Summary
Project Description
The proposed Project would involve demolition and removal of the existing buildings and development of 36 residences. To achieve this, the Project applicant is requesting a Vesting Tentative Map and Tree Removal Permit to subdivide two existing parcels into individual residential lots. The Vesting Tentative Map application would subdivide the approximately 6-acre site into 36 residential parcels, two parcels designated as open space, two parcels reserved for private roadways, and a parcel for drainage easements and bio-retention areas. The Project would require the removal 51 trees, including trees classified as “protected” and “heritage” per the Marin County Code Section 22.62.020. The Project would restore portions of the existing intermittent creek and corresponding riparian woodland to improve its function as a creek corridor. The project plan is currently presented at a tentative map level of detail. Following tentative map approval, the applicant would prepare detailed Project designs for design review by the County.

The Marin County Community Development Agency has completed a consistency assessment for the Metropolis North San Pedro Road, LP Tentative Map Project pursuant to Section 15183 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
Pursuant to Section 15183(c) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the consistency analysis evaluates whether the Project would result in significant impacts that are peculiar to the Project or Project site. If any impacts could not be substantially mitigated with uniformly applied development policies or standards, or if the Project would result in off-site or cumulative impacts that were not previously evaluated in the 2007 Marin Countywide Plan EIR as modified by the 2023 Housing and Safety Element Update EIR, then additional environmental review would be required for the project.
The Section 15183 consistency assessment is linked below in the "Environmental Review Documents" section near the bottom of this webpage. The assessment will be considered by the Marin County Planning Commission during their regular meeting on Monday, December 14, 2026 in the Board of Supervisors Chambers at the Marin County Civic Center at 3501 Civic Center Drive, Room 328 (Administration Building), San Rafael, California, at which time all persons interested in this matter may appear and be heard.
