1 INTRODUCTION
The housing resources of the City of San Mateo are comprised of all the funds, programs, and sites that are available to be used to create additional housing affordability. There is a myriad of ways the City can address housing concerns in the community, both from a land use and from a programmatic standpoint.
The City receives and dedicates funding sources to be used in the development of affordable housing and housing related programs . These housing related programs can also be jointly managed by non -profit providers and City staff working collaboratively. The City is also responsible for ensuring that it maintains an inventory of sites that can feasibly support enough housing development to meet the goals o f the Housing Element. These three areas together make up the housing resources of the City.

2 DESCRIPTION OF HOUSING FUNDING PROGRAMS
This section will discuss the funding the City utilizes in the development of housing, especially housing that is affordable, through financial and other kinds of assistance, as well as for other housing programs.
Affordable housing projects in particular, due to the high costs of land and construction, typically require a combination of resources and partnerships to achieve development and affordability . There are a number of resources available to the City to implement its housing and community development objectives. Each funding source typically comes with a set of regulations that restricts the ways in which it may be used to ensure that they meet the parameters of the purpose of the program. Many of the programs identified herein are designed primarily to address affordability issues, as the cost of housing is a significant impediment to homeowners and renters alike.
2.1 Federal Programs
2.1.1 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The City of San Mateo has been an active participant in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for over 40 years. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awards this flexible grant program to jurisdictions through a statutory formula that uses measurements of need. CDBG funds can be used to assist low - and moderate-income persons in the form of social services activities, housing rehabilitation, economic development, neighborhood revitalization, improvement of public facilities, and prevention and elimination of slums and blight. The City’s entitlement grant has increased an average of about 5% over the last five years. It is anticipated that the CDBG grant will either remain the same or decrease; therefore, the City is budgeting a conservative 2% decrease annually over the next five years.
2.1.2 HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
The HOME program is a federal grant to participating jurisdictions determined by formula allocations.
HOME funds are directed toward the housing programs that assist persons at or below 60% of the median income, including acquisition, rehabilitation, new c onstruction, tenant -based assistance, homebuyer assistance, planning and supportive services. The City of San Mateo participates in the program as part of a consortium with the County of San Mateo and the City of South San Francisco.
2.1.3 Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC)
The Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) is an incentive for investors to provide equity to develop rental units for households at 30 - 60% of median income. The program is not a direct federal subsidy, but rather a tax incentive administered by the Internal Revenue Service. $1,200,000 in tax credits were used to help finance the Montara project in 2020 , which contained 68 affordable housing units and 12 units set-aside for formerly homeless veterans.
2.1.4 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV)
This program is administered by the San Mateo County Housing Authority with multiple eligibility criteria; including a family or a single person who is 62 years or older, disabled or pregnant, with a household annual gross income equal to or below the HUD published income limits. Households who qualify for Federal Preference are considered first and are defined as persons who are involuntarily displaced, or persons who are paying more than 50% of household income towards rent. Nearly 700 San Mateo residents are assisted annually through individual vouchers and have selected housing that distributes the assistance throughout neighborhoods in the City.
C I T Y O F S A N M A T E O 2 0 31 H O U S I N G E L E M E N T Page H-C-7
2.1.5 Other Federal Programs
There are other Federal programs that may be made available to affordable housing projects located in the City, including the Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities program in which HUD provides funding to develop and subsidize rental housing with the availability of supportive services for very low- and extremely low-income adults with disabilities. The Section 811 assistance comes in the form of project rental assistance alone. No funds are available for construction or rehabilitation. In addition, HUD-VASH is a collaborative program which pairs HUD’s Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance with VA case management and supportive services for homeless Veterans. These services are designed to help homeless Veterans and their families find and sustain permanent housing and access the health care, mental health treatment, substance use counseling, and other supports necessary to help them in their recovery process and with their ability to maintain housing in the community.
2.2 State Programs
2.2.1 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA)
The City of San Mateo began receiving funding through the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program in 2020. HCD awards the grant to cities and counties based on a formula of the amount of funding each jurisdiction receives through the CDBG program. PLHA funds can be used for predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation of low -income housing, to match funds into housing trusts or low-income housing asset funds, accessibility modifications, homeownership opportunities, rehabilitation, and other supportive housing and homelessness services. The City ’s estimated 5 -year award from HCD is $2,051,364 and therefore anticipates an award of around $400,000 annually.
2.2.2 Other State Programs
The City of San Mateo obtains funding from several State programs such as the CalHome Program, which is currently used for a home rehabilitation loan program and has a fund balance of around $560,000 in 2022. Staff keeps a close eye on funding cycles and new funding opportunities from the State as they are released. Housing developers and housing organizations are eligible to apply for State funds, such as programs sponsored by California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA), on a project-by-project basis. There are also State Low-Income Tax Credits available, which can be used to assist housing projects. Participants in First Time Homebuyer Programs often utilize the CalHFA mortgage and down payment assistance programs as they are available.
Projects within the City have also utilized other State funding programs, including the Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG), which is available as gap funding for infrastructure improvements necessary for specific residential or mixed -use infill development projects or areas and the Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) which provides matching funds to local and regional housing trust funds. Other State programs include Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program, which funds projects to support infill and compact development that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the Golden State Acquisition Fund (GSAF) which provides a flexible source of capital for the development and preservation of affordable housing properties, Project Homekey, which can be used to develop hotels, motels, hostels, single-family homes and multifamily apartments and other existing buildings to Permanent or Interim Housing, Housing for a Healthy California (HHC) which creates supportive housing for individuals who are recipients of or eligible for health care provided through the Medi -Cal program, the Multifamily Housing Program (MHP) which provides loans for new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional rental housing for lower -income households, and the Predevelopment Loan Program (PDLP) which provides short-term loans to finance affordable housing predevelopment costs.

