commented as follows:
Concern was raised with counting garages as part of the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) because it lessens the
amount of livable area. Staff clarified that the provision is in the General Plan and is being enforced
because it contributes to the mass of homes. The Commission directed that consideration be given to
establish a minimum size home that could be accommodated to account for substandard size lots.
Commissioner Prouty was also concerned with restricting small homes from adding square footage.
Desian Review Reauirements
Commissioners Zemke and Prouty suggested that the trim should apply to the entire home and not only
the front. Ms. Kahn noted that staff had also suggested to do so.
Commissioner Ochsenhirt questioned if requirement 4b still allows the garage to be in front. Ms. Kahn
stated that the garage should not extend beyond the front of the building.

Commissioner Ochsenhirt noted that there was concern about how the City determined the front of a
property on a corner lot. Ms. Kahn noted that there will be a section with rules on how to determine the
front of the property, signs, FAR and other items.

degree angle. Ms. Kahn noted that the language does not allow any portion of the structure to extend
over the daylight plane.
Fences and walls. General site reaulations
Commissioner Ochsenhirt questioned if the deleted language in A.1 would allow a 6 foot fence to go out to
the front property line rather than have it be a lower height. Ms. Kahn noted that if iUs transparent and
non-opaque it is allowed, as long as it meets with the requirements.
Landscapina
Commissioner Ochsenhirt noted that there is a tree preservation ordinance and questioned if it was taken
into consideration in the landscaping section. Ms. Kahn noted that they will reference the tree preservation
ordinance in the landscaping section.

update study session.

Planning Commission
Staff Report
DATE:
March 5, 2009
TO:
Planning Commission
SUBJECT:
Type C Sign Permit for new facade signs with a total sign area exceeding 100
square feet for All Souls School at 479 Miller Avenue in the Downtown
Commercial Zone (D-C-L) District in accordance with SSFMC Chapters 20.26 &

Owner:
Applicant:
Case Nos.
Archdiocese of SF Parish
All Souls Church
P09-00 11 (DR09-00 10, Signs 09-0005)
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission approve a Type C Sign Permit allowing new fa~ade signs with
a total sign area exceeding 100 square feet, subject to making the findings and adopting the
conditions of approval.
BACKGROUNDfDISCUSSION:
The project is located at the All Souls School at 479 Miller Ave. The building has two existing
building signs, consisting of individual lettering located above the entrance canopies on Miller
A venue. These signs have an estimated combined area ofless than 25 square feet, and are proposed
to be removed.
The applicant is proposing 4 new fascia signs on the existing All Souls School building, one on each
fac;ade. Each of the signs would consist of individual block letters, painted blue to contrast with the
building. The signs would not be illuminated.
The smallest of the signs would be located near the main entrance on Miller Ave, at the intersection
of Spruce Ave, and would have a total area of 32 sq ft. The remaining 3 signs would each have a
total area of 52 sq ft, and would be located in corner locations on the east, west and south walls.
The proposed signs would have a combined sign area of 188 square feet. The project requires a Type
C Sign Permit, because the total sign area exceeds 100 square feet (SSFMC Section 20.76.130).
The proposed signs are compatible with the City Design Guidelines and the City Sign Regulations
(SSFMC Chapter 20.76), and the sign design, finish and color are compatible with the building's
archi tecture.

generally in favor of the proposed signage, with the following comments:

under the provisions of CEQA (Class 11, Section lS311(a): Accessory Structures). Class 11
consists of construction, or replacement of minor structures accessory to existing commercial,
industrial or institutional facilities, including on-premise signs.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDA TION:
The proposed signage complies with City development standards and the SSFMC Title 20 Zoning
Regulations. Therefore, it is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the Type C Sign
Permit allowing new facade signs with a total sign area exceeding 100 square feet.

Permit UP08-0013, Parking Variance V AR08-0002 and Design Review DR08-0043, based on the
attached findings and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION
Southwood Center, located along El Camino Real between W. Orange Ave and Ponderosa Rd, is
comprised of a 33,833 sg ft multi-tenant commercial building. The center was constructed in the 1960s
with parking as shown on the attached site plan. The existing parking lot does not comply with City
regulations in terms of design nor does it provide the currently required number of parking spaces for the
combined square footage of the tenant spaces, resulting in a situation where the property is considered
legally nonconforming. Based on the City's Nonconforming Use regulations, the existing situation can
remain as is so long as individual tenant spaces do not remain vacant for more than 12 months. However,
if a tenant space were to remain vacant in excess of that time the nonconforming status is lost and the use
would be required to comply with current zoning standards, including parking. In addition, the Zoning
Ordinance requires a Use Permit for any change in use type within a building located within 200 feet of a
residential zone. At present the center has a tenant space that has been vacant for longer than 12 months
(129 Southwood).
In order to address this issue, as well as to provide some additional flexibility in future uses in the
shopping center, staff has recommended the applicant pursue a Master Use Permit, in conjunction with a
Parking Variance, to establish a mixture of commercial use types that can be approved, making it easier

