Marin County Government

ALERT: The Community Development Agency has been made aware that planning and building permit applicants are being targeted in a phishing scam. Applicants are receiving emails that appear to be from Community Development Director Sarah Jones stating that they owe an administrative fee, with an invoice attached. These emails are fake. The County of Marin will only request payment through ProjectDox notifications, County website application prompts, Permit Fee Payment forms, or personal check by mail/drop-off.

We will never request payment via wire transfer, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, or other payment apps. When in doubt, or if you receive a suspicious email like this, contact the CDA Permit Ombudsperson at [email protected] to verify before sending payment.

We appreciate the applicants who contacted us and made us aware of this issue.

After over a decade of planning and public input, a major mixed-use residential and community-serving development in Strawberry is scheduled for a public hearing and approvals at the next Board of Supervisors meeting.

On June 9, the board will make a final decision on the proposed redevelopment of the former Golden Gate Theological Seminary property. The 337-unit proposal from North Coast Land Holdings would include a mix of housing types including senior care, childcare facilities, continued educational use and preserved open space. 70% of the 101-acre site would be preserved as a recreational or open space. 70 units would be offered as below-market-rate housing at 80% of area median income ($168,100 for a household of four).

The meeting takes place at the Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, Suite 330 and is also available online.

Tras más de una década de planificación y consultas públicas, un importante proyecto de uso mixto, con fines residenciales y de servicio a la comunidad, en Strawberry se someterá a audiencia pública y a aprobación en la próxima reunión de la Junta de Supervisores.

El 9 de junio, la junta tomará una decisión definitiva sobre la propuesta de remodelación de los terrenos que anteriormente ocupaba el Seminario Teológico Golden Gate. La propuesta de 337 unidades de North Coast Land Holdings incluiría una combinación de tipos de vivienda, entre los que se incluyen residencias para personas mayores, guarderías, uso educativo continuado y espacios abiertos preservados. El 70 % del terreno de 101 acres se conservaría como espacio recreativo o abierto. Se ofrecerían 70 unidades como viviendas a un precio inferior al del mercado, al 80 % de la renta media de la zona (168 100 dólares para un hogar de cuatro personas).

La reunión tendrá lugar en el Centro Cívico del Condado de Marin, en San Rafael, sala 330, y también se podrá seguir en línea.
