State Approves Marin Housing Density Plan Just In Time for Key Transit Funds

The State of California has certified the Marin Board of Supervisors’ latest housing plan, which outlines up to 30 units per acre of land along Highway 101. This key approval means the county can keep $3.7 million in transportation funds allocated to the unincorporated areas of the county, with more funds possible down the line. The housing density of 30 units per acre is a product of prior opposition from the state, declining approval for plans with less than 30 acres. Additionally, much of the land was already zoned for 30 units prior to this new density plan.
