MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026
SUBJECT:
East 41st Place and Pacific Boulevard Trash Capture Project — Contingency Increase RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an increase to the contingency reserve associated with the construction agreement with GSW Construction, Inc. for the East 41st Place (E 41st Place) and Pacific Boulevard Trash Capture Project in the amount of $36,900 and authorize the Public Works Director to issue change orders within the contingency amount.
BACKGROUND:
The E 41st Place and Pacific Boulevard Trash Capture Project (Project) was designed to install a trash capture device within an existing concrete channel located south of E 41st Place on Pacific Boulevard. The Project supports the City’s compliance with the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board’s (RWQCB) Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (Permit). The Permit requires the City to reduce trash and litter discharge by 100 percent relative to 2009 baseline levels, and the City received a grant from Caltrans to design and construct the Project.
City Council approved a construction agreement for the Project to GSW Construction, Inc. (GSW) on April 7, 2025, in the amount of $257,240 and authorized a contingency reserve of $51,400. The contingency reserve was established and utilized to address and mitigate unknowns that arose during construction and was approximately 20 percent of the agreement value.
GSW installed the trash capture device within the channel during Fall 2025. As staff prepared to close out the project, a precipitation event exceeding the design storm occurred between November 16, 2025, and November 17, 2025, and the channel overtopped leading to minor flooding. While the minor flooding did not lead to property damage, due to the availability of remaining Caltrans grant funding, staff requested GSW and the Project design consultant (Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Engineers) evaluate additional improvements to increase the resiliency of the trash capture and improve visibility during night operations. GSW subsequently provided a quote to add lighting and upsize existing pipes and catch basins adjacent to the channel.
In order to construct the additional improvements, additional funds are required to be added to the construction agreement with GSW as the cost for these changes exceed the available contingency reserve. Further, the Caltrans grant requires reimbursement invoices to be submitted by May 1st, 2026; therefore, there is a limited window to construct these improvements at no cost to the City.
To date, $9,328.93 of the original $51,400 contingency reserve has been used to issue negotiated change orders. A summary of the executed contract change orders is included in the table below. 213 of 424
CITY OF SAN MATEO
Summary of Change Orders To-Date
Original Contingency $51,400.00
Change Order No. 1
Enhance fence safety and add gates for heavy equipment
access. Upgrade hand crank to a more user-friendly
model for faster operability.
$9,328.93
Remaining Contingency $42,071.07
To mitigate risks associated with potential delays, streamline procurements, and to provide flexibility for staff to negotiate and execute contract change orders in a timely manner, staff recommends increasing the contingency reserve by $36,900 for a new contingency total of $88,300 to address the anticipated change order necessary to complete the project.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are available through the Cooperative Implementation Agreement which was entered into between the City and Caltrans, in the 41st Avenue/Pacific Boulevard Trash Capture (46c007) project budget. The original contingency reserve established was $51,400 and this request increases the contingency by $36,900. This increase brings the potential total contract cost to $345,540.00.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This project is categorically exempt from CEQA as an “existing facility,” because it consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.)

MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026
SUBJECT:
Regional Measure 3 Funding Request — Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to authorize the City Manager to execute and submit an allocation request as required by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) for $3 million in Regional Measure 3 (RM3) funds for 19th Avenue/Fashion Island Boulevard Multimodal Improvements Project and to designate the City of San Mateo as the implementation agency for the construction phase.
BACKGROUND:
The 19th Avenue and Fashion Island Boulevard Multimodal Improvements Project will deliver targeted congestion relief and safety enhancements along the corridor surrounding 19th Avenue and Fashion Island Boulevard in San Mateo. Key features include construction of a Class IV separated bikeway (protected, two-way bike lane) along the full corridor, connecting the Hayward Park Caltrain Station to the future SamTrans Mobility Hub at the existing Caltrans Park and Ride lot, as well as optimized signal operations to improve traffic flow and overall safety for all users.
This project aligns with and supports the broader goals of the US 101/SR 92 Mobility Hub and Smart Corridor Concept Plan.
Upon completion, it will become one of the City’s first major separated bikeway corridors, providing safe, low-stress travel options for people walking, biking, using transit, and driving. The bikeway improvements specifically aim to enhance conditions and safety near the freeway on-/off-ramps, incorporate protected intersections, and fill critical gaps in the existing bike network. These changes will improve travel times, remove barriers for pedestrians and cyclists, and advance multimodal access along this vital corridor linking San Mateo and Foster City.
Funding
The total project cost is estimated at approximately $29 million, with $26 million allocated to construction. The City has secured approximately $2.2 million in grant funds for the PA&ED (Project Approval & Environmental Document) and design phases, plus $23.1 million for construction. This includes the recently awarded $16.4 million in San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA) Highway Program funds. Based on the current secured funding, a remaining $3 million funding gap exists for the construction phase. As part of the SMCTA Highway Program funding recommendation, the Transportation Authority also recommended allocating $3 million in Regional Measure 3 (RM3) funds for the project.
To secure this $3 million in RM3 funds, the City—as the implementation agency—must adopt a Resolution authorizing the request to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). The language and format of the Resolution is provided by SMCTA and MTC.

• City of San Mateo (Implementing Agency)
b. Detailed Project Description (include definition of deliverable segment if different from overall project/subproject)
The project will provide congestion relief improvements surrounding 19th Ave and Fashion Island Blvd.
The project will construct a Class IV separated bikeway along the length of the corridor connecting the Hayward Park Caltrain Station and future proposed SamTrans Mobility Hub at the existing Caltrans Park and Ride lot and optimize signal operations to improve travel flow and increase safety. This project supports the broader goals of the 101/92 Mobility Hub and Smart Corridor Concept Plan. Once completed, it will be one of the City’s first major separated bikeway corridors, offering safe, low-stress travel for all users.
The bikeway improvements are intended to improve conditions and safety near the freeway on-/offramps, develop protected intersections, and fill in gaps in the existing bike network. Additionally, new pedestrian walkways will be installed to fill gaps in the sidewalk network, thereby improving travel times and removing barriers for people walking along the corridor. These efforts support the multimodal 220 of 424
Regional Measure 3 Initial Project Report
improvement of the corridor, relieving congestion in a key corridor connecting San Mateo and Foster City within the County.
c. Impediments to Project Completion
Because the corridor crosses over US-101 and parallels SR-92, the project requires approval from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the portions within State rights-of-way. Caltrans must approve the proposed changes to ensure they do not negatively impact the State Highway System (SHS). Work at the freeway ramps will require Caltrans’ review and approval of engineering evaluation reports and encroachment permits, which can introduce administrative wait times. Existing bridge structures limit the width available for new concrete sidewalks and Class IV separated bikeways over Seal Slough. Coordinating a design that meets both City of San Mateo multimodal goals and Caltrans’ safety standards for highway-adjacent structures is a technical challenge. d. Risk Management (describe risk management process for project budget and schedule, levels of contingency and how they were determined, and risk assessment tools used) The most significant risk to the timeline is a delay in the Caltrans approval process or a late-stage design rejection from Caltrans. Caltrans may find that the proposed Class IV bike lanes or other operational elements create undesirable conditions for the freeway ramps. Mitigation for this risk includes early engagement with Caltrans to ensure "no surprises" during the final PS&E (Plans, Specifications, and Estimates) phase. The team will also use industry-standard microsimulation modeling to demonstrate that multimodal improvements will not result in "significant" Level of Service (LOS) degradation for State facilities. Additional time in the schedule has been assumed to accommodate potential revisions.
Public opposition to the reconfiguration of travel lanes or parking can stall a project indefinitely at the City Council level. Vocal residents or business owners may petition to halt the project, citing increased commute times or loss of access. To mitigate this risk, the team has developed "before and after" visualizations and data to demonstrate the operational and safety benefits from the project. Robust outreach and engagement efforts have also been used to ensure transparency with community members and to integrate early community feedback into the project. e. Operability (describe entities responsible for operating and maintaining project once completed/implemented)
The City of San Mateo will be responsible for operating and maintaining the majority of the project area, including the traffic signals. The freeway ramps will be operated and maintained by Caltrans, per current maintenance agreements between the two agencies.

