St. Vincent's and housing plans on county's agenda
Staff Report

Future development of St. Vincent's School for Boys and Silveira Ranch, and neighborhood opposition to the designation of affordable housing sites in Tamalpais Valley and Kentfield top the Marin Board of Supervisors agenda Tuesday.

The supervisors will continue their public hearings on the draft countywide plan, a blueprint for guiding Marin's growth over the next 30 years.

The board's hearing will start at 1:30 p.m. in Room 330 at the county Civic Center in San Rafael.

Supervisors have been flooded with letters and petitions from Tam Valley and Kentfield residents wanting to make sure that no local sites are designated for large-scale affordable housing projects.

Other proposed housing sites - the Marinwood shopping center, Gallinas School in Santa Venetia, Oak Manor in Fairfax, California Park in San Rafael, the Gateway shopping center in Marin City and the Strawberry Village shopping center - have not generated public protests.

On the 1,230 acres of the St. Vincent's and Silveira lands, supervisors will review the county Planning Commission's recommendation that future development be limited to about 221 homes, 100 of which would be affordable.

and a senior citizen village that would include 360 apartments, 132 cottages and a small complex for assisted-living units and nursing care.