for both the city and the property owner to attract new tenants. In conjunction with the Master Use Permit,
the applicant is proposing related improvements to the property, including:
. Covenant for Parking Purposes. The covenant will obligate two adjacent surface parking lots to
be used only by the shopping center.
. Parking Lot Redesign. The redesign of the three existing parking lots will result in an increase
number of parking spaces, from 84 to 96. As part of this permit the 2 ancillary lots will be
upgraded with new paving, drainage, striping and landscaping.
. Landscaping Improvements. New landscaping throughout the on-site parking area and in the two
adjacent surface parking lots, as well as new street trees along Southwood Ave and potentially on
El Camino Real. The improvements would increase the total area of landscaping from 2,167 sq ft
to over 7,000 sq ft. Combined with the existing landscaping on the Mr. Pizzaman portion of the
Southwood Center (which is the same parcel but is not part of this application), the total
landscaping would exceed 10 percent for the entire property.
. Master Sign Program. A comprehensive sign program for the entire shopping center, with
compatible wall tenant signs, under canopy signs, and window signs.
When viewed as a whole, the proposed improvements constitute a substantial investment by the property
owner, and staff believes that the shopping center will appear as a more cohesive development in the
future.
PARKING
Southwood Center has a total area of 33,833 sq ft, and was constructed with a total of 40 on-site parking
spaces, located in the parking lot adjacent to the 7-Eleven. Under current zoning ordinance requirements,
a multi-tenant shopping center of this size would be required to provide 135 parking spaces. Therefore,
the shopping center has a parking deficit of 95 spaces.
As part of this Master Use Permit application, the applicant is proposing to redesign the existing parking
lot, which will expand the on-site parking to a total of 47 spaces. In addition, the applicant also owns two
surface parking lots, referred to as "Parking Lot 2" and "Parking Lot 3" on the submitted plans, which are
located directly to the west of the site across the street. These parking lots are currently used exclusively
for parking by the shopping center, but they are not legally bound to the shopping center. Obligating these
parking lots to the shopping center would provide an additional 49 parking spaces, resulting in a total of 96
off-street parking spaces.
Conditional Use Permit to Allow Off-Site Parking
Zoning Ordinance section 20.74.120(b) allows for an adjacent contiguous or other proximate property
(within 500 feet) to be used for parking, subject to approval of a conditional use permit and the recording
of appropriate legal agreements.
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Southwood Center Master Use Permit
DATE: March 5, 2009
Page 3
20.74.120(b) "an adjacent contiguous or other proximate property (i.e. within five hundred feet) may
be used by the permitee for the parking spaces subject to approval of a conditional use permit if either
of the following occurs:
(1) The owner of record of the adjacent, contiguous or other proximate property submits a title
report for the parcel and a covenant running with the land, or an easement, which (1) describes the
parcel and obligates it for parking purposes free and clear of exceptions which would interfere with
the use, (2) describes the obligation of the party to maintain the parking facility, and (3) describes
the parking facility by a parking diagram approved by the planning commission. The covenant
running with the land, or easement, shall be subject to the approval of the city attorney and shall be
recorded in the county recorder's office;"
The applicant is proposing to obligate the adjacent parking by recording a covenant running with the land.
The applicant has been working with the City Attorney to draft an acceptable document, and staff has
included a condition of approval stating that the covenant is subject to the approval of the city attorney and
shall be recorded in the county recorder's office prior to the issuance of any building permits for the
property.
Parking Variance
The inclusion of the two adjacent surface parking lots will result in a total of 96 off-street parking spaces
for the shopping center. As stated above, a multi-tenant shopping center of this size would be required to
provide 135 parking spaces. Therefore, the application requires consideration of a variance to the parking
requirements to allow a 39 space reduction.
SSFMC Section 20.82.080 provides that a variance may be granted from the parking requirements when
such variance will a) be an incentive to-, and benefit for the non-residential development; and b) that such
variance will facilitate access to the non-residential development by patrons of public transit facilities.
The proposed project is non-residential in nature, and the proposed variance, as part of the Master Use
Permit, will improve the existing shopping center's ability to continuously accommodate a broad range of
commercial and retail uses.
The shopping center is located on El Camino Real, a major arterial that provides the largest concentration
of bus transit within the city. The shopping center is served by SamTrans; with one bus stop within 200
feet of the property. The approval of the variance will not impact access to the development by patrons of
public transit facilities.
It should also be noted that the shopping center has frontage on both El Camino Real and Southwood
Center, and the two street frontages combined have approximately 35 parallel parking spaces, which is a
significant amount of street parking for a shopping center of this size. In light of the above facts, and in
consideration that the shopping center has been in use for over 40 years without severe parking problems,
staff believes that the required preconditions for a variance to the parking standards are fulfilled by the
applicant's proposal.
STAFF REPORT

DATE: March 5, 2009

ACCEPT ABLE USE MIX
The C-l zoning district lists a wide variety of "Permitted Uses" that are allowed by right if the remainder
of the development standards are met. However, due to the substandard parking existing at the shopping
center, any use that is not a continuance of the previous use requires a parking variance. This results in a
long approval process and makes it difficult for the property owner to attract new tenants.
As stated above, despite the lower number of available parking spaces, staff has not encountered any
parking demand problems at the shopping center. As part of the master use permit, staff is proposing to
identify a broad mixture of commercial uses that can be allowed within the shopping center. Staff is
recommending that all uses listed as "Permitted Uses" be allowed without restriction on total area, with the
following exceptions:
· A maximum of 25 percent of the existing square footage can consist of Eating and Drinking
Establishments (Convenience and Full Service).
· A maximum of 10 percent of the existing square footage (no more than 1 tenant space) can consist
of a Community Education or Day Care Services use.
· A maximum of 10 percent of the existing square footage (no more than 1 tenant space) can consist
of a Community Assembly use.
· The total square footage of the above uses cannot exceed more than 30 percent of the overall
square footage of the Southwood Center.
Any uses listed as "Uses Permitted Subject to a Use Permit" would continue to require use permit approval
through the Planning Commission, but it is recommended that SSFMC Section 20.22.030 not be enforced
for the shopping center.
Review of Master Use Permit
The city is currently in the process of a comprehensive update of its Zoning Ordinance. As part of this
update, revisions are being proposed to the parking requirements for all use classifications, as well as to
the classification of uses that are permitted by right and permitted subject to use permit approval. Because
the extent of the proposed revisions to the Zoning Ordinance are unknown at this time, staff recommends
that the Planning Commission adopt a condition of approval to require a one year review of the master use
permit. This review will allow modifications to the "Acceptable Use Mix".
SIGN PROGRAM
The proposed sign program addresses a variety of sign types within the site, including
. Tenant Wall Panels
. Under Canopy Secondary Signs
. Window Vinyl Standards
The proposed signage will constitute an improvement over the existing signage by creating an overall sign
language that is complimentary in terms of materials, colors, illumination and lettering types.
The Design Review Board found the proposed sign program to be well designed and recommended
approval, subject to all of the signs having the same appearance and coloring.

DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
The Design Review Board, at its meeting of November 18, 2008, reviewed the project and was generally
pleased with the building modifications, landscape improvements and sign program, and offered the
following comments:
1. Add street trees (potentially 4 along front of building, more in parking lots) along the street
frontage.
2. Revise landscaping plans using a landscape architect familiar with the South San Francisco
climate. The shrubs and ground cover as proposed on the plans will not survive SSF elements.
3. As part of Master Sign Plan, all signs should have the same appearance and coloring.
The minutes of the Design Review Board are attached to this staff report. The applicant has incorporated
the comments into the attached plans.
GRAND BOULEVARD INITIATIVE CONSISTENCY
The approval of a Parking Variance and Master Use Permit would fulfill the following Guiding Principles
of the Grand Boulevard Initiative.
. Guiding Principle #5 - "Manage parking assets." Reducing the amount of required parking is
listed as a potential strategy to meet this guiding principle, and therefore the Parking Variance
would be in keeping with the Grand Boulevard Initiative.
. Guiding Principle #7 - "Preserve and accentuate unique and desirable community character and
the existing quality of life in adjacent neighborhoods." One of the strategies listed for this guiding
principle is to preserve diverse local small businesses and create economic opportunities for their
continued presence in the revitalized corridor.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY AND ZONING COMPLIANCE
The project site is designated "Community Commercial" by the General Plan, which includes major
commercial districts, such as El Camino Real, where this project is located. The uses allowed include
retail and department stores, eating and drinking establishments, commercial recreation, service stations,
financial, business and personal services, motels, and educational and social services. As the existing
shopping center is a commercial use consistent with the Community Commercial designation, the proposal
is consistent with the applicable policies of the General Plan.
The property is located in the Retail Commercial (C-l) Zoning District and is designated Community
Commercial in the Land Use Element of the General Plan. Both the zoning district and general plan
designation allow a broad range of commercial uses, including retail and department stores, eating and
drinking establishments, commercial recreation, service stations, financial, business and personal services,
motels, and educational and social services.

