Greetings!
On Tuesday, San Mateo County (SMC) was informed that due to the increased level of SMC’s 14 day COVID-19 case rate, our county has been placed on the California Department of Public Health’s (CDPH) Targeted Engagement monitoring list. This is a three day monitoring action between SMC and the CDPH. As of this writing, we fully anticipate that SMC will remain on the list for three days, and therefore as of 12:01 am, Saturday August 1, 2020, SMC will be placed on the official State Watch List. Our county will then be subject to additional closures listed at this link
https://covid19.ca.gov/roadmap-counties/ and listed below:
The following industries must close indoor operations, but they may be modified to operate outside (see the article on outside operations below) or by pick-up:
- Dine-in restaurants

Attend an online learning session for the Sharp Park Specific Plan (SPSP) and environmental review scoping meeting for the SPSP and the General Plan Update. Our goal is to ensure you understand what has been done so far and where the SPSP process goes from here.
The City's project team will explain the Guiding Policy Framework presented to the Planning Commission on July 20. The Guiding Policy Framework is an important building block of the SPSP. It outlines key objectives for the plan and identifies elements of the built environment, such as land use, housing density, building height, and the transportation system, that can help to achieve those objectives. The City will also be seeking input on potential environmental impacts that should be studied in the environmental impact report, or EIR, being prepared to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Everyone is welcome to participate and we invite your questions on the Sharp Park Specific Plan!
If you have any questions about the Sharp Park Specific Plan or Plan Pacifica process, please contact Senior Planner Christian Murdock at

High temperatures, extreme dryness and record-high winds have created conditions in our state where any spark at the wrong time and place can lead to a major wildfire. If severe weather threatens a portion of the electric system, it may be necessary for PG&E to turn off electricity in the interest of public safety. This is known as a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS).