SUBJECT:
Marina Lagoon Spot Dredging Project, Bid Rejection — Approval RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to reject all bids received for the Marina Lagoon Spot Dredging Project.
BACKGROUND:
The Marina Lagoon Spot Dredging Project (Project) is part of the City's plan to perform maintenance on the City's most prominent flood control and recreational facility. Since its construction in 1964, the Marina Lagoon has accumulated more than 314,190 cubic yards of shoaling (sediment deposition), which has reduced its utility as a flood control and recreational facility. Between 1996 and 2024, the flood storage volume in Marina Lagoon has decreased by 19 acre-ft, with most of this volume being lost beneath the winter flood management operating levels. Only about 12.5% of sediment accumulated over 28 years has impacted active flood storage in the facility. While the City is considering alternatives to perform a medium- to large-scale dredging project to address shoaling, this current Project comprises targeted dredging up to 2,000 cubic yards from areas where stream and stormwater runoff from where Borel Creek (19th Avenue Channel) and Leslie Creek (16th Avenue Channel) flow into Marina Lagoon. This spot dredging effort is expected to improve hydraulic connectivity within Marina Lagoon. Dredging near the outfall of Laurel Creek was originally part of the proposed project but was later deferred for the medium to large-scale project.
On January 4, 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposals for professional design and professional consultant services for the Project. The City awarded the project to Moffatt & Nichol (M&N) on April 1, 2024. M&N subsequently prepared bid documents with an Engineer's Estimate of $1,150,000 for the Project. Due to wet weather-work window constraints, staff proceeded to advertise the Project prior to receiving final approval by the Dredged Material Management Office (DMMO).
In accordance with Municipal Code Section 3.60.030, a competitive public process was used to obtain bids for the Project.
A Notice Inviting Sealed Bids was issued to advertise the Project on June 3, 2025. On the June 25, 2025 bid opening date, only one (1) bid was received from Power Engineering Construction Company (Power) with a bid amount of $1,509,500, which exceeded the Engineer’s Estimate by $359,500. Pursuant to San Mateo Municipal Code Section 3.60.040(a)(4), the City Council, at its discretion, may reject all bids received and authorize the direct negotiation of a contract for the Project, if the Project is not within budget, do the work through City employees, or terminate the Project or purchase.
Given that the bid was greater than the established budget for the Project, staff recommends City Council to reject all bids and authorize the Director of Public Works to directly negotiate a potential contract with Power under which cost reductions could be achieved. The City did not successfully negotiate a contract with Power.
Therefore, in accordance with Municipal Code Section 3.60.030, a competitive public process was used to obtain bids for the Project for a second time. A Notice Inviting Sealed Bids was issued to advertise the Project on January 15, 2026. On the February 17, 2026; the bid opening date, two (2) bids were received from Power and Dixon Marine Services, Inc. (Dixon) 235 of 424
CITY OF SAN MATEO
with bid amounts of $1,496,000 and $1,438,144, respectively.
Upon review of the received bids, city staff found both bids were missing required information or documentation, and therefore both bids were found not responsive.
Staff therefore recommends City Council to reject all bids. Staff plans to re-advertise the project on March 17, 2026, pending Council approval to reject bids. Staff still expects the project to be completed in 2026 within the requirements of existing regulatory permits.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There is no budget impact for the rejection of bids. There are sufficient funds in the Storm System Dredging Project (#468005) and the Wet Weather Preparation Activities Project (#46C006) to fund this work provided that the lowest bid of $1,438,150 was accepted.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This Project will be performed pursuant to the terms and conditions of an existing permit with the environmental regulatory agencies for the Marina Lagoon including the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. On July 7, 2021, the City filed a Notice of Exemption with the Office of Planning and Research and the County Clerk-Recorder for the County of San Mateo (SCH No. 2021070131) for proposed maintenance activities for the Marina Lagoon, effective from 2022 through 2026. These maintenance activities are categorically exempt as existing facilities as they involve negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.)

RESOLUTION NO. ____ (2026)
REJECTING ALL BIDS FOR THE MARINA LAGOON SPOT DREDGING PROJECT WHEREAS, the Marina Lagoon Spot Dredging Project (Project) includes the targeted dredging of up to 2,000 cubic yards from areas where stream and stormwater runoff from where Borel Creek (19th Avenue Channel) and Leslie Creek (16th Avenue Channel) flow into Marina Lagoon; and WHERAS, work began on the design phase of the Project in April 2024; and WHEREAS, the City advertised the Project on January 15, 2026 in accordance with Section 3.60.040 of the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, two bids were received and opened on February 17, 2026 and both bids received were found nonresponsive; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to San Mateo Municipal Code section 3.60.040(a)(4), the City Council, at its discretion, may reject all bids received.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY RESOLVES that:
1. This City Council action is exempt from CEQA review, as the targeted dredging of the Marina Lagoon of up to 2,000 cubic yards consists of a minor alteration to land where the maintenance dredging of land, water, and/or vegetation does not involved removal of healthy, mature, and scenic trees. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15304(g).) In addition, the targeted dredging of the Marina Lagoon is exempt from CEQA review as an “existing facility,” because it consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.)
2. In accordance with the provisions of San Mateo Municipal Code Section 3.60.040(a)(4), all bids for the Marina Lagoon Spot Dredging Project are rejected.

MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026
SUBJECT:
2026 Solid Waste Collection Rates — Rate Increase
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution to establish maximum rates for solid waste, recycling, and organics collection for rate year 2026.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s Solid Waste Program (Program) includes waste diversion, compost/recycling education and outreach, special collection events, construction and demolition recycling plan processing, litter reduction programs, illegal dumping abatement, and hazardous waste management, and ensures compliance with all County, regional, State, and Federal regulations. Solid waste, recycling, and organics collection, processing, and disposal services are available to all residents and commercial businesses in the City of San Mateo.
Each year, Council authorizes the solid waste rates to cover the costs of the collection services provided by Recology San Mateo County (Recology); the processing and disposal services provided by South Bayside Industries, Inc. (SBI); the City’s portion of the costs of membership in the joint powers authority, South Bayside Waste Management Authority (RethinkWaste); and the agency fees, which include the City’s solid waste and street sweeping programs, trash capture device maintenance, landfill fee, and franchise fees. The City retains HF&H Consultants (HF&H) to assist in developing a rate structure to fund the cost of solid waste services.
In 2021, the City adopted a long-term plan for incremental adjustment to the residential solid waste rates to bring them into alignment over time with their true cost of service. This is an ongoing effort.
For rate year 2026, the City faces increased costs for collection, processing, and disposal services.
The exclusive franchise agreement between the City and Recology San Mateo County allows for inflationary increases to Recology’s collection expenses: fuel costs, labor costs, vehicle maintenance costs, and other costs. Recology’s annual compensation increases are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors of RethinkWaste, of which a City Council member sits as a director. The agreement was renewed in 2019 and will expire in 2035. Recology’s collection costs in 2026 increased four percent compared to 2025. After review, the RethinkWaste Board of Directors found the proper inflation factors were used to determine Recology’s allowable compensation for 2026 and the increases were approved.
The processing and disposal services fees set by RethinkWaste are increasing seven percent in 2026. The cost increase is a result of a five-percent increase to the tipping fee rates set by RethinkWaste and increased amounts of material from San Mateo being processed at the Shoreway Facility.
238 of 424
CITY OF SAN MATEO
For 2026, in addition to collection, processing, and disposal costs and City program fees, solid waste rates include funding $150,000 annually to be set aside in the Solid Waste Fund dedicated to the future purchase of replacement street sweepers.
The 2026 cost increase is also a result of the decision of the City Council last year to defer $331,333 in increased costs from 2025 to 2026, as allowed under the franchise agreement. That decision lowered rates in 2025 but must be accounted for this year.
Maintaining current rates to meet the 2026 projected expenses described above would lead to an anticipated deficit of $1,170,910. Therefore, staff recommends the City Council to authorize raising residential rates by a range of $4.16-$6.50 per month. These increases will result in a projected deficit of $14,137 in 2026. In addition, residential customers subscribing to 96-gallon solid waste carts will meet their cost of service.
Table A summarizes the current 2025 and proposed 2026 residential rates. These rates include collection, processing, and disposal of garbage, recycling, and organics.

