CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO,
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
ADOPT FINDINGS REGARDING SIGNIFICANT AND POTENTIAH.Y
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS, A STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS,
AND A MITIGATION MONITORING PLAN FOR PHASE II OF THE TERRABAY
DEVEI OPMENT
WHEREAS, Sunchase G.A. Califomia I, Inc. ("Applicant") proposes to modify its
approved entitlements and proceed with development of a residential project area ( Phase II) and
a commercial project area (Phase III) including: amendment of the Terrabay Specific Plan of
1996; approval of a Precise Plan for the Phase II Terrabay site; approval of vesting tentative and
final subdivision maps for the Phase II and lli sites; amendment of the Terrabay Specific Plan
District in the Zoning Ordinance; amendment of the Development Agreement originally
approved in 1988 and extended in 1996; approval of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions
(CC&Rs) for Phase II and III site components; design review for Phase lI; and grading permits
for the Phase II and 11I sites; and
WHEREAS, by letter, the Applicant asked the City to process Phase II prior to Phase lll;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council only considering recommending approval of the
entitlements relating to the Phase II of the Terrabay Project at this time, therefore these findings
on environmental impacts and mitigations only relate to Phase II Project ("Project").
Environmental findings on Phase Ill impacts and mitigations will be considered at the time the
entitlements for Phase Ill are considered.
WHEREAS, the City Council determined that a Supplemental Environmental Impact
Report (SEIR) was required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to evaluate
the proposed actions; and
WHEREAS, Phase II was reviewed in accordance with CEQA by the preparation and
review of the SEIR, which report (the "1998-1999 SEIR") was certified by the City Council on
February 17, 1999 (Resolution No. 19-99); and
WHEREAS, based on the SEIR and other information in the record, there are certain
significant and potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project which could be
mitigated to a level of insignificance, therefore mitigation findings are required pursuant to
CEQA {}21081 and CEQA Guidelines § 15091 upon Project approval (Exhibit A); and
WHEREAS, based on the SEIR and other information in the record, there are impacts of
the Project which are not environmentally significant and which require no findings or mitigation
upon Project approval (Exhibit A - Less Than Significant Impacts); and
CENTRALRECORDS
WHEREAS, the SEIR, as a supplement to the 1982 EIR and 1996 SEIR, did not
reanalyze impacts of the Project which were not significantly different from Project impacts
analyzed in the 1982 EIR and 1996 SEIR. No further analysis of these impacts was required
because the Project did not present any new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects in these areas (Public
Resources Code {}21166; CEQA Guidelines § 15163). Therefore, mitigation findings pursuant to
CEQA
§21081 and CEQA Guidelines §15091 are made for each of these impacts previously analyzed in
the 1982 EIR and 1996 SEIR, and not reanalyzed in the SEIR (Exhibit C); and
WHEREAS, based on the SEIR and other information in the record, there are significant
and potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project which could not be mitigated to
a level of insignificance, therefore the alternatives to the Project were examined to determine if
they would avoid any of the unmitigated significant impacts (Exhibit B); and
WHEREAS, based on the SEIR and other information in the record, there are significant
and potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project which could not be reduced to a
level of insignificance, therefore a Statement of Overriding Considerations is required upon
Project approval (Exhibit B); and
WHEREAS, CEQA §21081.6 requires that where mitigation findings are made for
significant and potentially significant environmental impacts, a mitigation monitoring program
shall be adopted upon Project approval to ensure compliance with the mitigations during Project
implementation (Exhibit D); and
WHEREAS, the location and custodian of the documents which constitute the record of
proceedings upon which the City's decision on Phase II entitlements relating to the SEIR is the
City of South San Francisco Planning Division, 400 Grand Avenue, South San Francisco; and
WHEREAS, the mitigation measures identified in the SEIR will be applied as conditions
of Project approval.
WHEREAS, on March 18, 1999, following a properly noticed public hearing, the
Planning Commission of the City of South San Francisco recommended that the City Council
adopt these findings regarding the Significant and Potentially Significant Impacts, a Statement of
Overriding Considerations and a Mitigation Monitoring Program for Phase II of the Terrabay
development.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of South San
Francisco hereby adopts the following relating to Phase II of the Terrabay Project only:

Exhibits A and C. Adopt the mitigation measures identified in Exhibits A and C
