The following statements are intended to guide the .planning process for
the unincorporated area of San Mateo County known as the South Slope ~ San
Bruno Mountain. The two governmental jurisdictions most affected by l~is plan-
ning are the City of South San Francisco, hereinafter referred to. as ~ City,
and San Mateo County, hereinafter referred to as the County. As a mel~od of
clarifying the procedural steps in the planning process, these statememts are
provided for review:and approval by both the City Council and the San l~at. eo
County Board of Supervisors. The planning is envisaged as a cooperative ven-
ture among the two jurisdictions and the developers of the area. As l~e plan-
ning progresses, revisions to this Letter of Understanding may be desired and
can be made by mu'tual approval of both jurisdictions -- the South Sal~ ~ranc~sco
City Council and the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.
BACKGROUND '
The General Plan /~mendment for'San Bruno Mountain 'was adopted by ~he San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors on April 20, 1976. The planning ~.~ done
as part of this General Plan Amendment provides valuable data, but tt~mse data
and the resulting plan will need to be evaluated from the perspect~ve~f present
day conditions.
On June 8, 1977, the San Hateo County Local Agency Formation Co.~ss~on
allocated the South Slope area to the sphere of-influence of the Cityo~ South
San Francisco. Bo'~h the City and County General Plans require the a~ption of
a Specific Plan prior to any development taking place on the Sou~'n Slope. The
City and County now wish to proceed expeditiously and cooperatively ~ith this
planning of the South Slope. The cooperative planning ~./ork ~.:~I1 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 Governmen't Code).
