— by California High Speed Rail Authority
The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) and the city of Millbrae have reached a settlement that allows the city to develop land west of an expanded Millbrae Station without hindering access to it
Millbrae sued the CHSRA in 2022, arguing that building housing on the property would be more beneficial than a parking lot or relocated tracks, according to a local news report
The settlement includes a framework for how the city and the CHSRA will work together
CHSRA officials said in a press release.
The city will lead the land use and planning for transit-oriented-development on the station's west side that does not interfere with the authority's future addition of high-speed rail access to the Millbrae station
Both the authority and the city will involve each other in their planning
“Transit-oriented development to the east of the Millbrae BART station is one of the reasons for the city’s current economic vitality
and this agreement prioritizes transit-oriented development for the west side of the station sooner rather than later," said Millbrae City Manager Tom Williams in the CHSRA press release

Texas — Top-ranked Stanford women’s golf is split up this week
with five golfing at the Charles Schwab Women’s Collegiate at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth
and two individuals golfing at the Silicon Valley Showcase in Millbrae
Stanford is in a loaded field of NCAA contenders
making it the most difficult tournament of the season
For the first time during the 2024-25 season
the Cardinal find themselves not leading a tournament at the end of the day
Stanford is just three strokes back of the lead heading into the final round on Tuesday
This was the first time all season Stanford played a tournament on a par-70 course
which is how Colonial Country Club played with only two par-5s
Scores were much higher in relation to par than normal
which at a glance created some surprising scores for the top teams in the country
In a field that contains 11 teams ranked in the top 25 of the most recent Clippd poll
3 Oregon leads the field at 1-under as a team through two rounds of golf
9 Wake Forest is one stroke back in second while top-ranked Stanford is 2-over as a group
No other team is within striking distance of those three
19 Auburn next closest in fourth at 9-over
Continuing on a strong spring season, Meja Örtengren continued to shine during the first two rounds in Texas
The freshman finished with a 1-under 69 in the opening round thanks to five birdies during the round
It was nearly a clean second round for Örtengren
who once again had five birdies compared to just two bogeys
It was her second-best round of the season
with her 10-under 62 in the second round of the San Diego State Classic standing as the only better round
The biggest riser during the second round was Paula Martín Sampedro
who climbed up 12 spots into the top 15 after posting a 1-under 69 in the second round
She caught fire in the middle of her second round
with three birdies in a seven-hole span that moved her up the leaderboard quickly
She finished with a 72-69-141 to put herself in contention to get into the top 10 before the end of the tournament
Her 69 in the second round is also the 15th round in the 60s in her collegiate career
Kelly Xu was at one point in contention for the lead during the first round
but her scores fell off a bit as the day went on
She had a clean front nine with a pair of birdies during the first round that put her among the top golfers in the field
but only had two more birdies the rest of the day
who went 70-72-142 during the first two rounds of competition and is entrenched in the top 20
Leigh Chien and Andrea Revuelta competed separately from the team at the Silicon Valley Showcase in Millbrae
Both found themselves off to great starts in the first of two rounds on Monday
at both times flirting with the lead and Chien even owning a share of it midway through the round
and Revuelta finished with a 1-over 72 but ended with three birdies on the final five holes
Revuelta shined in the final round of the afternoon in the Bay
her third round in the 60s during her freshman season
Chien was consistent with another 1-under 70
matching the score she posted during the first round
Chien is in a tie for third and three strokes back of the lead in Millbrae
while Revuelta is in a tie for seventh and four strokes back of first
The final round of the Charles Schwab Women’s Collegiate begins at 7:45 am PT on Tuesday
This marks the third tournament of the spring for Stanford in which the Cardinal play two rounds on Monday with the final round on Tuesday
Chien and Revuelta will tee off at 8:30 am PT on Tuesday as well in the final round of the Silicon Valley Showcase

News & Reviews News Wire Caltrain to relocate headquarters to Millbrae
Rail agency will lease space in new SamTrans building
— Commuter rail operator Caltrain will relocate its headquarters to Millbrae

The 93-foot tall structure is expected to yield around 125,800 square feet
The final version of 1301 Broadway will include parking for 63 cars
more than the initial 24 cars proposed but significantly less than local zoning’s requirement of 146 cars
The affordable project is able to use the State Density Bonus program to exceed base zoning to add more housing and receive waivers for requirements such as height and parking
ten will be designated as affordable to very low-income households
and 19 units for moderate-income households
Two market-rate units will be dedicated to on-site managers
Orange County-based AO is the project architect
The structure is a two-story concrete podium with five wood-frame floors
The historicized design features will reflect Spanish revival architecture
The facade will be clad with stone veneer and stucco
Street improvements will add new trees and planters
A third-floor podium terrace will be furnished with outdoor seating and a playground
The existing 0.67-acre parcel is currently occupied by a single-story medical center and surface parking
Future residents will be less than 15 minutes by bus from the Millbrae Train Station to the south and the retail-lined San Mateo Avenue to the north
The estimated cost and timeline for construction have yet to be shared
We need more affordable housing this is so needed in our community
Who is a apart of this project may God bless them
I hope they make it affordable because their are a lot if families that are in need
The rent are too high and we low income families need more affordable unit
This is very important for us to survive and to feed our families and pay our bills
We need more affordable housing to be able to all people
Thank you so much just make it affordable please we are in need
I am housing navigator would like resources on affordable housing
How do I get on a waitlist for the very low income apartment
What is the income you need to be considered
There should be more information published so there’s a fair chance for all low income workers
San Mateo needs more diversity and low income government supported housing that people of color
the Station 16 apartments at the Gateway right above the Millbrae BART station aren’t renting very well
Same problem down the road at the Aperture in San Bruno
Not that many people seem interested in moving to the suburbs only to live in cheaply built apartments next to railroad tracks – especially if they don’t actually have offices to commute to by train
Station 16 might get more traction when the nearby life sciences project is finished and populated (where residents could actually just walk to work)
These apartments will probably benefit from that as well
Please provide more informations on the very low income housing and how to apply

