A. Official Maps. The boundaries of the zoning districts and
overlay districts established by this Ordinance are not included in
this Ordinance but are shown on the Official Zoning Maps maintained
by the City Clerk. The following maps, together with all legends,
symbols, notations, references, district boundaries, map symbols,
and other information on the maps, have been adopted by the Council
and are hereby incorporated into this Ordinance by reference, together
with any amendments previously or hereafter adopted, as though they
were fully included here.
1. City of South San Francisco Zoning Map
2. Floodplain/Sea Level Rise Overlay Map
3. Special Environmental Studies Overlay Map
B. Application of Pre-Annexation Zoning. The City may apply pre-annexation zoning to unincorporated property located within the Planning Area Boundary consistent with the South San Francisco General Plan. The pre-annexation zoning process shall comply with the provisions of Chapter
20.560 (“Prezoning Procedure”). The zoning provisions and requirements so established shall become applicable at the same time that the annexation of such territory becomes effective.
C. Alterations of Floodplain/Sea Level Rise Overlay Boundaries. The Floodplain/Sea Level Rise Overlay Map may be revised by the
City Council based on updates to the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), sea level rise science,
monitoring results, and shoreline and creek conditions. All proposals
for new construction shall be based on the Floodplain/Sea Level Rise
Overlay Map currently in effect at the time a complete project application
is submitted.
D. Uncertainty of Boundaries. If an uncertainty exists as to
the boundaries of any district shown on the Official Zoning Map, the
following rules shall apply:
1. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of
alleys, lanes, streets, highways, streams or railroads shall be construed
to follow such centerlines.
2. Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot lines, City limits,
or extraterritorial boundary lines shall be construed as following
such lines, limits or boundaries.
3. In the case of unsubsidized property or where a district boundary
divides a lot and no dimensions are indicated, the following shall
apply.
a. Lots Greater than One Acre. The location of such
boundary shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on
the Official Zoning Map.
b. Lots Less than One Acre. The lot shall be deemed
to be included within the zone which is the more restrictive.
4. In the case of any remaining uncertainty, the Chief Planner shall
determine the location of boundaries.
5. Where any public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned,
the regulations applicable to each lot of abutting property shall
apply to that portion of such street or alley added thereto by virtue
of such vacation or abandonment.
6. Where any private right-of-way or easement of any railroad, railway,
transportation or public utility company is vacated or abandoned and
said property is unclassified, said property shall be automatically
classified as being in the Public/Quasi-Public (PQP) district.
