Chapter 20.64 prescribes development review procedures and

purpose of the regulations contained in this chapter is to
implement policies contained in the Land Use Element of the South
San Francisco General Plan, particularly policies prescribed by
the Civic Use land use category. The Civic Use development
standards pertain only to properties and facilities which are
owned and operated by the City of South San Francisco.
20.64.020 Development Review Procedures
The City Council shall act on either a use permit pursuant
to Chapter 20.81 of this title or a planned unit development
permit pursuant to Chapter 20.84, before establishing a Civic Use
and/or authorizing the construction of, or the major modification
of, any Civic Use facility. The City Council may delegate the
authority to act on the permit to the Planning Commission or may
request a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
20.64.030 Development Standards
Uses, buildings and structures shall comply with all of the
provisions of Title 20, unless full compliance is not reasonably
feasible. Compliance with development standards may be waived in
whole or in part as part of the consideration of a proposed
project, subject to the review and approval by the City Council,
where the following findings can be made:
(a) The site is physically suitable for the type and
intensity of the land use being proposed.
(b) Exceptions from the general development standards of
the Municipal Code shall be warranted as follows and such
findings for an exception shall be supported by citing the
grounds for this determination:
(1) The development is of a superior quality which
offsets any adverse impact of the requested exception from
general development standards; or,
(2) The exception will result in a project of superior
design or otherwise be of general benefit to the community and
neighborhood; or
(3) The additional findings of Section 20.84.070(a)
are made for projects requesting a reduction in required parking
or loading spaces.
(c) The proposed project complies with the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
(d) The proposed project is consistent with all the
provisions of the City's General Plan.
(e) The proposed development will not be unreasonably

community, nor unreasonably detrimental to the surrounding
properties or improvements.
(f) The proposed development generally complies with
adopted design guidelines.
