The Corte Madera Planning Commission holds a public hearing on the draft environmental impact report for the Corte Madera Inn rebuild project at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Town Hall, 300 Tamalpais Drive. Reneson Hotels has proposed redeveloping the inn at 56 Madera Blvd. to create a new hotel with 187 rooms – 77 more rooms than the hotel has now. It would be dual-branded; SpringHill Suites by Marriott would have 79 traditional hotel rooms while Residence Inn would provide 108 rooms as extended-stay accommodations. As part of the proposal, the pond on the eastern edge of the property and the restaurant space, which is leased by the Best Lil’ Porkhouse, would be eliminated to make way for more rooms.
