The San Rafael Planning Commission has approved a plan to build 45 condominiums on a property that borders Highway 101 in Terra Linda.

The commission voted unanimously on Tuesday to recommend that the City Council approve the development at 350 Merrydale Road, which is south of the Northgate mall. The complex would include 41 three-story townhouses and four two-story condominiums on the 2.3-acre site. Each of the units would be offered for sale.

Plans call for demolishing three one-story buildings that were once used by a school. A portion of the site is currently leased by Marin Ventures, a center for adults with disabilities. The site would need to be rezoned for residential use from its current designation as a daycare center.

“It just makes sense to change the land use to match what’s in the adjacent area, the other high-density residential zoning,” said Commissioner Jeff Schoppert.
