WHEREAS, the Ring Mountain Advisory Committee Plan is in substantial agree-
ment with the Strawberry Area Plan, and both in turn comport to the Countywide
Plan; and

fication providing for not less than .2 nor more than 1 dwelling unit per gross
acre (i.e. 1 unit per 1 acre to 1 unit per 5 acres); and
WHEREAS, Corte Madera's Town Council has endorsed the concepts of the
Ring Mountain Advisory Committee; and
WHEREAS, the Ring Mountain Area lying southeasterly of the crest of the
Ridge lies in Tiburon's sphere of influence; and the part to the north is in
Corte Madera's sphere of influence; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has now asked the County Planning Com-
mission to review the Strawberry Area Plan and the Ring Mountain Plan with a
view toward "splitting off" the Ring Mountain Area;
IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the City of Tiburon urge both the Marin County
Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors not to split up the Strawberry
Area Plan or bifurcate any portion of the Ring Mountain Planning Area, but to
retain and consider the Strawberry Plan as an integrated whole; and

Plans be acted upon favorably by the Board of Supervisors.
