Body
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On February 28, 2018, the City Council approved an entitlements request by Summerhill Homes (“Developer”) to construct a new six-story mixed-use building with a total of 172 residential units and approximately 10,900 square feet of retail at 988 El Camino Real.
The City of South San Francisco (“City”) is working extensively with the Developer to ensure that the Developer reaches the construction milestone as quickly as possible. The Developer has completed several building permit submittals and is anticipating approval of the building permit shortly. The approval of the final parcel map, improvement agreement, encroachment and maintenance agreement, and storm drain easement encroachment agreements are required for the Developer to obtain the building permit and begin vertical construction.
The City Engineer and the City’s technical reviewer, with concurrence of all affected City departments and divisions, have determined that the final parcel map for 988 El Camino Real, described in Exhibit A of the attached resolution, the on-site and off-site improvements, and all related documents and plans are in compliance with the Subdivision Map Act, the City’s Subdivision Ordinance, and all applicable tentative map conditions of approval for said development.
The final parcel map for 988 El Camino Real will merge the existing parcels into one (1) parcel to construct a mixed-use building, which includes one-hundred seventy-two (172) residential units and two (2) commercial units. All units will be served by public roads (El Camino Real and Chestnut Avenue), sewers, storm drains, and other private utilities.
Pursuant to South San Francisco Municipal Code Chapter 19.44.090, the Subdivider is required to execute a subdivision improvement agreement for all improvements to be constructed in the subdivision. The subdivision improvement agreement has been reviewed by the Engineering Division and City Attorney’s office. Additionally, the Engineering Division and City Attorney’s Office have reviewed the preliminary title report and the deed restrictions; both are acceptable and the final parcel map is ready for submission to the City Council. Lastly, the subdivider will provide the City with appropriate security for the faithful performance of the improvements contemplated in the improvement agreement.
The improvement agreement is an agreement between the Developer and the City which requires that the Developer construct the various public improvements (“Improvements”) adjacent to the subdivision. The Improvements are described in Exhibit B of the attached resolution, which consists of the civil improvement plans and cost estimate related to the public improvements the Developer will perform. The developer has placed a bond in the amount of 110% of the cost of the Improvements.
The encroachment and maintenance agreement is an agreement between the Developer and the City which allows the Developer to install certain improvements within the City Right-of-Way (“ROW”) and requires the Developer to maintain these certain improvements and all landscape along the frontage of the property. The limits of the encroachment and maintenance agreement are described in Exhibit C of the attached resolution.
The storm drain easement encroachment agreement is an agreement between the Developer and the City that provides indemnification regarding an existing box culvert within the property, and includes proposed improvements serving the development and memorializes an understanding between the City and the Developer regarding future repairs to the existing box culvert and surface improvements installed by the development. The location of storm drain easement encroachment agreement is described in Exhibit D of the attached resolution.
The construction, operation, and maintenance agreement (COM agreement) is an agreement between the Developer and the City that provides consent from City to allow the Developer to install and maintain enhancements and fitness equipment to the Centennial Trail at a location where City holds a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) permit over BART property. The location of the BART encroachment is described in Exhibit E of the attached resolution.
The stormwater treatment measures maintenance agreement is an agreement between the Developer and the City that requires the Developer to maintain and inspect the private stormwater treatment measures on the Development and report to the Water Quality Control Plant annually. The stormwater treatment measures and maintenance is described in Exhibit F of the attached resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.

It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the final parcel map for 988 El Camino Real, authorize the City Manager to execute the improvement agreement, encroachment and maintenance agreement, storm drain easement encroachment agreement, COM agreement, stormwater treatment measures maintenance agreement, and authorizing the recordation of the final parcel map, the improvement agreement and all related documents.