P08-0092/UP08-00 13
(As recommended by City Staff on March 5, 2009)
As required by the Use Permit Procedures (SSFMC Section 20.81.050), the following findings are made
in support of Application P08-0092/UP08-0013 allowing a Master Use Permit for an existing multi-tenant
shopping center in the Retail Commercial (C-I) Zoning District in accordance with SSFMC 20.81, based
on public testimony and materials submitted to the South San Francisco Planning Commission which
include, but are not limited to: Plans prepared by applicant, dated February 13,2009; Design Review
Board comments, dated November 18,2008; Planning Commission staff report dated March 5, 2009; and
Planning Commission meeting of March 5, 2009:
1. The proposed improvements, including the sign program, landscaping and parking
variance, will not be adverse to the public health, safety or general welfare of the
community, or detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements. The building and
site improvements design meet the City Design Guidelines and have been recommended for
approval by the Design Review Board.
2. The existing Southwood Center shopping center complies with the General Plan Land Use
Element designation of the site, Community Commercial, which allows a range of
commercial uses.
3. The site, located in the Retail Commercial District, is adjacent to other similar retail
commercial uses and will comply with all applicable standards and requirements of SSFMC
Title 20.
DRAFT FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
133 SOUTHWOOD CTR
P08-0092N AR08-0002
(As recommended by City Staff on March 5, 2009)
As required by the Variance Procedures (SSFMC Section 20.82.080), the following findings are made in
support of Application P08-0092N AR08-0002 allowing 96 parking spaces instead of the minimum
requirement of 135 parking spaces, based on public testimony and materials submitted to the South San
Francisco Planning Commission which include, but are not limited to: Plans prepared by applicant, dated
February 13, 2009; Design Review Board comments, dated November 18, 2008; Planning Commission
staff report dated March 5, 2009; and Planning Commission meeting of March 5, 2009:
1. Granting of the Variance allowing 96 parking spaces instead of the minimum requirement
of 135 parking spaces is necessary to allow the continued use of the property for retail
purposes. Strict application of the parking regulations would deprive the owner of the
ability to use the property for the commercial use for which it was constructed. Conditions
of approval are included to require a covenant running with the land to obligate the two
adjacent parking lots to the shopping center.
2. Granting of the Variance allowing 96 parking spaces instead of the minimum requirement
of 135 parking spaces will not constitute a special privilege granted to the recipient
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the vicinity and Zoning District in
that the existing development complied with the City parking requirements at the time the
shopping center was originally constructed and there is not practicable option to increase
parking.
3. Granting of the Variance allowing 96 parking spaces instead of the minimum requirement
of 135 parking spaces ~ill be an incentive to, and a benefit for, the retail use in that it will
allow the continued retail and commercial use for which the building was originally
constructed.
4. Granting of the Variance allowing 96 parking spaces instead of the minimum requirement
of 135 parking spaces, will not impact access to the non-residential development by patrons
of public transit facilities.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve 1) Resolution to allow an Interim
Interpretation of Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses for the Oyster Point Business Park
Properties, 2) Planned Unit Development to tie Oyster Point Business Park parcels together, 3)
Variance allowing 5 percent reduction in the number of required parking spaces, and 4)
Transportation Demand Management Plan in association with a Variance reducing parking
requirements, subject to the conditions of approval and making the required Findings.
BACKGROUNDffiISCUSSION
The 33.1 acre Oyster Point Business Park (OPBP) was constructed in the 1980s as a multi-building
warehouse complex containing a total of 403,917 sq ft of floor area and a 227 berth marina. In the two
decades after construction, a significant percentage of the area has been converted to higher intensity uses,
including research and development, office and retail, resulting in a code deficiency with respect to
parking supply.
In 1999 the General Plan was updated, and the land use designation for this area was changed from
Planned Industrial to Business Commercial and Coastal Commercial. The Business Commercial
designation permits administrative, financial, business, professional, medical and public offices, and
visitor-oriented and regional commercial activities. Coastal Commercial permits business/professional

