment;
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to hazardous emissions or handling
of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances or waste;
195
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 44
• would not result in any new or more severe safety hazard impacts related to proximity to the
Airport Land Use Plan boundaries of San Francisco International Airport; and
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to expose of people or structures to
wildland fires
Hydrology
Given that the Project involves no development or new building space within the Campus, the potential
for the Project to result in operational impacts related to hydrology can be summarized as follows:
• the Project would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to a decrease in
groundwater supplies or interference with groundwater recharge; and
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to contributions of stormwater
runoff that could exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or
provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff
Noise
Given that the Project involves no development or new building space within the Campus, the potential
for the Project to result in operational impacts related to noise can be summarized as follows:
• the Project would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to permanent ambient
noise levels in the vicinity; and
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to operational ground-borne
vibration;
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to increased traffic volumes that
would increase local ambient traffic noise levels; and
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to the expose people working in the
Project Area to excessive airport-related noise
Land Use
Given that the Project involves no development or new building space within the Campus, the potential
for the Project to result in land use impacts can be summarized as follows:
• the Project would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to displacement of
substantial numbers of people or employment
There are three properties not previously owned or leased by Genentech, but that are now owned or
controlled by Genentech. The prior owners of those recently acquired or controlled properties have
made independent business decisions to sell those properties to Genentech. These businesses have
made private decisions to relocate these business operations or to cease operations, and the Project
does not affect or displace the prior ownership or use of these properties.
Population and Employment
Given that the Project involves no development or new building space within the Campus, the potential
for the Project to result in population or employment growth impacts can be summarized as follows:
• the Project would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to a substantial increase
in local South San Francisco employment, or inducing population growth beyond that
contemplated in the county or the region
196
Addendum to the SSF 2040 General Plan EIR and Genentech Master Plan EIR – General Plan, Master Plan and Zoning
Amendments and Roadway Acquisitions page 45
Public Services
Given that the Project involves no development or new building space within the Campus, the potential
for the Project to result in impacts to public services can be summarized as follows:
• the Project would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to any increased
demand for police services or increased demand for police facilities;
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to any increased demand for fire
protection and emergency medical services or increased demand for fire protection and
emergency medical facilities; and
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to any increased demand for
recreational space or increased demand for recreational space
Utilities
Given that the Project involves no development or new building space within the Campus, the potential
for the Project to result in impacts to public utility services can be summarized as follows:
• the Project would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to increased water
demands during normal, dray and multiple dry years;
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to increased demand for
wastewater treatment facilities;
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to increased demands for solid
waste disposal, and would not impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals;
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to incremental increased demands
for gas and electrical power; and
• would not result in any new or more severe impacts related to wasteful, inefficient or
unnecessary consumption of energy resources, or conflict with or obstruction of a state or local
plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency

CEQA Conclusion
The proposed changes to the SSF 2040 GP and the Genentech Master Plan represented by Genentech’s
proposed acquisition and potential closure/partial closure of certain public rights-of-way within the
Genentech Campus (including DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and Cabot Road) and the addition
of 4 new properties to the Genentech Campus would not lead to new significant impacts or significant
increases in the severity of any significant impacts as previously identified in the prior SSF 2040 GP EIR or
the Genentech Campus Master Plan EIR (the Project). No additional mitigation measures are required
for the proposed Project. The potential impacts associated with implementation of the Project are
within the scope of impacts identified in these Prior EIRs, and those Prior EIRs adequately address all
impacts of the changes resulting from implementation of the Project.
Based on the above, an Addendum is the appropriate CEQA document for SSF’s approval of the
proposed Project, which includes:
• General Plan Amendment to remove DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short
segment of Cabot Road as public streets, with the commitment to retain public access to Wind
Harp
• Rezoning of DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and the short segment of Cabot Road to the
Genentech Master Plan District
• Re-zoning of six newly acquired or Genentech-controlled properties to the Genentech Master
Plan District
• Transfer of ownership of the rights-of-way for DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and the
short segment of Cabot Road to Genentech
None of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 or 15163 calling for a subsequent or
supplemental EIR apply. This Addendum has appropriately disclosed the potential impacts of the
Project, and this Addendum will be included as part of the CEQA record for the SSF 2040 GP and the
Genentech Master Plan. A Notice of Determination for this Addendum will be filed with the California
State Clearinghouse within the State of California Office of Planning and Research.

248
6
limitation all furniture, equipment, machinery, inventories, supplies, signs, cables,
fiber optic wires, and other tangible personal property of every kind and nature,
except to the extent such Personal Property is part of or appurtenant to
improvements that are retained by Seller and not listed in Section 1.1,
(v) all right, title and interest now or hereafter held by Seller in and to all intangible
property (the “Intangible Property”) in connection with the Land, the

hereafter conducted thereon or with the use thereof, all transferable licenses,
permits, authorizations, approvals and certificates of occupancy issued by

2.2.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Agreement, a portion of
the Deposit in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the
“Nonrefundable Portion”) shall be non-refundable to Buyer in the event it
exercises its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.4 in order to

and deliver to Buyer an ALTA extended coverage form policy of title insurance, with

or before the Decision Date. The parties agree that the Independent Consideration
represents a bargained-for agreement representing the executory nature of this
Agreement.

subject to a public access license (the “Reserved License”) for ingress, egress, utility
and other ancillary purposes in favor of the City and members of the general public to
use the surface areas of the Roadways, as indicated on Exhibit A, and as may be more
particularly described pursuant to the Roadways Vacation. The Reserved License shall

