Former Menlo Park Mayor Leads Coalition Against City Reviews

Menlo Park, CA -- A former Menlo Park mayor is leading an effort against the city review process on developments.

Steve Schmidt, who served on the City Council from 1994 to 2002, is a member of the Voters for Equitable & Responsible Growth , a group of people who are concerned about the city review process, according to The Mercury News.

Schmidt told the newspaper the group formed after "the city reviewed a Facebook expansion project and the General Plan update at the same time."

"The coalition is concerned that neither the review of Facebook's expansion nor the review of the General Plan adequately addresses displacement of Belle Haven residents or traffic congestion," wrote the newspaper.
