Acting Chief Planner Kalkin presented the staff report.
Commissioner Prouty noted that there was concern about parking when the Use Permit was approved and
wondered if there were any issues with that. Acting Chief Planner Kalkin noted that she had contacted the Police
Department with regards to additional traffic or parking problems in the area and they noted none.
Vice Chairperson Honan noted that she has noticed along with other residents that the store is not kept up to
Starbuck's cleanliness standards. Zeden Jones, Starbuck's representative, noted that they did acid wash and
reseal the site because the light color the shows a lot of dirt. He added that they have a professional janitor come
into the store every four weeks to make sure the store is clean and would look into increasing the thoroughness
of the cleaning in the store.
Chairperson Zemke and Commissioner Romero echoed Vice Chairperson Honan's comments on the appearance of
the store. Mr. Jones noted that they could add some more lighting by replacing their basic sconces in the ceiling.
Chairperson Zemke noted that there is loitering in the area and if it is a concern around Starbucks. Sergeant
Normandy noted that they do experience issues with transients downtown and there have been some issues in
the past but Starbucks has not been the generator of these issues.
Commissioner Prouty repeated his question regarding traffic issues generated by Starbucks. Sergeant Normandy
responded that there has not been an increase in the traffic issues in the downtown as a result of Starbucks.
Commissioner Teglia noted that Starbucks does not attract the transient element but it is the use across from
them which has illegally expanded and this is something that Code Enforcement should look into and terminate.
Motion Prouty /Second Teglia to accept staff's report and review the Use Permit in another 6 months.

Use Permit and Design Review to allow a 1,921 sq. ft. coffee shop in an existing building at 102 Grand
Avenue in the Downtown Commercial (D-C-L) Zoning District in accordance with SSFMC Chapters 20.26,
20.85 & 20.81
Public Hearing opened.
Associate Planner Smalley presented the staff report.
Jeff Haywood, Peet's representative, noted that Peet's started over 40 years ago in Berkeley. He added that they
participate in many local and cultural events. He pointed out that the 102 Grand Avenue site is well located to
serve residents, shoppers and hi-tech employees of the City. He stated that Peet's will help bring in new
businesses and promote an active pedestrian environment.
Public Hearing closed.
Commissioner Teglia noted that he did not see any issues with the project and was pleased to see that the owner
would repaint the building. He stated that this is an opportunity for the building to be cleaned up because there
is conduit running along the building and many abandoned signs. He suggested that the wiring be embedded
within the building.
Commissioner Romero noted that he had been inside the building and reported some violations to Code
Enforcement and asked for an update. Assistant Fire Marshall Niswonger replied that the referral was responded
to and the owner obtained the building permits for electrical work and water heater replacement. Commissioner
Romero was concerned that there were not consistent designs and signs throughout the first level of the building.
He noted that in conjunction with the Use Permit for Peet's Coffee the remainder of the building needs to be
improved. He noted that the building is lacking character and high quality.
Associate Planner Smalley noted that the owner can respond with regards to any improvements that are planned
for the building and added that staff is looking at having other businesses comply with similar requirements as
they come in for Planning approvals.
Commissioner Teglia noted that this should include removal of the stucco and replacement of wood siding.

