O. Consider Approval of 2026 Halloween Road Closures
Assistant to the City Manager Cheung reported that with Halloween falling on a Saturday this year the demand for Police officers to respond to calls increases. Staff is recommending that the footprint of the closure area be made slightly smaller, with San Bruno remaining open. The closure area would thus be scaled back to only include the side streets between Visitacion and San Bruno – Mariposa, Monterey, Mendocino, and Klamath.

After council questions, Sarah Mills, Michele Salmonand Jessica Aloft commented on the proposal.

July 16, 2026

P. Consider Adoption of Resolution submitting to the electors in the November 3, 2026 election a ballot measure to update the City's Business License Tax by amending Sections of Title 5, Division I of the Brisbane Municipal Code; directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis; and authorizing the filing of arguments in favor of measure.

Finance Director Yuen reported that tonight’s action is to adopt a resolution placing an Ordinance amending sections of Title 5, Division I on the ballot. The Ordinance would revise the current tiered tax structure to a simpler structure: 1) businesses with gross receipts of $25,000 or less would pay $50; 2) most other businesses with gross receipts or cost of operations greater than $25,000 would pay $50 plus an additional $1.00 per every $1,000 of gross receipts over $25,000. The ordinance proposes establishing a minimum tax base equal to the cost of operations for businesses whose operating costs exceed gross receipts.

After council questions, no public comment and council discussion. Councilmember O’Connell made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Davis, to adopt a resolution submitting to the electors in the November 3, 2026 election a ballot measure to update the City’s Business License Tax by amending Sections of Title 5, Division I of the Brisbane Municipal Code; directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis; and authorizing the filing of arguments in favor of measure with Mayor Mackin and Mayor Pro Tem Davis as authors.

June 2026 Review
The City's overall investments and cash balances increased by net $3.3 million from the previous month, primarily due to the Sales Tax and Recology business license payments received in June and deposited in the Wells Fargo account.

As reflected on Page 1, the BNY Mellon agency bonds subtotal remained at $10M. As the federal interest rates have slightly increased, there were no early calls on the bonds. The 2-year Treasury rate continued to exceed both the LAIF and BNY Money Market rates. The City moved $4 million from the WFB account to LAIF for rate advantage. Therefore, the City's portfolio weighted interest rate increased from last month, but still lower when compared to the benchmark rates. The City continues to seek and purchase longer term bonds with rates higher than LAIF to ladder maturities when available, but none were purchased in June.

The City's Cash with Fiscal Agents June 2026 $9.3M balance is primarily comprised of $7.9M of the PARS trust accounts, and $1.5M of the 2023 Bond proceeds held in trust as reflected on Page 1. The increase of $453K in Cash with Fiscal Agents was primarily due to the interest income earned in the PARS trust accounts.

When compared to prior year, the overall portfolio has shown little change in balance. However, the $9.2M decreases in balances in BNY bonds and money market accounts were results of rate management and moving balances to LAIF.

July 2026 Review
The City's overall investments and cash balances decreased by net $3.3 million from the previous month, primarily due to the annual payment of the Unfunded Pension Liability as we took advantage of the annual payment discounted option due in July
As reflected on Page 1, the BNY Mellon agency bonds subtotal remained at $10M. As the federal interest rates continue to increase, there were no early calls on the bonds. The 2-year Treasury rate continued to exceed both the LAIF and BNY Money Market rates. The City's portfolio weighted interest rate slightly dipped from the prior month due to the balance reduction. The City continues to seek and purchase longer term bonds with rates higher than LAIF to ladder maturities when available, but none were purchased in July.

The City's Cash with Fiscal Agents $9.3M balance is primarily comprised of $7.9M of the PARS trust accounts, and $1.5M of the 2023 Bond proceeds held in trust as reflected on Page 1. The decrease of $45K in Cash with Fiscal Agents was primarily due to the loss on returns in the PARS trust accounts.

When compared to prior year, the overall portfolio decreased by $2.5M. Also, changes between BNY and LAIF results of rate management and moving balances to LAIF.

City Council Staff Report
Meeting Date: September 3, 2026
From: Caroline Cheung, Assistant to the City Manager, Mario Garcia, Commander
Subject: Consider Halloween Road Closure Recommendations from the Complete Streets Safety Committee
Recommendation
Staff recommend the City Council review the recommendations from the Complete Streets Committee regarding the 2026 Halloween event
Background
Last year, the City hosted its first Halloween event, which included the planned closure of a number of streets in Central Brisbane. The event was well-received and surveys conducted after the event suggested strong support to make this an annual community event.

In advance of this year's closure, staff first provided an informational report to Council on April 2nd regarding last year’s event, with additional data from the aforementioned survey. Most respondents described their experience with the pilot program very positively, frequently mentioning increased safety for children and families and a more relaxed atmosphere.

Staff returned to the Council at your July 16th meeting (see Attachment 1), which provided additional input from city staff and recommended changes to the closure area. The City Council requested the Complete Streets Safety Committee (CSSC) meet to discuss further and provide the Council with options to consider in September. That meeting was held with the Committee on August 5th.

Both last year's Halloween closure area, and the July 16th staff-recommended "candy corn" options were reviewed, along with three additional options with increasingly larger footprints:
• The “candy corn” + Alvarado (between San Bruno and Mariposa) • The “candy corn” + Alvarado + San Francisco
• The “candy corn” + Alvarado + Mariposa, Monterey, and Mendocino between San Bruno and Alvarado
Using these provided scenarios from staff and hearing from a number of public members who attended or called into the meeting, the Committee deliberated and came up with a preferred option for the Council to consider.

Discussion
The Complete Streets Safety Committee's preferred option (see Attachment 2) is essentially the largest closure footprint provided to the Complete Streets Safety Committee, but includes the additional closure of San Bruno Ave. between 5-points and Alvarado. Committee members and staff believe that if San Bruno Ave. is closed, then Alvarado St. between San Bruno and Mariposa, along with San Francisco St. starting at 5-points or Old County would also need to be closed. Closing all three perimeter streets would prevent Alvarado from becoming congested with drivers trying to get around the closure of San Bruno. In addition, the potential for selfdriving vehicles like Waymo’s, that last year got stuck within the closure area, would also be prevented from the closure of these perimeter streets.

Motorists would be able to use Visitacion, which would remain open, allowing them to navigate around the closure by way of the open portion of Alvarado (above the “candy corn”) before turning right on San Bruno, should they need to exit during the closure. The recent addition of stop signs on every block of Visitacion increases the safety of the street.

The CSSC also thought an earlier start time of 5:30 PM for this year’s event, which takes place on a Saturday, would be appropriate given there not being the concern for workers getting home in time, and the effort being put forth to close the streets.

Last year, the Brisbane Police Department was able to bring in two night-shift officers an hour earlier than their regular shift, and two day-shift officers worked an hour after their shift ended in order to provide the coverage needed for the event. In light of road closures likely happening on an annual basis now for Halloween, the Brisbane Police Department feels it’s prudent to consider outside resources for routinely staffing the event. It may be where not all 4 scheduled officers are available to work that night due to family commitments. Of course, any on-duty Brisbane Police Officers would be present at the time of the road closures, helping patrol and monitor the affected intersections, and building community with trick-or-treaters and pedestrians enjoying the closed streets.

Staff has been in contact with LAZ Parking, which provides parking and traffic enforcement services. If we utilize LAZ for event staffing, they will need to cover all closure points, including Option A, or the “candy corn”. The reason being, should a major incident occur that evening, it is crucial that LAZ maintain control of all closure points due to their training, familiarity with the event plan, and ability to communicate effectively with their entire team. The City can certainly supplement each closure point with volunteers who would like to assist that evening.

Other recommendations for this year's event include:
• Using larger “W-3” barricades at each of the 8 closure points vs. “W-2’s” or “sandwich boards”. This will allow the boundaries of the closure area to be clearer to both pedestrians and motorists. “W-2’s” would be used again, however, to close off each side of the mid-block alleyways.

• Setting up temporary, “construction” lighting, especially near intersections where the streetlights may be dimmer (i.e. from BofA site to San Francisco and Visitacion/Klamath). Staff will also check if any streetlight bulbs need to be replaced prior to the event.
• Contacting Waymo to share the closure map with them, so their vehicles are aware of that evening’s road closures.
• Reminding residents within the closure area by way of door hangers that if they choose to utilize food delivery services such as UberEATS, Grubhub, and DoorDash on Halloween, that they either order earlier before the streets close, or make arrangements to meet the drivers outside the closure area. • Producing maps for the volunteers to hand out to visitors, showing areas where they can park and where a restroom facility is located at the Community Park. Large posters listing the overflow parking locations can also be placed at the top-most and lowersituated closure points. • Inviting a food truck to park along San Francisco St. so that there is a prepared food option at the Park.

While the Committee is not recommending other options for consideration, the Committee recommended that the Council also consider last year's boundaries and the "candy corn" recommended by staff at the July 16th meeting (Attachment 3).

Fiscal Impact
• Public Works overtime: estimated 12 hours at $77.91/hr. or $934.92 for the “candy corn” closure; estimated 14 hours at $77.91/hr. or $1,090.74 for the CSSCrecommended closure • LAZ Parking assistance would mostly be their staff’s labor costs. For the CSSCrecommended closure, where there are 8 closure points, the total would be $2,313, broken down by:
o 8 PEOs at $47/hr. = $1,128
o Project Supervisor at $95/hr. = $285
o Fixed Fees (insurance, uniforms, communications, travel) = $900 • Police overtime of 11 hours at $111.08/hr. or $1,221.88 would no longer be a factor if LAZ’s services are utilized
• Printed door hangers for residences within the closure area = ~$125 Total estimated fiscal impact for Halloween 2026 road closures is $3,528.74

City Council Staff Report
Meeting Date: July 16, 2026
From: Caroline Cheung, Assistant to the City Manager, Jeremy Dennis, City Manager
Subject: Consider Approval of 2026 Halloween Road Closures Recommendation
Staff recommend the City Council consider recommendations regarding this year’s Halloween road closures and provide approval or any further direction to staff.

Background
Last year, the City hosted its first Halloween event. The event was well received and staff has begun its planning efforts for this year’s event, which formally kicked off with staff’s presentation of an informational report on last year’s pilot road closures on Halloween.

In April’s report, over 80% of 86 survey respondents (with 57% of the respondents living within the closure area) thought the road closures contributed to a safer environment for trick-or-treaters and pedestrians, with strong support for continuing the program. Most respondents described their experience with the pilot program very positively, frequently mentioning increased safety for children and families and a more relaxed atmosphere. A few comments mentioned specific logistical issues, such as bottlenecks and heavy traffic on Alvarado, which was not closed and became congested. Survey responses from volunteers who helped monitor the 9 outer perimeter closure points mentioned that some seemed unaware that Alvarado and Visitacion were NOT closed.

Staff from Public Works, Police, and the City Manager’s Office met in June to discuss the community’s feedback and offer suggestions for improvements to this year’s event, which falls on Saturday, October 31, 2026.

Discussion
Fortunately, Brisbane Police Department received no calls for service during last year’s road closures between 6-8 PM. However, with Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, this is not anticipated to be the case, and officers would need to leave the event immediately if called to respond to an incident. With their assistance largely needed for the closure of San Bruno Avenue, it is being recommended that the footprint of the closure area be made slightly smaller, with San Bruno remaining open. The closure area would thus be scaled Attachment 1: June 16, 2026 Staff Report

back to only include the side streets between Visitacion and San Bruno – Mariposa, Monterey, Mendocino, and Klamath. Please see Attachment 1.

Other improvements/staff recommendations for this year include:
• Using larger “W-3” barricades at each of the 8 closure points vs. “W-2’s” or “sandwich boards”. This will allow the boundaries of the closure area to be clearer to both pedestrians and motorists. “W-2’s” would be used again, however, to close off each side of the mid-block alleyways.
• Setting up temporary lighting, especially near intersections where the streetlights may be dimmer.
• Placing recycling and trash toters at each of the 8 closure points to help keep the streets clear of debris.
• Communicating with rideshare services such as Waymo, Uber, and Lyft and food delivery services such as UberEATS, Grubhub, and DoorDash about the closure, as well as informing mapping services such as Google/Waze and Apple to indicate alternate routes during the closure period.
• Producing maps for the volunteers to hand out to visitors, showing areas where they can park and where a restroom facility is located at the Community Park. Large posters listing the overflow parking locations can also be placed at the top-most and bottom closure points.
• Engaging the Complete Streets Safety Committee to further plan and implement the closure.

Staff seeks input from the Council on this year’s Halloween event, based on staff’s recommendations above.

Fiscal Impact
Fiscal impacts will mostly be due to staff overtime costs with the event falling on a Saturday:
• Police overtime (11 hours or $1,221.84)
• Public Works overtime (12 hours or $1,694.26)
• Printed door hangers for residences within the closure area Attachments

City Council Staff Report
Meeting Date: September 3, 2026
From: Julia Ayres, Community Development Director
Subject: Discuss topics and schedule for future public hearings on the Baylands Specific Plan and EIR. (Note: this is not a public hearing. Public hearings will be separately
noticed)
Recommendation
Provide direction to staff regarding schedule and organization for public hearings on the Baylands Project.

Background
The future of the Baylands subarea has been an issue of community concern and dialogue for more than a generation. Development of this large and highly visible site has the potential to change Brisbane dramatically. These concerns, along with concerns regarding the safety of the site and other environmental issues, have informed the City’s thoughtful and comprehensive planning effort for the subarea, involving multiple environmental impact reports, public hearings, Council meetings, workshops, community meetings, surveys, general plan amendments, and a ballot measure. A detailed summary of the project history is provided in the June 25, 2026 Planning Commission agenda report, attached for reference.

Baylands Development Inc. (BDI), the project applicant, submitted a Specific Plan for the Baylands in 2025, which was then evaluated in the 2025 Draft EIR published on April 3, 2025; public review of the Draft EIR continued through September 2, 2025. The City published the Final Baylands Specific Plan EIR on May 14, 2026. The City released the 2026 Staff Recommended Baylands Specific Plan (analyzed as Modified Alternative 1 within the Final EIR) the same day, incorporating staff-recommended revisions to the Specific Plan to better reflect City policy goals and respond to issues that emerged through the environmental review process.

The Planning Commission held two workshops on May 28, 2026, and June 11, 2026, followed by public hearings on June 25, 2026, June 30, 2026, July 14, 2026, and July 23, 2026 to consider the Specific Plan and associated entitlements, including General Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments, as well as the Final EIR and Bayshore Mobility Plan. Following closure of the public hearing on July 23, the Commission continued its deliberations to August 13, 2026.

Ultimately the Commission voted to recommend that the Council approve the Specific Plan, with modifications, adopt the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments, certify the Final EIR, and adopt portions of the Bayshore Mobility Plan required to implement mitigation measures in the Final EIR.

Discussion
In coordination with the ad hoc subcommittee for the Baylands (Mayor Pro Tem Davis and Councilmember Lentz), staff has prepared the below anticipated framework for the upcoming discussions and public hearing before the Council on the Baylands Specific Plan, EIR, and associated entitlements and approvals.

To help frame discussion around the project, the anticipated framework begins with an overview of Measure JJ, the 2018 ballot measure approved by Brisbane voters to amend the General Plan and allow residential and commercial development in the Baylands pursuant to a Specific Plan and Development Agreement. Measure JJ lists topics that the Specific Plan and Development Agreement must address. Accordingly, staff recommends organizing the discussions and public hearing by topic area to help ensure consistency between the project and Measure JJ’s requirements. Staff is recommending special meetings so as to preserve regular meetings for regular business, although it is possible one or more regular Council meeting dates may be required.

State law requires the City provide notice, in addition to the notice required by the Brown Act, of a “public hearing,” for a date certain, to consider certain land use approvals. Staff suggests noticing the public hearing for September 14. However, Staff anticipates the Council will discuss the Project at multiple meetings, so we are suggesting, and have reserved with staff and consultants, several dates in addition to September 14. The public hearing notice will state that the hearing is on September 14. At the end of the September 14 meeting, the Council may continue the public hearing to a future date certain. The Council may use that same procedure at future meetings, until it is ready to take action on the Project. • Monday Sept 14, 5:30 PM special meeting

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the Council’s consideration of a framework for structuring future public hearings on the Baylands Specific Plan and EIR and associated approvals.

