LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING
CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO/SAN MATEO COUNTY
INTENT
The following statements are intended to guide the planning process for
the unincorporated area of San Mateo County known as the South Slope of San
Bruno Mountain. The two governmental jurisdictions most affected by this plan-
ning are the City of South San Francisco, hereinafter referred to as the City,
and. San Mateo County, hereinafter referred to as the County. As a method of
clarifying the procedural steps in the planning process, these statements are
provided for review and approval by'both the City Council and the San Nateo
County Board of Supervisors. The planning is envisaged as a cooperative ven-
ture among the two jurisdictions and the developers of the area. As the plan-
ning progresses, revisions to this Letter of Understanding may be desired and
~¢an be made by mutual approval of both jurisdictions -- the South San Francisco
City Council and the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.
BACKGROUND
The General Plan Amendment for'San Bruno Mountain was adopted by the San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors on April 20, 1976. The planning work done
as part of this General Plan Amendment provides valuable data, but these data
and l~he resulting plan will need to be evaluated from the perspective of present
day conditions.
On June 8, 1977, the San Mateo County Local Agency Formation Commission
allocated the South Slope area to the sphere of-influence of the City of South
San Francisco. Both the City and County General Plans require the adoption of'
a Specific Plan prior to any development taking place on the South Slope. The
City and County now wish to proceed expeditiously and cooperatively with this
planning of the South Slope. The cooperative planning work will result in. a
· "Specific Plan" for adoption by both the City and the County and "pre-zoning"
for the area adopted by the City. (Enabling legislation for the Specific Plan
and for Pre-Zoning is contained in the California Government Code).
PROCEDURAL STEPS
1. The applicant shall reimburse the City and County for a cash amount to cover
documented staff costs of the County and City for services described below.
2. The County shall be the lead agency and the City shall be responsible agency
for purposes of CEQA.
3. Staffs of the City and the County Planning Department shall cooperate to
.the fullest extent possible during all phases of the planning process. The
lead staff person for the City shall be the Community Development Director;
the County, the Planning Director.
·
~":' At-~the onset, staffs from the City and County shall meet to discuss alter-
native development concepts for the South Slope and reach a consensus on
development concerns. Staff shall prepare a preliminary work program and
schedule for completion of the planning work.
5. Staffs from City and County and the developers with their representatives,
shall meet to review and reach consensus on {a) development concepts and
(b) work program and schedule. The work program will define roles and re-
sponsibilities of the City and County staffs and the developers.
6. The preferred development concept(s) resulting from Step 5 above, shall pro-
vide the basis for the developers to prepare a draft Concept Plan. Meet-
ings will be held between the developers and City and County Staffs to keep
abreast of progress, discuss issues and refine the draft Concept Plan as it
evolves. The developers shall not meet with either jurisdiction without
representation from both jurisdictions in attendance.
7. Joint meetings by the City Planning Commission and the County Planning
Commission and ~by the City Council and Board of Supervisors, shall be
conducted in the City to receive public comments on the Concept Plan.
The views pres'ented shall be considered by the developer in refining
the Concept Plan into a draft Specific Plan.
8. The Specific Plan may be as detailed as desired by the developers, but
in any event, it shall meet the "Scope of Specific Plans" as described
in Section 65451 of the California Government Code. Environmental eval-
uation requirements shall have been completed as a part of the preparation
of the Specific Plan. An Environmental Impact Report shall be prepared
and include a thorough analysis on the economic impact which said project
will have on the City.
9. When the Specific Plan is ready for public hearings, the City Planning
Commission and the County Planning Commission shall conduct joint hearings
in South San Francisco to receive public' comments. City and County Staffs
shall make recommendations to their respective Planning Commissions on
the Specific Plan being presented. The City and County Planning Commissions
