Commissioner Teglia questioned what staff's response to the letter received regarding the proposed addition was.
Acting Chief Planner Kalkin noted that the letter was dealing with the rental of the unit and staff does not have
the ability to address whether they are renting a room out or homeowner occupied. Commissioner Teglia noted
that there is not much control over that, and noted that this is not a second unit that will not have a separate
ingress and egress.
Acting Chief Planner Kalkin noted that this was correct and it is an addition to the home. Associate Planner
Beaudin noted that he will respond to the inquiring party as to what the City has control over and what it cannot
control.
Motion Romero /Second Sim to approve P06-0037: PUDM06-0001 & DR06-0031.

Public Hearing opened.
Recess called at 7:39 p.m.
Senior Planner Carlson presented the staff report.
Recalled to order at 7:43 p.m.
Vice Chairperson Honan asked staff to review some of the issues at the May 15~' meeting, being that she was
absent.
Senior Planner Carlson noted that some of the Commission's comments were:
Traffic, queuing with the left turn pocket into the site
Traffic backing out to US Highway 101
Alternative access through the JPB site
Commissioner Teglia added that they also asked for better aesthetics and rooftop parking. Senior Planner
Carlson noted that the pictures presented by Commissioner Romero encouraged the applicant to revise the plans.
Greg George, Home Depot, noted that the architect has revised the plans. He pointed out that they looked into
rooftop parking extensively and found that it doubles the cost of the building. He stated that he is unable to
provide rooftop parking.
Frank Coda, Architect, gave a PowerPoint presentation and addressed some of the changes made to the
proposal. The changes were -
Added a second lane into the parking lot, one is dedicated for the first level and the other allows the
driver to continue straight this addressed the queuing concerns.
They added a significant tower element to show the entry to the site.
They upgraded the parking deck with vertical elements and freestanding trellises on the exterior
The architect eliminated the orange color, with the exception of the corporate logo.
The fence is not a chain link fence but wrought iron fence.

Planning Commission Meeting of June 1, 2006
Decorative lighting elements were added to the garden center and on the parking structure which
was carried all around the deck.
Public Hearing closed.
Commissioner Prouty questioned if there was going to beano left hand turn at the median. He suggested that
they not be allowed to make a left turn which would ensure that the driver goes toward the deck. Mr. Coda
noted that they were entertaining the no left turn option but also did not want the customers that were in that
area to go back out to the street to get find a parking space.
Commissioner Giusti thanked the architect for not using orange color on the structure.
Chairperson Zemke asked if the columns that support the parking structure had ivy growing on them. Mr. Coda
noted that the columns will have ivy growing on them and the upper level planters will have vines growing on
them. Chairperson Zemke also asked if there was going to be a stairway by the cargo elevators. Mr. Coda noted
that this will be included.
Commissioner Prouty asked if the freight elevators were the same size as those in the Colma store. Mr. Coda
noted that the Colma elevators were smaller than the ones proposed in this Home Depot.
Chairperson Zemke asked how opaque the mesh behind the wrought iron fence was for viewing purposes. Mr.
Coda noted that the mesh is a three to two inch square so that people cannot pull things through them.
Commissioner Romero was concerned with the palette enclosure and trash compactor area. He was concerned
with this area becoming an outdoor area like with other Home Depots. He noted the importance to have a
Condition of Approval requiring for everything to be contained within the building. Mr. Coda noted that there are
enclosures that can be solid walls and could screen it more along so that it is not visible from Dubuque.
Commissioner Romero asked where the delivery trucks would load and unload materials. Mr. Coda noted that all
deliveries are done in the back. Mr. Coda and Commissioner Romero discussed the circulation of delivery trucks
on the site. It was explained that the trucks would be at the site when the store is closed to the public and
would enter the site through the customer access area and then go to the back and unload. Commissioner
Romero stated that he does not want to see continuous outdoor storage in the palette area and containers in the
parking lot or in the seasonal sales area. Mr. Coda suggested that there need to be some screen walls in the
area to ensure what they are after. Commissioner Romero suggested continuing a wrought iron fence to screen
the area too.
