NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED that based on the entirety of the record before it, which includes without limitation,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 General Plan and General Plan Program EIR;the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan and the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan EIR; the South San Francisco Municipal Code;the Project applications; the Project Plans, as prepared by TCA Architects,dated December 7, 2015; the Environmental Consistency Analysis, as prepared by City staff, dated February 10, 2016 including all appendices thereto; all site plans, and all reports, minutes, and public testimony submitted as part of the Planning Commission's duly noticed January 21, 2016 meeting; all reports, minutes, and public testimony submitted as part of the City Council's duly noticed February 10,2016 meeting and any other evidence(within the meaning of Public Resources Code§21080(e)and§21082.2),the City Council of the City of South San Francisco hereby finds as follows: SECTION 1 FINDINGS A. General Findings 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct. 2. The Exhibits attached to this Resolution, including the Conditions of Project Approval(Exhibit A),and the Vacant Ford Properties Entitlement Submittal Project Plans(Exhibit B) and all final Land Use Entitlements documents are each incorporated by reference and made a part of this Resolution, as if set forth fully herein. 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 Planning Manager, Sailesh Mehra. 4. Based upon the testimony and information presented at the hearing and upon review and consideration of the environmental documentation provided, including but not limited to the Environmental Consistency Analysis, as prepared by City staff, dated February 10, 2016, the City Council, exercising its independent judgment and analysis, finds that the Project is consistent with the analysis presented in the certified Downtown Station Area Specific Plan Program EIR,and that the Project 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 Downtown Station Area Specific Plan Program EIR certified by City Council nor would new mitigation be required for the Project. This is supported by the fact that, consistent with the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan EIR Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the project prepared Toxic Air Contaminants (TAC) and Green House Gas (GHG) Emissions Assessment, a Historic Resources Analysis, an Updated Historic Evaluation, and a Traffic and Circulation Analysis, all of which determined that the Project would not result in any new impacts not adequately evaluated and addressed by the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan Program EIR. B. Conditional Use Permit Findings 1. The proposed Project, as modified by the Land Use Entitlements,is allowed within the Downtown Transit Core and Grand Ave Core Zoning Districts and is consistent with the standards and requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance and with the provisions of the Downtown Transit Core and Grand Avenue Core Zoning Districts and all other titles of the SSFMC. The Project meets or exceeds all of the general development standards of the Downtown Transit Core and Grand Avenue Core Districts,with the exception of the increased density,FAR bonus,and modification to the height and private storage standards. However,the increased density and FAR is permissible and warranted by the City's Zoning Ordinance subject to the provision of sufficient public benefits included as part of the development project. Approval of a modification to the private storage standards and height allowance is discussed in sections E and F, respectively, and allowable through a waiver and modification request. 2. The proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan and the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan by creating a high-density residential environment that emphasizes pedestrian- activity with buildings built up to the property line and providing a well-articulated and visually engaging development that implements the goals of the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan,and is consistent with the City's Design Guidelines as they relate to building design,form and articulation. 3. The proposed residential use will not be adverse to the public health, safety, or general welfare of the community, nor detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements, because the proposed use is consistent with the approved uses in both the General Plan and Downtown Station Area Specific Plan. The Project proposes high-density residential uses located in the City's Downtown Station Area Specific Plan District,which is intended for this type of use,and the largest buildings in the proposed development would be located entirely on their own blocks with little or no impacts on shared property lines. The General Plan has analyzed this type of use and concluded that such residential uses are not adverse to the public health, safety, or welfare. As the proposed Project is consistent with other residential land uses in the Downtown Transit Core and Grand Avenue Core Zoning Districts, approval of the Project will not be detrimental to nearby properties. 4. The proposed Project complies with applicable design and development standards and requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance,with the exception of the increased density and FAR request that is evaluated under the Conditional Use Permit, and the modifications to the private storage and height standards that are evaluated under the Waiver and Modification process. The stated density and FAR exceptions are permissible and warranted by the City's Zoning Ordinance subject to the provision of sufficient public benefits included as part of the development project. The proposed Project is located in the Downtown Transit Core and the Grand Avenue Core Zoning Districts and subject to the discussion on the exception and waiver requests below, meets the minimum standards and requirements for the zoning districts. 5. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed Project are compatible with the existing and reasonably foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity because the Project proposes residential uses in the Downtown Transit Core and Grand Avenue Core Zoning Districts, which are specifically intended for such uses. 6. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and density proposed, as the residential use will benefit from being located in close proximity to the South San Francisco Caltrain Station,Grand Avenue and the overall Downtown Station Area Specific Plan Area,and the size and development is appropriate for the location and meets the City's land use and zoning standards,as amended by the Conditional Use Permit or Waiver and Modification process. Access to the site via existing roadways is sufficient as the project is within a built-out urban environment, utilities are provided on-site or proposed for minor upgrades, and no physical constraints such as topography or lack of facilities exists that would prevent suitable development. 7. On January 28,2015,a program environmental impact report(EIR)was certified by the City Council of South San Francisco (Final Environmental Impact Report for the South San Francisco Downtown Station Area Specific Plan,State Clearinghouse#2013102001). The program EIR assessed the potential environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the DSASP. The DSASP established new land use,development,and urban design regulations for the area for a 20-year planning period. The DSASP Program EIR also established a Mitigation,Monitoring,and Reporting Program (MMRP) with mitigation measures for any project meeting certain thresholds. CEQA allows for limited environmental review of subsequent projects under a program EIR when an agency finds that a project would not create any new environmental effects beyond those previously analyzed under a program EIR and would not require any new mitigation measures. An Environmental Consistency Analysis has been prepared to consider whether any new environmental effects not identified in the DSASP Program EIR might be created by construction and operation of the Project. The analysis concluded that the proposed Project is in compliance with all applicable DSASP regulations, will comply with the DSASP Program EIR MMRP and would not create any additional environmental impacts in excess of those addressed by the DSASP program EIR and Statement of Overriding Considerations nor would new mitigation measures be required. 8. The proposal would result in a Project whose proposed public benefits and requested development incentives are suitable to the site as envisioned by the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan and relate appropriately to adjacent uses and structures. The provision of new pedestrian crossings,bicycle lane restriping, and landscaping will enhance the public realm and is consistent with Urban Design Strategy UD-16 and Guiding Principles 17 and 41. The provision of funds for public art will further enhance the Downtown area and is consistent with Urban Design Strategy UD- 48. Finally, the provision of additional residential units through the increased density will house more residents within the downtown to create a vibrant community for Downtown and is consistent with Land Use Strategies LU-4, LU-5, and LU-8. 9. The proposed Project would be consistent with the accepted list of public benefits outlined in Section 20.280.004(A) and such benefits would not otherwise result through provisions of the City's policies, ordinances, or other requirements. The proposed payment of the proposed Parks and Recreation in-lieu fee represents a substantial payment towards park and recreation investment; and the proposed public infrastructure enhancements are encouraged within the Pedestrian Priority Zone but not required, and the addition of public art will be a cultural contribution to the Downtown area that would not otherwise exist. 10. The proposed Project reflects a fair financial balance of costs and benefits to the applicant and the City. The monetary value of the community benefits to the City exceeds the anticipated financial gain to the Developer for the addition of 45 units above the base density . C. Design Review Findings 1. The Project, including Design Review, is consistent with Title 20 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code because the Project has been designed as a high-density residential project which will provide a pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented environment with sustainability elements incorporated. 2. The Project, including Design Review, is consistent with the General Plan because the proposed high-density residential development is consistent with the policies and design direction provided in the South San Francisco General Plan for the Downtown Transit Core and Grand Avenue Core land use designations by encouraging the development of new residential units within close proximity to the South San Francisco Caltrain Station and within the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan area. 3. The Project, including Design Review, is consistent with the applicable design guidelines adopted by the City Council in that the proposed Project is consistent with the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan Design Guidelines, as evaluated in the Zoning Ordinance Compliance analysis for the Project. 4. The Project is consistent with the proposed Use Permit, Waiver and Modification, and Parking Reduction for the reasons stated in Section C, D, E, and F respectively. 5. The Project is consistent with the applicable design review criteria in South San Francisco Municipal Code Section 20.480.006("Design Review Criteria")because the project has been evaluated by the Design Review Board on November 17,2015,and found to be consistent with each of the eight design review criteria included in the "Design Review Criteria" section of the Ordinance, and the Design Review Board. D. Waiver and Modification for Private Storage Requirement Findings 1. The Waiver and Modification request to reduce the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan District Private Storage requirement by 10%is necessary due to the physical characteristics of the proposed developments on Parcels A (401-421 Airport Boulevard) and D (309-315 Airport Boulevard)that are constrained by high traffic roads and therefore have limited parking circulation options within the proposed buildings' footprints. As a result,the provision of private storage areas would come at the expense of providing required parking for both parcels since the recently adopted Downtown Station Area Specific Plan District zoning requires a minimum depth of 4'-0"for each storage unit and cannot be located above a parking space due to the Americans with Disabilities Act. The proposed reduction would reduce the total number of private storage spaces from 272 to 245 units and to mitigate this reduction,staff has recommended a Condition of Approval requiring that if the proposed reduction to the Private Storage requirement results in unfavorable conditions related to storage on balconies,or within approved on-site parking spaces,the applicant shall provide off-site storage options to residents, with prior approval by the Chief Planner. 