The Land Use Element of the Strive San Mateo General Plan 2040 serves as the blueprint for the development of public and private property in the city, seeking to balance well-designed development and thoughtful preservation with a full spectrum of choices for housing while cultivating a diverse economy and supporting resiliency. It meets the State-mandated requirements for a Land Use Element by defining categories for the location and type of public and private uses of land under the City's jurisdiction, recommending density standards, and including a Land Use Map (Figure LU-1). Its goals, policies, and actions guide land use distribution throughout the city and support the equitable health and well-being of all neighborhoods and community members.
