COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Director of Community DevelopmentDell'Angela
stated that the subject Use Permit
had been presented to the Planning
Commission for consideration in
October. He said that at that time
there had been issues of concern raised
regarding the possible affects of
odor from the adjacent Sewage Treatment
Plant on the future employees and the
effects on the bay from the proposed
filling related to the project. The
Planning Commission had deferred
action on the Use Permit at that time
and required that a Focused Environmental
Impact Report be prepared addressing
these issues. He said that an appeal
had been filed by Trux, Inc. on October
27, 1981 and that the hearing had been
scheduled for December 2, 1981. However,
Trux, Inc. had requested a continuance
in order to resolve the environmental
issues raised by the Planning Commission.
On December 2, 1981, Staff received a
report from Mechanial Planning, Inc.
addressing the odor problem, proposing
the installation of a certain air
filtration system which could be installed
in;the project and would mitigate the odor
problems from the Treatment Plant. He
said that Trux, Inc. had asked that
Staff forward to Council an alternate
plan, which changes the project from 2
buildings to a 1 building project, this
would require the relocation of a 40 foot
City easement located through the
center of the property. He commented
on the size, location and general
description of the land.
Mayor Nicolopulos declared the
Public Hearing open and invited
those wishing to speak in favor
of the appeal to step to the dais.
Robert Simms, Trux, Inc., 341Allerton
Avenue commented on the Focused
Environmental Impact Report requested
by the Planning Commission and indicated

He spoke of the time element in-
volved in the preparation of the
EIR and the amount of time which
had been invested in the project
to the present date and indicated
the economic effect on the company.
He explained the service the company
provided to the airlines, and said
that basically they connected the
airlines with their shippers, and
that it was essential that the com-
pany be located near the airport.
He commented on the negot~atio~sJ.~
with the City during the consideration
of trading the present property for
City property near the Airport. He
stated that this proposal was not
feasible because it would cost an
additional $250,000. He explained
the positive elements that would
benefit the City if he was permitted
to build: employment, tax revenue,
maximize the utilization of land which
is presently undeveloped and that the
use proposed for the property is con-
sistent with the use of the neighboring
properties. He stated that if Trux
was not able to build on the proposed
site, there was a possibility that they
would be forced to leave South San
Francisco and indicated the possibility
of going out of business.
Robert M. Desky, Attorney at Law, 7 West
4th Avenue, San Mateo, representing
Trux, Inc., stated that the basic issue
involved the odor problem as seen by the
City and by the developer. He then
introduced Mr. Hurley, Odor Consultant.
Mr. Hurley, 461 Cypress Court, Odor
Consultant, explained the process which
was being proposed by Trux, Inc. in
order to remove the odors from the area
caused by the Treatment Plant.
Mr. Desky, explained that the system
which was proposed for use in filtering
the odors from the proposed offices has
been in use in many other locations and
has proven to be quite effective. He

Hearing closed.
City Manager Birkelo presented to
Council two conditions which Council
could consider if they felt that
a reasonable case had been presented
by Trux, Inc., that odors could be
reasonably controlled.
Discussion followed concerning the
odor problem and its overall affect
on the other aspects of the development.
Also discussed was the concern of legal
problems resulting from complaints in-
volving odor; the possibility of Trux
suing the City in the future.
An in-depth discussion followed in-
volving the aspect of the affect of
the odor on the employees over a
long period of time; the degree of
complaints that could be expected
to be received from this project
with respect to odor, with the use
of the filtration system; the possi-
bility of condemning the land if the
appeal is turned down.

as the result of the County of San

to approve Ordinance No. 881-81 of the

November of odd-numbered years, Council
must consider the course of action
they wish to pursue. He explained
the three major options available:
1) To take no action, to discard the
idea of consolidating the General
Municipal Elections; this action would
allow for the calling of the General
Municipal Election in April of 1982 and
to repeal Ordinance 881-81 and reinstate
Chapter 2.16 of the Municipal Code
which relates to terms of Councilmembers;
2) To file an action for Writ of Mandate
to compel the Board of Supervisors to
approve Ordinance No. 881-81; 3) Go to
the people and ask the people to in
effect make the decision that this con-
solidation should take place and that

rehabilitation program and upgrading of
the area, etc. He stated that there

1981. He explained that the DMV had
indicated that their computers would only
be able to handle even amounts. He
