to the needs of the City and the medical condition of the employee, and subject to the rights of the employee under the law.

Employee will not lose seniority or permanent station assignments due to light duty assignment.

The Chief of the Department will render a written d ecision on the grievance within five (5) calendar days. If at this point the aggrieved feels that the grievance has not been resolved, the aggrieved may appeal the decision of the chief to the next higher authority as outlined in the Rules and Regulations of the Classified Service and/or Memorandum of Understanding.
Step D: Within seven (7) calendar days after rece ipt of the grievance by the next higher authority (City Manager), there shall be a meeting between the aggrieved employee and/or the Union Business Representative and the City Manager or his/her representative, in an attempt to settle the matter .

The parties shall each strike two (2) names from the list and the re maining person shall be accepted as the arbitrator. The first party to strike shall be determined by the flip of a coin.
The jurisdiction and authority of the arbitrator so selected and the opinions the arbitrator expresses will be confined exclusively to the interpretation of the express provision or provisions of the MOU or Rules and Regulatio ns of the Classified Service at issue
between the parties. The arbitrator shall have no authority to add to, subtract from, alter, amend, or modify any provisions of the MOU or Rules and Regulations of the Classified Service or impose any limitations or obligations not specifically provided for under the terms of the MOU or Rules and Regulations of the Classified Service.

The arbitrator shall be without power or authority to recommend any decision that would require the City or the administration to do an act prohibited by law.
The fees of the arbitrator will be born equally by the employee or employee association and the City. However, the City will re imburse up to $15,000 towards the Firefighters Association cost of arbitration in cases where the City Council goes against the advisory recommendation to the detriment of the employee or Association.

APPENDIX D – SHIFT TRADE
DALY CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT
SHIFT TRADE
The responsibility for working a shift is that of the person who is scheduled to work on that shift.
When another employee agrees to work the shift trade (via the Shift Trade Form), he/she assumes the assigned obligations to work, but not the liability for the shift or time.
It is agreed that shift trades may only be paid back by exchange of time worked and shall not be paid back by payment of money or any consideration other than time. Any employee(s) violating this provision shall be subject to forfeiture of the right to trade shifts for one year.
Should an employee who agreed to work a shift or a fraction of a shift be unable to do so, the person who was scheduled to work that time is charged for any lost time to the City.
An employee unable to fulfill a trade agreement, for any reason, must contact both the duty Battalion Chief and the person originally scheduled to work the shift or partial shift.
When the person who initiated the trade is contacted, the trade will be cancelled and he/she will work the shift or provide another trade.
If contact cannot be made, any time lost or overtime incurred will be charged to the person originally scheduled to work. Repayment of time is to be made as follows:
Working the time, hour for hour, within the limits of the same "work time period" as indicated on the time work sheets, (avoiding impacting FLSA time), at a time determined by Fire Administration.
Should an employee not be able to repay the time during the same work time period, the employee's vacation accrual shall be charged or compensatory time accrual.
Shift trades may be permitted under the following rules:
A. All requests for shift trades must be made no less than 48 hours in advance. All requests must be approved by the supervisor on whose shift the trade will be performed. Should the Company Officer be unavailable, the Battalion Chief's office may approve the trade.
B. Exchanges shall be of comparative status: Firefighter for Firefighter; Engineer-Operator for Engineer-Operator; Captain for Captain.
C. Shift trades shall not be requested more than 90 days in advance. Should there be a personnel schedule change after the request is submitted, whereby personnel are moved from one shift to another and the trade cannot be performed, the shift trade becomes null and void. Shift trades are subordinate to any and all personnel changes or transfers, and the person requesting the trade is responsible for any time lost to the City. Time lost due to oversight or
Memorandum of Understanding
City of Daly City and San Mateo Firefighters Union Local 2400 July 1, 20252 through June 30, 20285
mistakes made by parties to the request are the responsibility of the person who requested the trade. It is his/her responsibility to be aware of the status of the trade at all times.
D. Personnel requesting shift trades will provide early relief for the person who is to work the trade, should that person be at a different station on the shift prior to the trade.
E. No employee shall pay money to another employee in exchange for a shift trade, and shift trades shall be paid back within 360 days. In the event of a promotion of an employee to a higher rank, such employee shall pay back all shift trades owed in the lower rank within three (3) months following such promotion.
F. All shift trades are to be recorded in the Company Journal of the Station in which the trade takes place, on the actual date of the trade.
G. Personnel submitting four or more consecutive trades shall obtain the approval of his/her immediate supervisor and the approval of the Shift Battalion Chief.
H. Probationary Firefighters are strongly discouraged from requesting shift trades because it is important they receive all the necessary training, both scheduled and unscheduled, available to them on shift.
Should a probationary Firefighter need a Shift Trade, the following rules apply:
1. A probationary employee shall be entitled to a maximum of five (5) Shift Trades, whether they are full shift or partial shift during the 18-month probationary period, (five full shifts equals 120 hours). No combination of Shift Trades may exceed a 120-hour bank, and each trade will be deducted from the 120-hour bank.
2. Exception to the five shift limit: A partial Shift Trade of two to five hours occurring after 1700 hours will not be charged against the five shift maximum. It will, however, be charged against the bank of 120 hours for the probationary Firefighter.
3. When either five Shift Trades or 120 hours have been accumulated, the probationary Firefighter will have reached the limit and no further Shift Trades will be allowed for the balance of the probationary period.
While assigned to the Fire Prevention Division on a 40-hour workweek during the probationary period, the employee may work for another employee outside the regular Division hours (subject to the maximum above) but not have other employees work for him/her.

