Milestones Completed:

  • January 22, 2020: The County of San Mateo Planning Commission reviewed the request. Due to time constraints at the meeting venue, the item was continued to a later date.
 
  • June 10, 2020: The County of San Mateo Planning Commission voted in favor of a recommendation, to the Board of Supervisors, to direct County staff to submit the LCP Amendment to the California Coastal Commission.