2.3 Other Public Funds
2.3.1 Housing Successor Agency for the Redevelopment Agency As mandated by the State legislature, the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of the City of San Mateo was dissolved as of February 1, 2012. As the Housing Successor Agency, the City of San Mateo is responsible for the management of properties and funds formerly belonging to the Redevelopment Agency. The City elected to retain the housing assets and housing functions previously performed by the Agency upon dissolution. A portfolio of loans previously financed by RDA funds provides some program income to support fu ture affordable housing. At the time of dissolution, the City’s RDA fund balance of approximately $1.9M was returned to the local taxing agencies. The City elected to retain its portion of the returned funds in the amount of $706,000 to be reserved for aff ordable housing. It has also set a policy to contribute 20% of the annual increase in property tax revenues to be retained for affordable housing on an ongoing basis. The fund has dedicated $2,850,000 to the Kiku Crossing affordable housing project and the balance is expected to be at $250,000 afterwards.
2.3.2 City Housing Fund
In 1992, the City adopted the Below Market Rate (BMR) Inclusionary Program that requires a portion of affordable units be provided in new developments with 11 or more units in both rental and/or ownership projects. The program was amended on January 1, 2020. For rental projects, developers must provide 15% of units to be affordable to households up to 80% of the area median income ( AMI). In ownership developments, developers must provide 15% of the units affordable to households up to 120% AMI.
Additional affordable units can be provided for bonuses and concessions. When the amount of required BMR units includes a fraction above 0.5, the requirement is rounded up, but when it is between 0.1 and
0.4, an in-lieu fee is charged. This fee has become a source of funds that may be used for housing policies and programs. This fund also contains miscellaneous housing revenues collected from subor dination processing and loan payoffs from the old First Time Homebuyer program.
2.3.3 Commercial Linkage Fee (CLF)
In 2016 , the City adopted a new ordinance to establish a commercial linkage fee. The fee, which is collected when a building permit for a nonresidential use is issued, is to be used for the creation and preservation of affordable housing. It is calculated by using the gross floor area of net new commercial space, excluding structured parking. The fee rates are adjusted annually using the construction cost index, but the City maintains three tiers of pricing for the fee, with retail/service at the least expensive, hotel at middle pricing, and office/research at the highest rates.
2.3.4 San Mateo County Affordable Housing Fund
The County of San Mateo administers the Affordable Housing Fund. On April 8, 2013, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved the allocation of approximately $13,400,000 of unrestricted general funds for affordable housing purposes. These funds, which initiated the County’s Affordable Housing Fund (AHF), were de rived from a one -time distribution of Housing Trust Funds held by former redevelopment agencies in San Mateo County. There have been eight subsequent AHF competitive funding rounds, using a c ombination of County general funds, Measure K funds, San Mateo County Housing Authority Moving to Work Housing Assistance Program Reserves, HOME funds, CDBG funds, and funds allocated to the County from HCD. The Kiku Crossing affordable housing project rec eived an allocation of $5.185M from the AHF.
C I T Y O F S A N M A T E O 2 0 31 H O U S I N G E L E M E N T Page H-C-9
2.4 Private For -Profit and Nonprofit Sources
2.4.1 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)
Several opportunities exist for partnership with local lenders via the Community Reinvestment Act. This law requires local lenders to analyze the lending needs of the community in which they do business, particularly the needs of low and moderate -income persons, and develop programs to address those needs. To date several lenders have offered favorable terms on first mortgages for the First Time Home Buyer program which has provided tremendous support to the program. Other lenders have assisted new construction projects in the form of construction loans and permanent financing. The City considers this a beneficial resource for future partnerships as well.
2.4.2 Private Developers
In any housing project the City undertakes with private developers, the City attempts to leverage its resources as much as possible. The City attempts to provide the "gap" financing that is needed to make an affordable housing project feasible. Private developers are very interested in developing housing because of the current high demand and the City continues to work with them to find ways to include affordability within their projects. With the current demand for housing, the City sees good opportunities to work with the private sector in the area of new housing construction over the next eight years.
2.4.3 Non-Profit Agencies
There are several partnership opportunities with non -profit organizations. Foundations and lender consortiums provide means of financial assistance. Community service organizations provide housing services and manage housing programs. Non -profit developers produce new affordable units. To date , the majority of new affordable units have been sponsored by non-profit developers. This trend will most likely continue since the federal programs strongly encourage the use of non -profit agencies for housing programs.
2.4.4 Housing Endowment And Regional Trust (HEART)
The Housing Endowment And Regional Trust (HEART) of San Mateo County is a regional trust fund for affordable housing in San Mateo County. It has a revolving loan fund to provide financing for affordable housing developments usually in the form of short -term gap or predevelopment financing. HEART provided financing for Kiku Crossing in 2022.
HEART’s “First Time Homebuyer ” Program provides below market rate second loans as down payment assistance for persons who make up to $180,000 per year and households that make up to $220,000 per year. The program is also structured to eliminate private mortgage insurance which results in lowering the total monthly housing payment for homebuyers.
The City is partnering with HEART to create pre -approved designs for ADUs to allow for streamlined application processing and approval and incorporating environmentally friendly design. The goal of the initiative is to increase ease of ADU production, and therefore increase affordable housing production.
Four designs have been created at different unit sizes to accommodate the size constraints of different sites – studio, 1 bedroom (square), 1 bedroom (rectangular), and 2 bedrooms.
As new federal, state and local sources of funds appear, the City will integrate them into its programs and look for new solutions to meeting the affordable housing needs. It also continues to aggressively seek other potential financing sources and partnership opportunities.

