Goals and 'Policies The officially adopted~ goals and policies which will guide the preparation and implementation of the open space plan are as follows: A· The preservation and conservation of planned open space is essential to the orderly growth and de- velopmental .stability of South San Francisco and environs. The 'City, therefore, should adopt spe- cific and precise plans or alternate procedures which Will preserve recreational or general open- space uses. B · The City of South San Francisco should cooperate with 'the County of San Mateo and its several muni- cipalities, the Association of Bay Area Governments, the Bay Conservation and DeVelopment Commission, the State 'of California, and the Federal Government in a joint effort to promote the preservation of local and regional open space· Ce The City should encourage private interest to devote their lands and capital t© the cause of open-space conservation and preservation. D® The City should discourage the establishment of in- compatible uses in juxtaposition or adjacency to planned open spaces. E · Where essential open space is presently developed with residential, commercial, or industrial uses, the' City should consider the employment of fair and equitable remedial measures--such as land pur- chase, joint-use programs, or alternate procedures. F® Open space should be used for the relief of urban pressures, the health and welfare of the individual resident, and the citizenry-at-large, and the long- range preservation of local and regional ecology - 1 - · 1 Ii' ['~ll'i ' Ii[il ~' I!"' i:i'l ~ r'r '~' S.outh '.San, Francis.co. and landa adjacent .skOuld he.. the' site. of three .regional parks or' open-space areas, with 'the 'following being the preferred locations:~ (1) Along the shore line of San Francisco Bay, (2) San Bruno Mountain and (3) Lands of the California Golf Club. H· The City and regional parks should be augmented by numerous sub-neighborhood common greens, and park-like enclaves. They should be' augmented by a grand mall in the urban core. I · The Bay, and the cemeteries on the periphery of the City should provide invaluable open space to the entire County. Since South San Francisco is a multinuclear city, it should be characterized by a multinuclear system of parks. K. A large, multipurpose park shold be the focus of each community. he The cardinal criterio in the establishment of parks should be location--not size· M· The City of South San Francisco should use its port and marina to develop a nautical tradition· This tradition would provide the City with addi- tional stature and prestige. N· If the marina is to meet the nautical-recreational needs of South San Francisco and environs, and the port is to function as an important commercial facility, Bay-fill must be restricted unless it complies with the requirements of the Bay Conserva- tion and Development Commission. O· San Francisco Bay and its adjacent shoreline are valuable natural resources and must be conserved in a natural state. Filling of tidelands or any portion of the Bay must comply with the require- ments of the Bay Conservation and Development Com- mission. P. Tidelands in their natural state are essential to the preservation of Bay wildlife. Q · The long-range protection of the environmental quality of South San Francisco requires the City to promote the preservation of wildlife habitats, fisheries, mud flats, marsh grasses, and open water. This preservation is essential to both human and animal well-being. R· The City of South San Francisco should assist .the California Water Service Company, the San Mateo County Flood Control District and other agencies in their efforts to protect the ground-water re- charge lands in this municipality· Ground water is still an important source of local water· S · If open-space land and water are to be preserved and conserved, they must be protected from air and water pollution, as well as unreasonable de- velopmental incursions. - 2 - ProKram and Methods Preliminary Open Space and Conservation General Plan Elements were approved by the Planning Commission March 27, 1972, under Resolution No. 2121.
