San Mateo Community Benefit Agreements
Developer agreements and community benefits are on the agenda for San Mateo City Council's Monday, April 6, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. This is the first meeting on this general topic and Staff states that this will be a big picture discussion with the Council on the prioritization of community benefits as they relate to development projects. The City currently has policies in the General Plan that allow for increased heights in exchange for public improvements substantially in excess of city requirements, but those "improvements" have not been identified or a process developed to guide a project through.

The council agenda is available at the City's public portal HERE.
