November special election in Sausalito focuses on housing compliance, zoning changes

THE CITY OF SAUSALITO will hold a special election Nov. 4 on two measures that it says will maintain the city’s compliance with the state housing element law. Opponents argue that one of the measures is not needed.

Measure J will rezone 12 commercial district sites throughout the city for new housing, and there are no opposing views posted on the county election website.

Measure K faces some criticism, however. It changes zoning for two acres of the Martin Luther King Jr. Park to make way for 50 units of affordable housing within the city’s 32-foot height limit. The project site will include what is now the parking lot and adjacent lot. The dog park and other recreational uses will remain.

Opponents argue that Measure K will cause the city to lose a public park, and that the city’s goal of providing housing for older residents is “a guise for a developer-friendly rezoning.”
