ARTICLE / LINKS. The Half Moon Bay Planning Commission is continuing its work on the Local Coastal Program (LCP) and Land Use Plan 
(LUP) update. Since 2017, these documents have been prioritized for completion, prior to proceeding with completion of the City’s General Plan update.
The LUP consists of 9 chapters, or focus areas, several of which were reviewed by the Planning Commission in summer, 2017. Each chapter of the LUP undergoes an extensive process including review by the Planning Commission prior to presentation to the City Council for adoption.
The community is invited and encouraged to participate in upcoming study sessions on the draft LUP chapters. At each session, there will be an opportunity for public comment as well as a Planning Commission discussion and Q&A with City staff.