similar easements pursuant to the form of Public Utilities Easement attached hereto as
Exhibit G identifying all necessary and required public utility easements in favor of the
Seller and/or in favor of other beneficial interest holders. Such easements shall
encumber Buyer’s interests in the Roadways, subject, however, to Buyer’s right as
owner of the burdened estate thereunder to maintain, repair, and reasonably relocate
the portions of the Infrastructure Improvements that are subject thereto, and to establish
reasonable operating procedures and access rules with respect thereto.
3. FEASIBILITY REVIEW PERIOD
3.1 Deliveries by Seller.
3.1.1 Contemporaneous with the Opening of Escrow, Escrow Holder shall deliver to
Buyer a copy of a current preliminary title report issued by the Title Company
showing the condition of title to the Property, accompanied by copies of all
documents referred to in the report (collectively, the “PTR”).
3.1.2 In order to facilitate Buyer’s review and evaluation of the Property, Seller shall
provide or make available to Buyer copies of all other non-privileged, actually
known and reasonably available documents and materials that materially relate
to the Property and are in Seller’s possession. Seller shall deliver the foregoing
items within a reasonable period of time following receipt of Buyer’s written
request therefor, it being understood and agreed that Buyer’s review pursuant to
Section 3.3 may not be reasonably completed prior to the Decision Date if
Seller’s delivery of the items described herein is delayed. In the event that a non-
privileged, actually known item is reasonably available and not provided within
fourteen (14) business days of Buyer’s request for such item, then the Decision
Date shall be extended an additional day for each day of delay after the fourteen-
day period to afford Buyer a reasonable opportunity for review and approval.
3.2 Buyer’s Review of Title.
3.2.1 Buyer shall have fifteen (15) business days following the Opening of Escrow
within which to deliver to Seller written notice of Buyer’s disapproval or
conditional approval of title as shown on the PTR (the “Disapproved
Exceptions”). Buyer’s failure to provide the notice on or before such date shall
constitute Buyer’s approval of the condition of title as shown on the PTR.
3.2.2 If Buyer timely notifies Seller of its Disapproved Exceptions by the date
referenced in Section 3.2.1, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing on or before the
251
9
thirtieth (30th) day after the Opening of Escrow that: (a) Seller has removed the
Disapproved Exceptions from title (or met Buyer’s conditions for approval of a
title exception); or (b) Seller is covenanting to do so as of or before Closing; or (c)
Seller will not remove (or meet the conditions of approval of) specified
Disapproved Exceptions. Failure to address Disapproved Exceptions in any
notice, or failure to give such a notice, shall constitute Seller’s statement that it
will not remove or otherwise address the Disapproved Exceptions. If Seller
covenants to remove any Disapproved Exceptions, such removal shall be a
condition precedent to Closing and Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement,
and failure to effect such removal shall be a breach by Seller of this Agreement.
3.2.3 If Seller does not remove or covenant to remove (or meet or covenant to meet
the conditions of approval of) any Disapproved Exceptions, Buyer shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement on or before the Decision Date or to waive its
objection to the Disapproved Exceptions in question and proceed to Closing as
Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy. Buyer’s failure to provide written notice of
termination on or before the Decision Date shall constitute Buyer’s waiver of its
disapproval of the Disapproved Exceptions. In the case of Buyer’s waiver (or
deemed waiver) of Disapproved Exceptions, Seller shall have no obligation to
remove or otherwise address the Disapproved Exceptions from title and such
waived Disapproved Exceptions shall be deemed approved. If Buyer elects to
terminate this Agreement, the provisions of Section 3.4 shall apply.
3.2.4 In this Agreement, the term “Permitted Exceptions” means: (a) installments of
general and special real property taxes and assessments not then delinquent, (b)
any encumbrance arising from the acts or omissions of Buyer, (c) public utility
easements and emergency access easements acceptable to Buyer in its sole
and absolute discretion, and (d) any other exception expressly approved by
Buyer in writing.
3.3 Buyer’s Review of the Property and Agreements
3.3.1 Review of Agreements. Buyer shall have until the Decision Date to review the
documents and other materials delivered pursuant to Section 3.1. If on the basis
of the review, or otherwise for any reason or no reason, Buyer determines in its
sole and subjective discretion that the Property is not suitable for Buyer’s
intended use, then on or before the Decision Date, Buyer may terminate this
Agreement in accordance with Section 3.4 below. Buyer’s failure to provide a
written termination notice on or before the Decision Date shall constitute Buyer’s
approval of each document and such other materials described in Section 3.1
(whether or not it was actually reviewed by Buyer).
252
10
3.3.2 Inspection of the Property
(a) Nonexclusive License. Seller hereby grants to Buyer and its agents,
employees, representatives or contractors (collectively, the “Buyer’s
Agents”) a nonexclusive license to enter onto the Property solely for the
purpose of conducting Buyer’s inspection of the Property to determine if
the Property is suitable for Buyer’s purposes (the “Inspection”). Any
Inspection work shall be at the sole cost and expense of Buyer. The
license created under this paragraph shall expire on the Closing Date (or
on the date this Agreement is terminated, if earlier than the Closing Date).
(b) Physical Testing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without first obtaining
Seller’s prior written consent, Buyer shall only conduct a visual
inspection, with no right to conduct any physical testing, boring, sampling
or removal of any portion of the Property (collectively, “Physical Testing”).
If Buyer wishes to conduct any Physical Testing of the Property, Buyer
shall submit a work plan to Seller for Seller’s prior written approval, which
Seller may modify, limit or disapprove in its sole and absolute discretion.
If Seller approves a work plan, all Physical Testing shall comply strictly
with the work plan that has been approved by Seller, and if Seller does
not approve a work plan, Buyer shall not conduct any Physical Testing of
the Property. If Buyer intends to conduct any Physical Testing, Buyer
shall, prior to commencing any such Physical Testing, provide Seller with
sufficient evidence to show that Buyer and Buyer’s Agents who are to
enter upon the Property are adequately covered by policies of insurance
insuring Buyer and Seller against any and all liability arising out of
Buyer’s or Buyer’s Agents’ entry upon and Inspection of the Property,
including without limitation any loss or damage to the Property, with
coverage in the amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.
(c) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Buyer agrees to
hold harmless, defend and indemnify and hereby releases Seller and its
respective successors and assigns (the “Seller’s Parties”) and the
Property from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of
actions, losses, liabilities, liens, encumbrances, costs or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs) arising out of,
connected with or incidental to any injuries to persons (including death) or
property (real or personal) by reason of Buyer or Buyer’s Agents entry on
and inspection of the Property and any Physical Testing work or activities
conducted on the Property by Buyer or Buyer’s Agents.
(d) Condition of Property. In no event shall Buyer or Buyer’s Agents have the
right to place any materials or equipment on the Property (including signs
253
11
or other advertising material) until after the Closing has occurred. Buyer
shall, at its sole cost and expense, clean up and repair the Property, in
whatever manner necessary, after Buyer’s or Buyer’s Agents’ entry so
that the Property shall be returned to the same condition that existed prior
to Buyer’s or Buyer’s Agents’ entry.
(e) Natural Hazards Disclosures. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller
may be required to disclose if Seller’s Property lies within the following
natural hazard areas or zones: (i) a special flood hazard area designated
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (California Civil Code
Section 1103(c)(1)); (ii) an area of potential flooding (California
Government Code Section 8589.4); (iii) a very high fire hazard severity
zone (California Government Code Section 51178 et seq.); (iv) a wild land
area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards (Public
Resources Code Section 4135; (v) earthquake fault zone (Public
Resources Code Section 2622); or (vi) a seismic hazard zone (Public
Resources Code Section 2696) (sometimes all of the preceding are
herein collectively called the “Natural Hazard Matters”). Buyer and Seller
hereby instruct the Escrow Holder, or an affiliate thereof (who, in such
capacity, is called the “Natural Hazard Expert”), at Buyer’s expense, to
examine the maps and other information specifically made available to
the public by government agencies for the purposes of enabling Seller to
fulfill its disclosure obligations, if and to the extent such obligations exist,
with respect to the natural hazards referred to in California Civil Code
Section 1103 et seq. and to report the result of its examination to Buyer
and Seller in writing (the “Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement”). Buyer
agrees to provide Seller with a written acknowledgment of its receipt of
the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Buyer’s receipt of the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement shall not be
deemed to modify or otherwise affect any other express representation,
warranty or covenant of Seller set forth in this Agreement, and shall not
constitute a waiver of any of Buyer’s rights arising out of a breach by
Seller of the express representations, warranties and covenants of Seller
expressly set forth in this Agreement.
(f) Termination of this Agreement. On or before the Decision Date, Buyer
shall have the right to prepare or cause the preparation of, obtain, review
and approve, among other things, such studies, reports, investigations
and analyses of the Property, including such soils, geological,
engineering and environmental tests and reports and other inspections of
the Property as Buyer shall deem necessary in order to determine
whether the Property is suitable for Buyer’s intended use, and to review
and investigate all applicable zoning requirements, federal, state and
254
12
local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits, licenses, approvals
and orders. If, on the basis of the review and the Inspection described in
this Section, or for any other reason or no reason, Buyer determines in its
sole and subjective discretion that the Property is not suitable for Buyer’s
intended use, then on or before the Decision Date, Buyer may terminate
this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.4. Buyer’s failure to provide
such notice on or before the Decision Date shall constitute Buyer’s
approval of the items described in this paragraph and of the condition of
the Property.
3.4 Buyer’s Termination.
3.4.1 If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Sections 3.2 or
3.3, then, on or before the Decision Date, Buyer shall give Seller and Escrow
Holder written notice that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement. Buyer’s
failure to provide the notice by the specified deadline shall constitute Buyer’s
waiver of Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement for reasons for which that
deadline applied and a waiver of any condition to Closing relating to such
deadline, but not as to the reasons for which a later deadline applies. In the event
Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section, the Escrow
Holder shall return to the depositor thereof any funds and interest thereon
accrued while in Escrow and materials previously placed in Escrow and
remaining in Escrow; Seller shall return to Buyer any of the Deposit and interest
earned thereon while in Escrow to the extent that the sums were released to
Seller (minus the Nonrefundable Portion); Buyer shall deliver to Seller a duly
executed and acknowledged quitclaim deed as described in Section 8.11 below;
Buyer shall pay all title and escrow charges; and neither party shall thereafter
have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement unless expressly
provided otherwise in this Agreement.
3.4.2 The Nonrefundable Portion of the Deposit shall be released to Seller in
consideration of Seller’s agreement to allow Buyer to have the right to terminate
this Agreement and obtain a refund of the Deposit as stated in Section 3.4 above.
The parties agree that without such right to terminate, Buyer would not have
entered into this Agreement, and without such payment, Seller would not have
agreed to take the Property off the market during the period prior to the Decision
Date.
3.5 Seller’s Termination. If Seller elects to terminate this Agreement as a result of a material
breach of Buyer’s obligations hereunder, then, within fifteen(15) business days after the
date that Seller discovers the material breach, Seller shall give Buyer and Escrow
Holder written notice that Seller elects to terminate this Agreement. Seller’s failure to
provide the notice by the specified deadline shall constitute Seller’s waiver of Seller’s
right to terminate this Agreement for reasons for which that deadline applied. In the
255
13
event Seller elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section, subject to
Section 6.6, the Escrow Holder shall return to the depositor thereof any funds and
interest thereon accrued while in Escrow and materials previously placed in Escrow and
remaining in Escrow; subject to Section 6.6, Seller shall return to Buyer any of the
Deposit and interest earned thereon while in Escrow to the extent that the sums were
released to Seller (minus the Independent Consideration and the Non-Refundable
Portion); Buyer shall deliver to Seller a duly executed and acknowledged quitclaim deed
as described in Section 8.11 below; Buyer shall pay all title and escrow charges; and
neither party shall thereafter have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement
unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement.

of the Roadways (or portions thereof) and provide for reconfiguration and/or
redevelopment of the Property for an alternative use. As part of any application for such
development permits or modifications to the Master Plan that impact Vacation Areas #1,
Vacation Area #3 or Vacation Area #4 (as such terms are defined below), Buyer shall
under the circumstances set forth below submit an appraisal prepared pursuant to
Section 7.2 of the fair market value (FMV) of the Property if developed as proposed in

green, pink and blue on Exhibit A and described, respectively, on Exhibit A-1
(“Vacation Area #1), Exhibit A-2 (Vacation Area #3) and Exhibit A-3 (Vacation
Area #4) shall remain as publicly-accessible Roadways subject to the
Maintenance and License Agreement and shall not be eligible for change in use
except as set forth herein. Any application to change the use or configuration
(other than minor modifications to location or configuration of the Roadways that
do not result in a change to the total acreage of the Roadways provided for public
access) of Vacation Area #1, Vacation Area #3 or Vacation Area #4 shall be
subject to City Council approval and shall necessitate (a) an amendment to this
Agreement acceptable to the parties hereto and approved by the City Council,

(Vacation Area #2) may be subject to a proposed change in use and/or
termination of the applicable portions of the Maintenance and License
Agreement, subject to applicable City approvals, without change to the Purchase
Price because the Purchase Price set forth herein represents the FMV of said
portions of the Roadways if redeveloped as an alternative use. In light of the
foregoing, the Parties agree that if Buyer submits an application to update/modify
the Master Plan to redevelop Vacation Area #2, Buyer shall not be required to
prepare and submit an appraisal pursuant to Section 7.2 as part of such an
application, and no change to the Purchase Price shall be made.

