Community Development Help Shape the Zoning Code Update The City's Zoning Code is being updated to align with the recently adopted General Plan 2040 and 2023–2031 Housing Element. General Plan 2040 was adopted based on extensive community input, and established policies around important topics, like what kind of development is allowed where, updated housing densities and revised height limits. Now, the City is asking for community input on how to improve the Zoning Code to be more user friendly and update standards that guide how new buildings look and feel and fit into existing neighborhoods. To support this discussion, we have published a series of white papers to provide context for the Zoning Code Update and support informed participation. This includes: . Building Height Limits Commercial Uses and Regulations Single-Family Residential Regulations Public Noticing Requirements Open Space Requirements Setbacks and Buffers We want to hear YOUR ideas about how the City can improve the Zoning Code and update regulations for these key topics. The Zoning Code Update - Key Issues Survey will be open through Monday, March 9, 2026. On the General Plan Implementation: Zoning Code Update section of the Strive San Mateo webpage you can get more details, provide comments, and sign up for the project email list.

Marina Branch Library Restoration Project Update Restoration is underway at the Marina Branch Library! The City started restoration in fall 2025.

A large amount of demolition and other preparatory has been completed and crews are currently engaging in subterranean work to level out the building. The upcoming improvements later this year will include energy-efficiency upgrades and a redesigned floor plan to better serve the community. The o stabilize the building, crews are installing drilled piers (deep supports placed into the ground). Once that work is finished, the building will be slowly and carefully lifted back to the correct level.
