Hotel Floor Area Bonus Ordinance
The Town of Corte Madera adopted Ordinance 995 on June 16, 2020 to amend the Zoning Ordinance, amending the permitted Floor Area Ratio for hotel uses in C-3, C-4, and MX Zoning Districts, through the creation of a Floor Area Bonus. The Ordinance established a framework for permitting a floor area and height bonus for hotel development on lots greater than one acre in size within the C-3, C-4, or MX zoning districts provided that specific conditions and criteria related to site planning and design, environmental sustainability, community integration, and the public realm are met. The bonus permits up to a maximum of .70 FAR where the existing maximum is .34 FAR. Staff reports, minutes and archived video from prior meetings are provided below.