party appraisal prepared by a valuation expert selected by the Parties in accordance
with this Section. The appraiser shall have the requisite experience and skills necessary
to prepare the appraisal and shall be selected by mutual agreement of both Parties. If
the Parties cannot agree on an appraiser, then each Party shall propose an appraiser
and the two shall select a third appraiser to perform the valuation. The appraisal shall
be prepared using appraisal instructions jointly agreed to by the Seller and Buyer. The
appraisal shall be based on the FMV of Vacation Area #1, Vacation Area #3 or Vacation
Area #4, as the case may be, for the primary use proposed by Buyer in its proposed
modifications to the Master Plan (“Modified Use Appraisal”). Both Parties assume that
the primary use will be Office/R&D.
7.3 Amount and Timing of Supplemental Payment. If Buyer’s proposed modifications to the
Master Plan are approved by the City, then Buyer shall make a an additional payment of
consideration hereunder (the “Supplemental Payment”) to the Seller in an amount that
is equal to the FMV of Vacation Area #1, Vacation Area #3 or Vacation Area #4, as the
case may be, as identified in the Modified Use Appraisal, Under no circumstances shall
the per square foot cost included in the Supplemental Payment be less than the per
square foot cost utilized in the Purchase Price. The Supplemental Payment shall be
267
25
paid upon termination of the Reserved License for the applicable Roadway as
contemplated in Section 7.4.
7.4 Required City Approvals and Termination of Public Access. As part of any proposed
modifications to the Master Plan that result in the need to terminate or amend the
Maintenance and License Agreement as to portion(s) of the Roadways proposed for
alternative use, following City approval thereof, compliance with all provisions of this
Section 7, and the passage of any applicable appeal or challenge periods without any
such appeal or challenge (or the favorable satisfaction of any such appeal or challenge),
the Maintenance and License Agreement shall terminate or be amended as to those
portion(s) of the Roadways and said portion(s) will no longer be publicly accessible
space. Buyer shall install prominent signage at several locations along the Roadways a
minimum of ninety (90) days in advance of any closure to the public.

MAINTENANCE AND PUBLIC ACCESS LICENSE AGREEMENT
Genentech Campus Master Plan
THIS MAINTENANCE AND PUBLIC ACCESS LICENSE AGREEMENT
(“AGREEMENT”) is made and entered into as of _____________, 20__ (hereinafter,
“EFFECTIVE DATE”), by and between the CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, a municipal
corporation ("CITY”), and GENENTECH, INC., a Delaware corporation, and its successors in
interest, assigns and transferees ( “GENENTECH,” with CITY and GENENTECH collectively
referred to herein as the “PARTIES”), with reference to the following facts:
RECITALS
A. WHEREAS, GENENTECH has a legal and/or equitable interest in certain real
property located in the CITY on the approximately 207-acre site commonly known as the
“GENENTECH Campus” (the “Campus”). The Campus is more particularly described in Exhibit
A of that certain Development Agreement by and between City of South San Francisco and
Genentech, Inc., bearing the Effective Date of December 31, 2020, adopted by the City Council of
the City of South San Francisco (the “CITY COUNCIL”) in Ordinance No. 1615-2020, and
recorded on ________, 202__ in the Official Records of San Mateo County as Recorders
Document No. ________ (“DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT”).
B. WHEREAS, on November 24, 2020 and December 1, 2020, the CITY COUNCIL
unanimously approved GENENTECH’s Campus Master Plan Update project (the “PROJECT”),
which approval included, but was not limited to, adoption of the DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT, certification of that certain Environmental Impact Report for the GENENTECH
Master Plan Update, State Clearinghouse No. 2017052064 (“Project EIR”), approval of that certain
GENENTECH Master Plan Update (“MASTER PLAN”), and approval of certain amendments to
the CITY’s Genentech Master Plan Zoning District so as to facilitate implementation of the
MASTER PLAN.
C. WHEREAS, the MASTER PLAN articulates a vision for new growth and
development within the Campus that fosters intensification of development and infill
development by serving as a general guide for the future placement and design of individual
buildings and other Campus improvements over time. Because the MASTER PLAN is an overall
development framework that provides the basis for future approvals, it provides for flexibility
during implementation. Rather than establishing the location, size or design of individual
buildings and improvements, it permits such details to be developed over the course of the
MASTER PLAN’s planning horizon.
D. WHEREAS, to promote the MASTER PLAN’s stated objective of establishing an
integrated and walkable Campus that implements a more pedestrian-oriented, shared street
concept that prioritizes people over motorized vehicles, the MASTER PLAN contemplates the
closure of certain internal, public streets and roadways, such contemplated roadways are
commonly known as “DNA Way,” “Point San Bruno Boulevard” and “Cabot Road”
(collectively, the “ROADWAYS”). All such ROADWAYS pass through the central portion of
289
#505851811_v2
the MASTER PLAN’s “Upper Campus” planning area, and reconfiguration of such
ROADWAYS would thereby improve pedestrian connections between indoor spaces and
outdoor spaces so as to activate the Campus core while also permitting continued transit and
emergency access through the use of special pavers or other appropriate design treatments in
support of the vision of the MASTER PLAN.
E. WHEREAS, to facilitate the implementation of the MASTER PLAN, and the
design and future improvement of pedestrian-oriented circulation improvements in accordance
with the MASTER PLAN and applicable administrative or discretionary approval processes set
forth in the City of South San Francisco Municipal Code, the CITY and GENENTECH entered
into a Real Property Purchase, Sale and Maintenance Agreement and Escrow Instructions, dated
as of _____________, 2025 (the “STREETS PURCHASE AGREEMENT”), pursuant to which
the CITY agreed to sell and GENENTECH agreed to purchase certain real property interests in
the ROADWAYS following the CITY’s completion of statutory vacation proceedings to
terminate the public streets within the ROADWAYS provided that certain limited rights of
public access and use along said formerly public rights-of-way are maintained pursuant to the
license granted by this AGREEMENT (“LICENSE”), and further provided that GENENTECH
agrees to take on ongoing responsibilities for the improvement, landscaping and maintenance of
the internal portions of the Campus that were formerly public rights-of-way consistent with the
MASTER PLAN and subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
F. WHEREAS, in connection with the STREETS PURCHASE AGREEMENT and in
furtherance of the development of the PROJECT, CITY has formally vacated the public property
interests and any and all ownership rights of the public in and to the ROADWAYS in accordance
with the applicable statutory procedures; and
G. WHEREAS, as a requirement of the STREETS PURCHASE AGREEMENT and
in order to maintain public access to the ROADWAYS after the CITY’s vacation, the CITY and
GENENTECH agreed to enter into this AGREEMENT to outline the terms and conditions for the
LICENSE for continued public access to the ROADWAYS and conditions under which any of
said ROADWAYS may be closed to public access in the future; and
H. WHEREAS, except as otherwise stated herein, any future termination of the
LICENSE or any portion thereof granted herein and the associated termination of public access
rights as to any portion of the ROADWAYS requires a fair market value (“FMV”) appraisal of the
applicable portion(s) of the ROADWAYS and a supplemental payment to CITY for the FMV of
said ROADWAYS or portion(s) thereof; and
I. WHEREAS, pursuant to the STREETS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, CITY shall
continue to maintain public utilities and infrastructure located in the ROADWAYS after vacation
and GENENTECH shall grant CITY this LICENSE to access the public utilities and infrastructure
for purposes of performing said maintenance and GENENTECH shall reimburse CITY for the cost
of said maintenance; and
J. WHEREAS, pursuant to the STREETS PURCHASE AGREEMENT,
GENENTECH agreed, at its sole cost and expense, to maintain, repair and replace the
290
#505851811_v2
ROADWAYS and associated existing infrastructure improvements as needed after conveyance
and vacation of the ROADWAYS; and
K. WHEREAS, CITY has determined that the public interests in the limited use and
access rights in favor of the public as contemplated herein and in the MASTER PLAN and the
PROJECT approvals, are adequately furthered and protected by the LICENSE provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and
promises herein contained, the PARTIES hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Grant of License. GENENTECH hereby grants to CITY, for use and enjoyment by
CITY and members of the public subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this
LICENSE providing a permanent and perpetual right of access and non-exclusive use over and
across the portions of the Campus (the “LICENSE AREA”) improved and designated as the
ROADWAYS, as depicted in green, pink, blue, and orange on Exhibit A and described,
respectively, on Exhibit A-1 (ROADWAY AREA 1), Exhibit A-2 (ROADWAY AREA 3),
Exhibit A-3 (ROADWAY AREA 4) and Exhibit A-4 (ROADWAY AREA 2) hereto, for (i)
vehicular and pedestrian ingress to, and egress from, the portions of the Campus as described
herein and (ii) the construction, maintenance, operation, testing, inspection, repair, removal,
