ORDINANCE NO. 1282-2001
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITIJE 20, CHAPTER 20.30 OF SOUTH SAN
FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE, M-1 INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT USE
REGULATIONS TO REQUIRE A USE PERMIT FOR AII~ USES WHICH
GENERATE IN EXCESS OF 100 AVERAGE DAILY VEHICLE TRIPS AND
FOR "TRANSPORTATION SERVICES" USE TYPES, IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 20.87
The City Council of the City of South San Francisco does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the General Plan states that traffic congestion and lack of adequate parking
and loading facilities within the Lindenville Planning Area (where the M-1 Zone District is
principally located) have resulted in land use conflicts; and,
WHEREAS, the General Plan includes policies 3.2-1-7 through 3.2-1-11 directed at
addressing parking, loading and streetscape issues within the Lindenville Planning Area; and,
WHEREAS, the General Plan also includes policies 3.2-1-12 through 3.2-1-15 to support
improvements to the transportation system within the Lindenville Planning Area; and,
WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance does not currently limit or condition traffic generation
in the M-1 Zone District; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that approval of uses which generate more than 100
average daily vehicle trips would not be consistent with the goals and policies of the General
Plan unless they were to include reasonable conditions designed to mitigate the effects of the
proposed use on traffic flow within the M-1 Zone District and surrounding neighborhoods; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the "Transportation Services" use type similarly
has the likelihood to generate significant levels of traffic and would be inconsistent with the
expressed goals and policies of the General Plan unless approval of such use was to include
reasonable conditions designed to mitigate negative effects of the proposed use of the
surrounding area; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments have been determined to be Categorically Exempt
under the "General Rule" [CEQA Section 15061 (b) (3)] that CEQA applies only to projects that
have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. The proposed amendments
are process-oriented, requiring additional levels of review (use permit) for future projects.
Consequently, there is no possibility that the proposed amendments could have a significant
effect on the environment; and,
WHEREAS the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendments
on November 16, 2000, for the purpose of reviewing and considering all public testimony on the
proposed amendments; and,
and,
WHEREAS, proper notice of said hearing was given in all respects as required by law;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed M- 1
Industrial District Use Regulations ordinance; and,
WHEREAS, on December 13, 2000, the City Council of the City of South San Francisco
held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed ordinance.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of South San Francisco does ordain as
follows:
SECTION 2. Title 20, Chapter 20.30, related to M-1 Industrial District Use Regulations,
is hereby amended by deleting the use type "Transportation Services" from Subsection
20.30.020(b) "Permitted Uses -- Commercial Use Types" and adding said use type to Subsection
20.30.030(c) "Uses permitted subject to a use permit -- Commercial Use Types."
SECTION 3. Title 20, Chapter 20.30, related to M-1 Industrial District Use Regulations,
is hereby amended by adding Subsection (i) to Section 20.30.40 as set forth below:
"20.30.040(i)
A use permit shall be required for any non-residential user which by its use generates one
hundred or more vehicle trips per day. The number of vehicle trips shall be determined
according to the standard ADT (average daily trips) per one thousand gross square feet for the
proposed use; the method shall be that as established in the edition of the Institute of
Transportation Engineer's Trip Generation which is current at the time of the application for the
use permit."

voting for or against it, in the San Mateo Times, a newspaper of general circulation in the City of
