The county presented a honed list of potential housing sites this week, gathering more public feedback as it attempts to meet state planning goals for the next eight years. The list of 82 properties in unincorporated Marin—the county’s penultimate effort at identifying development opportunities—continues to ruffle homeowners. But construction of the 4,100 units by 2031 is far from likely. “They’re not going to happen,” planning commissioner Don Dickenson said at a joint meeting with the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. “It’s like a buildout projection if everything in the county were developed. But it’s not going to happen within eight years.” Many meeting attendees were concerned about development near their homes, but some simply wondered whether the sites were buildable. In January, Marin hired a consultant to create a list it could use to meet a state-allocated goal for new housing in unincorporated areas, which it tried unsuccessfully to appeal last year. Last month, it narrowed the list to two alternatives, one favoring even geographic distribution, the other focusing on environmental risks like flooding and wildfire. The new list mixes the two, though for West Marin, it more closely resembles the distribution scenario, with 882 units in District 4. Several contested West Marin sites, including the Tamalpais Union High School District parcel near Woodacre, are off the table. Officials at the Inverness Public Utility District were relieved to find most of the 18 sites in Inverness removed after they raised concerns about coastal commission roadblocks and water system constraints. But a few questionable sites remain. The Green Barn in Point Reyes Station, selected to rezone for 24 low-income units, seems as far-fetched as the seven homes outlined for Balmoral Way in Inverness. “I’m not even slightly interested in building low-income housing,” said investor Robert Cort, who bought the historic barn last summer with his mother. M.I.G., the county’s consulting firm, said it picked the property because of the overgrown lot between the barn and the farm bureau building. Without demolishing the barn, the property could fit an apartment complex similar in size to the nearby Walnut Place senior living facility, M.I.G. project manager Jose Rodriguez said on Tuesday. But Mr. Cort was firm that he will leave the barn empty until he finds a compelling, “community-oriented” commercial use for it. “You’d imagine they’d at least call the owner before they went ahead and say, ‘Would you be interested in housing?’, he added. “I would have told them, ‘Absolutely not.’” Supervisor Dennis Rodoni asked county staff to remove the former San Geronimo Golf Course from the running, saying the owner, the Trust for Public Land, doesn’t plan to build housing there. He suggested three replacement sites in the valley—the Saint Cecilia Catholic Church in Lagunitas, a vacant lot next to the Forest Knolls trailer park and the county fire station in Woodacre, which could eventually be vacated. On April 12, supervisors will approve a final list that will undergo California Environmental Quality Act review. The programmatic environmental impact report for the housing list will be a major undertaking, and though it will likely leave more potential housing sites by the wayside, it will also answer many lingering questions. Planning commissioner Chris Dresser compared the process to a “three-dimensional chess game,” but stressed it would allow more opportunities for the public to speak. “I just wanted people to hear that this is not their last bite at the apple,” she said.
