240 Tamal Vista Blvd | MEHC Says YES

This project provides 99 units of 100% affordable multifamily housing. This project was approved by the Corte Madera Planning Commission by a 3-2 vote on April 22, 2025. An appeal of the approval was denied by the Town Council on May 14.

In July 2024, the developers of this project submitted a SB 330 preliminary housing application for 240 affordable, senior housing units. The project did not qualify for unlimited density since the project site was determined to be more than 0.5 miles from a major transit stop as defined in state law.

On November 12, 2024, the applicant submitted a revised application for 99 deed-restricted affordable family units (primarily 3-bedroom units with several 4-bedroom units). The project mass and scale has not changed from the original design (6-stories, 72 feet in height). It includes 163 parking spaces. The ground floor includes a parking garage, lobby, leasing office, amenity space, and additional ancillary uses. There are only 37 bike spaces. MEHC advocates for more bike parking in this family friendly spot. The second floor includes a parking garage with a handful of residential units on the eastern side of the building facing Tamal Vista Boulevard. Floors three through six include residential units, which are a mix of 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom units that range in size from 1,080 square feet to 1,330 square feet. The applicant is requesting a variety of concessions and waivers (including height), which is allowed under state density bonus law.