services, office, convenience sales, restaurants, public marketplace, personal/repair services, limited retail,
hotel/motel with a coastal orientation, recreational facilities and marinas.
In mid-2008 the business park was purchased by the present owners, Oyster Point LLC, with the intent to
demolish and redevelop the property as a life sciences campus. The owner has been in negotiations with
the City over various aspects of the upcoming project but acknowledges a need to continue to operate the
business park in the short term (approximately 5 years).
The City is currently in the process of updating its Zoning Ordinance to be in compliance with the General
Plan. This is important because some of the uses that are currently allowed under the Planned Industrial
zoning district in the Zoning Ordinance are not allowed under the Business Commercial land use
designation in the General Plan.
The property owner would like to clearly establish the uses that can be allowed in the Planned Industrial
zoned portion of the OPBP in the interim time-period before the adoption of the updated zoning ordinance.
To establish the allowed uses, staff is proposing the following:
1. Interim Interpretation of Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses for the Oyster Point
, Business Park Properties. This document sets forth a recommendation on the use classifications
that staff could support as permitted in the P-I zoning district of the OPBP property, together with a
recommendation on the allowable timeframe for these uses.
2. Planned Unit Development. The PUD would tie the separate parcels of the business park
together, allowing for shared parking between the separate parcels.
3. Variance to Parking Requirements. In conjunction with the PUD, the applicants have drafted a
Preliminary Transportation Demand Management Plan to reduce parking and vehicle trips in
association with a Variance to reduce the overall parking requirement.
INTERIM INTERPRET A TION
Following is the opening paragraph of the document, which details the purpose and timelines of the
proposed interpretation:
"The City is currently in the process of developing and adopting a comprehensive update to its
Zoning Ordinance, consistent with the City's existing General Plan. Concurrently, Oyster Point
Ventures, LLC, is proposing to redevelop the Oyster Point Business Park Properties ("OPBP
Properties", as described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by reference).To allow the
continued efficient and effective use of existing buildings on the OPBP Properties site, the Chief
Planner and the Planning Commission, pursuant to their authority under section 20.04.060 of the
South San Francisco Municipal Code, adopt this Interim Interpretation. This Interim Interpretation
is intended to define the types of uses that may be approved for the portions of the OPBP
Properties that are currently zoned Planned Industrial (P-I). The Effective Period for this Interim
Interpretation shall begin on the date that the South San Francisco Planning Commission formally
adopts a resolution approving this Interim Interpretation, and shall terminate on the date that the
Zoning Ordinance Update becomes effective. Once the Zoning Code Update becomes effective,
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Oyster Point Business Park - Interim Use Interpretation
DATE: March 5, 2009
Page 3
this Interim Interpretation shall no longer have any force or effect. Complete applications
submitted prior to the termination of the Effective Period may be approved for a period of up to six
(6) months following the date that the Zoning Code Update becomes effective. Uses approved
pursuant to this Interim Interpretation may only remain in use for a period not to exceed five (5)
years from the date that the use commences. If any disagreement should arise regarding the
meaning or effect of this Interim Interpretation, it shall be resolved by the Chief Planner or
designee as quickly as is practicable. Uses approved pursuant to this Interim Interpretation shall be
subject to all federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including without limitation, the
requirement to obtain a use permit for special operations and structures, and for any use that
generates 100 or more vehicle trips per day, as described in sections 20.32.060 and 20.32.070 of
the Municipal Code. Uses listed in this Interim Interpretation shall have the meanings described in
Chapter 20.06 of the Municipal Code."
The document also lists the allowed use classifications, split into two categories; "Permitted" and
"Permitted with CUP". The types of Industrial Uses that would be allowed under the Interim
Interpretation are significantly reduced in comparison with the Planned Industrial zoning district. This is
due to the property's General Plan land use designation, Business Commercial, which does not include
industrial uses as allowed. The Interim Interpretation would allow the following industrial use types
during the interim period.
. Custom Manufacturing - Refers to establishments primarily engaged in on-site production of
goods by hand manufacturing which involves only the use of hand tools or domestic mechanical
equipment not exceeding two horsepower or a single kiln not exceeding eight kilowatts, and the
incidental direct sale to consumers of only those goods produced on site.
. Food Preparation (may include catering services) - Refers to establishments primarily engaged in
the preparation of food products only for off-site sales.
The remainder of the allowed use classifications in the Interim Interpretation are generally in keeping with
the current Civic and Commercial use types allowed under the Planned Industrial zoning district. The
following use types would be broadened under the Interim Interpretation.
. Administrative and Business Offices - May include administrative offices for import/export
businesses, provided that anyon-site storage is limited to an Accessory Use.
. Repair Services, Consumer - May include repair of computers and consumer electronic devices.
Staff can support these minor expansions of existing uses as generally consistent with the intent of the
Business Commercial designation and supportive of the surrounding conforming industries.
P ARKING VARIANCE
After reviewing the City's plans on file for the OPBP, staff estimates that as of the early 1990s there were
approximately 800 approved parking spaces. Staff performed a field verification prior to the Planning
Commission meeting and identified approximately 867 striped parking spaces. It appears that the previous
owner restriped much of the parking in the late 1990s without City approval, creating many spaces that
would not meet the City's minimum design and circulation standards (e.g. minimum stall-width
requirements, spaces located in front of roll-up doors, etc.).
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Oyster Point Business Park - Interim Use Interpretation
DATE: March 5, 2009
Page 4
To determine current parking occupancy rates, city staff completed informal parking counts at the site on
two separate occasions. The highest number of vehicles counted on site was 246. Using the 867 striped
spaces as a baseline, this equates to approximately 30 percent occupancy. Even given the fact that
approximately 30 percent of the business park is presently vacant there still appears to be a large surplus of
parking available.
Current Parking Requirements
The business park is required to provide parking for the marina in addition to its tenant spaces. In 1982,
the previous property owner and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) entered
into an agreement [BCDC Permit #4-82(B)] pursuant to the original construction of the business park.
Subsequently this permit has been amended, with the most recent amendment occurring in August of
2003. According to the most recent permit, the business park is required to provide 70 parking spaces
exclusively for marina users and the public (55 for marina use only, 15 for public use only). An additional
96 parking spaces are required to be signed for use by both marina users and by business park tenants.
The current parking requirement for the existing business park tenants, including vacant tenant spaces, has
been calculated by staff to be 746 spaces. To determine the parking requirement for the vacant tenant
spaces, staff used the parking requirement for speculation space, which assumes 40 percent office space
and 60 percent warehouse space.
Using the 800 approved parking spaces as a baseline, following is the breakdown of parking spaces
available. This breakdown assumes that the City is amenable to the BCDC requirement for 96 shared
spaces, which business park tenants would be allowed to use, and therefore these spaces would be included
in the tenant space total:
Total Parking Available
Minus BCDC Requirement
Available to Business Park Tenants
800 spaces
-70 spaces
730 spaces
Parking Requirement Adjustment based on TDM Plan
The total parking available to business park tenants in this scenario, 730 spaces, would be less than the
minimum parking requirement per the Zoning Ordinance requirements, 746 spaces. However, as part of
the request for a Parking Variance the applicant is required to implement a Transportation Demand
Management Plan. TDM Plans that have been approved and implemented within other areas of the City
have shown, on average, a 9.5 percent trip reduction for each respective site. In this case, subject to the
approval and implementation of a Final TDM Plan, staff is recommending that the parking requirement be
reduced by 5 percent for each tenant space. Based on a 5 percent reduction, the overall parking
requirement for the existing business park tenants would be reduced from 746 spaces to 709 spaces, within
the available amount of conforming parking. It should be noted that if the applicant were to restripe the
existing parking to create additional conforming parking spaces, the number of parking spaces available
for use by the business park tenants would increase. If the applicant would like to expand the approved
number of parking spaces, they shall submit a scaled and dimensioned improvement plan for review and
approval.

TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT (TDM) PLAN
In accordance with the requirements of the TDM Ordinance, the applicant has prepared the attached
preliminary TDM Plan designed to achieve a 28% alternative mode use, consistent with a project with
more than 100 daily average trips. As conditioned, the preliminary TDM plan provides for the requisite
mode shift goal, and includes all mandatory elements including participation in shuttle programs, carpool
and vanpool ridematching and preferential parking, guaranteed ride home program, secure bicycle parking,
shower and locker facilities, onsite program coordinator, promotional programs, participation in the
Peninsula Congestion Relief Alliance (Alliance), etc., as well as several additional measures including
alternative commute subsidies, bicycle connections, flextime, telecommuting and reduced parking.
The preliminary TDM does not give specific numeric and location requirements for all of the elements,
including but not limited to:
. Shower and locker facilities
. Bicycle Parking, Long- and Short-Term
. Carpool and Vanpool Parking
. Passenger Loading Zones
Staff has discussed these items with the applicant, and more specific requirements will be included in the
Final TDM Plan, which shall be submitted to the Chief Planner for review and approval within 30 days of
final approval of this application. The Final TDM Plan will consist of the final construction plans and
possible additional TDM Plan measures to ensure the development meets the intended TDM reductions.
The plan is also subject to a formal Annual Review by City staff [SSFMC 20.120.1 00]. The Annual
Review, consisting of a participant survey, is intended to monitor the success of the TDM Plan and make
any adjustments (i.e. add/subtract program elements) to achieve the intended TDM Plan objectives.
The Preliminary TDM Plan meets all applicable requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance. Therefore,
it is recommended that the Planning Commission approve the Preliminary TDM Plan, based on the
attached findings.
ENVIRONMENT AL REVIEW
The proposed project has been determined to be categorically exempt from environmental review under
the provisions of CEQA (Class 1, Section 15301: Minor alteration to existing facilities).
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve 1) Resolution to allow an Interim Interpretation
of Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses for the Oyster Point Business Park Properties, 2) Planned
Unit Development to establish parking requirements, 3) Variance allowing 5 percent reduction in the
number of required parking spaces, and 4) Transportation Demand Management Plan in association with a
Variance reducing parking requirements, subject to the conditions of approval and making the required
Findings.

