Document Description
The City of Menlo Park has developed the Menlo Park Camino Real/Downtown Specific Plan ("Specific Plan" or "Plan") to establish a framework for private and public improvements in the Plan area for the next 30 years. The Specific Plan addresses approximately 130 acres and focuses on the character and density of private infill development, the character and extent of enhanced public spaces, and circulation and connectivity improvements. The primary goal of the Specific Plan is to "enhance the community life, character and vitality through mixed use infill projects sensitive to the small-town character of Menlo Park, and expanded public realm, and improved connection across El Camino Real." The Specific Plan includes objectives, policies, development standards, and design guidelines intended to guide new private development and public space and transportation improvements in the Specific Plan area over the next 30 years. The Plan builds upon the El Camino Real/Downtown Vision Plan that was unanimously accepted by the Menlo Park City Council on July 15, 2008. The Specific Plan does not propose specific private developments, but establishes a maximum development capacity of 474,000 square feet of non-residential development, inclusive of retail, hotel, and commercial development, and 680 new residential units, resulting in an estimated 1,357 new jobs and 1,537 new residents.
