County authorizes more bonds for Marin City housing project

Marin County supervisors have voted a second time to authorize bonds for a controversial housing development in Marin City.

The proposed project at 825 Drake Ave. initially involved 74 apartments in a five-story building. Neighborhood opponents said the project would have adverse effects on traffic, parking and the quality of life at Village Oduduwa, a nearby complex for low-income seniors.

In 2023, the Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to authorize up to $40 million in bonds to underwrite the development.
