These are early, unofficial returns from NBC Bay Area's San Mateo County results page, checked against ABC7's results page. Where the two differ, the gap may reflect update timing.
Results
Measure P (Menlo Park Citizen Initiative to Amend Municipal Code): Yes 47.77% (3,474), No 52.23% (3,799) on NBC Bay Area. ABC7 shows Yes 48% (3,474), No 52% (3,799).
Measure CC (East Palo Alto Term Limits): Yes 67.13% (1,777), No 32.87% (870) on NBC Bay Area. ABC7 shows Yes 67% (1,777), No 33% (870).
Measure I (Half Moon Bay Coastal Land Use): Yes 65.13% (1,941), No 34.87% (1,039) on NBC Bay Area. ABC7 shows Yes 65% (1,941), No 35% (1,039).
All results are unofficial election-night and early-morning counts as of Wednesday, Nov. 4. Counties keep counting mail and provisional ballots for days, and certification comes later, so margins can shift, especially in close contests.

Four days before the election, California's Department of Housing and Community Development told Menlo Park it will have to amend its certified housing plan if Measure P passes. The measure would require a public vote for major changes to eight downtown parking lots, three of which are planned for at least 345 affordable homes.
Measure I doesn't raise or lower Half Moon Bay's housing cap. It changes which neighborhoods count as 'downtown' under the city's 1999 growth-control law.
Housing advocates and tech workers are funding the fight against Menlo Park’s Measure P, while downtown property owners and Draeger’s are lending money to the Yes campaign.
