Consultant Presents its Evaluation of Half Moon Bay Planning Department

For those who are interested in Half Moon Bay, planning, land use and more, read this report, which will be presented at a joint meeting with the Planning Commission and the City Council Nov. 27.

Some time back, the City hired a(nother) consultant (over the hill firm) to evaluate the Half Moon Bay Planning Department. I have spoken to this matter multiple times.

The Report is currently on the Agenda for a Special Meeting next week, at 5 p.m. Nov. 27. The meeting will be a joint meeting with the Planning Commission and the City Council. The consultant will be present. The topic will be the report they have now published.

For those that have concerns or are interested in Half Moon Bay, planning, land use and more, this is a must read. This is what we paid for and what the Council will use as their touchstone going forward.

I would strongly recommend that this meeting be packed with residents and property owners. To that end, read the report and write your questions and concerns down so you are well prepared; then provide that to the Council and Planning Commission at the meeting.

There are some very valid points, points that I agree with in this report. There are also points that I disagree with and some that make my neck hair stand up.

The report is here. Check it out and form your own conclusions.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
