The review authority may approve a Design Review, with or without conditions, only if all of the following findings are made:

1.

All mandatory findings contained in Section 22.42.060 (Design Review - Decision and Findings) can be made.

2.

For an Eichler-design residence, the proposed development and improvements retain and preserve the classic architectural design elements and design concepts including, but not necessarily limited to: Retention of the simple, rectilinear style, form, and facades; respect of the post-and-beam detailing; window and door details; roof slopes; exterior finishes and colors; scale and proportions; transition of spaces; entry courtyards; atrium features; and deep roof overhangs.

3.

The over-all residential development preserves, and is compatible with, the existing character and quality of the prevailing single-family residential neighborhood.

4.

The proposed development utilizes exterior building materials, surfaces, and colors consisting of natural and non-reflective materials and colors that blend into the natural environment unobtrusively. Exterior materials and colors on Eichler-design residences are consistent with the classic Eichler exterior characteristics and finishes.

5.

The landscaping design utilizes fire resistance, erosion control, and drought-tolerant species, provides visual buffering for privacy, and upon maturity will not obscure the major views of the off-site vistas as seen from public streets. The landscaping design utilizes landscaping material that blends and is consistent with the prevailing neighborhood design characteristics.

6.

Siting of additions preserves privacy and views between neighboring residences.

F.

Exemptions from Design Review. The following developments and physical improvements are exempt from Design Review:

(Ord. No. 3577, 2012)

A.

Applicability. The standards of this Section apply to development and land use within the area identified as San Geronimo Valley in the Countywide Plan (San Geronimo Valley Land Use Policy Map 7.10.0) and the governing SGV (San Geronimo Valley) combining district.

B.

General Development Standards. The standards of this Subsection apply to development and land use outside the Countywide Plan Stream Conservation Area in the governing SGV (San Geronimo Valley) combining district.

1.

Roads and Driveways. Non-county maintained roads and privately owned and maintained roads, including new roads and driveways, either paved or unpaved, shall be constructed to the standards specified below:

a.

Surface drainage.

1)

Road surfaces and ditches are hydrologically "disconnected" from streams and stream crossing culverts, with a maximum allowable hydrologic connectivity of 25% of the total new road surface and compacted shoulder area (paved and unpaved). To be considered disconnected, road surface runoff is dispersed, rather than collected and concentrated, and does not return to a connected ditch farther downstream.

2)

Fine sediment contributions from roads, cutbanks and ditches are minimized by utilizing seasonal closures and installing a variety of surface drainage techniques including berm removal, road surface shaping (i.e., outsloping, insloping, crowning), rolling dips, ditch relief culverts, waterbars and other measures to disperse road surface runoff and reduce or eliminate sediment delivery to the stream.

b.

Road fills.

1)

Unstable and potentially unstable road fills that could deliver sediment to a stream are excavated (removed) or structurally stabilized.

2)

Excavated spoil is placed in locations where eroded material will not enter a stream.

Excavated spoil is placed where it will not cause a slope failure or landslide.

c.

Off-site retrofits. If on-site avoidance or minimization of surface runoff and sediment erosion is not feasible using the above criteria, off-site retrofit of existing impaired sites (e.g. stream crossings currently diverted or with diversion potential, culverts likely to plug or undersized culverts), would occur at a 2:1 ratio for total runoff area in a functionally equivalent riparian area of San Geronimo Creek or its major tributaries (North Fork San Geronimo Creek, Woodacre Creek. Montezuma Creek, Arroyo/Barranca/EI Cerrito Complex, Larsen Creek) within reaches accessible to anadromous salmonids. If functionally equivalent off-site mitigation opportunities cannot be identified within these locations, then opportunities can be selected elsewhere in San Geronimo Valley and/or in the downstream Lagunitas Creek watershed using existing sitespecific sediment source assessments.

2.

Low Impact Development. Development outside the Stream Conservation Area that would create or replace 500 square feet or more of lot coverage shall incorporate low impact development practices and designs that are demonstrated to prevent offsite discharge from events up to the 85[th ] percentile 24-hour rainfall event. This requirement applies to retention of the entire volume, of each day's rainfall that does not achieve this total volume, and the first increment of rain up to this volume for those 24-hour periods whose rainfall exceeds this volume, Specifically:

a.

Complete a stormwater control plan that achieves retention of the 85th percentile, 24-hour design storm for the newly created or replaced impervious surface, or for an equivalent area of previously unretained impervious surface on the same site. It is acceptable for the stormwater control plan to use the existing runoff reduction measures as described in Appendix C of the Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies Association (BASMAA) Post-Construction Manual to retain the 85 th percentile, 24-hour design storm standard. It is also acceptable to use the bioretention sizing factor (0.04) described in Appendix D of the BASMAA Post-Construction Manual to retain the 85[th ] percentile, 24-hour design storm standard.

b.

