Two key dates are set regarding a proposal by John Beltramo to build a 26,800-square-foot, two-story office building and 16 two-story townhouses on El Camino Real near Glenwood Avenue in Menlo Park.
Public comment on the final environmental impact report (EIR) will be taken until April 5, and the Planning Commission plans to hold a public hearing on the proposal on April 10.
The public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the council chambers at the Civic Center, between Laurel and Alma streets.
The proposed office building would face El Camino Real, and the townhouses would face San Antonio Street.
The EIR is available for review at the main library and at the Community Development Department at the Civic Center.

Bring a shovel
If you’re looking for compost, Bayfront Park is the place to go.On Saturday, April 1, starting at 9 a.m., there will be piles of free compost and mulch just inside the entrance to the park, near the intersection of Bayfront Expressway and Marsh Road.
The material comes from recycled residential yard trimmings, and is being deposited by Allied Waste.
Residents need their own shovels and containers, and in the case of heavy rain, the event will be postponed one week.
