Coastside Design Review Hearing - 08/13/2026

The County of San Mateo Coastside Design Review Committee held a meeting on August 13, 2026, to review a design permit application for a new 4,983 square foot two-story single-family residence with an attached two-car garage. The applicant presented design details emphasizing minimal grading, adherence to coastal design guidelines, and efforts to address neighbor concerns regarding privacy, views, and building mass. Public comments focused on concerns about window placement, lighting, privacy, and the impact on neighboring solar panels. The committee discussed potential design modifications, including reducing the building height by at least one foot and adjusting window treatments for privacy. The project was continued to a future meeting on October 8, 2026, to allow the applicant to submit revised plans addressing the committee's recommendations. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
