EPA Approves RVSD Larkspur Landing Property for Development - Take the RVSD Survey
2960 Kerner Boulevard
San Rafael, California 94901
The environmental cleanup activities on the property located at 2000 Larkspur Landing Circle, owned by the Ross Valley Sanitary District (RVSD) have been completed, as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). On December 14, 2021, EPA approved the cleanup of the Larkspur Landing property for unrestricted land use, meaning that the property is now suitably clean for all potential land uses, with no exceptions.
You can view the District news release announcing EPA clearance here.
BACKGROUND:
In 2005, the Larkspur
City Council approved a General Plan land use designation that allows
public facilities, open space, commercial, and high-density residential,
and a preliminary development plan that specifically allows 126
multifamily dwelling units (25 of which are affordable); a hotel; and a
District administration and maintenance facility.
Additionally, the City
of Larkspur is currently considering changing the site’s land use
designation to "Mixed Use I" as part of its General Plan Update, which
would allow additional flexibility. Alternative uses or variations on
this approval could be approved by the City.

NOTICE:
The community should be aware that recent changes to state law could potentially allow a greater number of housing units on the property than it is presently zoned for. The State Density Bonus law, alone, could add another 80 percent to the zoned 126 units, for a total of 226 units.
Under current state housing laws, the impacts of this scale of development intensity on traffic, parking, infrastructure, and schools capacity would not be allowed to be considered or mitigated. The City of Larkspur and RVSD would also be precluded from denying this intensity of development.
RVSD is reaching out to the community to help determine future uses of the property by issuing an online Survey.

The Survey ends on March 10, 2022
Marin residents who are potentially impacted by this future development
are advised to make their opinions and suggestions known by taking the survey and by contacting RVSD directly.
