The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates relatively high as a means of cooling inflation, which spiked to 8% in 2022. In addition to pandemic-induced kinks in supply chains, two trillion-dollar spending bills passed during the Biden administration have been cited as probable causes of the rise in inflation. Marin County benefited at both ends of the equation, since it received a $50 million share of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act economic stimulus bill.

Caleb Roope, chief executive officer of the Pacific Companies, the project’s developer. “That isn’t how we see it.” Roope said the bonds were issued long ago and purchased by Citibank. He said the ruling has failed to shake Citibank’s confidence in the project. “Everybody takes for granted that you’re not going to be able to unwind approvals that have already happened,” Roope said. “The ruling doesn’t have an effect on what we’re doing and our ability to proceed.” Roope said his company owns the land in Marin City and has all of the needed approvals.

Read MoreMarin IJ: San Rafael Planners Release Final Mall Redevelopment EIR
Like the draft report, the final EIR, or FEIR, examines three other project alternatives, including a “no-project” option. In conclusion, the report says the “reduced residential alternative” — which proposes 63 fewer homes than what developers are seeking — would be the “environmentally superior alternative.” The option would “slightly reduce” the effects on air quality, emissions, energy, noise and vehicle trip generation, the report says.
