Architectural Advisory Committee Meeting, Thursday, July 10: Aaron’s Beach Inn Proposal

The City of Half Moon Bay has begun public review of a proposed project known as Aaron’s Beach Inn, located at 4150 Cabrillo Highway North, between Sam’s Chowder House and the Beach House Hotel.

The current proposal includes:

  1. A three-story hotel with 20 guest rooms featuring kitchenettes and a rooftop deck
  2. A front parking lot with access from Cabrillo Highway, bicycle parking, landscaping, and a trash enclosure
  3. A swimming pool and patio area at the rear of the property, with a walking path connecting to the Coastal Trail
  4. Public coastal access and dedicated coastal access parking

Given the site’s proximity to bluff face, dunes, and marine habitat, the project is subject to environmental review, including a Biological Resource Evaluation (BRE) and a 45-day public comment period. See the link below for more information on the BRE and comment period.
