It’s Time to Talk About Our Future!

General Plan & Housing Element Virtual Workshops

Don't miss a chance to join your community and weigh in on a very important next step in our Strive San Mateo General Plan update this Thursday, April 15 or Saturday, April 17.

Tell us how you think we should prepare for the future of San Mateo through the year 2040 during our General Plan update process. We're also kicking off our Housing Element update to plan for new housing for all income levels.

These two long-range planning documents will help guide decisions about housing, transportation, the environment, public safety, economic development and much more.

We Need Your Input! April & May Virtual Workshops

Imagining Scenarios for San Mateo's Future

Participants will learn about the community input and work leading up to the creation of three Draft Alternatives for San Mateo’s future. The Draft Alternatives propose a range of different options for land use changes, transportation improvements, and housing development through the year 2040.

Explore the Draft Alternatives in more detail in small groups and help us improve them by joining one of these workshops. The same info will be provided at both.

Please register here and the meeting links will be emailed out in advance of the meeting.
