NEW BUSINESS
3. 195 North Redwood Drive [Marin Covenant Church] - Environmental and Design Review
for construction of a 10,104 square foot addition to the existing church. The addition
would enclose an existing patio area, create a new entrance lobby and a new space for a
youth center; APN: 155-271-09, 155-271-10, 155-271-11; Office (O) Zoning District; Dan
Kinnoin, AIA, TPC Architects, Applicant; Marin Covenant Church, owner; Smith Ranch
Homes NA. Project Planner: Caron Parker
Bob Huntsberry moved and Mohit Garg seconded to continue the item with recommendations for
redesign of the project as follows:
1) Explore creating a sense of entry into the building possibly at the alcove by the Youth Center which
would help resolve that detail and terminate the mansard.
2) Explore revisions to glazing on stairwell and consider incorporating materials that are found on the
opposite side of the building to tie the two ends of the building together better.
3) Maximize finger Islands in the parking area to the extent possible.
4) The blank wall along side of Youth Center building needs to incorporate some glazing and articulation.
5) Study providing a more grand stairway entry and resolve design details for the secondary stairway,
which looks incomplete.
6) Landscaping and signage are going in the right direction.
7) Eliminate the double parapet walls on the Youth Center. Study alternatives.
The vote is as follows:
AYES: Mohit Garg, Bob Huntsberry, Jeff Kent, Cheryl Lentini, Stewart Summers
NOES: None
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: None
