I have lived in San Anselmo for close to 20 years and it is chock-full of self-absorbed people like this with too much money.
They are not stupid -- they just took a "calculated" risk that they could pull this off.
I guarantee if they consulted a lawyer beforehand they would have been told there was very high risk of rejection of the plan.
This is just their "Hail Mary" attempt at still being able to get what they want and preserve / protect their risky investment choice.
- bdowling 4y agoAccording to the decision, the planning division initially approved the project but the neighbors appealed and the oversight commission reversed the approval. Hence the lawsuit and appeal of the trial court's ruling. Interestingly, the court left open the question of whether a project comprising a single-family home plus ADU would fall under the Housing Accountability Act. If the owners are still feeling litigious they may be able to file their original project proposal (5,000 sf. with ADU), get denied, sue the county again, and possibly get a different result.
