Perma Roberta Cerri Teglia CALL TO ORDER: ROLL CALL: AGENDA (Cassette No. 1) PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: INVOCATION: AGENDA REVIEW REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER ORAL COMMUNICATIONS 2/22/95 Page 1 MINUIE~ City Council Municipal Services Building Community Room February 22, 1995 325 ACI!QN TAKEN 7:41 p.m. Mayor Yee presiding, Council Present: Council Absent: Drago, Fernekes, Penna, Teglia and Yee. None. The Pledge was recited. Seminarian Barry Thornton, All Souls Church, gave the invocation. AGENDA REVIEW City Manager Wilson related: Council received a modified contract on the Contour property which only renumbers paragraphs, does not change the language and does not need to be removed from the Consent Calendar; there is a request from the Ap- plicant to continue Item No. 7 and Council may want to treat it in the same fashion as was done at the last meeting. Mayor Yee stated he had a speaker card on the item and will allow the speaker to make his presentation. REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER City Manager Wilson stated he had nothing to re- port. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Victor Feudale stated he is President of the S.S.F. Historical Society which recently inherited the Marguerite Schwartz home at 519 Grand Ave- nue. He stated this sits on the corner of Spruce and Grand Avenue, was built in 1905, was used as a home and doctor's office and was converted to a hospital. He stated the Society wants to restore the building into a house museum open to the public. AGENDA AC!IQN TAKEN .-.ORAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMUNFFY FORUM 2/22/95 Page 2 326 ORAL COMMUNICATIONS He stated the Society made application for CDBG funds of $5,000.00, their prior request to the City can now be ignored for $5,000.00 and are looking for other grant monies for the restoration. He asked the Council to waive fees for any necessary permits needed, because this was just the beginning to start restoring it in a unique part of the City as a historic resource and the first home museum in S.S.F. Mayor Yee stated this was not on the Agenda, Council could not take action and asked Mr. Feudale to work it out with the City Manager. COMMUNITY FORUM Councilman Drago stated the Arbor Day program scheduled for Saturday, 314/95, has been cancelled because planting the trees can destroy a certain species of butterfly because the trees are not native to Sign Hill even though they were planted there twenty years ago. Director of Recreation, Parks & Community Devel- opment Nagel stated that only native plants survive and on the other areas we have another vegetation that is hostile and strangles the vegetation that the endangered species want to live on. He stated the Native Plant Society wants it in its original state - grasses that are natural to Sign Hill and nothing else, so they are watching the City closely, as well as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife. So, staff will meet with the agencies to see what can be planted that does not interfere with the habitat of the butterflies. He stated that the agencies do like the use of lupine which is low lying and grassy with some flowering buds. He stated that staff and the Beautification Committee are looking for alternative sites for the trees, but we do not have to remove the existing trees even though they would like to see them down. Commissioner Penna related: the Presidio was originally a barren landscape like Sign Hill; today it is a beautiful parkland with many trees. He won- dered if there is some sort of compromise, because when a tree is planted it is contributing to the oxy- gen level. Councilwoman Teglia read from "Economic Impact AGENDA ACTION TAKEN ,COMMUNITY FORUM 2/22/95 Page 3 327 COMMUNITY FORUM of Tourism on San Mateo CountyH which she said is a report by the San Mateo County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Mayor Yee stated he and Councilman Fernekes had met with the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber suggested the Council, City Manager, Assistant City Manager and Interim Director of Economic & Community Development met with their Board for a mixer to discuss mutual concerns. Councilwoman Teglia stated the Council is busy with other things. Recently the Council held a town hall meeting that the Chamber hosted and gave them an opportunity to come and discuss issues. She stated there were few people there other than Coun- cil, staff and