3 HOUSING -RELATED PROGRAMS
3.1 Minor Home Repair
The Minor Home Repair program provides these services free of charge to low -income homeowners.
Owners are entitled to free minor exterior or interior repairs. Repairs also include accessibility modifications and simple energy efficiency improvements. The overwhelming majority of participants in this program is senior citizens. An average of 35 minor home repair projects were completed annually during the previous housing element cycle.
3.2 Home Rehabilitation
The City operates a similar, but separate program for home repairs that constitute major upgrades. The program offers assistance to low -income homeowners in the form of deferred payment loans up to a maximum of $60,000 for home rehabilitation. The program is limited to properties that have 1 -4 units.
Loans are for a 20-year term with a 3% interest rate. While the program has received interest from the community, there have been no rehabilitations completed through this program as of 2022.
3.3 Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction
The City developed and implements lead -based paint regulations in accordance with HUD Guidelines 24 CFR Part 35 and 40 CFR Part 745 last revised 2012.
3.4 First Time Home Buyers Program
This program provides first time buyers the opportunity to purchase condominiums as they become available for resale at two City sponsored complexes, which are Meadow Court and Gateway Commons, and have 70 and 93 affordable housing units respectively. This project-based approach is also augmented by new ownership units that either the City builds , or private developers build in compliance with the City’s Below Market Rate Program.
3.5 Acquisition of Land
The City is always looking for opportunities to purchase land to assist the development of housing. This includes land banking for the development of owner and rental housing, senior and family housing, transit-oriented housing, and mixed-use developments. Currently, the City owns two properties within downtown San Mateo, one of which is at the intersection of 4 th Avenue and Railroad Avenue. The sites comprise a surface parking lot for Talbot’s, a closed toy store . The City plans to use th is site for the development of affordable housing in a public/private partnership with a $1 per year lease. This site is included in the Sites Inventory as there is a proposal to develop 71 units affordable at the very-low to low- income levels, including family housing and one manager’s unit, on this site as part of a larger mixed-use development on this block. Details about the site characteristics and development proposal are shown on the Figure 1 map and included below in Section 4.4 as the “Bespoke Project.” The Sites Inventory also identifies a third City owned parcel, located at 4142 S. El Camino Real, that is currently vacant. Programs to support the development of affordable housing on both of these sites are included in Policy H 1.2 of the base document.
3.6 Acquisition and Rehabilitation of Existing Housing
The City also partners with nonprofit organizations to purchase and rehabilitate existing housing and make it more affordable. As funds are available, the City will consider purchasing multi-family complexes and/or single-family homes to make available for rental housing. This helps preserve the existing housing stock C I T Y O F S A N M A T E O 2 0 31 H O U S I N G E L E M E N T Page H-C-11
by ensuring adequate property management standards and adds to the City’s affordable housing stock.
The City typically funds these types of projects with HOME and RDA Housing Successor funds.
In addition, the City will consider purchase of individual condominium units in private developments, as funds are available. These units would be included in the existing First Time Homebuyer Program and sold to moderate-income households with the same loan terms and resale price restrictions.
3.7 Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO)
The City no longer administers its own HOME programs after entering into a consortium. However, San Mateo County will coordinate with HIP Housing Development Corp. (HHDC) or any other qualified CHDO to apply the annual increment of HOME funds that are channeled directly to CHDOs. The HOME funds will be used to assist persons who make less than 60% of the area median income.
3.8 New Construction
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has had significant impact on the cost of construction, the City sees the potential for more partnership opportunities to develop new housing with both for -profit and nonprofit developers, mostly due to the wide array of financing tools currently available. Developers have become far more knowledgeable about how to apply for and combine the various government program funds and available private funding to build affordable housing.
3.9 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
The City's Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) ordinance, most recently updated in 2022, allows the construction of modest units sometimes referred to as "granny units" in residentially zoned neighborhoods. These units are relatively inexpensive to rent due to their size and are often occupied by family members as a way to live together yet maintain an element of privacy. Based on their size and characteristics, ADUs are a housing type that contributes to both the affordable and Missing Middle housing categories.
3.10 Special Needs Housing
The City provided extensive funds for acquisition/rehabilitation of an apartment building formerly owned by private individual s with County contracts. This project, known as the Humbolt House, operates as permanent supportive housing for individuals with mental illness. The City also provided land and subsidies to construct permanent affordable housing with 10 units set aside for households with mental health issues at risk of homelessness as referred by the County for the Delaware Pacific project. Through the PLHA program, the City provides funding for staff salaries at the Montara affordable housing project, which contains a set aside of 12 units for formerly homeless veterans. These staff will manage the client services and case management needed for the tenants. The goals for this program are to aid in build ing long term stability in their living situations. These subsidies are in addition to assistance being granted to the project from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The City provided land and subsid ies to construct permanent affordable housing with 8 units set aside for individuals with development disabilities, and 16 units set aside for formerly homeless individuals at the Kiku Crossing project, which is currently under construction.
3.11 Homeless Programs
Although the City does not directly manage any homeless prevention or assistance programs, it collaborates and financially supports a variety of programs countywide. The sources of funds for homeless programs in the City of San Mateo are CDBG, PLHA, Afford able Housing Funds, and City Housing funds.
County level funding that helps to benefit San Mateo residents in need include McKinney -Vento,
C I T Y O F S A N M A T E O
20 4 0 G E N E R A L P L A N
H O U S I N G E L E M E N T
Page H-C-12
Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re -Housing Program ( HPRP), and Section 8 programs. All homeless outreach, assistance and prevention programs are conducted by local nonprofit organizations in coordination with various local government agencies. The City works with several groups to provide emergency shelters, transitional housing, and support services for the homeless as described in the 2018- 2023 Consolidated Plan. The City collaborates with the County of San Mateo on countywide homeless counts, which occurs every two years; and follows the County’s “Continuum of Care” (CofC) program to address homeless which is described in the “Regional Collaborations” section below. In coordination with other jurisdictions in the county, the following shelter operations and expansion efforts the City supports are as follows:
3.11.1 LifeMoves Shelter Network
The City has provided operational funds in the past and may continue based on available funds through the CDBG program to support LifeMoves for shelter operations within City limits . They operate in two sites located in the City: supportive housing at the Vendome (which is not a shelter), and the First Step for Families shelter. For the Vendome, the City provided 100% of acquisition/rehab ilitation costs and supports their efforts to obtain HUD funds (PUSH) for operations through the Continuum of Care process.
For First Step for Families, the City provided extensive capital funding to develop the property and starting in 2020 , the Community Resource Commission awarded CDBG grants for operations of the shelter.
Through countywide collaboration, the City also supports the efforts of other shelters run by LifeMoves throughout San Mateo County, including the Coast House, Family Crossroads, Haven Family House, Maple Street Shelter, and Redwood Family House.
3.11.2 Safe Harbor Emergency Shelter
The City provides $15,000 annual ly from City Housing for the operation of Safe Harbor, the regional emergency shelter for adult individuals located in South San Francisco and operated by Samaritan House.
After the basic human needs have been met and shelter clients have been stabilized, Safe Harbor provides case management for financial counseling including job search and employment services as well as budgeting to help achieve financial self-sufficiency. The program also provides housing search assistance, including assistance to find subsidized housing when possible. One example is access to the San Mateo County Housing Readiness Voucher program which includes three years of continuous case management and rental housing vouchers. Safe Harbor’s overall goal is to ensure stabilized housing for three years.
3.11.3 Stone Villa Inn
Through the Homekey program, San Mateo County plans to perform a conversion of the hotel Stone Villa Inn into an emergency shelter , which will be located within the City . The hotel currently contains 44 guestrooms, which could be conver ted into use for individual shelter rooms. Additionally , the City will support these efforts as a part of the CofC and extend its network of homeless services to the future clients of the shelter.
3.12 Regional Collaborations
City staff are active members of the following regional collaboratives to address a wide variety of issues associated with homelessness and homeless prevention.
3.12.1 Inter-Agency Council (IAC)
The Inter-Agency Council (IAC) is a countywide consortium of housing stakeholders to develop and support the San Mateo County HOPE: 10 -year Plan to End Homelessness. This plan focusses on the provision of new affordable housing opportunities rather than development of new shelters.
C I T Y O F S A N M A T E O 2 0 31 H O U S I N G E L E M E N T Page H-C-13
3.12.2 Continuum of Care
The Continuum of Care (CofC) committee for San Mateo County implements its plan to serve homeless persons and families. Through this collaboration of service providers and local government agencies, efforts are coordinated for outreach, needs assessment, provision of services for the homeless. The consortium also determines the priorities and allocation of Countywide Emergency Shelter Grant funds.
In 2016, the CofC released its current Strategic Plan titled “Ending Homelessness in San Mateo County .” From this plan, the Coordinated Entry System (CES) was created. CES is a centralized system that pulls together the service providers across the county to ensure that resources are available to all clients regardless of which jurisdiction an individual enters the system from.
3.12.3 HIP Housing Self Sufficiency Program
Staff serves on the selections committee for entry into the HIP Housing Self Sufficiency Program, which provides support services and rent al assistance for candidates through educational and/or vocational training plans. The program helps clients find employment at a level to reduce the need for government assistance payments. The program provides deep supportive services to help clients move toward self- sufficiency within a two-year time period.
3.13 Chronic Homelessness
The Housing Outreach Team (HOT) is a multi -disciplinary team, including City staff, formed through the HOPE initiative that addresses chronic homelessness by outreach and engagement. This program helps to provide housing and bring medical, mental health an d substance abuse support services to those who might not otherwise seek such services. The outreach and case management of this team supports the residents of The Vendome, a permanent supportive housing SRO in Downtown San Mateo. The Vendome was acquired and renovated by the City with various housing financial resources in 2009. The Vendome will continue to serve HOT identified clients and other very low-income residents this program year.
3.14 Homeless Prevention
As detailed under the sections below, the City will provide assistance grants to help prevent further homelessness. In addition to the programs identified below, Samaritan House, as well as other local agencies, provides services for the extremely low - income residents that include homeless prevention such as Rapid Rehousing, and emergency housing vouchers . However, these other programs are funded by other jurisdictions in the County.
3.14.1 Legal Aid Society, HomeSavers Program
Legal Aid assists tenant litigants with unlawful detainers and related matters to help people stay in their homes across the Bay Area region. They conduct weekly clinics at community centers and at the County Court House advising and representing applicants as necessary in court proceedings. Their goal is to keep people in their homes and prevent homelessness through their advocacy. The City traditionally funds them annually through the CDBG program. They negotiate with landlords on tenant’s behalf regarding other issues that threaten their ability to live in safe, decent, affordable housing. Their goal is to counsel 480 individuals in 160 households.
3.14.2 LifeMoves, Rapid Rehousing Program
LifeMoves operates the City’s Rapid Rehousing program for individuals and families at great risk of experiencing homelessness. Clients are given direct financial assistance to resolve debt related to housing expenses as well as case management to connect them to resources to stabilize their finances and overall wellbeing. The program is funded through PLHA as has the goal of serving five individuals and five families during its first year of operations. This goal is expected to increase in later years with increased funding.