64-gallon $72.43 $78.93 $6.50
96-gallon $103.08 $107.24 $4.16
Staff Recommendation:
Based on the above, staff recommends Council authorize the rate increases in Table A to meet the need for commercial and residential rates to meet their cost of service, to judiciously preserve the Solid Waste Fund reserves to blunt the impact of future rate increases as well as the City’s anticipated share of future capital improvements at the Shoreway Environmental Center forecast by RethinkWaste, and to be better prepared for upcoming, anticipated increases from Recology, South Bayside Industries, and RethinkWaste.
Balancing Account:
In accordance with the City’s franchise agreement, Recology maintains a balancing account which tracks the cumulative surplus or deficit between what Recology is owed and what is collected from solid waste rates. The City is charged interest if the cumulative balancing account is a negative balance at the end of any given year. Past City Council direction is to avoid interest charges by keeping the balancing account as low as possible.
In March 2024, the City Council authorized the use of $1.0 million in fund reserves to be remitted to Recology to reduce the balancing account deficit before the year’s end. The payment was made in August 2024 which avoided accruing additional interest on the deficit. In March 2025, the City Council authorized the use of $0.4 million to be remitted to Recology to reduce the balancing account deficit. The payment was made in August 2025 which avoided accruing additional interest on the deficit.
The City’s current long-term plan is to bring residential rates into alignment with their cost of service by the end of the current franchise agreement in 2035. By judiciously using Solid Waste Fund reserves over time to blunt the effect on residential rate payers, this goal is attainable. These funds are derived from rate stabilization fees collected from 2019- 2021 and from City program savings over time.
Council direction has been for all solid waste and street sweeping program savings to be used for rate stabilization. In March 2025, staff reported to Council that $4.4 million was available for stabilization. 239 of 424
CITY OF SAN MATEO
Since then, the City has allocated approximately $630,000 to purchase a new electric street sweeper, the purchase for which was approved by City Council on November 18, 2024, and is considering purchase of a bike lane electric street sweeper which would be of a similar cost. These purchases would reduce the reserve balance to $3.2 million for future rate stabilization. However, with the recommended increases to residential rates, no remittance to Recology is recommended for 2026. City staff will continue to recommend strategic use of Solid Waste Fund reserves to help offset added costs for service and/or partially offset future rate increases as the cost-of-service implementation plan is implemented.
It is important to note that in addition to potential annual contractual inflationary increases, Recology, SBI, and RethinkWaste must meet state regulations such as the move to zero emission vehicles. RethinkWaste is considering necessary capital improvement projects and bond measures, all of which will likely require the City to raise rates in the next few years.
Rate Setting Procedures:
Proposition 218 is a citizen-led initiative constitutional amendment enacted in 1996 and is alternatively known as the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act.” While the courts have not ruled that Proposition 218 applies to solid waste collection rates from a franchise hauler, in an abundance of caution, the City has historically followed the “majority protest” proceedings set forth in Proposition 218.
Accordingly, with the City Council’s approval, a public notification of the proposed maximum increase in solid waste rates was mailed to property owners on January 16, 2026 (Attachment 2). The notification instructed property owners on how to submit a valid written protest. Valid written protests are accepted through the time of this public hearing.
At the end of the public hearing, the City Clerk will tally and report the qualifying written protests and the City Council will certify whether the written protests in opposition to the increase meet or do not meet the majority protest threshold. In accordance with Article XIIID, Section 6, of the California Constitution, a "majority protest" exists if written protests against the proposed fee or charge are presented by a majority of owners of the identified parcels. If a majority protest is not received, the City Council may then authorize the increased rates. If a majority protest is received, the City cannot increase the rates and the rates will remain unchanged.
Assuming a majority protest does not exist, staff recommends Council adopt the Proposed Resolution (Attachment 1) establishing the above-referenced solid waste rates.
BUDGET IMPACT:
If the proposed rate adjustments are authorized, the Solid Waste Fund’s revenues will increase toward alignment with the costs of service.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This action by the City in setting the maximum rates to be charged by Recology San Mateo County relates to funding an ongoing solid waste collection service and is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is a government fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)
NOTICE PROVIDED
Notice of the proposed maximum increase in solid waste rates and the March 16, 2026, notice of public hearing were mailed to all property owners and Recology customers on January 16, 2026. This meets the 45-day notification requirement.

Solid waste rates include the costs for collection services provided by Recology San Mateo County (Recology), processing and disposal services provided by the South Bayside Waste Management Authority (SBWMA), and City fees that support the City’s sustainability goals and efforts to meet all regulatory compliance mandates. These include the solid waste program, street sweeping, litter and illegal dumping abatement, trash capture device management, and franchise fees. Customer rates are adjusted as required to generate enough revenue to cover the cost of the provided services. These services are available to or provided as a benefit to all City of San Mateo residents and commercial businesses. Recommended rates are reviewed by the RethinkWaste Board of Directors based on a financial evaluation of operating costs and projected revenues. Single family residential bills are based on the size of the solid waste cart and cover the cost of collection, processing, and disposal of solid waste, recycling, and organic material. Commercial and multi-family rates are based on the size of the solid waste container and frequency of collection (e.g., 1 time per week, 2 times per week) and covers the cost of collecting solid waste and recycling.
In addition, commercial and multi-family rates include a charge for organic material collections based on the size and frequency of collection of the organic material container.
The full rate schedule, including all commercial services, is available for review at www.cityofsanmateo.org/ProposedSolidWasteRates or at the City Clerk’s Office at 330 West 20th Avenue, San Mateo.
PROPOSED RATE INCREASES
The proposed change is directly related to the increases to collection, disposal, and processing costs which have caused costs to exceed revenues.
IMPACT OF PROPOSED INCREASE ON SOLID WASTE BILLS
The following table summarizes the rates with proposed increases.
All commercial/multi-family garbage rates will remain flat.
Recology provides additional services upon request that are not included in the City’s solid waste collection rate. Additional services include backyard or distance service, additional carts, and extra on-call pickups of bulk items. The fees for optional services will appear on the customer’s Recology San Mateo County bill as separate line items in addition to the standard cost of collection. A complete list of all the additional services and their 2026 cost is available at www.cityofsanmateo.org/ProposedSolidWasteRates or at the City Clerk’s Office located at 330 W. 20th Avenue, San Mateo.

HOW TO PROTEST THE RATE INCREASE
A property owner or a City solid waste customer may submit a written protest to the proposed increase in maximum rates to be charged by the City’s franchisee by U.S. mail, to be received prior to the meeting date, or hand delivered to the City Clerk, at any time before the end of the public hearing. The City Clerk’s address is: 330 West 20th Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94403. Only one protest per parcel will be counted. Written protest must include the owner or customer’s name, service address,
assessor’s parcel number (the nine-digit number that appears on your property tax statement) and the owner’s or customer’s signature for the property served.

Dear Clerk of the City/San Mateo City Council,
I neglected to put my parcel number on my previous email. It is: . I repeat my message below.
I write to object to the proposed increase in the trash rates. I oppose the increase because it is too much money.
I suggest that the City find a new contractor who will charge less. Or, those who have more trash could pay more: I find that I don't even use half of my bins each week. It is outrageous to pay as much as we do now merely for trash pick up (after we sort it for the trash company).
Or just throw it all in the landfill. I am tired of the continual increases in costs. Why does the City Council never act to benefit homeowners in the city?
Sincerely,
Mary Frances Williams, Ph.D.

The Solid Waste Process & What Rates Cover
4 260 of 424
Background
• 2006 progressive “Pay as You Throw” system adopted
• 2016 & 2022 State imposed recycling and organics mandates • Proposition 218 - “...fees and charges must be proportional to the cost of providing the service attributable to the parcel…” • Cost increases in 2026 are lower than those in 2024 and 2025. Yet increases collectively exceed the rate of inflation.
5 261 of 424
Review of 2025 Council Direction
• City deferred the portion of Recology increases that exceeded 5% ($331,333) to 2026.
• City used $400,000 from Solid Waste fund to reduce balancing account with Recology.
• City increased Residential rates by $7.50-9.00 per month. • City increased the 20-gallon and 32-gallon rates for both Commercial Solid Waste and Commercial Organic carts.