the Chamber Board and Council hung around and chatted with them after the meeting. Councilman Fernekes stated that a mixer is a sort of social thing to talk one on one, he welcomes the idea and wants to start new ideas working. Councilwoman Teglia stated that is fine, but we met with them on an individual basis already. Maybe have a shirt sleeve session rather than over a cock- tail. Councilman Drago stated he was not warm to the idea. Councilman Penna stated the last town hall meeting was not a community meeting for neighborhoods and it appeared to him it was something for the Chamber to make things happen when there is no purpose. They make work for the purpose of show- ing they are doing something. He stated Council is pro business minded, but he did not know what the Chamber is saying. Councilwoman Teglia suggested having a roundtable conversation as a format to explore where they are taking the Chamber, then we might accomplish something. Councilman Penna felt it was more important to have joint meetings with Council's Boards and Com- missions, unless it is important, because we don't have the time unless it is important. AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 3£8 ,_COMMUNITY FORUM 2/22/95 Page 4 COMMUNITY FORUM Mayor Yee stated C/CAG is having a BART route tour of stations this Saturday morning and asked if the Council wanted to attend. Assistant City Manager Martel stated to date there have not been reservations made by C/CAG Boardmembers, however, there is much interest from a citizen coalition. She stated that Senior Planner Kalkin will make a presentation. Mayor Yee felt the presentation should stress the extension of Hickey Blvd. between Mission Road and Hillside Blvd. Councilwoman Teglia stated if the Boardmembers are not going to be present, then the presentation should be made at the next meeting. Councilman Penna felt the lack of interest is indica- tive of the ridership. He would like to see a Colma/Pacifica bullet train to Santa Cruz and the tying of Hickey to the BART right-of-way and it be funded by the County. Councilman Drago stated the Hickey Extension was planned before BART and that is all that should be presented to acquaint them with our needs. Mayor Yee stated that Mr. Jim Keegan sent a letter to him recommending an appointment to the Citizens Advisory Board, which has a vacancy. Councilwoman Teglia questioned if the individual lived in the S.S.F portion of the Trailer Court; the Board reports to BART and she does not know if it is still functioning; staff should find out from BART if the Board still functions. Councilman Fernekes stated he attended the BART meeting on Saturday and felt others should attend the next meeting on 3/4/95 and make comments. Discussion followed: Council concerns should be identified, i.e., two egresses and the severe impacts; a draft letter is being developed; Councilman Penna feels BART is not tying in with Samtrans, is creating more congestion and does not pro- vide service to the workers; two members of San Bruno's Council voiced opposition; comments may AGENDA ACTION TAKEN .-COMMUNITY FORUM CONSENT CALENDAR Motion to approve Minutes of the Regular Meeting of 1/11/95, Adjourned Regular Meeting of 1/18/95 Special Meeting of 1/18/95 and Special Meeting of 1/25/95. 2.

CONSENT CALENDAR ORDINANCE NO. 1159-95 MIS Teglia/Fernekes - To approve the Consent Calendar with the exception of Item No. 1. Carried by unanimous voice vote. Ms. Jan Pont, 111 Belmont Ave., noted that the minutes of the special meeting of 1/18/95 reflect that the extension could go beyond the August date for Terrabay, perhaps to October, and requested an explanation. Assistant City Manager Martel stated Ms. Pont was making reference to her comments on the tolling period that the Council agreed to extend to 8/12/95. At the time she made the comments the City Attor- ney was reviewing information from legal counsel representing Sunchase, which may, at a future date, request a further extension due to litigation. Ms. Pont questioned: did Sterling Pacific bring other information to that meeting; page 6 says staff is to bring documentation - where is that informa- tion. Assistant City Manager Martel stated Council did not take action on 1/18/95, they took action on 1/25/95 and had the documentation on the extension. MIS Teglia/Fernekes - To approve the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of 1111/95, Adjourned Regular Meeting of 1/18/95, Special Meeting o 1/18/95 and Special Meeting of 1/25/95.

FOR TRANSPORTATION OF OIL AND PROD- UCTS THEREOF PUBLIC HEARINGS Mr. Walt Brendler, 242 Shaw Rd., stated he was a property owner and he and the neighborhood got together to voice their concerns and more will be in attendance at the next meeting. He stated their concerns: contaminated soil from a faulty pipeline; the need for double containment to monitor leaks; he brought an article on double containment being state of the art; effect on their property values in the event of contamination; the condition of the soil should be known to everyone at this point; this is nothing more than a big tank farm going to the Airport; there must be a requirement for the moni- toring of leaks along the whole system; he did not want to be held responsible for negotiating their property area from a leak, because jet fuel is very easy to move in ground water and make it contami- nated and virtually impossible to clean up; etc. Mayor Yee suggested sending a copy of the staff report to the property owners on Shaw Road before the next meeting so they know what the Council has to deal with, rather than wait for the meeting to get information. He had spoken of double containment at the second meeting on this item and Santa Fe had given him some explanation why it was not needed. Discussion followed: this was not a significant condition; this item could be continued, there is not a time limit and there is concurrence from the Ap- plicant; staff was still waiting for information on standards from the Fire Marshal in writing; concern on liability and pollution; why haven't the other agencies expressed concern; can the Council ask for double containment; any sign of contamination must be reported to Air Quality for necessary testing of core samples on the entire property to indicate pollu- tion; after the license is approved Santa Fe has to produce a monitoring report to the County Health Dept. and then the County approves the monitor- ing; County standards are not known at this time; to deny the application due to a lack of information; Council will make a decision on 3/8/95 - one way or the other and will deny it if there is not enough information; how is it that a private business can use a public agency for the purpose of making a profit; by making themselves subject to State regulations, as a common carrier, they are granted the right for condemnation; as a pipeline they are a common carrier and the State law has granted 2/22/95 Page 7 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN 332 PUBLIC HEARINGS L Public Hearing - Continued. ECESS' KECALL TO ORDER: LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS 10. Motion to waive reading and introduce the ordinan~ce/ concerning tow vehicle services. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 6.64 OF THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE - TOW VEHICLE SERVICES REGULATED PUBLIC HEARINGS them the condemnation rights; why doesn't Shell Oil Co. have the condemnation powers; Shell has its own pipes but has indicated they are choosing to get out of that business and want to use Santa Fe; etc. Councilwoman Teglia related a letter from Trux, dated 2/21/95. She thought the matter had been worked out in Court and the City won the suit. She wanted to know why and who is responsible, be- cause that information was never given to Council. Mayor Yee stated it concerned a 20' and 40' ease- ment. Council won and wondered why this was not clear. Councilwoman Teglia stated the City went to Court, won and direction was given to the staff - someone has to be responsible and did not follow through. Mayor Yee stated it was probably the former City Manager. Council adjourned to a recess at 9:00 p.m. Mayor Yee recalled the meeting to order at 9:15 p.m., all Council was present. He stated that Item No. 10 will be heard next. LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS City Clerk Battaya read the title of the ordinance in its entirety. Police Chief Raffaelli explained: in 1990 the police became involved in a civil case involving a tow company; during the settling of the case numerous shortcomings in the ordinance were discovered and the public is not protected; the ordinance only ad- dressed the activity of tow companies on the police rotation list rather than all tow companies oper- ating in the city; the amended ordinance will apply to all tow companies operating a business in the City of S.S.F., whether they opt to be placed on the rotation list or not; etc. Discussion followed: Councilman Drago questioned how realistic the response time is - does that mean twenty minutes from the time they receive the call; out of all of the calls made in 1993, 87% of the 2/22/95 Page 8 EUBLIC HEARINGS Public Hearing - Continued, 2/22/95 Page 9 33, PUBLIC HEARINGS response times for police calls were within twenty minutes and on the other 13% either they did not respond or it was in excess of 30 minutes; when they did not respond on the call backs the police put the 20 minutes in the ordinance; when a call is placed the tow trucks should be able to tell the reasons why they cannot make it in 20 minutes and then the police can cancel the call rather than be tied up at the incident site for a longer period of time than is necessary; etc. Mr. Jeffrey Stich, Don & Jerry's, cited his concerns in the amended ordinance: we don't feel that wear- ing the badges is necessary and wanted them mount- ed in the vehicle; the drivers have to get up in the middle of the night to answer calls and if they don't pick up the right jacket they go off without a badge; the twenty minute response time is hard to do when going from one end of town to another because you run into