To: The San Mateo Planning Commission and The San Mateo City Council


In the past 5 years, we've reviewed several proposals from St. Mathew's to build a new 11,000 square foot building on their property.


Enough is enough.


In all of these, we've seen no material difference from the original proposal, in that they have yet to provide a solution that is similar to Borel Bank, Serra High School, Draeger's, and the main Public Library (among others), all of which were required to provide adequate, onsite, permanent parking, rather than rely on special use permites and promises made by their current administration.


Accordingly, for the third time, we respectfully ask you to reject their current proposal, and we also respectfully ask you to refuse to accept any further proposals that are not materially different and/or do not address the parking and traffic issues in a more permanent, substantive manner.

The Planning Commission thinks they can wait us out while St. Matthews keeps pushing these garbage proposals. I am tired of the City Council turning a blind eye to the traffic disaster this project will force on our streets. We are not going anywhere until they finally kill this plan for good.

March 6, 2011

The San Mateo Planning Commission can no longer ignore the massive wall of opposition we have built against St. Matthews. Their constant attempts to bypass basic parking requirements are a slap in the face to this neighborhood and we are holding the line until they finally back off.

Enough with the traffic already. It is impossible to get through there at school release time. We are full.

St Matthews keeps pushing this and ignoring the neighborhood. Parking is a disaster. Stop approving this stuff.
