Supervisors Susan Adams asks planning staff to study withdrawal of Marinwood Priority Development Area

Get Microsoft Silverlight


Marin County Supervisor Kate Sears and Susan Adams ask Planning Director Brian Crawford to examine the effects of withdrawing Tam Almonte, and Marinwood Priority Development Areas from the Plan Bay Area.  It may mean loss of transportation revenue for projects such as a bike path in Southern Marin.

Supervisor Adams startled the audience by showing a map of the Marinwood Priority Development Area available for years on the Association of Bay Area Governments Website here:

Susan Adams has served on Association of Bay Area Goverments (ABAG) for 9 years including 1 1/2 years as a Vice President and advocated for the Marinwood Priority Development Area for urbanization.  Marinwood is considered a "Transit Neighborhood" and is targeted to have an additional 1500 to 4000 to the estimated 350 homes we have now.  It is expected that the once Marinwood Village is built,  home sites east of Las Gallinas will upzoned from 30-50 units per acre.  These are three to five story apartment buildings.  Areas west of Las Gallinas will have 20 units per acre designation.

We certainly hope that Supervisor Adams will remove the Marinwood Priority Development Area designation and fight to retain local planning control for the people.