3.15 Discharge Policy
The City does not directly fund any institutions requiring discharge. These policies are requirements of health institutions to discharge patients experiencing homelessness to a safe and appropriate location , offer meals and weather -appropriate clothing, distribution of needed medicines, and providing the necessary transportation . These institutions are within the jurisdiction of the County of San Mateo.
Discharge policies are a component of the County’s HOPE 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness.

4 SITES INVENTORY
Government Code Section 65583(a)(3) requires local governments to prepare an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having the potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites. The inventory of land suitable for residential development shall be used to identify sites that can be developed for housing within the planning period (Section 65583.2). To create this list, City staff undertook an extensive process to review the feasibility of housing development for every site located within the key study areas that had been identified by the community while weighing in the expertise of staff, consultants, and developers . The original draft sites inventory was posted to the City website in December 2021 for public comment. The inventory has been updated since based on additional analysis or in response to public comments.
In 2019, City staff began a series of public outreach workshops through the General Plan 2040 Update , and asked community members to select target areas where they believed future housing development would be most suitable. From this process, the City identified ten study areas for the 6th Housing Element Cycle’s sites inventory. Then, staff analyzed development trends from the previous five years (2019-2023) to determine expected densities for potential redevelopment when weighed against the existing site constraints such as zoning, size, and neighborhood trends. Through this process, staff was able to calculate the realistic redevelopment capacity of these sites. Within these study areas, there are currently enough sites zoned to accommodate 14,561 new housing units in the City of San Mateo. The affordability breakdown of these sites is 4,778 lower Income units, 1,899 moderate-Income units, and 7,884 above Moderate-Income units. The sites for affordable developments were spread throughout the City to avoid adding to any Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RECAP).
4.1 RHNA Status
For the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update, the City of San Mateo has been assigned a RHNA of 7,015 units:
• Very Low Income – 1,777 units
• Low Income – 1,023 units
• Moderate Income – 1,175 units
• Above Moderate Income – 3,040 units
Overall, pipeline projects (are those with planning approvals, entitlement, under construction, or under review) total 4,787 units, including 784 lower income units, 177 moderate income units, and 3,826 above moderate income units. The affordability of these units is based on the project approval, with affordable units being provided as part of the City’s inclusionary housing requirements.
In addition, the City anticipates an annual average of 55 ADUs for a total of 440 ADUs over the next eight years. Based on ABAG’s HCD -approved ADU Survey, the City can expect ADU construction to produce approximately 132 very low income units, 1 32 low income units, 1 32 moderate income units, and 4 4 above moderate income units.
Accounting for pipeline projects and projected ADUs, the City has a remaining RHNA of 2,228 units (2,016 lower income units, 998 moderate income units, and (786) above moderate income units). The City must demonstrate that it has adequate sites to fully accommodate its remaining RHNA for all income groups.

4.2 On -Site Constraints Analysis
The City of San Mateo is a fully urbanized municipality serviced by Pacific Gas and Electric ( PG&E), Cal Water, Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID), and its own wastewater treatment plant for sewage. All sites on the inventory have access to electric, natural gas, water, sewage, public streets, and other infrastructure needs for housing redevelopment. To start service at any site would not prove infeasible for installation and standard connections to the existing systems and does not present a constraint.
Air quality and noise are identified as potential environmental constraints on 55 sites due to proximity to highways and railways . However, air quality may be addressed through incorporation of mechanical filtration systems that can adequately filter air particulates for housing projects. Noise impacts can also be mitigated through enhanced construction materials such as double or triple paned windows and sound attenuating insulation. During project review, i ndividual projects near highways and railways are evaluated with project-specific technical studies that analyze these constraints and provide appropriate mitigation measures.
21 sites in the inventory have been identified to lie within the flood zone or adjacent to creeks. The City requires that new housing development within the 100-year flood plain raise the lowest living level above base flood elevation to avoid the risks of flooding. Sites located near or on creeks are subject to additional creek setbacks, which prohibit development within 30 feet of the center line of any creek or 20 feet of the top of a bank. The identified sites have existing structures located outside these creek setbacks that can be repurposed or redeveloped for housing . Neither constraint would limit the ability of the sites to produce new housing.
In the previous Housing Element 5th Cycle, the City approved several housing projects that included lot consolidation: The Lark, Grand Blvd Townhomes, Hacienda Mateo, 737 2nd Ave, Block 21, Concar Passage, Hillsdale Terraces, 4 W. Santa Inez Condos, and Kiku Crossing. The City has a consistent track record of approving projects that include lot consolidation. Additionally, the City’s zoning code encourages lot consolidation through higher allowable densities for larger lots. Lot consolidation is expected to continue for new housing projects throughout the next Housing Element Cycle , and this is further supported by current pipeline projects that are under review (e.g. Block 20 and Bespoke) and recently approved projects (e.g., Nazareth Vista).
4.3 Non -Vacant Site Redevelopment Analysis
The City is relying on many non-vacant sites with high redevelopment potential for purposes of meeting its RHNA allocation. The use of these non-vacant sites is justified as it can be demonstrated by a significant number of recent projects at similar sites as the development stock in the City matures; as well as several in-progress development applications as demonstrated in sections 4.4 and 4.5 below. In the previous Housing Element Cycle, the City received four projects for missing middle housing that were previously on single-family home sites. These sites with pipeline projects have been identified as: Grand Boulevard Townhomes, Hacienda Mateo, 737 2nd Avenue, and the Gum Stre et Duplexes in Section 4.4 below. The City was able to approve these projects without rezoning and produced a total of 19 additional units. This trend is expected to continue, with the recent approval of a 10-unit project at 4 W. Santa Inez (net increase of 8 units). This demonstrates that the City’s existing zoning allows for a range of housing types and sizes.
The City currently has t wo developments in-progress for multi-family housing that contain parcels that were previously single -family ho mes. The projects have been identified as Fremont Terrace (200 S.
C I T Y O F S A N M A T E O 2 0 31 H O U S I N G E L E M E N T Page H-C-17
Fremont Street) and Block 20 , as discussed further in Section 4. 5. Together, they will create 98 new housing units, with 11 affordable units. These projects demonstrate that with the right location, low- density housing can be redeveloped under the City’s existing zoning to generate additional units that include affordable units under the City’s BMR Ordinance. As the City undergoes the General Plan Update, similar sites will be identified, which will continue the trend of creating new areas of appropriate housing density.
The majority of sites are non-vacant, with non-vacant sites accommodating more than 50% of the lower income units. However, this will not be an impediment to development as the type of sites used for the inventory are consistent with those that have been redeveloped into housing projects in the last Housing Element Cycle . The City has received several applications for projects that involved redeveloping underutilized, low-density commercial property into full housing or mixed-use housing projects. Nine key projects that fit this description are: Concar Passage, Azara, The Lark ( Park 20), Hillsdale Inn, Nazareth Plaza, Trag’s Market (303 Baldwin), Hillsdale Terraces, Peninsula Heights, and 1919 O’Farrell. Combined, they will produce a total of 1,902 new housing units, with 172 affordable units. This trend can be expected to continue, with owner/developer interest in redevelopment being expressed for many of the sites listed in the inventory, such as the Hillsdale Mall, Peninsula Heights, Marriot Residence Inn, The Fish Market, Bayshore Commons, Ah Sam Floral Co., The Atrium, and the Bel Mateo Shopping Center. Rather than the existing uses discontinuing from lack of interest , market trends reveal that developers have bought out long-term businesses to allow redevelopment into housing or utilized phased development or partial site redevelopment to allow existing uses to remain while new housing was developed . Furthermore, these sites do not require rezoning, as residential development is an allowed use on the commercial and office sites included in the inventory.
Table 1a and 1b below shows the projects that have been approved since 2019 and illustrates the characteristics of existing uses. (attached to the end of the document) lists the parcels considered and included in the sites inventory. Existing characteristics of each parcel, including parcels that have planning approvals, developer/owner interests, or are developed owned, are used to correlate parcels with potential development potential.
In selecting the sites to be included in the sites inventory, the City utilizes objective criteria to evaluate each parcel for near-term redevelopment. Sites meeting either one of the five factors below are included in the sites inventory. These factors are most direct in explaining why existing uses would not impede redevelopment.
1. Site with property owner or developer interest in redevelopment, which indicates that the existing uses do not have long-term viability or do not represent the highest and best uses given the current and projected market conditions.
2. Site that is developer owned, which indicates the property is held for redevelopment purposes.
3. Site with previous proposal for redevelopment, indicating interest and intent for redevelopment.
4. Vacant site.
5. Sites containing limited improvements based on the nature of the uses (such as parking lots, outdoor storage, primarily vacant). Specifically, all sites identified as meeting this criterion are parking lots, which have no or limited structures to impede redevelopment.
Otherwise, sites that meet at least three of the following factors (#6 to #10) are included in the sites
C I T Y O F S A N M A T E O