replacement, reconstruction or abandonment of any City-owned public infrastructure and utilities
(including CATV facilities) (the “CITY FACILITIES”) located or to be located within the
ROADWAYS, and such appurtenances thereto as may be necessary or convenient for the
operation of such CITY FACILITIES , subject in all respects to the terms, conditions and
provisions of this AGREEMENT; reserving, however, unto GENENTECH, its successors and
assigns, all other rights in and to the LICENSE AREA.
2. Terms and Conditions of LICENSE. The LICENSE set forth herein is granted by
GENENTECH to CITY upon the following express covenants and conditions:
2.1 Continuation of ROADWAYS in Present Form. GENENTECH shall keep and
maintain the ROADWAYS in their present form and in the locations depicted in the MASTER
PLAN, subject to GENENTECH’s obligations to repair, replace and maintain the ROADWAYS
pursuant to the Maintenance Obligations outlined in Section 3 below and the STREETS
PURCHASE AGREEMENT. GENENTECH shall not alter, obstruct, or modify the ROADWAYS
in any way, nor take any action to impede or interfere with public use and enjoyment of the
ROADWAYS pursuant to this LICENSE.
2.2 Minor Relocation and Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GENENTECH
shall at all times following the Effective Date have the right to relocate, adjust or reposition
portions of the ROADWAYS in minor, non-material ways, subject to a ministerial approval to be
considered and granted on behalf of the CITY by the CITY’s Director of Community and
Economic Development or Director of Public Works or their respective designees, which approval
shall not be subject to notice and public hearing and shall be processed by the CITY in similar
fashion to an ADMINISTRATIVE PROJECT APPROVAL pursuant to the DEVELOPMENT
291
#505851811_v2
AGREEMENT. The denial by the CITY’s Director of Community and Economic Development or
Director of Public Works or designees of any such minor relocation or adjustment may be appealed
by GENENTECH through a discretionary process to the CITY COUNCIL, Planning Commission
or other applicable approval body.
2.3 Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, GENENTECH hereby agrees to,
and does hereby: (a) indemnify, defend, and hold CITY, its officers, employees and agents,
harmless from and against any claims, demands, suits, liability or responsibility whatsoever
(hereinafter “CLAIMS”) for any damage or injury of any kind whatsoever, regardless of fault
(subject to the next sentence), to any person or property by reason of use of the LICENSE and
GENENTECH’s maintenance of the ROADWAYS; and (b) release CITY from any CLAIMS for
damage or liability which might occur to the real and personal property underlying the CAMPUS
(the “CAMPUS FACILITIES”), by reason of any lawful use of the LICENSE AREA by CITY or
the PUBLIC. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the indemnity, defend, hold
harmless, and release set forth in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent any CLAIMS
are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any employee, personnel, contractor;
or subcontractor of CITY or to the extent any CLAIMS are caused by CITY’s negligence in the
maintenance of CITY FACILITIES.
2.4 Future Use of ROADWAYS and Termination of Public Access LICENSE. In the
future, GENENTECH may submit an application to the CITY for approval of development permits
or modifications to the MASTER PLAN, if required, to change the use of the ROADWAY AREA
#2, ROADWAY AREA #3, or ROADWAY AREA #4 (or portions thereof) and provide for
reconfiguration and/or redevelopment of one or more of the applicable ROADWAYS for an
alternative use. ROADWAY AREA #1 shall remain publicly-accessible pursuant to this LICENSE
in perpetuity to ensure access to the Wind Harp and GENENTECH does not intend to seek a
change in use for ROADWAY AREA #1. As part of any application for such development permits
or required modifications to the MASTER PLAN that impact ROADWAY AREA #3 or
ROADWAY AREA #4 (as such terms are defined below), GENENTECH shall under the
circumstances set forth below submit an appraisal prepared pursuant to Section 2.4(c) of the fair
market value (FMV) of the applicable property if developed as proposed in GENENTECH’s
application. GENENTECH shall not seek a termination of the LICENSE for public access to
ROADWAY AREA #3 or ROADWAY AREA #4 pursuant to this Section 2 until January 1, 2031
or later.
a. ROADWAYS Requiring Appraisal and Supplemental Payment. The Parties
understand and agree that the portions of the ROADWAYS depicted in pink and blue on Exhibit
A and described, respectively, on Exhibit A-2 (ROADWAY AREA #3) and Exhibit A-3
(ROADWAY Area #4) shall remain as publicly-accessible ROADWAYS subject to this
AGREEMENT and shall not be eligible for change in use except as set forth herein. Any
application to change the use or configuration (other than minor modifications to location or
configuration of the ROADWAYS that do not result in a change to the total acreage of the
ROADWAYS provided for public access) of ROADWAY AREA #3 or ROADWAY AREA #4
shall be subject to City Council approval and shall necessitate (a) an amendment to this Agreement
acceptable to the parties hereto and approved by the City Council, and (b) the payment of a
supplemental amount pursuant to Section 2.4(d) acceptable to the parties hereto and approved by
the City Council based upon the FMV of such ROADWAY Areas, as determined by an appraisal
292
#505851811_v2
pursuant to Section 2.4(c). For the avoidance of doubt, the portions of the LICENSE applicable
to ROADWAY AREA #3 and ROADWAY AREA #4 of the ROADWAYS may not be terminated
without a written amendment to this Agreement executed by both Parties and approved by the City
Council.
b. ROADWAYS Not Requiring Appraisal and Supplemental Payment. The
Parties agree that notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of the ROADWAYS depicted in
orange on Exhibit A and described on Exhibit A-4 (ROADWAY AREA #2) may be subject to a
proposed change in use and/or termination of the applicable portions of the LICENSE, subject to
applicable City approvals, without change to the Purchase Price (as specified in the STREETS
PURCHASE AGREEMENT) because the Purchase Price set forth in the STREETS PURCHASE
AGREEMENT represents the FMV of said portions of the ROADWAYS if redeveloped as an
alternative use. In light of the foregoing, the Parties agree that if GENENTECH submits a
development application or any required application to update/modify the MASTER PLAN to
redevelop ROADWAY AREA #2, GENENTECH shall not be required to prepare and submit an
appraisal pursuant to Section 2.4(c) as part of such an application, and no change to the Purchase
Price shall be made. However, an amendment to this AGREEMENT shall be required to terminate
the LICENSE as to ROADWAY AREA #2 as part of any City approvals for the underlying project.
c. Appraisal. The appraisal contemplated in Section 2.4(a) shall be an
independent third-party appraisal prepared by a valuation expert selected by the Parties in
accordance with this subsection (c). The appraiser shall have the requisite experience and skills
necessary to prepare the appraisal and shall be selected by mutual agreement of both Parties. If the
Parties cannot agree on an appraiser, then each Party shall propose an appraiser and the two shall
select a third appraiser to perform the valuation. The appraisal shall be prepared using appraisal
instructions jointly agreed to by CITY and GEN ENTECH. The appraisal shall be based on the
FMV of ROADWAY AREA #3 or ROADWAY AREA #4, as the case may be, for the primary
use proposed by GENENTECH in its proposed modifications to the MASTER PLAN
(“MODIFIED USE APPRAISAL”). Both Parties assume that the primary use will be Office/R&D.
d. Amount and Timing of Supplemental Payment. If GENENTECH’s
proposed modifications to the MASTER PLAN are approved by the CITY, then GENENTECH
shall make an additional payment of consideration hereunder (the “SUPPLEMENTAL
PAYMENT”) to CITY in an amount that is equal to the FMV of ROADWAY AREA #3 or
ROADWAY AREA #4, as the case may be, as identified in the MODIFIED USE APPRAISAL.
Under no circumstances shall the per square foot cost included in the SUPPLEMENTAL
PAYMENT be less than the per square foot cost utilized in the Purchase Price. The
SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT shall be paid upon execution of the Amendment to this
AGREEMENT providing for termination of the LICENSE for the applicable portion of the
ROADWAYS.
e. Required City Approvals and Termination of Public Access. As part of any
proposed modifications to the MASTER PLAN that result in the need to terminate the LICENSE
as to portion(s) of the ROADWAYS proposed for alternative use, following CITY approval
thereof, compliance with all provisions of this Section 2.4, and the passage of any applicable appeal
or challenge periods without any such appeal or challenge (or the favorable satisfaction of any
such appeal or challenge), the LICENSE shall terminate as to those portion(s) of the ROADWAYS
293
#505851811_v2
and said portion(s) will no longer be publicly accessible space. GENENTECH shall install
prominent signage at several locations along the ROADWAYS a minimum of ninety (90) days in
advance of any closure to the public.
2.5 Termination of License for Default. PARTIES acknowledge and agree that the
LICENSE is a license coupled with an interest. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4 above,
the LICENSE and all privileges granted thereby may only be terminated upon the mutual written
agreement of the PARTIES or upon the occurrence of a DEFAULT (as hereinafter defined) by
CITY. As used herein, CITY shall be in default under this AGREEMENT (“DEFAULT”) if CITY
breaches any material provision of this AGREEMENT and such breach remains uncured for a

