CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AN ORDINANCE MAKING MODIFICATIONS TO THE
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO ZONING CODE RELATED TO
SIGNAGE CITYWIDE
WHEREAS, in July of 2010, the City Council for the City of South San Francisco
("City") adopted a comprehensive update to the City's zoning ordinance, which repealed the
then-existing Title 20 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code, and replaced it with an
entirely new Title 20 that, among other actions, established new zoning districts, revised and
reformatted many then-existing zoning provisions, eliminated inconsistent and outdated
provisions, and codified entirely new zoning provisions, including new land use regulations and
development standards ("Zoning Ordinance"); and,
WHEREAS, since adoption of the Zoning Ordinance in July 2010, the City has identified
areas of the Zoning Ordinance that require refinement, clarification, and/or correction, including
revisions to the City's Chapter 20.360 regulating signs in order to provide standards to allow
digital billboards and other minor modifications; and,
WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance was adopted after preparation, circulation,
consideration, and adoption of an Initial Study/Negative Declaration ("IS/ND") in accordance
with the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq.
("CEQA"), which IS/ND analyzed the environmental impacts of adopting the Zoning Ordinance
and concluded that adoption of the Zoning Ordinance could not have a significant effect on the
environment because none of the impacts required to be analyzed under CEQA would exceed
established thresholds of significance; and
WHEREAS, the refinements, clarifications, and/or corrections to the Zoning Ordinance
as they relate to signage are minor in nature, the adoption of which would not result in any new
significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of any previously
identified effects beyond those disclosed and analyzed in the IS/ND prepared and circulated for
the Zoning Ordinance, nor do the refinements, clarifications, and/or corrections constitute a
change in the project or change in circumstances that would require additional environmental
review.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that based on the entirety of the Record before
it, as described below, the City Council of the City of South San Francisco does hereby
ORDAIN as follows:
SECTION I. FINDINGS.
Based on the entirety of the record as described above, the City Council for the City of
South San Francisco hereby makes the following findings:
A. General Findings.
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this Ordinance.
2. The Record for these proceedings, and upon which this Ordinance is based,
includes without limitation, Federal and State law; the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. ("CEQA")) and the CEQA Guidelines (14 California
Code of Regulations § 15000, et seq.); the South San Francisco 1999 General Plan and General
Plan Environmental Impact Report, including the 2001 updates to the General Plan and 2001
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report; the South San Francisco Municipal Code; the
Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the 101 Terminal Court Clear
Channel Billboard Project and Related Zoning Amendment, including all written comments
received; all reports, minutes, and public testimony submitted as part of the Planning
Commission's duly noticed meeting on May 7, 2015; all reports, minutes, and public testimony
submitted as part of the City Council's duly noticed meeting on July 8, 2015 which was
continued to August 26, 2015; and any other evidence (within the meaning of Public Resources
Code §21080(e) and §21082.2).
3. The documents and other material constituting the record for these proceedings
are located at the Planning Division for the City of South San Francisco, 315 Maple Avenue,
South San Francisco, CA 94080, and in the custody of the Director of Economic and Community
Development, Alex Greenwood.
B. Zoning Amendment Findings
1. The proposed zoning amendments are consistent with the adopted General Plan
because they establish regulations that balance the need of different users for adequate
identification, communication and advertising with the objectives of protecting the public and
promoting a visually attractive community. By allowing the installation of digital billboards
subject to a relocation agreement and sign permit, the proposed zoning amendments will assist
the City in removing existing static billboards from unwanted locations and replacing with
digital signage that provide more timely messaging, strengthen and promote economic
development objectives and actively market South San Francisco. The proposed text
amendments related to the regulation of digital billboards will remain consistent with the City's
General Plan vision for community and economic development by promoting economic
development within the City, expanding the communication of community services, and
providing an additional source of revenue for the City. The proposed text amendments will not
impede achievement of any of the goals, policies, or land use designations established in the
General Plan is consistent with the General Plan, including the East of 101 Area Plan (as
proposed for amendment).
2. The proposed zoning amendments related to digital billboards would only affect
properties in non-residential districts west of and adjacent to U.S. Highway 101 and have been
designed to be appropriate for surrounding uses. The proposed standards would generally be
suitable in terms of architectural compatibility, consistency with area character, legibility,
readability, finish and visibility, and other considerations deemed relevant by the Planning
Commission and City Council because appropriate performance standards for digital billboards,
including operational limitations related to static messages, maximum lighting levels, a
requirement for a light sensing device that adjusts the sign brightness as ambient light conditions
change, and location limitations, have been included and would be applied to projects on a case-
by-case basis to minimize visual impacts. The suitability for the potential digital billboard sites
was analyzed in the environmental document prepared for the Project.
3. The proposed zoning amendments related to digital billboards would not result in
any change of zoning districts and therefore would not be detrimental to the use of land in any
adjacent zone.
SECTION II. AMENDMENTS.
The City Council hereby amends the following sections of the South San Francisco Municipal
Code to read as follows. Sections and subsections that are not amended by this Ordinance are
not included below, and shall remain in full force and effect.
A. Amend Section 20.360.002(A) to add digital billboards as a type of sign that may be
allowed via a relocation agreement, as follows:
A. Relocation Agreements.
1. The regulatory provisions of this chapter are designed to accomplish the
purposes set forth in Section 20.360.001 ("Purpose") with respect to all signs
reviewed and permitted pursuant to this chapter.
2. However, State law substantially limits the City's ability to eliminate signs
legally established prior to the adoption of this chapter, thereby frustrating the
accomplishment of the purposes set forth in Section 20.360.001 ("Purpose").
Therefore it is advantageous to utilize relocation agreements as authorized by
Business & Professions Code Section 5412 to accomplish the purposes of this
chapter with respect to such signs.
3. In order to facilitate the use of relocation agreements to accomplish the
purposes of this chapter, signs expressly permitted by relocation agreements
shall be exempt from design limitations under this chapter but shall be subject to
staff-level design review to ensure compliance with any provisions in the
relocation agreement as well as to ensure the best possible design consistent
therewith. Except as set forth in this section, signs authorized by relocation
agreements shall not be subject to any other design-related limitations not set
forth within the relocation agreement itself.
4. No relocation agreement may be approved unless the City Council determines
that it will accomplish the purposes of this chapter better than the status quo that
it replaces.
5. No relocation agreement may provide for the construction or expansion of a
sign in a Residential district or for automatic changeable copy in which copy
can be changed or altered by electric, electro-mechanical, electronic, or any
other artificial energy means, except as set forth in 20.360.002(A)(6).
6. A relocation agreement may provide for the installation of a Digital Billboard
provided that the City Council finds that all of the following are met:
a. The Digital Billboard is located in a non-residential district, adjacent to
U.S. Highway 101.
b. Installation of the Digital Billboard, containing up to two billboard faces,
will result in a reduction of at least two billboard faces in the City for
every digital billboard face installed.
c. Installation of the Digital Billboard will advance adopted policies
contained in the General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plan or Area
Plan.
d. The Digital Billboard is operated in accordance with the operating
standards set forth in Section 20.360.006(Q).
B. Amend Sections 20.360.004(A) through (H) as follows:

under Section 20.360.009, off-premises signs are prohibited. Messages placed on
transit benches or shelters sponsored or contracted by the transit agency pursuant to
contract and with its consent are exempted from this prohibition. Legally established
off-premise signs are subject to the nonconforming sign provisions of Section
20.360.011 ("Nonconforming Signs").
