The San Mateo County Local Coastal Program’s (LCP) policy limits the number of new housing units that can be built in the urban Midcoast each year to 40. Due to a large number of affordable housing unit building permits issued in 2025, the County will not be able to accept new building permit applications for new residential units in the urban Midcoast until 2028.
The County held a public meeting on June 30 to discuss proposing an amendment to the LCP to modify the 40-unit limit. Click here to fill out a Survey on which LCP cap amendment alternative would you prefer. The Survey will close on Friday, July 3, at 5 pm.