• The City of Redwood City/ City of Burlingame represented fire employee (Firefighters/Engineers/Fire Captains) census data will be used to determine the number of employees at each level (employee only, employee plus 1, and employee plus 2 or more).
• This census data will be applied to an agency which has tiered contribution rates.
The agencies composite rate will be determined in the following manner:
• # of employee only x employee rate
• # of employee plus one x employee plus one rate
• # of employee plus 2 or more x employee plus two or more rate • Total of employee only: employee plus one and employee plus 2 or more • Composite rate equals total of employee only, employee plus one and employee plus 2 or more divided by the respective number of employees at each level.

Department Policy
Temporary Suspension of California Driver License
October 5, 2009
The possession of a valid Class C California Driver’s license (and possession of a Class B license within 18 months of hire) is a minimum qualification and a condition of employment for the Firefighter, Fire Engineer Operator and Fire Captain classifications. No employee shall operate a vehicle in which they do not have a current license. Any employee whose driving privileges are suspended shall notify the on-duty Battalion Chief and or Fire Chief as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours prior to returning to work.
An employee whose driving privileges are temporarily suspended by the California Department of Motor Vehicles and who is eligible for reinstatement within 12 months of the date of suspension may be eligible for the following accommodations:
Firefighter and Fire Captain Classifications
• The employee will continue to operate in their classification and will be reduced 2 steps until the DMV reinstates their Driver License.
Engineer Operator Classification
• The employee shall be temporarily reassigned to Fire Fighter classification until the time they regain their driver license at which time they will return to their original classification. The employee temporarily reassigned to firefighter will be eligible for the appropriate step based on number of years in the department. (i.e. 4 years in department would be eligible for 4th step.) On return to their original position, the employee will be assigned the step in which they were assigned prior to the temporary reassignment.
• If the Driver’s license suspension resulted from a conviction or plea of no contest for driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or with an illegal blood alcohol content, the Fire Chief may approve a reasonable period of time for the employee to complete a rehabilitation program assigned by the Department of Motor Vehicles and/or Court. The Fire Chief may terminate the temporary reassignment if the employee has not completed the rehabilitation program within that period of time.
Nothing in this policy changes the City’s right to implement disciplinary action consistent with City rules for actions associated with the temporary suspension of a California Driver License.

