South San Francisco, CA
The Project. A comprehensive update of the City’s zoning regulations to implement the City’s General Plan through a concise and user-friendly set of regulations. The challenge was to create a logical sequence, remove ambiguity, simplify and clarify language, and, to the extent possible, create common procedures and uniform regulations and standards.
The Result. The update was comprehensive, including new districting, use classifications, development and design regulations, supplemental regulations, and procedures. The updated Zoning Ordinance effectively implements the General Plan’s vision, removes ambiguities, and corrects technical deficiencies, increasing efficiency and predictability in the process. It incorporates a combination of use-based, form-based, and performance-based standards suitable to the unique needs of the City and different sub-districts rather than a rigid, “one size fits all” approach.
