Until recently, few if any property owners in the county had capitalized on Senate Bill 9. That appears to be changing.
Marin homeowners are beginning to take advantage of a new state law that allows them to to split their parcel and build up to four homes on the lot.
Marin County approved its first SB 9 project at the end of January and is reviewing a second application. Novato has received its first applications, for 560 Trumbull Ave. and 98 Robinhood Drive. Ross has received an application for 1 Ridgeview Drive. Mill Valley recently rejected an application that didn’t qualify and is evaluating another preliminary application for 415 Rose Ave.
Regarding the lot split at 47 Skyline Terrace, Andrea Montalbano, a county planning commissioner who used to be on the Tamalpais Design Review Board, said, “Lot splits like these could be very problematic for everyone because of the steepness of the slope and the creation of a high amount of impermeable surfaces.”
“We do have some parcels where, for the first time, someone is able to split them using the provisions of SB 9,” said Martha Battaglia, a Corte Madera planner. “I think that may be part of it.”