Blvd., and a portion of Cabot Road to public through traffic.
3.The Genentech Master Plan area,as evaluated in the Genentech 2020 Master Plan EIR (State
Clearinghouse No.2017052064)and confirmed in the 2025 Addendum,is physically suitable for the
proposed land use designation(s)and the anticipated development since the area is well served by multi-
modal transportation options,private commuter shuttle options,existing infrastructure and utilities,and
other public services as identified for further investment as part of the Genentech Master Plan’s
implementation.
4.The 2025 Genentech Master Plan Amendments do not make any changes to the development and design
standards adopted within the 2020 Master Plan,and therefore will continue to be superior to
development otherwise allowed under conventional zoning classifications since the Genentech 2020
Master Plan provides additional development and design standards to promote high density life sciences
development,and concurrently,proposes enhancements to circulation,parking,utilities,and public
services to accommodate anticipated growth within the employment districts.
SECTION 2. DECISION
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco
hereby makes the findings contained in this Resolution and adopts the Genentech 2020 Master Plan
Amendments (MPM25-0001)attached as Exhibit A and the associated General Plan Amendments (GPA25-
0001) attached as Exhibit B.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and
adoption.

Exhibit A - Genentech Master Plan Amendments
Genentech Master Plan Amendments to incorporate additional properties, including the vacated streets.
Chapter 3: Urban Design
1. Page 45 - update the third bullet to read:
• A shared-street concept may be considered, whereby DNA Way is scheduled for partial
closure to general vehicle traffic during specified times of the day, and opened as a
pedestrian-only environment with accommodations for emergency vehicles and shuttle
and bus access. A pedestrian oriented Campus may be achieved by vacating DNA Way,
Point San Bruno Boulevard and Cabot Road. With review and approval by the City, these
roads may remain open, partially open, or closed, as long as proper emergency vehicle,
and shuttle and bus access is provided. Any future closure of these streets to public
access shall follow the process outlined in the associated Purchase and Sale Agreement
and Maintenance and License Agreement. These agreements require a future appraisal
and a supplemental payment to the City if certain identified portions of the roadway are
proposed for closure.
2. Page 53 - amend to read:
• Additionally, Genentech intends to engage the City in a conversation about the potential
for a daily closure of to vacate and privatize portions of DNA Way, Point San Bruno
Boulevard and Cabot Road where it passes through the central portion of the Upper
Campus. These road segments currently only serve the Genentech Campus and Wind
Harp. The purpose of this road closure these street vacations would be to further align the
design of the central Campus with the urban design objectives listed in Section 3.2 and to
work with the City to make this road segment these roadway segments into a more
pedestrian-oriented place where people are prioritized over vehicles. The public road
closure might only occur between the morning and afternoon peak traffic hours, so that
regular vehicle traffic would continue during non-peak hours (including at night). Any
future modification to the use of the road as a thoroughfare or vehicular access will be
reviewed and approved through the City.
3. Page 63 - replace the 4th bullet point as follows:
• Consider partial closure of DNA Way within the Campus core area to vehicle traffic
during scheduled times of the workday, better establishing this area as a pedestrian
priority zone. Consider privatization of DNA Way, Point San Bruno Boulevard and Cabot
Road within the Campus Core area to support and prioritize a pedestrian oriented campus.
Chapter 4: Transportation, Circulation and Parking
4. Page 89 - amend the 3rd bullet as follows:
• DNA Way is a two-way road connecting East Grand Avenue with Forbes Boulevard
passing through the center of the Genentech Campus. A City approved plan will need to
be implemented if the street is partially closed to through traffic.
5. Page 95, Potential DNA Way Closure – amend as follows:
• DNA Way is the main public street through the Campus and provides public circulation
from East Grand Avenue to Forbes Boulevard. Genentech-related vehicles are the
primary users of this road. As part of the Urban Design strategy of this Master Plan
Update, Genentech is exploring the possibility of a daily closure of DNA Way to public
through traffic east of Wind Harp, where it passes through the central portion of the
Upper Campus. The purpose of this partial road closure would be to make this road 314
segment, which bisects the center of the Campus, into a more pedestrian-oriented
place where people are prioritized over vehicles. A possible road closure or
changes to the site circulation would be reviewed and approved by the City prior to
implementing any roadway closures.
The public road closure might only occur between the morning and afternoon peak
traffic hours (e.g., between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM) so that public circulation
would continue during non-closure hours (including at night). During the non-
closure hours, DNA Way would be fully open to public traffic, and would provide
non-peak commuters with convenient access to all on-Campus parking facilities.
The road closure would only affect private vehicles. All public transit and
Genentech transit services, including the gRide shuttle system and Genentech
service vehicles, would continue to use DNA Way at all times in dedicated and
clearly identified lanes.
With implementation of a broader parking garage strategy, commuters and visitors
to the Campus would be able to access new parking facilities around the outer
edges of the Campus, and would not need to drive through the Upper Campus at
all. Allerton, Forbes and East Grand Avenue would be unaffected.
Within the Upper Campus (i.e., between the entrance to Building 35 and the
intersection at Point San Bruno Boulevard near the B30 Quad buildings), the
former DNA Way right- of-way would be designed to look and feel “different”
than a traditional public street.
This design treatment may include special pavers rather than asphalt, dedicated
bike lanes, rolled curbs, and adjacent pedestrian amenities. These design
strategies are intended to allow this former street segment to function as a
designated pedestrian environment. , shared with transit and emergency vehicle
use.
6. Page 100 - amend the 2nd bullet as follows:
• Considering a shared-street concept whereby portions of the campus are DNA
Way is scheduled for closure to general traffic, and opened as a pedestrian
environments with accommodations for shuttles, service vehicles, and buses
only. For people to be comfortable and safe, designs for this these spaces will
prioritize pedestrians (e.g., special paving to demarcate a shared pedestrian/auto-
zone, and landscaped bulb-outs within the street at pedestrian pathway
intersections)

Chapter 9: Mobility and Access
1.Modify the Roadway Network diagram (Figure 14: Proposed Roadway Network on
page 182 of the General Plan) to remove DNA Way as ‘Existing Connector (Collector)’.
As defined in the General Plan, connector (collector) streets are primary or secondary
streets within the city that serve as corridors to major destinations. While the Genentech
Campus is a major destination, use of DNA Way and Point San Bruno Boulevard are
overwhelmingly used by employees of Genentech who will maintain access to campus
via the existing streets that surround the campus.
2.Modify the Truck Network and Restrictions diagram (Figure 16: Truck Network and
Restrictions on page 187 of the General Plan) to remove DNA Way as a designated
“Truck Route”.
The General Plan uses a base street network map throughout all figures within the General Plan
to provide context to the reader, and this base map often shows DNA Way and Point San
Bruno as Connector Streets. Since these base maps are intended only to provide context and do
not relay standards or specific roadway requirements, the requested General Plan Amendments
are limited to Figures 14 and 16 discussed above.

Report regarding a resolution approving the South San Francisco Conference Center Authority Fiscal Year
2025 - 26 Budget.(Jim McGuire, South San Francisco Conference Center Authority Executive Director)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco adopt a resolution approving the South San Francisco
Conference Center Authority Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The South San Francisco Conference Center Authority (“Conference Center Authority”),which includes members Mayor Flores and
Councilmember Nicolas, reviewed and approved the Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2025-26 Budget at its regular meeting on April 21, 2025.
The FY 2025-26 Budget includes a total revenue projection of $5,558,813 and a total expenditure request of $3,544,693,which is the
third consecutive year that the Conference Center Operations Projected Revenue will exceed Operational Expenditures.The
Conference Center Authority projected it will end up with a surplus of $125,815.In three (3)years since the Conference Center
Authority’s Net Income was budgeted to be in the red by $238,000,the FY 2024-25 Net Income will end up with over $341,000
surplus.
The Conference Center Authority’s FY 2025-26 Budget includes a hotel occupancy projection of 67%.It is anticipated that FY 2024
-25 year-end occupancies will be approximately 65%.The Bay Area's hotel occupancy still lags all other major market destinations
in the United States, while industry experts are hopeful for a full recovery in the years 2026-27.
The Conference Center Authority’s expenditure request reflects a continuation budget;however,funds have been increased in A&G,
Operations Services,and Sales and Marketing due to more business coming into the building than last FY and with the large
inflation factor including contract labor,the current administration’s tariff policies and other uncertainties.Property taxes and lease
budgets cover the Conference Center Authority’s requirements.
This year’s Capital Improvement Budget includes funds for ten (10)projects,including:A New Meat Slicer,Water Fountain Station
Replacements,Replace Broken Herman Miller Executive Chairs,Air Wall Refurbishment,Six (6’)Event Tables,Purchase New
Table Skirts,Dishwasher Replacement,Upgrade Front Office Area,HVAC Unit for the Oyster Point Room,Lobby Sunshades.The
full list of Capital Improvement projects is included in the FY 2025-26 Budget Document and sets forth a proposal of $423,000 in
expenditures.
The Conference Center Authority’s fund balance increased by $398,733 and the FY 2024-25 projected ending unrestricted fund
balance is approximately $4,396,387 (which is back at pre-pandemic levels)and indicates that the Conference Center Authority can
operate and pay its expenses without General Fund subsidies.
An overview of the FY 2024-25 Year End Budget and FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget is included in the table below:

Report regarding the City of South San Francisco Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26
and approving the Gann Appropriation Limit. (Karen Chang, Director of Finance and Greg
Henry, Financial Services Manager)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution that approves the City’s Fiscal
Year (FY) 2025-26 Operating Budget and the Gann Appropriations Limit.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City’s budget process is an annual cycle that aligns financial planning with service delivery,
policy goals, and community needs for the fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30. It
serves as both a financial plan and a policy document, guiding how City resources are allocated
and managed.
Each year, the process begins with the development and refinement of City Council policy
goals, typically occurring in the first quarter of the calendar year. These goals serve as a strategic
foundation for budget development, providing direction for departmental priorities, new
initiatives, and resource allocation. This early-stage policy discussion ensures that the budget
reflects the long-term vision and evolving priorities of the City Council and the community.
Following this, departments prepare budget requests based on operational needs and policy
alignment. These requests are reviewed by the Finance Director and City Manager, and
department heads participate in individual meetings to evaluate and refine their proposals.
Revenue forecasting is conducted primarily by the Finance Department for major tax categories,
while departments contribute estimates for fees, permits, and other sources.
Capital improvement requests are managed separately by the Public Works Department and
submitted via a dedicated staff report to ensure alignment with infrastructure planning and long-
term capital needs.
The public component of the budget process begins with the Budget Standing Committee,
which reviews preliminary recommendations and key assumptions. The proposed budget is then
presented in a public City Council Study Session for discussion and feedback. A final version
is adopted by the City Council in a regular meeting, completing a three-step public review and
approval process.

