PLANS and EMAIL. From Half Moon Bay Senior Planner, Scott Phillips on November 18th, 2024. The City of Half Moon Bay posted a sign on the Coastal Trail below the project site (next to SAM’s Chowder House) over this last month and people noticed, so I email Scott and this was his response.
“The project is incomplete and we are waiting on the applicant to resubmit revised materials. Realistically, we are a long ways out from scheduling any public meetings. That said, an application was submitted. Our code requires the site to be posted. See Section 18.20.060 B 3 of the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code for more information on site postings when an application is submitted.
Per Section 18.38.035 of the Half Moon Bay Municipal Code (Biological Report), the next step is for the City to hire a biologist to prepare a biological report and circulate the report for a 45-day comment period.
Once prepared, the report will be posted to the following webpage ~ City of Half Moon Bay’s Biological Reports and Environmental Documents.
The biological report and comment circulation will need to take place prior to scheduling of any public hearing and installation of story poles. Anyone is welcome to comment on the biological report once prepared and posted to the City’s website. I anticipate that the biological report will be completed and ready for comment circulation in early 2025 and the first public meeting to take place late 2025.
The City will also be selecting an environmental consultant for preparation of an environmental report per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
If you have any additional questions, you are welcome to reach out to me.”
Thank you,
Scott Phillips, Half Moon Bay Senior Planner, [email protected]
