LCP finalized, minus policies on hazards

Jump to navigation By  07/21/2021 Marin County’s updated Local Coastal Program will go into effect within a month, following a vote by the Board of Supervisors last Tuesday to approve the final document. Yet the update, which will guide development in the coastal zone in compliance with the California Coastal Act, excludes the chapter on environmental hazards policy, upsetting some groups that are eager to see new guidelines on threats like sea-level rise and wildfire. The hazards chapter was last updated in 1982; now, the county has until next spring to finalize it.  At a hearing last Tuesday, supervisors accepted the staff recommendation presented by Jack Liebster, a planning manager with the Community Development Agency who has led the update process over the past 13 years.

He said he doesn’t have a clear plan for what to do within the next three months. “I really didn’t think it would come to this,” he said. “I thought the judge would be creative enough to come up with a better solution.” 

Supervisors deny Bolinas affordable housing appeal

Roland Crotts, who owns the property next to the proposed eight-unit development, contested many parts of the project, including its size, parking and impact on water and sewers. His most prominent concern was that the project would eliminate two-way access to the driveway between the two properties, which he says his family has used for 80 years. The land trust plans to convert the driveway, which is on its property, into an exit only and connect it to a second driveway next to Smiley’s to use as an entrance. Mr. Crotts said driving up to Smiley’s and looping around through the complex is not something he wants to do. “And I certainly don’t want to have to ask my tenants to be doing that,” he said. At the hearing on Tuesday, the vast majority of commen
