Planning Commission study session on revised Parkline project Sept. 14

Published on September 08, 2026

At its Sept. 14 meeting at 7 p.m., the Planning Commission will hold a study session for revisions to the previously approved Parkline masterplan development project located at 201, 301 and 333 Ravenswood Ave. and 555 and 565 Middlefield Road.

The proposed revisions include:

• An increase in the number of housing units from 800 to 1,082 units
• Consolidation of the office/research and development (R&D) footprint
• Reduction in the non-residential square footage to approximately 902,000 square feet of office/R&D uses
• Addition of an approximately 40,000-square-foot retail village
• An increase in the office/R&D building heights
• Modification of the design standards and guidelines
• Redesign of the site layout

The proposed revised project also includes modifications to the below market rate (BMR) guidelines to locate all for-sale BMR units in the attached townhome component and to the definition of gross floor area as applied to the project.

More information and the project plans are available on the City-maintained Parkline Phase 2 project page at menlopark.gov/parkline_phase2.

The Sept. 14 study session provides an opportunity for the community and Planning Commission to learn more about the proposed revised master plan, ask clarifying questions and provide comments for the applicant and staff to consider. The staff report will be available on the agenda webpage no later than 72 hours before the meeting.