Millbrae City Hall in Millbrae on July 10, 2024. Stemming from a bitter debate over plans to turn a hotel into supportive housing, the recall effort against two Millbrae City Council members appears to have passed. (Beth LaBerge/KQED)Millbrae voters appear to have recalled two City Council members who did not oppose a controversial supportive housing project
More than 70% of voters approved removing Angelina Cahalan and Maurice Goodman from office
Only about 40% of registered Millbrae voters participated in the special election; ballots were due Tuesday
citing concerns about revenue and job losses from the hotel conversion
a former volunteer for Goodman’s campaign
said the recall results were “heartbreaking.” As someone who has previously experienced homelessness
she said the backlash against the supportive housing project from recall organizers was hurtful
“The hardest part about being homeless is the stigma,” she said
“How people think about you and what people say — and so to hear the rhetoric that was used in this campaign against homeless people was hard.”
Residents who opposed the project said the development could cause an uptick in 911 calls and pose a danger to the nearby parks and Lomita Park Elementary School
which sits across the street from the hotel
said he was exhausted but ultimately happy that the results showed many other residents shared his concerns
the campaign was about accountability,” he said
For the months leading to the signing of the letter
we had pleaded repeatedly to both council members about the concerns we had.”
both council seats will remain vacant until the remaining City Council members appoint someone to fill them for the remaining term
a lawsuit against the Board of Supervisors’ decision was dismissed in June by a San Mateo County Superior Court judge who said it was “unripe” for a decision because the county hadn’t specified whether the funding would come from the state’s Project Homekey or other affordable housing subsidy programs
City leaders say they are still considering options to respond

The La Quinta Inn and Suites hotel in Millbrae on July 10
2024. (Beth LaBerge/KQED)Two Millbrae City Council members are at the center of a bitter recall effort
stemming from yet another dispute over affordable housing
Calls for the ousting of Councilmembers Angelina Cahalan and Maurice Goodman came after the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors voted in September to purchase the La Quinta Inn and Suites in Millbrae with funding from Gov
which began during the pandemic to help cities and counties convert hotels into housing for formerly unhoused people
the Millbrae City Council voted on whether to send a letter to the board opposing the project
The vote passed, and other council members sent the letter (PDF) without Cahalan’s and Goodman’s signatures
The letter stated the City Council was “disappointed in how San Mateo County has handled the proposed project,” and criticized the Board of Supervisors for not notifying them before the decision
While Calahan has not publicly stated her position on the affordable housing project
Goodman has said he supports the project and has been a clear advocate for the unhoused community
The recall effort is led by residents who feel their concerns around safety and the project’s economic feasibility went unheard by the two council members last fall. Ousting Cahalan and Goodman are necessary “to preserve the safety and well-being of our community,” according to the recall organization’s website
The San Mateo County Democratic Party is supporting the two council members and called the recall effort an inappropriate use of city resources
“We believe recalls should not be used as a tool to oppose council members who take positions that some people do not agree with,” April Vargas
a member of the party’s Central Committee
“If people don’t agree with what the council members do
they can wait until they are up for reelection in 2026.”
Ballots for the special election have been mailed to voters
who have until July 23 to decide whether to recall the council members
The city is also in the middle of a lawsuit surrounding the proposed purchase of the La Quinta hotel
alleging that the Board of Supervisors didn’t give Millbrae residents a chance to weigh in under a 1950s provision in the California Constitution known as Article 34
which gives local voters the right to decide on any affordable housing project in their city
San Mateo Superior Court Judge Nancy Fineman dismissed the case in late June
stating it was “unripe” for a decision because the county hadn’t specified whether the funding would come from Project Homekey or other affordable housing subsidy programs
Her decision made no mention of Article 34
“The city believes the county is taking an action at La Quinta that doesn’t follow what the rules are,” said Sam Singer
“[The city] is considering their options to respond.”
Earlier this year, lawmakers flirted with placing a constitutional amendment to repeal Article 34 on the November ballot, but pulled the measure last month because of how costly the campaign would be
has been a notorious scapegoat for delaying affordable housing
and multiple attempts to repeal it have failed