2. Due to the Project's tight floor plate design for the structured parking,there are no alternatives to the Waiver and Modification to reduce the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan District Private Storage requirement by 10%that could provide an equivalent level of benefit to the applicant with less potential detriment to surrounding owners and occupants or to the general public. Since this requirement relates to private storage,the impact to surrounding owners and occupants,as well as the general public,is minimal since few or no residents would contemplate storing valuable goods within the public right-of-way, and a Condition of Approval has been included to prevent storage on balconies or within on-site parking spaces. 3. The granting of the requested Waiver and Modification would not be detrimental to the health or safety of the public or the occupants of the property given the minor Private Storage requirement reduction of 10%and the proposed Condition of Approval to require off-site storage if unfavorable conditions arise within the development. The reduction in on-site private storage will allow for additional on-site parking spaces and preserve the public right-of-way for surrounding residents. E. Waiver and Modification for Height in the Grand Avenue Core Zoning District Findings 1. The Waiver and Modification request to allow a 10%increase in the overall height limit of 65'-0"within the Grand Avenue Core would result in a maximum height of 72'-0" for the portion of the Parcel D building located on 309 Airport Boulevard. This Waiver and Modification request is necessary due to the physical characteristics of the property and the proposed design of the residential building; the heights of the two levels of structured parking at the ground and 2nd level have been reduced as much as possible,and set below grade as much as possible without disrupting both the existing water table, and a large quantity of soil, which contains high levels of lead and makes further excavation difficult and cost-prohibitive. 2. The Waiver and Modification request to allow a 10%increase in the overall height limit of 65'-0"within the Grand Avenue Core is the only option that ensures the building design can be constructed. While the applicant could reduce the height of the proposed Parcel D building on the portion of property zoned Grand Avenue Core, this would reduce the overall number of units provided and result in a reduced project benefit to the City and developer. The applicant could also propose a Zoning and General Plan Amendment to adjust the boundaries of the Downtown Transit Core Zoning District,but this type of revision would require additional environmental analysis and is not likely to be supported by the City. Therefore, using the Waiver and Modification request provides the developer with the only reasonable option for design of the project. Because of the isolated location of the Project away from sensitive residential uses and adjacent to Airport Boulevard to the east and a parking lot to the west,the important gateway location to the Downtown, and the relatively small footprint of the 309 Airport Boulevard parcel(7,600 SF),the modification to allow a height increase of 7'-0"represents a small adjustment that preserves a high-quality project and there are no alternatives to the Waiver and Modification request that would provide an equivalent level of benefit to the applicant with less potential detriment to surrounding owners and occupants or to the general public. All other portions of the project are consistent with the zoning height requirements. 3. The granting of the requested Waiver and Modification would not be detrimental to the health or safety of the public or the occupants of the property or result in a change in land use or density that would be inconsistent with other zoning requirements given that the Project use is permitted, the density is permitted through the Downtown Station Area Specific Plan District regulations, and the height increase of 7'-0" will have minimal or no impact on the rest of the development,which meets all zoning height requirements. Instead,this Waiver and Modification request preserves proposed residential units that will benefit the Downtown area and such height increase should not result in shadow impacts on surrounding properties, given the block configuration and project design. F. Parking Reduction Findings 1. Although the Project requests a 25%reduction in overall required parking spaces,this reduction would account for the 21%of proposed parking spaces that would be tandem or compact spaces and not consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. A total of 337 parking spaces are required and the applicant has proposed 342 parking spaces; however, 73 spaces would be compact or tandem. With the proposed Conditions of Approval to require parking signage and manage the parking assignment for tenants,the Project will provide sufficient on-site parking. Additionally,the Caltrain commuter station and SamTrans bus routes,along with a proposed bicycle share program,represent alternative travel modes that will support residents without vehicles and encourage visitors to the Project to take alternative modes of transportation; thus, there is sufficient parking within the site and the surrounding District to accommodate the proposed use. Further, as the Project is conveniently located to transit and there is sufficient parking on-site,the parking demand generated by the Project will not exceed the capacity of or have a detrimental impact on the supply of on-street parking in the surrounding area. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco hereby makes the findings contained in this Resolution,and approves the Use Permit(UP15-0027), Design Review(DR15-0032), Waiver and Modification(WM15-0001), and Parking Reduction (PE15-0004) contained in the Land Use Entitlements, subject to the draft Conditions of Approval, attached as Exhibit A.