H O U S I N G E L E M E N T
Page H-C-18
inventory. Please note that due to the quality of the data obtained from the San Mateo County Assessor Office, no parcels contain data for all the factors used.
6. Existing uses are similar to uses that have been recycled based on recent trends as demonstrated by projects presented in Section 4.3 and regionally. Such uses include:
a. Retail/shopping center
b. Banks
c. Office building
d. Gas station and auto-related uses
e. Grocery stores
f. Lower density residential uses
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated many trends that had already been set in motion:
• Increased online shopping, reducing demand on retail space • Increased eBanking, resulting in banks consolidating local branches – a recent article in BankingDive.com indicates the increasing trend of branch closures. Bank of America’s strategic plan focuses on pursuing new markets such as Milwaukee and New Orleans and to grow its market share with a small number of centers. As one new location opens, the bank will close two existing locations.1 Well Fargo Bank is also among some of the major banks that are closing many local branches. In the month of May 2023 alone, Wells Fargo closed 17 branch offices nationwide. Single use bank buildings surrounded by large parking areas are particularly conducive to closures. • Increased remote working, reducing demand on office space • Increased fuel efficiency and reliability of vehicles, and popularity of hybrid and electrical vehicles, reducing demand for auto-related services • Increased use of virtual meetings and increased popularity of Airbnbs, reducing business travel and demand on hotel accommodation (especially old motels)
7. Age of structure – in general, buildings more than 30 years old begin to show signs of fatigue and often requires significant investments to modernize. A retail shopping center, however, is considered outdated if it has not been renovated within the last 15 years. Recent news articles comparing the Westfield Mall in Downtown San Francisco and that in Santa Clara points to the critical differentiator – Santa Clara Westfield Mall has undergone a $1.1 billion renovation in 2019, whereas the Downtown San Francisco Westfield Mall has not been renovated for more than 16 years. This is because retail trends are fluid and reflect what are “fashionable” at the time. Furthermore, Table 1 shows that commercial/retail structures built in the 1990s (as late as 1997) had been demolished for new development. Therefore, this analysis uses 30+ years as the age threshold for most uses, but 20+ years as the age threshold for retail/commercial uses.
However, the quality of data from the County Assessor Office limits the use of this factor. Many parcels are missing data for the year the building was built. While most non-vacant parcels (if
1 Bankingdive.com, June 14, 2023.
C I T Y O F S A N M A T E O 2 0 31 H O U S I N G E L E M E N T Page H-C-19
not all) included in the inventory have older buildings and often show signs of delayed maintenance and are outdated in style, the lack of complete data prevents the use of this factor for many parcels.
8. Single-story building – as demonstrated in Table 1 and , recent projects and pipeline projects involve demolition of mostly single-story buildings, although one project demolished a three- story office building for new mixed use development.
9. Improvement to Land Value (ILV) Ratio – ILV can reflect the potential profitability of redeveloping an existing property but should be considered in conjunction with other factors. In general, a low ILV ratio of 1.0 shows high potential for redevelopment, as the land is worth more than the improvements on site. A low ILV ratio is also often a result of lack of significant improvements in recent years that would trigger a reinvestment. HCD Sites Inventory Guidance also uses an ILV ratio of 1.0 as an indicator of potential redevelopment.
However, office buildings, commercial/retail centers, and hotel/motels often have high ILV ratios that are beyond 2.0. A typical shopping center has an ILV ratio of 2.50 to 3.50. As shown in Table 1 of recent projects, the demolished shopping center had an ILV of 2.60. Also in the sites inventory, parcels with owner/developer interests for redevelopment, existing ILV for many uses have high ILV ratios well above 1.0, including a hotel/motel at 1.9 and a commercial center at over 3.0.
A high ILV combined with other factors such as high/persistent vacancies, lower than market rents, and high maintenance costs due to older age of structures, aging infrastructure, and utilities, would become a financial liability to the property owner. This is because a high ILV ratio means high property taxes regardless of whether the property is generating adequate incomes for a reasonable return.
Therefore, this analysis uses a 2.5 ILV for commercial centers/office buildings; and a threshold of
1.0 ILV for other uses.
10. Lot Coverage – lot coverage is calculated using building footprint information downloaded from the County of San Mateo GIS data sources. The City in most cases does not regulate development through lot coverage. The building envelope is regulated by setbacks and height.
As shown in , among the pipeline projects and parcels with developer/owner interest for redevelopment, the average lot coverage (building footprint over lot area) is about 38 percent, but ranges from 0 percent (such as parking lots) and as high as 98 percent (such as multi-story commercial/office buildings). Therefore, this sites inventory includes parcels with lot coverage up to 50 percent, indicating highly underutilized parcels with outdated site designs that leave large areas as surface parking or landscaping.
In recent years, the City has received very few development proposals or interest in commercial-only development. Most projects involve a residential component or are residential-only projects.
Specifically, within the last four years (since 2019), of the 24 major development applications under review or approved, only two applications (9 percent) did not involve a residential component. This represents a significant trend of converting excess commercial properties into mixed use or residential uses and is consistent with the experiences of other communities in the region and is also expected to continue or accelerate in the future. More importantly, the sites inventory includes a substantial buffer beyond RHNA under the existing land use policy, with the anticipated General Plan Update, and the buffer will increase with the proposed land use policy (Policy H 1.20).
4.4 Lot Consolidation
C I T Y O F S A N M A T E O
20 4 0 G E N E R A L P L A N
H O U S I N G E L E M E N T
Page H-C-20
The City does not intend to utilize small independent parcels to meet lower income RHNA requirements.
Most small parcels included in the inventory are either already consolidated or mostly consolidated for redevelopment. The City is working diligently with other property owners for lot consolidation.
The City has a strong history of consolidating small parcels to facilitate larger-scale residential and mixed use development. As shown in Section 4.5 on Recent Development Projects, multiple projects were developed by consolidating small parcels into larger sites:
• Grand Blvd Townhomes (3 small parcels to 0.64 acre) - 11 units • Hacienda Mateo (8 small parcels to 0.41 acre) - 14 units • 737 2nd Avenue (8 small parcels to 0.37 acre) - 12 units • Gum Street Duplexes (8 small parcels to 0.55 acre) - 8 units Similarly, among the Opportunity Sites/Pipeline Projects in Section 4.6, many projects also involve lot consolidation. Specifically, the majority of these sites have already been consolidated (i.e., under common ownership). Others are completing the process and are considered mostly consolidated:
• Block 20 (5 small parcels to 1.16 acres, consolidated) - 72 units • Nazareth Vista (2 small parcels to 0.64 acre, consolidated) - 94 units • Concar Passage (4 large and 4 small parcels to 14.53 acres, partially consolidated) 847 - units • Hillsdale Inn (2 large and 1 small parcels to 3.1 acres, consolidated) - 153 units • Hillsdale Terraces (3 small parcels to 0.99 acre, consolidated) - 50 units • 4 West Santa Inez Condos (2 small parcels to 0.25 acre, consolidated) - 10 units • 445 South B Street (6 small parcels to 1.16 acres, consolidated) - 71 units • Hillsdale Mall (4 large and 3 small parcels to 32.6 acres, mostly consolidated - 418 units • Downtown Cluster (2 large and 1 small parcels to 3.14 acres, mostly consolidated) - 365 units • E Poplar Ave/San Mateo Drive (2 small parcels to 0.62 acre, consolidated) - 21 units For other sites in the inventory identified for lot consolidation, the City is diligently working with the property owners to facilitate lot consolidation. These sites typically have some degree of common ownership and/or are considered feasible for lot consolidation due to shared access or parking.

