Supervisors vote to allow no more housing on Burnham Strip

Although the San Mateo County Board of Supevisors at their final hearing on their LCP update voted to accept nearly all of the proposed updates to the Midcoast Local Coastal Program, the supervisors voted to make one significant change to the proposal.  Housing will no longer per an allowable use on the Burnham Strip, which will be re-zoned as El Granada Gateway.  While some new uses will be permited, no more housing will be allowed.

The Burnham Strip is the strip of land between Avenue Alhambra and Highway 1 in El Granada [Google map].

The supervisors also voted to consider separately the exceptions being requested by the Big Wave live/work project for mentally disabled adults.

Coastsider will post video highlights of the hearing.
