DIGest/, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF MARIN September 30, 2008 ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 3501 CIVIC CENTER DR., SUITE 329 SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA 94903-4193 TELEPHONE (415) 499-7331 FAX (415) 499-3645 ITY (415) 499-6172 www.co.marin.ca.uslbos Dear Fellow Elected Representatives, Weare writing to acknowledge that all of our local governments are making efforts to meet the challenge of climate change and prepare for implementation of AB32 legislative mandates, soon to be finalized by State and regional agencies. Under AB32, local governments are required to significantly reduce our current greenhouse gas emissions. While most of our agencies have already undertaken a number of positive actions to achieve the 30% reduction target, AB32 will require that substantially more be done. W-ith its significant promise of green house gas reduction, the Marin County Board of Supervisors stands ready to adopt Marin Clean Energy (MCE) and the formation of a Joint Powers Authority to carry out MCE and other energy initiatives. Accelerating the conversion of Marin's energy supply to renewable sources has been identified as having the single greatest potential benefit of all greenhouse gas reduction initiatives studied to date. For the past three years, representatives from local governments and special districts have worked closely together with industry experts to develop MCE. .MCE would implement a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program authorized by State legislation in 2002. During 2008, there have been numerous public workshops and informational sessions at the Board of Supervisors, council meetings, and in other venues to explore the potential benefits and risks associated with taking local control of energy supply decisions and the associated rate setting. We have reached a point where it is necessary to create a legal framework to permit further consideration ofMCE. Forming a JP A is a prerequisite for submittal of an application to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), as well as solicitation of proposals from interested third party energy suppliers. Both of these tasks are essential before a final decision can be reached whether or not to proceed with MCE. The ordinance you will consider authorizes each jurisdiction to launch the next steps in considering MCE and forming the Marin Energy Authority (the broader JP A for our energy initiatives). The draft JP A agreement to form the Marin Energy Authority is structured to allow for a broad array of activities that can help public agencies meet our AB32 obligations whether MCE is activated or not. Agencies that join the JP A will retain their full authority to decide whether to participate in the MCE program once energy provider contract bids have been received. These bids will give all of Marin a clear understanding of how much renewable power is truly available in the market and at what cost. The County of Marin has agreed to pay the costs required to set up and administer the Marin Energy Authority until a final decision is made, subject to reimbursement from the JP A should MCE go forward. Our Board believes that MCE is a viable policy option that can significantly increase Marin's percentage of renewable power. We also think that there is a mutual advantage for all of us to have a framework in place to facilitate our shared actions to comply with AB32. For these reasons, we strongly encourage your Council to join with us in adopting the attached ordinance and agreement that creates the Marin Energy Authority and continues our implementation of MCE.

STAFF BRIEFING Planning Manager Watrous reported Grover Wilson was appointed at last night's Town Council meeting to fill the vacancy on the Design Review Board, and he will begin at the next meeting.

Tiburon Court. The subject property is currently vacant. This application was first reviewed at the August 21, 2008 Design Review Board meeting. At that meeting, the owners of the adjacent home at 98 Mt. Tiburon Court raised objections to possible privacy impacts that would be caused by the location of the proposed swimming pool and the mass of the raised driveway. The Board found that the Mediterranean style of the proposed house was compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, but felt that the mass and bulk of the house needed to be reduced. The Board also encouraged the TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13 9/18/08 applicant to consider an alternative driveway design that would lessen the amount of fill and height of the retaining walls. The application was continued to the September 18, 2008 Design Review Board meeting to allow the applicant time to revise the plans to address these issues. The applicants have now submitted revised plans for the proposed house. Jack Backus, architect, outlined the changes made to the project based on the Board's recommendations. He presented a three-dimensional model of the project showing the steepness of the hill and the complexity of the house on the site and distributed photos from the building site and from the neighbor's property at 98 Mt. Tiburon Court. He said that they reduced the mass so that the house is not so close to that neighbor and have lowered the road by 4 feet at its highest point. To reduce the mass, they pushed the house