A year after facing revisions, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors has unanimously approved changes to its housing plan, dubbed the ‘housing element.’ The plan, which outlines how the county will address housing access for disadvantaged groups and tackle water and sewage issues, has been expanded to include a farmworker labor housing study, a community plan for Pescadero, and a rezoning of 126 parcels for residential development. The county’s goal is to build 2,833 homes by 2031, with 60% allocated for low- to moderate-income earners. The plan is expected to receive certification from state regulators, ensuring compliance with housing laws.
