WE NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP  THE DEVELOPMENT OF 825 DRAKE AVENUE

What is the 825 Development?                                                                         

A multi-unit development to be built on the old Village Baptist Church site  in Marin City.  It will be:  5 STORIES, 74 UNITS, 23 PARKING SPACES, ON THE CORNER OF PARK CIRCLE AND DRAKE AVENUE directly across from Rocky Graham Park and directly in front of Village Oduduwa Senior Housing 

Why do we want to stop it?
With only one way in and out of Marin City, 143 multi-family and single family units in a 2 block perimeter, and narrow streets surrounding the site, the 825 Development is: Too Big,Too DENSE, UNSAFE,  and DISRUPTS THE COMMUNITY's CHARACTER

• The complex will severely undermine the safety of Marin City residents by causing traffic congestion which  will lead to hazardous conditions during emergency evacuation such as fire or flooding 
• Streets adjacent to Drake Avenue are too narrow to provide fire trucks clear passage.
• 23 parking spaces for a 74 unit complex that is across the street from an active community park is totally inadequate and will contribute to undue congestion and disruption in the neighborhood
• Lack of cross walks and closeness to public park will endanger children lives due to its location on a blind curve
• Apartment complex will tax an infrastructure (sewage and drinking water) that has not been upgraded for decades.
• Marin City is the most densely populated community in Marin County and well over 70% of its residential structures are multiple family units 
• Marin City already has a preponderous of affordable housing and the County of Marin is placing an undo burden on Marin City without requiring other communities toabsorb their fair share