Commissioner Romero asked if the SSF store going to replace the Colma store and if Home Depot was moving
more towards serving contractors rather than for the consumers. Mr. Coda noted that they are not planning on
expanding their operations to contractors and assured the Commissioner that this site would be a consumer
Home Depot.
Commissioner Teglia noted that the layout of the building on the property. He felt that the tower sticks out and
did not see it as an improvement. He stated that the East elevation is the front door and the North elevation will
be visible from 101. He pointed out that the loading docks and the storage will be seen from 101 and the
building would have a better presence if it were oriented towards 101. he felt that the building should be offset
towards Dubuque and the loading docks should be in the rear facing towards the railroads with a pocket lane.
Vice Chairperson Honan asked for a clarification in the deliveries of the materials. Mr. Coda noted that they
prefer to have delivery trucks in off peak hours. Vice Chairperson Honan noted that there will be an option of
having the store operate 24 hours a day which will cause the store to have deliveries during business hours while
there are customers in the store.
Mr. George noted that the design and merchandise of the store is a typical Home Depot and not a contractor
oriented store and added that the contractor base of their customers is 25%. He added that every delivery is a
scheduled delivery and the goal is to deliver on non-peak hours. Vice Chairperson Honan asked if deliveries would
s:\rnCwutes~~iwa~Czed M%wutes~2oo~O\o6-os-o6 R.pc Mt~.utes.doc Page ~F o f zo
Planning Commission Meeting of June 1, 2006
be in the day on weekends. Mr. George noted that if they City desires not to have weekend business they could
work with no deliveries on one day of the weekend and have deliveries on the other day of the weekend to be
fully stoked on Monday morning for business.
Vice Chairperson Honan asked where the appliances that have been returned be stored. Mr. George noted that
the non operable appliances be scheduled for pickup as soon as possible and be stored near the delivery docks in
the meantime. Vice Chairperson Honan asked how often the pickups of these appliances are performed. Mr.
George noted that he would look into this and respond to Vice Chairperson Honan.
Commissioner Teglia asked if the applicant considered a Home Depot Expo at the site. Mr. George noted that the
expo concept and business model changed two years ago and added that 15of those were closed in the United
States.
Commissioner Sim noted that he is looking at the vertical expressions and noted that the north and west
elevations do not match. Mr. Coda noted that these will be corrected because the west elevation is the
determining height. Commissioner Sim added that the south and east elevations have the same matching issues.
Mr. Coda noted that there are some corner elements that need to be refined corrected. He pointed out that the
east elevation needs to wrap and a peak will go away.
Commissioner Sim noted that he has not seen the roof plan for the parking structure to see how much density
and coverage there is. Commissioner Sim added that the parapet should be screened and should look real. He
noted that the loading and unloading is going to be an eyesore. He stated that the architect needs to show cross
sections of 101 and how they expect to screen views from this area. He pointed out that the lighting will create
a nightscape that will be dramatic when someone drives by.
Commissioner Teglia and Mr. Coda explored the reorientation of the building towards Dubuque with loading in
the back or on the side. Mr. Coda noted that they have explored it but have little flexibility because of heights
and scales. Commissioner Teglia felt that the current design is not the best for the site.
Commissioner Prouty asked if the architect could look at the truck delivery area to see if they could avoid any
potential storage issues. Mr. Coda noted that there may be a way but could explore the rear corner in totality.
Commissioner Sim stated that the cumulative effect of the aesthetics and traffic is significant. He would like to
see a diagram of where the footprint relative to the building stands. Mr. Coda noted that some of the photos are
very hard to put together but will try and put something conceptual together.
Commissioner Romero was concerned with the carts not having a specified storage area because they are
scattered throughout the parking lot. Mr. Coda noted that there are cart corrals throughout the parking lot.
