June 3, 2026 - Housing Commission

The City of Menlo Park Housing Commission held a meeting on June 3, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on recommending approval of a below-market rate (BMR) housing agreement with Park South 624 LLC for a 6-unit housing development at 624 University Drive. The project includes two deed-restricted affordable units to satisfy both city and state housing requirements, including SB330 replacement housing obligations. The Commission voted 4-0 to recommend the agreement to the Planning Commission. Additionally, the Commission reviewed and recommended the 2026-2027 Housing Commission Work Plan for City Council approval, with an amendment to increase community meetings at the Belhaven Community Campus from one to two. The meeting also established two ad hoc committees focused on housing development and anti-displacement efforts, selecting commissioners to serve on each. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were made, but the discussions centered on housing development policies and agreements that impact future procurement and development activities.