Environmental Impact
The Council’s consideration of a framework for structuring future public hearings on the Baylands Specific Plan and EIR and associated approvals is not a project under CEQA. As noted, an EIR was prepared for the project itself which will be considered by Council at future public hearings.

INTRODUCTION
The future of the Baylands has been an issue of community concern and dialogue for more than a generation.

Development of this large and highly visible site has the potential to change Brisbane dramatically. These concerns, along with concerns regarding the safety of the site and other environmental issues, have informed the City’s thoughtful and comprehensive planning effort for the subarea, involving multiple environmental impact reports, public hearings, workshops, community meetings, surveys, general plan amendments, and a ballot measure.

The City’s policy direction regarding the land use framework for the Baylands subarea was established through the passage of Measure JJ (General Plan Amendment GP-1-18) in 2018. The Specific Plan now under consideration along with the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and other related planning approvals represent the culminating step in the decades-long planning effort for the Baylands. Consideration of the Brisbane Baylands Specific Plan is an important milestone for the City and the community. The City’s action on the Specific Plan will formalize the City’s vision for the Baylands and establish land use regulations to implement this vision.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Planning Commission is tasked with considering several planning actions and forwarding its recommendations to the City Council. While the primary focus is the Brisbane Baylands Specific Plan (Attachment 3), other related planning actions that require City approval include amendments to the City’s General Plan and zoning regulations to bring them into alignment with the Specific Plan. In addition, as a precursor to making recommendations on the Specific Plan and other planning actions, the Commission will consider the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for “the project”. The purpose of the Final EIR is to inform the public and decisionmakers regarding the

Baylands Specific Plan EIR Page 2 of 15
Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow significant environmental effects of a project and identify mitigation measures and/or alternatives that would avoid or minimize the significant effects.

It is important to note that for purposes of the EIR, “the project” is defined broadly. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378(a) states that project “means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.” Based on this broad definition, the EIR “project description” includes not only the Specific Plan and related planning approvals but other components which are not planning and zoning related and are therefore not subject for formal Planning Commission review.

The EIR project components are briefly summarized below:

Components Requiring Planning Commission Recommendation:
2026 Brisbane Baylands Specific Plan: Proposes 2,200 residential units; 6.5 million square feet of commercial, office, retail, conference, life science, and office campus uses; 500,000 square feet of hotel use (approximately 800 rooms); a grade 6–8 middle school; 157 acres of open space/open area, parks, and trails; water, recycled water, sewer, drainage, electrical, and other utilities improvements on approximately 680.1 acres.

General Plan Amendments to the Land Use and Circulation Elements to reflect Specific Plan boundaries and Specific Plan roadway system.

Title 17 (Zoning Ordinance) Amendments including establishing a Baylands Specific Plan Zoning District and applying that zoning district to the Specific Plan area, as well as repealing Chapter 17.41- Interim Uses in the Baylands, deleting the M-1 Manufacturing zoning district, and updating other zoning regulations and standards related to implementation of the Baylands Specific Plan.

Bayshore Boulevard Mobility Plan to enhance connectivity for residents and land uses abutting Bayshore Boulevard, reduce the prominence of regional through-traffic along Bayshore Boulevard, making it a street better serving Brisbane residents, and redesigning Bayshore Boulevard as a multi-modal corridor to increase the level of comfort and safety for all roadway users including automobiles, emergency response vehicles, transit vehicles, trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians.

Development Agreement, which involves an Ordinance approving a Development Agreement between the City and the Developer. The Development Agreement will define the scope of the project’s vested rights and phasing requirements, along with public benefits and other contributions necessary to satisfy Measure JJ. As of the date of this staff report, the Development Agreement remains in process; it will be released for Planning Commission and public review later in the summer before the City Council takes action on the project.

Components Not Subject to Planning Commission Recommendation:

Water Agreement between City of Brisbane and Cal Water to extend Cal Water’s service area to the Baylands, which will be subject to City Council review and approval prior to site development per Measure JJ.

Establishment of Middle School on the Baylands, which is subject to Bayshore School District review and approval.

Relocation of Fire Station 81 from its existing site at 3445 Bayshore Boulevard to a new 2-story, 10,000-square-foot facility at 140 Valley Drive which is subject to approval of the North County Fire Authority and Brisbane City Council.

RECOMMENDATION
As set forth in attached Resolution 2021-ER-1/2021-SP-1/2021-RZ-3/2021-GPA-2 (Attachment 1), that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council:

1. Certify that the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Brisbane Baylands Specific Plan has been prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15090.

2. Approve the project entitlements, which include:
• Amend the General Plan Land Use Element in accordance with Government Code sections 65350 to 65362 to realign the northern boundary of the Baylands Subarea to correspond to the boundary of the Baylands Specific Plan.
• Amend the General Plan Circulation Element in accordance with Government Code sections 65350 to 65362 to:
o Realign Lagoon Road to directly access the southbound US 101 freeway ramps at Sierra Point Parkway.
o Extend Sierra Point Parkway from its current terminus at the southbound US 101 freeway ramps north to Geneva Avenue.
o Add proposed Baylands roadways to the General Plan circulation map. o Designate the Geneva Avenue extension through the Baylands as a Regional Arterial. o Add a new roadway type for “green local streets.”
• Adopt the Staff-Recommended Baylands Specific Plan, dated May 2026, in accordance with Government Code section 65450 as a specific plan, and in accordance with Government Code section 65850 as a zoning ordinance, each of which independently supports adoption of the plan. This includes:
o Land use designations and development standards for up to 2,200 residential units clustered in the northwestern portion of the site in proximity to the Bayshore Caltrain station; 6.5 million square feet of commercial, office, retail, conference, life science, and office campus uses; 500,000 square feet of hotel use (approximately 800 rooms); a grade 6–8 middle school; and open space/open area, parks, and trails;
o Policies related to sustainability, utilities, and infrastructure improvements; and o Implementation measures.
• Amending Title 17, Zoning, of the Brisbane Municipal Code (BMC) to implement the Baylands Specific Plan for Modified Alternative 1, in accordance with Government Code sections 65800 to 65912 to:
o Change the zoning designations of land within the Baylands Specific Plan area from Commercial Mixed-Use (C-1), Marsh Lagoon Bayfront (MLB), and Manufacturing (M-1) to Baylands Specific Plan (BSP); and
o Establish the land use regulations and development standards set forth in the Specific Plan as the regulatory authority governing future development within the Specific Plan area; o Delete Chapter 17.41, Interim Uses In The Baylands Subarea; and o Amend the City’s Zoning Map to reflect the Baylands Specific Plan zone changes. • Approve the Bayshore Mobility Plan, which calls for enhancing the mobility for Brisbane residents and businesses by reducing the number of travel lanes along Bayshore Boulevard from four lanes (two in each direction) to two lanes (one in each direction) south of Geneva Avenue, along with providing a median, turn pockets, and a multi-use pathway and bicycle facilities along the corridor within the City of Brisbane.

Baylands Specific Plan EIR Page 4 of 15
Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow Pursuant to Government Code §65855 and BMC §17.54.010, the reasons for the recommendation and the relationship of the proposed ordinance or amendment to applicable general and specific plans are:

1. Adoption of the Staff-Recommended Baylands Specific Plan is consistent with and implements General Plan Amendments GPA-1-18 (ratified by voters as Measure JJ) and GP-1-19, which together established the allowable amount and type of development within the Baylands Subarea and other development requirements, such as:
• landfill closure plans that comply with Title 27;
• Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) for the entire site;
• proof of reliable water supply;
• be revenue-positive to the City;
• preserve and enhance key habitat areas;
• protect and rehabilitate the historic Roundhouse for adaptive reuse; and • align with the City's Sustainability Framework for the Baylands.

Adoption of the Plan is also consistent with the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element, which, in part, aims to facilitate and support the production of housing. Housing Element Program 2.A.2 generally requires adoption of a specific plan for the Baylands subarea that allows up to 2,200 housing units by-right, without discretionary design review, at certain minimum densities, to meet the City’s 2023-2031 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

2. The proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance implement the Staff-Recommended Baylands Specific Plan by establishing the 2026 Baylands Specific Plan as the regulatory instrument defining land use categories, permitted uses, and development standards within the Specific Plan area.

3. The proposed amendments to the General Plan Land Use and Circulation Elements ensure consistency with the provisions of the 2026 Baylands Specific Plan, including realignment of land use boundaries and changes to circulation and roadway classifications.

BACKGROUND
A specific plan is a detailed planning and zoning document used to guide development for a defined geographic area, such as the Baylands subarea, and implements the broader goals of a General Plan. It functions as a blueprint, outlining specific land uses, infrastructure needs, and design standards for the defined area. Specific plans are stand-alone regulatory documents that are separate from the City’s General Plan and zoning, but must be consistent with the policies laid out in a General Plan and implement such policies. A specific plan is a legislative action, adopted by a resolution of the City Council following a recommendation from the Planning Commission.

The Brisbane Baylands Specific Plan will be the regulatory framework to guide development consistent with the City’s General Plan over time within the Baylands Subarea. The Specific Plan is not a “final” design of specific buildings or a prescription of how each building is to be designed, nor does it stipulate how open space and other recreation areas are to be programmed. Photographs and figures contained within the Specific Plan are illustrative only. The Specific Plan balances policy direction with future adaptability by outlining specific land uses, infrastructure needs, and design standards meant to inform future development project applications.

6/25/2026 Meeting
Baylands Specific Plan EIR Page 5 of 15
Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow The Baylands Specific Plan area, which includes the Baylands subarea of the Brisbane General Plan and the Brisbane Lagoon, encompasses approximately 680.1 acres (532.3 acres of existing land area and 121.8 acres of lagoon) bounded to the east by US 101, to the west and south by Bayshore Boulevard, and by the City and County of San Francisco to the north (see Specific Plan Figure 1.1.1 – Location Map). The site is comprised of multiple parcels primarily owned by several corporate entities which are managed in common by Baylands Development Inc. (BDI), the Specific Plan applicant. These properties are proposed to be developed in a comprehensive fashion under the Specific Plan. However, there are several properties within the Specific Plan area under separate ownership (Golden State Lumber, Recology, Kinder Morgan Tank Farm, Machinery and Equipment Building, Bayshore Sanitary District) that are not under the control of BDI. Given that these parcels will be affected by Specific Plan development that will surround them, these parcels are included within the Specific Plan to allow for the entire Specific Plan area to be planned and developed in a comprehensive and coordinated fashion.

Planning Context and History
Planning efforts for development of the Baylands trace back to the 1994 General Plan, which required a comprehensive specific plan for the site and prohibited residential uses. Planning applications were initiated in 2005, as summarized in the timeline below. A detailed summary of the history and context of this project is provided in Attachment 5.

Pre 2018
From 2005 to 2011, the applicant submitted various iterations of a Specific Plan, which triggered the City’s preparation of a programmatic EIR, due to the scale and conceptual nature of the Specific Plan. The City conducted environmental review from 2013 through 2015, ultimately producing a Final EIR in June 2015 following an extensive public review process. The Planning Commission reviewed the Final EIR and project from September 2015 to August 2016. City Council review of the EIR and project ran through 2016 and 2017. 2018
In 2018, the City Council certified the Final Program EIR, approved General Plan Amendment GPA‑1‑18, and placed it on the ballot as Measure JJ, which passed with 55% voter support. GPA‑1‑18 was placed on the ballot due to the significance and scale of the project. The amendment established a Planned Development (PD) designation allowing 1,800–2,220 housing units, 6.5 million square feet of commercial uses, and 500,000 square feet of hotel space, with residential uses limited to the northwest part of the Baylands.

Measure JJ set detailed requirements that the future Baylands Specific Plan must meet, including approved remediation and landfill‑closure plans, enforceable cleanup schedules, secured water supply, properly designed residential areas, developer‑funded infrastructure, revenue‑positive operations for the City, long‑term remediation assurances, sustainability and energy‑neutral design, habitat and historic resource protection, flood and sea‑level‑rise resilience, and soil testing prior to any grading involving the landfill. 2019
In 2019, the applicant began revising its 2011 Specific Plan to align with GP-1-18/Measure JJ. The City initiated GP-1-19, a follow-up General Plan amendment to ensure internal consistency and updates to transportation policy to meet new State standards, including removal of intersection Level of Service (LOS) as a CEQA impact. GP-1-19 also added a policy directing the City to study a new mobility program for Bayshore Boulevard and the Geneva Avenue extension; this policy is the genesis of the Bayshore Mobility Plan, discussed in detail later in this report.

Baylands Specific Plan EIR Page 6 of 15
Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow The City conducted direct outreach on the Baylands planning process to community members, including local employers and employees, playgroups with parents of young children, and neighborhood associations. The City also hosted two community conversations in partnership with San Mateo County Home for All, to ensure that community members had the opportunity to contribute ideas, help identify shared values and priorities, and deepen their understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented by the Baylands development. BDI participated to understand community expectations and later hosted its own community meetings (not affiliated with the City).
2020
In 2020, the applicant submitted a preliminary revised Baylands Specific Plan, providing enough detail for the City to start a new project-level EIR, and the City issued the first Notice of Preparation (NOP) for that EIR. 2021 – 2023
In 2021, State regulatory agencies approved remedial action plans (RAPs) for the non-landfill portions of the site, including operating units (OU) SM and OU-2. In 2023, a revised NOP was issued due to a change in the project’s planned water source, and BDI submitted a revised draft Specific Plan. City advisory bodies, such as Complete Streets, Open Space and Ecological Committee, and Parks & Recreation reviewed and commented on the draft 2023 Specific Plan.

In 2023, the City Council adopted the 2023-2031 Housing Element, which included approximately 53 acres of the northwest quadrant of the Baylands Specific Plan area on the Housing Site’s Inventory (Appendix B: Table B.7.2 – Housing Sites Inventory) for the purpose of accommodating 1,800 housing units towards meeting the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
2024
In 2024, the City settled its lawsuit with the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CAHSRA). To implement the voter approved initiative to provide high speed rail service between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the CAHSRA identified the Baylands as the preferred site for Light Maintenance Facility (LMF) to store and service trains. The settlement reduced the proposed LMF from 125 acres to 45 acres and committed both parties to evaluating and accommodating the reduced facility in the Baylands planning process. 2025
In 2025, the applicant completed revisions to the 2023 Specific Plan. This 2025 version of the Specific Plan was evaluated in the 2025 Draft EIR, which was published on April 3, 2025; public review continued through September 2, 2025. The landfill closure plan was approved by the State in February 2025. 2026
The Final Baylands Specific Plan EIR was published on May 14, 2026. The 2026 Staff Recommended Baylands Specific Plan (analyzed as Modified Alternative 1 within the Final EIR) was released the same day, incorporating staff-recommended revisions to the Specific Plan to better reflect City policy goals and to respond to issues that emerged through the environmental review process. The Planning Commission held two workshops (May 28, 2025, and June 11, 2025) prior to the June 25, 2026, public hearing. City Council hearings are anticipated to begin later this year.

Baylands Specific Plan EIR Page 7 of 15
Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow The following analysis addresses the EIR project components (briefly summarized above) requiring action from the Planning Commission. They include:

1. 2026 Staff Recommended Specific Plan

2. Brisbane Baylands Specific Plan Final EIR

3. General Plan Amendments

4. Title 17 (Zoning Ordinance) Amendments

5. The Bayshore Boulevard Mobility Plan

1. 2026 Staff Recommended Baylands Specific Plan
As noted previously, the applicant prepared the 2025 Draft Baylands Specific Plan that was described and evaluated in the 2025 Draft EIR. As part of the environmental review and planning process, City staff is recommending revisions to the applicant’s plan which are incorporated into the staff recommended Baylands Specific Plan dated May 14, 2026, referred to as the 2026 Staff Recommended Specific Plan. These staff recommended changes were evaluated in the FEIR as Modified Alternative 1.

The 2026 Staff Recommended Specific Plan retains the overall plan structure and organization from the applicant’s draft plan. It adjusts the developer’s land use program and development standards to be consistent with recommended mitigation measures as well as other City ordinances and policies. Many of the proposed revisions are procedural and/or organizational in nature to provide additional certainty and clarity and facilitate staff’s ability to implement this plan over an extended period of time.

Each chapter of the 2026 Staff Recommended Specific Plan is summarized below. Refer to Attachment 7 for a more detailed analysis of each chapter, and the 2026 Specific Plan (Attachment 3) for the complete regulatory framework governing development within the Baylands.

