Planning Commission Hearing - 07/08/2026

The County of San Mateo Planning Commission held a hearing on July 8, 2026, primarily to consider a coastal development permit and grading permit for a new single-family home at Pescadero Creek Road. The project involved the approval of an initial study mitigated negative declaration and addressed site constraints such as riparian buffers, flood zones, and prime agricultural soil. The commission discussed water well requirements, fire safety measures including water storage tanks, tree removal and replacement, and potential future agricultural use of the land. The commission voted unanimously to approve the project with conditions. Additionally, the director reported on recent board of supervisors' approval of a design review ordinance update pending coastal commission approval, upcoming general plan conformity reports related to land acquisitions, and a contract for technical assistance supporting the San Francisco airport roundtable. No new contracts or procurement awards were made during this meeting, but policy updates and land acquisition conformity reports were noted as upcoming items.