The process is guided by best practices in fiscal management, emphasizing transparency,
accountability, and the alignment of financial resources with strategic priorities.
The staff report and presentation have been updated following the guidance of the Budget
Standing Committee meeting on May 20, 2025, and the City Council meeting on June 11, 2025.
CITYWIDE OVERVIEW – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
While each fund, particularly the General Fund, faces specific revenue-side concerns, the cost
pressures affecting the City’s budget are broad and largely universal across departments and
funds.
A key driver of rising expenditures in the FY 2025–26 Proposed Budget is the continued growth
in personnel costs. The budget currently includes a 3% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA),
which adds approximately $3.0 million to the City’s payroll base. However, this projection may
change, as contracts for all bargaining units will expire on June 30, 2025, and are currently
being negotiated. In this context, the City must balance fiscal sustainability with the need to
retain and attract a high-quality workforce.
Healthcare premiums continue to rise this year; however, the rate of increase has tapered off
compared to last fiscal year's peak. Kaiser's premium, which rose 17% last year, shows no
change this year, while Blue Shield's rates increased by 4%, and dental premium remain
unchanged.
The City is also experiencing a sharp rise in its required pension contributions. The total
Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL) payment to CalPERS in FY 2025–26 is projected at $23.6
million — a $3.7 million or 19% increase over FY 2024–25.
These increases are primarily due to CalPERS’ adjustments in actuarial assumptions—such as
lower expected investment returns and changes in retiree longevity—as well as past investment
losses that are now being amortized over time. Additionally, COLAs for salaries in South San
Francisco have exceeded CalPERS’ actuarial assumption of 2.8%1 which further increases our
UAL payment. Since pension liabilities are closely tied to employee compensation, this higher-
than-expected wage growth has added upward pressure to the UAL. These impacts are
compounded by CalPERS’ structured amortization schedules. CalPERS uses a layered
amortization approach to manage gains and losses over time, typically spreading each year’s
changes over 20 years. These schedules are deliberately backloaded: payments begin at lower
amounts and ramp up over the first five years. While this method provides participating agencies
with less pension contribution volatility, it does result in paying more interest than straight-line
amortization of investment losses. The City is experiencing the ramp up period, and payments
are rising in FY 2025–26 not only due to new liabilities, but also due to the natural progression
of earlier amortization layers reaching their peak. This structured, escalating curve is intended
to smooth volatility over time but presents near-term budget pressures for the City.
With respect to CalPERS’ investment portfolio performance in the current fiscal year, while it
experienced significant paper losses due to market volatility from federal government tariffs,
through May 9, 2025, the market value of CalPERS investment portfolio is $533.6 billion,
which is a 6.1% year to date return on investment (ROI). Of note, it is the deviation between

the discount rate (currently 6.8%) and the ROI that determines whether CalPERS amortizes an
investment gain or loss for a fiscal year.
Other non-personnel operating costs are also rising. Mid-year adjustments to utility rates have
been carried forward into the new budget, contributing to higher baseline expenses. In addition,
ongoing inflation continues to drive up the cost of supplies, materials, and contracted services,
placing additional pressure on the City's operating budget. To help manage rising costs, the City
Manager instructed departments to be highly selective in submitting new requests during the
budget development process –especially those related to staffing. With limited exception, new
position requests were discouraged in order to contain long-term cost growth and preserve
budget flexibility. This directive reflects a strategic effort to align the City’s service levels with
available resources, ensuring fiscal sustainability while minimizing the accumulation of
ongoing obligations in a challenging revenue environment.
Table 1 illustrates the citywide impact of these trends. While revenues are projected to increase
slightly from FY 2024–25 to FY 2025–26, overall expenditures, particularly in payroll, supplies
and services, and capital improvement projects, are increasing more sharply. These cost
increases result in a projected reduction of the Citywide available fund balance of $25.0 million.

Table 1 highlights the growing gap between revenue growth and expenditure needs, a trend that
without strategic action, could significantly constrain the City’s ability to sustain existing
service levels in the years ahead.
The remainder of this report will focus primarily on the General Fund operating budget. The
General Fund is the City’s largest and primary operational fund. It is where all of the City’s
tax revenues are collected and where most essential services, delivered by departments such as
Economic and Community Development, Fire, Library, Parks and Recreation, Police, Public
Works, and City Administration, are budgeted and accounted for.

GENERAL FUND OVERVIEW – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City Council approved the FY 2024-25 mid-year budget on February 12, 2025. At that time,
General Fund total revenues and resources were projected to be $152.6 million, while
expenditures were projected at $159.5 million, resulting in a General Fund deficit of
approximately $6.9 million.
FY 2024-25 Budget Update
Since mid-year, additional updates have prompted revisions to the year-end projections.
As shown in Table 2, the projected net deficit has improved slightly, decreasing from $6.9
million to $5.8 million.
The adjustments following the mid-year, as shown in Table 2 are:
1.Following the mid-year adjustment, subsequent budget adjustments have resulted in a
net reduction of $2.7 million to the projected year-end available fund balance.
2.Further adjustments represent additional adjustments by staff on the projected revenues
and expenditures.
a.Revenues:
i.$0.2 million in City Council authorized budget adjustments increasing
revenue.
ii.$1.4 million reduction in revenue due to the one-time billboard project
being moved to the next fiscal year.
b.Expenditures:
i.$2.9 million in City Council authorized budget adjustments increasing
expenditure authority.
ii.$3 million reduction in projected payroll expenses due to additional
anticipated vacancy savings.
iii.$2.2 million reduction in Supplies and Services due to the closure of
completed purchase orders with remaining balances.

FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget
As the City begins development of the FY 2025–26 budget, it continues to monitor a range of
national and state economic risks that may impact fiscal performance. At the national level,
slower-than-expected economic growth, persistent core inflation, and the potential for
prolonged high interest rates are contributing to uncertainty in both consumer behavior and
municipal revenues. At the state level, California’s ongoing budget deficits, which are unlikely
to improve in the near term, pose additional risks, particularly for local governments that rely
on intergovernmental funding or economic activity influenced by state-level policy. These
factors present a greater risk to the City’s revenues than to its expenditures, as approximately
80 percent of General Fund spending is committed to personnel costs, which are generally stable
and less immediately impacted by economic fluctuations. These fiscal pressures provide
important context for the City’s FY 2025–26 General Fund budget, which, as shown in Table
3, relies on $12.0 million from the General Fund’s available fund balance to close the budget
gap. This represents a 41 percent reduction in the City’s available General Fund balance.

The table above provides a high-level overview of the General Fund's projected revenues and
expenditures for FY 2025–26. To better understand the factors driving the City’s financial
position, the following sections offer a more detailed breakdown, beginning with the revenue
categories. Each revenue source is influenced by a range of economic, policy, and operational
factors that affect the City’s ability to fund services and maintain fiscal stability.
1.FY 25-26 GENERAL FUND REVENUE PROJECTIONS
The FY 2025-26 Operating Budget has been developed assuming many of the revenue
categories would experience moderate to flat growth. Comparisons are generally made to the
prior year adopted budget unless otherwise noted.
1.Property Tax revenue is projected to increase based on historical trends but is slightly
lower than the mid-year update due to the assumption that the State of California will
not appropriate funds to backfill the Property Tax in-lieu Vehicle License Fee (VLF)
shortfall.
2.Sales Tax revenue is expected to decline compared to last year’s adopted budget but
remain flat relative to the mid-year update.
350
City of South San Francisco Page 6 of 14
3. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue is projected to increase modestly.
4.Other Tax revenue, which includes the voter-approved update to the Business License
Tax, is projected to increase significantly.
5.Franchise Fee revenue is expected to remain flat
6.Permit Fee revenues are projected to decrease significantly.