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item # _____
Meeting Date: November 10, 2025
Subject: Approve Resolution Designating Serramonte Library Plaza for the Proposed Sculpture Project Dr. José Rizal Legacy
Recommended Action
Approve Resolution Designating Serramonte Library Plaza for the Proposed “Dr. José Rizal Legacy” Sculpture Project.
Background/Discussion
Councilmember Juslyn Manalo (sponsor) and Mayor Dr. Rod Daus-Magbual (co-sponsor) recommend the City designate Serramonte Library Plaza for the proposed Dr. José Rizal Legacy Sculpture Project.
Dr. José Rizal is widely regarded as the national hero of the Philippines. Rizal played a crucial role in the Country’s struggle for independence from Spanish colonial rule and made significant contributions to Philippine society and culture. Through peaceful reforms and intellectual resistance, he advocated for equality, justice, and independence.
The nonprofit organization, the Dr. José Rizal Legacy International Foundation, strives to foster a global community that is united by the values of compassion, empathy, and a commitment to creating a more just and equitable society. The nonprofit’s mission is founded on four pillars:
education, cultural preservation, humanitarian initiatives, and advocacy for social justice.
The Foundation’s proposed sculpture project, “Dr. José Rizal Legacy,” is believed to serve as a lasting testament to Rizal’s invaluable contributions to literature, education, and the pursuit of freedom. As a City with more than 50% of its residents foreign-born, this sculpture is intended to serve as a guiding light for individuals and communities to become catalysts for positive change.
Designating Serramonte Library Plaza as the location for this historic monument will provide Daly City the opportunity to foster cultural exchange, promote historical awareness, and celebrate the shared values of injustice, liberty, and human dignity at the City’s main Public Library.
The Dr. José Rizal Legacy International Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, collects donations to fund the proposed sculpture project and will be solely responsible for raising the funds for this project. The Foundation will work with local community-based organizations, businesses and individuals to reach their fundraising goal. Their first project was approved, installed, and celebrated in George Fellows Park in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Once a site has been designated, the Foundation will work with the City on the design and placement.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact.

Subject: Setting Time and Place for Public Hearing on Community Development and Housing Needs
Recommended Action
Set a Public Hearing on Community Development and Housing Needs for Monday, December 8, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.
Background
As a requirement of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME programs, the City of Daly City is required to hold a public hearing to obtain input on community development and housing needs for the City. This requirement is discussed in the City’s Community Participation Plan (formerly known as the Citizen Participation Plan). The Community Participation Plan provides the community an opportunity to participate in planning, implementation and assessment of the CDBG and HOME programs.
Discussion
On April 25, 2023, the City Council adopted its five-year HUD Consolidated Plan covering the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028. As a part of the Plan, a One-Year Action Plan is required, covering the upcoming fiscal year. The One-Year Action Plan will specify actual funding levels for various CDBG and HOME activities during the next fiscal year. The public hearing will begin the public participation and planning process associated with preparation of the City’s HUD One-Year Action Plan for FY 2026-27. This Action Plan is for the fourth year of the Consolidated Plan period and also the second year of a two-year CDBG-funding cycle. As such, a request for proposals will not be issued at this time. Staff is recommending that the needs hearing serve to affirm current funding allocations of the two-year CDBG funding cycle adopted for Fiscal Years 2025-26 and 2026-27.
Notices of the hearing will be published in The Examiner Peninsula and distributed to social service organizations serving Daly City residents. A notice will also be posted on the City’s website.

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item # _____
Meeting Date: November 10, 2025
Subject: Authorization to Approve the Revival of the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with JM McLennan Development for the Pacific Plaza Site (1837 Junipero Serra Blvd., Daly City, CA.) ________________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the revival of the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with JM McLennan Development for the potential sale and development of the City-owned property located at 1837 Junipero Serra Boulevard. The revival complies with Government Code Section 54234(d) and Section 103(b)(7) of the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Surplus Land Act Guidelines.
Background
The City of Daly City has long identified the former Redevelopment site located Pacific Plaza site at 1837 Junipero Serra Boulevard a potential site redevelopment that supports corridor revitalization, hotel and transit-oriented development, and affordable housing production.
In 2019, the City entered into an ENA for the site, which was later terminated. In 2022, following a competitive process, the City authorized a new revived ENA with JM McLennan Development to pursue the similar project vision.
Recent amendments to the Surplus Land Act, through Assembly Bill 480 and corresponding HCD regulations, now allow local agencies to revive expired or terminated agreements under certain conditions. The 2022 ENA meets those conditions as it was executed before January 1, 2024, and contains terms substantially similar to the original 2019 agreement, and is eligible for revival so long as the final disposition is completed by December 31, 2027.
Discussion
The proposed project is intended to create a vibrant mixed-use destination, bringing new hotel, housing and event space to the area, while generating fiscal benefits such as transient occupancy tax (TOT), employment opportunities, and long-term economic activity.
JM McLennan Development proposes a privately financed, mixed-use redevelopment of the City-owned site, including:
• A full-service hotel with approximately 180 rooms;
• Forty (40) residential or extended-stay units;
• Ten (10) for-sale condominiums on the upper floors;
• A 30,000-square-foot event and conference center;
Meeting Date: November 10, 2025
• A 30,000-square-foot athletic club and wellness facility (potentially relocating an existing facility);
• Supporting structured parking and associated infrastructure.
Revived ENA Agreement Terms
The revived ENA maintains the core provisions of the 2022 agreement, including:
• Exclusive negotiation rights between the City and JM McLennan for a fixed period (initial 180 days, with one 90-day administrative extension);
• Developer responsibility for entitlements, CEQA review, community outreach, and due diligence;
• A requirement that the final DDA and property disposition be completed no later than December 31, 2027 in order to retain exemption from the Surplus Land Act’s affordable housing offer and notice procedures;
• Project terms that are substantially similar to those authorized in 2019, including scope, structure, and public benefits.
Upon Council approval, the City Manager will execute the revived ENA and resume the exclusive negotiation period with JM McLennan Development. City staff and the developer will continue working toward a DDA, with environmental review and project entitlements to follow under separate Council consideration.
Fiscal Impact
The project is expected to generate one-time land sale proceeds and ongoing revenue through TOT, event activity, and business licensing.
Conclusion
Staff recommends the authorization to revive the ENA with JM McLennan Development. The project aligns with the City’s policy goals and complies with the Surplus Land Act’s revival provisions.
Staff is available to answer any questions.

