public hearing on July 22, 2020.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that based on the entirety of the record before it, which includes without

and the CEQA Guidelines, 14 California Code of Regulations § 15000, et seq.; the California Subdivision
Map Act; the Tentative Parcel Map prepared by BKF Engineering; the South San Francisco General Plan
and General Plan EIR, including all amendments and updates thereto; the South San Francisco

noticed July 22, 2020 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 two-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 OCR'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
City of South San Francisco Page 2
File Number: 20-455
Enactment Number. RES 92-2020
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 two-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 two-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 two-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 two-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
Act contract, on open space easement, a conservation easement, or an agricultural
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.