Complete a storm water control plan that achieves retention of the 85[th ] percentile, 24-hour design storm for the newly created or replaced impervious surface, or for all equivalent area of previously unretained impervious surface on the same site it is acceptable for the stormwater control plan to use the bioretention sizing factor (0.04) described in appendix D of the BASMAA Post-Construction Manual to retain the 85[th] percentile, 24-hour design storm standard.

C.

General Stream Conservation Area Standards. The standards of this Subsection apply to development and land uses within Stream Conservation Areas in the governing SGV (San Geronimo Valley) combining district.

1.

Site Assessment. A site assessment is required as part of a Site Plan Review permit application when development is proposed in the Stream Conservation Area, where adverse impacts to riparian resources may occur, or when full compliance with Subsection 2. below, would not be met. The site assessment shall identify site specific standard management practices in accordance with Subsection 5. below, and shall confirm that the proposed development would result in no net loss of habitat acreage, value, or function.

2.

Limitations on Uses. Allowable land uses subject to the SGV combining district and located within the Stream Conservation Area shall be limited to the following:

a.

Allowable uses within 35-feet from top of bank, or from centerline of swale for ephemeral streams where there is no defined top of bank, within the Stream Conservation Area:

1)

Maintenance and repair of existing permitted structures within the existing footprint;

2)

Driveway, road, and utility crossings, if no other location that avoids encroaching in the buffer is feasible and the crossing is sited to minimize environmental impacts;

3)

Projects to improve fish and wildlife habitat;

4)

Water-monitoring installations;

5)

Passive recreation that does not disturb native species; and

6)

Necessary water supply and flood control projects that minimize impacts to stream function and to fish and wildlife habitat.

b.

Allowable uses outside 35-feet from top of bank, or from centerline of swale for ephemeral streams where there is no defined top of bank, within the Stream Conservation Area:

Maintenance and repair of existing permitted structures;

2)

Additions to existing permitted structures that do not:

a.

Increase the lot coverage within the Stream Conservation Area by more than a cumulative total of 300 square feet; or

b.

Increase the horizontal encroachment into the Stream Conservation Area.

Vertical additions to existing permitted structures that do not expand the existing footprint are not counted towards the 300 square foot cumulative lot coverage allowance.

The 300 square feet of cumulative lot coverage is calculated on a per parcel basis following the effective date of this Section (August 18, 2022). No additional lot coverage may be added once the allowance is exhausted, consistent with state law. Not withstanding the foregoing, state law may require the allowance of certain other uses and/or development that is not otherwise contemplated by this Section.

3)

Driveway, road, and utility crossings, if no other location is feasible;

4)

Projects to improve fish and wildlife habitat:

5)

Water-monitoring installations;

6)

Passive recreation that does not disturb native species;

7)

Necessary water supply and flood control projects that minimize impacts to stream function and to fish and wildlife habitat:

8)

Agricultural uses that do not result in any of the following:

a.

The removal of woody riparian vegetation;

b.

The installation of fencing within the Stream Conservation Area that prevents wildlife access to the riparian habitat within the Stream Conservation Area;

c.

Animal confinement within the Stream Conservation Area; and

d.

A substantial increase in sedimentation.

The above listed uses shall comply with all other applicable requirements of this Development Code.

Land uses and improvements not listed above are prohibited, unless such improvements and land use meet the criteria for an exception in Subsection 4. below.

3.

Vegetation Removal Below Top of Bank. The removal of native vegetation below top of bank shall be prohibited.

4.

Exceptions. Exceptions to full compliance with all Stream Conservation Area criteria and standards in Subsection 2.b., above, may be allowed only if the parcel is undeveloped as of the effective date of this Section and following is true:

a.

A lot falls entirely within the Stream Conservation Area; or

b.

Development on the parcel entirely outside the Stream Conservation Area:

1)

Cannot be accomplished even if the proposed development is limited to 1,000 square feet or less of lot coverage on the parcel as a whole with the least possible encroachment into the Stream Conservation Area, or relocated to another suitable portion of the parcel that avoids encroachment in the Stream Conservation Area; or

2)

Would have greater impacts on water quality, wildlife habitat, other sensitive biological resources, or other environmental constraints than development within the Stream Conservation Area.

Exceptions under this Subsection would require an application supported by a showing of good cause and public noticing and shall be subject to the provisions in Chapter 22.114 (Appeals).

5.

Standard Management Practices. Development in the Stream Conservation Area subject to the SGV combining district shall incorporate appropriate Standard Management Practices identified in the Site Assessment, unless site specific measures identified through environmental review would result in equal or greater environmental benefit.

D.

Habitat Restoration Program. Approval of Site Plan Review permits within the SGV combining district shall be subject to compliance with any development impact fees, applicable at the time an application for Site Plan Review is approved, established to offset development impacts to the Stream Conservation Area through restoration and enhancement of riparian habitat within the San Geronimo Valley.

E.