Based on the history described in Table 1 and 1a and methodology further described in Section 4.8, the Sites Inventory calculates the realistic capacity of housing opportunity as 90% of base General Plan Land Use Designation density for sites that are residential, mixed-use, office, or commercial. Note that some project sites appear in both tables because those sites had an approved project and subsequently the developer has submitted an application for a revised project.
2 The new proposed residential development application will supersede the existing approved project for the 666 Concar Dr. Mixed-Use Project in Table 1.

Site Conditions Prior to Redevelopment:
These parcels were previously occupied by residential buildings constructed in the 1910s and 1930s.
All three of these buildings were single family homes until the 1950s, when the largest of the three was converted into a duplex. It was further subdivided in 1960 to become a triplex. In total, there were 5 units on this consolidated site when the redevelopment was pr oposed.
Development:
The existing structures were demolished to construct 8 detached townhouse units, for a net increase of three units, totaling approximately 12,568 square feet of floor area. Planning entitlements for the project were approved in September 2007. Due to the economic conditions and real estate conditions at the time, the project was soon put on hold. A building permit for construction was issued in 2017 and the project was completed in 2018.
This development is a local example of a missing middle-housing project.
Site Constraints
None.
It should be noted that while the lot size is less than 0.5 acres, this site is underutilized with capacity for additional density. While this developer did not choose to maximize density or utilize the State density bonus, other developers of similarly sized properties may choose to utilize the State density bonus to add units above the City’s base density.
Proximity to Transit:
Located within 0.8 miles of San Mateo Caltrain Station and 0.8 miles to S El Camino Real.

Site Conditions Prior to Redevelopment:
The buildings situated at 737 and 739 2nd Avenue were previously a small market and an associated residence that were built before 1920. A Historic Resource Evaluation Report was prepared to assess these structures. According to the report, the market qualified as a historical resource for the purposes of CEQA as it may be the earliest example of a wood-frame, false front commercial structure in San Mateo. Prior to the application for redevelopment, the remaining lot area had been vacant.
Development:
The project consists of seven townhome units, each of which are three-bedrooms units. The historic market building has been preserved and incorporated into the project, while the associated residential building was demolished. Planning entitlements for the development and a building permit were issued in 2016. Construction was completed, and the building was occupied in 2018.
This development is a local example of a missing middle-housing project.

Prior to redevelopment, the site consisted of a single-family home constructed in 1915 and a residential duplex built in the early 1950s. A historical study was conducted to assess the historical status of the single-family home and found that the building did not possess historical significance.
Development:
The project resulted in the construction of eight total units—four duplexes with two units each. Each unit has three bedrooms that range in size from 3,572 to 3,879 square feet. Planning entitlements for the development were approved and a building permit was issued in 2015. Construction concluded in 2017.
This development is a local example of a missing middle-housing project.

Site Conditions Prior to Redevelopment:
The parcels along E 4th Ave are currently occupied by a variety of commercial and residential uses. There is a Taco Bell on this site that was built in the 1970s and has an associated surface parking lot. A daycare occupies a nearby building on the corner of E 5 th Ave and S Delaware St. There are two single family homes along S Delaware, one of which currently houses the San Mateo Japanese American Community Center. The gas station on this site was originally constructed in the early 1950s; it has already b een demolished in preparation for redevelopment.
Proposed Development:
The applicant proposes to demolish all existing on-site structures to build a new six-story mixed use building consisting of 142,046 square feet of office uses and 86 residential units. Nine units are designated to be affordable at the very low-income level or 50% AMI. The project is currently under review and expected to be available within the planning period.
Site Constraints:
Most of the parcels are owned by different parties which may pose a problem. There is a previously existing gas station that was removed and a case closure letter was issued for the site by the County of San Mateo, Environmental Health Services in November 2019. Additional cleanup, such as removing any residual contaminated soil can be addressed during construction of the project and is not anticipated to delay completion of the project. The project also proposes demolition of two historic buildings on one parcel, which is currently undergoing an Environmental Impact Review (EIR). However, the City Council has authority to override the EIR results and approve the demolition for housing.