Agenda Number: 23 Section Name: NEW BUSINESS Account Number: 25-3112 File ID: 26-10907 TO: City Council
FROM: Alex Khojikian, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Community Development Department
MEETING DATE: March 16, 2026
SUBJECT:
2025 Annual Progress Reports – Housing Element, General Plan and Housing Successor Agency – Approval RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Annual Progress Reports and direct the City Manager to submit the 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report to the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation; the 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development; and the 2025 Housing Successor Agency Annual Report to the California Department of Finance.
BACKGROUND:
Government Code Sections 65400 and 65700 require local planning agencies to submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) on the status of their General Plan and Housing Element implementation to the local legislative body. The APR is then submitted to California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LUCI; formerly the Office of Policy and Research (OPR)) by April 1st of each year.
California Health and Safety Code Section 34176.1(f) similarly provides for jurisdictions to submit an annual Housing Successor Agency Report by the same deadline to the California Department of Finance (DoF). This report provides details of the housing funds, assets, and activities of the City of San Mateo, which is acting as the Housing Successor Agency of the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Mateo.
This agenda report contains the General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports (Attachments 1 and 2) and Housing Successor Annual Report (Attachment 3) for review and approval by City Council. An overview of each of the three state-mandated reports is provided below.
Housing Element Annual Progress Report Summary
While the Housing Element is a part of the General Plan, the Housing Element APR is subject to additional and specific requirements not applicable to other elements of the General Plan. The Housing Element APR has been prepared pursuant to California Government Code Section 65400 and includes a detailed accounting of all housing projects submitted, reviewed, entitled, and constructed in the City in calendar year 2025. The APR also provides an update on the implementation of each of the Housing Element’s policies and programs to achieve the City’s housing vision and remain in compliance with State law.
The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element for the sixth housing cycle was originally adopted by the City Council on May 20, 2024 and determined to be in substantial compliance with Housing Element law by HCD on July 23, 2024. On February 23, 2026, the City Council adopted Housing Element Amendments that updated the sites inventory to incorporate new pipeline projects and remove projects that were no longer active, made changes related to the Measure T voter approval and the settlement of a lawsuit, revised the realistic capacity of opportunity sites based on new information, and made 276 of 424
CITY OF SAN MATEO
minor changes to some of the implementation plan action items. HCD found these amendments to be in substantial conformance with State law on December 18, 2025. The City is now awaiting certification from HCD, following the Council adoption in February.
This APR (Attachment 1) is for the third year of the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element, and it includes the following information that the City has data to report on:
Information on number of planning applications submitted, as well as those that were approved (Table A) Information on the annual building activity of new construction including units entitled, permitted, and completed with the types of housing units and affordability level (Table A2) Progress in meeting the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) by income level (Table B) Progress report on implementation of the Housing Element programs (Attachment 1 - Table D) Information on locally-owned surplus sites (Table H)
Information on the City’s local preference policy (Table K) Historical resources (Table L)
Progress Towards RHNA Targets
The City continued to make meaningful progress towards its RHNA in 2025, including the following achievements:
• 477 9th Ave., a mixed-use project on a former office site that includes 120 rental housing units, with 12 very lowincome BMR units, received its building permit early in 2025 and is currently under construction. • Peninsula Heights, a 290-unit multi-family for-sale housing development on a former office campus site that includes 29 low-income BMR units, to be built in phases, continued to make progress in 2025 by receiving building permits for seven single-family homes (market rate).
• Bay Meadows Mixed-Use Block MU3, which includes a multi-family building with 67 rental units, with seven lowincome BMR units, received its building permit in 2025, but construction has not yet started. • 124 Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) applications were submitted and 94 ADU permits issued.
Table 1 below summarizes some of the key data contained in Tables A and A2 regarding housing units and their affordability levels, included in planning applications submitted and approved in 2025, as well as building permits issued and completed/constructed (final inspection or certificate of occupancy). Per HCD definition, planning applications submitted are applications that have been determined to be ‘complete’ by the jurisdiction1. Please note that building permit issuance is the milestone HCD uses to count units towards a jurisdiction’s RHNA progress.

Table B in the attached APR shows the progress of housing unit production by affordability level as defined by issuance of building permits in 2025 and throughout the 2023-31 Housing Element cycle. Thus far, three years into the housing cycle (2023 thru 2025), 602 units, or 8.6 percent of the City’s allocation for new housing units have received a building permit, as shown in Table 2 below. 2025 remained a challenging environment for new housing construction starts due to the larger nationwide challenges related to securing construction financing and high costs of labor and construction materials 1 A “complete” planning application means that the applicant has submitted all of the materials listed on the planning application list of required submittal materials. A “complete” application may still be under review by City staff, pending processing requirements under State housing law, or awaiting approval.

statewide, resulting in multiple development projects with housing units that were previously approved not beginning construction this year and/or receiving extensions to their entitlements. However, the City’s current development pipeline continues to grow significantly, particularly following the passage of Measure T and adoption of various state housing laws that streamline the residential development review process and provide developers more assurances for approval. In addition, there are now additional allowances under State Density Bonus Law to increase housing unit production and new exemptions and streamlining provisions to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) through AB 130 and SB 131. As of the end of February 2026, the City’s pipeline projects included 19 active Planning Applications with preliminary or formal applications with over 6,200 total housing units.

Accessory Dwelling Units
Following adoption of the City’s ADU Ordinance on March 21, 2022, the City Council directed staff to provide annual updates on the implementation of the Ordinance. Any ADU that meets the standards outlined in the City’s adopted ADU Ordinance is approved ministerially (building permit only). However, to allow for flexibility and creative ADU designs, the City offers a discretionary permit application option through an Accessory Dwelling Unit Discretionary Review (ADUDR) Planning Application process to consider proposals for ADUs that are not in full compliance with the development standards in the ADU Ordinance. It should be noted that the vast majority of ADU proposals conform to these development standards and are processed ministerially (over 300 permits issued), with only 11 being approved utilizing the ADUDR.
The City began processing ADUDR applications after adoption of the ADU Ordinance in 2022, and a total of 19 ADUDR applications have been submitted since then. Of the 19 total applications, six proposed the expansion of an existing structure within a legal non-conforming setback of less than four feet from a property line, seven proposed a second-story balcony, and four proposed a height exceedance. Eleven of the 19 submittals have been approved, one is currently under review, and seven were withdrawn. For each of the withdrawn ADUDR applications, the applicant revised, or communicated intentions to revise, the proposal to conform to ADU development standards and resubmit for a ministerial permit. Currently, per Council direction, ADUDR applications are processed at no additional cost to the applicant. This no cost approach is considered a pilot program, and staff will bring the topic back to Council for review later, likely as part of the fee study that will be initiated later this year.
278 of 424
CITY OF SAN MATEO
The City committed to amending the ADU Ordinance to align it with current State law and to resolve any inconsistencies identified by HCD as part of the implementation plan (Policy H 1.4). HCD has statutory authority to review local agencies’ ADU Ordinances, and as of January 1, 2024, also has authority to enforce all State ADU laws. In October of 2024, the City received a letter from HCD with a review of the City’s ADU Ordinance, identifying areas that required updates or clarification for full compliance with State ADU Law. Staff met with HCD and provided an official response to HCD’s letter in November 2024, with a target to update the ADU Ordinance by the end of 2025. On August 26, 2025, a Planning Commission study session was held to introduce ADU Ordinance updates and receive community and Commission feedback. Following the study session, staff conducted outreach and hosted a virtual workshop on local ADU needs and requirements on September 25, 2025. On December 9, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to review the draft ADU Ordinance amendments and recommended City Council adoption. On January 26, 2025, the City Council introduced the ADU Ordinance and it was adopted on February 2, 2026. Pursuant to State law, staff submitted the Ordinance to HCD for official review following adoption. As of the date of this report, there have not been any comments from HCD.
In addition to reporting on the number of ADU applications, jurisdictions must also include data in the APR on the affordability of ADUs. In previous years, HCD allowed cities to distribute ADUs into income categories using assumptions based on a statewide survey but had indicated disallowing further use of the data because it was outdated. Beginning in 2025, San Mateo required applicants to complete an ADU rental survey prior to permit issuance for ADUs. The survey was created in a regional partnership with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) as a tool for participating jurisdictions to track ADU affordability. The data collected from this survey was aggregated by ABAG such that homeowner responses are anonymous. ABAG submitted the results of the rental survey to HCD for review, and HCD determined the previous affordability assumptions for ABAG jurisdictions (30 percent above moderate, 30 percent moderate, 30 percent low, and 10 percent very low) could continue to be used since the results of the recent rental survey were similar to previous surveys.
The City has continued to make meaningful progress in ADU production, with 94 ADU permits issued in 2025. This is well above the annual estimate of 55 building permits for ADUs per the 2023-2031 Housing Element. According to HCD’s statewide APR Dashboard, the City leads the county in terms of ADU permitting. Table 3 highlights the number of ADUs permitted between 2023 and 2025. Since 2023, the City has issued permits for 243 ADUs, which is 55% of the total ADUs assigned by RHNA in the eight-year period for the Sixth Housing Cycle.

SB 9 Projects
Following adoption of the City’s SB 9 Ordinance on October 3, 2022, the City Council directed staff to provide annual updates on the implementation of the Ordinance. SB 9 generally allows the building of up to two primary dwellings on a single-family lot and ADUs and JADU allowed under state law and/or the subdivision of a single-family lot into two lots.
Any development that meets the standards outlined in the City’s adopted SB 9 Ordinance is approved ministerially.
However, to allow for flexibility and creative designs, the City offers a discretionary permit application option through a Single-Family Dwelling Design Review (SFDDR) Planning Application process to consider proposals for dwellings that are not in full compliance with the SB 9 development standards. 279 of 424
CITY OF SAN MATEO
The City began processing SB 9 applications after adoption of the Ordinance in 2022. Since that time, a total of seven SB 9 applications have been submitted. Of the seven applications, three were approved ministerially and four required discretionary review. These discretionary reviews were required to evaluate SB 9 units over 800 square feet in size, which is the maximum unit size that can be proposed under a ministerial SB 9 application. Of these four discretionary reviews, one was approved by the Zoning Administrator and subsequently appealed to the Planning Commission, which upheld the Zoning Administrator approval. The other three discretionary SB 9 applications are currently incomplete, requiring additional review before final action can be taken. An overview of SB9 Discretionary Planning Applications received to-date is provided below in Table 4. All ministerially reviewed applications were approved by the Zoning Administrator.

