Summary
Project Description
North Coast Land Holdings, LLC has submitted an application for development on the former Golden Gate Baptist Seminary property on the Strawberry Peninsula in Mill Valley. The proposed project includes construction of a new residential care facility with up to 100 independent and 50 assisted living and memory care apartments for senior citizens and 336 single- and multi-family residential units that would replace a majority of the existing residential housing. Fifty of the proposed residential units would be reserved as below market rate housing. In addition, a pre-school (3,000 square feet) and fitness center (17,000 square feet) that would both be open to the public are proposed, and an existing maintenance building would be replaced. More than 70 percent of the 127-acre campus would be preserved as open space, athletic fields, paths and plazas. No change to the scope of the existing use permit allowing up to a maximum of 1,000 students for higher educational use is being proposed. A 15,800 square foot addition is proposed as part of the renovation of the Administration Building, resulting in a 41,000 square foot building.