City of South San Francisco Page 7 of 14
Property Tax remains the City’s largest revenue source, projected at $56.9 million for FY
2025-26. Over the past five years, property tax revenues have grown at an average annual rate
of 6%, fueled by a strong economy and significant development activity. This growth is
reflected in the assessed property values in South San Francisco, which increased by 12% in
2023 and 9% in 2024.
However, in 2025, the growth in assessed values slowed sharply to just 2.23%. As a result, staff
have projected only a modest increase in property tax revenue compared to the current year’s
adjusted budget. While the growth rate is lower, staff have revised the forecasting methodology
to use the adjusted budget as the baseline, rather than the prior year’s base budget as was
previously done. Since the adjusted budget is significantly higher than the base, this change
results in a notable increase when compared to the prior base budget.
Growth in this revenue stream is further constrained by the increasing risk of shortfalls in
Property Tax In-Lieu of Vehicle License Fee (VLF) revenue, driven by the declining number
of non-basic aid schools. The State is expected to consider this claim for appropriation as part
of its FY 2025-26 budget. However, Governor Newsom’s proposed FY 2025-26 budget does
not include any appropriations to cover the FY 2023-24 shortfall, of which the City’s share is
$4.8 million. Although the State has consistently appropriated funding for San Mateo County’s
VLF shortfalls since FY 2019-20, these funds are now at significant risk due to mounting State
budget pressures and a sharp increase in the shortfall over the past three years. The City has
submitted a letter to its state representatives to address this matter. To be conservative, staff
have excluded the FY 2023-24 VLF backfill from the proposed budget but will continue to
monitor the situation and update projections as needed.
Despite these issues, property tax revenues are projected to increase by $6.7 million, which
represents a 13.3 percent increase over the FY 2024-25 adopted budget, primarily due to the
City’s growing share of property tax residuals from the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA).
Additionally, if the state backfills the FY 2023-24 VLF shortfall, the City’s projected property
tax revenue will increase by $4.8M.
Sales Tax revenues in the City of South San Francisco have fluctuated in response to various
economic factors. Since the adoption of the FY 2024-25 budget, the City’s sales tax consultant
has revised projections downward due to rising unemployment, a shift in consumer spending
from taxable goods to non-taxable services, and increasing costs in key areas such as housing,
insurance, groceries, energy, healthcare, and education. By the end of 2024, only 6 of
California’s 58 counties reported positive sales tax growth, while 26 counties experienced year-
over-year declines of at least 4% in the local 1% Bradley-Burns revenue. Statewide, sales tax
revenues have declined for seven consecutive quarters, with an eighth projected.
Consumer sentiment remains one of the most significant drivers of sales tax revenue. Amid
ongoing uncertainty related to tariffs and persistent inflationary pressures, consumer spending
has slowed, contributing to the deceleration in sales tax growth and overall revenue
performance.
Sales tax revenues in FY 2025-26 are expected to decrease by $2 million, or 8.6 percent,
compared to the FY 2024-25 adopted budget, as discussed during the FY 2024-25 Mid-Year
budget meeting in February 2025. The City’s sales tax revenue is particularly sensitive to gas
prices, as gasoline sales tax makes up a significant portion of overall sales tax revenue. As such,
352
City of South San Francisco Page 8 of 14
any major fluctuations in gas prices can directly affect revenue performance. At mid-year,
California was experiencing lower gasoline prices. With the planned closures of refineries in
the East Bay, the impact on gasoline price remains to be seen. In response, and based on updated
guidance from the City’s sales tax consultant, a FY 2024-25 mid-year adjustment was made to
revise the sales tax forecast downward. For FY 2025-26, projected sales tax revenue is $21.2
million. While this is $2.0 million lower than the FY 2024-25 adopted budget, it is slightly
higher than the revised mid-year estimate. This projection aligns with the updated trend and
reflects a stabilization in revenue following the reclassification.
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue has experienced a strong recovery since the
pandemic, reflecting renewed domestic travel activity. However, recent declines in international
tourism raise concerns, and the full extent of their impact on TOT revenue remain to be seen.
In FY 2024-25, hotel occupancy reached 66 percent. For FY 2025-26, we project a 68%
occupancy rate. Based on this assumption, staff expects TOT revenue to increase by $0.8
million, representing a 5.4% increase over last year’s adopted budget.
Other Tax revenues, comprised primarily of the Business License Tax and Commercial
Parking Tax, continue the upward trend projected at mid-year. At that time, Business License
Tax revenue was revised upward by $1 million. This additional increase results in a total of $2
million above the prior year’s adopted budget, driven by the voter-approved tax update. Staff
have increased Commercial Parking Tax revenue to match current-year actuals.
Franchise Fee revenues are expected to remain flat in FY 2025-26 compared to FY 2024-25.
The total includes a one-time electronic billboard revenue of $1.4 million, which was originally
budgeted in FY 2024-25. However, due to delays in receiving the funds, this amount is being
carried forward into FY 2025-26. The revenue is not expected to recur in future years and should
be treated as a one-time adjustment rather than ongoing income.
Licenses and Permit revenues remained relatively stable prior to FY 2022-23, supported by
strong construction activity and robust economic development throughout the City. A surge in
permits issued occurred in FY 2022-23 as developers rushed to submit applications ahead of
anticipated building code changes and fee increases, resulting in a temporary spike.
However, rising interest rates driven by persistent inflation beginning in mid-2022, combined
with increased market uncertainty and regional bank failures, created a more challenging
environment for developers in FY 2023-24. These conditions contributed to a slowdown in
project activity.
Despite these challenges, staff remains cautiously optimistic about future development but
continues to take a conservative approach to revenue projection. Permit revenues for FY 2024-
25 were adopted at $13.2 million and later adjusted upward to $13.6 million at mid-year.
However, for FY 2025-26, permit revenues are projected to decline by $2.5 million, bringing
the total to $10.7 million. This represents a significant decrease by the Building Division,
partially offset by increases from the Fire and Public Works departments. The overall decline
reflects continued softness in the development market, driven by persistently high interest rates
and ongoing economic uncertainty.
Intergovernmental revenue primarily consists of grants and includes mutual aid cost recovery
for the Fire Department’s response to disasters outside the City. This revenue has been increased
353
City of South San Francisco Page 9 of 14
by $400 thousand to align with the four-year historical trend. However, the traffic signal
maintenance fee, previously budgeted at $275 thousand, will no longer be recorded as
intergovernmental revenue and has been reduced to $0. The FY 2025-26 budget also includes
the continuation of two multi-year library grants totaling $232 thousand. As a result, the net
projected increase in intergovernmental revenue is $285 thousand, or 10.7%, when compared
to the FY 2024-25 adopted budget.
Charges for Services for FY 2025-26, staff expect to see variable changes across different
departments. Economic and Community Development (ECD) and Parks and Recreation (P&R)
are projected to have increases of 86% and 3% respectively. ECD’s increase is due to the
expectation that more projects will start over next year. However, the City anticipates lower
revenue from the Fire Department for their participation in the ambulance program of about
$350 thousand, a 9% decrease from the FY 2024-25 adopted budget.
Use Money & Property is budgeted at the same level as FY 2024–25. The primary source of
revenue for this category is investment in the U.S. Treasuries and high-quality agency bonds,
as required by statute. Given recent volatility in U.S. Treasury yields and other fixed-income
markets, staff recommends maintaining a flat projection for now, but will monitor the market
condition and provide an update during the mid-year review.
Transfers In are budgeted with a $168 thousand reduction from FY 2024–25. This is due to
the elimination of a budgeted transfer from the Developer Fee Fund from the prior year but the
inclusion of two transfers from the Special Revenue Fund: $60 thousand from Police Evidence
Revolving account to offset Police recruiting expenses and $72 thousand from the Opioid
settlement to partially offset the cost of the Crisis Intervention Specialist.

requests, along with the proposed funding budget breakdown of payroll, supplies and services.
The following provides additional information for each of the major expenditure categories.
355
City of South San Francisco Page 11 of 14
Payroll:
•As noted above, the primary drivers of payroll costs are the 3% assumed COLA salary
increase as well as the increase in the UAL and health benefit costs. While payroll
request details for all funds are provided in Attachment 2, the following are the most
impactful requests for the General Fund.
o Police
Change: New Position Crisis Intervention Specialist
Cost: $230,000
Source: Opioid settlement for $72,000, the remainder General Fund.

Supplies and Services:
•The proposed budget includes all departmental decision packages (new requests) that
have been reviewed by the City Manager and are to be submitted for City Council’s
approval. These requests are detailed in Attachment 3 for all funds. However, overall,
there are $1.5 million in new requests for the General Fund. In particular:
o $560 thousand these requests are for contractors who support the City’s permit
and fee process, which means these costs are directly offset by increased
projected revenue.
o $100 thousand are related to the increased operating costs for the new pool.
o $300 thousand from the City Manager’s office.
$200 thousand request is for contract service for Abandoned/Derelict
Vessel Removal/Destruction at Oyster Point.
$100 thousand for the biennial community survey.
o $50 thousand for additional mental health services in the Police Department.
Interdepartmental Charges:
•Interdepartmental Charges are expenses that are accounted for in the General Fund
(and other funds as necessary) and then transferred out to support internal services
functions. The largest internal service fund is the Information Technology (IT)
Department. In effect, the cost of providing IT services is calculated and then
“charged” to various City funds, with the General Fund bearing the majority of the
charge.
356
City of South San Francisco Page 12 of 14
3. OTHER FUNDS
There are other funds that the City Council oversees beyond the General Fund. The new requests
from other funds can be found in Attachment 3. Many of the final budgets for these funds are
contingent upon the adoption of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) by City Council. The
numbers may change based upon Council’s action related to the FY 2025-26 CIP program.
As noted in the Citywide section, the City’s Enterprise Funds are also experiencing pressure
from rising costs. The three Enterprise Funds—Sewer, Parking District, and Stormwater, are
summarized below in Table 7. Each fund follows a distinct process for adjusting revenues;
however, due to statutory limitations in increasing Stormwater funding, this fund is currently
heavily subsidized with operational transfers: $250 thousand from the General Fund, $670
thousand from Gas Tax.

4. OTHER REQUESTS NOT INCLUDED
Due to ongoing fiscal pressures, departments have opted not to include several items in this
year’s budget request. Some of these items were previously submitted as one-time needs or are
directly aligned with Council priorities. While they are not part of the proposed budget, the
Economic and Community Development (ECD) Department wishes to bring the following
items to Council’s attention for transparency and potential discussion:
• BIO Conference 2026 – $100 thousand; consider opting for a different venue
• Citywide Holiday Decorations – $170 thousand
• Promotores Social Service Navigators – $165 thousand
Additionally, the Police Department will bring a Drone contract to Council in July/Aug 2025
for separate appropriation.
5. RESERVES
The City’s financial reserve funds are expected to be approximately $56.4 million. A
breakdown is shown below:
357
City of South San Francisco Page 13 of 14
Table 8. General Fund Reserves
The General Reserve, which represents 20 percent of the City’s annual revenue budget,
excluding transfers in (General Fund), follows the best practices guidelines from the
Government Finance Officers’ Association (GFOA).
The Infrastructure Reserve is largely comprised of General Fund surpluses that were set aside
over previous years in anticipation of the City’s future infrastructure projects. The value shown
is the unencumbered monies available that have not yet been designated toward a project. It
should be noted that within the proposed FY 2025-26 Capital Improvement Program, a net $1.9
million of direct capital project funding is requested from the Infrastructure Reserves, which is
reflected in the ending balance above.
The CalPERS Stabilization Reserve was established through two separate Council actions in
FY 2015-16 and FY 2017-18, totaling $5.5 million. In December 2022, Finance capitalized on
the higher interest environment by establishing a separate investment account with the City’s
investment manager, Chandler, to achieve a higher rate of return. As of April 30, 2025, the
account balance has grown to $6.2 million.
The Available General Fund Balance is the portion of the General Fund (as shown in the table
in the summary section of this report) that has not been designated for any particular purpose.
This balance will fluctuate depending on the extent to which expenditures exceed revenues
(deficit) in FY 2025-26. It is important to note that the available fund balance also serves as a
buffer, allowing for the natural ebb and flow within the General Fund that occurs during the
year as a result of the mismatch between when revenues are received and when expenditures
are incurred.
Although placed in different categories, the City Council, by majority vote, is allowed to use
the above reserve funds as necessary.
6. GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMITS
As required by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, the City of South San Francisco
must annually adopt a Gann Appropriations Limit, which sets a cap on the amount of tax
proceeds the City can appropriate each fiscal year. As detailed in Attachment 2 to the
Resolution, for FY 2025-26, the City has calculated its Gann Appropriation Limit to be
$194,547,265. The City’s proposed appropriations funded by tax proceeds for FY 2025-26 are
well within the calculated limit.
Estimated Ending Financial Reserve
for FY 2025-26 (in million)
General Reserve $27.8
Infrastructure Reserve 6.9
CalPERS Stabilization Reserve 6.2
Available GF Balance 17.0
Total $57.9

