The East of 101 Area Plan policies identified as LU-10b, LU-10c and CON-7 are helreby amended to read as follows: No Floor krea ratio has been allocated to Open Space designated areas. Dry lands (inland of high tide line) located within Open Space designated areas and adjacent to an inland waterway may receive a iFloor Area allocation not to exceed the allowable FAR for the immediately adjacent land use designation, subject to approval of a discretionary permit and an environmental review analyzing ~any additional adverse impacts including traffic, sewage, and recreation impacts, as well as any impacts to sensitive resources. An appropriate floor area allocation for public recreation facilities shall be determined on a case by case basis after an environmental review. Subject to securing a discretionary permit, accessory parking from adjoining portions of a site may encroach into dry land areas designated Open Space provided that the resulting project incorporates adequate public open space and recreation opportunities consistent with the Open Space land use designation, is compatible with Bay Conservation and Development Commission's policies and regulations, and is protective of sensitive biologic resources. Provide adequate buffer areas between known sensitive resources and new development. In land areas not adjacent to inland waterways, there shall be a buffer area of at least 100 feet between known sensitive resources and development areas (other than accessory parking). Buffer areas adjacent to inland waterways should be a minimum 100 feet unless otherwise approved by the permitting body based on a site specific biologic resource evaluation performed by a qualified biologist and consistent with federal and State laws. Accessory parking from adjacent development areas may be permitted to encroach into the 100 foot buffer area if warranted based on biologic resource evaluation requirements as noted above. 2. The South San Francisco General Plan, at page 15, is hereby amended to included a Civic Use designation with the text to read as follows: "CIVIC LAND USE: Includes sites with or to be improved with facilities which are owned or operated by the City of South San Francisco. Typical uses include offices, water pollution control plants, sewage and storm drainage pumping stations, corporation yards and facilities, libraries, police stations, and fire stations. Open storage facilities may be permitted when fully screened from public view and when occupying less than thirty (30) percent of the site area. DESIGN: Civic buildings and facilities provide unique and important functions and services. The site design and architecture should reflect the special importance assigned to government buildings and facilities. Sites, structures and buildings should be physically suitable for the type and intensity of the land use being proposed. Projects are required to be consistent with all the provisions of the City's adopted General Plan. Developments are required to comply with adopted design guidelines. The City's development standards should be utilized when the site and budget permits these standards to be achieved. When standards cannot or should not be achieved, the City should justify why the standards cannot be achieved. The established development standards may not always be essential nor appropriate to the design and use of City owned sites and facilities. Exceptions from established development standards should be allowed where the change will result in a project of superior design or otherwise be of greater benefit to the community and adjacent neigb_borhoods, and where the exception will not be unreasonably detrimental to the health, safety, welfare, comfort, or convenience of the persons working or residing in the vicinity of the property. Critical public facilities should not be located in hazardous areas because these facilities provide vital basic services without which the community cannot adequately function especially during emergencies such as flooding and earthquakes. Because some facilities and/or sites are already located in hazardous areas the City should takes steps to reduce hazard threat especially from flooding, fire and building collapse during an earthquake. Expansion of facilities in hazardous locations is allowed 'where risk to life can be reduced to an acceptable level. GOAL: Support the provision and maintenance of adequate sites and public facilities owned and operated by the City to meet the existing needs and projected population and employment including offices, water pollution control plants, sewage and storm drainage pumping stations, corporation yards and facilities, libraries, police stations, and fire stations. POLICIES (1) FISCAL EVALUATION AND PRIORITIES: Ail policies herein which seek to establish levels of service provided by the City or address the construction of City buildings and facilities, shall be guiding principles only and shall be subject to governing fiscal policies and priorities established by the City Council in the budget. (2) LOCATION OF CRITICAL FACILITIES: Avoid locating critical facilities, suchi as fire, police, emergency facilities in areas subject to slope failure, flooding, and other hazards where feasible." 3. The South San Francisco Land Use Map is hereby amended as shown on Exhibit A hereto. 4. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the amendments approved herein shall take effect 30 days after adoption of the resolution. I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was regularly introduced and adopted by the City Council of the City of South San Francisco at a regular meeting held on the 26th day of June , 1996 by the following vote; AYES: Coun¢ilmembers Eugene R.