Vision/Executive Summary
This chapter provides an overview of the project, including the background and planning process, and establishes the design principles for the Specific Plan. This section further outlines a design process overlaying existing uses, open space, vehicular access, and transit to define a series of districts accommodating a variety of land uses.

Chapter 1 - Introduction
This chapter provides background information regarding the site, purpose of the plan, and consistency with Measure JJ and the General Plan. It describes the Baylands as a transit-oriented, mixed-use district, integrating housing, employment uses, open space, and multimodal connections. It also lays out the core planning principles of the document, including concentrating density near transit, creating walkable, connected neighborhoods, integrating natural systems and open space, and ensuring the site develops in a way that is both environmentally and economically sustainable.

Chapter 2 - Land Use Program and Planning Districts
Chapter 2 defines how development will be organized, distributed, and regulated across the Baylands. It establishes:
• The maximum buildout;
• Five planning districts and their block structure;
• Residential and commercial land use categories;

ATTACHMENT 1

Baylands Specific Plan EIR Page 8 of 15
Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow • Building heights and density rules;
• Location of high-rise towers;
• Open space targets;
• Housing affordability requirements;
• Existing and interim use allowances.

The land use program concentrates the highest-intensity, mixed-use development near transit in the northern portion of the site, transitioning to lower-intensity residential, commercial, and open space toward the south and site edges. The program allows a range of 1,800 to 2,200 housing units, 6.5 million square feet of commercial uses, and 500,000 square feet of hotel space.

Chapter 3 - Development Standards and Controls
Chapter 3 guides how buildings are shaped, located, and used throughout the Baylands. By structuring standards at different scales—district, block, and building—it ensures that new development achieves a cohesive form while allowing for variation between neighborhoods. This layered approach is essential for a large, mixed‑use site because it maintains consistency while supporting long‑term adaptability. This chapter is organized into the following sections.
• Building Standards: development standards such as setbacks, building design, building height, parking, etc.;
• Performance Standards: standards that generally apply project wide; • Allowable Land Uses: list of uses that are identified as permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited; and
• Existing Use Areas: standards for existing uses areas.

Chapter 4 - Sustainability
Chapter 4 explains how the Specific Plan integrates environmental, social, and economic sustainability, from energy systems and green building standards to community amenities, aligning the project with both State requirements and Brisbane’s long-standing sustainability goals. The chapter is structured around the City’s Sustainability Framework for the Baylands, which is based on One Planet Living’s framework—ten guiding principles to keep a community’s ecological footprint within the limits of one planet. Specific Plan Table 4.2.1, Summary of One Planet Principles for The Baylands, available within Attachment 3, identifies the ten One Planet Living principles within the Framework along with a summary of how they are implemented for the Baylands.

A major component of the chapter is the Specific Plan’s energy strategy, which combines on-site renewable energy production, extensive battery storage, and the use of 100% renewable power from Peninsula Clean Energy (soon to be known as WestLight Energy). The plan includes 85,000 MWh/year of on-site solar generation from rooftops, parking areas, and a 55-acre solar farm, along with 30 MW of battery storage (plus potential for 250 MW of utility-scale storage).

The chapter also addresses sustainability-related community and cultural policies, including full participation in the City’s Art in Public Places Ordinance, ensuring a comprehensive Baylands Public Arts Program that is consistent with adopted City standards, and also specifies green building certification requirements for commercial and residential buildings – LEED Gold Building Design + Construction (BD+C) and GreenPoint certification, respectively, in effect at the time of a development application.

6/25/2026 Meeting
Baylands Specific Plan EIR Page 9 of 15
Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow Chapter 5 - Conservation And Open Space
This chapter establishes an interconnected open space network that supports recreation, ecological health, stormwater management, and community access, providing green spaces near residential and commercial areas while preserving sensitive habitats. It includes linear parks, wetlands, trails, upland habitat areas, and naturalized stormwater facilities that link the site to surrounding communities. Final open space design will undergo future City review to ensure responsiveness to community needs (see Chapter 9 - Implementation).

The Specific Plan exceeds the General Plan requirement for 25% open space by preserving approximately 148.4 acres (27.9%), excluding areas expected to be inundated by sea level rise by 2100, and categorizing this open space into urban plazas, active recreation areas, community greens, and ecological greenspaces. The chapter emphasizes ecological greenspace – tidal and freshwater wetlands, riparian zones, grasslands, and coastal scrub – designed to adapt to sea level rise and enhance habitat connectivity. Stormwater management is integrated through a naturalized 7.2‑acre detention area and bioswale network that improves water quality and provides habitat functions.

Chapter 6 - Circulation
Chapter 6 outlines how the street network, active transportation system, transit services, parking strategy, and streetscape design work together to create a safe, accessible, and efficient mobility framework for residents, workers, and visitors. The roadway network is organized into a hierarchy – freeways, regional arterials, minor arterials, collectors, local streets, green shared streets, and access roads – each with defined functions for movement, safety, and access.

A major focus of the chapter is active transportation. Pedestrian facilities include continuous sidewalks, shared‑use paths, curb extensions, and human‑scaled street designs. The bicycle and micromobility networks provide protected north–south and east–west routes, off‑street paths, trail connections, bike parking, and wayfinding, all integrated into city and regional networks to improve access to open space, downtown Brisbane, and transit.

Transit connectivity is strengthened through links to Caltrain, SamTrans, Muni, and the future Geneva–Harney BRT.

An internal shuttle will offer free, frequent service within the Baylands and to Downtown Brisbane, with on‑demand service during off‑peak periods. Five mobility hubs cluster multimodal services such as bike and scooter share, car share, EV charging, wayfinding, and pick‑up/drop‑off zones to support seamless first‑ and last‑mile travel.

The Specific Plan includes a comprehensive Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program designed to reduce car dependency and parking demand. The program meets or exceeds Municipal Code Chapter 10.52 requirements and would be overseen by a sitewide TDM coordinator, with key objectives including a 30% reduction in trip generation, significant reductions in per‑capita VMT, and a maximum of 11,000 off‑street parking spaces. Additional strategies include unbundled parking, shared district garages, EV‑focused spaces, and clean‑air‑vehicle priority.

Chapter 7 - Infrastructure
Chapter 7 outlines the major infrastructure systems required to support safe, resilient, and sustainable development of the Baylands. It addresses grading, stormwater management, potable and recycled water systems, wastewater handling, energy, and telecommunications. All infrastructure is designed to integrate with open spaces, streets, and ecological systems to create a cohesive and environmentally responsible framework.

Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow As described in the Chapter, site preparation will begin with demolishing existing structures, removing existing underground utilities, and clearing and grubbing surface soils, followed by phased grading activities that will comply with all applicable remediation requirements per the approved Remedial Action Plans and landfill closure plan approved and governed by State and County regulatory agencies. The Specific Plan follows remediation and landfill-closure standards established by State and County agencies in the approved plans, requiring five feet of clean soil or hardscape west of the Caltrain tracks, a low-permeability landfill cap east of the tracks, and clean-soil utility corridors sitewide to prevent exposure to contaminated materials. Together, these grading and utility measures ensure safe development over remediated and former landfill areas.

Chapter 8 - Public Facilities Financing
The Baylands development requires extensive new infrastructure, which must be fully funded by the developer and remain revenue‑positive for the City at all stages of buildout, as mandated by General Plan Policies BL.1(D) and BL.1(E). To ensure Brisbane residents and businesses outside the Baylands incur no financial burden, the financing strategy relies on multiple funding sources—including developer contributions, public‑private partnerships, and tools such as Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) and Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFDs)—while assigning all repayment obligations for public financing to Baylands property owners and occupants. The Specific Plan’s implementation strategy identifies required improvements, funding sources, responsibilities for operations and maintenance, and long‑term revenue mechanisms, all of which must comply with General Plan requirements for financial neutrality and fiscal benefit to the City.

Chapter 9 - Implementation
The Implementation chapter establishes how the Specific Plan will be carried out over time, addressing the general sequencing of remediation, landfill closure, grading, infrastructure, open space delivery, and development. Under the 2026 Staff Recommend Specific Plan, the Development Agreement as discussed below would establish precise open space and infrastructure delivery phasing tied to defined permitting stages.

The overall project phasing described in this Chapter begins with pre-development grading occurring across the entire site, because soil stored on the former landfill on the east side of the site needs to be relocated to raise grades on the west side, and clean soil corridors must be installed for future utilities. Phase I would then commence, which includes all commercial and residential development west of Caltrain, progressing as remediation and grading are completed. Several major infrastructure systems located in the east, such as the solar field, water recycling facility, and constructed wetlands, must be built during Phase I to support the entire site.

Phase II includes development of the Campus East District and will begin after soil relocation and Title 27 landfill closure are completed on the east side. Both phases will advance incrementally based on the pace of remediation and closure activities, and final timing will be refined in the Development Agreement. State-approved remediation for OU-SM and OU-2 must be certified complete before construction permits are issued west of Caltrain, while each block east of Caltrain must receive Title 27 closure certification before any infrastructure or building permits can be issued.

The chapter also outlines the City approvals needed for construction, including grading permits and a series of subdivision and parcel maps to create district boundaries, blocks, and individual development parcels. Long‑term implementation will be governed by a Development Agreement, which in addition to phasing and sequencing of open space and infrastructure delivery, may also stipulate financing and community benefits. A development allocation process, described in greater detail in Attachment 7, ensures that allowable density and building types are distributed appropriately across districts over the approximately 20‑year buildout period, preventing premature consumption of development capacity and ensuring consistency with design standards and mitigation measures. The chapter describes the procedures for modifying allocations, appealing decisions, and processing

Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow site‑specific plans and sign programs to provide additional administrative structure to manage the buildout of the Baylands.

Finally, Chapter 9 establishes requirements for site-specific development compliance, including block-level conformity with design standards, as well as requirements for sign programs and procedures for approving minor modifications to the Specific Plan. Collectively, these provisions ensure that development within each district proceeds in an orderly, coordinated, and policy-consistent manner while allowing appropriate flexibility as market conditions change during buildout.

2. Baylands Specific Plan Final EIR
As noted above, the Baylands Specific Plan Final EIR was published on May 14, 2026. It consists of:
• Draft EIR published on April 3,2025;
• Written comments received on the Draft EIR during the public comment period which closed on September 2, 2025;
• List of parties who commented on the Draft EIR;
• Responses to all written comments and oral comments from the Planning Commission meeting received on the Draft EIR;
• Revisions to the Draft EIR based on comments and staff recommendations; and • Mitigation monitoring and reporting program.

Components of the Final EIR are summarized below; see Attachment 6 for a more detailed description of the components of the Final EIR.

Draft EIR
The 2025 Draft EIR provides an overview of the Baylands project, outlining the project description, major objectives, and consistency of the Specific Plan with the City’s General Plan and Housing Element. It evaluates environmental impacts across a wide range of topics, including land use, hazards, housing, water quality, aesthetics, geology, biology, utilities, cultural resources, transportation, recreation, air quality, wildfire risk, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy use.

The Draft EIR further details required approvals from the City and other agencies, key areas of controversy such as high‑density development, contaminated soils, landfill closure, water supply, habitat impacts, sea‑level‑rise adaptation, traffic, and compatibility with planned high speed rail improvements and service. It analyzes a reasonable range of alternatives, including “no project” alternatives and alternatives encompassing variations in development density and intensity. Finally, it addresses mandatory CEQA topics such as irreversible environmental effects, growth‑inducing impacts, and cumulative impacts. See Attachment 6 for a more detailed description of key sections contained within the Draft EIR.

Written Comments and List of Commenters
During the 180-day Draft EIR public comment period, the City received approximately 40 comment letters on the draft EIR. The list of commenters and comment letters are included in Chapters 12 and 13 of the Final EIR.

Responses to Comments

Baylands Specific Plan EIR Page 12 of 15
Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow Chapter 13 of the Final EIR provides written responses to all comments that raised significant environmental issues. Consistent with CEQA guidelines, comments unrelated to the EIR were acknowledged but not responded to.

To address overarching themes or similar concerns that recurred in multiple comment letters, a number of general responses were prepared. A detailed discussion of the responses to comments are contained in Attachment 6.

Revisions to the Draft EIR
Revisions to the Draft EIR were made either in response to comments or as a result of staff-initiated changes to the Specific Plan. Revisions to the Draft EIR in responses to comments are described in Chapter 14 of the Final EIR, and are reflected throughout the revised Draft EIR provided in Volumes 1 through 3 of the Final EIR. The revisions to the Draft EIR do not trigger recirculation because they do not introduce new impacts or substantially worsen existing impacts. Attachment 6 contains a summary of the revisions to the Draft EIR, as reflected in the Final EIR.

Significant Unavoidable Impacts
Chapter 4 of the Final EIR focuses on evaluating and mitigating the significant physical environmental effects of the Baylands Specific Plan; below are significant unavoidable impacts identified for which the physical environmental effect would remain significant even after implementation of all feasible mitigation measures:
• Impact AQ-1: Emissions of Criteria Air Pollutants for which the Basin is in Nonattainment; • Impact NOI-1: Temporary Increase in Ambient Noise Levels during Construction; • Impact NOI-2: Permanent Increase in Ambient Noise Levels from Stationary Sources; • Impact NOI-3: Permanent Increase in Ambient Noise Levels along Roadways; • Impact NOI-5: Cumulative Impact Related to Pile-Driving Vibration during Construction; and • Impact NOI-6: Cumulative Impact Related to Exacerbating Human Annoyance or Hazards to Buildings due to Increased Vibration Levels (Placing High-Density Residential Uses Immediately Adjacent to the Caltrain Right-of-Way).

Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
CEQA Guidelines Section 15097 requires public agencies “to adopt a reporting or monitoring program for changes to the project which it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment.” The purpose of such a program is to ensure that when an environmental document identifies mitigation measures, those measures are, in fact, implemented. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is included in Chapter 17 of the Final EIR. As lead agency, the City of Brisbane is responsible for implementation of this MMRP.

As a reminder, as a precursor to making recommendations on the Specific Plan and other planning actions the Commission must consider if the Final EIR prepared for the Baylands Specific Plan fully informs the public and City Council regarding the significant environmental effects of the project and identifies mitigation measures and/or alternatives that would avoid or minimize significant effects.

3. General Plan Amendments
The Planning Commission is also considering the following General Plan amendments to ensure consistency between the General Plan and the Specific Plan:

Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow • Amending the General Plan Land Use Element to realign the boundary between the Baylands Subarea and Beatty Subarea to correspond to the boundary of the Baylands Specific Plan as illustrated in Figure 3-3 in the Specific Plan.
• Amending the General Plan Circulation Element to:
o Realign Lagoon Road to directly access the southbound US 101 freeway ramps at Sierra Point Parkway.
o Extend Sierra Point Parkway from its current terminus at the southbound US 101 freeway ramps north to Geneva Avenue.
o Add proposed Baylands roadways to the General Plan circulation map. o Designate the Geneva Avenue extension through the Baylands as a Regional Arterial. o Add a new roadway type for “green local streets.”
A copy of the redline edits and proposed amendments to General Plan text and figures is available in Attachment

2. 4. Zoning Amendments
The Planning Commission will also consider the following amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to ensure consistency with the Specific Plan:
• Change the zoning designations of land within the Baylands Specific Plan area from Commercial MixedUse (C-1), Marsh Lagoon Bayfront (MLB), Manufacturing (M-1) to Baylands Specific Plan (BSP); and • Delete Chapter 17.41, Interim Uses In The Baylands Subarea; • Make minor, administrative clean-ups related to adoption of the Specific Plan; and • Amend the City’s Zoning Map to reflect the Baylands Specific Plan zone changes.

ZONING CHANGE SUMMARY

ESTABLISH THE BSP
DISTRICT/REPEAL M1 DISTRICT
Rather than duplicating the regulatory standards from the Specific Plan in the Zoning Ordinance, staff is proposing to establish a new Baylands Specific Plan zoning district and apply it to the whole of the Baylands Specific Plan area. The new zoning district will establish the 2026 Baylands Specific Plan as the regulatory instrument defining land use categories, permitted uses and development standards within the Specific Plan area, including the lagoon. The new BSP district will reuse the Chapter 17.20 numbering which is presently assigned to the M-1 district, which regulations will be repealed. The few buildings that will remain within the currently M-1 zoned area are within the Specific Plan’s “Existing Use Areas” and will be regulated under the new BSP district.