Planning Commission Meeting of September 7, 2006
Rick Bocci, co-owner, noted that he would like to make changes but does not want to disrupt the current tenants
and knows that some of the businesses want unique signs to identify their businesses. Commissioner Romero
noted that unique signage was important but noted that there is no continuity in the face of the building and it
should look like one building. Mr. Bocci noted that they are looking at upgrading the site little by little starting
with the corner. Commissioner Prouty noted that the cable wiring around the building could be put in conduit or
covered in some way to make the building look more pleasing. Mr. Bocci noted that there will be new electrical
for the corner and pointed out that they don't like wires on their buildings.
Mr. Haywood noted that they have been looking at the service upgrade with PG&E for Peet's and they are trying
to see if they will pull the power from the corner of Cypress, around the alley and into the store, rather than
bringing it along Grand Avenue. He pointed out that this could allow for rewiring the existing businesses that are
being serviced through the corner pole. He added that Peet's wants to paint two or three of the storefronts the
standard Peet's color to give the building continuity.
Commissioner Giusti noted that the corner is extremely busy and questioned if Peet's would notify their customers
that there is parking available at two adjacent parking lots. Mr. Haywood noted that most of their customers will
be from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. He added that most of the parking spaces are vacant at that time of the day and
pointed out that the Parking Place Commission has required a 6 month review on the parking near the store.
Associate Planner Smalley noted that staff can provide Parking District maps to Peet's for distribution to their
customers.
Commissioner Sim questioned if more lighting fixtures would be added to the exterior. Mr. Haywood noted that
they have lighting in the interior by the windows but can look at some exterior lighting. Commissioner Sim stated
that he would like to see more lighting to create a lantern effect at night for the safety of the customers. He
added that there should be some master plan of what the other projects are to look like in the future reviews.
Mr. Bocci noted that they want something nice for the building and continuity also. He added that if the tenants
do not have a problem with losing some of their identity, they could make the changes.
Chairperson Zemke questioned if any of the other businesses on the block have approved signs by the City.
Associate Planner Smalley noted that some do and staff has made it clear to potential tenants for a current
vacancy on the block that they must comply with this sign program.
Commissioner Prouty noted that the wiring is deteriorating and encouraged the owner to repaint the facade.
Commissioner Teglia added that the siding needs repair and suggested that a condition of approval be added that
calls for the conduits to be taken off the front and that any TV wiring and electrical conduits should be brought in
through the back. Mr. Bocci asked that the Commission not include a condition that calls for removing the
conduits until the contractor looks at the site and determines where the electrical wires go.
Commissioner Teglia suggested that the condition can require all the electrical and cable TV wiring at the project
site has to either be removed or, subject to the review of the Chief Planner, the owner must work to the best of
his ability to remove the wires from the rest of the building. Mr. Bocci noted that this can be set as a requirement
for all new tenants. Mr. Haywood noted that their area is going to be entirely upgraded, but the rest of the
building could turn out to be costly.
Commissioner Sim suggested that the Commission add a condition of approval requiring additional lighting be
added to the building, with fixtures to be in character with the building. Commissioner Prouty also asked to see a
sign program for the building to tie all the different uses together. Mr. Bocci noted that he would work at getting
this together.
Motion Teglia /Second Giusti to approve P06-0092 subject to the Conditions of Approval including:
• Improving the light fixtures
• Working with Chief Planner to remove all cable TV exterior wiring and find a suitable stealthing
solution for the wiring that cannot be removed.
• Repainting of the entire building.

Planning Commission Meeting of September 7, 2006
On the question
Commissioner Sim asked that the lighting fixtures be reviewed by the Chief Planner to make sure that it is in
character with the building. Commissioner Teglia noted that the light fixtures could return to the Commission for
review. Commissioner Sim asked that the project include a lot of lighting.
Amended Motion Teglia /Second Giusti to include more lighting and final design to be reviewed by the
Planning Commission. Approved by unanimous voice vote.

Hernandez, Jose J & Rita/Owner
Comerica/Applicant
401 Grand Ave
P05-0168: UP05-0030
Review of window box design and content associated with a new bank at 401 Grand Avenue in the
Downtown Commercial (D-C-L) Zone District in accordance with SSFMC Chapters 20.81 and 20.85.
Public Hearing opened.
Associate Planner Beaudin presented the staff report and added that the last line from Condition of Approval #8
be removed.
Commissioner Teglia noted that the graphics show the poster frame to frame when they were recommended to
be inset from the frame. Associate Planner Beaudin noted that staff is recommending the graphics to be inset but
the applicant would prefer for the graphic to encompass the window. He added that they could not represent the
depth of the window box and staff is proposing the 8 inch setback with smaller graphics to cover 50% of the
window area.
David Link noted that the elevations show the setbacks per staff's recommendations. He went through options for
the Planning Commission to review.
Commissioner Teglia noted that he preferred option C and staff's recommendation on the sizes.
s:V~Cwutes\~%walCzedNt~wutes~2oo6\oy-o~-o6tzFC.doc Page6of io
Planning Commission Meeting of September 7, 2006
Public Hearing closed.
Vice Chairperson Honan questioned why option "A" was the applicant's choice. Mr. Link noted that option "A" is
consistent with all of their advertising and branches. Option "B" addresses the Commission's concern in terms of
having wording on the signage. Option "C" is pictures of Historic South San Francisco.
Commissioner Giusti asked if the pictures would be changed from time to time or are they going to be permanent
pictures. Mr. Link noted that Comerica's advertising or images changes every three months but option "C" is a
permanent display and options "A"and "B" could be reviewed by the Chief Planner when they would change the
images.
Commissioner Romero noted that staff is allowing to change the content by eliminating the second sentence in
Condition of A8. He wanted to make it clear in the Condition that any change to the content should maintain
historical significance and suggested that the Condition be modified to reflect this. Acting Chief Planner Kalkin
noted that Condition A# would make the change to option "C", this would reflect that this would be the content.
Commissioner Romero noted that he would prefer that it be stated in the Condition.
Kimberly Smith, representing Comerica, noted that by choosing option "C" the Commission is being prohibitive to
Comerica by limiting the signage to historical pictures of South San Francisco and limiting their business
advertising.
Chairperson Zemke asked if the bank on the opposite side of the street had any window treatments. Associate
Planner Beaudin noted that he did not have the opportunity to look at the bank. Acting Chief Planner Kalkin
added that there are window sign limitations for the Downtown Area and they can only cover 15% of the window.
Motion Teglia /Second Romero to approve the window box design with option "C"and amending Condition
of Approval A8 restricting signs to historical images.
On the auestion;
Vice Chairperson Honan did not agree to limit the signs to South San Francisco images. She added that option
"A" is fair to the applicant and asked if they could include a South San Francisco image on varied occasions. Ms.
Smith noted that she would bring this back to Comerica and see if they are willing to do so. She noted that the
pictures would be replaced if they deteriorate.
Chairperson Zemke noted his concern and pointed out that he would support a compromise to rotate signs that
help accomplish Comerica's objectives.
Commissioner Teglia noted that other banks in the City have one wall to advertise and Comerica has additional
space for advertising that other banks do not receive. He pointed out that the Commission is trying to help
Comerica cover up sections of the building in an aesthetic way. Commissioner Prouty noted that he does not
want to start an advertising precedence and want to have something pleasing on the windows.
Commissioner Romero noted that he suggested modifying Condition of Approval A8 to make sure that there was
not subsequent advertising to appear on the windows. He noted that it could be historical or any other picture as
long as it is not advertising. He added that the displays could be of a kind that would be considered an artistic
display rather than an advertisement. Ms. Smith noted that they could limit the size to 22 by 28. She added that
she does not want to be limited to historical photos and art displays.
Amended Motion Teglia/ Second Romero to include Condition A8 to read "the display image of historical
significance or artistic non advertising image subject to the approval of the Chief Planner with notification to the
Planning Commission.
On the auestion:
Chairperson Zemke noted that there is a difference between advertising and promoting their image.
Commissioner Teglia noted that the motion is to accept option "C" with the option to modify it and receive
approval.

