Local non-profit MidPen Housing will hold a second and third Community Open House this summer to review concept site designs for a potential affordable housing development (up to 80 rental units in split-level 2-story duplexes and triplexes) on the vacant 11-acre north Moss Beach designated affordable housing site at Carlos/Sierra, across from the lighthouse:
July 11 (Monday) 3:00 to 8:00pm
August 18 (Thursday) 3:00 to 8:00pm
Farallone View School, 1100 Le Conte, Montara.
The concept site designs are based on feedback from the first Open House, held March 16, 2016. The summary report includes answers to questions. The project architect will provide a brief presentation at 15 minutes past each hour throughout the events. The Open Houses will include opportunities to talk to MidPen team members and ask questions, submit feedback on the potential design ideas, and learn more about the proposed development. Please feel free to drop by anytime between 3:00 to 8:00 pm. Children are welcome and refreshments will be served.
San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury has issued a new report on the Harbor District, recommending that the County Board of Supervisors initiate the independent study, promised in 2014, of possible scenarios for dissolution of the Harbor District so that they may make an informed decision regarding the District’s future.
The Grand Jury and the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) have repeatedly -- most recently July 2015 -- recommended dissolution of the County-wide Harbor District, which owns Pillar Point Harbor and operates Oyster Point Marina under a joint powers agreement with South San Francisco. Possible scenarios to be examined include naming the County to absorb the governing responsibilities of the District, with or without returning Oyster Point Marina to South San Francisco. The Grand Jury recommends that the study be initiated by end Sept 2016 and completed within six months.
UPDATE 9/20/16: County response to the Grand Jury report is to delay initiation of a fiscal analysis until after the close of FY 2017-18, at which time a determination may be made regarding any further analysis or action that may be warranted.
