Resumen
Project Description
North Coast Land Holdings, LLC has submitted an application for development on the former Golden Gate Baptist Seminary property on the Strawberry Peninsula in Mill Valley. The proposed project includes construction of a new residential care facility with up to 100 independent and 50 assisted living and memory care apartments for senior citizens and 336 single- and multi-family residential units that would replace a majority of the existing residential housing. Fifty of the proposed residential units would be reserved as below market rate housing. In addition, a pre-school (3,000 square feet) and fitness center (17,000 square feet) that would both be open to the public are proposed, and an existing maintenance building would be replaced. More than 70 percent of the 127-acre campus would be preserved as open space, athletic fields, paths and plazas. No change to the scope of the existing use permit allowing up to a maximum of 1,000 students for higher educational use is being proposed. A 15,800 square foot addition is proposed as part of the renovation of the Administration Building, resulting in a 41,000 square foot building.

Notice of Availability
The Marin County Community Development Agency has completed the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the North Coast Land Holdings, LLC. Project, which includes a Response to Comments document for comments received on the Draft EIR. The Final EIR is available for review below in the "Environmental Review Documents" section near the bottom of this webpage. The Draft EIR is also linked below in the "Environmental Review Documents" section of this webpage. Clarifying revisions were made to the Draft EIR prior to finalization; the revisions are included in the Final EIR and did not trigger recirculation of the Draft EIR. The 60-day public comment period on the adequacy of the Draft EIR began on July 16, 2024 and ended on September 16, 2024. During that period, a public hearing was conducted by the Marin County Planning Commission on September 9, 2024 where additional oral and written comments were received.
The Final EIR was available for a 45-day public review period, beginning on Friday, December 12, 2025 and ending on Monday, January 26, 2026, as a courtesy to allow interested parties additional time to review and understand responses provided in the Final EIR prior to consideration of the Final EIR for certification. Following the close of the public review period, a Final EIR Amendment was prepared to present comments received on the Final EIR and responses to select comments that presented new environmental topics not previously raised on the Draft EIR and addressed in the Final EIR. The First Final EIR Amendment is linked below in the "Environmental Review Documents" section of this webpage.
The Final EIR was considered by the Planning Commission at hearings on March 2, 2026 and March 30, 2026, wherein the Planning Commission recommended the Board of Supervisors certify the Final EIR for the project. During this process, a Second Final EIR Amendment was prepared to cover the subsequent Environmental Settlement Agreement (ESA) that was settled on March 1, 2026 between the project applicant and the Seminary Neighborhood Association. The Second Final EIR Amendment is linked below in the "Environmental Review Documents" section of this webpage.
The Final EIR will be considered by the Marin County Board of Supervisors at a hearing on June 9, 2026. Please review the relevant notice included below in the “Public Notice” section for further details about the public hearing and please check the Board of Supervisors' webpage for updates about the agenda, the time of the hearing, and other details about the public hearing.
