Final Downtown Area Plan
San Mateo’s Downtown has historically been viewed as the center of the City. With the recent changes in the downtown over the past 10 years, there is a need to examine the future direction of the downtown. The type of private development which should be encouraged, the nature of public improvements, and the role of the City and Redevelopment Agency in actively and proactively supporting the downtown need to be determined.
This Downtown Plan update will provide a framework for future decision making. The policies will provide an overall direction to be followed, and will be used to evaluate private development projects. Specific implementation measures will be developed to guide the City’s and Redevelopment Agency’s actions regarding public improvements, and the ultimate disposition of publicly owned land in the downtown.
