Speakers requested barricades on Kelly Avenue, banners on Main Street and continued access to McDutra Park for the first‑Thursday events from May through October.

Artist and event volunteer Linda B. Miller told the council that Make It Main Street is not seeking direct city funding for 2025 but sought the city's permission to block Kelly Avenue and provide barricades and banners. “Make It Main Street is not asking for direct monetary support for 2025. What we need is … support for the use of McDutra Park, Kelly Avenue, providing barricades,” she said.

Organizer Judy Shintani described last year's Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month program that used the Make It Main Street platform and said the event brought participants and visitors from across the Bay Area. Victoria Cormack, a gerontologist and longtime coast resident, asked the council to allow the barricade and to continue the children's art space that has been subsidized by grants: “Please allow the barrier to be put up on Kelly and allow people to walk on the first Thursday night of each month and enjoy Make It Main Street,” she said.

City staff told the council the event is likely to proceed but that final logistical details remain to be confirmed. When asked whether barriers would be a problem, staff said they are working with the event organizer, Aaron Tormey, to finalize planning and coordinate barricades and public‑safety logistics. Staff said they would continue to work with the organizer and that the city would provide the permitting and barricade support if the logistics are resolved.

Context: Make It Main Street is a monthly evening event (first Thursday, May–October) with vendor tables, performances and a children's arts area; organizers said the event receives a mix of vendor fees, grants and donations and has been recognized by the county for community arts services.

No formal council action was taken; staff said it will continue coordination with the organizer and return with details if needed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","HMBCC 3/18/25 - Half Moon Bay City Council Meeting - March 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Multiple speakers at public forum urged the council to permit the monthly Make It Main Street events to block Kelly Avenue and use McDutra Park; staff said final planning details and barricade logistics are still being finalized with the event organizer.","taxTitle","Half Moon Bay, Half Moon Bay City, San Mateo County, California","taxId",59290,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6124577,"Seton Coastside hospital officials show reconstruction progress, tell council relicensing depends on fire hydrants and generators",931,897000,1828000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2681817-56635030819de2d4e8a001d50cc654d1&start=897&end=1828","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2681817-56635030819de2d4e8a001d50cc654d1/thumbnail_897000.jpg","/articles/6124577/California/Seton-Coastside-hospital-officials-show-reconstruction-progress-tell-council-relicensing-depends-on-fire-hydrants-and-generators","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6124577-284a33f8b9c46a473da25be37a153b1f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770455152&Signature=H26hz-O6gBnMlxLyOyTbYXRHLL7huAtrLZhqc3QTfTPdY7RkUd7KgxNZWHX8EmhlfN7susI9DTAeFvS7DmZDlbeQBBZ3oDNIa-W9TQCl6OmoCRb-xdTBnzbm~Xc9jOTUQE1mtT3FZhtUYMhfwp~KhBXUCUaZ3~-nNROhNWnh~qmz3FwbfizcpeY9TmH27oZ3v6NoggEO1wsMyktwrUPn8TM8wDj1GWyGv78UQ0MmiDx2HyQTA6ugFhEh4m6u1RRcp-y9IMO6g-PSrbqN1iKZL8G3SACtk-o66Vkp6lRkXHBFQyKVUm89MQHMOfaiRVCsfD2b~6zq17Nv-QxlbHyJhQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Seton Coastside hospital executives briefed the Half Moon Bay City Council on March 18 about reconstruction work at the coastal hospital damaged by storms in 2023 and 2024, saying major repairs are mostly complete but relicensing will require additional infrastructure and state review.

Aman Duper, the hospital executive managing the reconstruction, told the council the facility is licensed as an OSHPD 1 (acute care hospital) and so must meet the more stringent building and life‑safety requirements that apply to hospitals. He said completed work includes a full roof replacement, new electrical lines and lighting, demolition and rebuilding of damaged outbuildings and retaining walls, tile and moisture‑resistant finishes installed in patient rooms and hallways, asbestos abatement, and replacement of HVAC units and other long‑lead items.

Duper said the hospital discovered the campus lacked municipal fire hydrants when city fire officials reviewed the site, and that the North County Fire Department recommended a minimum of three hydrants on campus. “It is subject to a complete relicensing survey,” Duper said, noting that relicensing will require code‑required repairs and installation of fire protection and emergency systems.

He said the hospital has replaced “many of the heating and cooling units” and that work included installing new electrical panels, repairing the nurses’ station and replacing damaged medical equipment. Duper noted the structure sustained multiple weather events—one in 2023 and another in 2024—and that damage included mudslides that required new retaining walls and demolition of a damaged engineering building.

