CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE DESIGNATION OF SAN
BRUNO MOUNTAIN AND ASSOCIATED PROPERTIES
WITHIN THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO AS A
PRIORITY CONSERVATION AREA.
WHEREAS, in 2007 the association for Bay Area Governments (ABAG) in partnership
with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District (BAAQMD) formed the Focusing Our Vision or "FOCUS" program to
strengthen environmental protection and conservation of natural lands in the San Francisco Bay
Area; and
WHEREAS, the Priority Conservation Areas (PCAs) are areas of regional significance
that provide communities and inhabiting wildlife with essential natural resources in addition to
scenic, recreational, and ecological values for the area; and
WHEREAS, the FOCUS program currently designates seven PCAs in the County of San
Mateo County; and
WHEREAS, San Bruno Mountain stands as an open-space island surrounded by urban
development and its 3,200 acres of mountainous landscapes contain natural environments critical
to the ecosystems of wildlife and plants; and
WHEREAS, San Bruno Mountain is the repository for three endangered butterflies, rare
amphibians and snakes, and numerous local,regional, and national rare plants; and
WHEREAS, access to and across San Bruno Mountain is presently limited; and
WHEREAS, there is potential for expansion of trails and wildlife corridors connecting
San Bruno Mountain to San Francisco Bay, as well as to the Pacific Ocean, other parks,
greenways, and open areas from all sides of the Mountain; and
WHEREAS, designation of the proposed areas as a Priority Conservation Area would
serve to greatly enhance public access to San Bruno Mountain, Sign Hill Park and the San
Francisco Bay Trail by providing a corridor of open space and recreational connections that
would link directly to the City's Priority Development Areas and major transit stops, including
Bay Area Rapid Transit, Caltrain, SamTrans and the San Francisco Bay Ferry; and
WHEREAS, adoption of a PCA does not change the zoning, general plan, or other land
use designations of the geographic area encompassed by the PCA; and
WHEREAS, local jurisdictions retain full land use control over designated PCAs.
