Marin General Measure Passes With 68 Percent of Vote
Paves the way for a new 300,000-square-foot main building, a 100,000-square-foot ambulatory services building and two new parking structures
Marin voters approved a 30-year bon measure to partially finance the $500 million rebuilding of Marin General Hospital.
The plan received 68 percent approval from voters.
Registrar of Voters Elaine Grinnold said she expects that result to hold up after all the remaining ballots are counted. All voters in Marin County, except those in Novato and portions of West Marin, are in the district.
The proposed rebuild includes a 300,000-square-foot new main building, a 100,000-square-foot ambulatory services building, a 412-space hillside parking structure and a 507-space parking structure on Bon Air Road.
Marin General Hospital must comply with the state Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act, which requires it to be earthquake-safe by 2030.
The health care district determined it could not comply with the seismic safety requirements by retrofitting the existing hospital.
The 19.7-acre project site fronts Bon Air Road south of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in unincorporated Marin County between Kentfield and Greenbrae.
