At the Sept. 30 meeting, City Council unanimously (5-0) approved resolutions and introduced ordinances for the certification of the final Environmental Impact Report and the approval of the 64-acre Parkline mixed-use master plan located at 201, 301 and 333 Ravenswood Ave. and 555 and 565 Middlefield Road, with several modifications. The changes include two separate square footage caps for office/research and development spaces (925,000 square feet) and commercial amenity or commercial/retail uses (75,000 square feet), and the incorporation of “Dark Skies” guidelines to minimize light pollution from project lighting. Modifications to the development agreement provide flexibility for the applicant to propose additional retail/commercial or amenity space beyond 75,000 square feet if the office square footage is reduced accordingly as part of a future public review process to amend the conditional development permit. The second reading to adopt the ordinances is scheduled to take place at the Oct. 7 City Council meeting at 6 p.m. in City Council Chambers (751 Laurel St.) and via Zoom. This is the City Council’s final action on the project. The agenda and meeting materials for the City Council meeting are posted to the City website. More information on the proposed project is available on the City-maintained project page. If there are questions on the proposed project or to submit written comments, please email Principal Planner Corinna Sandmeier at cdsandmeier@menlopark.gov before 5 p.m. Oct. 7.