Precise Plan, Specific Plan, Design Review, Zoning Text Amendment amending Chapter 20.63 of the
SSFMC and Final Environmental Impact Report with Addendum for a re-entitlement of an existing 665,000
square feet office building to allow the office square footage to be constructed in two towers and an increase
in commercial uses. The project would consist of: 665,000 square feet of office in two high rise towers,
25,000 square feet of commercial space, a 100-child day care center and a 200 seat performing arts shared
with office space.
Public hearing opened.
Consultant Planner Knapp presented the staff report.
Mr. Meyers noted that they would be addressing the changes to the design since their last meeting. He pointed
out that the Commission had received a set of revised drawings, a modified financial report in response to the
City's comments from the Director of Finance, and a working draft of the performing arts center shared use
agreement. He pointed out that there will be a video from Kazuko Morgan of Cushman and Wakefield with regard
to the types of uses in the commercial aspect of the project.
Cliff Lowe, Cliff Lowe & Associates, went through some of the landscaping details in terms of the species, location
and creating people spaces. He added that they will have an ecological firm do the planting and maintenance of
the plants because they are specialists in restoring areas to their original vegetation.
Mr. Myers noted that they will phase the project and added that all the City benefits will be constructed in Phase
I.
Michael Duncan, SOM Architects, spoke in detail on the garage and the corrugated metal material that will give a
shimmering effect to the garage. He added that the traffic configuration will be 2 lanes in and 2 lanes out. He
also noted that if the project needs additional traffic flow, the median could be reduced to allow for a right and
left turn at the first intersection without interrupting the landscaping.
Mr. Myers noted that there will be public art throughout the project and then proceeded to show a video of
Kazuko Morgan of Cushman and Wakefield explaining the commercial tenants they will market for the retail
component. Mr. Myers proceeded to give details on the chairs and seating arrangements for the performing arts
center and closed the presentation with a video ~~drive by" of the project from northbound and southbound 101.