is revised each month.)
Trip Calculation
32,000 SF Office use @ 12.3 trips per 1000 SF = 394 vehicle trips
Less credit for existing trips:
32,000 warehouse @ 4.5 trips per 1000 SF= -144 vehicle trips
Total new trips = 250
Contribution Calculation
250 trips X $154 X (7180.55/6552.16) = $45,894.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
This presents the Oyster Point Business Park Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) Plan and discusses how the plan satisfies the City of South San Francisco's TDM
ordinance. A TDM Plan is a set of strategies, measures and incentives designed to
encourage employees to walk, bicycle, carpool, use public transportation, or use other
alternatives to driving alone in private automobiles. TDM measures increase mobility
while using existing transportation systems and boost the economic efficiency of the
current transportation infrastructure. These measures are also designed to improve air
quality, save energy and reduce traffic congestion.
The comprehensive programs described in this report include a wide variety of benefits,
services and programs designed to make it easier and more convenient for tenants and
employees of the Oyster Point Business Park to manage the quality-of-life issues juggled
between work and everyday life.
2.0 REGULA TORY SETTING
Chapter 20.120 of the Municipal Code outlines the TDM objectives for the City of South
San Francisco. The specific purposes of Chapter 20.120 are to:
. Implement a program designed to reduce the amount of traffic generated by new
non-residential development, and the expansion of existing non-residential
development, pursuant to the City's police power and necessary in order to
protect the public health, safety and welfare.
. Ensure that expected increases in traffic resulting from growth in employment
opportunities in the City of South San Francisco will be adequately mitigated.
. Reduce drive-alone commute trips during peak traffic periods by using a
combination of services, incentives, and facilities.
. Promote the more efficient utilization of existing transportation facilities and
ensure that new developments are designed to maximize the potential for
alternative transportation usage.
. Establish minimum TDM requirements for all new non-residential development.
. Establish an ongoing monitoring and enforcement program to ensure that
measures are implemented.
The TDM requirements apply to all non-residential developments located on lands within
the jurisdiction of the City of South San Francisco expected to generate 100 or more
average daily trips. The base required alternative mode-use for all projects is 28%.
Additionally, projects seeking a floor area ratio (FAR) bonus are subject to further
alternative mode-use requirements. The Oyster Point Business Park is classified as
"Business Commercial Use" under the City of South San Francisco's General Plan land
use classification. It currently has a basic FAR of 0.5 and no FAR bonus is sought at this
time.
3.0 TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT GOALS
The basic premise of TDM is the maximum utilization of existing transportation
resources. The City of South San Francisco, as is typical of other urban areas in the
United States, has hundreds of millions of dollars invested in roadway infrastructure and
public transit infrastructure. The goal of TDM is to more efficiently and economically
take advantage of these major capital investments.
The following are three basic goals that can be achieved through effective utilization of
TDM measures:
1) Convert trips to an alternative mode of transportation (e.g., transit, carpools or
vanpools, bicycling, walking)
2) Provide technological solutions (e.g., compressed natural gas, electric/hybrid
vehicles, or other zero-emission vehicles)
3) Eliminate trips (e.g., compressed work weeks, te1ecommute or te1ework)
Until recently within the United States, the answer to relieving congestion on roads and
in parking structures was to build more roads and parking structures. Current economics
and limited resources affect the ability to build and maintain more roads or parking
structures. This reality necessitates better utilization of the existing transportation
infrastructure (similar to adding a second shift at an existing plant). To this end, TDM
measures support the transition to a greater use of existing alternative transportation
options.
The measures and programs outlined in this plan are expected to support and meet the
28% trip reduction goal as identified by the City of South San Francisco's TDM
Ordinance.
4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Property consists of 34.34 acres (1,495,850 square feet) along Oyster Point
Boulevard in the northwestern portion of South San Francisco. The Property is made up
of two adjacent parcels: the area located at 375, 377, 379, 385, and 389 Oyster Point
Blvd. (APN 015-010-630; referred to herein as "Parcell") and 384 Oyster Point Blvd.
(APN 015-010-240; referred to herein as "Parcel 2"). Parcell and Parcel 2 are separated
by Oyster Point Boulevard, which terminates at the eastern edge of the Property.
Six buildings, encompassing a total of 404,215 square feet of floor area, currently
occupy the Property. Nearly two-thirds of the currently occupied space is devoted to
commercial and light industrial uses, and nearly one-quarter is devoted to R&D uses.
2
Small portions of the Property are used for administrative/office purposes and indoor
recreation. Approximately 30% of the leaseable space is currently vacant.
The Property also provides 883 parking spaces, and the Marina provides 235
berths. There is a walkway and strip of open space along the shoreline, between the
Marina and the buildings, which is connected to other portions of the region-wide Bay
Trail.
The Oyster Point Business Park TDM Plan is designed to increase significantly
opportunities for pedestrian, bicycle, carpool, transit and shuttle connectivity.
5.0 PARKING MANAGEMENT
5.1 Free Parking for Car and Vanpools and Clean-Fuel Vehicles
Parking will be free for all carpool, vanpool and clean-fuel vehicle participants.
5.2 Preferential Car and Vanpool Parking
Up to ten percent of parking spaces will be reserved for car and vanpool vehicles, based
on utilization. These spaces will be located in premium, convenient locations (i.e., close
to buildings, in the shade, within 100 feet of the building entrance, etc.). These
preferential parking spaces will be specially signed and/or striped.
5.3 Passenger Loading Zones
In order to facilitate the disembarking and embarking of rideshare passengers, passenger
loading/unloading areas will be provided where needed to meet the needs of rideshare
vehicles. Passenger loading zones for carpool and vanpool drop-off will be located in the
main entrances of various building sites.
5.4 Motorcycle Parking
Two motorcycle parking areas are already located at Oyster Point Business Park. These
will be maintained.
6.0 BAY AREA CARPOOL AND V ANPOOL RIDEMATCHING SERVICE
Carpools in the Bay Area consist of two or more people riding in one vehicle for
commute purposes (access to carpool lanes, free tolls, etc.). Oyster Point Business Park
only requires two people or more to qualify for commuter benefits (daily commuter
allowance/subsidy, preferential parking, etc.). Employees carpooling to BART may
apply for a "Carpool to BART" parking permit through www.rideshare.511.org website.
Vanpools provide similar commuting benefits to carpool. A. vanpool consists of seven to
fifteen passengers, including the driver. The vehicle is owned either by one of the
vanpoolers or leased from a rental company. The same site offers a list of available
3
vanpools providing service between South San Francisco and various points in the east
and south Bay Area.
In order to increase participation in the carpool and van pool programs, the Oyster Point
Business Park will require tenants to post information about this service on information
boards and will encourage tenants to provide links to these web sites through the tenant's
intranet.
The Regional Rideshare 511 Program's Ridematch Service provides free car and vanpool
matching services. This car and vanpool ridematching service provides individuals with
a computerized list of other commuters near their employment or residential ZIP code,
along with the closest cross-street, phone number, and hours of availability. Individuals
are then able to select and contact others with whom they wish to car or vanpool. They
will also be given a list of existing car and vanpools in their residential area that they may
be able to join.
The 511 system gives commuters information they need to make informed choices when
planning trips. By calling in or logging on, commuters can get up-to-the-minute
information about traffic conditions, public transportation options, ridesharing, and
bicycling anytime, anywhere throughout the greater Bay Area region and northern
California.
7.0 TRANSIT
Caltrain, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and SamTrans provide transit service to South
San Francisco in proximity to the Oyster Point Business Park. A shuttle system connects
transit riders from these stations in South San Francisco to the Oyster Point area.
Information on this shuttle program is located at http://commute.org/shuttlerider.htm.
To participate in the shuttle programs, employees must receive a valid shuttle pass from
their employers. Oyster Point Business Park will encourage tenants to participate in the
South San Francisco Shuttle Program so that their employees may take advantage of
these shuttle programs.

