The City Council will hold a special meeting at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 25 to adopt amendments to the City’s 2023-31 Housing Element. At the meeting, the Council will also provide direction to staff on the ballot measures that will be necessary to allow development on many of the sites identified in the Amended Housing Element.
In addition to considering input from the public, the Council will consider recommendations from the Planning Commission to reduce the number of units allocated to two sites that have generated significant public interest:
- Reduce the allocation for the MLK property at 610 Coloma Street to 80 units (site 84).
- Reduce the allocation for the Alta Mira property at 125 Bulkley to 51 units (site 202).
The meeting agenda includes supporting documents and written public comment received to date.
Following adoption of the Amended Housing Element, which may include additional modifications at the direction of the Council, the meeting will move on to the logistics of placing two measures on the ballot for a Special Municipal Election on June 3, 2025.
The two ballot measures are necessary due to City ordinances 1128 and 1022, which require voter approval to permit the development of housing on more than 15 of the sites included in the Amended Housing Element. The City has a March 7 deadline to submit ballot measures to the County if there is to be a special election on June 3.
The public is encouraged to attend the February 25 meeting in person or virtually and contribute feedback on the Amended Housing Element. Written public comment can be submitted to cityclerk@sausalito.gov.