Speakers
Michael Valencia noted that Mr. Myers presented his project to the Chamber of Commerce and thanked him for
keeping the Chamber informed on his plans in South San Francisco. He clarified that the Chamber of Commerce
does not endorse a project of any sort but they do commend him for using the Chamber's resources to educate
the community on his project.
TAPE 2
Lance Huntley spoke in favor of the proposal and added that the performing arts theatre is needed in the area
because there is a lack of venues in San Mateo County.
William Nack, Building Trades Council, spoke in favor of the project and added that the proposed project will
create jobs. He also presented a letter from the Housing Leadership Council in favor of the project because it will
provide 32 below market rate homes.
Public Hearing closed.
Vice Chairperson Honan questioned why a development agreement was not being recommended by staff.
Consultant Planner Knapp noted that the direction came from the City Manager's office and staff incorporated the
comments and issues in the Conditions of Approval, Zoning Ordinance and Specific Plan to try and address the
issues that would remain if there is not a development agreement. She added that the City Council may want a
development agreement. Vice Chairperson Honan questioned how many large projects similar to this one have
been approved without a development agreement. Acting Chief Planner Kalkin noted that there have been
several, notably the Gateway projects, that did not have development agreements. She clarified that the
development agreement extends the entitlements out for many years and the City does not see the benefit of a
Development Agreement since all the issues are covered in the Conditions of Approval.
Vice Chairperson Honan questioned if the 32 units should be required or a placement of a bond required.
Consultant Planner Knapp clarified that the condition of approval states that prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy for the first tower the 32 moderate income units should be completely constructed with an option to
provide a performance bond to guarantee construction of the units with in one year of a Certificate of Occupancy
on the office. Consultant Planner Knapp further noted that a "housing agreement" would also be required of the
project. Acting Chief Planner Kalkin added that the bond is to guarantee a date certain when the units would be
completed.
Commissioner Teglia asked if it would be beneficial to have the units built before Certificate of Occupancy. Acting
Chief Planner Kalkin replied affirmatively and added that staff was trying to provide an option to have a bond
issued if they could not provide them at the same time of the Certificate of Occupancy on the office building.
Commissioner Teglia added that the Commission has been adamant that the units be built, especially because it
was part of the Conditions of Approval on the previous project and questioned if the materials had changed on
the exterior of the buildings. Mr. Myers noted that they had not changed since the previous meeting.
Commissioner Teglia noted that the banding proposed on the towers looked reflective on the video. Mr. Myers
noted that they had a limited amount of time to put the video together but the banding is translucent. Mr.
Duncan noted that the banding will be back lit by night and translucent by day.
Commissioner Teglia was unsure on the painting of the garage and the proposed screening materials. Mr.
Duncan noted that the material will have a relationship to the translucence of the buildings. Commissioner Teglia
questioned if there would be any glazing on the sides of the garage. Mr. Duncan pointed out that the screen
would be pulled away from the garage face and garage users would be able to see through it from the inside out.
He added that they did not want it to look like the other office buildings. Commissioner Teglia noted that he
wanted to see an example of the metal material for the parking garage.
Commissioner Romero noted that he was not enthused by the project and preferred the previously submitted
(2005) project. He felt that the site could accommodate a superior project and felt that this project does not fit
s:\M%v~.utes\~Cwalized MCv~utes\2oo~\oy-o~-o6 tzPC.doc page g of so
Planning Commission Meeting of September 7, 2006
on the site.
Commissioner Sim questioned how the performing arts center compares to the venue in Pacifica. Mr, Myers
noted that this will be a nice performing arts center and added that the lobby is large and of high quality.
Commissioner Giusti questioned if there wi11 be an onsite kitchen at the performing arts center. Mr. Myers pointed
out that there will be a small kitchen for setup but not for cooking. He pointed out that the restaurants in the
commercial portion of the project could cater for the functions in the project.
Commissioner Sim noted that he was keeping an open mind on the project but was not entirely convinced on the
phasing. He was unsure on the length of time that one building would stand alone as well as how one building
would look by itself. Mr. Myers noted that he plans to start the second building as soon as the Certificate of
Occupancy on the first building is issued.
Commissioner Prouty noted that he was uncomfortable with the placement of the second building, the type of
chairs that will be used and wanted to make sure that the parking is tucked into the hill a bit more. Mr. Myers
pointed out that the market called for two floor plans because the entire project would not have fit in one
building. He added that they tried to develop one small and one large tower to offset the view of two tall towers.
Commissioner Teglia suggested adding more curve to the buildings and asked that a requirement that the hotel
option needs to be aggressively marketed before the second building is constructed.
Chairperson Zemke pointed out that he liked the landscaping detail and recognized that there is a problem with
the phasing.

Commissioner Teglia questioned if there was a modification of the motion that would help Commissioner Sim in

can take another vote taking into consideration Commissioner Sim's comments, let the developer continue with
the Commission`s current vote to Council or continue the item to the next Planning Commission meeting.

Commissioner Sim was concerned with how much more of the garage will be seen as someone drives on US
during the first phase of the project.
Commissioner Romero noted that the vote had been taken. Chairperson Zemke questioned what the next step is
for the project. Assistant City Attorney Spoerl noted that this would go to the Council with a negative
recommendation and the Commission has the option of entertaining another motion, or continuing to a date
certain to allow for the applicant to respond to the concerns.
Mr. Myers pointed out that he would like to address some of the Commissioners comments and would prefer to
go forward to the City Council with a recommendation to approve than with a denial.