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item # _____
Meeting Date: November 10, 2025
Subject: Adoption of the 2025 California Building Standards Code with Local Amendments; Repeal and Replace of Title 15, Daly City Municipal Code
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct a public hearing and:
Introduce an ordinance repealing and replace Chapters 15.00, 15.08, 15.10, 15.12, 15.14, 15.16,
15.20, 15.22, 15.24, 15.32, 15.33, 15.60, and 15.65 of Title 15 of the Daly City Municipal Code, thereby adopting the 2025 California Building Standards Code with local amendments as set forth in Exhibits A–M and Attachment B and adopt the ordinance upon second reading, to take effect January 1, 2026, consistent with state law.
BACKGROUND
The California Building Standards Commission updates the California Building Standards Code (CBSC), also known as Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, on a triennial basis. The CBSC is divided into 12 parts, covering building, residential, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, energy, green building, existing buildings, and other specialized standards. The 2025 CBSC becomes effective statewide on January 1, 2026. Local jurisdictions are required to adopt the CBSC and may enact amendments that are reasonably necessary due to local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. Administrative amendments may also be adopted to support local implementation.
Recent legislation also informs this effort. In particular, AB 306 (Emergency Building Standards Streamlining) expands local authority to expedite adoption of State-issued emergency building standards and clarifies local responsibilities for prompt implementation. Daly City is aligning itself with the intent of AB 306 by simplifying its code adoption approach, removing outdated and redundant amendments, and retaining only those provisions supported by findings. This ensures Daly City can quickly adopt state-mandated emergency standards when issued, maintaining compliance and protecting public safety.
DISCUSSION
The proposed ordinance repeals existing chapters of Title 15 and replaces them with the 2025 CBSC and Daly City’s streamlined local amendments.
This adoption cycle is focused on housekeeping and simplification:
• Removed outdated, inconsistent, or overlapping amendments. • Retained only amendments supported by climatic, geographic, topographic, or administrative findings.
• Aligned Daly City’s Municipal Code more closely with the state model code, improving predictability for applicants.
2025 CBSC Adoption – Staff Report
By eliminating potential pain points, the ordinance makes Daly City’s building requirements easier to navigate and reduces costly surprises during plan review or construction. This supports small contractors and homeowners who may not have the resources to navigate overly complex local rules, thereby promoting equity and accessibility in the development process.
Amendments retained are meaningful for resilience and safety, including stormwater protections, seismic safety, and energy storage system requirements. At the same time, Daly City has eliminated amendments that created unnecessary confusion—such as the EERO exception. Continuing this unsupported amendment would have created liability for the City and confusion for applicants. Its removal, supported by the Fire Department, is consistent with the 2025 CBSC and strengthens safety and clarity.
This effort also supports State housing and development goals by promoting transparent, regionally consistent regulations. Developers working across Bay Area jurisdictions will encounter fewer local deviations, supporting efficiency and lowering costs.
Finally, Daly City’s Universal Local Amendment Matrix (Attachment B) documents the justification for each retained amendment, ensuring they are defensible under Health & Safety Code §§17958.5, 17958.7, and 18941.5.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Pursuant to California Health & Safety Code §§17958.5, 17958.7, and 18941.5, the City Council must adopt findings to support local amendments. Daly City’s Universal Local Amendment Matrix (Attachment B) provides the detailed justification. A summary of the local conditions is provided below:
‣ Climatic (CL): Daly City is situated within a coastal marine climate zone, characterized by persistent fog, high humidity, and frequent seasonal rainfall, which accelerate deterioration of building materials through corrosion, rot, and mold growth. Periodic high winds and salt- laden air from the Pacific Ocean increase wear on exterior finishes, roofing, and structural elements, and also accelerate copper corrosion, leading to leaching into stormwater and pollutant discharge.
‣ Geologic (GE): Daly City’s location on the San Francisco Peninsula places it in one of the most seismically active regions in the world, adjacent to the San Andreas Fault and near several other significant fault lines. This proximity necessitates enhanced design and construction measures to address earthquake resilience and post-disaster functionality. ‣ Topographic (TO): Daly City features a varied topography with numerous hills, steep slopes, and irregular lot configurations. Elevation changes and slope instability can create drainage issues, erosion risks, and challenging construction conditions. Local amendments may be necessary to ensure proper grading, foundation design, and slope stabilization, as well as to address emergency vehicle access to hillside neighborhoods. ‣ Administrative (AD): These amendments are administrative in nature and do not modify a California Building Standard. Instead, they establish local processes, authority, and enforcement procedures to ensure effective application of the building codes in Daly City.
2025 CBSC Adoption – Staff Report
Administrative provisions may include permitting procedures, fee schedules, timelines for approvals, inspection requirements, and coordination with other departments and agencies.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION (CEQA)
The proposed ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3). Adoption of building regulations consistent with state law and limited local amendments does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact. Enforcement will be performed by existing staff within budgeted resources.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may:
1. Introduce the ordinance as recommended;
2. Provide direction on modifications to local amendments; or
3. Decline to proceed, in which case the 2025 CBSC would apply without Daly City-specific tailoring.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct a public hearing and:
Introduce an ordinance repealing and replace Chapters 15.00, 15.08, 15.10, 15.12, 15.14, 15.16,
15.20, 15.22, 15.24, 15.32, 15.33, 15.60, and 15.65 of Title 15 of the Daly City Municipal Code, thereby adopting the 2025 California Building Standards Code with local amendments as set forth in Exhibits A–M and Attachment B and adopt the ordinance upon second reading, to take effect January 1, 2026, consistent with state law.