traffic; abandoned vehicles, we start towing them at 9:00 a.m. and there are times where twenty minutes is not enough time to get across the town; some times it takes five minutes to get through to a driver, which again makes the twenty minutes diffi- cult; thirty minutes should be acceptable for nights and weekends when the drivers are on beepers; they don't agree with the fines; etc. Police Chief Raffaelli related: he did not have a problem with the first item, because the ordinance reads the badge must be visible in the vehicle; the twenty minutes was placed in the ordinance because 13% of the time they do not return the call or they exceed the time and the operator will be fined the $25.00; he can extend the time to thirty minutes provided they call in five minutes to confirm; he did not agree to doing away with the fee, because it establishes accountability; etc. Mr. Peter Koehler, 1375 Lowrie Ave., stated he spoke for three of the tow car operators who are against the badges and the twenty minute ETA. He stated on the fine - if the driver is there after twenty one minutes they are going to fine you, but it is ambiguous. He did not fee that 87% was that bad 24 hours a day, seven days a week and another 6% when they are really having a problem. He stated the City does not pay the garages if they are late. He questioned how the police can fine someone who AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS ?. Public Hearing - Continued. 2/22/95 Page 10 PUBLIC HEARINGS is performing a service for the City. He stated of the people who get their ears towed 60% do not get their vehicles picked up nor pay. You are stor- ing cars up to 25-30 days free and then you have to send them to a wrecking yard. He stated the ser- vice they do for the Highway Patrol is also free because of the Vehicle Code and the Code is much more stringent than the City wants. He did not feel it was fair to the three garages that have over forty years of combined service to the community. The only way the garages make money is if they tow cars. If there is a cancel they don't get money, so, how can you fine them. He was against wearing badges because no one can read them, yet they can read the name on the truck. He felt 87 % is a good percentage for a year. He and his attorney felt two sections of the ordinance were in direct conflict with each other, 6.64.100(c) and 6.64.120(b) on pricing, and State law preempts any City ordinance and that was something fought in the Court case. According to the Police Chief they prevailed but, according to the Vehicle Code, we prevailed and took it all the way up to the Appellant Court because the Supreme Court refused to hear the case. He stated what the police are trying to do is control the vehicle tow services in the City, yet, they have no control over Daly City and Colma with 10 com- panies that spend a lot of time in S.S.F. and also store their vehicles in S.S.F. He stated no one on the peninsula charges for response time and, if the police are looking for revenue, then look at release fees when people pickup their ears with a charge of $35.00-50.00 and be in line with other cities. He received the staff report Wednesday and wanted to provide their own staff report with their logs showing the ETAs and wanted the police log for the past 90 days for their written response. Police Chief Raffaelli responded: this is not a reve- nue enhancement issue for the City, but an account- ability issue on the badges and the fines to protect the citizenry; there have been two meetings with the tow company operators, Mr. Koehler was at the first meeting but did not make the second meeting AQ~NDA A~!!QN TAK~ 3~ PUBLIC HEARINGS I. Public Hearing - Continued. Public Hearing - ZA-94-87 Amendment to the Re- search and Development Overlay District Regulations and an amendment to the Genentech Research and Development Overlay District Regulations, RZ 94-89 an amendment of the Zoning Map from P-I to P- I/R&D and Approval of Negative Declaration No. 783 (Applicant Genentech, Inc.); Conduct Public Hearing ZA 94-87 and RZ 94-89; resolution approv- ing Negative Declaration No. 783; Motion to waive reading and introduce ordinance adding Chapter 20.39 to the Municipal Code; Motion to waive read- ing and introduce ordinance adding Chapter 20.40 tg~, the Municipal Code. 5/ g, 7 A RESOLUTION APPROVING ADOPTION OF THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION RELATED TO THE APPROVAL OF: (1) AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO ADDING CHAPTER PUBLIC HEARINGS where they responded to the tow company operators on all problems and the police did respond to the operators concerns; etc. Discussion followed: the City Attorney has re- viewed the legality of the ordinance; City Attorney did not see any internal conflicts in the ordinance; each tow truck operator in S.S.F. has to have a certain amount of spaces to store towed vehicles for $25.00 plus $25.00 a day; should the City store the impounded vehicles; yes, the City could, but there are some liability issues involved in taking revenue away from the tow car operators; a resolution will be on the next Council meeting for a fee change to the Master Fee Schedule for tow car operators; etc. Consensus of Council - To increase the five minutes to ten minutes to allow another firm to be called. City Attorney Mattas suggested the Council intro- duce the ordinance, get the operators suggestions and adopt the ordinance at the next meeting or, if there are substantive changes, there will be a new first reading. M/S Fernekes/Teglia - To waive reading and intro- duce the ordinance with two amendments. Carried by unanimous voice vote. City Clerk Battaya read the titles of the two ordi- nances in their entirety. Mayor Yee opened the Public Hearing. City Manager Wilson stated this project has been worked on for a number of years, it is not easy to digest the entire documentation and the Council may want to continue the item for that reason. Chief Planner Solomon related the staff report. Mr. Jim Panek, Genentech, related: that the work before Council will speak for itself; flexibility is needed in this demanding business; he read from the "R&D Overlay District" handout; both ordinances will give control to the City on what is coming forward on the campus; the design review will be 2/22/95 Page 11 _AGE__NRA ACI!Q_N IAK~N PUBLIC HEARINGS Public Hearing - Continued. 