This Plan consists of text (Sections 100 through 900), the Redevelopment Plan Map (Exhibit 7A~), a Legal Description of the Project Area (Exhibit "B"),. and the Proposed Public Improvements and Facilities Projects (Exhibit 'C'). This Plan was prepared by the South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency') pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law of the State of Calif.ornia (Health and Safety Code, Section 33000 et seq.; all statutory references hereinafter shall be to the Health and Safety Code unless otherwise designated), the California Constitution, and all applicable local c6des and'ordinances. The project area (the "Project Area") includes all properties within the Project boundary shown on the Redevelopment Plan Map and described in the Legal Description of the Project Area. The proposed redevelopment of the Project Area as described in this Plan conforms to the General Plan for the City of South San Francisco, as applied in accord with local codes and ordinances. This Redevelopment Plan is based upon the Preliminary Plan formulated and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Sodth San Francisco (the 'Planning Commission") on January 24, 1985. ' This Plan provides the Agency with powers, duties and obligations to implement and further the program generally formulated in this Plan for the redevelopment and revitalization of the Project Area. This Plan does not present a specific plan or establish priorities for specific projects for the redevelopment and revitalization of any particular area within the Project Area. Instead, this Plan presents a process and a basic framework within which specific development plans will be presented, priorities for specific projects will be established, and specific solutions will be proposed, and by which tools are provided to the Agency to fashion, develop, and proceed with such specific plans, projects, and solutions. In general, the goals and objectives of a redevelopment program in the Project Area are as follows: 1. The elimination and prevention of blight and deterioration and the redevelopment of the Project Area in accord with the General Plan, specific plans, the Redevelopment Plan and local codes and ordinances. 2. The elimination or amelioration of certain environmental deficiencies, including substandard vehicular circulation systems; disposal or handling of hazardous materials; inadequate water, sewer and storm drainage systems; and other similar public improvements, facilities and utilities deficiencies adversely afffecting the Project Area. 3. The achievement of an environment reflecting a high level of concern for architectural, open space, landscape, and urban design and land use principles appropriate for attainment of the objectives of this Redevelopment Plan. 4. The replanning, redesign and development of undeveloped/ vacant areas which are stagnant or improperly utilized. 5. The encouragement of investment by the private sector in the development and redevelopment of the Project Area 'by eliminating impediments to such development and redevelopment. 6.The creation and development of local job opportunities to replace the Project Area's defunct employment base. 7. The provision for increased sales, business' license, hotel occupancy and other fees, taxes and revenues to the City. 8. The establishment of a conference center to serve the needs of San Mateo County and surrounding areas. 9. The creation of increased cultural and recreation oppor- tunities for visitors as well as area residents, particu- . larly maximizing the potential offered by the waterfront. 10. The expansion of the community's supply of housing, including opportunities for low- and moderate-income " households. Redevelopment of the Project Area pursuant to this Plan and the above goals and objectives will attain the following purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law: (1) through' the installation of new or replace- ment of existing public improvements, facilities and utilities in areas which are currently inadequately served with regard to such improvements, facilities and utilities; (2) by the replanning, redesign and/or development of areas which are stagnant or improperly utilized, and which could not be accomplished by private enterprise acting alone without public participation and assist- ance; and (3) by protecting and promoting sound development and redevelopment of blighted areas and general welfare of the citizens of the City by remedying such injurious conditions through the employment of appropriate mean~. -2- II.

The funds for this purpose shall be held in a separate Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund until used. Any interest ~arned by such Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund shall accrue to the Fund. 3. [§324] New or Rehabilitated Dwelling Units Developed Within Project Area At least thirty' percent (30%) of all new or rehabilitated dwelling units developed within the Project Area by the Agency, if any, shall be for persons and families of iow or moderate income; and of such thirty percent, not less than fifty percent (50%) thereof shall be for very Iow income households. At least fifteen percent (15%) of all new or rehabilitated units developed within the Project Area by public or private entities or persons other than the Agency shall be for persons and families of low or moderate income; and of such fifteen percent, not less than forty percent (40%) thereof shall be for very. iow income households. The percentage requirements set forth in this Section shall apply in the aggregate to housing in the Project Area and not to each individual case of rehabilitation, devel- opment or construction of dwelling units. -11- If all or any portion of the P.oject Area is developed with low or moderate income housing units, the Agency shall require by contract or other appropriate means that such' housing be made available for rent or purchase to the persons and families of low or moderate income displaced by the project. Such persons and families shall be given pri. rity in renting or buying such housing; provided, however, failure to give such priority shall not affect the validity of title to real property. 4.

[§400] LAND USES AND DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS A. [~401] Redevelopment Plan'Map and Major Project Area Land Uses The Redevelopment Plan Map, attached hereto as .Exhibit "Aw, illus- trates the location of the Project boundary, identifies the major streets within the Project Area, and designates the major land uses authorized within the Project Area under the City's current General Plan. The. City will from time to time update and revise the General Plan. It is the intention of this Redevelopment Plan that the major and other land uses to be permitted within the Project Area shall be as provided within the City's General Plan, as it currently exists or as it may hereafter be upon amendment, and as implemented and applied by local codes and ordinances. B. [§402] Other Land Uses 1. [§403] Public Rights-of-Way Major public streets within the Project Area include Oyster Point Boulevard and Gateway Boulevard. Additional public streets, alleys and easements may be created ~'- in the Project Area as needed for proper use and/or development. Existing streets and alleys may be abandoned, closed or mod£fied as necessary for proper use and/or development. It is anticipated that Project development will entail vacation and/or realignment of certain.streets, alleys, freeway approaches and other rights-of-way. Any changes in the existing street .layout~ shall be in accord with the General Plan, the objectives of this Plan, and the City's design standards, shall be effectuated in the manner prescribed by state and local law, and Shall be guided by the following criteria: (1) A balancing of the needs of proposed and potential new d%velopment for adequate pedestrian and vehicular access, vehicular parking, and delivery loading docks with'similar needs of existing d%velopments proposed or potentially proposed to remain. Such balancing shall take into con- sideration the rights of existing owners and tenants under the participation and preferences rules adopted by the Agency for the Project, and aDy participation agreements executed thereunder; (2)The requirements imposed by such factors as topography, traffic safety and aesthetics; (3) The potential need to serve not only the Project Area and new or existing developments, but to also serve areas outside the Project by providing convenient, efficient vehicular access and movement; and -13- (4) The potential need or desire to accommodate the facilities and/or equipment of mass transportation modes. The public rights-of-way may be used for vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic, as well as for public improvements, public and private utilities, and activities typically found in public rights-of-way.
