Planning commission unanimously approves use permit for first‑floor work at 503 O'Keefe Street
Summary
The Menlo Park Planning Commission approved a use permit for interior and exterior renovations at 503 O'Keefe Street and determined the project qualified for a CEQA Class 1 exemption; no public comment was received and the approval was unanimous.
The Menlo Park Planning Commission unanimously approved a staff‑recommended resolution on June 22 to grant a use permit for first‑floor additions and interior/exterior renovations at 503 O’Keefe Street. Staff advised the project would exceed 75% of replacement value and that it was categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 for existing facilities.
Staff member Matthew Ball told the commission he had no updates to the report and was available for questions; the applicant (Heather Young) was identified in the staff report but did not speak. Commissioner Ferrick moved approval, calling the plan “imminently reasonable,” and Commissioner Cillian seconded. The roll call vote was 5–0 in favor with two members absent. The commission closed the item after the vote.
