City of South San Francisco Hillside Sign, APN: 012351110

The City of South San Francisco is considering an application to temporarily paint the concrete letters on Sign Hill in red, white, and blue to commemorate the United States Semiquincentennial, marking 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This request is evaluated under Title 20 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code and has been determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1, Section 15301, as it involves alterations to an existing facility without significant environmental impact. The project pertains to APN 012351110, the official parcel number for the Sign Hill location, and is being processed under the internal reference DR26-0008. The application was posted on May 29, 2026, as a forecasted action with no formal solicitation or set-aside provisions. All correspondence and inquiries are managed by the City’s Planning Department, with primary contact through Chief Planner Adena Friedman and the general planning email and phone line. The project is confined to the city limits of South San Francisco, California, with no federal or external agency involvement beyond local regulatory compliance.