The City has also made progress on implementation of the goals, policies, and programs outlined in the Housing Element.
The following is a list of the significant policies and programs that began or progressed in 2025:
• Tenant Protections/Anti-Displacement (Policies H3.4, H3.6 and H5.4.1) Following community engagement and research on tenant protections and anti-displacement in San Mateo conducted throughout 2024, the City Council held a study session on April 21, 2025. o To implement Policy H3.4, City Council directed staff to develop a policy requiring property owners to provide relocation assistance to tenants with a rental tenure of 11 months or longer in no-fault evictions and, for substantial rehabilitation evictions, provide notification when the remodeled unit becomes available. City Council also directed staff to amend the City’s Tenant Relocation Ordinance (San Mateo Municipal Code 7.50) to strengthen the City’s ability to support tenants displaced from unsafe or substandard units. The ordinances implementing Policy H3.4 were adopted in December 2025. o While not included as a Housing Element policy, City Council directed staff to develop an emergency rental assistance program in response to the finding that the majority of eviction cases in San Mateo are related to nonpayment of rent. The Emergency Rental Assistance Program, which is administered by Samaritan House, was created in July 2025 with an initial fund of $168,000. As part of the recently adopted Housing Element amendments, a policy to recognize this program was added to the Housing Element. o To implement policy H3.6, City directed staff to build on existing City data collection through its Business License Tax to monitor rental rates and evictions citywide, rather than through adoption of a formal rental registry. Staff continues to work on rental data collection through its business tax platform. • Zoning Code Amendment Ordinance – Phase I (several Policies) There were several amendments to the Zoning Code for policy programs that had prescribed actions in the implementation plan targeted for adoption in 2024 and 2025. For efficiency purposes, these proposed code amendments were aggregated into one ordinance for adoption (Phase I), with a second bundled amendments adopted later in 2025 (Phase II). On April 7, 2025, the Council adopted an ordinance that included the following:
o Allowed residential uses as permitted uses in commercial districts and office districts. (Policy H1.7) o Added a definition for single room occupancy (SRO) and amend the Zoning Code to allow SROs in the R4 280 of 424
CITY OF SAN MATEO
District (will also apply to R5, R6 and Downtown Districts with an R overlay). (Policy H1.7) o Eliminated the need for special use permits (SUPs) for multiple-family housing in mixed-use zoning districts. (Policy H1.7)
o Removed Chapter 27.17 (Manufactured Homes) and simplify development standards for manufactured homes on a permanent foundation to be the same as single-family homes. (Policy H1.7) o Removed any prohibitions of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in zoning districts as a permitted use per State law. (Policy H1.7)
o Added new Zoning Code terms and definitions related to housing and update existing definitions to add clarity and be consistent with State law. (Policies H1.7, H1.13, H1.14, H1.15, H1.16, and H3.7) o Amended the Zoning Code to allow group homes and residential care facilities for people with special needs in all residential zones and only subject to those objective standards that apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone in conformance with state law. (Policy 1.13) o Amended the Zoning Code to define and allow farmworker housing within the Agricultural District consistent with state law. (Policy H1.16)
o Modified the “emergency shelter” definition and added development standards to the definition; added new terms and definitions for supportive housing and low-barrier navigation centers; allowed for emergency shelters, supportive housing, and low-barrier navigation centers in certain zoning districts per State law. (Policy 3.7)
o Modified the Powers and Duties of the Zoning Administrator to review and take final action on proposed residential development projects that are consistent with the ODS by increasing the project size threshold from 25 units to 99 units. (Policy H1.6)
Additional Zoning Code amendments will be forthcoming as part of the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update, which is currently underway, or as separate action items as targeted in the implementation plan. • General Plan Implementation (Policy H 1.20)
On April 7, 2025, the Council adopted an ordinance to amend the General Provisions section of the Zoning Code relating to implementation of Measure T and General Plan consistency. The provisions incorporate the uses, densities, intensities, and heights specified in Land Use Element of General Plan 2040 (Measure T) where they may conflict with the existing Zoning Code and establishes the standards in General Plan 2040 as governing until the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update has been completed.
• Zoning Code Amendment Ordinance – Phase II (Policies H1.6 and H1.9) For this bundle of Zoning Code amendments, several chapters of the Zoning Code were amended to implement programs to support the goal of housing production within the Housing Element. On July 28, 2025, the City Council adopted an ordinance that amended and added several sections of the Zoning Code to reduce the development review timeline for housing projects by streamlining the development review process, aligning City requirements with SB 330, and adding certainty in the development application process. The ordinance established an appeals process when a planning application is determined to be ‘incomplete’ subject to the review and determination of the Planning Commission. The ordinance amended a code section to allow the Zoning Administrator to approve up to two extensions to a planning application approval, each for up to two years, in addition to the regular 2.5-year expiration from the approval date. This allows developers to complete the construction of the project as approved, which is also in the City’s interest to satisfy the housing production targets in the Housing Element. An additional measure to streamline the development review process was to change the requirement for City Council approval authority of proposed residential projects only when they exceed the building height limit specified in General Plan 2040 (all other projects are subject to Zoning Administrator or Planning Commission approval per Phase I amendments). Finally, the ordinance established minimum densities for all residential mixed-use development projects that are proposed in the mixed-use land use designations established in General Plan 2040, with slightly higher minimum densities for areas within ½-mile of a Caltrain station. 281 of 424
CITY OF SAN MATEO
• Alternative Affordable Housing Compliance for Housing Development Projects (Policy H1.3) Policy H.1.3 is one of many actions in the Housing Element intended to increase affordable housing production by providing greater flexibility to developers. The City’s Below Market Rate (BMR) Guidelines require 15 percent of total units (base density) in a housing development of 11 or more units to be provided as affordable to lowerincome or moderate-income households, depending on whether the development is rental or for-sale. While the previous BMR Guidelines allowed for an offsite alternative compliance option, it was limited to cases in which building the required affordable units on-site was infeasible, as demonstrated by the applicant with an economic analysis. The BMR Ordinance (San Mateo Municipal Code 27.16.050) and Guidelines were updated on June 16, 2025, to allow for offsite units or a developer-proposed alternative.
General Plan Annual Progress Report Summary
The General Plan is a State-mandated document that sets the framework for the City’s physical, social, and economic development into the future. The City’s General Plan APR (Attachment 2) highlights the accomplishments in 2025 in implementing land use related goals, policies, and actions. Through the accomplishments highlighted in the APR, the City continues to make progress to achieve a healthy economic, social, and physical environment to serve the San Mateo community. The APR includes the following key information:
Planning activities initiated or completed by the City in 2025; Highlights of major planning applications approved in 2025; Building permit and construction status of major development projects; and Implementation summary of General Plan goals, policies and actions pertaining to land use.
Consistent with General Plan Action LU 15.3, the City is providing population information from the California Department of Finance (DoF). These population estimates are produced annually by DoF to assist local areas in calculating their annual appropriations limit. Changes to the housing stock are used in the preparation of the annual city population estimates.
Additionally, population levels are determined by estimated housing unit occupancy and the average number of persons per household. These estimates are based on data through January 1, 2025. The City's population has increased by 0.1 percent, from 104,221 on January 1, 2024, to 104,315 on January 1, 20253.
Pursuant to General Plan Policies H 1.20, LU 1.2 and LU 1.3 – In November 2024, following the adoption of General Plan 2040, Measure T was approved by the voters to fully allow the heights, densities and intensities permitted in the Land Use Element to be implemented. Measure T allows the City to meet the community’s anticipated housing needs through 2040 as well as housing allocations (RHNAs) the City will be required to plan for by HCD for both current and future housing cycles between now and 2040. The City is working on a Comprehensive Zoning Code Update to implement General Plan 2040 and Measure T.
Pursuant to Action LU 1.10, the City internally tracks nonresidential development and housing units by affordability levels for all major planning applications. This data will be used in the coming years to determine if City plans need to be adjusted or if the city-wide job-housing balance needs to be re-evaluated. Staff is currently working on developing a dashboard to provide public access to this data and anticipates reporting on this action as part of a future year General Plan APR.
Housing Successor Report Summary
The purpose of the Housing Successor Report (Attachment 3) is to provide the governing body of the Housing Successor an annual report on the housing assets and activities of the City of San Mateo acting as the Housing Successor of the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Mateo as required by State law for the fiscal year July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
At the end of the FY 24/25 reporting period, the fund balance was $5,448,369. Per State law Section 34176.1(a)(2)(A) of the California Health and Safety Code, up to $500,000 in Low/Moderate Housing Income Asset Funds may be used to 3 State of California, Department of Finance, E-1 Population Estimates for Cities, Counties and the State with Annual Percent Change — January 1, 2024 and 2025. Sacramento, California, May 2025. 282 of 424

prevent homelessness. In FY 25/26, the City began using Low/Moderate Housing Income Asset funds to support the new Emergency Rental Assistance Program ($168,000) administered by Samaritan House and the City’s Homeless Outreach Team ($190,000), operated out of the Police Department. The HOT was previously funded entirely out of the General Fund.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Staff time to complete this work is fully funded by Community Development’s annual operating budget, utilizing the Advanced Planning Fund, and does not impact the City’s General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This annual report is not a project subject to CEQA, because it can be seen with certainty that it will not cause a physical change in the environment. (Public Resources Code Section 21065.) NOTICE PROVIDED:
All meeting noticing requirements were met.

