Tiburon’s revised housing element has a seal of approval from the town’s Planning Commission, albeit with a caveat for the Town Council to consider other approaches as a fail-safe to the controversial Paradise Drive site.

The council is expected to approve and readopt the 2023-2031 housing element in some form when it meets Sept. 20 and then quickly resubmit it to Sacramento for 60-day review. It will be the town’s fourth attempt at state approval.
