Community Plans

Community Plans supplement the Countywide Plan by focusing on a particular community or area. Community Plans contain information and policies concerning land use, population and growth, transportation, housing, jobs, environmental protection, and community facilities. Other issues may be addressed depending on the circumstances in a particular community.

The policies and programs contained in a Community Plan are intended to provide long-term guidance and stability in implementing the goals of the plan. Community Plans may also impose restrictions on certain activities and function as a zoning ordinance in these situations. Many Community Plans have restrictions on residential second units, for example. There are 16 Community Plan areas in the County. Map of Marin County community plan areas.
