The City of Belmont is developing the Harbor Industrial Area (HIA) Specific Plan to guide anticipated growth and development in this district to best serve the community and facilitate a thriving economy. The HIA -- east of El Camino and west of Hwy 101 -- is a 62-acre site identified in Belmont’s 2017 General Plan Update as a special study area. The HIA is in the unincorporated area of San Mateo County, but directly abuts Belmont’s City limits. The Specific Plan process will provide the groundwork for annexation and integration of this key redevelopment area into the City of Belmont.