B. Owner-Builder (Single-Family) - A bona fide owner of a single-family dwelling may obtain a permit as provided in Business and Professions Code §7044, and must either personally perform the work or hire licensed subcontractors where required by law. Eligibility is determined by the Building Official or authorized representative.
C. Property Management Firm or Corporation - A permit may be issued to a firm or corporation that (1) regularly employs qualified tradespersons to perform alteration or repair work on buildings it owns or operates, and (2) maintains workers’ compensation insurance for those tradespersons.
Work requiring licensure shall be performed by state-licensed contractors unless exempt by law.
D. Administrative Authority - Issuance of a permit or approval of plans does not prevent the Building Official or authorized representative from requiring corrections, issuing stop-work orders, or suspending/revoking any permit or approval issued in error or based on incorrect, inaccurate, or incomplete information.
E. State Law Reference - Nothing in this section creates an exemption from contractor licensure.
Minor-work thresholds and related exemptions shall be applied per Business and Professions Code §7048.
15.00.090 Workmanship
All design, construction, and installation shall comply with the California Building Standards Code (Title 24) as adopted by this Title, referenced standards, approved plans, and manufacturers’ installation instructions and listings. Where requirements conflict, the most restrictive shall govern.
15.00.100 Stormwater Best Management Practices
All work undertaken in conformance with this code shall adhere to best management practices, guidelines, or requirements adopted by the City for any activity, operation, or facility that may cause or contribute to stormwater pollution or contamination, illicit discharges, and/or the discharge of non-stormwater to the stormwater system. Every person undertaking such activity or operation under this code shall comply with such guidelines or requirements as may be identified by the Building Official or designee.
On and after January 1, 2026, the installation of copper metal roofing, copper gutters, copper downspouts, and asphalt shingles containing copper granules shall be prohibited for any residential, commercial, or industrial building requiring a building permit. Copper flashing used under tiles or slates, and small copper ornaments, are exempt. Any request for exemption based on historic status shall be reviewed and determined by the Planning Division.

