A plan to demolish two homes and outbuildings on Casa Buena Drive in favor of 16 new townhouses is headed to the Corte Madera Town Council for approval.
The Planning Commission voted 4-0 Thursday night, with Commissioner Peter Schwartz absent, to support the project at 1421 and 1425 Casa Buena Drive after hearing a presentation from the developer, Larkspur-based Campus Properties company. It’s now up to the Town Council to determine whether the project is appropriate.
The 1.23-acre project site is currently home to two single-family homes, one of which is vacant and the other of which is being rented via a short-term lease. Miscellaneous out buildings also dot the property. Under the development plan, submitted by Campus Properties about a year ago, the existing buildings would be demolished and 16 attached townhouses would be built.
