Half Moon Bay Planning Commission Sets October 27 Hearing on Measure D Code Amendments

HALF MOON BAY, San Mateo County — October 26, 2026. Residents interested in local land-use rules have an opportunity to follow an upcoming planning discussion. The City of Half Moon Bay has announced a Measure D Code Amendment Public Hearing and Study Session on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 7 p.m. at the Ted Adcock Community Center.

What the official notice confirms

The municipality’s homepage highlights the date, time and venue for the Planning Commission discussion. The town’s October calendar separately lists a Planning Commission meeting on October 27. A study session and public hearing are part of a planning process; neither should be presented as proof that proposed ordinance language has already passed or gone into effect.

Measure D relates to locally significant land-use policy. However, the homepage banner alone does not detail every proposed text amendment, parcel impact, or legal effect. Readers evaluating a specific property should consult the complete current staff report and draft code language rather than rely on an event headline.

Questions for residents and property owners

Which sections of the municipal code would be amended? How would the changes affect any existing entitlements, permitted uses, development limits or design standards? Are city staff recommending an immediate decision, further analysis or a recommendation to the City Council? Does the published record explain alternatives and opportunities to provide comments?

Until those documents are reviewed, it would be misleading to claim the amendment automatically approves a development, changes a property boundary or determines any individual’s future permit rights.

How to participate

The city lists the Ted Adcock Community Center as the location and 7 p.m. as the starting time. Residents planning to attend should verify meeting access, speaker-card procedures and the most recent agenda before traveling. The city’s official website has links to Meeting Agendas, planning services and local-government contacts.
