Declaration No. 96-079, Specific Plan Amendment 96-079 of Oyster Point Marina Specific Plan
allowing shared use of public parking on parcel 5 for the abutting commercial office, hotels and

an of the Oyster Point Marina Specific Plan Land Use Diagram redesignating a portion of Parcel

Rezoning 096-079 of the Oyster Point Marina Specific Plan District Zoning Map redesignating a
portion of Parcel 5 from public park uses to commercial uses and reflecting the widening of
Oyster Point Boulevard and Marina Way on Parcel 2, on a 7.97 acre site located at Oyster Point
Boulevard and Marina Way, owned by City of South San Francisco, based on public testimony
and the materials submitted to the City of South San Francisco City Council which include, but
are not limited to:
1. The project with approval of the proposed Specific Plan and Zoning Amendments,
is consistent with the provisions of the City's General Plan which supports commercial
development, and specifically with the Land Use Element and the Oyster Point Marina
Specific Plan, which supports provision of additional office, hotel and restaurant
development in the community to meet on-going demand. The proposed development
intensity of Floor Area Ratio of 0.60 on a 7.97 acre site to be developed with office,
hotels and restaurants is well within the overall maximum Floor Area Ratio of 0.60
provided in the City' s General Plan and proposed for the site.
2. The reduction of minimum required side and rear setbacks are appropriate based
on the following:
a. The resulting project will be a well designed hotel and restaurant project
with usable on-site and off-site outdoor space and a amenities, meeting the general
intent of the proposed land use designation and zoning. Conditions of approval
are required to ensure that the project meets all other development standards and
requirements.
b. The proposed "project enhancements" including on-site
landscaping, re-landscaping of the adjacent public park and the extension of the
Bay Trial will benefit the surrounding neighborhood and overall community.
3. The 7.97 acre site is physically suited for the proposed office, hotel
and restaurant development.
4. The development will create a commercial environment of sustained desirability
and stability and will result in an intensity of land use similar to adjacent commercial and
recreational developments and the Floor Area Ratio of 0.60 and the general style and
quality of the new buildings and site improvements is substantially similar to recently
approved commercial developments in the City.
5. Use of twenty-four public parking spaces on Parcel 5 by the new office, hotel and
restaurants on Parcels 1 and 2 will not adversely affect the supply of public parking at the
Oyster Point Marina. The twenty-two parking spaces, which represent less than 10% of
the total parking available at the Oyster Point Marina, will be available for public use
during the week day. All twenty-four spaces are likely to be available on weekends and
most holidays since the existing office uses on the abutting Parcel 2 observe normal
business hours.
6. A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project in accordance
with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Mitigated
Negative Declaration No. 96-079 identifies several potential adverse impacts attributable
to the development of new office, hotels and restaurants. The impacts can be reduced to a
less than significant level through the implementation of mitigation measures. A
mitigation monitoring program is established to ensure that impacts are reduced to a less
than significant level. Mitigation measures including a mitigation monitoring have been
incorporated into the project or made conditions of approval which will reduce identified
impacts to a less than significant level. Mitigation measures appearing in the Conditions
of Approval have been reworded for brevity and clarity. The revisions do not diminish
the scope or intent of the mitigation measures.
The subdivision of the site allowing the development of 8,000, square feet of new
office area, 6000 square feet of new conference area, 19 new hotel rooms, and
9,000 square feet of restaurant and reducing the public park area by 0.47 acres will
not adverse to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the community, nor
unreasonably detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements. The use is
compatible with the existing uses. Site improvements including the provision of
upgrades to the public infrastructure, and landscaping of each lot and the bayfront
will reduce potential adverse impacts to the public infrastructure, circulation
conflicts and provide a streetscape that is comparable to the surrounding
developments.
The development and landscaping comply with the City's Design Guidelines and
the Bay Trail extension and landscaping will comply with the design standards
and requirements of the Bay Conservation and Development Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby approves the
Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 96-079, SPA 96-079, ZA 96-079 and RZ 96-079, subject to
the Conditions of Approval contained in Exhibit B.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the resolution shall become effective immediately