back 6 feet and moved the pool back 10Y2 feet from the neighbor. He said that the floor area was similar but the overall mass appearance was very different from the last presentation to the DRB. He said that the stair tower at the northeast comer was lowered so that it does not project as far above the roofline. He added that as a result of lowering the road they were able to remove one retaining wall and the whole project fits into the hillside better than before. The public hearing was opened. Bruce Moody said that he wrote a letter before the last DRB meeting stating that he does not like the design of the house. He felt that the house is too large for the site. He said that he can see the elevator shaft on top of the building from his property and he thinks it is a "sore thumb" and superfluous. He suggested rotating the house slightly counter-clockwise to lessen the views into in the neighbor's house, and better yet, move the house into the rear setback line, thereby reducing the mass. He also commented on the "fake" stone look of the walls and suggested making the lines deeper so that the wall appears to be made of whole stones instead of lines on stucco. He recommended leaving soil around the retaining walls to allow planting to hide the walls. Therese Pouliot-Gloger said she received a letter from Mr. Bradley mentioning an easement that the prior owners had signed and her attorney is reviewing it. She said they have no objections to the style of the house but are very concerned about privacy. She said they feel the size of the driveway is massive, and the size of the house on that property is inappropriate. She would like to see some screening trees and a lowered driveway so that it would not look directly upon their property. She said that the location of the proposed pool is very close to their pool, and both pools would be looking onto each other. She characterized the neighborhood as a whole as very private, citing this as one reason why she moved to Mt. Tiburon. She was concerned that they will lose the feeling of privacy and openness if a 6,500 square foot home is built on the property. Evelyn Jaffe voiced concern about the impact of construction on the neighborhood. She requested that trucks be parked on the property itself and not on the cul-de-sac. She said that in the past she has had two accidents with construction vehicles parked on the cul-de-sac because of a blind spot when exiting her driveway. She also requested that construction workers clean up after themselves to avoid issues with garbage and raccoons. TffiURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13 9/18/08 2 Vernon Bradley, applicant, said they have done construction all over Tiburon and are adamant about cleaning up the site. He also agreed to park construction vehicles on the site and not on the cul-de-sac. Regarding the concerns of Ms. Pouliot-Gloger, he said that he has discussed the issue of appropriate replacement trees with Tiburon Fire District and has mailed wants many of the pine trees removed because they are a fire hazard. He said that the come in 42-inch containers and start at 15 feet high and if went those were planted he did not think the neighbors would be able to see the house. He said that the landscape plan does not include those additional trees. He suggested that the additional trees be planted in a staggered position prior to construction to create a green screen high enough so that the neighbors can retain their privacy during construction. Jack Backus addressed the suggestion to rotate the house, but noted that this may create issues with the slope. He said that it might help a little bit to rotate the house counter-clockwise, especially if helps to preserve the pine trees. He said they would have to rotate the house 15 degrees to get any substantial benefit, but that could cause other problems such as a very high retaining wall. Chair Doyle asked about the elevator enclosure on top of the house. Mr. Backus said it could be reduced in size if they used a different elevator design. Chair Doyle noted that because of the slope and shape of the lot, only half an acre of land is usable, but the house is sized for a one acre lot. Boardmember Chong asked if they can shift the house over instead of rotating it. Mr. Backus said it would be right on the setback if they did that. Boardmember Chong asked if the Fire District provided any insight as to why certain trees had to go. Mr. Backus said he thinks it was to break up the path of potential fires on the hillside. Chair Doyle acknowledged the tough situation as the pine tree right now provide a good screen but the Board has little to say about their removal for safety purposes. Planning Manager Watrous noted that the Board has the ability to specify replacement landscaping if the pine trees are removed. Chair Doyle questioned and confirmed that the area in front of the bedrooms is a planter area for shrubs, and he suggested breaking up the mass by planting a tree in that location. Mr. Backus said they could make areas adjacent to the building deeper to allow for tree-size plantings. The public hearing was closed. Boardmember Chong said he appreciated the extra money and effort put forward by the applicant to build the model and said that he was comfortable with the general design and the materials. He said that he visited the property at 98 Mt. Tiburon Court and his biggest concern is where the house is located on the lot because it is so close to the neighbors' home. He noted that in the broader neighborhood most of the houses are more separated from each other and he thought that shifting the proposed house away from the neighbors' home would help. He was unsure that a 15-foot tree would suffice, as the neighbors would still see the entire house above the trees. He said that there was more work to be done and thought shifting the house might make the Fire District more comfortable with leaving the pine trees. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13 9/18/08 3 Boardmember Tollini said that substantial work was done to address many of the Board's prior concerns. He said that he would like to see a different elevator to eliminate the elevator shaft on top of the house. He said that the current landscaping plan currently does not do much to shield the project from 98 Mt. Tiburon Court and the plan needs to be revised to reflect more substantial planting. He suggested planting trees in the area between the driveway turnout and the pool. Chair Doyle said that the design was a big improvement but the most important factor in this project is going to be the landscaping to help hide the house. He suggested thinning the lower branches of the pine trees and leaving the higher parts of the trees if the Fire District will accept that. He suggested that a variance could be granted to move the house over into the side yard setback to create more space between neighbors and room for trees. He said that he was unsure about the roof deck, but noted that the lot has little usable yard area. He said he was fine with the house design but wanted to see if there is a way to tuck it in a little. Boardmember Tollini said that rotating the house would address some privacy issues and said that he would like the applicant to explore moving the house. He said that it was still quite a massive house, although a lot of the structure is buried into the hillside, and he would like to make the house a little less imposing. Boardmember Chong stated that the size and style of the house was not a concern, but he wanted to avoid the felling that it sits right next to another home. Boardmember Chong questioned the variance process. Planning Manager Watrous said that staff would need to prepare an appropriate a notice for the variance. He said that the Board could not indicate tonight that it would approve a reduced setback, but it can encourage exploring requests where it helps to resolve design issues. It was the consensus of the Board that the following specific issues should be explored and addressed: ~ An elevator design that reduces the size of the roof structure; ~ A revised landscaping plan that includes location and type of trees to increase the neighbors' privacy, including landscaping along the driveway; and ~ The possibility of a variance to move the house further from the neighbors' house.

DIRJ;CTOR MARIN COUNTY NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING RECEIVED SEP 3 0 200B MARIN COUNTY DEVELOPMENT CODE (TITLE 22) AND INTERIM DEVELOPMENT CODE (TITLE 221) TEXT AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE TOWN OF TlBURON NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Marin County Board of Supervisors will conduct a public hearing to consider County-initiated proposed text and zoning map amendments to the Marin County Development Code (Title 22) and the Interim Development Code (Title 221) intended to reclassify those parcels within the unincorporated areas of San Rafael and Mill Valley currently governed by the historic C-2 (General Commercial Districts), the M-1 (Light Industrial Districts) and the M-2 (Heavy Industrial Districts) zoning districts and the -H (Highway) Combining District and rezone parcels currently governed by these zoning districts to the governing RMPC (Residential/Commercial Multiple, Planned District) zoning district and the governing IP (Industrial, Planned) zoning district, respectively. The project also includes the reclassification of: (a) Assessor's Parcel 030-351-11 in the unincorporated area Mill Valley from R3-G4 (Multiple Residence District, minimum of 3,500 square feet per unit, or 12.45 units/acre maximum density) to the RMP-12.45 (Residential, Multiple-family, Planned District, 12.45 units/acre maximum density) zoning district; and (b) the eastern portion of Assessor's Parcel 013- 162-22 located in the unincorporated area of San Rafael from R3-G1 (Multiple Residence District, minimum 1,500 square feet per unit, or 29.04 units per acre maximum density) zoning district to the RMP-29.04 (Residential, Multiple-family, Planned District, 29.04 units/acre maximum density) zoning district. The proposed zoning districts reflect the allowed uses and development standards of the current 2003 Development Code and would be consistent with the relevant governing Countywide Plan (CWP) land use designation of each parcel. The proposed project intends to eliminate Chapters 22.341, 22.361, 22.381, and 22.421 of the Interim Development Code (Title 221). The Marin County Environmental Coordinator has determined that this project qualifies for a Notice of Determination and that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to Section 1516~ of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines because the proposed text and zoning map