The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a public agency to adopt a monitoring and reporting program for assessing and ensuring compliance with any required mitigation measures applied to proposed development. As stated in section 21081.6(a)(1) of the Public Resources Code: …the public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. Section 21081.6 also provides general guidelines for implementing mitigation monitoring programs and indicates that specific reporting and/ or monitoring requirements, to be enforced during project implementation, shall be defined as part of adopting a mitigated negative declaration. The mitigation monitoring table lists those mitigation measures that may be included as conditions of approval for the project and the conditions of approval that will apply to the proposed project. To ensure that the mitigation measures are properly implemented, a monitoring program has been devised which identifies the timing and responsibility for monitoring each measure. The first column identifies mitigation measures that were identified in the EIR. The second column, entitled “Action Required,” refers to the monitoring action that must be taken to ensure implementation of the measure. The third column, entitled “Monitoring Timing,” refers to when the monitoring will occur to ensure that the action is complete. The fourth column, “Monitoring Responsibility,” refers to the agency responsible for oversight or ensuring that the mitigation measure is implemented. The fifth column, entitled “Compliance Verification,” is where the Responsible Agency verifies that the measures have been implemented.

The Gateway Property Owners Association is currently in the process of dedicating the Poletti Way right-of-way to the City and the dedication is expected to be completed by the end of 2020. The improvement will include curb ramps, curb and gutter, signage, markings, and other changes necessary to meet Caltrans and City of South San Francisco Class I bikeway standards. Specific improvements will include upgrades at vehicular crossings (such as driveways and minor streets) to provide 10-foot minimum wide barrier-free accessible ramps that permit direct, two-way bicycle and pedestrian travel. Adequate warning and regulatory signage and markings will be provided to alert road users of potential conflicts per the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD). Existing pavement conditions will be assessed and reconstructed if necessary, per City of South San Francisco standards. The project’s obligation to pay a fair share contribution toward this improvement is contingent upon the City (i) adopting a final Active South City Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan that includes the improvement, or City approval of a plan for improvements of equivalent design and purpose; (ii) acquiring any necessary right of way; and (iii) implementing a program that will require fair share contributions from other developments in the East of 101 City of South San Francisco  Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program  751 Gateway Boulevard Project 18 January 2021ICF 0662.19 area that will benefit from the improvement.  The project shall provide a fair share contribution toward the City’s cost of facilities and improvements identified below for the purposes of extending Class II bicycle lanes on Gateway Boulevard between East Grand Avenue and Oyster Point Boulevard, assuming 1,100 linear feet of frontage.
