Note: In April 2024, the Community Development Agency (CDA) moved documentation for this project from "Lucas Valley" (since deleted) to a new "San Rafael - Lucas Valley" project area. No notice of this change was given to the public. If you were subscribed to the earlier project, you will need to subscribe to the new area to receive updates.

CDA deleted documentation of these initial proposals from the website:

•35 single family homes and 9 JADUs (Nov. 2023)

•33 detached single family homes and 6 junior accessory dwelling units (May 2023)

•100 detached single family homes and 25 JADUs under builder's remedy law (May 2023)