H1.1 Monitor Regional
Housing Needs Allocation
and Pipeline projects
a) Provide an annual report on housing production to the City Council each March, prior to submittal of the Annual Progress Report to HCD by April 1st. The report will include an assessment on the City’s RHNA progress and, as needed, identify additional sites to ensure ongoing compliance with “no net loss” provisions of State law. 12/31/2023 6th Cycle Continuous
a) The City provides an annual report to the City Council on housing production as part of its approval of the Annual Progress Report.
The City continues to enforce the provisions of No Net Loss law through the planning application process. Projects are required to propose a net increase of units through redevelopment and provide replacement of any deed restricted low-income units.
Meetings 3
This objective is completed on an ongoing
basis throughout the 2023-2031 period. The
City Council has reviewed the annual APR for
2023, 2024, and 2025 and the City has
submitted the APR to HCD annually. The
implementation plan dashboard can be
viewed here:
https://strivesanmateo.org/housing-elementimplementation/ H1.1 Monitor Regional
Housing Needs Allocation
and Pipeline projects
b) Conduct a mid-cycle review of realistic capacity projections and pipeline project housing production to ensure outcomes are aligned with projections. Update sites inventory to include additional sites to ensure ongoing compliance with “no net loss” provisions of State law.
12/31/2027 6th Cycle Not Yet Started
b) By 2027, additional sites for housing redevelopment will be identified, as necessary, to ensure that the City meets its share of RHNA requirements.

a) In 2024, the City initiated the comprehensive code amendments to permit 100 percent residential uses on properties zoned for mixed uses.
These Zoning Code amendments will be introduced to the Council for adoption in 2025 aggregated with other code amendments. The reference to Government Code Section 65583(h) is incorrectly stated.
The correct reference should be Government Code Section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i). Compliance is only required when the sites inventory does not identify site to accommodate the need for groups of all household income levels. However, the San Mateo Housing Element sites inventory did accomodate sites for all of its household income levels without the need for rezonings; therefore, nothing further is necessary to comply with the Government Code. In 2023, the City initiated policy work with a consultant to evaluate minimum residential density requirements for large commercial mixed-use projects. On August 19, 2024, the City Council held a study session on requiring a minimum residential density in mixed-use projects with a residential component.

Local governments are required to inform HCD about any local tenant preference ordinance the local government maintains when the jurisdiction submits their annual progress report on housing approvals and production, per Government Code 7061 (SB 649, 2022, Cortese). Effective January 1, 2023, local governments adopting a tenant preference are required to create a webpage on their internet website containing authorizing local ordinance and supporting materials, no more than 90 days after the ordinance becomes operational. https://www.cityofsanmateo.org/DocumentCenter/View/99291/BMR-Guidelines-2025?bidId= The Affordable Housing Ordinance (Below Market-Rate Housing Program) is found in San Mateo Municipal Code Section 27.16.050. This section states that specific requirements for the BMR Program are to be regulated via Resolution of the City Council. Resolution No. 77 (2025) provides these requirements in the form of BMR Program Guidelines. The BMR Program Guidelines provide (in Section IX) that preference for BMR units shall be given to persons residing or working in the City of San Mateo. This section also references any relevant policies adopted via City Council Resolution. Furthermore, the operative sections of Resolution No. 22 (1999) - Modified Affordable Housing Marketing Policies, state that those who live or work within the City of San Mateo shall be given priority over those who do not live or work in San Mateo for City-subisidized units. 321 of 424

City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 2
1. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT
State of California Government Code Sections 65400 and 65700 requires local planning agencies to provide an annual update to their legislative body, the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI), previously known as the Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the status of the General Plan, Housing Element and progress in its implementation. State law requires that the General Plan Annual Progress Report (APR) be completed and submitted to the state by April of each year to report on implementation from the previous year. The General Plan APR is required even when a city may be undertaking a General Plan comprehensive update.
This General Plan Progress Report looks at the City of San Mateo’s (City) progress in implementing land use related goals, policies and actions during the period beginning January 1, 2025, and ending on December 31, 2025.
2. GENERAL PLAN BACKGROUND AND CONTENT
California law requires that every city and county adopt a long-term General Plan that addresses eight specific topics or “elements,” organized in any format or structure preferred by the community. The General Plan may also address other topics the community feels are relevant. Regardless of the format or issues addressed, the Plan must be internally consistent.
The City, after a six year comprehensive effort, adopted Strive San Mateo General Plan 2040 on March 18, 2024. Community participation played an important role in preparing the City’s General Plan 2040.
The General Plan team held a series of meetings and events to establish the General Plan study areas; create the range of alternatives; confirm the draft alternatives; and receive feedback and direction on the preferred land use and circulation scenarios as well as on goals and policies from the community and, ultimately, the City Council. Additionally, other agencies and utilities were consulted including the Native American tribes, county agency, school districts, water districts, and regional transportation agencies. At the time of its adoption, San Mateo’s General Plan 2040 complied with applicable OPR General Plan Guidelines.
The General Plan 2040 is organized into eight elements that meet the State requirements, as shown in Table 1 - General Plan Contents.

