Half Moon Bay Review/Opinion/Letters to Editor, 8/24/16. "MidPen development would be bad for Pacifica." by Erin Macias
| 11 acre Moss Beach affordable housing site, just off Highway 1 |
"Residents need to advocate for
sustainable development all along our coast. Pacifica will be adversely
affected by a high-density MidPen development in Moss Beach. Building
high-density housing in areas with absent or limited services burdens
neighboring communities. Without jobs, public transit, a supermarket and
basic amenities in Moss Beach, Pacificans will feel the pressure from
the new commuters through Pacifica daily.
With the proposed closure of the Sanchez Library, this adds a layer of
absent resources to our new neighbors. Please alert yourself to
development on our coast."

Reference. Midcoast Community Council/Affordable Housing,"MidPen considers Moss Beach 11-acre site." ... "MidPen proposes no more than 80 units, with all rental units affordable
to families earning 30-60% of county median income (currently $107,700
for family of four). The two-story three- or four-plexes would be
designed to blend with the surrounding neighborhood and clustered so that approximately half the site could be dedicated to permanent open space. .... LCP Policy 1.23 limits the number of new dwelling units constructed in
the urban Midcoast to 40 per year, including new second units. New units
with affordability restrictions for low and moderate income can exceed
the 40 units/year limit, but not so that a 3-year average would exceed
that limit." Note the map is the face page image to the referenced Midcoast Community Council article."
