Update on the Use Permit Applications to Continue TCSD Events
As you may know, TCSD submitted two use permit applications to the County of Marin for 203 Marin Ave (Tam Valley Community Center) and 305 Bell Lane (TCSD main office and corporation yard) to allow TCSD to continue to provide services and community events for its residents. The applications were in response to threatened litigation against TCSD by a neighboring resident and a code enforcement action triggered by a resident’s anonymous complaint.
Specifically, the use permit application for 203 Marin Ave. will allow TCSD to continue to have bands (amplified outdoor music) at Creekside Fridays, Oktoberfest, and Earth Day events at the Tam Valley Community Center. The use permit application for 305 Bell Lane will allow TCSD to continue to offer Debris Day twice a year and the annual Household Hazardous Waste Day (HHWD). Please note in response to several community comments and to provide more clarity as to the TCSD request, the use permit application for 305 Bell Lane was modified to only request an amendment to allow for Debris Days and HHWD. References to existing operations were removed in the application.
Thank you to the over 800 people who e-signed or signed the on-line letter of support for continuing TCSD’s events and operations at our current location. The letter of support and list signatures was submitted to the County of Marin. We also appreciated the many of you who attended the Tamalpais Design Review Board (TDRB) on March 5th meeting to consider the use permit applications.
Public Hearing Date
The County of Marin has set a date for the public hearing for the Deputy Zoning Administrator to consider the use permit applications. The hearing is scheduled for Monday, June 16th at 10:00am in Room 328 at the Marin County Civic Center. Information on the County’s Community Development Agency’s website has not been updated yet. We will provide updates in future newsletters when more information becomes available.