amendments to the 2003 Development Code (Title 22) and the Interim Development Code (Title 221) are consistent with, and within the scope of, the Marin County Development Code Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (FSEIR), certified by the Board of Supervisors in 2003 (Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 2003-89). The FSEIR anticipated the text and zoning map amendments and zoning reclassifications, which are the subject of this project. NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that said public hearing will be held at the regular meeting of the Marin County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, October 7, 2008, in the Board of Supervisors Chambers (Room #330 - Administration Building), 3501 Civic Center Drive, San Rafael, California, at the hour of 11 :00 AM., at which time any interested party may appear and be heard. A copy of the staff report with the proposed Development Code text and zoning map amendments may be obtained on the Friday before the scheduled meeting from the Marin County Community Development Agency Planning Division, 3501 Civic Center Drive, Room 308, San Rafael, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), by calling 499-6269, or by visiting our website at htto:/lwww.co.marin.ca.us/efiles/BS/AaMn/cvbaanda.htm. Written material for the Board of Supervisors should be submitted to the Community Development Agency at least 10 days prior to the meeting date so that it can be distributed and considered by the Board of Supervisors with the staff report. Any written material submitted after this date will be distributed to the Board of Supervisors prior to or at the meeting. NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that if you challenge the action on this project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Community Development Agency - Planning Division at, or prior to. the public hearing.

WHA T: The Marin County Planning Commission will hold public hearing(s) to consider recommending the Board of Supervisors adopt technical and clerical corrections to certain Marin Countywide Plan (CWP) policies and maps to correct and improve their readability and clarity. The technical corrections range from out of sequence program numbering and grammatical mistakes to minor text revisions to provide additional clarification and consistent use of terminology regarding the lowest end of the Countywide Plan density range for land use designations. Another amendment calls for incorporating the Marin County Operational Area Hazard Mitigation Plan by reference into the CWP's Environmental Hazards element. In addition, amendments to the Nicasio Land Use Policy Map 7.9, Tamalpais Land Use Policy Map 6.2.1, and the Baylands Corridor Maps 2.5a and b are proposed. A revision to Map 7.9 is needed to change a land use designation incorrectly applied to a parcel, from PF -AG 1 to AG 1, while Map 6.2.1 is updated to reflect annexation of land to the City of Mill Valley. Minor changes to the location of the Baylands Corridor boundary are proposed at the San Rafael Rock Quarry and San Quentin State Prison sites to more accurately reflect existing physical conditions. WHERE: The public hearing(s) will be held in the Planning Commission Chambers (Room #328 - Administration Building), Civic Center, San Rafael, California. WHEN: Monday, October 13, 2008 at 1 :00 p.m. * Monday, October 27,2008 at 10:00 a.m. (ifneeded)* *Please note the proposed times are estimates only and may be subject to change. Specific times will be set for each continued hearing as revised and confirmed at each previous hearing. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Please VISIt our website at http://www.co.marin.ca.us/deptslbs/members/mcbdslBrdpage.cfm?BrdID=62 in order to be informed of the place on the agenda and the approximate time of the hearing or to obtain a copy of the staff report, or call the Community Development Agency - Planning Division at (415) 499-6269 on or after Monday, October 6,2008. Written material should not be mailed or delivered directly to Commissioners because it will not be accepted or considered as part of the administrative record for the project. Written material for the Planning Commission should be submitted to the .Community Development Agency at least 10 days prior to the meeting date so that it can be distributed and considered by the Planning Commission with the staff report. Any written material submitted after this date will be distributed to the Planning Commission prior to or at the meeting. Prior to considering their recommendation on the merits of the CWP amendments, the Planning Commission will consider their recommendaLon to the Board of Supervisors for adoption of an addendum to the 2007 certified Marin Countywide Plan Final Environmental Impact Report pursuant to sections 15162 and 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Addendum finds that the proposed CWP Amendments comprise minor and technical changes to the CWP Policies evaluated in the Certified Final Environmental Impact Report (ErR) and that no new or more severe impacts not addressed in the Final EIR would result from the adoption of the CWP Amendments. If you challenge the decision of this project in court you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Community Development Agency - Planning Division at, or prior to the public hearing.