8.0 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES
Pedestrian facilities comprise pedestrian paths, sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian
signals. There are pedestrian paths in the Oyster Point Business Park.
Bicycle facilities include bicycle paths (Class I), bicycle lanes (Class II), and bicycle
routes (Class III). Bicycle paths are paved trails separated from roadways. Bicycle lanes
are lanes on roadways designated by striping, pavement legends, and signs for use by
bicyclists. Bicycle routes are roadways designated for bicycle use by signs only and may
or may not include additional pavement width for bicyclists.
The San Francisco Bay Trail, a public pedestrian and bicycle trail accessible to the
tenants/employees of the Oyster Point Business Park, is part of a planned 400-mile
system of trails encircling the Bay. A segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail runs
immediately adjacent to the Oyster Point Business Park, hugging the Bay shoreline.
8.1 Pedestrian Connections

entrance to the nearest building. Short-term bicycle parking will use the same methods
used for securing long-term bicycle parking.
All bicycle-parking facilities will be located in convenient, safe, and well-lit areas with
maximum space for the ingress and egress of bicycles. The appropriate number of
bicycle spaces will be provided based on alternative mode use.
Note: The Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance (discussed in more detail in
section 15.0 below) (hereinafter "the Alliance") provides a 50% match for the costs of
purchasing and installing any bicycle parking, from basic racks to high security lockers,
up to a maximum of $500 per unit. The Alliance will also pay up to $200 for installation.
6
8.3 Bicycle Connections
A bicycle lane is provided on Oyster Point Boulevard and a bicycle path is provided on
nearby Forbes Boulevard. The Oyster Point Business Park also connects directly with the
San Francisco Bay Trail, a network of multi-use pathways circling San Francisco and San
Pablo Bays.
8.4 Bicycle Resources
Free Bicycle Buddy matching, bicycle maps and resources are provided via the 511
system. Bicycle commuters looking to find a riding partner can log-on to
bicycling.511.org for more information.
The Alliance provides a free one-hour, on-site Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program for
employees. This workshop informs commuters about bicycling and walking as safe,
stress relieving commute modes; traffic laws for bicyclists and pedestrians; and bicycle
maintenance tips.
8.5 Shower and Clothes Lockers
The Oyster Point Business Park will provide shower and locker facilities free of charge
upon request to help promote cycling as an alternative commute option.
9.0 DESIGNATED EMPLOYER CONTACT AT LEASED SITES
The property is currently managed by Shorenstein Realty Services on behalf of the
Owner, Oyster Point, LLC. The primary contact representing the property owner is the
Property Manager, Steven Levy. The secondary contact representing the property owner
is the Senior Tenant Services Administrator, Merlie Grurnley. Both primary and
secondary contacts will serve as intermediary to the tenant contacts to ensure that there is
oversight of the overall TDM program
Each new tenant will be required to designate an employer contact to serve as to official
contact for the TDM program. The designated contacts will provide employee commute
program assistance to all of the tenant's employees, produce on-site promotional
programs, update information on the information boards/kiosks, collaborate with the
Alliance and 511 to maximize resources, conduct the annual survey and produces the
triennial report. When these contacts are identified, the tenants will provide the City with
their names and phone numbers.
The designated employer contact will provide employees with orientation packets on
transportation alternatives; flyers, posters, brochures, and e-mails on commute
alternatives; transportation fairs; Spare the Air (June - October); Rideshare Week
(October); and routes and maps to assist in trip planning.
7
10.0 MONETARY INCENTIVES
The Oyster Point Business Park will encourage its tenants to offer employees a variety of
incentives to use alternative commute options. These include a pre-tax, payroll deduction
(Commuter Choice) for transit and vanpool users and a daily commute allowance/subsidy
program for employees who use transit, carpool, vanpool, bicycle or walk to work.
10.1 Commute Allowance/Subsidy Program
Oyster Point Business Park will encourage tenants to provide alternative mode
commuters with a daily commute allowance/subsidy in order to reduce parking demand
on campus. Those who choose to participate in the program are compensated for each
day they do not drive alone to the main campus. Employees who choose to continue to
drive will continue to receive their parking benefit. Employees report their monthly
commute activity and are paid accordingly.
10.2 Pre- Tax/Commuter Choice Transit Passes
The Oyster Point Business Park will encourage tenants to offer employees the right to
receive transit passes through Wage Works, a Commuter Choice service that mails transit
passes directly to participants. Employees are eligible to purchase passes through pre-tax
deductions that are deposited into their Wage Works account. This option also allows
employees to use their commute allowance/subsidy towards their transit passes.
10.3 Carpool Incentive Program
Oyster Point Business Park employees will be encouraged to participate in the "You
Pool, We Pay!" program offered by the Alliance. Under the program, when employees
commuting to, from or through San Mateo County form a new carpool with two or more
people over the age of 18, or add a new member to an existing car pool, all participants
will receive a $60 gas card incentive. If the commuters use a hybrid car or clean air
vehicle with a Clean Air Vehicle decal, participants will receive an $80 gas card. In
order to receive this incentive, employees must commit to carpooling to work a minimum
of two days a week, for an eight week period. Oyster Point Business Park will require
tenants to post information about this program on its information boards.
10.4 Vanpool Incentives
As an incentive for vanpooling, the Alliance will pay half the cost for the first three
months of vanpooling, up to $100 per month. Drivers of new vanpools, on the road for at
least 6 months, can receive $500. This one-time incentive is provided for those who join
a new vanpool in the last six months who have not vanpooled for a three-month period
before joining a new vanpool. Oyster Point Business Park will require tenants to post
information about this program on its information boards.
8
10.5 Try Transit Program
The Alliance offers a Try Transit Program that provides free transit tickets to people who
are interested in trying public transit to get to work. These free tickets are meant for
people who are new to transit. Commuters requesting tickets must work, live in or drive
through San Mateo County. Transit ticket options include:
. One $9 BART ticket
. 3 round-trip Caltrain tickets
. 6 one-way SamTrans tickets,
. 6 Dumbarton tickets
. 3 round-trip VT A tickets.
11.0 GUARANTEE RIDE HOME PROGRAM
All new tenants of the Oyster Point Business Park will be required to participate in the
Alliance's Emergency Ride Horne Program. This program offers employees who utilize
alternative forms of commuting a free ride home for emergencies up to four times per
year via taxicabs or rental cars.
The program may not be utilized for doctor's appointments, meetings, shopping trips or
other scheduled purposes. To qualify for the program, participants must fill out a
registration form that will be made available by the business park tenants and must
commute by an alternative mode.
The Alliance covers 75% of the cost for the services, and employers pay the remaining
25% cost. The average cost per emergency ride home for the employer is $12.
12.0 FLEXTIME
Oyster Point Business Park will encourage its tenants to adjust opening and closing times
and to allow employees to have alternative schedules to facilitate the use of alternative
commute modes. In order to use alternative modes of transportation, employees may need
special consideration regarding start and end times of work. For example, the workplace
may open at 8:00 a.m., the carpool drops the employee off at 7:45 a.m., leaving them to
wait until the building is open. Many employees would drive alone given those
conditions. Oyster Point Business Park will encourage its tenants to keep buildings open
and accessible in the early morning and evening hours to support an active flextime
program.
9
13.0 TELECOMMUTING
Oyster Point Business Park will also encourage tenants to consider telecommuting as an
option for employees. Telecommuting involves the use of telephones and computers to
enable an employee to work off-site or outside of the traditional work place. It can mean
working at home or at a telecenter. Many employers look at telecommuting as a way to
reduce work-space demand.
Telecommuting, used as a tool to reduce the cost of doing business and employee
commute trips, has proven to be very effective. The secondary and related benefits
include recruitment and retention value, reduced sick time and absenteeism, improved
productivity and morale, and reduced stress. The benefits mentioned above focus on
employers and employees, but telecommuting will also reduce energy consumption
related to commuting, vehicle miles traveled, and mobile source emissions.
14.0 INFORMA TION BOARDIKIOSK
Each building in the Oyster Point Business Park will have a transportation information
board or kiosk. These displays will include shuttle maps and schedules, transit maps and
schedules, bicycle facility maps, information regarding car and vanpool matching
services, and information regarding alternative commute subsidies provided by the
tenants and the Alliance. Flyers for "Ride Your Bicycle to Work Week" and "Spare the
Air" programs will also be posted.
Tenants will also be encouraged to provide a link to the Oyster Point Business Park's
TDM Program information through their internal Web site. This site would link directly
to the BART Web site that provides Caltrain train and fare schedules, and offers
schedules for each of the shuttle lines. Employees may also access the Nextbus link
through the site to estimate the arrival time of a campus shuttle. Ride matching services
are also offered through the Web site for those interested in carpooling or vanpooling via
the regional 511 Rideshare Web site.
It will be the responsibility of the designated employer contact to update and the
transportation kiosk board and internal Web site.
15.0 TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) are usually private, non-profit
organizations run by a voluntary Board of Directors with typically a small staff. They
help businesses, developers, building owners, local government representatives and
others work together to collectively establish policies, programs and services to address
local transportation problems. The key to a successful TMA lies in the synergism of
multiple groups banding together to address and accomplish more than any single
employer, building operator, developer, or resident could do alone.
10
In South San Francisco, the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance operates as a
TMA organization. The Alliance provides:
. Shuttle programs . Transit advocacy
. Information on local issues . Newsletter
. Parking management programs . Bicycle training program
. Trial transit passes . Training
. Emergency ride home programs . Marketing programs
. Bicycle facilities . Promotional assistance
. Car and vanpool incentives
The Alliance is a clearing-house for information about alternative commute programs,
incentives, and transportation projects affecting San Mateo County businesses. Tenants
of the Oyster Point Business Park will be required to participate in Alliance programs and
utilizes their services.
16.0 COMPLIANCE MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT
The intent of the City of South San Francisco's TDM Ordinance is to reduce SOY trips
and, in doing so, lessen the resulting traffic congestion and mobile source related air
pollution. It is important to ensure TDM measures are actually implemented and
effective. Therefore, a monitoring and enforcement program is necessary for each
application. Because the City's TDM Program is performance-based (i.e. project requires
percentage alternative mode usage and corresponding trip reduction at 28%), an annual
evaluation program will allow Oyster Point Business Park and the City to assess the
effectiveness of its program, and to make adjustments as necessary to meet requirements.
16.1 Annual Surveys for All Projects
The city or city's designated representative shall prepare and administer an annual survey
of participants in the TDM program. The survey will be used to monitor all projects and
the survey administrator will use statistical sampling techniques that will create a ninety-
five percent confidence in the findings. A report of the survey findings (which will not
identify the specific facilities, owners or locations) will be presented annually to the
Planning Commission and City Council.
16.2 Triennial Report
For projects with increased FAR, a triennial report is performed by the City. Oyster
Point Business Park is not seeking a FAR bonus, therefore a Triennial Report is
unnecessary.
II
17.0 CONCLUSION
The report identifies TDM measures that proactively encourage employees to use
alternative commute modes and will, at a minimum, meet the 28% minimum alternative
mode-use required under the City of South San Francisco's Municipal Code.
As outlined in this document, Oyster Point Business Park is committed to providing a
comprehensive TDM plan to its tenants and their employees to promote the use of
alternative modes of transportation. By balancing air quality and traffic congestion with
economic growth, Oyster Point Business Park will help South San Francisco thrive as a
community and marketplace.

