and General Plan EIR, including all amendments and updates thereto; the South San Francisco
Municipal Code; all reports, minutes, and public testimony submitted as part of the City Council's duly
noticed November 13, 2019 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
I. General Findings
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this Resolution.
2. The Exhibits, including Tentative Parcel Map attached hereto as Exhibit A and the
Conditions of Approval attached as Exhibit B, are incorporated 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 Chief Planner, Sailesh Mehra.
4. The City Council finds that the one-year time extension of a Tentative Parcel Map is in
conformity with the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and Title 19 of the SSFMC as to
design, drainage, utilities, road improvements and offers of dedication or deed.
II. Chapter 19.48 Findings
1. The Tentative Parcel Map does not deviate from existing as -built and approved yet -to -
be -built conditions. Currently the South Tower is located on Parcel 1 that also includes
the structured parking garage, visitor parking, and Tower Place Drive. Parcel 2 contains
the North Tower (under construction) and the Amenity Building (in financing and design
stage). Access to, and maintenance of the infrastructure, roads, amenities, utilities, and
parking structure is currently (and would continue to be) allocated to both the North and
South Tower occupants and owners through the recorded Reciprocal Easement
Agreement (REA) and recorded Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (OCR's). The
current two -parcel map and REA was approved February 7, 2008. Approval of the 2017
parcel map would require an amendment to the existing REA and CCR's with City and
legal staff approval prior to filing the final Parcel Map.

2. The Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the analysis included in the certified 1982
Environmental Impact Report (EIR), 1998 Supplemental Environmental Impact Report
(SEIR), 1998/99 SEIR, 2005/6 SEIR, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(MMRP), and addenda prepared thereto in 2006, 2008, 2015 and 2017. A Statement of
Overriding Considerations for impacts related to air quality and transportation remain in
effect. Approval of this one-year time extension of the Tentative Parcel Map 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 EIR certified by
City Council, nor does the one-year time extension of the Tentative Parcel Map constitute a
change in the Project or change in circumstances that would require additional environmental
review. Therefore, no further CEQA action is required by the City Council at this time.
3. The one-year time extension of the Tentative Parcel Map would not alter the location,
use or maintenance of any activities, uses or improvements on the Genesis Campus. The
Tentative Parcel Map would not change any other aspects of the Project which is to
continue to be governed by the approved 2017 Specific and Precise plans and MMRP.
4. The one-year time extension of the Tentative Parcel Map would not result in health,
safety or welfare impacts to the occupants and visitors to the campus and the community
at large. The addition of parcel lines will increase safety on the site. The creation of new
parcel lines requires building and fire safety upgrades in areas where the new parcel line
does not meet the minimum building setback identified in the California Building Code.
Therefore, some areas will require Type 1-A building construction, increases to a two-
hour fire barrier, additional air in- and out -take, some exterior walls constructed to a two-
hour fire rating, two-hour walkway construction and additional density in fire
suppression systems.
5. The Tentative Parcel Map conforms to the Terrabay Mixed Use Development land use
designation, the Terrabay Specific Plan Zoning District zoning designation, the land use,
density, location, and intensity of use identified in the approved 2017 Final Terrabay
Specific Plan Phases II and III, and the approved 2017 Genesis Precise Plan. The
Genesis Campus site permits R&D, office, restaurants, wellness center, hotel retail, open
space and recreation land uses.
6. The Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the standards and requirements of the City's
Zoning Ordinance, Title 19 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code ("Subdivisions")
and with the requirements of the State Subdivision Map Act.
7. The Project site is physically suitable for the type of development and density proposed,
as the mixed-use campus in the Terrabay Specific Plan Phase III Area.
8. The design and improvements of the Tentative Parcel Map are not in conflict with any
existing public easements.
9. The property is located in a developed, urban setting, and is not subject to a Williamson

File Number: 19-891
Enactment Number: RES 155-2019
Act contract, on open space easement, a conservation easement, or an agricultural
conservation easement. The surrounding land uses and resulting parcels would not
support agricultural uses; the resulting parcels would result in mixed-use development
not incidental to commercial agricultural use of the land.
