The Memo from City Staff to City Council

DATE: January 19, 2022 TO: Mayor and City Council

FROM: Bob Nisbet, City Manager

SUBJECT: Coastal Development Permit for Poplar Street Calming and Safety Project – 01/19/22 City Council Meeting

On December 14, 2021, the Planning Commission considered the City of Half Moon Bay’s application for a Coastal Development Permit and Tree Removal Permit to allow construction of the Poplar Street Traffic Calming and Safety Project (Poplar Project). The Planning Commission heard testimony, deliberated, and continued the matter by a vote of 3-0-2 (with two members recused due to FPPC conflicts of interest).

By this memo, the City Manager requests that jurisdiction over the Poplar Project be transferred to the City Council pursuant to Half Moon Bay Municipal Code 18.20.050.

Typically, CDPs are considered by the Planning Commission, and may be appealed to the City Council. The Community Development Director thus assigned this matter to the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission accepted that determination.

However, Half Moon Bay Municipal Code section 18.20.050 provides for City Council consideration in the first instance where the Council has final approval authority for other discretionary actions. In addition, the applicant (in this case, the City) may challenge the initial determination of jurisdiction.

The City acknowledges the detailed input from the Planning Commission on the Poplar Project and intends to incorporate it into the final proposal submitted to the City Council.

The City Council has ultimate funding responsibilities for this project and will also consider 21 separate agreements with Poplar Avenue property owners for funding of improvements in front of their properties. Moreover, the City seeks an expedited timeline in light of grant funding.

For these reasons, I request that this matter be referred to the City Council.

We are intending to schedule the hearing for February 15, 2022.
