Notice sent to The Ark newspaper and Marin Independent Journal for publication on April 12, 19,26 and May 3, 2017. c-� Town of Tiburon MEMORANDUM . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . TO: Mayor and Members of the Town Council FROM: Scott Anderson, Director of Community Developments' SUBJECT: Plan Bay Area 2040 Update DATE: April 3, 2017 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . BACKGROUND The draft Plan Bay Area 2040 update was released by MTC and ABAG on March 31, 2017 and they will be holding a series of Open Houses throughout the Bay Area in May in a public outreach effort. The Marin County Open House is scheduled for Saturday morning, May 20, at the Mill Valley Community Center (see attached schedule). The draft plan can be accessed at: http://2040.planbayarea.org This update of the Plan Bay Area has not generated the same level of public interest and controversy as the original version, in large part because it is not combined with the Regional Fair Share Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process this time around. As noted in earlier memos on this topic to the Town Council, the job and housing projection numbers for the Town of Tiburon appear reasonable. Jobs growth is projected at 50 for the time period 2010-2040, for a rate of less than 2 new jobs per year. Household growth is projected to be roughly 250 households, equating to about 180 dwelling units over the 30 year period. This housing unit projection is similar to estimates used by the Town based on its current General Plan and Zoning, assuming that many vacant lots, potential subdivisions, and some affordable housing projects are constructed prior to 2040. Staff finds the projections contained in the "preferred scenario" to be within an acceptable range. Marin County as a whole continues to be assigned only a tiny fraction of the Bay Area's job and housing growth, well below the amount that ordinary per capita-based allocations would yield. Attachment: Open House Schedule i Regional Advisory Working Group Attachment B March 28,2017 Agenda Item 2 Plan Bay Area 2040 Outreach Schedule After a multi-year planning effort, the Draft Plan Bay Area 2040 will be released for public review and comment on March 31, 2017. With this major milestone comes a round of public engagement, including nine open houses and three public hearings.