AMEND BMC
CHAPTER 17.13
Chapter 17.13 C-1 Commercial Mixed-Use District presently applies to the majority of the Baylands Specific Plan area. Sites subject to the Specific Plan will be rezoned from C1 to BSP as described above. A handful of sites within the existing C-1 district will be retained, outside the boundaries of the Baylands Specific Plan; accordingly, the Chapter will be slightly modified and retained. (See the proposed changes to the Zoning Map.)

DELETE BMC
CHAPTER 17.41
Chapter 17.41 regulates approval and control of interim uses in the Baylands Subarea - consistent with General Plan Policy 332 - until the area is ready to be redeveloped with permanent improvements. Adoption of the Baylands Specific Plan defines the permanent use of the properties in this area and the Specific Plan establishes new regulations for interim uses exclusively within the LMF area. Accordingly, the adopted Specific Plan will govern interim uses in the Baylands and this Chapter is proposed to be deleted from the Zoning Ordinance. The Specific Plan allows interim uses to continue operating until their terms expire, assuming their presence does not preclude or interfere with project implementation.

ZONING CHANGE SUMMARY

OTHER MINOR

CHANGES
This includes associated administrative updates to reflect the adoption of the Specific Plan, such as adding “BSP Baylands Specific Plan” to the list of established districts in Chapter 17.04 or removing internal references to the M-1 district as in Chapter 17.32.

Attachment 2 illustrates the proposed changes to the City’s Zoning Map. As indicated above, a small portion of the C-1 Commercial Mixed-Use District will remain outside of the Specific Plan boundaries (Park and Ride). Other changes, also noted above, include changing the zoning designation of the Brisbane Lagoon – currently zoned MLB Marsh Lagoon Bayfront – to Baylands Specific Plan as with all other existing parcels within the boundaries of the Specific Plan.

Last, the new BSP zoning district specifies that in the case the Specific Plan does not specifically address a development standard or requirement otherwise addressed in the Zoning Ordinance (Title 17), the requirements of Title 17 shall apply.

5. Bayshore Mobility Plan
The Bayshore Mobility Plan (BMP) was developed by the City’s consultants Fehr & Peers to address General Plan Policy C.1 and associated program C.1.b adopted in 2019 under General Plan Amendment GP-1-19 following adoption of Measure JJ. This General Plan policy directs the City to reevaluate the design of Bayshore Boulevard to prioritize local access, multimodal travel, and reduced vehicle miles traveled and reduce heavy regional cut‑through traffic on Bayshore Boulevard, where 60–80% of vehicles have no origin or destination in Brisbane, and to improve safety and mobility for residents. This General Plan policy, along with the 2022 SafeTREC Complete Streets Safety Assessment1 prepared for the segment of Bayshore Boulevard between San Bruno Avenue and Old County Road, provided the foundation for the BMP’s recommended “road diet” reducing Bayshore from four lanes to two, recognizing that widening the roadway would worsen cut‑through conditions.

Proposed Improvements
The BMP proposes multimodal improvements to the Bayshore Boulevard corridor from the City’s northern to southern limit, including a separated multi‑use path, upgraded pedestrian crossings, protected turn phases, improved lighting, updated striping and signage, and speed feedback features. These elements are designed to reduce regional through‑traffic, enhance local access, and create a safer, more comfortable corridor for pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, and motorists.

Environmental Analysis of the BMP
The BMP is analyzed in the project EIR and public comments on the Draft EIR raised concerns about congestion, emergency access, and pedestrian safety on Bayshore Boulevard. The Final EIR explains that without redesigning Bayshore Boulevard, growing congestion on US‑101 will continue to push regional traffic onto Bayshore. Modeling indicates the BMP would reduce regional through‑traffic by roughly 40% – shifting trips back to the highway – while maintaining adequate capacity for existing and future local trips, including development of the Baylands.

Planning Commission Action on the BMP
1 The 2022 Complete Streets Safety Assessment was completed by the consulting firm Fehr and Peers and the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC) at UC Berkeley. The City’s Complete Street Safety Committee received a presentation on the assessment at their February 7, 2024 meeting. A portion of the assessment was also shared at the City Council Meeting of October 19, 2023. The Assessment is available online at: https://www.brisbaneca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1650

Baylands Specific Plan EIR Page 15 of 15
Printed on 50% recycled paper Providing for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow The BMP is not a part of the Baylands Specific Plan; however, its addresses improvement of intersections impacted by the Specific Plan in addition to addressing the corridor more holistically. The Commission’s consideration of the BMP is therefore a related component of its consideration of the Specific Plan, but ultimately adoption of the BMP is not required in order to approve the Specific Plan. Given the scale of proposed changes to this important local and regional corridor, should the Commission ultimately determine it needs more time to study the BMP, it may elect to defer action on the BMP while still moving forward with consideration of the Specific Plan and Final EIR.

For additional analysis and conclusions of the BMP, see Attachment 8.

LAND USE
Question: In your opinion, what is the most important
problem that Brisbane residents will have to face and try to solve over the next ten years?
Respondents: "Development of lands currently vacant, to make certain they contribute and not
diminish the quality of life."
"Managing growth to keep our
independence."
"The Mountain. Save it."
General Plan Issues Questionnaire (GP-5)
Citizens who know and love the City will often explain that to understand Brisbane it is necessary to read the oral histories. A look to the past makes it clear that the City was incorporated as a defense against development that would have destroyed San Bruno Mountain and the quality of life of the community that had become established there. The passion for selfdetermination remains one of the most essential values of this community. This Land Use chapter begins with a look at the history of land use and subdivision patterns in the planning area.

This update of the General Plan provides an opportunity to reaffirm that Brisbane will control its destiny. If development is to occur, this community will set the standards. And the basis for these standards are the land uses and policies in the General Plan.

A General Plan usually includes an illustration of the general location of land uses on a map.

Figures LU-1 and LU-2 constitute the Land Use Map for the Brisbane General Plan. These land uses are categorized into land use designations, and this chapter includes a narrative description of each land use designation shown on the Land Use Map. Table 1 within this chapter describes the density and intensity of future planned land uses. The chapter closes with land use policies and programs, which describe how these land use designations are to be implemented. The policies in this section for the most part apply on a city-wide basis. Land use policies and programs specific to each of the subareas are found in Chapter XII.

V.1 HISTORY OF LAND USE AND SUBDIVISION
Land uses in Brisbane are well-established in many subareas of the City. In others, remainders of prior uses provide either opportunities or constraints to contemporary uses of the land. Land subdivision patterns in Brisbane have varied from one subarea to the next, depending on land DRAFT

use, topography, property ownership, and zoning regulations affecting lot sizes. The following is a brief chronological history of land use in the City, followed by an overview of the City's subdivision patterns.

Land Use History
Although the earliest recorded land use in the area that is now the City of Brisbane was ranching, archaeological remains indicate that this land was once a home to the Costanoan Tribe of Native Americans. The Guadalupe Valley, within which Central Brisbane, Crocker Park and the Northeast Ridge are now located, was part of the 1838 Mexican land grant known as Rancho Canada de Guadalupe la Visitacion y Rodeo Viego. Charles Crocker purchased most of this land grant in 1884 and called it Visitacion Ranch. In 1895, a section of the ranch was leased as a quarry, which operates to this day.

In the early 1900s, a small amount of urban development could be found in the area of Bayshore Boulevard and Geneva Avenue, in what is now the vicinity of the Northwest Bayshore subarea.

The 7-Mile House, a bar and grill established in 1853 and still operating today, served travelers along Bayshore Boulevard, which was one of the main thoroughfares connecting San Francisco with points south. A gas manufacturing plant, which evolved into what is now the Pacific Gas & Electric Company's Martin Service Center and Substation, operated from 1905 to 1916 in the area of Bayshore and Geneva, now a part of Daly City. Across Bayshore Boulevard on what is now known as the Baylands subarea, the Southern Pacific Railroad maintenance and switching yard was built atop rubble from the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake that was used to fill a portion of the Bay. The use of the yard began to decline in the 1960s and was mostly idle when Southern Pacific sold the yard and surrounding land and structures in 1989 to Universal Paragon Corporation. The land had featured a number of substantial industrial structures only a few of which remain, including the Roundhouse, one of the few of its kind still standing and which is designated a historic resource on the National Register of Historic Places.

Residential development in what is now Brisbane also began to appear early in the century. The area of the Guadalupe Valley that is now Central Brisbane experienced a small amount of residential construction between 1908 and 1929. The most notable of the early residences in what was then known as the "City of Visitacion" is the Allemand Hotel, currently an apartment building at the corner of San Bruno Avenue and Mariposa Street. In 1929 the name of the settlement was changed to Brisbane. In the 1930s, during the Depression, the residential area boomed due to its affordability, with a commercial core developing along Visitacion Avenue.

This residential area has continued to grow to the present and, to a limited degree, has extended into the lowest lying portions of the largely vacant Brisbane Acres.

The 1930s also saw an intensification of garbage dumping into the Bay in the portion of the Baylands subarea east of the Southern Pacific railroad tracks. Starting from the north, dumping continued southward until it was finally stopped in the 1960s at the edge of what is now the Brisbane Lagoon. The Recology complex of refuse transport and recycling facilities, located in the Beatty Subarea at the Brisbane-San Francisco border, is an active successor to this past use.

Since the 1940s, a variety of uses has developed atop the oldest part of the landfill, including lumber yards and warehouse buildings.

Although Bayshore Boulevard was a major thoroughfare connecting San Francisco with points south until Highway 101 was constructed in 1954, only limited development occurred along its frontages. In the 1940s, a small amount of residential development occurred along the west side of southern Bayshore Boulevard in the subarea now known as Southwest Bayshore. In the decades that followed, some commercial uses, such as retail, service and warehousing, intermixed with the residential uses, including a mobile home park.

The 1960s saw a flurry of industrial development, which continued into the early 1980s. In 1959, construction of Crocker Park began on the grazing lands of the floor of the Guadalupe Valley and adjacent wetlands, just north of Central Brisbane; the final phase of construction in Crocker Park was completed in the early 1980s, and Crocker Park was annexed to the City in 1983. In the 1960s, VWR Scientific first occupied a large office/warehouse building on the east side of southern Bayshore Boulevard; a second office/warehouse complex was added in the Southeast Bayshore subarea in 1981. First subdivided in 1969, the Brisbane Industrial Park, consisting mostly of metal buildings for warehouse, office and manufacturing uses, was constructed along Industrial Way in what is now the westerly edge of the Baylands subarea. The late 1960s also saw the development on the Baylands of the Southern Pacific Pipelines Brisbane Terminal, located on the leveled portion of Visitacion Point, with a privately constructed extension of Tunnel Avenue including an overcrossing connecting to Bayshore Boulevard.

Commonly referred to as the "Tank Farm," the facility and adjacent buildings provide fuel distribution services for the Peninsula and San Francisco International Airport.

Office and commercial development increased in the 1980s. Construction of the Brisbane Village shopping center began in 1979 at the entrance to Central Brisbane. This single structure shopping center contains approximately 20 storefronts and office spaces occupied mostly by retail businesses and professional offices. East of Highway 101 at Sierra Point, several buildings of the Sierra Point Office Park and the Brisbane Marina were constructed during the 1980s on a peninsula of engineered landfill that was closed in 1972.

In 1989, a multi-phased residential project, including open space for conserved habitat, was approved for the Northeast Ridge of San Bruno Mountain. The project includes 499 residential units and was completed in phases from the late 1990’s through 2015. In 1989, the Wildlife Conservation Board, a division of the State Department of Fish and Game, purchased Owl and Buckeye Canyons as an ecological reserve. They remain essentially in their natural state.

Brisbane citizens, staff and local environmental organizations worked with the Trust for Public Land to accomplish this acquisition, which added to the permanent open space established by the creation of San Bruno Mountain State and County Regional Park in the late 1970s.

History of Subdivision Patterns
The following describes the history of the subdivision of land in Brisbane by subarea.

Following adoption of the General Plan, zoning and subdivision regulations will be reviewed to determine if amendments should be made to conform to General Plan policy.

Sierra Point. The Sierra Point subarea was master planned and subdivided between 1981 and 1987, which resulted in the current configuration of typically 5 to 10 acre parcels. This pattern is consistent with the 1 acre minimum parcel size requirement which has been in effect since 1984.

DRAFT

ATTACHMENT 1

V-5
Southeast Bayshore. The Southeast Bayshore subarea was subdivided in 1979 into two parcels, one 4 acres in size and the other 11 acres. This is consistent with the 10,000 sq. ft. minimum parcel size requirement in effect since at least 1969.

Southwest Bayshore. The steep hillsides of the Southwest Bayshore subarea were first sold off as typically 11,900 sq. ft. unrecorded lots in the 1930s. Each of the original lots fronted on what was then known as the Bayshore Highway, hence their name, the "Highway Lots." Subsequent lot subdivisions reduced some of these lots to areas as small as approximately 3,000 sq. ft.

Regulations, which date back at least to 1969, established a 7,500 sq. ft. minimum lot size in the subarea.

Brisbane Acres. The Brisbane Acres subarea originated as an unrecorded subdivision in the 1930s. As the name implies, unrecorded lots were typically an acre in size. Subsequent land transfers by deed description resulted in individual ownerships, some with areas of less than 5,000 sq. ft. In 1980, regulations were adopted that set a 20,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size. Parcel maps have been recorded for some of the previously unrecorded lots to allow for development.

These are in the lower Brisbane Acres areas, close to public infrastructure.

Central Brisbane. In 1908, the American Realty Company subdivided the area that is now Central Brisbane into small residential lots. These lots were typically 25 feet wide and 100 feet deep, but in many instances lot dimensions were adjusted to fit the subarea's bowl-like terrain.

Many of the lots were subsequently developed in pairs, some as three or more lots combined, and a few as one and a half lots. The current regulations requiring 5,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size for residential districts and 2,500 sq. ft. minimum for non-residential date back at least as far as the City's original Zoning Ordinance, adopted in 1969.

Parkside Area. The Parkside Area is an approximately 25-acre area located between Crocker Industrial Park and Central Brisbane subareas. The Parkside Area is comprised of 11 properties developed with neighborhood commercial, retail, and office, public facilities and parks, and trade commercial uses. Vital community assets in the Parkside Area include the City’s two primary entrances via Valley Drive and Old County Road, as well as the Brisbane Village Shopping Center, Community Park, Brisbane Skate Park, and public basketball courts. The Parkside Area was established by the Parkside at Brisbane Village Precise Plan, the culmination of two-year community visioning and planning process from 2015-2017 to implement the City’s 2015-2022 Housing Element, which designated sites within the Parkside Area subarea for potential residential development.

Crocker Park. Most of the Crocker Park subarea was subdivided in three phases of the Park's development, recorded in 1959, 1965 and 1968. The subdivision of North Hill Drive followed in 1980. Subsequent parcel splits and mergers have resulted in lots ranging in size from 0.56 to

13.23 acres. Current regulations require a 10,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size.

Northeast Ridge. The Northeast Ridge remained unsubdivided until it was recorded as a single parcel in 1975. The vesting tentative subdivision map for the planned development approved in 1989, as subsequently modified, divided the subarea into single-family residential lots (an average of 7,400 sq. ft. each), clusters of condominiums and townhouses (totaling approximately 39 acres), and large tracts of open space.

Northwest Bayshore. The existing irregular pattern of large parcels in the Northwest Bayshore subarea can be traced back to subdivision maps recorded as early as 1915. The subarea is built out with the PG&E Martin substation and 7 Mile House properties.

Guadalupe Hills. The Guadalupe Hills subarea was part of the Northwest Bayshore subarea until 2018, at which time it was designated as a separate General Plan subarea to reflect its different character, as vacant sites, separate from the PG&E substation to the north. It shares the same early subdivision history with Northwest Bayshore.

Baylands. The Baylands subarea is largely unsubdivided, a vestige of the once extensive holdings of the Southern Pacific Transportation Company. Major portions of these holdings located in Brisbane are now owned by Universal Paragon Corporation. The Brisbane Industrial Park portion of the Baylands was established via subdivision in 1969. Lot sizes ranged from

0.23 to 5.663 acres, although subsequent consolidations of ownership have increased the average building site size. The Industrial Park is now under the ownership of UPC and is slated for redevelopment as part of the larger Baylands specific plan. There are parcels in other ownerships scattered throughout the subarea, ranging from approximately 5,000 sq. ft. to 230,000 sq. ft. in size.

Beatty. The Beatty subarea is a haphazard collection of parcels, reflecting a varied history of ownerships. Parcel sizes are generally from 0.176 to 7.043 acres. Most of the properties within this subarea are under the ownership of Recology.

