The Colma Creek Greenbelt Overlay District is intended to encourage
transfer of development away from parcels fronting Colma Creek to
implement the vision of the Colma Creek Greenbelt in the Lindenville
Specific Plan. The specific purposes of the Colma Creek Greenbelt
are to:
A.
Limit the potential impact of flooding on Lindenville development
so as to minimize damage to and destruction of life and property.
B.
Adapt to a changing climate by requiring resilient design and upgrades
in areas impacted by storms and sea level rise.
C.
Create new publicly accessible open spaces that encourage active
and passive recreation.
D.
Create a new active mobility corridor to support improved connectivity.
E.
Enhance South San Francisco waterways as ecological corridors, restoring
creek ecologies and creating transitional habitat zones to build resilience
and ecosystem services.
(Ord. 1649, 10/11/2023)
The Colma Creek Greenbelt Overlay District can be combined with
the zoning districts illustrated in Figure 20.190.002. In the event
of a conflict between the regulations specified in the Colma Creek
Greenbelt Overlay District and any underlying base district, the provisions
of the Colma Creek Greenbelt Overlay District shall prevail.