Violations. Any violation of the provisions in this Section shall be enforced through any legal remedies available to correct and/or abate a nuisance or violation of the Development Code, including, but not limited to, the administrative citation penalty schedule as provided in Chapters 1.05 (Nuisance Abatement) and 1.07 (Imposition of Administrative Fines for Ordinance Violations) of the Marin County Code.

1.

Any violation of the limitations on use established in Section 22.30.045.C.2 constitutes a public nuisance subject to the provisions in Chapters 1.05 (Nuisance Abatement) and 1.07 (Imposition of Administrative Fines for Ordinance Violations) of the Marin County Code.

Chapter 22.32 - STANDARDS FOR SPECIFIC LAND USES

The purpose of this chapter is to establish regulations for the preservation and protection of native trees in the unincorporated areas of Marin County by limiting tree removal in a manner which allows for reasonable use and enjoyment of such property and to establish a procedure for processing Tree Removal Permits.

(Ord. No. 3577, 2012)

This Chapter applies only to "protected and heritage trees" as defined in Article VIII (Definitions) on improved and unimproved lots as defined in Article VIII in the non-agricultural unincorporated areas of Marin County. Protected and heritage trees may be removed in specific circumstances as stated in Section 22.62.040 (Exemptions) without triggering a requirement for a permit. Woodlands shall be managed and trees shall be preserved or replaced in compliance with Chapter 22.27 (Native Tree Protection and Preservation).

(Ord. No. 3577, 2012)

22.62.030 - Application, Filing, Processing, and Noticing.

A.

Purpose. This Section provides procedures for filing, processing, and noticing of Tree Removal Permit applications.

B.

Filing and processing.

1.

All Tree Removal Permit applications shall be completed, submitted, and processed in compliance with Chapter 22.40 (Application Filing and Processing, Fees) and Section 22.40.050 (Initial Application Review for Discretionary Permits).

2.

Tree Removal Permit applications are available online and at the Agency's public service counter.

C.

Notice of action. Administrative decisions on a proposed Tree Removal Permit application shall be noticed in compliance with Chapter 22.118 (Notices, Public Hearings, and Administrative Actions).

(Ord. No. 3577, 2012; Ord. No. 3666, § II(exh. A), 2017)

The removal of any protected or heritage tree on a lot is exempt from the requirements of this Chapter if it meets at least one of the following criteria for removal:

A.

The general health of the tree is so poor due to disease, damage, or age that efforts to ensure its long-term health and survival are unlikely to be successful;

B.

The tree is infected by a pathogen or attacked by insects that threaten surrounding trees as determined by an arborist report or other qualified professional;

C.

The tree is a potential public health and safety hazard due to the risk of its falling and its structural instability cannot be remedied;

D.

The tree is a public nuisance by causing damage to improvements, such as building foundations, retaining walls, roadways/driveways, patios, sidewalks and decks, or interfering with the operation, repair, or maintenance of public utilities;

E.

The tree has been identified by a Fire Inspector as a fire hazard;

F.

The tree was planted for a commercial tree enterprise, such as Christmas tree farms or orchards;

G.

Prohibiting the removal of the tree will conflict with CC&R's which existed at the time this Chapter was adopted;

H.

The tree is located on land which is zoned for agriculture (A, ARP, APZ, C-ARP or C-APZ) and that is being used for commercial agricultural purposes. (This criterion is provided to recognize the agricultural property owner's need to manage these large properties and continue their efforts to be good stewards of the land.);

I.

The tree removal is by a public agency to provide for the routine management and maintenance of public land or to construct a fuel break;

J.

The tree removal is on a developed lot and: 1) does not exceed two protected trees within a one-year timeframe; 2) does not entail the removal of any heritage trees; and 3) does not entail the removal of any protected or heritage trees within a Stream Conservation Area or a Wetland Conservation Area.

It is recommended that a property owner obtain a report from a licensed arborist or verify the status of the tree with photographs to document the applicability of the criteria listed above to a tree which is considered for removal in compliance with this section.

(Ord. No. 3577, 2012)

In considering a Tree Removal Permit application, the Director may only grant approval or conditional approval based on a finding that removal of the tree(s) is necessary for the reasonable use and enjoyment of land under current zoning regulations and Countywide Plan and Community Plan (if applicable) policies and programs, taking into consideration the following criteria:

A.

Whether the preservation of the tree would unreasonably interfere with the development of land;

B.

The number, species, size and location of trees remaining in the immediate area of the subject property;

C.

The number of healthy trees that the subject property can support;

D.

The topography of the surrounding land and the effects of tree removal on soil stability, erosion, and increased runoff;

E.

The value of the tree to the surrounding area with respect to visual resources, maintenance of privacy between adjoining properties, and wind screening;

F.

The potential for removal of a protected or heritage tree to cause a significant adverse effect on wildlife species listed as threatened or endangered by State or Federal resource agencies in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA);

G.

Whether there are alternatives that would allow for the preservation of the tree(s), such as relocating proposed improvements, use of retaining walls, use of pier and grade beam foundations, paving with a permeable substance, the use of tree care practices, etc.