Commissioner Romero added that there should be a designated storage area for the carts and not throughout
the parking lot. Mr. Coda pointed out that the concept is to have them stored in the vestibule.
Commissioner Romero asked what would be washed down at the TRC storage. Mr. Coda replied that this is
where customers would return any rental equipment and it would be washed down and prepared for next rental.
He added that they comply with the current codes for this type of area.
Commissioner Romero asked if the outside display area would be on an ongoing basis. Mr. Coda stated that this
will be ongoing depending on the sales that are occurring at the time.
Commissioner Prouty asked what the use would be for the seasonal sales area. Mr. Coda noted that this area
would be used about four to five times a year and with the exception of the Christmas tree sales they are all a
week in duration. He clarified that the sidewalk display area will be the ongoing display area. Commissioner
Prouty asked if the cart corrals were going to take up some of the parking spaces and if so, how much would it
impact the parking on the site. Mr. Coda noted that these are already in the plans and do not impact the
parking.

Planning Commission Meeting of June 1, 2006
Vice Chairperson Honan noted that that this looks like a standard Home Depot building. Mr. Coda noted that it is
a custom design because they do not have other Home Depots with a parking garage. She noted that she is not
comfortable on the design. Mr. Coda noted that they can work on the details of the corner and pointed out that
they are nearing their budget on this project. Vice Chairperson Honan was uncomfortable with the location of
the loading docks and pallet storage.
Commissioner Teglia noted that the Commission is looking for other details on the plans, which is something the
architect is willing to do but there is a time constraint issue. He suggested having the applicant withdraw their
application and work with staff to make the proposed project aesthetically pleasing. He noted that if this is what
they are going to render on decision on, then the Commission could conclude that there are no overriding
considerations to warrant the project and deny the project.
Chairperson Zemke asked for clarification from staff on time constraints. Senior Planner Carlson noted that the
applicant has one year under California law with only a maximum of a total of a 90 day extension in which the
decision making body has to make a decision, which includes City Council. He noted that the one year timeline
was up on May 31 and the applicant has agreed to an additional 60 days, until the end of July. He pointed out
that if the applicant returns on the June 15th meeting the Council has both meetings in July to review the project.
Commissioner Romero asked that a comparative analysis of Home Depot and Lowe's be given to the Commission
when the applicant returns. Senior Planner Carlson noted that both sites are separated by a building and stated
that it is difficult to get a good picture of the area from different angles.
Commissioner Romero noted that he does not want to move the project forward with a recommendation to deny.
He asked if the applicant was willing to return to the Commission and address the issues brought up at the
meeting. Mr. Coda stated that they would like the opportunity to do this. He clarified that they granted a 45 day
extension which was up to July 15th. He felt that they are agreeable to extending that if the Council needs
another session with the applicant.
Commissioner Prouty pointed out that getting a full picture of the area and a perspective of both sites is very
important so the Commission has a full picture of what this will look like. Mr. Coda noted that they cannot get a
3-dimensional view of the site and a 2-dimensional view of the area is extremely difficult to get.
Commissioner Sim noted that a physical model will allow each individual to see the project in different ways and
see the entire context of 101, adjacent buildings, and the project. Mr. Coda noted that a 3-dimensional model
may not be ready in the short time frame they have. He noted that a strip elevation would give the Commission
some sense of the masses.
Commissioner Teglia reiterated his concern of the loading dock and trash compactor areas. He suggested that
the architect explore putting these on the railroad side. Commissioner Sim suggested seeing a materials color
board.
Chairperson Zemke noted that the Commission's consensus is to see a roof plan, screening of the freight area or
possible relocation, additional detail on the sign tower, cumulative visual effects of this project and Lowe's, cart
storage and corner treatments.
Commissioner Teglia added that they see the total sign program. Mr. Coda noted that the initial submittal did
have the detail and due to time constraints could not include it with this packet. He stated that it would be in the
future packet.