Planning Commission
Staff Report
DATE: March 5, 2009
TO: Planning Commission
SUBJECT: Use Permit to allow a cheerleading gym (indoor sports and recreation use) within the
Oyster Point Business Park, 389 Oyster Point Blvd, in the P-I Planned Industrial Zone
District in accordance with SSFMC Chapters 20.32.030 & 20.81.
Owner:
Applicant:
Case Nos.:
Oyster Point LLC
Rebecca B Hazen
P09-0015, UP09-0005
RECOMMENDA TION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve Use Permit UP09-0005 based on the
attached findings and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The applicants propose to establish a cheerleading gym within a vacant 5,120 SF tenant space in the
Oyster Point Business Park at 389 Oyster Point Blvd. Other than the installation of partition walls, no new
construction is proposed for the use. The use would train boys and girls ages 5-25 in competitive
cheerleading and dance. A maximum of 25 to 30 people would train at one time, with a maximum of 4
coaches. Practices would be held from 4PM - lOPM on weekdays and lOAM -7PM on weekends.
In 2005, the Planning Commission approved a use permit (UP05-0009) for this business within a multi-
tenant industrial complex at 434 N Canal St. Subsequently, the use has operated without any complaints.
The applicant is now proposing to relocate to a similar type of space within the Oyster Point Business
Park.
ZONING CONSISTENCY
The site is located in the Oyster Point Business Park in the P-I Planned Industrial Zone District. Pursuant
to SSFMC Section 20.32.030, indoor sports and recreation uses are allowed in the zone subject to approval
of a Use Permit.
PARKING
The Zoning Ordinance does not provide a specific parking requirement for the proposed use. When this
use was previously approved at the N Canal St location, the parking requirement was based on the most
comparable use, which was determined to be a school. Schools require a parking ratio of 1 space per 5
students. The Commission also required one parking space for each instructor. Based on this ratio, the
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Rebels Elite - 389 Oyster Point Blvd
DATE: March 5, 2009
Page 2
parking requirement for a school with a maximum class size of 30 students with 4 coaches would be 10
parking spaces.
As with the previous approval, staff is of the opinion that parking will not be a concern due to the
predominately off-hours nature of the proposed use. The majority of uses within the existing Oyster Point
Business Park are warehousing and research and development uses, with standard daytime business hours
of operation. Parking surveys in the immediate vicinity of the proposed tenant space have shown a
substantial surplus of parking after 4PM.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan, which designates the site as Business
Commercial. This land use designation promotes a broad range of business and commercial uses,
including regional commercial activities.
CEQA
The proposed project has been determined to be categorically exempt under the provisions of CEQA,
Class I, Section 15301, Existing Facilities.
CONCLUSION
The proposed establishment of the indoor sports and recreation us(~ is consistent with the City's General
Plan and Zoning Ordinance, both of which encourage the location of commercial uses along this portion of
South Spruce Avenue. The project site is well served by transit and the mixed use configuration of the site
supports consideration of a variance to the parking requirements. Consequently, staffrecommends that the
Planning Commission approve Use Permit UP09-0005 based on the attached findings and subject to the
attached Conditions of Approval.

FINDINGS OF APPROVAL
P09-0015/ UP09-0005
389 OYSTER POINT BLVD
(As recommended by City Staff on March 5, 2009)
As required by the "Use Permit Procedures" (SSFMC Section 20.81), the following findings are made in
support ofa Use Permit to allow a cheerleading gym (indoor sports and recreation use) in a 5,120 square
foot tenant space within the Oyster Point Business Park, 389 Oyster Point Blvd, in the P-I Planned
Industrial Zoning District in accordance with SSFMC 20.32 & 20.81, based on public testimony and
materials submitted to the South San Francisco Planning Commission which include, but are not limited
to: Application materials prepared by applicant, dated February 9, 2009; Planning Commission staff report
dated March 5, 2009; and Planning Commission meeting of March 5, 2009.
I. The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan which designates the site
Business Commercial. This land use designation promotes administrative, financial, business,
professional, medical and public offices, and visitor-oriented and regional commercial
activities. Regional commercial uses are permitted subject to appropriate standards. The
proposed use is well suited to the existing building, requiring high-ceilinged open spaces that
are generally not found in commercially designated areas. The use also involves no structural
changes to the building which would preclude it from other business commercial uses in the
future.
2. The proposed project is consistent with the City's Ordinance which designates the site Planned
Industrial. Indoor sports and recreation uses, such as a cheer gym, are permitted in the zone
district subject to approval of a Use Permit. Based on the following the proposed use will meet
or exceed all development standards of the P-I Zone District:
a. The Zoning Ordinance does not provide a specific parking requirement for the proposed
use. Consequently, pursuant to SSFMC Section 20.74.1 00, the requirement is based on
the most comparable use which has been determined to be a school, since team classes are
scheduled, limited in size and targeted to school age children. Schools require a parking
ratio of I space per 5 students. An additional requirement of one space for each instructor
is recommended. Based on this ratio, the parking requirement for a school with a
maximum class size of 30 with four coaches would be 10 parking spaces. The tenant
space will have access to a minimum of 10 parking spaces and the ability to utilize
surplus spaces within the business park.
3. The project is categorically exempt under the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (Class 1, Section 15301 - existing facility).
4. The proposed use will not be adverse to the public health, safety or general welfare of the
community nor detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements. The proposal involves
reuse of an existing warehouse tenant space during off peak hours for a commercial recreation
use with no physical changes to the building. The site is surrounded by other business park
type uses and there is no likelihood that the use would produce any adverse effects on the
surrounding area.

EXHIBIT A
2/9/09
To whomever it may concern,
Rebels Elite is a competitive cheerleading and dance gym. We train boys and girls
ages 5-25. The athletes are taught how to do the skills involved in competitive
cheerleading and dance, We train them in gymnastics tumbling, stunting, and dance. The
Rebels Elite gym has a full spring floor, trampoline and tons of other mats and training
tools.
Our athletes corne from allover San Mateo County to make up the most skilled teams
in the Bay Area. The highly trained coaches are. the best at what they do, and several of
them are also coaches for local high schools and universities. We have happily
participated in several South City fairs and for the last 4 years South San Francisco has
been our home.
We have several athletes, but there is a maximum of25 to 3D people practicing at any
onetime. Most students practice 2-3 times per week. Our practices start in the afternoon
as students are out of school by 4pm and continue until as late as 10pm. On weekends we
begin around I Darn and continue until around 7pm. Most of our athletes are under 18 and
have parents car pool them to our location. At anyone time we will have up to 3 coaches
on the premises.