City’s Responsibility
The effectiveness of the General Plan ultimately depends on how it is implemented and maintained over time. State law requires that most actions of local governments affecting the physical environment be consistent with the General Plan. General Plan implementation is the responsibility of numerous departments including but not limited to City Attorney, City Manager’s Office (Economic Development), Community Development, Finance, Information Technology Parks and Recreation, Police, and Public Works.
Additionally, several other governmental agencies and utilities provide services within the City’s boundary. While these agencies are neither part of the City’s operational structure nor directly responsible for implementation of the General Plan, the City coordinates its activities with these other agencies and relies upon their assistance for full implementation of the General Plan. These agencies include but are not limited to: San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department, water districts (California Water Company, Estero Water District), school districts (San Mateo Foster City Unified School District, San Mateo High School District, California State College System), and County of San Mateo.
3. DATE OF PRESENTATION/ACCEPTANCE BY THE LOCAL LEGISLATIVE BODY.
The General Plan Progress Report 2025 is scheduled for City Council review on March 16, 2026.
4. DATE OF THE LAST UPDATE TO THE GENERAL PLAN.
The City Council adopted the Strive San Mate General Plan 2040 on March 18, 2024.
5. AMENDMENTS TO THE GENERAL PLAN.
State law limits the City to amend any mandatory elements of the General Plan no more than four times per year. Amendments may be proposed and acted upon at any time during the year and one action may include multiple amendments. Any changes to the General Plan require public hearing by the City Council and evaluation of the environmental impacts as require by the California Environmental Quality Act.
327 of 424
City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 4 In 2025, one General Plan Amendment was adopted for the Land Use Element. During the General Plan 2040 adoption hearings and at a subsequent public meeting on implementation, the City Council, staff, and individual landowners identified 13 sites across the city where land use designations were either inconsistent with the existing and/or surrounding land uses, or required revisions to align with City Council direction on General Plan 2040. On January 28, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended that the City Council to adopt a resolution to amend the General Plan 2040 Land Use Map at the 13 specified locations, which the City Council adopted on March 17, 2025.
The General Plan Land Use Map amendments are consistent with state laws relating to No Net Loss requirement. The No Net Loss requirement, as implemented under the Housing Crisis Act, prohibits a city from adopting a development policy, standard, or condition that would downzone property or reduce allowed residential intensity where housing is permitted. It also states that a city may only make such a change if it concurrently modifies standards elsewhere in the jurisdiction to ensure there is no net loss in residential capacity. Of the 13 sites identified, only two sites had changes to land use designations that would decrease the residential density. These changes shifted the designations of both sites to align with existing and surrounding uses and resulted in a reduction of 77 units of density capacity. The changes in land use designations on the remaining 11 sites, however, resulted in an increase of 1,751 units of density capacity. Because of the net increase of 1,674 units of capacity, the land use designation changes at these two locations did not affect the City’s overall residential development capacity pursuant to the Housing Crisis Act.
6. HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT REQUIREMENTS.
State law requires local agencies to complete an annual review of the implementation of the programs in the Housing Element toward meeting City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). The City’s Housing Successor Agency and Housing Element Annual Progress Report are provided as separate attachments to the March 16, 2026, City Council report.
7. GENERAL PLAN COMPLIES WITH LCI’S GENERAL PLAN GUIDELINES.
San Mateo’s General Plan 2040 complies with applicable LCI’s General Plan Guidelines by incorporating all required topic areas, including environmental justice and identifying environmental justice or equity priority communities. Additionally, as stated in the background section, the City coordinated with the Native American Tribes, San Mateo Consolidated Fire District, water districts (California Water Company, Estero Water District), school districts (San Mateo Foster City Unified School District, San Mateo High School District, California State College System), and County of San Mateo.
8. IMPLEMENTATION.
The Progress Report is focused on actions in the Land Use Element used to implement the General Plan.
It also contains key milestones from other elements that will help guide land use decisions. As some of the General Plan actions will be implemented through the adoption of ordinances or resolutions or will be incorporated into the City’s regular governmental activities, they are not individually listed in the Progress Report, but are rather noted in Exhibit A as “continuous” along with a brief description. For example, this includes routine or reoccurring work in the lead department’s workload, like the City’s Development Review process as development proposals are reviewed for consistency with the City’s policies. Exhibit A is not a comprehensive list of all policies and action items in the General Plan, rather it summarizes the implementation status of select land use related goals, policies and actions. The purpose of providing Exhibit A is to streamline the review and highlight the City’s progress efficiently.
9. PRIORITIES FOR LAND USE DECISION MAKING ESTABLISHED BY THE LOCAL LEGISLATIVE BODY.
The following highlights major legislative actions by the City Council that support the goals of the General Plan:
328 of 424
City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 5 Ballot Measure T (Goal LU 1, Policies H 1.20, LU 1.3 and LU 1.9) – General Plan 2040 plans for specified growth and change in the City primarily focused within ten study areas. Building height limits in San Mateo have been regulated by voter approved initiatives (Measures H, P, and Y) since 1992. In November 2024, following adoption of General Plan 2040, Measure T was approved by the voters, which allowed for the City’s height limits to increase as outlined in the Land Use Element. Measure T allows the City to meet the community’s anticipated housing needs through 2040 as well as allocations the City will be required to plan for by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Since implementation of Measure T, planning applications for the entitlements of over 5,500 residential units, with nearly 1,000 affordable units, were submitted to the City in 2025. The City also began working towards a Comprehensive Zoning Code Update, which will build on the foundation of the General Plan 2040 and Measure T.
Historic Policy Updates (Actions CD 5.8 and CD 5.9) – The City is working to update its Historic Preservation Ordinance (SMMC Chapter 27.66) and prepare a citywide Historic Context Statement as part of the implementation of San Mateo’s General Plan 2040. This effort aims to clarify criteria, strengthen processes, and improve transparency around historic designation and preservation. In June 2024, the City Council held a study session to consider options for how to proceed with updating the City’s local historic ordinance and codes pursuant to General Plan Actions CD 5.8 and CD 5.9. In January 2025, the City Council approved funding for the update of the City's historic policies and procedures, including an update to the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance and the creation of a city-wide historic context statement. Rincon Consultants was selected to support City staff in working on this historic policy update effort. In June the City Council held a study session to receive an update on the policy effort and provide staff with direction ahead of community outreach and engagement. Since the June City Council study session, the project team has held a number of public outreach and engagement activities including three focus group meetings, two virtual workshops, and three pop-up events and has reached over 200 community members. The City published drafts of the Historic Context Statement and Historic Preservation Ordinance in November and December 2025, respectively. To receive feedback on the drafts, the City held a virtual public workshop in mid-January 2026, followed by a City Council study session in late January. Additional focus groups, including with underrepresented community members, will be held in February and March. Following this, staff will bring a revised Historic Context Statement and Draft Historic Preservation Ordinance Amendments to Planning Commission and City Council for consideration in Spring 2026.
Code Amendments for Streamlined Review (Policy H1.6 and Action CD 7.7) – As part of the Community Development Department’s ongoing effort to update the Zoning Code, in 2023, the City adopted a Zoning Code amendment to allow residential projects with up to 25 units that meet objective design standards to be approved administratively. To further streamline review of development projects, on July 15, 2024, the City repealed and adopted new resolutions to eliminate the pre-application Planning Commission study session requirement, eliminate the third-party design review requirement for projects that meet the City’s Object Design Standards (ODS), and simplify noticing and neighborhood meeting procedures. The City further amended the code in 2025 to increase the number of housing units that can be approved administratively from 25 to 99 units subject to the City’s ODS.
10. MAJOR MILESTONES AND PROJECTS.
The following section highlights major planning activities and projects that support the goals of the General Plan. Some of the projects are partially funded through grants, these have been identified with an “*”. Community planning activities/programs are multi-year initiatives and, for the purposes of the APR, the information below includes a status summary for projects that were initiated, continued or completed in 2025.
329 of 424
City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 6 Background on Grants
Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant– The City was awarded approximately $360,500 from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant for the development of Climate Adaptation Plan for Sea Level Rise. In September 2024, City Council adopted a resolution identifying approval authority incompliance with grant program requirements.
The City began work on the plan in 2025 and will begin public outreach in the summer of 2026.
Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grant – The City was awarded approximately $490,000 from the Caltrans Sustainable Communities grant to fund the San Mateo Complete Streets Plan and received notice to proceed in mid-December 2021, and initiated work on the project as described below. In 2023, Phase 1 and 2 of outreach was completed and the City began the process of developing a Complete Streets North Central Plan (NCCSP). The Complete Streets Planned paused in August 2024 due to staffing turnover and vacancies. The project is currently forecasted to restart in FY 2026-27, once those staffing vacancies are expected to be filled.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - The City of San Mateo receives annual funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program provides resources to address a wide range of community development needs, principally for low-income households. The Public Works Department utilizes a portion of the funding to deliver infrastructure improvements within the CDBG priority neighborhood area. In 2024 and throughout 2025, the CDBG program remained focused on intersection safety improvements at the Third Ave. and Norfolk St. intersection, which connects to the Third Ave. bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing at US 101.
Metropolitan Transportation Commission - Transit-Oriented Communities Policy Grant In February 2025, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Planning Committee approved the City’s grant application in the amount of $610,000 to support completion of the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update, which will implement the Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) policy. The TOC policy supports increased residential and commercial densities in areas surrounding transit stations.
The funding will be dedicated to completing of the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update and will pay for City staff time to complete key tasks associated with the update and its environmental documentation.
Planning Activities
Housing Element Update* – Following the adoption of the Housing Element in 2024, the Housing Action Coalition (HAC) filed a lawsuit against the City, claiming that the Housing Element did not satisfy state law because sites listed on the Sites Inventory were not likely to serve as locations for future housing construction because of existing and active uses. In July 2025, the parties entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”). The City agreed to amend the Housing Element to remove certain sites from the Sites Inventory, limit the use of certain other sites for the purposes of “No Net Loss” calculations under Government Code Section 658631. Other updates were completed including adding changes related to the Measure T voter approval, revisions to the realistic capacity of sites based on new information, and minor changes to some of the implementation plan action items.
The main Housing Element document and Appendix C (Housing Resources and Sites Inventory) were updated. All other Housing Element appendices that were adopted by the City and certified by HCD in July 2024 remained unchanged. On December 18, 2025, HCD determined that the City’s proposed Housing Element amendments are in substantial compliance with California Government Code Section 65580 et seq. and can be certified once adopted locally. On February 23, 2026, the City Council adopted 330 of 424
City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 7 Housing Element Amendments and the City is now awaiting response from HCD on their certification determination.
Comprehensive Zoning Code Update* - Building on the foundation of the General Plan, the Planning Division is working towards a comprehensive update of the City’s existing Zoning Code (Title 27). This will be the first comprehensive update of the City's Zoning Code in several decades. The update will allow for implementation of all applicable goals and policies in the General Plan and the 2023-2031 Housing Element (“Housing Element”), as well as address compliance with State law, meet current best practices and include internal consistencies for an effective Zoning Code. In March of 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a qualified consultant to support the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update effort. On June 16, 2025, the City Council voted to appropriate funding to complete the Zoning Code Update and to execute a professional services agreement with PlaceWorks to support this effort. Following approval, PlaceWorks and City staff held a project kick-off meeting beginning of July 2025. PlaceWorks is working closely with staff in assessing the current Zoning Code regulations. The final Zoning Code document will be brought before the Planning Commission for review and recommendation to Council for review for final adoption. Staff anticipates these final adoption hearings to take place during the summer of 2027.
Minimum Residential Densities in Mixed Use Projects, Community Benefits and Density Bonus* – On August 19, 2024, the City held a study session with City Council to present policy options and recommendations on minimum residential requirements in mixed-use projects and an update to the existing Density Bonus/Community Benefits program and inclusionary family housing (two- and threebedroom affordable housing units), pursuant to Housing Element Policies H 1.5 and H 1.9. Staff is currently finalizing draft language to update the SMMC to include new mixed-use zone districts. The standards outlined within these code sections will include minimum density requirements. This proposed update is anticipated to go to public hearings in Spring 2026.
The current Zoning Code does not allow for the higher-density residential and mixed-use development envisioned by the General Plan through the establishment of the Mixed-Use Medium II, Mixed-Use High, Residential Medium II and Residential High land use designations. It was necessary to establish new zoning districts to allow for timely implementation of the General Plan’s adopted land use designations. The proposed high density zone ordinance would implement the General Plan’s land use framework by establishing clear and objective standards for permitted uses, development form, and intensity. The work on the ordinance is ongoing, and staff anticipates that this effort will move forward in 2026 ahead of the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update.
ADU Ordinance Update- Following a letter from HCD sent on October 18, 2024, staff began work to update the City’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance, pursuant to Housing Element Policy H1.4, to address areas of the Ordinance that HCD had identified to the City as non-compliant with State ADU Law. As a part of this process, staff also incorporated additional updates beyond those required under State ADU Law to improve functionality of the Ordinance and allow for greater flexibility in the local ADU regulations to promote more ADU development.
On August 26, 2025 the City held a study session with the Planning Commission to present the required changes and get feedback on some policy questions for additional changes proposed to local ADU standards. Following this study session, staff held a virtual community workshop on the ADU Ordinance updates on September 25, 2025. Following these outreach efforts, the draft Ordinance was further refined, and sent to HCD for an informal review prior to the adoption process. Staff then met with HCD 331 of 424
City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 8 staff and incorporated changes based on HCD feedback into the draft ADU Ordinance for State Law compliance. The updated ADU Ordinance was brought to Planning Commission for a public hearing on December 9, 2025, followed by City Council for first reading on January 26, 2025, and was formally adopted by the City Council on February 2, 2026. The updated ADU Ordinance (Chapter 27.19 of the San Mateo Municipal Code) will become effective 30 days thereafter on March 2, 2026. The City will be sending the adopted ADU Ordinance to HCD for certification as required by State ADU Law, and staff will be working on updated supplemental materials and public outreach in partnership with the San Mateo County ADU Resource Center to continue to support and encourage further ADU development in San Mateo.
Interim measure to address consistency between General Plan and Zoning Code for heights and densities - The provisions of Ordinance No. 2024-10, approved by the voters on November 5, 2024, as Measure T, went into effect on December 19, 2024, which allows for the full implementation of the Land Use Element in General Plan 2040. In the interim, in case of any conflict or inconsistency between Title 27 of the Municipal Code (Zoning Code) and the General Plan 2040, the uses, densities, intensities and heights specified in Table LU-1 (Land Use Designations) in the Land Use Element and associated with the Land Use Map shall control. Provision of Ordinance 2025-04 amended the municipal code to provide consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Code for heights and densities in the interim, as the City undergoes the comprehensive Zoning Code update.
Upcoming Projects – After the passage of Measure T in 2024, the City has received planning applications for 19 residential development projects (six projects have submitted preliminary applications only) for over a total of 5,500 housing units, of which seven are mixed-use development.
Many of these projects are utilizing State Density Bonus to increase residential units above the density limits under the General Plan and are also using combinations of development incentives and waivers under state law. Also, a majority of these projects are eligible and utilizing streamlining provisions under State housing laws and other provisions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to accelerate the City’s review process and are subject to specific timelines such that many are likely to receive entitlements in 2026.
Climate Adaptation Plan for Sea Level Rise* - The City of San Mateo Climate Action Plan for Sea Level Rise will assess the vulnerability of urban development and natural ecosystems magnitude, probability, and severity of climate threats specific to sea level rise and will develop adaptation options to address those vulnerabilities. This project will produce information which will be essential to the City of San Mateo as it prioritizes projects which will not only safeguard the thousands of California families which reside within the City of San Mateo, but also the critical transportation network which serves the greater Bay Area region. In August 2025, City staff began work with a technical consultant to develop the Climate Adaptation Plan for Sea Level Rise. In November 2025, City staff coordinated with the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) to officially initiate plan development, a requirement of the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP) Guidelines and in alignment with SB 272 (2023).
Climate Action Plan – The Climate Action Plan includes strategies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Climate Action Plan contains implementation measures in the following categories:
building electrification, renewable energy, energy efficiency, municipal energy efficiency clean transportation fuels, sustainable transportation fuels, sustainable transportation, solid waste, water and wastewater, and off-road equipment. In January 2025, the City Council adopted reach codes that require higher energy performance standards for new construction than the state code. In July 2025, the City Council adopted “Electrify San Mateo: Sustainable Building Strategy,” providing a roadmap for 332 of 424
City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 9 future decarbonization policies in San Mateo. Additionally, staff continue to work on electric vehicle charging infrastructure to support the City’s transition to a green fleet.
Complete Streets Plan* - The Complete Streets Plan will complement the City’s General Plan Update by creating an actionable plan rooted in safety for all modes and will result in policies, goals, and prioritized projects that are focused on improving mobility, equity, connectivity, and sustainability to build a better circulation network for the City’s future. The Plan will provide the basis for projects that are planned, designed, constructed, and maintained for all roadway users, allowing the City to develop a safe mobility network for many years to come. In 2023, City staff and the consultant team completed Phases I and II of the community engagement plan and began the process of developing a Complete Streets North Central Plan (NCCSP). Work continued on both plans through 2024, with 80% of the Complete Streets Plan and 85% of the NCCSP completed by the end of the year. It should be noted that through the Plan, the City may also qualify for future grant opportunities to implement Plan programs and capital improvement projects. The Complete Streets Planned paused in August 2024 due to staffing turnover and vacancies. The project is currently forecasted to restart in FY 2026-27, once those staffing vacancies are expected to be filled.
Major Construction/Development Projects
Planning applications that were submitted during one reporting year typically receive their entitlements in the next reporting year. Consistent with the General Plan APR reporting requirements, planning application entitlements that were approved during the reporting year are included in the APR report.
During 2025, the City approved entitlements for 24 residential units, but none were for larger development projects. The City also made progress on several publicly funded projects. Major residential projects for which building permits have been issued and other publicly funded projects are highlighted below with a brief status update:
Bay Meadows Phase II MU2 and MU3 – Building permits for Mixed Use Blocks 2 and 3 with a combined 303,000 square-feet of office uses and 67 housing units, were issued in November 2025, but construction has not begun yet.
477 9th Avenue – On February 20, 2024, the City Council approved the mixed-use development consisting of offices and 120 residential units. Building permit applications were submitted in 2024, issued in 2025, and it is now under construction. It is anticipated to be completed by January 2027. 3 rd Ave. and Norfolk St. Intersection Safety Improvements* - A public survey was conducted in September of 2023 to understand how the public currently utilizes the intersection of 3rd Ave. and Norfolk St. and to identify potential areas of concern. The results of the survey were then used to guide the creation of the Intersection Improvement Concept Plan, which was released to the public on September 25, 2024. Project design was finalized by the end of 2024. The improvements will modify the intersection of 3rd Ave. and Norfolk St. to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety, especially for people using the 3rd Ave. overcrossing of Highway 101. The project will also improve the bicycle connection between the intersection of 3rd Ave. and Norfolk St. and the San Mateo Creek bicycle path. A large element of the improvements include modifications to the traffic signal timing and operation to provide additional pedestrian and cyclist safety while not significantly impacting major vehicle movements and delay through the area. Construction on the improvements began in February 2025. Construction continued through 2025 with completion of the new bike path on Norfolk, construction of underground systems (new storm drain, electrical conduit and signal pole foundations), and installation of new signal poles and hardware. Construction is now nearly complete and the new traffic signal timing and 333 of 424

• Relocated deck
Construction started in September 2025 and will last approximately 16 months. As of February 2026, the Project contractor completed site demolition and selective interior demolition. Foundation work is currently in progress.
435 E. 3rd - On February 14, 2023, the Planning Commission approved the mixed-use development consisting of offices and 5 residential units. On May 15, 2025, the Zoning Administrator approved a Minor Modification to the Conditions of Approval, allowing the merger of the two existing lots.
Additionally, a two-year extension was granted, extending its expiration date to February 14, 2027.
A demolition permit was issued for the site on December 23, 2025, followed by issuance of the superstructure permit in February 2026. As of February 2026, demolition is substantially complete, and the site is nearly prepared for foundation construction. Project completion is anticipated in the second quarter of 2027.
