Greetings!
As we head into the holiday season, please take note of the COVID-19 Safety Guidance issued by the 10 Bay Area Counties Health Officials. We’re at a precarious moment in San Mateo County in trying to maintain our reopening progress while protecting everyone’s health. Other counties have begun to slip backward to more restrictive rules for businesses. Travelling and large gatherings indoors during the holidays are a recipe for Coronavirus case increases. Please follow the Health Officials guidelines to stay safe.
The City Council will hold a Special Meeting on the Sharp Park Specific Plan this coming Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 6:00 p.m. Please tune in to learn about and provide input on this important plan for the future of West Sharp Park. Check out the following Visualizations to see conceptually what future development could look like and learn about the Guiding Policy Framework the City Council will discuss.
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager
