Pillar Point Harbor RV Park Public Restroom Proposal and Two Other Possibilities...

PHOTO-ESSAY. The above Proposed Restrooms will be hit by waves with the King High Tides. Add storm and swell and wind, and the Jetty waves hit the space where the bathrooms are proposed.

MEETING of the San Mateo County Harbor Commission June 19th, 6:30pm,

second floor of 504 Avenue Alhambra, in El Granada.

The 3 yellow circles 2, 3, 4 were the sites proposed and commented on at HMB Planning Commission last January. They were not well received then for the reasons noted below.

For this week’s meeting, what is now called the preferred alternative places the restroom in the day-use lot close to the entrance, away from the waves, but uses up 15 parking spaces.

This photo was taken earlier this year, 2019, during the storms.

Here is a link to the contract between the Harbor District and Keet Neerhan, and a letter from KN Properties, in response.

Here is a link to a 1/8/2019 City of Half Moon Bay Study Session on Pillar Point RV Park Public Restroom Project, Coastal Development Permit.

Without a bathroom at this location, beachgoers have a long walk in order to reach the next nearest public facilities at a Miramar trailhead to the south or closer to boat docks in the harbor to the north.

What do you think?

Many think the existing bathroom has a washer and dryer. Photo above was taken when Leonard Woren (Granada Sanitary District) was meeting with Keet Neerhan and Jim Tucker about view blocking trees.

Upon investigation by Half Moon Bay City Manager, Bob Nisbet, there is actually a working bathroom there.

However, Lisa Ketcham, who used to be on the Mid-Coast Community Council for many years, says the bathroom is so old that you would practically have to start over.
