Planning Commission Hearing - 08/12/2026

The County of San Mateo Planning Commission held a hearing on August 12, 2026, addressing several land use and development matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a request from the county real property division to vacate a 10-foot right-of-way between 625 and 627 Glenlock Way to accommodate a new sanitary sewer easement. The commission found the vacation consistent with the county general plan and recommended approval. Another significant agenda item was the consideration of a coastal development permit for a new single-family residence at 845 San Ramon Avenue in Moss Beach. The project included minor grading and design review, with staff recommending approval subject to a categorical exemption under CEQA. Public comments raised concerns about potential view impacts and requested the use of story poles to better assess scale and view obstruction, though the applicant and staff noted that current policy allows either story poles or renderings at the applicant's discretion. The commission also discussed fire risk conditions and upcoming planning matters, including zoning amendments and coastal program updates. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were reported during this meeting.