Senior Planner Carlson noted that the next meeting is on June 15th at which they will have a Public Hearing on
Lowe's and this may be the Commission's opportunity to see both projects together. He added that CalTrans
sent in a letter after the statutory comment period. Their comments are on the traffic study and one of many of
their comments is in their jurisdiction. He pointed out that the City has been using the traffic model that they
suggested and has met with CalTrans to inform them of this. He also added that the City is not obligated to
respond to their comments because the comment period has closed. Many of the impacts that they are
s:V~lCwutes\~Cwaltzed r~[wutes~zoo~\o6-oi-o6 R.pc MLwutes.doc page 6 of zo
Planning Commission Meeting of June 1, 2006
concerned with are occurring in the year 2020 and it is likely that the freeway will not be able to provide traffic
accessibility. He concluded that staff is overstating the effects on traffic and local street system.
Motion Sim /Second Romero to continue the item to June 15, 2006. Approved by unanimous voice vote.
Commissioner Teglia addressed the architect and suggested that they ask for additional time if they are not ready
by the June 15"' meeting.

Planning Commission Meeting of June 1, 2006
situated at 140 Produce Avenue, in the Planned Commercial (P-C) Zoning District, in accordance with
SSFMC Chapters 20.81 & 20.86
Public Hearing opened.
Senior Planner Carlson presented the staff report.
Kristina Lawson, Attorney for Shell, introduced Pete Tobin the architect for Shell and Facilities Engineer Jim
Martin. She added that they submitted alternative pump sign designs to Shell in Houston and not all of them
were approved. She informed the Commission that the 710 EI Camino site has been cited for being out of
compliance with State law and has negotiated with the officer that cited them to not fine them until they have
obtained a Use Permit from them.
Pet Tobin, Arc Inc. Architects, noted that they are agree to the condition attached to the five stations pertaining
to removal of all the illegal signs and banners above the service bay doors. He added that all the temporary
signs in the planters have already been removed and stated that he had been to the sites and checked that they
were removed. He gave a presentation showing what exists at the locations. He showed 3 examples of what
Houston Shell had recommended for the sites, which were their current standards, the 65% percent reduction of
the "V-power" company logo and the regular size of their logo. He also had a presentation board showing what
the competitors currently have at their locations.
Jim Martin, Shell Oil Facilities Engineer, stated that all five facilities are company owned but are franchised to
independent businessmen. He pointed out that the Commission's decision on the sign programs will determine
their ability to compete with other businesses. He added that it is not only Shell applying for this but also those
individual businessmen.
Public Hearing closed.
Commissioner Teglia asked if all three examples were options. Mr. Martin noted that all three of the examples
are options and these options are standard signs that are available. He added that anything else would be a
custom job and expensive.
Chairperson Zemke noted that there are no placards on the top of the pumps and pointed out that some stations
do put these on. Senior Planner noted that staff would not support signs on that area nor consider the term
"quality fuels".
Commissioner Teglia questioned if the City's preference is the reduced "v-power" sign with the banner at the top
removing the quality fuels statement. Senior Planner Carlson noted that this is the case if the Commission wants
the banner at the top with the pump number and if the Commission wants to allow the color on the banner it is
their discretion. He pointed out that they are trying to get the "v-power" in compliance with law so that it is
viewed at the pump and on the street.
Vice Chairperson Honan stated that she prefers the one that does not say "v-power" because it looks cleaner and
neater. Commissioner Prouty noted that this is also his preference. He was concerned with illegal signs and
banners which were still at the 710 EI Camino Real site in the morning. Ms. Lawson noted that Shell has
managers that try to make sure that everything is in compliance. She added that they have been successful in
keeping the temporary ground mounted signs off the lawns. She committed that once their RVI is approved a
letter will be sent to these dealers making it clear that they need to keep the illegal signs off.