Owl and Buckeye Canons. The Owl and Buckeye Canyons subarea consists of four parcels of land sold by the owners of the Quarry to the California Department of Fish and Game in 1989.

Quarry. The Quarry subarea is divided into four parcels ranging in size from approximately 1.5 to 135 acres.

V.2 THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP AND LAND USE DESIGNATIONS The General Plan Land Use Map
The land use map for the General Plan (Figures LU-1 and LU-2) illustrates the general location of the land use designations given to both public and private properties within the General Plan planning area. For purposes of clarity, the map has been divided into the 14 subareas described earlier in this text. The land use designations used in the map are described below.

Land Use Designations
The descriptions of the General Plan land use designations that follow are broadly drafted, as befits the intent of a General Plan. Specificity of land use by district is the province of the City's Zoning Ordinance. After adoption of a General Plan, the zoning map and zoning district regulations are analyzed to determine whether changes are necessary to conform to the adopted General Plan land use designations and policies.

Commercial/Retail/Office Designations
Neighborhood Commercial/Retail/Office (NCRO) designates a subarea devoted to a range of local retail and service uses, including shops, restaurants, medical, professional and administrative offices and other uses of the same general character. Public and semipublic facilities may be located under this designation. Residential uses may be permitted conditionally in implementing zoning districts. Portions of Central Brisbane and Parkside Area subareas are designated NCRO in the General Plan.

Subregional/Commercial/Retail/Office(SCRO) designates a subarea devoted to subregional retail uses, personal services, restaurants and offices. Public and semi-public facilities and educational institutions may be located under this designation. Commercial recreation, residential uses, warehouse and distribution facilities, research and development, and light industrial uses may be permitted conditionally in implementing zoning districts. The Guadalupe Hills and Southwest Bayshore subareas are designated SCRO. The Guadalupe Hills also has a Planned Development designation, that includes a Specific Plan requirement.

Sierra Point Commercial/Retail/Office (SPCRO) represents a subarea devoted to commercial enterprises, encompassing a wide range of uses, as outlined in the Development Agreement for Sierra Point. Such uses may include, but not be limited to, retail uses, personal services, medical, professional and administrative offices, corporate headquarters, hotels, conference centers and cultural facilities, commercial recreation, restaurants, and other uses of a commercial character. Public and semi-public facilities and educational institutions may be located under this designation.

Heavy Commercial (HC) provides for bulk sales, offices, meeting halls, vehicle storage and equipment maintenance. It also allows outside storage of vehicles and equipment. No materials storage, other than that associated with bulk sales and no processing of materials are permitted. Subareas designated Heavy Commercial are required to have an adopted specific plan to guide development in the area. The Beatty subarea is designated HC in the General Plan.

Subareas designated PD may be combined with other land use designations and/or site specific uses may be included in this Plan to guide the development of implementing zoning district regulations. Subareas designated PD require a specific plan and environmental impact report prior to any development of the property. A minimum of 25% of the surface land of any subarea designated Planned Development shall be in open space and/or open area.

There are three subareas designated PD:

Guadalupe Hills: Planned Development-Subregional Commercial/Retail/Office This subarea was established in 2018. See the SCRO designation for more information regarding future land uses in this area.

Baylands: Planned Development
The July 2018 amendment to the General Plan approved by the voters via passage of Measure JJ in November 2018 (Case GP-1-18) modified the General Plan by defining permitted uses and development intensities for the Baylands as noted below.

The Baylands subarea provides for a transit-oriented variety of residential, employment- and revenue-generating uses; natural resource management; and public and semi-public facilities. A range of 1,800-2,200 dwelling units (the upper range of which shall not exceed all units permitted under the State density bonus or other law providing for affordable housing), up to 6.5 million square feet of new commercial development, with an additional 500,000 square feet of hotel development is permitted. Non-residential development shall be distributed both to the west and to the east of the rail line. Residential uses shall be permitted only in the northwest quadrant of the site bounded by Bayshore Boulevard on the west, the City and County of San Francisco on the north, the Caltrain rail line on the east, and the line of Main Street (extended) DRAFT

As discussed throughout this section there are several other subareas not formally designated residential which allow for residential uses. The Baylands subarea allows for a range of 1,800- 2,200 residential units in the northwesterly corner of the subarea. The Parkside Residential and Trade Commercial (PRTC) subarea allows for a minimum of 228 residential units. Residential uses are also permitted in subareas designated NCRO and SCRO.

Commercial/Public Utilities (C/P-U) represents a mix of commercial and public utility uses. It includes uses such as utility substation facilities and associated warehouse, maintenance and office uses as well as private commercial uses.

Trade Commercial (TC) represents a mix of commercial uses including warehouses, distribution facilities, offices, retail uses, restaurants, commercial recreation, personal services, as well as light industrial, research and development, and uses of a similar character. Public and semipublic facilities and educational institutions may be located under this designation. Repair and maintenance services, such as auto body repair shops, may be conditionally permitted in the implementing zoning districts. In such districts, certain individual or groups of uses may predominate, thus distinguishing the districts one from the other. In the General Plan, Crocker Park and Southeast Bayshore are designated TC. Also see Parkside Residential and Trade Commercial designations.

Parkside Residential and Trade Commercial (PRTC) includes single-family and multi-family residential developments and trade commercial uses, as allowed under the Trade Commercial land use designation. For the Parkside Area subarea, the densities applied will result in a minimum of 228 dwelling units. Residential development in the Parkside Area is subject to compliance with the development standards and design guidelines established by the Parkside at Brisbane Village Precise Plan, adopted by the City Council in 2017.

The range of residential density for the Parkside Residential and Trade Commercial designation is 20-28 units per acre.

V.3 DENSITY AND INTENSITY STANDARDS
The Government Code requires that a General Plan include an indication of density and intensity of use for the land use designations in the Plan. The language of the Code reads:

GC 65302(a): The land use element shall include a statement of the standards of population density and building intensity recommended for the various districts and other territory covered by the plan.

These standards represent overall policy objectives that are implemented through the zoning district regulations. General Plan standards represent broad ranges, whereas zoning regulations establish specific development standards, such as height limits, setbacks, coverage and site area, that must fall within the General Plan range. After adoption of a General Plan, the zoning districts are reviewed and amended, as necessary, to bring them into consistency and best reflect the policy direction of the Plan.

Population Density
The populations that can be expected in an area on a predictable, daily basis for the land use designations in this Plan are represented in Table 1. For the residential designations in the General Plan, population is given in terms of number of residents and for nonresidential designations, by number of employees. The residential density is based on the number of housing units per acre and the average household size identified in the 1990 Census.(1) For nonresidential land use designations, the number of employees per 1,000 square feet of floor area is used. These numbers represent common standards employed for economic analysis.(2) Because the General Plan land use designations contain a range of uses, employee population density is expressed in ranges.

Building Intensity
The range of building intensity for the various residential land use designations in the General Plan is listed in Table 1. The intensity is expressed in terms of units per acre.

Building intensity for non-residential designations is expressed in a floor area ratio (FAR) formula. The formula relates the square footage within a building to the acreage upon which it sits. A floor area ratio is a very general indicator which must be further defined in zoning district regulations before any development can occur.

The Baylands, Quarry and Guadalupe Hills Subareas are designated Planned Development because these subareas require extensive site investigation and planning before the most beneficial development patterns can be determined. The policies in Chapter XII require, for each of these subareas, a specific plan and environmental impact report before any development can occur. Until these studies are completed and new information evaluated that can be used to refine the FAR standards, the FARs given in Table 1 represent standards that are comparable to those of subareas with similar uses and environmental constraints.

Specific plans for the Baylands shall distinguish between the areas north and south of the Bayshore Basin drainage channel as shown in Table 1 and further described below:

Policy LU.2: Development south of the Bayshore Basin drainage channel shall maintain a low profile, permitting low or mid-rise buildings, not to exceed six stories in height, in order to preserve the existing views of San Francisco and San Francisco Bay as seen from Central Brisbane, and to maximize the amount of landscape and open space or open area in this portion of the subarea.

It should be noted that the intent of the FARs density/intensity given for the Baylands in Table 1 is to accommodate diversity in the height and intensity of structures in order to encourage interesting, flexible and variable development. In no event shall the FARs shown in Table 1 be interpreted as permitting the maximum intensities to be established throughout the subarea. The City will expect specific plans to emphasize intensities well below those figures. See Program BL.4.b for further direction addressing the design of buildings and building groups in the Baylands.

V.4 LAND USE POLICIES
Question: What do you like most about living in Brisbane:

Respondent: "I like the "touch of country in the City"
atmosphere. I like the naturalness of the canyons in which we live--seeing the beauty of the Mountain at all
hours...The quietness of Brisbane, its peace, are beautiful.

The community is close, vital and neighborly. Care and
concern about the type of development, building codes and quality of life is important ... Let's uphold a strong
standard, high quality of life."
General Plan Issues Questionnaire (GP-5)
The combination of land uses, topography, natural features, subdivision patterns, streets, buildings, landscape, open areas and open spaces makes up Brisbane's physical character. The following pages contain policies and programs pertaining to both the mix of land uses and the physical character of the community. Policies are grouped under six headings: General Principles, Bay and Mountain Setting, Nature and Character of Development, Open Space and Open Areas, Streets, and Subdivision Patterns.

General Principles
Policy LU.3 Establish a mix of land uses that best serves the needs of the community.

Program LU.3.a: When evaluating land uses, consider whether a use would result in adverse impacts on existing and proposed land uses nearby, and whether those impacts can be mitigated.

Policy LU.4 Integrate physical, social, environmental and financial elements of the community for the benefit of current and future residents.

Policy LU.5 Establish a mix of uses with a diversified economic base to maintain and increase tax revenues and contribute to the City's ability to provide services.

Policy LU.6 Adopt development standards which protect and enhance the quality of life in Brisbane.

Program LU.6a: When drafting development standards, consider preserving a sense of openness in the design of structures and sites and the access to sky and sunlight for both new construction and renovation projects.

DRAFT

EXHIBIT D

ATTACHMENT 1

V-18
Policy LU.7 Enhance communications and information sharing with adjacent jurisdictions at early stages of project development in order to address issues of mutual concern.

Bay and Mountain Setting
Policy LU.8 Acknowledge the mountain setting and the proximity to the Bay as central factors in forming the physical character of the City.

Program LU.8.a: In making land use decisions, consider the proximity of open space on San Bruno Mountain and public views of and access to the Bay as issues to be addressed.

Policy LU.9 Preserve the ridgelines and hilltops in their open state.

Program LU.9.a: Prohibit land use changes that would result in development that would break the natural ridgeline.

Program LU.9.b: Adopt hillside development standards that protect against ridgeline development through regulation of the siting of structures, location of access, landscape requirements and other pertinent factors.

Policy LU.10 Respect the topography of the Mountain in design and construction.

Program LU.10.a: In conjunction with land use development applications, encourage options that minimize grading and transformation of the landform and fit comfortably with the topography.

Policy LU.11 In the context of respecting private property rights, make every effort to preserve and enhance public views of the Mountain and the Bay.

Program LU.11.a: Identify and map vistas and view corridors of community-wide value to be preserved and enhanced.

Program LU.11.b: Consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to provide for site plan review to assure that identified vistas and public view corridors remain accessible for public enjoyment. The review should evaluate building placement, height and bulk.

Program LU.11.c: In reevaluating the tree protection ordinance and landscaping requirements, consider the trade-off between desirability of foliage versus the DRAFT
preservation of views and access to sunlight.

V-19
Nature and Character of Development
The diversity of structures in Brisbane is central to the existing physical character of the City. It is a reflection of a City that developed lot by lot, of many different hands building to meet individual needs over the years. It is in the nature of cities that structures are built, changed, demolished and rebuilt as the years go by, and that demographic changes, economic factors, safety standards and personal preference affect the size, scale and appearance of development, as well as building codes and zoning standards.

The following policies emphasize Brisbane's desire to retain and continue to encourage diversity and individual expression as changes occur in the built environment, while encouraging quality construction and the upgrading and on-going maintenance of existing structures.

Policy LU.12 Retain diversity of development and individual expression in residential and commercial development, especially in Central Brisbane.

Program LU.12.a: Review the R and C-2 District regulations to ascertain if amendments would help preserve the diversity of existing development.

Program LU.12.b: Consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to prohibit issuance of a building permit for a single family dwelling on a lot of record when the design is essentially the same as that on any immediately adjacent lot.

Policy LU.13 Respect Brisbane's vernacular architectural heritage.

Policy LU.14 Provide clear performance standards in the Municipal Code for the physical character of all land use developments on private property.

Program LU.14.a: Consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance which contain clear and defined standards to protect creativity and diversity in design while addressing issues of height, scale, mass and articulation.

Program LU.14.b: Review existing height limits in existing land use districts to determine whether current regulations result in structures appropriate in height and scale to the physical character of the City.

Program LU.14.c: Review the residential parking requirements in the Zoning Ordinance to determine their effect on the height, mass and scale of structures and grading implications and whether amendments to the Code should be considered.

Program LU.14.d Establish height limits for new zoning districts, taking into consideration the geology and topography of the area, as well as impacts to adjacent uses.

DRAFT

EXHIBIT D

ATTACHMENT 1

V-20
Program LU.14e: Establish clear and defined performance standards in the Zoning Ordinance for buildings and signs visible from the hillsides of Central Brisbane. Standards should address light and glare, the treatment of roofs and the screening of mechanical equipment.

Program LU.14.f: Consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to establish standards for protecting the character of the existing residential Central Brisbane subarea, including attention to scale, juxtapositions, views, natural topography and ecological protection.

Program LU.14.g: Amend the Zoning Ordinance to prohibit tall smokestacks and industrial towers.

Program LU.14.h: Amend the Zoning Ordinance to require that large parking lots be broken up by landscaped areas and parkway strips.

Policy LU.15 Encourage the maintenance and upgrading of structures and sites that have played important roles in the City's history.

Program LU.15.a: Provide courtesy inspections of historic structures and sites to advise owners of needed corrections and repairs.

Program LU.15.b: Provide information to owners of historic structures regarding State tax incentives for rehabilitation.

Program LU.15.c: Seek official designation of historical structures and sites and pursue all means of ensuring their permanent preservation.

Policy LU.16 Encourage the maintenance and upgrading of residential and nonresidential structures to improve safety and appearance.

Program LU.16.a: Prevent blight and deterioration by providing public information and enforcing health and safety codes.

Program LU.16.b: Seek funding sources, such as low-interest loans and grants for rehabilitation of existing structures, and encourage property owners to take advantage of such programs.

The physical character of the community is an essential part of the "glue" that holds the community together. Knowing neighbors and merchants, meeting residents as a part of daily business, and attending community events at regular locations all contribute to the sense of community and all are directly affected by the arrangement of the physical environment.

Policy LU.17 Encourage interaction and involvement among neighbors on a day-today basis and foster a sense of security in the community through the design and location of private development and public improvements.

Program LU.17.a: Establish the Central Brisbane subarea as the "town center" and the hub of civic activities.

Program LU.17.b: As outer areas develop, assure connections and compatibility with the existing community.

Policy LU.18 Locate and design commercial recreational facilities and services so as to encourage use by a broad spectrum of Brisbane residents and businesses.

Program LU.18.a: Consider access for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians in conjunction with the siting of commercial services and recreational facilities.

Program LU.18.b: Require all commercial services and public facilities to be accessible to persons with disabilities in accordance with State and Federal regulations.

Policy LU.19 Provide centrally located public facilities for public services and community events so as to maximize use by Brisbane residents and businesses.

Program LU.19.a: As a part of the City's Capital Improvement Planning, consider the need for and appropriate location of public facilities, such as a City Hall, Community Center, Recreation Center and Police Station.

Program LU.19.b: Improve the Old County Road site as a central gathering point for community events.

Program LU.19.c: Continue to maintain and upgrade the Community Center.

Program LU.19.d: In coordination with the School District, continue shared community use of District facilities
Program LU.19.e: Determine the best civic use for the Old Fire Station site on San Bruno Avenue.