Previous Entitlement – Approved December 2023
Proposed Net Increase in Units: 94
Site Conditions Prior to Redevelopment:
The site is currently dominated by a surface parking lot while the remaining area is devoted to commercial uses, including Kelly Moore Paints and TAP Plastics. The main building on the site was originally constructed in 1956 to house a Goodyear Service Store. Kelly Moore Paints took over the retail space in 1992 and completed minor renovations. Overall, the buildings on the site are dated and due for redevelopment. Because the existing FAR is only 0.41, this site is greatly underutilized.
Proposed Development:
In 2023, the City of San Mateo approved a five-story mixed-use housing development for this site. The building will consist of commercial/retail space on the ground floor with residential units on floors two through five and parking located at-grade and in one level subterranean garage. In March 2025, the applicant submitted an updated proposal for an eight-story mixed-use housing development with 50% more units of housing than the approved project.

Proposed Net Increase in Units: 260
Site Conditions Prior to Redevelopment:
Currently, the parcels located along Seal Slough are occupied by a restaurant called the Fish Market that was constructed in the early 1980s and a consignment office furniture store that was built in 1963. Much of those parcels is dominated by a surface parking lot such that the site is underutilized. The current FAR is approximately 0.1.
Proposed Development:
On the Adequate Sites List, staff initially provided a conservative estimate for the number and affordability of housing units for a proposed development on this site (105 units total) and has since updated it according to the formal planning application filed by the developer this year. The proposal consists of 260 units of housing in total, including 26 units affordable to the very low income populations (50% AMI). The planning application includes a Planned Development request that would increase the bas e density from 35 units/acre to 50 units/acre, combined with a 50% density bonus, allowing 260 units of housing as proposed. This proposal highlights the property owner’s desire to redevelop the site with the maximum number of housing units possible. In addition to this project, the project developer has successfully developed other similar projects in the City since 2018, including two mixed-use housing projects at 405 E. 4th Ave. and 406 E. 3rd Ave.
Site Constraints:
Staff has identified this site’s proximity to the waterfront (Marina Lagoon) and to Highway 92 as potential constraints to development. Proximity to Highway 92 means potential air quality impacts on residential uses. However, any constraints to development can be mitigated through development design and environmental review.

The site is currently occupied by Concar Shopping Center, with tenants that range from big -box retailers to small businesses. A large percentage of the site is taken up by a surface parking lot. One of the larger buildings on the site was originally constructed in the late 1960s to house a drug store.
Proposed Development:
The current iteration of the project proposes to demolish the existing commercial buildings to construct 139 three-story townhome units, along with three six- and seven-story multifamily apartment buildings with 708 units. The project also includes 3,100 square feet of standalone commercial/retail space. The project includes 37 units priced for very-low income households and 149 for low-income households. The project is eligible as a “By- right” housing project the Zoning Code’s implementation of state law and is exempt from CEQA.
Site Constraints:
The parcels must be consolidated to comply with Building code and Subdivision Code requirements. The site is also proximate to Highway 92, which has potential air quality impacts due to airborne particulates on residential uses that can be mitigated through development design.

Site Conditions Prior to Redevelopment:
Medical offices with surface parking currently occupy the site.
Proposed Development:
The applicant proposes to demolish the existing structure to construct a four -story, 49-unit multifamily apartment community with underground parking. Four of those units will be dedicated to very low - income households or 50% AMI. In 2021, the Planning Commission approved the required entitlements which include the Site Plan and Architectural Review (SPAR) for construction of a multi -family building and a Site Development Planning Application for tree removal.
The project’s previous allowable density allowed for 36 base units, and with the State density bonus, an additional 13 units (35% of the base density) is added to the project. The project is also granted a reduced parking ratio of 0.5 spaces/unit due to being within ½ miles of public transit. However, the applicant is voluntarily providing 30 additional spaces for a total of 64 parking spaces.
Site Constraints:
The site is adjacent to Highway 92, which has potential air quality impacts on residential uses that can be mitigated through development design. Concerns regarding sale of the property has been raised, however the City has not received information of a change in property ownership to date.

Proposed Net Increase in Units: 230
Site Conditions Prior to Redevelopment:
The site is currently occupied by a hotel (Hillsdale Inn), Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and a self-service car wash with surface parking. The structures were built in the early 1960s. The two smaller sites have low FARs and could more intensely developed.
Proposed Development:
Applicants submitted a conceptual design for a 230-unit, four-story apartment complex with 23 affordable units that target the very low-income category or 50% AMI in March 2022. The development is anticipated to provide a variety of residential amenities including a resident lobby, community rooms, fitness rooms, open space and a roof deck with a barbeque and seating areas. The applicant also proposes to provide approximately 283 parking spaces in an underground garage.
A neighborhood meeting was held in May 2022, and the Planning Commission had a study session in June 2022. The applicant continues to work on redesigning the project as they prepare to submit a planning application for entitlements. The project is expected to be available within the planning period.
Site Constraints:
Staff identified several development considerations and constraints, including the need for parcel consolidation (due to multiple ownerships) and an existing car wash uses on one of the sites. Car wash facilities generally do not release hazardous materials and site cleanup would primarily involve removing an oil/water separator. This is not anticipated to cause delay to the project.

Proposed Net Increase in Units: 68
Site Conditions Prior to Redevelopment:
The site consists of an auto sale business occupying two stand-alone commercial buildings built in the 1950s and 1960s. The remaining lot area is vacant.
Proposed Development:
In 2017, the City Council approved the proposed five-story, mixed-use development. The project provides 68 units of housing in the form of condominiums, 6 of which are designated as very low -income units. The applicant requested a State density bonus (maximum 35% at the time of application) to achieve this unit count. The developer is further providing 15,881 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor intended to serve the surrounding residential community. The condominiums will be located on the f our upper floors and consist of 17 one-bedroom, 37 two-bedroom, and 14 three-bedroom units.
In September 2022, the developer filed an application for a two-year extension. They have also expressed interest in increasing the overall residential unit count through an increase in State density bonus from 35% up to the current maximum 50% within the same building envelope.
Site Constraints:
One constraint to residential development was identified through the entitlement process. A former gas station on this site requires additional clean up.
Proximity to Transit:
Located on El Camino Real, within a half mile of the Hillsdale Caltrain Station.

Site Conditions Prior to Redevelopment:
Previously the project parcels consisted of several office structures that were surrounded by large surface parking lots. These buildings were part of Peninsula Office Park, constructed in the 1970s.
Proposed Development:
In 2020, the Planning Commission approved the proposed 290-unit residential development project. The site encompasses a total area of 15.45 acres and will devote 10% of its units to the low -income category pursuant to the inclusionary ordinance. Unit types include townhomes and single-detached and stacked flats.
The project received planning entitlement approval in 2020. Building permits for site preparation on the southern portion of the site were issued in 2022, and construction has begun.
Site Constraints:
The parcels of this site require consolidation. Additionally, developmental design had to consider the site’s natural slope.

Site Conditions Prior to Redevelopment:
The site parcels used to be occupied by 2 single family homes constructed around 1919. The house on the corner of W Santa Inez Ave and N El Camino Real was converted in the 1980s for use as a Residential Care Home with capacity for the 12 residents aged 18 or older. That use was discontinued many years before the current project was proposed.
Proposed Development:
The applicant proposed a four-story, 10-unit condominium on the two parcels, which will be merged into one. Planning entitlements for the project were approved in 2022 by the San Mateo City Council after initial denial in 2018. In February 2024, the planning entitlements were approved for an additional two- year extension.
This development is a local example of a missing middle-housing project.
Site Constraints:
None. Concerns regarding sale of the property has been raised, however the City has not received information of a change in property ownership to date.
It should be noted that while the lot size is less than 0.5 acres, this site is underutilized with capacity for additional density. While this developer did not choose to utilize the State density bonus, other developers of similarly sized properties may choose to utilize the State density bonus to add units above the City’s base density.
Proximity to Transit:
Located within 0.7 miles of the San Mateo Caltrain Station and within a half mile of El Camino Real.

