DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE The following is a description of the development opportunity for surplus City-owned property located on the northwest corner of Grand and Chestnut Avenues. A. General DescriDtion 1. The Site The site is vacant and contains approximately 5.311 acres and is located on the north side of Grand Avenue and the west side of Chestnut Avenue. 2. Purchase Price/Alternative Terms The minimum acceptable full cash bid is based on the appraised value of $1,180,000. The City will consider alternative proposals to receive full cash value if they help meet the goals, objectives and policies of the Housing Element of the South San Francisco General Plan, and include the following criteria: The purchasers are limited to first time home buyers. The maximum sales price of all units are affordable by moderate income households. Ail units will be restricted to owner- occupants only. If a Developer proposes to meet certain restrictions,including those listed above to ensure that the project is affordable to moderate income households, the City would consider the following provisions: as A density bonus of up to 25% of the normally allowed density may be granted. That could result in a maximum of 12-1/2 units per net acre or about 38-43 units. b® The City may consider selling the property for less than the appraised value through a "land subsidy lien" program similar to what was used for the Parkview Heights Project located in San Francisco. Under that type of program the value of each lot would be appraised and the difference between the appraised 2 value and the actual sales price would be secured by a junior lien on each unit and that amount guaranteed by a promissory note. The lien would not require monthly payment of principal or interest. Repayment of the lien would be required when the property is sold, refinanced or leased or a maximum of ten years whichever occurred first. Eventually the City would capture the full appraised value of the property plus interest. 3. Desire~Use The City desires that this site be developed entirely for a single-family residential development. 4. City Responsibility The City is selling the site in an "as-is" condition, and the City has no further obligation with respect to site preparation. 5. Developer Responsibilities Ail required on and off-site improvements including underground utilities, street lighting, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, drainage and traffic improvements shall be the sole responsibility of the developer. The Land Disposition Agreement will specify the developer's responsibilities in detail. The selected developer will be required to submit complete applications for a planned unit development permit, a tentative subdivision map and an environmental analysis within 90 days after selection. Development Goal and Objectives 1. Goal The City's goal is to promote the highest quality of residential development on this site. The site is particularly significant due to its size, prominent location in the neighborhood and its relationship to adjacent developments. The site, with an allowable density of 10 dwelling units per net acre is intended as a transition between high density development to the west and low and medium density to the east. 2. Objectives To meet or exceed the appraised property value. be To produce moderate cost housing units, which are affordable by first time homebuyer families. To be compatible with neighborhood needs and character of surrounding neighborhood. To utilize innovative design concepts and achieve consistency with the City's Planned Unit Development standards is achieved. e. To create a financially feasible project. Site Related Information Parcel description: The site is an irregular shape consisting of 5.3± acres located at the northwest corner of Grand Avenue and Chestnut Avenue. The site has 350 feet of frontage on Chestnut Avenue and 450 feet of frontage on Grand Avenue. Assessor's Parcel No. 011-262-390 General Plan Designation: Medium Density Residential (maximum of 10 units per acre) Existing Land Use: Vacant Zoning: R-2-G-P, Duplex Residential - 10 units per net acre - Planned Unit Development Permit process required. Minimum lot size is 4000 square feet unless smaller lot sizes are allowed through the PUD process. Adjacent Land Uses: North - Agricultural/Vacant/ Residential South - Medium Density Residential West - High Density Residential East - Low/Medium Density Residential Special Study Zone: No ALUC Area: 60-65 CNEL Zoning History: The property was zoned R-2-G-P on December 12, 1986. 4 Al~pl£cable Reaul&t£ons A Planned Unit Development Permit is required for a residential planned development under the provisions of South San Francisco Municipal Code Chapters 20.78 and 20.84. A tentative and final subdivision map will be required for any division of land creating 5 or more lots in accordance with Title 19 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code. An environmental analysis will have to be conducted to determine any environmental impacts of the project. As required by law, pursuant to an accepted development application, the City must notify residents within 300 feet of the affected site. In this way, residents will be made aware of impending development and have the opportunity to present support or opposition to a development proposal at a public hearing. It is highly recommended that input from neighborhood residents be incorporated into the earliest stages of planning for the site. The Planning Division will provide some names and phone numbers of neighbor- hood representatives upon request. Development Guidelines Prior to design concept development, the applicant or architect should obtain and become familiarized with the City's Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances and Design Review Guidelines. The Zoning Ordinance establishes minimum quantitative standards, the Subdivision Ordinance sets forth various public improvement standards and describes the format and processing of subdivision maps, while the Design Review Guidelines provide direction on the visual and functional aspects of proposed development. The guidelines which follow are not comprehensive but are provided to amplify major development parameters or suggest additional guidelines not included in the Zon-ing Ordinance or Design Review Guidelines. The guidelines represent a synthesis of the City's General Plan policies for Planning Area 5, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Design Review Guidelines as well as preliminary requirements of the City. Detailed conditions of approval will be finalized after a complete application has been submitted, 5 public hearings held and the necessary formal actions taken. The applicant/developer and architect should arrange to meet with the Planning Director prior to initiation of site planning to ensure under- standing of these guidelines and to discuss general approaches to matching the City's and developer's goals. Questions of interpretation of the guidelines should be directed to the Planning Director at 877-8535. a. Site Plannino Guidelines The following guidelines address only major site planning considerations - further specifications are provided in the Design Review Guidelines and