ABAG (Association of Bay Area Governments) Agenda for their June 6 Regional Planning Committee meeting includes a draft proposal for new designation for the Midcoast.  Instead of the controversial Priority Development Area (PDA) designation proposed earlier this year, the staff is proposing "Rural Community Investment Area".  Details here. 

UPDATE 7/27/12:  The Midcoast has 5 Rural Community Investment Areas (RCIAs): Northern Montara, Moss Beach, Princeton, El Granada, and Miramar (acreage is limited - see maps).  Projects supported by any future funding under the RCIA designation should improve the pedestrian environment, enhance access for bicyclists and transit riders, and provide innovative ways to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled.  The scale and costs of these projects would be consistent with the existing character and planned densities of the Midcoast.
