The city of Half Moon Bay hosted a public meeting on Monday about the proposed affordable housing development at 880 Stone Pine Road. The event grew heated at times with some attendees adamantly supporting the project while others were upset over the potential increase in traffic and a drop in home values.
The four-acre property east of Main Street sits on the city’s 22-acre corporation yard and has been identified for potential low-income housing development in the recently released draft of the city’s Cycle 6 Housing Element. Half Moon Bay officials see development as feasible because the land is close to downtown, schools and services and is one of the few city-owned properties that has a realistic chance of housing numerous low-income residents within the next few years.
