📰 News we're reading

• CP&DR News Briefs September 22, 2026: S.F. Waterfront; Santa Cruz Cnty. Data Centers; Huntington Beach; and More (cp-dr.com) — Half Moon Bay residents should know the City Council has approved zoning changes to resolve a state lawsuit over housing-law compliance, boosting density on several properties and streamlining approvals on others. The move could accelerate new housing, including workforce units, by allowing some projects to bypass public hearings and planning commission review while helping the city satisfy state housing mandates.