Commissioner Teglia asked what the sign requirements are for smog signs. Ms. Lawson noted that there are
requirements and is not familiar with what they are. Commissioner Teglia noted that instead of it being a banner
it could be part of the sign permit or part of the monument sign. Ms. Lawson added that the requirement by
State law could be the square sign that has the check on it.
Commissioner Giusti noted that she too prefers a cleaner sign and questioned if "quality fuels" has to be on the
top and bottom of the pump. Ms. Lawson noted that this is one of Shells registered trademarks and they do
s:\MCwutes\~~wa~~zed M%wutes\2oo6\o6-os-o6 izPC MCwutes.doc gage 8 of 20
Planning Commission Meeting of June 1, 2006
want to have that on the pump because they do not have an approval of taking it off.
Assistant City Attorney Spoerl noted that State Law requires one iteration of the registered trademark and there
is no requirement to have it twice.
Commissioner Romero was not concerned with the duplication of the trademark but with advertising food,
beverages and other items. He stated that there should not be any advertising in the areas that are white on the
examples. Commissioner Prouty agreed that the issue is not the trademark but all the additional advertising on
the site. Senior Planner Carlson suggested that the Commission consider a potential amendment with the sign
code to allow more than what State Law allows. Commissioner Prouty noted that a trademark is hard to get
approved and does not have an issue with the trademark being displayed. He reiterated his concern with other
advertising. Senior Planner Carlson noted that the Commission needs to make it clear what is being allowed
because there may be other company trademarks that could be added to the pumps.
Commissioner Teglia asked if Senior Planner Carlson was recommending only one trademark. Senior Planner
Carlson noted that State law only requires one trademarked sign but asked that the Commission state what they
will accept to be consistent in how they will deal with other stations.
Chairperson Zemke noted that he prefers the signage that is neater with "quality fuels" and the font is not
noticeable from the street.
The Commission and Ms. Lawson discussed how many gas companies are moving towards branded fuels. Ms.
Lawson asked that all gas stations in South San Francisco be asked to meet the same requirements that these
Shell stations have had to meet.
Assistant City Attorney Spoerl felt that there does not have to be two trademarks approved for the sign program
and that would be in compliance with State law. He added that this may not set too much of a precedent for the
other stations.
Motion Romero /Second Proutv to approve the standard option with the trademark on the top and bottom.
On the question:
Commissioner Teglia noted that the individual trademarks vary from franchise to franchise and that they would
be considering signs on a case by case basis.

65401.
Senior Civil Engineer Chuck presented the staff report.
Commissioner Teglia asked why the Chestnut Avenue widening was no longer on the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) and if it will no longer be done, he asked if the parking would be restored on Chestnut. Senior
Civil Engineer Chuck noted that there was opposition to it and never carried forward. He added that the Oak
Avenue extension should alleviate some of the traffic from Chestnut. He noted that he put the parking
restoration on Traffic Advisory Committee's (TAC) agenda for review.
Commissioner Teglia noted that there is a budget for fiberoptics from IT and suggested that the Audio/Visual
system in the MSB could be updated for a low amount of money. Senior Civil Engineer Chuck noted that this is
from the I"f department and it is so that they can see the progress and connect the buildings. Commissioner
Teglia noted that the system in the MSB is not working well. He suggested that the system needs to be updated.
Commissioner Romero asked about extending the sidewalk on Hickey Boulevard to Colma. Senior Civil Engineer
Chuck noted that they have contacted the Superintendent of Public Works to see if this can be done within the
Department and not require a full CIP project. He added that he would get back to the Commission on this issue.
Motion Teglia /Second Prouty approving resolution 2653-2006 recommending that the City Council approve the
CIP for Fiscal Year 06-07. Approved by unanimous voice vote.
ITEMS FROM STAFF
13. Genentech Master Plan -Study Session Schedule
Senior Planner Lappen noted that there are two potential schedules for the Commission to decide when they
would like to have Study Session on the Genentech Master Plan. One would be two two hour study sessions on a