Duper asked council members to schedule a small group tour of the completed interior work and said the chief remaining delays were long‑lead items for the emergency generators. “We are hoping, we are anticipating that we will complete everything by end of spring,” he told the council.

Council member Penrose, who toured the site earlier, praised the quality of repair work. Several council members asked for details about bed counts and emergency services. Duper said the restored facility will keep the same bed counts as before closure: 16 skilled‑nursing beds, five acute‑care beds, and the emergency area expanded from seven to eight ER bays with an additional four urgent‑care rooms on the floorplan under consideration.

Seton representatives said emergency response systems, the fire alarm, and nurse‑call systems are being upgraded to integrate with local agencies; they also said some medical equipment was discarded because it was no longer usable after water intrusion.

No formal council action was taken; the item was an informational presentation. Hospital staff requested to host council tours in small groups for familiarization.","Hospital executives gave a detailed progress report on reconstruction at Seton Coastside, saying work is about 80–90% complete, but relicensing as an OSHPD‑1 facility requires installation of fire hydrants, replacement of emergency generators and completion of long‑lead mechanical and electrical items.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6124582,"Half Moon Bay approves up to $300,000 to keep farmworker households housed while Stone Pine Cove opens",1180,7872000,9052000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2681817-56635030819de2d4e8a001d50cc654d1&start=7872&end=9052","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2681817-56635030819de2d4e8a001d50cc654d1/thumbnail_7872000.jpg","/articles/6124582/California/Half-Moon-Bay-approves-up-to-300000-to-keep-farmworker-households-housed-while-Stone-Pine-Cove-opens","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6124582-684584b60bda706ff95c7c28b81ca693/orig.mp4?Expires=1770455152&Signature=Lv-IHQVs6WOw5DkaFKqfFCo-ya5ziezCWh3E4PV7rucuv1MFKkGzWWry1jRHJYjUrQcYu2E4mHH1twXEouVfioN7QCVdd0HHz1DXKs8dDoxPwBRtO-NZjOnz6e~2QnLs-dero7e7TKSQBKGvcjTuq~3r1bnEYFCYC3CyuR-8te5bNrasJX6408BGJxn3AhHJcdQsoTF1CV5s7JFlyOCXMFJzUXebdxVJwg91sMFLXzwDK7IugmUEqPXAf85yL2l1bPQcfhWEGa9PUw-0ECxxB3bodtRnqp73z9CZMLVChQi~799aTAycNLpPpujdoOeNuMrsqnDN5rab8tSfHjm4uw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Half Moon Bay City Council on March 18 unanimously approved a measure authorizing up to $300,000 from the city’s affordable housing fund to support emergency housing for farmworker households displaced by a January 2023 mass shooting.

Council members approved the funding to supplement private philanthropic donations and an expected outside contribution while developers complete Stone Pine Cove, a county-backed homeownership project that will have priority access for displaced farmworkers.

Why it matters: city staff said the emergency support prevents renewed homelessness for households the council, county and nonprofit partners have sheltered since the 2023 incident. Staff said the city has already used a mix of philanthropic grants, county funding and landlord agreements to house 19 households temporarily; the city's contribution is meant to bridge a shortfall that exists until Stone Pine Cove units become available.

City staffer Julissa Acosta summarized the history: after the 2023 incident 19 households were temporarily sheltered—initially in hotels and then in a combination of Airbnb.org placements and local rental units—while county and nonprofit partners worked to secure longer-term options. Acosta told the council the county earlier invested about $1 million and that private donors and foundations provided additional sums; the city also contributed $300,000 from its affordable housing fund last year. She said staff has identified a remaining funding gap of roughly $300,000 to carry these households through July, when Stone Pine Cove is expected to be completed and eligible displaced households can move in.

Acosta said the city is also pursuing additional philanthropic funding and a promising $100,000 application to the Sobrato Foundation but asked the council to act now to prevent displacement while the other funding sources complete their processes. “We’re asking city council to continue providing that little gap in funding or shortage from now until July,” she said.

The council's authorizing motion also directed the city manager to negotiate and execute an amendment to the city's contract with Abode Services, which is managing lease negotiations with landlords and placement for the households.

Vote: Council member Johnson — yes; Council member Nagenghast — yes; Council member Penrose — yes; Vice Mayor Redick — yes; Mayor Brownstone — yes. Motion carried unanimously.

Program and process details: staff said Stone Pine Cove applicants who were displaced by the shooting will be given top priority for units. The Stone Pine Cove application period opened March 17 and closes April 18; eligibility requires applicants be farmworkers who live and work in the county and be first-time homebuyers, with priority tiers for those displaced by the shooting and other high-need farmworkers. Abode Services will continue negotiating month-to-month leases with participating landlords until permanent placements are ready.

