ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS
1. Report regarding the Zoning Ordinance Update (Billy Gross, Principal Planner and Tony Rozzi,
Chief Planner)
Principal Planner Gross presented an overview of the Zoning Ordinance update. The general plan is
the long-term roadmap that the local government uses to determine how the community will grow.
According to California law, every city must establish a general plan that will serve as a roadmap
for future land use choices. The last extensive General Plan update for South San Francisco took
place in 1999, while the most recent thorough Zoning Ordinance update took place in 2010.
The General Plan Community Advisory Committee (GPCAC) was established by the City Council
in early 2019 to oversee the General Plan update process for South San Francisco. The consultant
company Raimi & Associates was also chosen to lead the,initiative. The update procedure entails
the creation of an extensive Environmental Impact Report, a full updating of the General Plan,
Climate Action Plan, and Zoning Code (EIR). Meetings with the public, GPCAC, Planning
Commission, and City Council have been held as part of the process thus far.
Beginning in March 2022, the Draft General Plan and Draft Climate Action Plan were made
available for public review. Study sessions and community involvement on both documents
continued through the end of May 2022.
The publishing of the Draft Zoning Ordinance is a crucial next step in this procedure. The General
Plan must be implemented in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, which establishes the land use
and development laws. The Zoning Ordinance defines the types of buildings or structures, their
permitted, conditionally permitted, or forbidden uses, as well as the desired character of the
community (size, height, configuration, and lot coverage).
The Draft EIR is projected to be made available for public study and discussion the week of June
13, 2022, with a public comment meeting anticipated to be set before the Planning Commission on
July 7, 2022. The General Plan adoption hearings are expected to take place in September or
October of 2022.
Councilmember Addiego requested clarification on the number of public hearings/meetings and
suggested increasing neighborhood meetings to ensure community concerns are heard. Principal
Planner Gross provided an overview of the current and recommended SB330 process.
City Manager Futrell provided an overview of the current SB330 process and noted the limitations
that the council may face under state law due to authority limitations. Mayor Nagales expressed
concern with the review process recommended by SB330 and reiterated his desire for the council to
be the final body for approval. He stressed the importance of building more childcare facilities
throughout the city for working families. Vice Mayor Nicolas supported the proposed changes and
noted the community's benefits.
Councilmember Flores requested clarification on community benefits priority and requested
clarification. Principal Planner Gross provided an overview of the community benefits and approval
processes. Councilmember Coleman thanked the staff for the presentation and expressed his
support.
Mayor Nagales requested that staff provide the council with additional information about the east of
101 housing development, including height limitations. Principal Planner Gross provided an
overview of the process, noting the development of the El Camino Real Corridor Plan. Chief
Planner Rozzi indicated that staff would provide additional information in the housing element
report, including Regional Housing Needs Allocation, for the council's consideration.
