Planning Commission

The Town of Corte Madera’s Planning Commission is a five member body that oversees the Town’s planning process. Three members are appointed to two-year terms that expire on June 30^th of even years. Two members are appointed to two-year terms that expire on June 30^th of odd years. Much of the Commission’s time is devoted to reviewing permit applications for home remodels and additions. The Commission works to balance the needs of individual families for more living space with the need to protect neighborhood character. The Planning Commission also works on longer range issues.  The Planning Commission meets on the 2^nd and 4^th Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m., with occasional study sessions scheduled as needed.