Next steps: the council vote authorizes immediate use of the affordable housing fund up to the approved cap and allows the city manager to finalize the Abode Services amendment. Staff committed to returning with a post‑closeout accounting of funds used and any philanthropic funds received.","The council unanimously authorized up to $300,000 from the city's affordable housing fund to supplement philanthropic donations and maintain emergency housing for 19 households displaced by a 2023 mass shooting until permanent units become available at Stone Pine Cove.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6124587,"Half Moon Bay council directs staff to submit revised housing element to state amid dispute over church site",3452,3716000,7168000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2681817-56635030819de2d4e8a001d50cc654d1&start=3716&end=7168","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2681817-56635030819de2d4e8a001d50cc654d1/thumbnail_3716000.jpg","/articles/6124587/California/Half-Moon-Bay-council-directs-staff-to-submit-revised-housing-element-to-state-amid-dispute-over-church-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6124587-dab83cd21cafca2529e89b870397d358/orig.mp4?Expires=1770455152&Signature=eE89mf1HbeDVkDYAXtqBX5eExNH8p1fOiXjcMKOOb0us~Y~Gw1Lrwsda-isJg9mSCisdyo6NToW0q73Ursdlihdyvq~N-LxC9b-snegkXpyEys9e6xHgNvvQSY3vrc8OjV0tbHO~T3NP6HyR-39a3ZGKU0UJZ6zERCe3InDBJFw6CYb0BezvarrgHkCpXJ6o7XJZrl5SGyd-cluWOewBd11Fg64sSSecebIZ7Ze~WG4iQWsflfkNr6O6I5dmTHHM9umdXRAww-oKZ-nICNgP2j8VdBp5dmSBgiv5T1tnTbZAvVlj1xB8h4j-XBamORW6k-mNYPnWKs8CwSLO2x50jg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Half Moon Bay City Council on March 18 voted 4-1 to direct staff to submit a revised draft of the city’s 2023–2031 housing element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

The action, approved over one dissent, moves the city closer to securing a certified housing element—a requirement for some state grants and a foundation for local housing production—even though HCD and the California Coastal Commission have a pending matter related to Measure D, the city’s dwelling-unit allocation system.

The housing element is the portion of the general plan that sets housing goals and identifies sites suitable for development during the planning period. Housing Programs Manager Mike Noche told the council the draft before them reflected HCD’s requested edits from a November 2024 letter and that submitting the revised draft will put HCD back on a 60‑day review clock.

Why it matters: a certified housing element can be required for or improve competitiveness for state grant programs and is central to the city’s ability to plan and incentivize new affordable and workforce housing. Council members repeatedly noted the technical scrutiny HCD is applying to the current cycle and the risk that additional rounds of revision could delay certification.

During public comment, clergy and parishioners from Our Lady of the Pillar urged removal of their property from the city’s list of “opportunity sites,” saying the church intends to expand educational uses rather than sell or redevelop the site. Father Jose Corral said, “We are asking the city of Half Moon Bay to remove the private property listed as Site 3 from the housing element.” Several other speakers, including parishioners and an attorney’s letter submitted to the record, argued the property owner has consistently rejected inclusion for housing.

In response, outside planning consultant Jeff Bradley, who worked on the housing element, described the sites inventory as the “core of the housing element” and said inclusion on the opportunity sites list does not change a landowner’s existing rights. Bradley noted that the listing is meant to show where housing could be feasible—not to obligate owners to develop for housing.

Council discussion focused on process risk and statutory obligations. Noche told the council that HCD’s November letter asked for a number of technical edits—monitoring RHNA progress, changes tied to recent state law on ADUs and multifamily parking, and an additional site to meet HCD’s minimum site count. He also said the city has not yet received the third, referenced letter about Measure D and the Coastal Commission; staff recommended moving forward with submission while HCD’s pending guidance is awaited.

The final vote: Johnson — yes; Nagenghast — no; Penrose — yes; Vice Mayor Redick — yes; Mayor Brownstone — yes. The motion carried. The council’s resolution directs staff to submit the current revised draft to HCD and to continue coordinating with the Coastal Commission, while preserving language in the element noting that owners of listed opportunity sites are not obligated to pursue housing.

What’s next: staff said the city aims to finalize the Mitigated Negative Declaration (environmental review) in the coming weeks and will continue outreach. HCD’s further responses, and any Coastal Commission input on Measure D, could prompt additional revisions later in the process.","The council voted 4-1 to send a revised draft of the city’s 2023–2031 housing element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development, even as parish leaders urged removal of their property from the list of opportunity sites and a separate state letter on Measure D remains pending.","actionData","errors"]
