Dueling measures to regulate San Mateo growth falling short of passage

Measures R and Y — two opposing measures that address density limits, height limits, and inclusionary housing policies in the city of San Mateo’s general plan — have not yet reached the majority of votes needed for either to pass.

Unofficial election results released by San Mateo County at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday show that Measure Y had 49 percent yes votes while Measure R had 47 percent yes votes, less than the majority required for either to pass.
