VIDEO. From the Half Moon Bay Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024 at 7:00pm, as a hybrid meeting. Full Agenda with Staff Report and Attachments.
Note: Commissioner Hernandez motion occurs at 4:36:34 (almost midnight in real time).
Half Moon Bay Planning Commission approves “The Barn” permit, with CEQA exemptions, leaving the applicant and city engineer to design a better solution for a safe exit onto Highway 1, by eliminating left-hand turns and directing people to right turns only, from the “Barn” property.
Caltrans has been repeatedly asked to respond to the safety concerns in this area near Mirada Rd, including the recent accident at Highway 1 and Mirada Road where Joaquin Dominic Jimenez was killed in a motorcycle accident. There has been no response, yet.
Applicant is willing to work with the City and Caltrans. Note that “The Barn” jurisdiction does not include traffic safety onto Highway 1, nor the nearby intersection at Mirada and Hwy 1.
The Caltrans Hwy 1 Multi-Asset Project may offer more visibility for drivers.
