AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 20.61 (SHEARWATER SPECIFIC PLAN
ZONE DISTRICT) OF THE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL CODE TO
DELETE THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Subsection (e) of Section 20.61.030 is hereby amended to read:
Section 20.61.030 General Definitions
(e) "Project" means that development included in the Shearwater Project
Application submitted on July 16, 1985, but modified to delete the Residential
Component.
SECTION 2.
Section 20.61.040 is hereby amended to read:
Section 20.61.040 Project Description and Intent
(a) The Shearwater project involves the comprehensive redevelopment of
a disused heavy industrial site to a commercial/cultural/recreational complex.
The site comprises approximately fifty-four acres of dry land and one hundred
thirty-three acres of water-covered land.
(b) The project proposes to retain and enhance the existing inlet as
the focus of a whole complex. A marina is proposed for five hundred
thirty-six berths. Grouped around the inlet will be a 750-room hotel, a
1,700-seat convention center, a performing-arts theater, three office build-
ings, and shops, restaurants, and cinemas. Located away from the inlet will
be two low-rise office building and two large parking garages. This mixture
of uses is intended to foster a full-time "destination" serving as a focal
point of public activity with many opportunities for enjoying the waterfront
or gaining access to the Bay, all within a high-intensity, urban setting, as
a contrast to other Bayshore developments of a low-intensity suburban
character.
(c) The whole of the project will be architect-designed in conformity
with the specific plan herein which integrates the different parts and uses
of the site. The design philosophy is to create buildings of bold, interest-
ing three-dimensional forms which complement each other and their surround-
ings. Building facades will minimize blank solid walls by the use of
terraces, balconies, and other features. Finishes will be generally of a
light charcter with some brightly colored accents to reinforce the lively
intensity of activity intended for this "destination." Landscaping will be
of an "urban" character around the inlet, changing progressively to a "soft"
character away from the water. There will be considerable provision for
public seating, outdoor sculptures/fountains/planting and trees throughout
the project.
(d) The Land Use Element of the South San Francisco General Plan, as
adopted on June 17, 1984, designates the land within the Shearwater Specific
Plan Use District for planned commercial mixed-use development. The regulated
uses contained in this Specific Plan are consistent with the General Plan
provisions.
SECTION 3. Section 20.61.060 is hereby amended to read:
Section 20.61.060 Use Definitions
(The definition for Multi-Family Residential is deleted)
