CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO,STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING OPPOSITION
TO EPA TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND
RELATED MATTERS
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
South San Francisco that the Council does hereby express
opposition to the EPA Transportation Plan for the following
reasons:
A. The City of South San Francisco operates and
maintains municipal parking spaces, funded through an assess-
ment district, bonds for which are paid by parking meter
receip~which total $48,000.00 per year to retire outstand-
ing bonds in annual payments and pay expenses of administer-
ing the district. The Transportation Plan surcharges and
other regulations will impose a financial hardship on the
district estimated to be $2.5 million by regulating the
reduction of parking spaces, imperil district revenues and
th.e capacity to fund the bond payments to meet the cost of
operating expenses.
B. The City of South San Francisco operates and
maintains employee parking spaces and the Transportation
Plan will adversely affect the economic interests of the City
and the taxpayers of the City by imposing a surcharge on said
spaces.
C. The City of South San Francisco administers a
zoning ordinance which requires adequate parking spaces
appurtenant to commercial and industrial developments, and
the Transportation Plan will adversely affect the welfare of
the City of South San Francisco by negating future application
of the zoning regulation of the City of South San Francisco
with respect to said appurtenant parking, and further by
surcharging existing parking spaces will adversely affect
said commercial and industrial sites to the economic detriment
of the City of South San Francisco.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of South San Francisco that the Council does hereby
recommend to the Environmental Protection Agency that
other regulatory means be sought to achieve the desired
goals, particularly the regulation of the vehicle, rather
than the Transportation Plan proposed which surcharges
parking spaces.
I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was
regularly introduced and adopted by the City Council of the
City of South San Francisco at an Adjourned Regular meeting
held on the ~0th day of December , 1973, by the
following vote:
