Design Review Board Recommendation to Planning Commission On Tuesday, March 18, 2025, the Design Review Board reviewed your plans for exterior modifications and improvements to an existing community facility (Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula) at 201 West Orange Avenue, and determination that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA.
The Chief Planner and the Design Review Board have determined that this application complies with and is pursuant to Title 20, Section 20.480 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code and the City's Objective Design Standards.
Overall, the Board, recommended approval of the project to the Planning Commission.
The Design Review Board provided the following recommendations:
1. The Board liked the building design concept with the proposed material board and color palette.
2. The Board recommends adding additional screening for the roof top mechanical equipment, as the equipment will be visible from the street and viewable to the adjacent residents.
3. Check with the Building Division if EV Charging Stations will be required for the site.
4. The Board recommended adding street trees along the Orange Avenue frontage, Chinese Elm is a suggested species.
The proposed landscaping plan will work for the site. Consider not planting yarrow, as this species is a high allergen plant.
Please address these comments and any conditions from City Departments in your Planning Commission submittal.
The Department conditions are viewable and available on the City's online Permit Portal.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact the Planning Division at (650) 877-8535.
