Burnham Park Preliminary Plan Released for Public Review
All comments are welcome and will inform any revisions to the preliminary plan prior to submission to San Mateo County for review. Please email comments to [email protected].
Plan overview: The ADA-compliant plan is designed in three sections: a “village green” to the south, preserving the view down Avenue Portola, an active recreation area in the center across from existing buildings, and a large area to the north with small picnic and exercise areas, natural landscaping, and ocean views. A mix of wide and narrow trails run throughout the park, and at the south end a new trail would lead to the highway crossing and Coastal Trail at Co
ronado Avenue.
Parking lot: Compliance with the required setbacks for the riparian areas on either side of the current dirt lot would substantially reduce the size of the lot, so in this plan it would be moved to allow for 33 parking spaces, and on-street parking would be improved. San Mateo County is also exploring parking improvements in the Caltrans right-of-way adjacent to Highway One.
Environment: Based on recommendations from the Resource Conservation District, biotreatment areas have been added and existing streams have been made more sinuous to improve the quality of storm-water runoff that drains to the ocean.
Cost: Funds for building and maintaining the park will come from existing annual property tax allocations to GCSD; grant opportunities are also being explored.
Community driven: This preliminary plan reflects community input gathered in three GCSD outreach efforts in 2018 and 2019; the detailed reports from these efforts are available at granada.ca.gov/parks. GCSD now asks for your feedback on the preliminary Burnham Park plan to inform any further revisions before the plan is submitted to San Mateo County for review. The County review and permitting process will provide additional opportunities for public comment.

Links to previous GCSD meetings’ videos.
The Granada Community Services District (GCSD), formerly the Granada Sanitary District, gained park and recreational jurisdiction on October 1, 2014, for the unincorporated areas of El Granada, Miramar and Princeton (i.e. the “
GCSD Community”) by a positive vote of 60% of the voters in the District. This reorganization allows the district to provide parks and recreation services in addition to the sewer, solid waste and recycling services it currently provides to over 2,500 residences and businesses in the District as well as the northern portion of the City of Half Moon Bay. Solid waste and recycling services are provided by Recology of the Coast under a franchise agreement with GCSD.
The parks and recreation function is funded by utilizing a portion of GCSD’s share of San Mateo County property tax revenues, not from sewer charges. GCSD’s goal is to provide parks and recreation services that benefit the GCSD community, with a commitment to robust neighborhood outreach on new projects.
Granada Parks Advisory Committee (PAC) Agenda
GCSD owns the undeveloped “Burnham Strip” property along Obispo Street between Coronado Street and Avenue Alhambra in El Granada, which may be developed as an El Granada gateway park.
Additional potential park areas are a small GCSD-owned parcel on Capistrano Road in Princeton and the road medians in El Granada. GCSD and SMC completed a Permit Agreement in February 2018 which allows the District to make improvements to the El Granada Medians. GCSD may implement landscaping, seating, and active and passive recreational improvements on these properties, following an open and transparent community outreach process and all required permit and environmental review processes.
El Granada in 1972. Look at that big triangle of land that is now completely eroded!
