Bolinas Community Land Trust CDP and TM (P5208)

The applicant requests Coastal Development Permit and Tentative Map approvals to subdivide a 10,268-square-foot mixed-use development and the 1.9-acre (83,131-square-foot) parcel on which it would be situated, to create a common interest development for an affordable housing project in the unincorporated community of Bolinas. The common interest development includes eight (8) affordable residential condominiums and one (1) commercial condominium. The residential condominiums would comprise 8,626 square feet of the mixed-use development and would include six (6) three-bedroom units and two (2) two-bedroom units. All of the residential condominiums would be affordable and therefore income-restricted, sold at prices affordable to households earning low to very low incomes—that is, households earning less than 80% of the adjusted Area Median Income (AMI). The one commercial condominium would comprise 1,639 square feet of the mixed-use development, and the Bolinas Community Land Trust (BCLT) intends to serve as the anchor tenant. The Marin County Board of Supervisors previously authorized the mixed-use development and affordable housing project (which includes the eight affordable residential units) through Resolution No. 2021-42, issued on June 8, 2021.

Coastal Development Permit approval is required pursuant to Section 20.68.030 of the Marin County Coastal Zoning Code because the project involves activities regulated by the Subdivision Map Act, which constitute a form of development that cannot be excluded or waived from the requirement to obtain such approval.

Tentative Map approval is required pursuant to Section 22.88.030 of the Marin County Development Code because the project involves the conversion of real property into a common interest development, as defined by Section 1351 of the California Civil Code.
