Speaker calls for action on sea level rise development code revisions
Marin County officials are set to address critical revisions to the development and building codes in response to concerns over sea level rise, following a public comment during the March 12, 2025, government meeting. Community member Jack Crystal urged the Board of Supervisors to consider previously submitted revisions that could significantly impact properties vulnerable to rising waters.

Crystal emphasized the urgency of these revisions, highlighting that the documentation he provided in the past outlines serious implications for affected properties. He expressed hope that the board would take these concerns into account during their upcoming discussions on agenda item seven, which focuses on the necessary updates to the county's codes.

The meeting also featured a range of public comments, including a call for noncompliance with financial institutions and a push for community action against perceived corruption. However, the primary focus remained on the need for timely revisions to the development code to protect Marin County residents from the threats posed by climate change.

As the Board of Supervisors prepares to review these proposed changes, the community is encouraged to stay engaged and informed about the implications for local development and environmental safety. The outcome of these discussions could play a pivotal role in shaping Marin County's response to climate challenges in the years to come.
