San Bruno City Council Meeting 07-14-09 10f. Contract with DC&E
B
Thank
you
and
good
evening
city
council.
As
the
City
Council
knows
there
was
we
recently
adopted
a
general
plan
of
March
of
this
year.
It
was
our
first
comprehensive
general
plan
update
in
over
two
decades,
and
the
second
step
to
these
comprehensive
update
is
the
update
update
of
our
zoning
code
and
what
the
zoning
code
is.
The
regulations
within
the
Municipal
Code
that
regulate
land
use,
as
well
as
development
within
San
Bruno,
and
this
also
includes
the
update,
also
includes
an
update
to
our
subdivision
ordinance
example
of
what
we'll
be
updating.
B
The
old
general
plan
did
not
include
a
transit
corridor
area,
so
our
current
zoning
code
does
not
does
not
include
a
transit
corridor
area.
Just
has
normal
commercial
zoning,
so
that
will
be
one
example
of
what
we
update
update
our
zoning
code
map,
as
well
as
the
regulations
that
go
with
with
the
transit
corridor
area.
Simpler.
One
day
cares
currently
are
only
allowed
within
residential
zones
within
San
Bruno.
B
B
Minor
zoning
code
updates
have
been
done
over
the
years,
probably
one
or
two
a
year
over
the
the
past
20
years,
but
the
last
comprehensive
update
was
done
in
1982,
so
amount
of
time
has
passed
the
primary
goals
that
will
be
going
over
with
the
zoning
code
update
is
first,
obviously
updated
to
be
consistent
with
the
general
plan
and
state
law,
but
also
updated,
be
consistent
with
the
ongoing
planning
efforts
that
we
have
now.
As
you
know,
we're
also
doing
a
housing
element,
residential
design
guidelines,
the
transit
corridor
plan.
B
So,
since
those
are
running
on
parallel
tracks,
it
will
take
a
lot
of
coordination
with
staff
to
make
sure
that
all
those
updates
are
also
included
in
the
zoning
code
update.
The
second
goal
is
to
make
the
zoning
code
easier
to
use
to
make
it
easier
for
a
resident
or
business
own,
or
someone
looking
to
do
business
with
in
san
bruno
to
understand
what
they
could
do
with
their
property.
This
includes
the
use
of
graphics
and
also
realizing
that
a
majority
of
people,
if
not
all
people,
now
access
the
zoning
code.
B
First,
through
our
website
versus
going
and
asking
for
a
copy
of
the
written
zoning
code.
Regarding
the
selection
process,
we
sent
out
22
requests
for
proposals
to
various
planning
firms
within
the
state
of
California.
We
receive
six
proposal
all
from
qualified
firms
and
they
all
proposed
similar
budgets
that
range
from
one
hundred
and
forty
one
thousand
two
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand.
B
We
had
an
interview
panel
and
we
interviewed
all
six
firms
that
turned
in
proposals
and
the
design
community
environment
was
the
top
selection
of
the
interview
panel
and
the
main
reason
was
that
a
the
approach
to
sustainability.
They
had
a
really
good
approach
to
sustainability,
including
turning
and
a
sustainability
audit
that
showed
how
we
were
with
our
landscaping
code
and
how
we
could
approve
improved.
They
also
showed
a
great
use
of
graphics,
I
passed
out
just
a
sample
code
of
the
design
community
environment
did
for
the
city
of
chino
right
now
we
have.
B
We
have
one
or
two
examples
and
in
our
own
code,
so
I
want
to
have
a
lot
more
samples
of
graphics
to
make
it
the
zoning
code
easier
to
use.
They
also
showed
a
great
use
of
technology,
as
well
as
their
plan
for
interaction
with
staff
over
the
over
the
zoning
code
update
process,
a
quick
background
and
design
community
environment,
their
Bay
Area
firm
they've
worked
in
75
over
75
California
cities,
including
doing
zoning
code
updates
and
in
near
nearby
Bay
Area
cities.
I
mean
once
again
I
pass
that
an
example.
B
B
This
will
take
about
a
ten
months
to
go
over
this
and,
although
the
timeline
might
change
based
on
the
other
planning
processes
to
make
sure
that
they
line
up
and
everything's
consistent
between
the
transit
corridor
plan,
as
well
as
in
the
zoning
code
and
the
next
time
that
the
City
Council
will
see
this
see,
the
zoning
code
update
will
be
in
a
joint
study
session,
a
kickoff
meeting
to
go
over
well
with
design
community
environment
to
go
over
what
the
objectives
are
for.
The
zoning
code
update.
B
I
think
that
I
think
a
they'll
be
incorporated
by
reference,
so
they'll
be.
Finally
there
only
mandatory
findings
for
approval
that
you
have
to
make
for
a
residential
edition,
let's
say,
and
one
of
those
mandatory
findings
for
approval.
The
addition
has
to
be
consistent
with
the
residential
design
guidelines,
as
adopted
by
resolution
by
the
City
Council,
but
there
are
other
areas
in
terms
of
design
where
we
may
incorporate
some
of
the
graphics
from
those
residential
design
guidelines
into
the
zoning
code,
just
to
make
it
easier
for
the
user.