20.39, THE "RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT REGULATIONS," (2) AN AMENDMENT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO ADDING CHAPTER 20.40, THE "GENENTECH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT REGULATIONS" AND (3) AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO RECLASSI- FYING CERTAIN GENENTECH PROPERTIES FROM PLANNED INDUSTRIAL (P-I) TO PLANNED INDUSTRIAL/GENENTECH RE- SEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DIS- TRICT (P-I/GR&D) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO ADDING CHAPTER 20.39, THE "RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT REGULATIONS" TO THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO ADDING CHAPTER 20.40, THE "GENENTECH RESEARCH AND DEVELOP- MENT OVERLAY DISTRICT" TO THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE AND AP- PROVING (2) AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZON- ING MAP OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRAN- CISCO RECLASSIFYING CERTAIN GENENTECH PROPERTIES FROM PLANNED INDUSTRIAL (P- I) TO PLANNED INDUSTRIAL/RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (P-UR&D) PUBLIC HEARINGS streamlined; there is a minor use permit at the staff level and a provision for annual reporting. Mayor Yee closed the Public Hearing. M/S Teglia/Penna - to continue the item to the next meeting. Carried by unanimous voice vote. Discussion followed: Councilwoman Teglia encour- ages this type of firm in the City; she has a problem with item 4 in the R&D Overlay - why should this be done as a City, because there isn't a sales tax to speak of so why attract more of these businesses; Genentech currently has 1,900 employees, but they are not local residents; with the limited space the City has, can we afford more bio-tech companies; job multiplier is 2.3 and many are service and man- ufacturing; Councilwoman Teglia is interested in data on sales tax on job ratio and business to busi- ness; Genentech is not subject to sales tax other than buying materials for construction; cement would be coming from S.S.F. because we have three plants; Genentech is the second largest property tax payer; Mayor Yee stated the overlay district is to streamline the process by giving the Chief Planner authority on minor projects, maybe next year Coun- cil should stop and evaluate if it is being done right; Mayor Yee is concerned with some of the issues, such as the City Planner being able to issue small permits, how is the Oyster Point Formula being handled by the Chief Planner and what about the parking requirement; Chief Planner Solomon ex- plained the administrative approval; a new occu- pancy would have to comply with the master plan; Mayor Yee has lots of questions and wants the matter continued to the next meeting; Councilman Drago stated if we build barriers then we will be lowering discretionary levels and when the use changes they need to come back, so this is the op- portunity to do it on a major scale; Mayor Yee supports that contention and getting rid of design review but needs basic information before approving this; etc. M/S Teglia/Penna - To continue the item to the next meeting. 2122195 Page 12 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN PUBLIC HEARINGS t.

(Cassette No. 2) ITEMS FROM COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARINGS Carried by unanimous voice vote. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Assistant City Manager Mattel stated the original JPA establishing C/CAG provided that it would automatically terminate five years from its effective date unless renewed in writing by the County and at least eleven cities containing a majority of the popu- lation in San Mateo County. She stated the current JPA will expire in September, 1995 unless it is renewed and proceeded to describe the changes in the JPA. Discussion followed: there is a sunset clause; why should this City even belong; the City can refuse to pay fees; can pull out in a year from C/CAG; what are the three most important things C/CAG has done in the last five years; Councilwoman Teglia wants to see past agreements to see changes and one issue is enforcement - why is this necessary and how and why is it funded; have problems with public mem- bers that are not elected. Consensus of Council - To remove public members. Mayor Yee asked that Mary Vail and Ray Miller come to the next meeting to address Council on the issue. Councilman Drago stated the purpose was to do away with overlapping committees and this is be- coming a bureaucracy. He questioned why we should pay C/CAG for a BART consultant. Councilwoman Teglia suggested sending a letter to the other cities citing our concerns. ITEMS FROM COUNCIL Councilman Drago asked that the following items be agendized: 1) length of vacancies in buildings and compliance with Code; 2) develop standards for garages on lanes; and 3) private streets - whether to refuse or allow any more.