FISCAL IMPACT
For Fiscal Year 2025-26, the City’s General Fund is projected to have operating revenues of
$140.5 million and use of General Fund Reserve of $12.0 million for a total of available
revenues and resources of $152.5 million. Expenditures net of any carryover purchase orders
are projected to be $152.5 million, resulting in a balanced budget.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The budget is the City’s spending plan that supports Priority Area 3, Financial Stability.
CONCLUSION
The General Fund continues to experience a structural deficit, as revenue growth remains
insufficient to keep pace with rising expenditures. Key cost drivers—including personnel
expenses, healthcare costs, and inflation—are escalating at a faster rate than incoming
revenues. Property tax revenue continues to increase but are anticipated to do so at a slower
pace than in previous years. In light of increasing fiscal pressure from the State’s own budget
deficit, staff has adopted a more prudent approach by assuming that the State will not backfill
the FY 2023-24 Property Tax in-lieu of Vehicle License Fees (VLF) shortfall. Should this
funding materialize, it could reduce the FY 2025-26 budget deficit by approximately $5
million. Staff will continue to monitor this and provide updates as new information becomes
available.
Revenue sources such as sales taxes and TOT are subject to ongoing uncertainty due to tariffs
and inflation. Additionally, permit fee revenues from developers have slowed, influenced by
high interest rates and trade-related pressures. To help balance the long-term structural deficit,
the City is evaluating potential revenue enhancement strategies. The proposed budget is
structured to maintain current service levels, and no significant cuts are proposed at this time.
A key driver of rising expenditures in the FY 2025–26 Proposed Budget is the continued
growth in personnel related costs. Since labor negotiations have not yet been finalized, the
proposed budget assumes a 3% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA); any changes to this
assumption will impact the projected deficit. On the other hand, since the City has
experienced higher-than usual staff turnover, staff has included a 7% vacancy assumption,
which is approximately $8 million in personnel costs to account for in anticipated salary
savings. This budget is prepared with a strategic effort to align the City’s service levels with
available resources, ensuring fiscal sustainability while minimizing the accumulation of
ongoing obligations in a challenging revenue environment.
Staff recommends that the Council adopt the operating budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Additionally, staff recommends approving the Gann Appropriations Limit to ensure compliance
with constitutional requirements.

APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
City of South San Francisco FY 2025-26 Proposed Operating Budget
APPROPRIATIONS LIMITS
In 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4, known as the Gann Appropriations Limit (Gann
Limit). The Gann Limit is part of California State Constitution Article XIIIB. The Gann Limit sets an
annual appropriation ceiling on the amount of tax proceeds to all California municipalities. In
addition to limits of tax proceeds, the Gann Limit restricts the amount of money a city can
appropriate based on the previous year appropriations plus a per capita personal income (CPI)
change and a percent population change. Since its initial passage, the Gann Limit has been
modified through various propositions. The voters approved the most recent modification in
1990 under Proposition 111. Proposition 111 exempted some appropriations such as
Redevelopment money and changed the calculation formula, which greatly increased the
appropriations limit. Currently, the City of South San Francisco uses the California Department
of Finance percentage change of Per Capita Cost of Living and percent population change to
formulate the Gann Limit for the City for each fiscal year.

Report regarding a resolution approving the proposed Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 2025-26.
(Eunejune Kim, Director of Public Works/City Engineer and Matthew Ruble, Principal Engineer)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco adopt a resolution approving
the Capital Improvement Program (CIP)for Fiscal Year 2025-26,including appropriations request of
$24.03 million;authorizing City staff to prepare plans and specifications and to advertise for
construction bids for the projects under this program;incorporating the deferral and/or formal closure
of select prior-year projects resulting in the reimbursement of $12.68 million in prior-year funding;and
approve Budget Amendment Number 25.060 to the FY 2024-25 budget to reflect the reallocation.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The proposed Capital Improvement Program (CIP)for fiscal year (FY)2025-26 was first reviewed by the
Budget Standing Committee of the City Council,consisting of Mayor Flores and Vice-Mayor Addiego,on May
20,2025,followed by a City Council study session on June 11,2025.The proposed FY 2025-26 CIP
incorporates the guidance and feedback provided by the City Council during these reviews.In accordance with
Government Code Section 65401,the Planning Commission also reviewed the CIP on June 5,2025,and
adopted a resolution finding the CIP consistent with the General Plan.
The CIP outlines major capital expenditures and infrastructure improvement projects throughout the City,
continuing investments in city streets,storm drains,sanitary sewers,facilities,parks,and traffic systems.Each
year,City departments identify critical needs and prioritize project implementation when preparing the CIP to
ensure resources are aligned with the City’s long-term goals.
City staff considers the following criteria when selecting projects for inclusion in the CIP:
•Grant-funded projects requiring a City contribution.
•Previously approved projects under construction or contract.
•Projects required for regulatory compliance.
•Projects to maintain or upgrade existing City infrastructure.
•Projects with no General Fund allocations.
•Projects requested by the community or City departments.
•Projects that can be reasonably delayed, are complete, or are no longer necessary.
Based on these guidelines,staff proposes the following fiscal year (FY)2025-26 CIP budget appropriations.
The proposed FY 2025-26 CIP budget is $232.82 million,with $24.03 million of new appropriations and
approximately $208.79 million of previous year appropriations for continuing projects.Additionally,the City

Report regarding a resolution waiving all fees associated with City permits for the Oyster Point Marina -West
Basin Access Improvements (Permit Numbers B25-1175 and E25-0541)project to be funded and performed by
the San Mateo County Harbor District.(Sharon Ranals, City Manager)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution waiving all fees associated with City permits
for the Oyster Point Marina -West Basin Access Improvements (Permit Numbers B25-1175 and E25-
0541) project to be funded and performed by the San Mateo County Harbor District.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Since 1977 the San Mateo County Harbor District has operated and improved the Oyster Point Marina under a
no-cost agreement between the Harbor District and the City of South San Francisco.The responsibilities of the
Harbor District include operations,maintenance,management,and enforcement of applicable rules and
regulations of the marina which include floating docks,public fishing pier,and the landside area of the marina
property.The 2018 Agreement,which is the current agreement,is due to expire in 2033,with two automatic 10-
year extensions.
For several years,the City and Harbor District were aware of the need to raise the fixed dock entry points that
act as the land-side connection points of the floating docks.The dock entrances are inundated with seawater
during plus tide (King Tides)events,forcing boaters and other dock users to wade through 4-6”of water to
navigate between the floating docks and the shoreside landing.Staff expect climate change-related sea level
rise, larger winter storms, and continued landfill subsidence to further exacerbate the problem.
Per the agreement,the Harbor District is responsible for the dock systems at Oyster Point Marina,including the
connection of the docks to the landside connection points.
The agreement also provides that the City is solely responsible for monitoring and protecting against landside
inundation caused by sea level rise and/or landfill subsidence.Further,the City is solely responsible,including
taking corrective actions, for damage caused by landfill subsidence.
In light of the shared responsibility for raising the fixed dock entry points,in 2019 the City proposed partnering
with the Harbor District to raise the dock entrances during the build out of the Kilroy Oyster Point 1C when the
rest of the adjacent park and Bay Trail were improved.
The Harbor District began construction on this critical improvement in May 2025 and construction is expected
to continue through October 2025.The City Manager requests that Council consider waiving the ordinance-
mandated permit and inspection fees because the improvements are being made to a City-owned asset and the
Harbor District is a valued partner in the management of that asset, Oyster Point Marina.
As with all proposed construction projects,the permit fees are calculated based on the value of the construction.
With a total construction value based on an awarded bid of $3,395,611 (27%of the Harbor District’s Annual
Budget),the Building Division calculated a total of $90,606.91 for plan review,inspections,and associated

fees. The break down as follows:
Building Permit B25-1175 - All Plan Reviews, Inspections, and Fees $80,644.87
Encroachment Permit E25-0541 $9,962.04
$90,606.91
As is customary for plan review,a portion of these fees will cover the cost of consulting engineers to perform
plan check review and construction inspections.The Building Division estimates $1,410 in direct costs for
consultant fees for drawing review,while Engineering anticipates all their $14,962.04 in fees will go to paying
consulting engineers for both drawing review and site inspections.Fire also expects to pay $4,363.74 for
drawing review,for a total of approximately $20,735.78 in direct costs.As is standard practice,Building and
Fire staff will perform all required inspections for work in their purview while Engineering will utilize
consultants for inspections.
In the spirit of partnership,the City’s and Harbor District’s shared obligations with regard to the fixed dock
entry points,and the benefit received by the City that would result from this project,the City Manager proposes
waiving all associated permit fees for the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
While most of the $90,606.91 waiver would impact the City as a loss of revenue,approximately $20,735.78
would be spent directly on expenses related to the project.Staff recommend the Infrastructure Reserve Fund as
a source for these expenditures.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Approval of this action will contribute to the City’s Strategic Plan.It aligns with Priority #2,which is focused
on enhancing quality of life by building and maintaining a sustainable city,making our city a great place to
live, learn and play.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to waive all fees for permits related to the Oyster
Point Marina -West Basin Access Improvements (Permit Numbers B25-1175 and E25-0541)project to be
funded and performed by the San Mateo County Harbor District.
