COMMENTS
NOTICE OF PREPARATION
OF A SUBSEQUENT EIR
FOR A PROPOSED UPDATE TO THE
OYSTER POINT SPECIFIC PLAN AND RELATED GENERAL
PLAN AND ZONING PROVISIONS
To: Agencies, Organizations, and Interested Parties
From: City of South San Francisco, Economic and Community Development Department
Subject: Notice of Preparation (NOP) of a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in Compliance with
Title 14, Sections 15082(a), 15103, and 15375 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). The City of South San
Francisco (City) is the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the proposed
project identified below. The City has prepared and certified an EIR for the Oyster Point Specific Plan (OPSP) and
related development, and will prepare a Subsequent EIR for the proposed project identified below:
Project Title: Oyster Point Specific Plan Update/General Plan Amendment and Details for Phases II, III, and IV.
The project location and a summary of the project description are included on the following page.
Previous and Current Environmental Review: The Oyster Point Specific Plan (“OBSP”) and Phase I Project EIR
(State Clearinghouse Number 2010022070, certified in 2011) addressed Phases II through IV of the OPSP on a
programmatic level. The current proposal revises proposed uses at Phases III and IV (OPSP Update) and adds
project-level detail for Phases II, III, and IV. To ensure that the proposed revisions are fully analyzed under CEQA,
a Subsequent EIR will be prepared for the proposed OPSP Update in compliance with Title 14, Section 15162 of
the CCR. An Initial Study has not been prepared. The Subsequent EIR will address all environmental topic areas
and identify the extent to which revisions are required to analysis and conclusions of the previous EIR.
The certified EIR for the OPSP and Phase I Project is available for review on the City’s website at weblink.ssf.net
(click on “Planning”, then “Environmental Reports”, and then “Oyster Point Specific Plan”) and at the City of
South San Francisco Planning Division, 315 Maple Avenue, South San Francisco, CA 94083.
Agency/Public Comments: The City requests your comments regarding the scope and content of the
environmental review to be conducted for the proposed project. Due to the time limits mandated by State law, your
response must be sent at the earliest possible date but not later than 30 days after receipt of this notice. The City
will accept written comments on this NOP between March 1, 2017 and March 30, 2017. Please send your
comments by email to [email protected] or by mail to: City of South San Francisco, Economic and
Community Development Department, 315 Maple Avenue, South San Francisco, CA 94083, Attention: Billy
Gross, Senior Planner.
Scoping Meeting: The Lead Agency will conduct a scoping meeting on Thursday, March 23, 2017, beginning at
1:00 PM, in the Annex Conference Room, 315 Maple Avenue, South San Francisco, California, at which agencies,
organizations, and the public will have an opportunity to submit verbal comment. Please note that verbal comments
are limited to three minutes per speaker.
EIR Process: Following the close of the NOP comment period, a Draft Subsequent EIR will be prepared that will
consider all environmental topic areas in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines and take into consideration NOP
comments. In accordance with Title 14, Section 15105(a) of the CCR, the Draft Subsequent EIR will be released
for public review and comment for the required 45-day review period. Following the close of the 45-day public
review period, the City will prepare a Final Subsequent EIR that will include responses to all subst antive comments
received on the Draft Subsequent EIR. The Draft Subsequent EIR and Final Subsequent EIR will be considered by
the Planning Commission and City Council in making the decision to certify the EIR and to approve or deny the
OPSP Update.

Area
Figure 1: OPSP Location
Phase II
Phases III & IV
Figure 2: Current Proposal for OPSP Phases II, III & IV
Project Location: The site of the OPSP is part of
the City’s “East of 101” planning area, bound by the
San Francisco Bay on the east and Highway 101 and
railway lines on the west. The OPSP encompasses
approximately 81 acres of land at the eastern end of
Oyster Point and Marina Boulevards in South San
Francisco. The currently proposed update would
affect approximately 32.6 acres of the 81-acre OPSP
area.
Project Description: The Project Sponsor, Oyster
Point Development, is proposing amendments to the
South San Francisco General Plan and the OPSP
(Chapter 20.230 of the South San Francisco Zoning
Ordinance) and related project-level entitlements
and development agreement to allow for the
development of office/Research and Development (R&D) and a new mixed-use community on Phases II, III, and
IV of the OPSP area. The programmatic OPSP originally envisioned a total of 1,750,000 square feet of office/R&D
across phases II, III, and IV.
The proposal for Phases III and IV would require modifications to the existing OPSP. The OPSP Update for Phases
III and IV consists of approximately 1,472,000 square
feet of mixed-use, including approximately 1,191
residential units and 22,000 square feet of flexible use
retail and/or amenity space. The maximum dwelling
unit density would be approximately 100 units/acre
across a total of 12.4 acres. The proposed uses for
Phase III and IV require amendments to the General
Plan and OPSP, and each phase will require a Precise
Plan (proposed to occur after approval of the OPSP
Update).
The proposal for Phase II is consistent with the existing
programmatic OPSP and includes 1,070,000 square feet
of office/R&D including approximately 28,000 square
feet of flexible-use retail/amenity space across 20.2
acres. Phase II will require a Precise Plan that outlines
the detailed design of the improvements (proposed to
occur after approval of the OPSP Update). Although
Phase II is not affected by the OPSP Update, project-
level aspects of the infrastructure and open space for
Phase II are included in the analysis to ensure
integrated planning for the entire area.
Phase I of the existing OPSP development, for which
the City approved a Precise Plan in 2011, is not
affected by the proposed modifications and is not
included within the OPSP Update.

Subject: RE: Oyster Point redevelopment
Billy
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments. BTW, Part of the Phase II development area is on the
landfill. Please be aware, that CCR Title 27 21190 Post closure land use, new projects or developments on
and or within 1000 feet of the waste is required to comply with the design requirements to mitigate Health and
Safety impacts (landfill gas). A few of the buildings on the Phase II development are on the landfill. See the
attached figure. I believe a clear established landfill permitted boundary would be beneficial to the
redevelopment to establish separate district parcel or parcels that will define the landfill particularly as it relates
to Phase II development plans.
