NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Corte Madera Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to review information for consideration of a proposed redevelopment of the Budget Inn site located at 706 Meadowsweet Drive. The proposed project requires a Conditional Use Permit, Major Design Review, and Sign Permit approval for construction of “The Evergreen” motel. The project includes the demolition of all existing buildings, parking areas and landscaping and the construction of three new buildings containing 22 motel guest rooms, a manager’s office, a lobby and utility areas. The remainder of the site will have 22 parking spaces, an outdoor terrace, pedestrian walkways, bike racks and landscaping. The motel would include new vehicular access from Meadowsweet Dr. and the access from Casa Buena will be removed. The project also includes two illuminated wall signs each approximately 10’x2’, one on the south elevation in front to the office facing Meadowsweet, and the other on the west elevation. The proposed project complies with all development standards for the C-3 Highway Commercial Zoning District.
The Planning Department recommends that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Categorical Exemption Class 3 (CEQA Article 19, Section 15303(c)).