Open Areas
The developed community consists of a pattern of built structures and open areas. Open areas are defined below:

Open areas are parcels of land or portions thereof, primarily in private ownership, that serve to soften the impacts of urban development and otherwise provide primarily green areas and a feeling of "openness" to the development pattern. Open areas include, but are not limited to, setbacks and easements that are landscaped or characterized by native vegetation, gardens and landscaped vegetation. Open areas might also include golf courses, private parks and recreation areas within private developments. An open area may consist of a combination of hardscape and DRAFT

EXHIBIT D

ATTACHMENT 1

V-22
landscape, typical of plazas, sculpture gardens and gathering places. Streets, sidewalks, parking lots and similar improvements, although not covered by structures, do not qualify as open areas.

The policies in this section address only these open areas. (For the definition of Open Space see page 111 and for policies on Open Space and Aquatic Areas, refer to Chapter VII.) Table 2 provides examples of the various types of open areas that could be provided in accordance with General Plan policy. To the extent that the development pattern is governed by code requirements that establish parameters for design and placement of improvements, the provision of open areas stems directly from City regulations. Most requirements for open areas will be formulated as part of the zoning regulations. It should be noted that in this chapter, the policy for subareas designated Planned Development establishes a minimum of 25% of the surface land, not including aquatic areas, to be preserved as either open space or open areas.

The following policies and programs speak to the provision of open areas in Brisbane's development pattern and the intent to preserve a sense of openness and avoid the feeling of increasing density.

Policy LU.20 The establishment of open areas within private developments shall be utilized as a means of preserving unique environmental features on the site or avoiding the appearance of excessive bulk or concentration of structures.

Policy LU.21 Preserve open areas with biological value and/or significant topographic characteristics at the perimeter of the City that maintain Brisbane as separate and distinct from nearby communities.

Policy LU.22 Retain sufficient open areas between structures to meet safety requirements, protect privacy and provide opportunities for landscaping.

Program LU.22.a: Review the setback, lot coverage and landscape requirements in the Zoning Ordinance to assure adequate open areas in the development pattern.

Program LU.22.b: Adopt new zoning regulations, as necessary, with specific qualifying requirements for open areas and square footage and for percentage minimum standards for all development districts.

Program LU.22.c: In all multi-structure development proposals, consider the DRAFT
pattern of open areas as an integral part of the development concept.

Program LU.23.a: Establish minimum setback requirements from the Brisbane Lagoon, Levinson Marsh, and other designated aquatic areas consistent with good planning and conservation practices in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game.

Policy LU.24 Combine the benefits of open areas with the establishment of safety buffers and conservation areas.

Program LU.24.a: Consider a setback requirement to achieve separation from areas of wildland fire hazard.

Program LU.24.b: Consider hillside development standards that retain steep slopes as open areas.

Policy LU.25 Respect the historic pattern of open areas in Central Brisbane and retain this character in conjunction with the rehabilitation of existing structures when consistent with good planning and safety practices.

Program LU.25.a: Review the Zoning Ordinance for opportunities to retain certain parking and setback nonconformities that contribute to the historic pattern of open areas in Central Brisbane.

Program LU.25.b: Review the parking and setback requirements in the Zoning Ordinance to ascertain how the requirements affect the pattern of open areas and whether amendments to the Code could provide more open areas and landscape along the street right-of-way.

Program LU.25.c: Underground utilities in conjunction with all new development.

Program LU.25.d: If economically feasible, underground utilities in conjunction with street reconstruction.

Policy LU.26 Keep open areas and opportunities for landscaping along arterial and collector streets by establishing setbacks from the right-of-way.

Program LU.26.a: Examine district regulations to ascertain whether amendments to the Code are necessary to provide adequate setbacks to establish open areas along the right-of-way.

Streets
Streets serve to bridge the various parts of the community. They are important both in their function and in their physical expression. In Brisbane, residential streets have a unique character based on their relationship to the topography and their historical development. Likewise, some streets serving non-residential areas still reflect their origins as early highways and haul roads.

In cities, with the passage of years, streets require repair and reconstruction as well as modification to meet current safety standards. As vacant lands develop, new streets may be constructed. The following policies address the desired physical character of both new and existing streets in Brisbane (see the chapters on Transportation and Circulation, and Community Health and Safety for additional policies on streets):

Policy LU.27 In conjunction with safety improvements to existing streets, retain the historic character of the City to the greatest extent feasible.

Program LU.27.a: If safety standards are met, retain and enhance unique features such as rock escarpments, retaining walls, "gateways" (such as the entry to Crocker Park) and historic, aged trees.

Policy LU.28 Design new streets to be attractive and comfortable for pedestrians and bicyclists, and to safely accommodate vehicular traffic. Street configuration, landscape and signage should all be considered as they contribute to community character.

Program LU.28.a: Require landscaping along all major arterial streets.

Program LU.28.b: Construct landscaped medians where appropriate in arterial streets.

Program LU.28.c: Use drought resistant, water-conserving non-invasive plant materials that reflect local character.

Program LU.28.d: Continue to implement a street tree planting and management program and improve it as appropriate.

Program LU.28.e: Improve the program for street and directional signs Program LU.28.f: Prohibit new commercial billboard sites and seek to remove those currently in place.

Program LU.28.g: Provide standards in the Municipal Code to assure that abutting properties have adequate separation from travelways and protection from noise and other traffic impacts
Program LU.28.h: Consider funding methods, such as landscape assessment districts, to install and maintain improvements within rights-of-way.

Program LU.28.i: Work with appropriate State and County agencies, private organizations, service clubs and property owners to maintain an attractive appearance of major thoroughfares
Program LU.28.j: Encourage environmental groups, local service clubs, individuals and local businesses to "adopt a street" to support litter removal and encourage volunteer beautification projects along streets and remaining rightsof-way Program LU.28.k: Discourage wind channelization when approving new streets.

Subdivision Pattern

CHAPTER VI

CIRCULATION ELEMENT
This circulation element addresses how the City of Brisbane will maintain, enhance and expand its circulation system to best meet the needs of its residents, business community, and visitors travelling to, from or through Brisbane.

Key considerations in Brisbane’s circulation system planning are to recognize the land use context within the various areas of the City and the existing geographic or physical constraints in those areas, while at the same time recognizing opportunities for improvements and potential connections within the larger regional circulation network that will best serve the community. These considerations are reflected in Brisbane’s circulation element goals, as detailed on the previous page, as well as through the policies and programs that follow.

In working to enhance both the local function of the circulation network and its regional connections, Brisbane will continue in its collaborative efforts with other local and regional agencies and will continue to seek various regional, state, and federal funding resources for projects which are of local and regional concern.

Brisbane’s goals are consistent with the state and regional goals which are expressed through the Bay Area’s Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments’ (ABAG’s), “Plan Bay Area” and the intent of the California Complete Streets Act of 2008 (AB 1358, Leno), codified in Sections 65040.2 and 65302 of the Government Code.

VI.10 San Francisco-San Mateo Bi-County Transportation Study Certain aspects of this element address broad policy issues while others are more detailed implementation programs. Given the technical nature of transportation issues, engineering analysis and judgment are integral to the implementation of the element. Where policies or programs refer to a City action, they may include tasks or decisions involving City Council and potentially multiple City departments, and/or professional engineering work under the responsible charge of the City Engineer. This is determined on a case-by-case basis, by the City, consistent with state law regulating the work to be done by qualified, licensed engineering professionals.

Figures C.1 and C.2 show the circulation system within the planning area, including the major thoroughfares as well as the local street network. Figure C.3 illustrates changes to the circulation system in the planning area.

VI.1 DESCRIPTION OF CIRCULATION SYSTEM
Streets and Highways
The San Francisco Bay and San Bruno Mountain are the major determinants of the geographic layout of the street and highway system serving the planning area, with Highway 101 and Bayshore Boulevard serving as the main transportation corridors to, through and within the City. The following provides a brief outline of the major streets and highways. Streets or highways are assigned a functional classification, based on a hierarchy of the function and vehicular travel movement capacity.

1. Regional Routes: Regional Routes are roadways and highways that cross county boundaries and/or carry large volumes of through traffic to and from locations outside of Brisbane that does not have a destination within the City other than the Bayshore Caltrain station. The need to distinguish mobility issues and policies along Regional Routes from issues and policies facing other roadways within the City is demonstrated by:
• Increased vehicular congestion that will occur within Brisbane along these routes due to the large amount of development being approved in cities to the north and south of Brisbane;
• Adoption of SB 743, which calls for balancing the need for infill residential, commercial, employment-generating, and mixed use development in proximity to transit and the need for reducing greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions with the need for addressing vehicular traffic congestion;

• SB 743 CEQA Guidelines, approved in December 2018 that eliminate traffic congestion as a significant impact under CEQA;
• The US 101 freeway is owned, operated, and maintained by the State of California.

Changes to the freeway and its interchanges are subject to review and approval by Caltrans. In practice, physical modifications to the freeway and its interchanges are more influencdedinfluenced by regional traffic patterns and regional organizations such as MTC and C/CAG than by local needs; and
• Limited capacity for widening of the 101 freeway and Bayshore Boulevard to accommodate vehicular traffic generated outside of the City, along with the limited ability of the City of Brisbane to make meaningful freeway improvements.

Two types of Regional Routes occur within Brisbane:
a. Freeways: Freeways are limited access, high-speed travel-ways, which are included in the state and federal highway systems. They carry regional through traffic, and access is provided at interchanges, generally at intervals of one mile or greater. Brisbane has one freeway, U.S. Highway 101, along its eastern edge.
b. Regional Arterials: Regional Arterials are major streets, such as Bayshore Boulevard and the Geneva Avenue extension that serve regional functions and carry large volumes of traffic generated from outside of Brisbane that does not have a destination within the City.

2. Principal and minor arterials: Arterials are major streets that primarily serve through traffic and on a limited basis they may provide access to abutting properties. They are generally designed with 4 to 6 lanes and major intersections are usually signalized. Brisbane has both principal and minor arterials, with the minor arterials in Brisbane being only two lanes, except for the eastern portion of Valley Drive, which is four lanes.

3. Major and Minor collectors: Collector streets connect arterial streets and local streets with reduced traffic volumes and generally narrower roadways than the arterials. They generally have two travel lanes, parking lanes, sidewalks, and street trees or planting strips.

4. Local: Local streets provide access to individual abutting properties as their primary function.

Local streets have no more than two travel lanes.

4.5. Green Shared Street: Green Shared Streets provide direct access to residential areas. They prioritize pedestrians and bicyclists, while accommodating bidirectional vehicular movements within one shared, mixed travel lane. Design elements include a curbless cross-section, street furnishings, and traffic calming measures.

The street classifications within Brisbane are generally described as follows:

Regional Routes
U.S. Highway 101- Freeway: The U.S. 101 freeway traverses the eastern edge of Brisbane and is the main corridor serving north-south traffic along the San Francisco Peninsula between the Santa Clara DRAFT

EXHIBIT E

ATTACHMENT 1

VI-9
Valley and San Jose to the south and San Francisco to the north. Highway 101 on- and off-ramps within Brisbane are currently limited to those at Beatty Avenue and the north and south ends of Sierra Point Parkway.

Bayshore Boulevard: Bayshore Boulevard is a decommissioned State Highway and is now a City owned and maintained arterial roadway. Bayshore Boulevard serves as the City’s primary north-south transportation route, connecting Brisbane to San Francisco, Daly City, and South San Francisco. Together with its connecting minor arterial streets, Bayshore Boulevard also provides linkages to and from Highway 101. As a result, Bayshore Boulevard’s performance affects all traffic access and circulation through the City.

Bayshore Boulevard functions primarily as a regional roadway through the City of Brisbane. Peak hour congestion along Highway 101 causes traffic to be diverted from the freeway onto Bayshore Boulevard through the City of Brisbane as motorists attempt to avoid congested freeway traffic. Depending on the time of day and location, regional through traffic makes up 60 to 80 percent of traffic on Bayshore Boulevard. On a daily basis, only 10 to 15 percent of all trips on Bayshore Boulevard are generated from Brisbane’s residential neighborhoods and 15 to 20 percent are generated by Brisbane’s employment centers. The majority of traffic on Bayshore Boulevard within Brisbane is between San Francisco and cities to the south, with a smaller amount (approximately 15 percent of all trips) traveling between Daly City and the cities to the south.

A principal challenge for the City is maintaining vehicular mobility for Brisbane residents and businesses along Bayshore Boulevard. As large-scale developments occur in cities to the north and south of Brisbane, regional through traffic and congestion on Bayshore Boulevard is projected to increase. It is also important that Bayshore Boulevard provide safe access and egress for sites located along its frontage while maintaining its ability to move vehicles through the City. Another issue is providing for safe and comfortable access for bicyclists and pedestrians. In 2008 and 2011, bikeways were completed on both sides of Bayshore Boulevard, in part with funding obtained by the City through the California Transportation Development Act. These bikeways include 6 foot wide striped bike shoulders and rumble strips, which have enhanced their function within the regional bikeway network and have helped address bicycle access and safety.

Questions for the future remain regarding the function and design of Bayshore Boulevard and how it to best address the way this roadway is being used by regional through traffic, while meeting the mobility needs of the local community.

Along with approval of the Baylands Specific Plan, the City adopted the Bayshore Mobility Plan, a vision for the future of Bayshore Boulevard. It includes the following goals:
• Enhance connectivity for residents and land uses abutting Bayshore Boulevard; • Increase connectivity between the Baylands and the City of Brisbane for people traveling along and crossing Bayshore Boulevard;
• Reduce the prominence of regional through-traffic along Bayshore Boulevard by implementing a road diet;
• Redesign Bayshore Boulevard as a multi-modal corridor to increase the level of comfort and safety for all roadway users including automobiles, emergency response vehicles, transit vehicles, trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians in accordance with General Plan Policy C.1 to “provide for comfortable and safe travel within the community to shopping, employment, and recreation, as well as to transit” and the recommendations of the 2022 Complete Streets Safety Assessment; and
DRAFT

• Improve the look of the corridor, providing opportunities for landscaping, gateway features, wayfinding, and other features that increase the prominence of the roadway as a route local route for Baylands residents rather than a regional cut-through route.

Geneva Avenue: Geneva Avenue is currently an east-west arterial within the jurisdiction of Daly City with its current eastern terminus at Bayshore Boulevard, providing a link between Brisbane and Daly City. Upon development of the Baylands, an extension of Geneva Avenue will be constructed through the Baylands. The Geneva Avenue extension will serve as the primary east-west connection through the Baylands and as an important connection to Highway 101 for traffic generated within both Brisbane and Daly City. A new interchange for Geneva Avenue at Highway 101 would be constructed to replace the current Highway 101 on- and off-ramp interchange at Alana Way and Harney Way with a new more efficient interchange configuration known as the Candlestick Interchange.

Principal Arterials
Guadalupe Canyon Parkway: Guadalupe Canyon Parkway is an east-west principal arterial with its eastern terminus at Bayshore Boulevard, providing links to Daly City.

Alana Way & Harney Way: Short segments of Alana Way and Harney Way are within Brisbane and serve as principal arterials connecting to Highway 101 from Beatty Ave. in Brisbane and Harney Way at Candlestick Point.

Minor Arterials
Visitacion and San Bruno Avenues connect with Old County Road in Central Brisbane and all three streets serve as minor arterials for this area. Old County Road becomes Tunnel Avenue as it crosses over Bayshore Boulevard, and connects with Beatty Avenue and Lagoon Way. Lagoon Way then connects with Sierra Point Parkway. All of these are classified as minor arterials. Similarly, Valley Drive (eastern portion), North Hill Drive and the eastern portion of Mission Blue Drive serve as minor arterials in the Crocker Park and Northeast Ridge subareas.

Tunnel Avenue provides an alternative to Bayshore Boulevard, while Sierra Point Parkway provides access/egress for the Sierra Point subarea. The Tunnel Avenue railroad overpass was replaced in 2007 to meet current seismic safety standards, to improve the geometry of the crossing, and to provide bike and pedestrian lanes. These improvements have added significantly to the viability of Tunnel Avenue as an alternative to Bayshore Boulevard. The remaining portions of Tunnel Avenue and its connecting streets will also be further improved upon development of the Baylands.

Lagoon Way serves as the east-west connection between Central Brisbane and access to southbound Highway 101, via Tunnel Avenue. Beatty Avenue likewise serves as a connection to and from the northeast corner of the City, from Tunnel Avenue to access to north and southbound Highway 101.

The challenge facing Brisbane for minor arterial streets is to evaluate these on a case-by-case basis relative to the goals, policies and programs, to define how they can be modified to enhance and provide alternative modes of transportation and to secure funding sources to implement improvements that are DRAFT

EXHIBIT E

ATTACHMENT 1

VI-11
determined to be a priority by the City.

