Midpen Housing Moonridge 1
Moonridge I is a charming coastal community inspired by Half Moon Bay’s historic farmhouses. Offering beautifully updated 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom townhouses, Moonridge II blends modern comfort with small-town charm. Each residence features refreshed kitchens and bathrooms, generous living areas, a fenced yard, and assigned parking—creating the perfect place to relax, play, and call home.
Families love the community’s exceptional onsite amenities, including an after school program, a Head Start Center, community room with kitchen, computer center, and convenient on-site laundry. Outdoor living shines with playgrounds, basketball courts, a soccer field, community gardens, and inviting BBQ and picnic areas.
Designed as clusters of classic, turn-of-the-century farmhouse-style buildings, Moonridge II feels like its own friendly neighborhood—quiet, welcoming, and connected. Shopping, schools, scenic hiking, and public transportation are all nearby, giving residents easy access to everything they need.

Mission Statement
The purpose of this Committee is to assist in the achievement of the objectives of the Planned Agricultural District Ordinance and the San Mateo County Local Coastal Program.
The Williamson Act
The Williamson Act is a means to restrict the uses of agricultural and open space lands to farming and ranching uses during the length of the contract period. The Williamson Act Program was also envisioned as a way for local governments to integrate the protection of open space and agricultural resources into their overall strategies for planning urban growth patterns.
To this end, three principal objectives were originally outlined.
Protection of Agricultural Resources
Preservation of Open Space Land
Promotion of Efficient Urban Growth Patterns
AAC Members
15 members, consisting of one Agricultural Business, one Conservationist, seven Farmer/Growers, two Public Members and four Non-Voting members (Executive Director, San Mateo County Farm Bureau; Executive Director, National Resource Conservation Service NRCS; County Director, UC Cooperative Extension; and County Agricultural Commissioner).
San Mateo County Board of Supervisors (BoS) Agendas
The Supervisors meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month at 9:00am, as a hybrid meeting.
