Menlo Park public benefit study session set for April 14

Emails Menlo Park Economic Development Manager Jim Cogan: “There is a debate raging, in the Bay Area communities experiencing strong development pressure, about how to ensure that the intensification of land uses to meet market demand also improves the community.

“The Menlo Park City Council will be hosting a ‘public benefit’ study session to learn more about different approaches to defining ‘public benefit’ and how other communities have shared in the potential windfall of new development. Michael Yarne of Build Public will facilitate this discussion.”

The session will take place on Tuesday, April 14, 2015, at 6:00 pm at the Menlo Park Senior Citizen Center located at 100 Terminal Avenue.