Major Collector Streets
Major collector streets include Humboldt Road, Glen Parkway, a portion of Monterey Street and a portion of Visitacion Avenue, which connect several local streets within the residential area of Central Brisbane.

The western portions of both Valley Drive in Crocker Park and Mission Blue Drive in the Northeast Ridge are also classified as major collectors, as is Monarch Drive and the eastern portion of West Hill Drive, which connect Crocker Park and the Northeast Ridge subareas. Within the northern portion of the Baylands Specific Plan, Main Street, East Campus Road, Campus Parkway, and Sunnydale Avenue are east-west collectors, and Baylands Boulevard is a north-south collector.

The challenges for the major collector streets are, as stated above for the minor arterials, to define how they can be modified to enhance and provide alternative modes of transportation and to secure funding sources to implement improvements.

Local Streets
Local streets serve most of the residential areas of Central Brisbane, and the Northeast Ridge, and the Baylands Specific Plansubarea. While the Northeast Ridge and Baylands Specific Plan is are a more recent developments and the streets were are or will be built to meet modern standards, Central Brisbane’s existing development pattern poses significant challenges in providing separation between vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians, due to existing street widths and steep topography. These challenges increase from the lower Central Brisbane streets to the very steep and narrow upper streets. While separate travel lanes are limited along those streets, the roadway geometry necessitates low vehicle speeds on these shared roadways, thus mitigating some of the need for wider roadway sections.

Green Shared Streets:

The Green shared street classification is a street classification unique to The Baylands subarea. Green shared streets are curbless, streets located in residential areas that prioritize pedestrians and bicycles and are designed for slow speeds and shared use with automobiles. Examples would include residential streets within the Roundhouse and Bayshore districts of the Baylands Specific Plan.

TRANSIT SYSTEMS
Brisbane is served by the following transit systems connecting to regional destinations:
• San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans)
• Caltrain
• Local shuttle service
DRAFT

EXHIBIT E

ATTACHMENT 1

VI-12
Currently in Brisbane, SamTrans runs bus routes along Bayshore Boulevard seven days a week, and the Bayshore Caltrain station is located at the northern border of the City. Both the bus line and train lines generally run north-south. Transfers to reach other destinations off these north-south lines generally involve long wait times and often there are disconnects between the different modes of transportation.

For example, the Bayshore Caltrain station is approximately 1-½ miles from Central Brisbane, and the SamTrans bus line serving Central Brisbane currently does not connect to the Caltrain station. The stops between SamTrans and Caltrain at the north end of Brisbane are approximately ½-mile walking distance apart. Improvement of these connections and development of a multi-modal station at the northern end of Brisbane are proposed to be implemented as part of the Baylands development.

San Francisco’s Muni Metro Light Rail System extends to Bayshore Boulevard and Sunnydale Avenue near the northern border of Brisbane. Connectivity to a multi-modal transit facility is anticipated under the Baylands development.

Private and public commuter shuttles provide service to and from Brisbane’s commercial areas of Sierra Point and Crocker Park and along Old County Road and San Bruno Avenue to regional transit connections and to the Daly City Bayshore neighborhood. A new, fare-free shuttle system will be provided to integrate new development within the Baylands as set forth in the Baylands Specific Plan into existing routes that connect Brisbane with regional transit networks. Service within the western side of the Baylands will terminate at the Bayshore Caltrain station and Downtown Brisbane and service on the eastern side will integrate the Campus East District, including Lagoon Park, and terminate on the east side of the Bayshore Caltrain station and Downtown Brisbane. While these shuttle services pick up some of the slack in the local transit system, significant improvements are needed on a regional basis to begin to meet the goals outlined in “Transportation 2030” and Brisbane’s own General Plan. Shuttle scheduling information may be found on the websites www.commute.org and/or www.samtrans.org VI. 2 TRAFFIC FLOW, CONVENIENCE AND ACCESS
Roadway Performance
Historically, vehicular traffic congestion and roadway performance standards such as level of service (LOS) have been used in three different ways.

1. For roadway and freeway planning as part of a City’s General Plan or a regional transportation plan to determine the number of lanes needed along roadways or freeways to accommodate anticipated traffic volumes consistent with the applicable LOS standard.

2. For roadway or freeway improvements undertaken by a public agency to determine when a roadway or freeway needs to be widened or when additional turn lanes or through lanes are needed at an intersection to meet the applicable LOS standard.

3. To analyze in a CEQA document how the traffic generated by a proposed development project would cause or increase congestion. At intersections where a proposed project would cause LOS standards to be exceeded, mitigation measures in the form of adding capacity at intersection(s), widening roadway(s), or providing signalization would then be required to mitigate the traffic impacts of the development project and thereby maintain applicable LOS standards.

Thus, the use of level of service standards has aimed at expanding the capacity of roadway and highway DRAFT

systems to accommodate projected increasing volumes of vehicular traffic.

In recent years, however, climate change has become a matter of critical concern as greenhouse gas (GHG) levels in the atmosphere have increased dramatically due to human activity with the transportation sector (including private automobiles) being one of the largest producers of GHG emissions. In California, targets for GHG emission reductions have been established and substantial regulatory efforts are underway to ensure that these reduction targets are met. Reducing the amount of automobile travel throughout the state is one of the major strategies being put forth to reduce GHG emissions.

Policy C.1 Design the City’s roadway system to emphasize mobility for Brisbane residents and businesses, accommodate bicycle and pedestrian in addition to vehicular movement, and provide for comfortable and safe travel within the community to shopping, employment, and recreation, as well as to transit and the Highway 101 freeway.

Program C.1.a Consult with Caltrans, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, San Francisco Transportation Authority, San Mateo County Transportation Authority, C/CAG, and others to develop and fund programs including physical improvements, enhanced use of transit, and transportation demand management, to maximize the ability of the 101 freeway to accommodate regional through traffic.

Program C.1.b Develop design plans for Bayshore Boulevard, the Geneva Avenue extension, and interchanges along the 101 freeway that address the effects of regional through traffic within Brisbane and enhances mobility for Brisbane residents and businesses through a combination of roadway and intersection, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facility improvements that would not cause a substantial increase in vehicle miles travelled (VMT) on Bayshore Boulevard or other routes through the City. As part of this design plan, evaluate (1) whether changes in design speeds along Bayshore Boulevard could improve mobility within the City; (2) the feasibility of shifting a portion of regional through traffic from Bayshore Boulevard onto other routes, such as Sierra Point Parkway by extending that roadway north to the 101 freeway interchange at Beatty Avenue, and (3) appropriate routing of trucks to and from the Crocker Park area.

Program C.1.c Prepare, adopt, and implement a mobility improvement fee program to fund the multi-modal improvements called for in the design plan for Bayshore Boulevard and interchanges along the 101 freeway.

Program C.1.d Rather than undertake multiple traffic impact analyses to evaluate individual intersections along Bayshore Boulevard, Geneva Avenue, and at intersections along the 101 freeway, require new development projects that would generate 50 or more peak hour trips at any intersection along Bayshore Boulevard, Geneva Avenue, or at intersections along the 101 freeway to comply with the design plan developed pursuant to Program C.1.c and either provide physical improvements consistent with the plan or pay established traffic impact fees as directed by the Public Works Director .

Policy C.2 The level of service objective for principal and minor arterial streets within the City is LOS "D."
Program C.2a Require development projects that would generate 50 or more peak hour trips at an arterial street intersection to prepare a traffic impact analysis.

Program C.2.b In lieu of requiring individual development projects to prepare traffic impact analyses to evaluate intersections and require mitigation measures for impacts at DRAFT

intersections along principal and minor arterials streets, consider developing a program of impact fees to fund multi-modal improvements and reduce automobile traffic generation in coordination with the San Mateo County Congestion Management Plan, as applicable.

Policy C.3 Design turning movements and traffic signal timing at intersections so as to avoid the queueing of vehicles at intersection from backing up and adversely affecting operations at another intersection. Design turning movements and traffic signal timing at freeway interchanges cause queueing of vehicles from the intersection onto the freeway mainline.

North-South and East-West Corridors
Policy C.4 Plan for an additional east-west corridor to redirect non-destination traffic away from Bayshore Boulevard and to provide more direct access to Highway 101.

Program C.4.a Pursue an extension of Geneva Avenue, connecting with the Candlestick Highway 101 Interchange that provides for bus rapid transit and connection to the Bayshore Caltrain station.

Program C.4.b Consult with Caltrans in the design of the Candlestick Highway 101 Interchange to assure the best connection with the Geneva Avenue Extension.

Program C.4.c Require that all east-west corridor rail crossings are grade-separated (i.e., not at-grade) to the extent permitted by law.

Policy C.5 Continue to upgrade north-south arterial and collector streets while providing the appropriate level of service.

Program C.5.a Require the upgrade of Tunnel Avenue to current codes and safety standards.

Policy C.6 Investigate and pursue alternative means of access to and egress from Sierra Point and investigate additional emergency access alternatives.

Policy C.7 Investigate and pursue traffic calming features for Visitacion Avenue, Old County Road and San Bruno Avenue to provide for greater pedestrian comfort and safety at street crossings.

Program C.8.a Consult with Caltrans in regard to street standards when a City street is a connector or ramp to a State route.

Policy C.9 For local residential streets in Central Brisbane, continue to require a minimum unobstructed street width of 20 feet, as required by the Uniform Fire Code.

Program C.9.a Permit exceptions that meet the required findings set forth in the Municipal Code.

Policy C.10 The City Engineer shall consider the following factors during plan review as they apply to residential, residential hillside, and commercial streets:
• grade
• topography
• average lot frontage size
• number of lots and potential intensity of development • maximum block length
• maximum length of cul-de-sac streets
• length of street in relation to number of units served • turnarounds

VI. 3 TRAFFIC SAFETY
Local Residential Streets
Policy C.12 Maintain and improve local residential streets to accommodate safe access for emergency vehicles and evacuation routes for residents.

Policy C.13 As a part of the budget and capital improvement planning process, consider opportunities to incorporate safety standards and/or widen hillside streets to current city adopted standards.

Policy C.14 Develop a prioritized program for improvements to existing substandard City streets to include such things as street widening, turnarounds and the feasibility of secondary emergency access, and improving on-street parking.

Program C.14.a Investigate the feasibility of undergrounding utilities to mitigate potential traffic hazards, such as downed lines in a fire.

Program C.14.b Consider opportunities and funding to enhance safety on steep streets.

Policy C.15 Post and actively enforce the 25-mile per hour (mph) maximum speed limit in Central Brisbane and 15 mph on identified street segments near the schools, and investigate creating speed limit zones lower than 25 mph in other areas of Central Brisbane where appropriate.

Policy C.16 Promote a public awareness campaign regarding speed limits.

Program C.20.b Utilize gas tax, sales tax and other funding sources to implement circulation improvements.

VI.4 COMPLETE STREETS
The state legislature passed The California Complete Streets Act in 2008, which requires that jurisdictions plan for “Complete Streets” to address the needs of all users.

Brisbane’s roadway infrastructure has largely already been built, with the notable exception of the Baylands, which will require the preparation and approval of a specific planfor which general infrastructure design standards are outlined in the Baylands Specific Plan. This Complete Streets section focuses on completing existing streets to meet the needs of bicycles, pedestrians, and transit users. New streets will also be required to be consistent with the element and provide for Complete Streets, as appropriate to the context.

Complete Streets Applicability and Design Standards
Policy C.21 The City shall provide for the development of Complete Streets consistent with Government Code Sections 65040.2 and 65302 and subsequent applicable Complete Streets legislation) to meet the needs of all users of “streets, roads and highways”.

Such users include bicyclists, children, youth, families, persons with disabilities, DRAFT

EXHIBIT E

ATTACHMENT 1

VI-18
motorists, movers of commercial goods, pedestrians, users of public transportation, seniors, and first responders.

Policy C.22 Integrate Complete Streets infrastructure and design features, such as sidewalks, bikeways and transit stops, into street design and construction to create safe and inviting environments for people to walk, bicycle and use public transportation.

Program C.22.a Review and where needed, update the City’s engineering design standards to implement Complete Streets infrastructure elements.

Program C.22.b Incorporate Complete Streets infrastructure elements into new streets, street retrofits and certain maintenance projects to encourage multiple modes of travel, as appropriate to the context and determined reasonable and practicable by the City.

Depending on the context, these elements may include:
• Infrastructure that promotes a safe means of travel for all users along the public rightof-way, such as sidewalks, shared use of paths, bicycle lanes, and paved shoulders; • Infrastructure that facilitates safe pedestrian crossings of the right of way, such as accessible curb ramps, crosswalks, refuge islands, and signals to meet the needs of children, people with disabilities and the elderly;
• Street design features that promote safe and comfortable travel by pedestrians, bicyclists and users of public transportation, such as traffic calming features and physical buffers between vehicular traffic and other users; • Inclusion of amenities that improve the comfort and addresses the safety needs of pedestrians and bicyclists, such as, but not limited to, signs, pavement markings, pedestrian-scale lighting, benches, seat walls, bike lockers and racks; • Improvements to public transit and multi-modal connections, to enhance City-wide transit access and connections to regional destinations; • Minimizing vehicular ingress and egress points on major arterials and consolidating private driveway entries to enhance bicycle, pedestrian and automobile safety along these arterials;
• Inclusion of street trees and other landscaping features, to enhance the appearance of the streetscape and to encourage pedestrian and bicycle use. Landscaping should use San Bruno Mountain native plants where feasible. In any case, plants should be noninvasive and drought resistant. (See also the Green Streets section of this element.) • Balance on-street parking as appropriate to the context, to promote the Complete Streets Act goals and encourage economic vitality. (See also the Parking section of this element.)
Program C.22.c Where possible, work with MTC to secure regional funding for Complete Streets projects.

Policy C.23 Seek to retrofit existing roadways to create Complete Streets.

Program C.23.a Identify roadways where retrofits may reasonably be accomplished in balance with existing and planned land uses, giving priority to arterial and collector streets and to projects that would provide greater connectivity between key areas of the City, such as, but not limited to, between the Northeast Ridge, Sierra Point and Central Brisbane.

Program C.23.b Identify roadways where Complete Streets retrofits may provide for enhanced place-making and contribute to the City’s vitality.

Program C.23.c Seek regional, state, and/or federal funding sources to retrofit roadways to create Complete Streets.

Policy C.24 For new multifamily, mixed use or commercial development projects subject to discretionary review that would affect the public right-of-way, incorporate and implement Complete Streets elements at each stage of the development process as determined reasonable and practicable by the City.

Program C.24.a As part of the design review permit process, require documentation of how the routine accommodation of bicyclists and pedestrians will be satisfied.

Program C.24.b As part of the project design review process, ensure that the project objectives and purpose are consistent with current MTC directives on Complete Streets and Routine Accommodation.

Bicycles and Pedestrians
Bicycle and pedestrian travel have become increasingly popular in recent years in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the weather is mild, and where there has been an increased accommodation of these modes into circulation networks throughout the region. These are typically modes used for recreation, school trips, and short- to moderate-distance commute trips. Since they are non-polluting, require relatively low cost facilities, and contribute to individual health, they are increasingly becoming valuable alternatives to automobiles and are critical components in the circulation network in contributing to sustainability. They are also critical modes for incorporation in the circulation network in providing a sense of place, especially within city centers.

Given the ties of pedestrian and bicycle access to land use, Brisbane’s General Plan includes the policies and programs that follow in this section as well as companion policies and programs within the land use and subareas elements.

Brisbane is currently in the process of creating a bicycle and pedestrian master plan that would enhance its existing network of bikeways and walkways and where possible provide greater connectivity, or improve existing bikeways and walkways that are tied to the regional network.

Regional Connections
Policy C.25 Provide input to the City and County of San Francisco and San Mateo County in regional planning efforts to enhance and expand the regional bicycle and pedestrian networks, including, where appropriate, amendments to regional bicycle and pedestrian plans.

sidewalks are not appropriate, consider in-lieu fees for new development for funding pedestrian amenities elsewhere in the City.

Policy C.35.b Consider accepting sidewalk improvements beyond the frontage of a development site as a means to help mitigate traffic and parking impacts.

Transit
Brisbane has limited transit service, provided by regional agencies. This includes San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans), Caltrain, and local shuttle service.