Site Conditions Prior to Redevelopment:
The site is currently occupied by the Hillsdale Shopping Center and other commercial uses, such as strip malls with associated surface parking lots. Built in the 1950s, the shopping center itself is a mix of retailers, restaurants, and entertainment venues. A premier shopping destination, Hillsdale offers a diverse selection of 120 stores for fashion, beauty and home and draws visitors from around the San Francisco Bay Area.
Proposed Development:
In 2025, the owner applied for a project that would demolish almost 1.5 million sq. ft. of commercial space and construct up to 2 million sq. ft. of net new commercial office space and up to 1,670 residential units.
*The owner anticipates a 25-year buildout of the project and is not proposing a phasing plan. It can be assumed that up to 25% of the proposed residential units may be built within the current cycle (418 units).
Site Constraints:
Staff has found one constraint to future redevelopment. Laurel Creek passes through some of the parcels south of W. Hillsdale Boulevard. The required creek setbacks impact total buildable area and therefore the number of units that can be constructed. Smaller sites to the southern edge of the area along El Camino require ownership consolidation.

Site Ownership: Consolidated
Max Allowable Base Densities: 130 units/acre (or 298 units)
Project Status: Potential Site for Housing Redevelopment Existing Conditions:
The site has primarily commercial uses, including a flower shop called Ah Sam Floral Co and a warehouse.
Built at the height of the Depression in the 1930s, Ah Sam has a long history and has been passed down from one generation to the next. This site is underutilized, with sizeable swaths of the parcels left vacant or dedicated to parking.
Development Opportunity:
The Adequate Sites List identifies only the two above parcels though there is also potential for redevelopment in abutting areas (not highlighted). These two sites have consolidated ownership, and the City has received written communication from the property owner expressing interest in a redevelopment with below-market rate housing. The owner has spoken with adjacent property owners along the shared alley, and they have verbally expressed interest in redevelopment of their parcels should a project be proposed.
For the purposes of the Housing Element Adequate Sites List, a conservative realistic capacity of 268 units of housing is estimated.
Site Constraints:
The site is adjacent to the Caltrain railway, which may have noise impacts on residential development.
Proximity to Transit:
Located on El Camino Real and within half mile (0.3 miles) of Hillsdale Caltrain Station.

Max Allowable Base Densities: 100-130 units/acre (or 314-408 units)
Project Status: Potential Site for Housing Redevelopment Existing Conditions:
Located downtown, structures built in the 1950s form a continuous commercial block along E 4 th Ave. The roof of this block is used for parking. Its tenants consist of several businesses —a grocery store (Dean’s Produce), Starbucks, Chase Bank, First Bank, Equinox San Mateo, and a restaurant. There is also a Mattress Firm on the site in a two-story, stand-alone retail building along El Camino Real. A surface parking lot is located at the back of the site along E 5 th Ave. Since the buildings on this site are between one and two stories, there is major potential for mixed use or residential redevelopmen t that achieves a greater building intensity and that adds residential density.
Development Opportunity:
Prior to the adoption of General Plan 2040, the owner of the block expressed interest in redevelopment with a density of 50 du/ac with the added 50% State density bonus.
For Housing Element Adequate Sites List purposes, these sites are estimated to have a realistic capacity of 408 units of housing.

Table 3, below, provides a summary of the housing unit potential of the Sites Inventory . It shows the housing unit potential and excluding those sites the City will not use for the purpose of calculating “No Net Loss” (NNL), referred to as “NNL Sites.” In the table below, the “Opportunity Sites” row does not include parcels that the City agreed to exclude under its settlement agreement with HAC. If one were to include those parcels, the Opportunity Sites total would include 9, 334 units. The table shows that, even with the removal of sites and limitations on using sites for “No Net Loss” purposes, the potential housing units in the City’s Sites Inventory significantly exceeds its remaining RHNA (RHNA minus Pipeline Projects) by a 32% to 484% buffer depending on income category. Furthermore, construction of ADUs, estimated at 440 total units over the period will also increase the buffer of housing units over the remaining RHNA.

4. 8 Sites Inventory Housing Feasibility and Realistic Capacity
Each housing opportunity site listed on the Sites Inventory was identified through a methodical review of individual parcels, primarily within the ten General Plan Update study areas, and through initial vetting using site typologies approved by HCD . Staff aggregated d ata of all approved multifamily housing developments within the City from 2019 until present day to determine the average capacity at which new housing could develop based on the general zoning district.

From Table 3 above, it was determined that sites on the inventory ( ) that had either a commercial, downtown, executive office, or transit-oriented development zone could be developed to 90% of capacity.
Meanwhile, sites that were zoned for multi-family or other residential zoning could be developed to 75% of capacity. These factors were multiplied by site acreage and maximum units per acre allowed by zoning to create the realistic capacity assumptions in the Sites Inventory table.
4. 8.1 General Plan Adoption and Revised Development Capacities In the original 2023-2031 Housing Element, it was determined that projects in commercial, downtown, executive office, or transit-oriented development zones could be developed at 90% of capacity, and for all other multifamily residential districts, 75% of capacity. This was determined with a maximum density of 50 du/ac and a five-story height limit. With the adoption of General Plan 2040 and passage of Measure T, many sites have an increased allowed density as compared to the site’s zoning district with new land use designations and a site’s development potential is not bound to the zoning district designation, but rather the General Plan 2040 land use designation.
Since the adoption of Measure T in November 2024, the City has received 11 preliminary/formal applications (Table 1a) - not including the Hillsdale Mall redevelopment - that largely take advantage of the increased densities of up to 130 du/ac and up to eight-story height limits. Most of the sites are being proposed well above the General Plan densities. Of the 11 projects, seven are on sites between a half-acre and less than 10 acres and have capacities that are 118% to 200% of the base density (see Table 4a). Although there are a limited number of development projects, there does not seem to be any capacity trends between mixed-use or residential designations nor allowed densities. The other four projects are on sites that are under a half-acre or more than 10 acres. These projects, which are noticeable outliers, have lower capacities that range from 35% to 85% of base density. Altogether, new development projects are building at an average of 122% of base density.

Table 4a: Preliminary and Formal Applications by Site Size and Realistic Capacity Site Sizes Avg. % Exceeding Realistic Capacity
Small (<0.5 acres) 65%
Medium (>0.5 acres) 183%
Large (>1 acres) 141%
>10 Acres 47%
Based on all the current trend of projects and particularly projects on sites between 0.5 acre and 10 acres the City revised its determination that a realistic capacity of 90% of the allowed density for all sites, regardless of General Plan land use designation, is feasible.
Table 2, along with the full body of the Housing Element, demonstrates that the City of San Mateo has developed a S ites Inventory with a sufficient number of housing opportunity sites with appropriate densities, defensible realistic capacity estimates and near -term development feasibility to meet and exceed the City’s RHNA of 7,015 units.