City Council Meeting Agenda Report Item # _____
Meeting Date: November 10, 2025
Subject: Finding of Public Convenience and Necessity PCN-08-25-016871 to Sell Alcoholic Beverages for Off-Site Consumption at Grocery Outlet at 6100 Mission Street
Recommended Action
Consider a finding that the public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance of a liquor license by the State Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC).
Background
The applicant, Grocery Outlet, has filed an application with ABC to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits (Type 21 License) for off-site consumption at a new Grocery Outlet location at 6100 Mission Street (see Attachment A – Site Location). According to the applicant, the alcoholic beverages sales would be ancilliary to the grocery store’s annual gross sales. The applicant estimates that 396 square feet or approximately four percent of the store’s 10,000 square feet total sales floor area would be dedicated to the display of alcoholic beverages (see Attachment B – Grocery Store Floor Plan). The store will be open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily.
ABC has determined that a finding of Public Convenience and Necessity (PCN) by the Daly City City Council is necessary before it can issue the license. According to ABC, the subject site is in an area of overconcentration of liquor licenses. There are currently six active licenses, where two would normally be permitted. Although crime statistics are included in this staff report, high crime is not the basis for the PCN requirement, rather only the overconcentration of licenses.
In considering the request, the City Council must determine whether the issuance of the license will serve the public convenience or necessity. The applicant is contending that the allowance of alcoholic beverage sales would allow the store to offer residents general retail and groceries without necessitating a second trip to another store for beer, wine, or distilled spirits or skipping the store altogether in favor of a grocery store that sells these items.
Discussion
Staff has prepared the following list of facts that the City Council may find useful in determining whether issuance of the license at grocery Outlet would serve the public convenience or necessity:
1. Grocery Outlet has applied for a Type 21 license for 6100 Mission Street. This license allows for the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirts for off-site consumption only.
2. The market is in Census Tract 6007.01 and is considered by ABC to be overconcentrated for alcohol sales. There are currently six licenses existing in this Census Tract, while two are normally allowed.

Public Convenience and Necessity PCN-08-25-016871 November 11, 2025 Grocery Outlet – 6100 Mission Street Page 2 of 3
3. There are 14 crime reporting districts in Daly City. According to the Daly City Police Department, there were a total of 268 police reports taken at the address of 6600 Mission Street between October 15, 2020, and September 3, 2025. These reports included theft, burglary, battery to domestic disturbances.
4. Grocery Outlet will be situated in the C-MU Commercial Mixed-Use zoning district, where retail stores – including grocery stores that sell alcohol – are a permitted land use. Grocery Outlet is surrounded by other light commercial uses to the north, south, and west, and residential to the east.
5. The following are the uses within proximity to Grocery Outlet that specifically attract and/or serve youth (see Attachment C – Uses That Attract or Serve Youth):
▪ Lincoln Park, 901 Brunswick Street, Daly City
▪ War Memorial, 6655 Mission Street, Daly City
▪ Our Lady of Perpetual Help School, 80 Wellington Ave, Daly City ▪ 199 Santa Barbara Avenue, Daly City
▪ Sears-Lessing Park, Southwest end of Sears Street, San Francisco
6. The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) allows up to two Off-Site licenses within census tract 6007.01. There are six current licenses issued within the census tract (see Attachment D – Existing Type 21 Licenses).
▪ 6147 Mission Street – Felix Grocery Store, Daly City
▪ 6157 Mission – Morazan Market, Daly City
▪ 98 Crocker Avenue – Crocker Market and Liquor, Daly City ▪ 108 Los Olivos Avenue – BART Grocery, Daly City
▪ 6001 Mission Street - La Loma Market #4, Daly City
▪ 6189 Mission Street – Vera Market
Summary
The City Council may desire to:
1. Deny the request that the public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance of a Type 21 license to sell beer, wine, and distilled spirits at Grocery Outlet located at 6100 Mission Street; or
2. Find that persons living in Census Tract 6007.01 are not adequately served by the existing alcoholic beverage sales outlets and that the public convenience or necessity would be served by the issuance of a license for the sale of beer and wine to Grocery Outlet located at 6100 Mission Street.