in Chapter 20.85 of the Zoning Ordinance. Building Type - Single-family detached or semi-detached dwelling units on individual lots are preferred. If attached, they are recommended to be connected on one side only, preferably between two adjacent garages. A clustered development with common facilities may be considered acceptable if it improves the overall design and functioning of the project. Density - The Zoning Ordinance designation of R-2-G-P permits a maximum of ten (10) dwelling units per net acre of land area (exclusive of streets). This should result in about 32-35 units (assuming 3.6 acres of developable land, an average lot size of about 4500 square feet and about 1.7 acres of public street right-of-way.) Building Setbacks - Conventional setbacks for detached single-family dwellings include 15 foot frontyards (20 feet from garage doors to sidewalks), 5 foot sideyards and 20 foot rear yards. Lesser setbacks may be allowed under the planned unit development process if they result in more usable open space and create a more desirable land use pattern. Building Orientation - Site planning for building orientation should take into consideration favorable exposures to the south and southwest for passive solar gain, yet provide protection from strong cold winds from the west. 6 be Common Recreation Area - Where rear yards are minimized as part of the site planning concept, common recreational amenities shall be provided. Area designated for common recreational use should provide adequate open space, not exceeding 5% in slope and should be buffered from dwelling units to minimize objectionable noise. Recreational amenities may also include, but not limited to, meeting room (clubhouse), swimming pool with changing rooms and restrooms, tennis court or other court games. Streets - It is required that new access streets be public. Primary streets shall conform to City Standards for minor streets including 36' paved section and 10' parkway on each side for sidewalks and utilities (56' Row). Parking - A minimum of two parking spaces (one enclosed) are required for each single- family unit having less than five bedrooms and less than 2500 square feet of gross floor area; and three parking spaces (two enclosed) for each unit having five or more bedrooms or with a gross floor area of 2500 square feet or greater. Site Grading - Site development should take advantage of existing site topography and minimize extensive grading. Existing elevational variation across the site could result in views from higher density over lower density units along Grand Avenue and Chestnut Avenue. Site Access - Primary site access shall be from Grand Avenue with emergency secondary access from Chestnut Avenue. Public Works - In addition to the normal on and off-site public improvements, the following major public works improvements will be required. The widening of Chestnut Avenue approximately 20 feet to provide a right-turn lane on to Grand Avenue. The provision of the necessary sidewalks, paving, utilities, relocated traffic signal, fire hydrants, street lights and other de street improvements necessary to conform the perimeter streets and any new public streets to City standards. A contribution toward the improving or oversizing the sanitary trunk lines from the development site to Colma Creek. The amount will be determined by the City Engineer based on estimated sewer discharge from the project. A proportional payment toward an additional 42" storm drain located in Oak Avenue between Grand and Mission Road. Contact the Engineering Division at 877-8542 for more detailed information on public works improvements. Building, Fire and Police Recfuirements For specific requirements regarding the Uniform Building Code and related codes, Uniform Fire Code or the City's Minimum Security Standards Ordinance, contact the following offices: - Building Division - Uniform Building Code, 877-8545 - Fire Department - Uniform Fire Code, 877-8950 - Police Department - Security Ordinance, 877-8927 Landscape Guidelines The following guidelines address only site- specific landscape considerations - further specifications are provided in the Design Review Board Guidelines and in specifications provided by the City's Landscape Specialist who can be contacted at 877-8542. Landscape Buffers - Landscaping must be provided along Grand Avenue and Chestnut Avenue to buffer the development from the adjacent perimeter streets. Additional landscaping should be provided along site boundaries adjacent to existing development to the west and northeast to enhance privacy of both new and existing residences. Street Trees - A comprehensive street tree program shall be developed for the edge of the site along Grand Avenue and Chestnut Avenue as well as for internal streets and drives. Selected trees should be from the approved street tree list or comparable suited to envirorunental conditions of the site. Architectural Guidelines The following guidelines are intended to add to and amplify those stated in the Design Review Guidelines. Architectural Frontage on Public Streets - Dwelling units along Grand Avenue and Chestnut Avenue should present an elevation consistent with the surrounding neighborhood; garages shall be accessed from within the development. Garages should not be the dominant architectural element and shall not face directly onto any perimeter street. Architectural Theme - A straightforward, contemporary architectural expression employing simple masses and forms is encouraged. Materials and Colors - The dominant material to be employed in the architectural expression should be wood, or plaster/stucco to relate to the surrounding neighborhood; all sides of the dwelling unit and walls for patios, enclosures, etc., are to be exten- sions of the basic architecture in material and coloration. Dominant colors of non-wood surfaces should be light earth tones; variations in color may occur from unit to unit, cluster to cluster, etc., but strong harmonies must be maintained. Dwelling Unit Identity - Staggered unit plans and roof lines which emphasize separations from unit to unit are encouraged. Creation of a design format which permits individuali- zation of the entrance areas of each unit is also encouraged (i.e., physically separated for doors, landing areas for individualized landscape treatments, etc.) 9 Roof Planes - Ail roofs should be pitched, gabled, hipped, or shed-type in order to reflect the residential character of the existing neighborhood; flat roofs are permissible if the elements are not a major or predominant roof-form. The roof-scape should not appear as a homogeneous mass, but should be broken up with numerous elements of planes, ridges, loft structures, and tall elements juxtaposed with iow elements. In addition, all roof-mounted mechanical equipment other than solar panels shall be concealed within roof-elements that are extensions of the basic architecture in materials and coloration; fences or tack-on screens surrounding roof-mounted equipment are not acceptable. Dwelling Unit Orientation - Individual and clustered dwelling units should be oriented to maximize solar access for both the dwelling unit and exterior spaces; four to six hours of daily direct sunlight should be provided to the major activity areas of each unit.
