GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GP- 86- 30
The Land Use, Circulation, and Transportation Elements of the
City's General Plan were revised and adopted in June, 1984.
Since that time, there have been four amendments made to these
elements to address specific concerns.
This General Plan Amendment is not a wholesale revision, but
merely an amendment to clarify certain aspects of the document,
to update some major sections, and to correct errors which have
become evident during the past two years. No changes are
proposed for the Land Use Diagram; only the text is amended.
This proposed amendment does not represent a change in policy or
direction.
The proposed changes which constitute the General Plan Amendment
are listed below. Words proposed to be eliminated are indicated
with strike-outs (example), new wording is indicated in bold
print and underlined (example). After the General Plan Amendment
is adopted, the policies will be re-numbered and all the changes
will be integrated into the General Plan Document.

The 1980's and Beyond
During the 1980's, South San Francisco will experience a dramatic
increase in new office, commercial and research and development
centers. These will include the Gateway Center, Oyster Point
Business Center, Sierra Point, and ~he-~e~me~-~S~-S~ee~Ame~ea~
B~e-s~e Sheazwater. Major new residential developments
expected to be constructed during the next ten years include ~4~
721 dwelling units on the South Slope of San Bruno Mountain, ~
~we~-~s the remaining ~hases in the Stonegate Ridge
Planned Community, ~89-a~e~a~-~we~m~-~es and in the St.

Thea~e-S~ee? During the ~988as next decade, it is projected
that more than 3.5 million square feet of commercial and office
building space, nearly 2.0 million square feet of building space
for research and development, distribution and high technology
uses and approximately 1500 additional dwelling units will be
constructed within the City.
Page 13, Policy 10 - changed as follows:
Policy l0
Uses in vacated and operating schools with
surplus space should be limited to
non-intensive, light traffic generating, and
predominately day-oriented uses. Specific
permitted uses should be established for
surplus school properties which are leased to
private, public or non-profit organizations.
Impacts of the change in use fro~ a school
facility to a facility used by ~rivate,
public, and/or non-profit organizations
should be assessed, as well as imDacts from
sDecific individual uses.

cc~Datible with the surroundin~ neighborhood.
Page 16, Policy 16 - Clarify as follows:
Undeveloped properties which are suitable for s~g~e-~am~y
s~Bd~w~s~e~ low densit¥ development often have unusual shapes,
limited street frontage and other physical constraints. In order
to encourage s~§~e-~am~y low density developments on such
sites, innovative designs, such as zero side line setbacks,
building clustering, and other planned development concepts
should be permitted.

Retail Commercial: Includes, but is not limited to retail sales,
services, offices, neighborhood and community shopping centers,
grocery stores, ~as~-~e~ full service restaurants, banks,
motels, w~h-~¥-%~e}-~r-~ess-~ms? and gasoline service
stations.
This category also encompasses neighborhood commercial areas
which provide space for retail sales, services and related
activities needed to serve a residential neighborhood. This
commercial land use is the most restrictive and least intensive
of the two commercial categories in the Plan. Appropriate types
of uses in this category are grocery stores, drug stores,
personal service establishments, and branch banks.
Planned Commercial: Includes, but is not limited to large,
commercial planned unit developments and mixed
commercial/residential uses, including office parks, hotels and
motels, w~h-~y-e~e-%~-e~-me~e-~eems?-~e~-~as~-~ee~ full
service restaurants, gasoline service stations, research and
development uses, and h~h-~se apartment or condominium

this district should not exceed thirty (30) dwelling units per
net acre of land.

Page 24, Signs - minor word changes for clarification:
Signs
There are many signs located throughout the community. Some
signs detract from the architectural design of a building and can
affect the overall appearance of the City.
Most wall signs and freestanding signs are subject to design
review approval by the City of South San Francisco. Certain
large signs and all off-site advertising signs are subject to
approval by the Planning Commission.
An excessive number of signs or unusually large signs which are
out of scale with a proposed use should be avoided. Colors of
signs should complement the architecture of the adjoining build-
ing and not adversely detract from uses in the surrounding area.
Excessive copy, the advertising of products, and unattractive
pictorial representation should be avoided. Banners, pennants,
excessive~y-~a~e window signs, certain roof signs and ee~a~
projecting signs should be d~s=eH~a~e~ prohibited.
Freestanding signs should be designed to b~e~d compliment or be
compatible with the overall architecture of the site.
~he-same-e~sT-ma~e~a~sT-a~-~ex~e-~-~he-ma~-s~e~ev
Monument signs are encouraged.
Comprehensive sign programs sh~ shall be e~eeu~a~e~ required
when there are ~h=ee two or more individual tenants located on
the same site.
Signs should be located so that they do not project into public
right-of-ways or into public easements. Individual illuminated
letters are preferable to canister signs since they are usually
more compatible with the exterior design of a building.
Many off-site advertising signs are located in the community,
particularly along Highway 101 and E1 Camino Real, In 1982,
there were approximately fourteen off-site advertising signs
along Highway 101 and approximately seven off-site advertising
signs along E1 Camino Real. These signs create a poor visual
image of the City, and often obstruct views and adversely affect
property values.
Page 25, Policy 36 - Clarify as follows:
Policy 36
e~-s~e-~e~e~eae~e~-s~ms Signs should be
reviewed as to size, height, materials,
colors, design, and number to prevent visual
clutter throughout the community.
Page 25, New Policy - Add a new City-wide policy to reflect the
limitations already expressed in Policy D-17 and to reflect
current City practice:
New Policy
To the extent legally practicable and to the
extent that it is fiscally feasible from the
City's viewpoint to do so, off-site
advertisin~ signs, signs in public riahts-of-
way, and siqns which advertise specific
products should not be permitted.

