The City of Menlo Park is participating in this multi-city initiative to explore updates to and/or enact new affordable housing policies to be applied to new development projects. These policy studies include some combination of residential affordable housing impact fees, inclusionary requirements and in-lieu fees and commercial linkage fees. The project team, led by Strategic Economics and Community Planning Collaborative, is hosting a virtual public meeting to share the purpose and goals of the study and explain how the findings could be used to inform policies that help produce more affordable housing in Menlo Park. The meeting will provide an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions and participants will also be invited to provide feedback on these policies via a follow-up online survey. Join the virtual public meeting Monday, April from 6–7 p.m. via Zoom. Please send any questions or comments to stakeholderfeedback@strategiceconomics.com.
