Late last month, the Marin County Board of Supervisors voted to approve almost $9.5 million in funding for the refurbishment of 100 Commodore Webster Drive, the old Point Reyes Coast Guard Station, into 54 affordable housing units. The presentation brought by the Marin County Community Development Agency was supported by a number of speakers, including representatives of Eden Housing and CLAM, the developers for the project.
Pre-application permits have been filed for an office-to-housing conversion at 97 Boston Avenue in Burbank, Santa Clara County.

TDDG US, another occupant of the Boston Avenue location, is responsible for the application.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has allowed plans to proceed with the residential conversion of the Lane Medical Library at 2395 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, San Francisco. The board voted 10-1 to reject an appeal of the project that would have prompted further environmental review. March Capital Management is the project developer.
New plans have been revealed for a mixed-use development at 20 Sunnyside Avenue in Mill Valley, Marin County. The relatively dense infill will retain the existing two-story offices while adding 12 units close to the central Depot Plaza. The city’s Planning Commission is scheduled to meet tonight.
Westbank and Urban Community have submitted new plans to convert Downtown San Jose’s iconic Bank of Italy tower into housing. The adaptive reuse of the office tower would create well over a hundred apartments across most of the 13-story building.