Given the high cost to construct new, fixed, mass transit systems such as BART, Caltrain and even light rail, there is an emphasis in this element on seeking to develop improved facilities and connections and improving the service network on the peninsula, with greater Brisbane service. However, the Baylands site includes the Bayshore Caltrain station and the opportunity exists to expand this facility into a multimodal transit hub along the proposed extension of Geneva Avenue. This could potentially accommodate connections for Caltrain, SF Muni light rail, SamTrans, Bus Rapid Transit and various shuttles.

Transit is a regional issue and Brisbane fully supports and is involved with the regional agencies to promote and enhance transit, as reflected in the policies and programs below.

Policy C.36 Seek opportunities to install and improve transit facilities, establish multi-modal connections and increase the service network.

Program C.36.a Continue active participation in the implementation of the San Mateo County-wide Transportation Plan to improve circulation systems, to develop alternatives to automobile dependence and to make transportation-sensitive land use decisions.

Program C.36.b Request more frequent scheduling of Caltrain stops at the Bayshore station as warranted by demand.

Program C.36.c Support, improve, and expand transit to serve the business and residential communities and provide connections to major transportation hubs.

Program C.36.e Cooperate with and provide input to transit agencies to provide increased bus scheduling to a greater network of destinations (especially to regional destinations, such as work, shopping, entertainment centers and medical facilities).

Program C.36.f Cooperate with and provide input to transit agencies to provide more comprehensive transfer connections with other bus routes outside of Brisbane and with other transit systems, such as Caltrain and BART.

Program C.36.g Work with SamTrans to install improvements at existing bus stops and designated routes.

Program C.36.h Provide information to citizens on the availability of transit.

DRAFT

VI-23
Program C.36.i Require new development that are subject to the City’s transportation demand measures (TDM) ordinance to also incorporate measures that facilitate Complete Streets compliance measures, such as transit stops, shuttle stops, and bicycle facilities.

Policy C.37 Plan for park-and-ride facilities at the Caltrain Station and other major transit stops.

VI.5 TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT
Transportation management includes both transportation systems management (TSM) and transportation demand management (TDM). TSM is an approach to congestion mitigation that seeks to identify improvements to enhance the capacity of existing systems through operational measures. TDM includes strategies and measures that influence travel behaviors to improve the use of transportation system resources and the mobility and access for users. The underlying aim is to reduce single-occupant vehicle trips by offering more and better choices. This is especially effective for large employers to provide such things as shuttle and carpooling services to employees, offering incentives for employees to take transit, and incorporating physical infrastructure features, such as bike storage and shower and locker facilities, in the construction of new buildings or improvements to existing buildings.

Policy C.38 Continue participation in the efforts of subregional and regional transportation agencies to manage transportation systems.

Program C.38.a Continue active participation in the Congestion Management Program.

Program C.38.b Continue active participation in the Peninsula Traffic Congestion Relief Alliance Joint Powers Authority (Commute.org), as a means to cooperatively encourage residents and employees to reduce demand on transportation infrastructure.

Program C.38.c Provide information to citizens, employers, and employees on the alternatives to the single-occupant commute vehicle and the benefits of using the alternatives.

Program C.38.d Provide local incentives for participation in Transportation System Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs and continue to implement same.

Program C.38.e Require Transportation System Management and Transportation Demand Management measures to help mitigate the traffic and parking impacts of development projects.

VI.6 PARKING
The availability of parking in Brisbane varies by the area and time of day. Drivers seeking to park in some areas of Central Brisbane may experience difficulties due to narrow roads where street parking is limited by the width of the street, relatively high density of development, and in certain cases a high level of automobile ownership, or lack of available on-site parking. On the other hand, some of the commercial areas may be considered to have an over-abundance of parking, especially during off-peak times.

Accordingly, the policies in the section are aimed at achieving the appropriate balance of parking, given the uses and the locations.

DRAFT

EXHIBIT E

ATTACHMENT 1

VI-24
Included in this section is the continuation of minimum parking standards for new development throughout Brisbane, but also the establishment of maximum parking standards. This is intended to minimize paving to address stormwater runoff concerns, heat island effects, glare, and aesthetic concerns.

Policy C.39 Maintain as much on-street parking in residential Brisbane as can be accommodated safely.

Program C.39.a Periodically review residential parking requirements in the Zoning Ordinance, to maintain parking availability in Brisbane’s residential districts and to ensure consistency with the latest adopted Housing Element.

Program C.39.b Seek means to encourage residents to use their garages for vehicles rather than other purposes.

Policy C.40 Improve public parking opportunities in the Central Brisbane business district and other commercial areas, as appropriate.

Program C.40.a Consider opportunities to add public parking to underserved areas and investigate establishing a public parking lot or lots.

Program C.40.b Pursue, as feasible and needed, a downtown parking assessment district.

Policy C.41 Maintain an appropriate amount of off-street parking in commercial areas.

Program C.41.a Review the parking regulations for office, commercial and industrial uses and consider setting minimum and maximum parking standards where transit alternatives are readily available.

Policy C.42 Consider opportunities to add public parking to underserved areas and to provide parking/staging areas at public trailheads.

Policy C.43 Consider updates to the Brisbane Municipal Code to require parking lot solar canopies for energy generation and/or parking lot shade trees to reduce heat island effects on commercial development projects.

VI.7 CIRCULATION AND LAND USE
State law recognizes that circulation and land use are closely related and requires that these two components of a City’s General Plan be correlated. Through coordinated transportation and land use planning, the City will provide mobility Brisbane residents and businesses, including roadway capacity enhancements to accommodate traffic generated by planned future development within the City. Because the correlation of land use and transportation planning required by State law also encompasses considerations of energy efficiency and the need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions, the City’s Circulation Element policies are also intended to support efficient land use patterns that facilitate convenient access to regional transit facilities as well as bicycle and pedestrian connectivity through the City.

The land use and circulation policies in this General Plan also focus on ways to reduce the negative effects of automobile traffic at the local level on the City's residents and businesses. In essence, the policies are aimed at:

DRAFT

EXHIBIT E

ATTACHMENT 1

VI-25
• Providing for a mix of jobs, housing and commercial services in the City to reduce the number of trips Brisbane residents are required to make outside the community to obtain essential services. • Providing for opportunities for pedestrians and bicyclists to reach all areas of the City and thus reduce dependence on the automobile for local trips.
• Generating a mix of uses to support transit facilities. • Accommodating uses with differing peak hour trips, to minimize impacts on existing and new streets and highways.
• Linking the development capacity of vacant lands to potential for provision of local transportation and circulation, the provision of transit facilities and participation in transportation systems management programs.
• Assuring adequate and safe access to properties.

The following policies address the relationship between land use and circulation:

Policy C.44 Consider potential effects on mobility and emergency evacuation in making land use decisions.

Policy C.45 For vacant subareas without existing infrastructure, require circulation plans and multi-modal transportation analyses to be submitted as a part of any development application.

Policy C.46 Consider transit use and facilities as well as Transportation Demand Management Programs in making land use decisions.

Policy C.47 Ensure legal access to properties in making land use decisions.

Program C.47a In reviewing building permit, subdivision and other development applications, distinguish whether the subject property has access from public streets, private streets, or easements. Obtain from applicants, evidence of a legal right of access to their properties. Require that such access meet applicable standards.

Policy C.48 In conjunction with new development and expansion of existing uses, require that new streets and any existing private streets serving the property be improved to City standards and offered for dedication as public streets.

Program C.48.a Continue to accept offers to dedicate existing private roadways as public streets, where they meet City standards.

Program C.48b Where appropriate, require exactions or impact fees for new development and improvements to property to improve substandard streets to minimum safety standards.

Program C.48.c Investigate requiring secondary access for long cul-de-sac streets.

DRAFT

EXHIBIT E

ATTACHMENT 1

VI-26
Program C.48.d Investigate requiring mid-block turnarounds on all streets with cul-desacs longer than 500 feet.

Program C.48.e Investigate requiring that substandard intersections be improved, in conjunction with new development, to provide adequate turning radius.

Program C.48.f Consider an impact fee program to fund acquisition of additional rights-ofway, widening of existing streets to provide additional on-street parking and construction of other safety improvements.

Program C.48.g Continue to require parking and safety improvements in conjunction with new residential development and major additions or remodels that meet defined thresholds.

Program C.48.h Encourage the formation of assessment districts where appropriate, for needed circulation improvements.

Policy C.49 Monitor land use decisions under consideration by adjacent jurisdictions and their potential effect on Brisbane's streets. Comment through the public process and request mitigations as appropriate.

Policy C.50 Monitor regional developments and their effects on Highway 101, interchanges along the freeway, and Bayshore Boulevard to evaluate vehicular congestion from through traffic caused by developments approved by cities to the north and south of Brisbane.

Comment through the public process and request appropriate improvements to be provided within Brisbane from those developments.

VI.8 GREEN STREETS
Green Streets refers to the inclusion of landscape elements into the street right-of-way to help reduce storm water runoff by both interception and infiltration of rainwater and biological treatment of storm water by those landscape elements. The intended results are to help ease the burden, or flow volume, on storm water systems and to provide for improved water quality for that water that does enter the storm water systems. The specific landscape elements may take a variety of forms including, but not limited to, bio-treatment planters, rain gardens, street trees and other plantings.

Since the intent is to address stormwater quality, Green Streets elements may also be used in demonstrating compliance with the State Water Board provisions for low impact development (LID) and “Green Infrastructure”, subject to specific state provisions and design criteria where applicable. Low impact development is aimed at mimicking predevelopment hydrology by minimizing impervious cover, then bio-treating and infiltrating stormwater close to its source.

Green Streets are also a means to enhance the pedestrian experience of streetscapes and may be used in conjunction with “road diets”, to reduce existing, excessively wide roadways to provide for traffic calming and overall safer roadways. Given that, depending on the context, Green Streets may be a component of Complete Streets, in that these landscape features enhance the pedestrian and bicycle experience and thereby encourage all modes of travel.

Finally, Green Streets provide other ecological benefits, such as reduced heat island effects, improved air quality and wildlife islands or corridors.

DRAFT

EXHIBIT E

ATTACHMENT 1

VI-27
The following policies and programs address Green Streets and are intended to integrate Green Streets principles and designs into the roadway network when possible:

Policy C.51 Incorporate Green Streets best practices, as appropriate to the context, for new streets and street retrofits, to enhance the pedestrian and bicyclist experience, to promote low impact development (LID) consistent with state water board initiatives to reduce the impacts of development on storm water resources and to enhance the natural environment. (See also the Complete Streets section) Program C.51.a Continue to evaluate and update the approved plant species list and standards for streetscape plantings.

Program C.51.b Consider where Green Streets retrofits may be incorporated into capital improvement projects and seek funding sources for Green Streets projects.

Policy C.52 For new multifamily, mixed use or commercial development projects subject to discretionary review, as part of the design review permit process, incorporate Green Streets, as determined reasonable and practicable by the City.

Policy C.53 In the design and approval of a specific Green Street, the following factors will be considered, as may be applicable:
• Context and design intent for the area or site;
• Site and environmental constraints such as soil type, sun and wind exposure, presence of utilities, view sight lines and view corridors; • On-going water needs and drought tolerance;
• Diversity of plantings to reduce the potential for mass die-offs due to pests or disease which may impact specific species;
• Adequate soil volume and location of the species within a storm water treatment unit, where applicable.

VI.9 ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION MODES
Alternative transportation modes in this section refer to alternatives to fossil-fuel vehicles which have not already been addressed in the Complete Streets section, under the traditional categories of public transit, biking and walking. Use of alternative transportation modes has a historical precedent in Brisbane with such things as rail-spur lines for goods movement and the more recent City-sponsored car sharing service.

The programs in this section address continuation of the historic technology of rail lines for goods movement as well as incorporation of more recent and emerging technologies and sharing-based services into Brisbane’s circulation network.

Policy 54 Maintain existing and incorporate new alternative transportation modes and infrastructure into the circulation network as reasonable and practicable.

DRAFT

Program 54.a Consider revisions to the Brisbane Municipal Code to require vehicle charging stations for development projects.

Program 54.b Encourage the use of electric, fuel cell and other clean energy vehicles and provide charging stations at public facilities and encourage installation of charging stations at existing private sites, as reasonable and feasible.

Program 54.c Seek grant funding opportunities and other funding sources to install publicly accessible vehicle charging stations and other infrastructure to support and enhance alternative means of transportation.

Program 54.d Encourage the maintenance of existing rail-spur lines to continue their use in transporting goods. (See also policies and programs under the Transit section for public transportation)
Program 54.e Monitor and consider new technological advances such as driverless shuttles and how sharing based transportation (car and bike sharing) can be accommodated in the City’s circulation system.

VI.10 SAN FRANCISCO-SAN MATEO BI-COUNTY TRANSPORTATION STUDY The Bi-County Transportation Study was undertaken by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) and the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County, along with the City of Brisbane, City/County of San Francisco, Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain), and others to assess the transportation improvements needed to support development of approximately 15,000 new housing units and over 14 million square feet of new employment uses proposed within the southeastern corner of San Francisco and the northeastern corner of San Mateo County. The study includes a listing of transportation projects along the San Francisco/San Mateo county line and a funding strategy.

The final report for the Bi-County Study, which was prepared in 2013, recommended the following transportation improvements:
• US 101 Candlestick Interchange Re-Configuration
• Geneva Avenue Extension from Bayshore Boulevard to the US 101 freeway • Harney-Geneva Bus Rapid Transit Line
• T-Third Light Rail Extension (Segment “S”)
• Bayshore Station Re-Configuration
• Bicycle-Pedestrian Connections
• Area-Wide Traffic Calming Program
In 2019, theThe City of Brisbane began is working with the other agencies involved in the Bi-County Transportation Study to update the land use and development assumptions used in the 2013 study and DRAFT

1 Baylands Specific Plan Background and History
Historic Uses
With the exception of Ice House Hill, the majority of the Baylands was historically part of San Francisco Bay. Filling of the Bay to create the Baylands started in the 1860s with construction of a rail line from San Francisco to San Jose. After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the area west of the rail corridor was filled in primarily with earthquake rubble. This area was subsequently developed with a Southern Pacific railyard which operated until the early 1980s; the Bayshore Caltrain station still remains and is located along the northerly edge of the site. A portion of the western side of the site was subsequently developed with a collection of small industrial buildings along Industrial Way. Filling of the Bay to create the Brisbane Landfill progressed from north to south starting about 1915, with the landfill ceasing operations in the early 1960s. The portion of the site formerly used as a landfill has been utilized for several interim uses over time, some of which continue to operate at present.

All uses operating on property managed by BDI will ultimately be removed from the site when the Specific Plan is implemented. As noted previously, there are several properties within the Specific Plan area that are not under the control of BDI, and these existing uses on these properties are expected to remain.

As noted previously, much of the site was created via filling of the Bay. The most prominent natural feature is Icehouse Hill, located in the southwestern portion of the site, which extends to an elevation approximately 200 feet above mean sea level. The Specific Plan area is bisected in an east–west direction by Visitacion Creek. Most of the Specific Plan area is flat or gently sloping toward San Francisco Bay, with elevations ranging from 10 to 50 feet above mean sea level. Elevations are higher on the former Brisbane landfill on the east side of the site, which features two large rectangular plateaus with Visitacion Creek running between them.

Pre-2005
The 1994 General Plan required the submission and approval of a Specific Plan for the Baylands to determine permitted uses and establish development standards for future development. While the 1994 General Plan prohibited residential uses, it provided limited guidance regarding uses that could be permitted within the Baylands. The landowner engaged in preliminary planning efforts over the next approximately 10 years. 2005-2018
The initial Baylands Specific Plan application was filed by Universal Paragon Corporation with the City in 2006 (SP-1- 06), requesting approval of a General Plan Amendment and a “Phase I Specific Plan” for development of the easterly approximately 449 acres of the Baylands site, along with a “framework plan” proposing basic parameters for later development of the western portion of the Baylands. The City had numerous concerns with this bifurcated planning approach and lack of certainty regarding the development of the entire Baylands site. The applicant was encouraged to modify their approach to comprehensively plan the entire site.

In 2011, the applicant submitted a revised Brisbane Baylands Specific Plan addressing the entire site which proposed 4,434 residential units, approximately 7 million SF of office/retail/industrial/institutional uses, approximately 169.7 acres of “open space/open area,” and approximately 135.6 acres of “lagoon” area, totaling approximately 12.1 million SF of total building area within the 684-acre site. The 2011 Specific Plan also included a “variant” under which retail and office/research and development (R&D) uses in the northeast portion of the site
