The Marin County Planning Commission gave its unanimous recommendation Monday to approve a long-delayed housing project in Marinwood.

“After all this time I’m actually quite pleased with where we have come out,” Commissioner Don Dickenson said.

Known as The Oaks, the project as proposed would create an assisted-living center with 126 apartment units and a memory care facility. Seventy-five of the units are reserved as assisted living. Another 51 are for either assisted living or independent living. The remaining five are affordable housing units.

The Oaks project, as depicted in a design rendering, would occupy a 9-acre tract along southbound Highway 101 between Miller Creek Road and Lucas Valley Road. (County of Marin)

The project now goes before the Board of Supervisors for final approval.

The project site is a 9-acre vacant lot along the west side of Highway 101 between Lucas Valley Road and Marinwood Avenue in unincorporated San Rafael. The lot is owned by the Daphne Krestine Trust.

The Larkspur-based developer, Venture Senior Living LLC, proposes to construct two buildings — a 775,937-square-foot main building and a 25,853-square-foot memory care building — along with a subterranean parking garage.

This is a shift in the project layout from just two months ago.

At its Sept. 24 meeting, the commission called on Venture Senior Living to make several changes meant to reduce the overall size and to provide residents further screening from the nearby freeway.

Venture Corp. president Robert Eves told the commission Monday the company has developed an “absolutely terrific plan” to respond to the commission’s concerns. See full article HERE
