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).