Page 25 - Add section regarding landscaping:
Landsco.~lna
Landscaping improves the imaae of the city and should not be
linu[ted to parks and street beautification. Landscaping should
be developed to enhance residential districts and the working
environment.
Landscaping can be used effectively to screen parking areas from
roadways and to provide a positive visual image. Landscaping can
effectively screen storaae areas, utility areas, and trash
containers from public view.
Landscaping used in the city should be suited to the specific
climate, should be drouaht and wind tolerant, and should be
installed with automatic irrigation systems.
Page 25 - Add two new policies to reflect current landscaping
policy:
New Policy
Landscaping shall include a minimum of 15
percent of the trees as box specimens.
New Policy
A minimum of 10 percent of each site shall be
landscaped.

affirmatively approve a measure permitting
legal gambling within South San Francisco.
Card rooms which presently exist in the
community should be phased out of existence.
Abse~ without the approval of the electors
set forth above, no new card rooms/gaming
clubs should be allowed in the community, nor
should the existing nonconforming card rooms
be allowed to expand in area or in the number
of tables operated or to relocate to another
area of the City.
Page 29, Industrial Uses - Clarify definitions of industrial uses
as follows: ~

Light Industrial
Planned Industrial
M-1
PCM
Light Industrial: Includes, but is not limited to light
industrial, distribution, manufacturing, wholesale and
warehousing uses, limited office uses, auto repair and painting,
cabinet and woodworking shops and machine shops, including
incidental retail sales and commercial service types of uses but
excluding ~u~k salvaqe yards. Limited o~en storaae facilities
maybe ~ermittedwhen properly screened fr~public view.
The uses in this classification tend to include a variety of
smaller and low employment businesses. The light industrial area
is proposed in the south central portion of the City in the
Lindenville area.
Planned Industrial: Includes, but is not limited to industrial
parks, light manufacturing, distribution, wholesale and warehouse
uses, limited and low-rise office uses, research and development
10
and including incidental retail sales and commercial service
types of uses but excluding auto repair, 9u~k salvage yards, and
meat processing, and open storaae facilities.
The Planned Industrial designation is intended to encompass a
broad range of large employment and intensive industrial uses.
The Planned Industrial designation is for the most part proposed
easterly of U.S. 101 in the Cabot-Utah area and adjacent to
Railroad and South Spruce Avenues. These areas have the
advantage of rail service and direct access to the freeway
system. These are also in close proximity to the San Francisco
International Airport.
Newer portions of the Cabot-Utah area have well designed building
and extensive landscaping. This design theme should be continued
as the remaining vacant land is developed and older portions of
the area are privately redeveloped.
P~ammed Industrial areas located adjacent to residential or
commercial areas sheu~d shall be required to provide buffer areas
including setbacks, walls or fences and landscaping to reduce
noise, traffic, visual and ~de~ other impacts on the adjoining
uses.
Page 29, Industrial Uses, Policy 48 - Clarify as follows:
INDUSTRIAL ISSUES AND POLICIES
Heavy Industrial Uses
Certain heavy industrial uses e~eem create unacceptable
environmental impacts and cause health, safety, traffic or land
use problems. New uses which produce flammable, toxic, odorous,
or otherwise dangerous and/or offensive by-products sheH~d shall
no longer be permitted in the City. Other industrial uses with
potential negative impacts may be ~ermitted if they are
restricted in their intensity and location and if the negative
environmental impacts are mitigated.
Policy 48
Additional ~ek-~e~m~maAs chemical
plants, meat processing plants, auto
salvage yards, above-ground flammable

The area contains the largest concentration of industrial
development in the entire City. Between 1976 and 1981 more than
2.3 million square feet of new industrial building space was
constructed in this planning area.
For the purpose of analysis, this study area has been divided
into northern and southern subareas.
Oyster Point/Grand (Northern Subarea)
This is primarily an industrial area with the Cabot, Cabot and
Forbes Industrial Park being the dominant land use. The City's
Gateway Redevelopment Project is a~se located in this area. This
project, which includes the former Bethlehem Steel and Edward's
Wire Rope properties, is planned to be developed as a major
office, commercial, and research park. "The Gateway" is planned
to contain 2.6 million square feet of office and research
building space and two major hotel. Major street and highway
improvements w~-Be-ee~s~e~e~-ee~eu~e~-w~th have been
undertaken with the construction of the first building phase of
the Gateway Project. These improvements include the construction
of the East Grand Avenue/Southern Pacific Railroad grade
separation project, new highway on and off ramps at Grand Avenue,
a 4-lane arterial street (Gateway Boulevard) through the Gateway
Project from East Grand Avenue to Oyster Point Boulevard, and
street widenings along both East Grand Avenue and Oyster Point
Boulevard adjacent to the Project.
