Title
A resolution conditionally approving the proposed access easement on City of South San Francisco property APN 015-190-180 to be granted to Sanfo Group regarding future development of 101 Gull Drive, subject to Planning Commission approval of applicable entitlements, and authorizing the City Manager to execute an easement agreement in such circumstance.
body
WHEREAS, Sanfo Group (“Developer”) has proposed development of the empty lot located at 101 Gull Drive (APN 015-082-250) in the East of 101 Area (P21-0006) (“Project”); and
WHEREAS, the site has frontage along Gull Drive, but due to grading and existing landfill constraints, the most feasible location for driveway access to Gull Drive is through a City of South San Francisco (“City”) owned parcel (APN 015-190-180); and
WHEREAS, the Developer is required to obtain an Access Easement (“Easement”) through the City parcel in order for the future development’s driveway to access the public right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the Easement to be granted is described by plat and legal descriptions contained within the draft Access Easement Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code section 65402 requires that, as a precondition to any disposition of real property, the City’s planning agency must determine that the location, purpose and extent of the proposed disposition are in conformity with the City’s General Plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Planning Department’s review, it has been concluded that the location, purpose and extent of the proposed access easement for the developer’s future driveway is in conformity with the City’s General Plan and serves the purposes and goals outlined therein because (1) it fulfills the purpose of the project and underlying land use of the General Plan; (2) it provides the property with direct access to a public street; and (3) the amount of property being disposed of is necessary to construct the driveway as proposed; and
WHEREAS, as shown in the accompanying staff report and Easement Agreement in Exhibit A, the proposed easement is non-exclusive and would allow the construction of a driveway which enhances connectivity and streets improvements in the project area and larger neighborhood community, because there is no direct accessible route to Gull Drive for ingress and egress; it would serve a public purpose and it is in the public’s interest to have such enhanced access and increased transportation capacity; and
WHEREAS, the City Council’s approval of the Access Easement Agreement will be conditional upon the Developer obtaining Planning Commission approval of the applicable planning entitlements for the Project prior to the execution of the Access Easement Agreement.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco hereby finds all foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco hereby takes the following actions:
1. The proposed Access Easement on the City of South San Francisco property APN 015-190-180 for the development of 101 Gull Drive’s access to public right-of-way, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, is conditionally approved. Such approval is conditioned upon the South San Francisco Planning Commission approving all applicable entitlements for the 101 Gull Drive project (P21-0006) in accordance with applicable public notice and hearing procedures.
2. Should Planning Commission issue the foregoing described entitlements approvals, the City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the Access Easement Agreement in substantially the same form as Exhibit A with minor changes that do not increase the City’s obligation, and is also authorized to execute the necessary documents to effectuate the Access Easement, subject to review and approval as to form by the City Attorney, and take any other action necessary to accomplish the intent of this resolution.
