A plan to demolish the San Mateo Motel at 801 Bayshore Blvd. is moving closer to reality this week as the San Mateo Planning Commission holds a public hearing on an environmental impact report regarding construction of 21 townhomes at the site.
The property's owner wants to demolish the aging 33-unit residential motel and construct a new 21-unit townhouse development. The proposed project includes four separate buildings 29 to 30 feet in height with a total square footage of 42,159 square feet. All units will have tuck-under parking.
Fourteen of the 33 motel units were occupied and the developer is being asked by the city to provide three months free rent to help the tenants relocate.
A public hearing will be held 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 22 on the draft environmental impact report. The public comment period for the report ends April 4. The public hearing will take place at City Hall, 330 W. 20th Ave. A public hearing will also be held on the certification of the final EIR for the San Mateo Rail Corridor Transit Oriented Development Plan and the Bay Meadows Specific Plan Amendment. That document is needed before a planned development with 1.2 million square feet of office space and 1,200 housing units is constructed at Bay Meadows.
