Belmont just approved a project similar to the Hillsdale Terraces proposal, but with half the density! It has 73 units on two acres; Hillsdale Terraces wants 74 units on one acre. The Belmont project is 4 stories high, not 5 stories. Like Hillsdale Terraces, it is also mixed-use, on El Camino, and it is only a 9 minute walk to the train station.
Please tell the city that its neighbor, Belmont was able to deliver a reasonable housing solution for its citizens, not one that is the densest yet, overloading our infrastructure. The San Mateo Planning Commission meeting for Hillsdale Terraces is not yet scheduled, but we will notify you here when it is.
Here is a link to the San Mateo Daily Journal more details on the Belmont project at 490 El Camino:
