15 Item #: 1.2

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #1.2
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Revenue and Expenditure Reports, February 2026 FROM: Jeff Zuba, Finance & Admin Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: That Town Council consider approving the monthly year-todate Revenue and Expenditure Reports and corresponding activity for the period ending through February 28, 2026.

SUMMARY
Every reporting period end, the Town of San Anselmo presents to the Town Council its operations as shown on the Revenue and Expenditure reports for discussion and approval.

BACKGROUND
The Revenue and Expenditure reports are year-to-date summaries of revenues and expenditures from the Town’s financial system (Tyler Incode) for both the current as well as the prior corresponding fiscal year. These reports include the General Fund’s operations given that most of the Town-level operational activities are processed through the General Fund either directly or indirectly. The Town Council approves these reports monthly throughout the fiscal year.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The revenue and expenditure data through February 28, 2026, is a compilation of all operating activity that is year-to-date for the current and prior fiscal year. These reports are sourced directly from the Town’s financial system, of which a corresponding analysis has been carried out by identifying the key trends the Town Council should take note of.
16 Item #: 1.2
Revenues
Overall, through the February 2026 reporting period, the Town’s general fund revenue increased its base relative to the prior year by $0.675M. A majority of the Town’s revenue is collected at specific times.

As shown above, the Town’s overall revenue base increased by $0.675M due to the following:
 The Town receives property tax disbursements from the County of Marin in December (55%), April (40%), and June (5%). Property Tax revenue increased by $0.417M. The Town budgeted a 3.78% increase in property taxes in fiscal year 2025-2026 and is right on track.
 The Town receives disbursements monthly from the State for Sales Tax. The collections for the fiscal year 2025-26 have been comparable to the prior year and remain on track with the budgeted amount.
 Revenue from Licenses & Permits increased by $0.158M compared to the previous period, due to construction activity in the Town and a small increase in business license collections year to date for fiscal year 2025-2026 compared to FY2024-2025.
 Intergovernmental revenues decreased by $0.090M compared to the previous period due to receiving $0.065M Leap grant for the Housing Element from the State in FY24-25 and no similar grant in FY25-26.
 Other Fees have increased by $0.218M compared to the previous period due to an increase in resale inspections, planning fees, and Friends of the Library donation towards the library refresh project.

As far as the other revenue streams, these changes either decreased or remained flat year-over-year resulting in an immaterial change.

Expenditures
Overall, through the February 2026 reporting period end, the Town’s General Fund expenditures have increased by $1.559M compared to the prior year. This is primarily from increases in compensation, retirement, outside services, and debt service. All other activity is either flat year-over-year or nets to an immaterial change, all of which are within management’s expectations.

17 Item #: 1.2
As shown above, the Town’s expenditures base overall increased by $1.559M, which is driven by compensation, retirement, outside services – public safety, and debt service:
 Compensation (Salaries & Wages and Benefits) increased by $0.368M compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the 6.0% cost of living adjustment effective July 1, 2025, step adjustments, one-time payment upon the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 2025-2028, vacation cashout and sick time roll overs per the MOU and health insurance premiums.  Retirement increased by $0.139M compared to the prior period due to the Town’s CalPERS unfunded liability payment, cost of living, step adjustments, and fully staffed positions.
 Outside Services decreased by $0.142M compared to the previous period due to lower allocated costs for Animal Control Services with the County and Library Marinet Membership, no contracted building inspector, and fewer plan check fees for third party consultants.
 Outside Services – Public Safety increased by $0.499M compared to the previous fiscal year due to payments for Public Safety JPA’s, Central Marin Police Authority, and Ross Valley Fire Department. These increases are in line with the budgeted amounts set by the Police Council and Fire Board.  Debt Service increased by $0.041M compared to the previous fiscal year due to the repayment of the 2021 Pension Obligation Bonds. The bond payments are due in August and February.
 Internal Service Fund Charge decreased by $0.104M compared to the previous period due to decreased payment to the Internal Service Funds for Insurance and vehicle replacement, offset by increases for Building Maintenance and Information Technology.
 Transfers Out increased by $0.740M compared to the previous period due to the Council approved 2025-2026 mid-year budget transfers (Resolution 2026-4609) of a portion of General Fund surplus reserves to the following funds, $500,000 to Park Capital Improvement, $200,000 to Building Maintenance, $75,000 to Information Technology, and $50,000 to Special Events offset by no original budgeted transfers to the Parks Capital Improvement Fund in fiscal year 2025- 2026 because of budget constraints.

As far as the other expenditure streams, these changes either slightly changed or remained flat year-over-year, resulting in an immaterial change. All other changes are immaterial for further discussion and are expected given the Town’s operations.

Overall, the General Fund is in good financial standing for 8 months through fiscal year 2025-2026. We remain on track with our projections.

All other activity is either flat year-over-year or nets correspondingly to an immaterial change.  Compensation (Salaries & Wages and Benefits) increased by $0.019M compared to the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the 6.0% cost of living adjustment effective July 1, 2025, step adjustments, one-time payment upon the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 2025-2028, vacation cashout and sick time roll overs per the MOU and health insurance premiums.  Outside Services increased by $0.016M compared to the prior period due to Ross Valley Fire Department staffing costs, including a 3% COLA, 3% equity adjustment, and continued step increases for Firefighter/Paramedic personnel.

 Construction increased by $1.103M compared to the previous period due to the Fire Station 20 Project and Isabel Cook Community Center Roof Project. In the prior period through September, the Town had completed some bridge design work, repairs on concrete roads, wrapped up of Town Hall roof & HVAC project, minor work at Memorial Park, and slurry seal project. There is no slurry seal project scheduled for FY25 due to major ongoing projects at Fire Station 20 and the Resilience Hub. The Town anticipates a slurry seal project in fiscal year 2026-2027.
 The Fire Station 20 project is still on target to be completed on time. The project has had about 16.6% change orders on the original contract amount of $3,449,000. The Town Council approved a mid-year budget adjustment of $650,000 for the Measure J budget to account for the Fire Station 20 project change orders.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.5
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Proclaiming April 2026 as Fair Housing Month. This item is not subject to
CEQA pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the
CEQA Guidelines because it does not constitute a
“project”
FROM: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council adopt a Resolution proclaiming April 2026 as Fair Housing Month.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
April is recognized as National Fair Housing Month, reaffirming the nation’s commitment to ending housing discrimination. This observance commemorates April 11, 1968, when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which includes the Fair Housing Act under Title VIII. The Act prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, or national origin and establishes the responsibility to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH). In April 2026, we mark the 58th anniversary of this landmark legislation.

The Town has demonstrated its longstanding commitment to fair housing by formally recognizing Fair Housing Month since 1985. As part of its 2015–2023 Housing Element and its commitment to promoting fair housing, the Town implemented Program H1.C Publicize Fair Housing Laws and Respond to Discrimination Complaints, which included the creation of a dedicated Fair Housing webpage .

The Town's certified Housing Element also outlines the following actions to advance Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH):
 Action 9.1a: Support fair access to housing for all persons without regard to race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry.  Action 9.1b: Assemble and promote the distribution of information to landlords regarding fair housing.
 Action 9.1c: Involve Marin County Mediation Services to aid in housing-related 59 For additional details on the Housing Element and its implementation, refer to the following ink on the Town’s website: Housing Element Implementation | San Anselmo, CA - Official Website.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to adopt the proclamation.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Resolution is consistent with the General Plan’s Housing Element Policy 9, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, Program 9.1, Eliminate discrimination in housing based on age, race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, ancestry, or occupation, Actions 9.1 a-d.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The adoption of the attached Resolution proclaiming the month of April 2026 as Fair Housing Month is not a “project” pursuant to Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and is therefore not subject to review pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

th Anniversary of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, known as the Civil Rights Fair Housing Act; and

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.6
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt an Ordinance to Repeal Title 9, Chapter 23, Sales of Residential Property: Reports of Residential
Building Records. The proposed Ordinance is exempt
from review under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) pursuant to the “common sense”
exemption, CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3)
FROM: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached Ordinance entitled, “An Ordinance of the Town Council of the Town of San Anselmo Repealing in Its Entirety Title 9 “Building Regulations”, Chapter 23 “Sales of Residential Property: Reports of Residential Building Records” (Attachment 1); and making associated CEQA Exemption Findings.”

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On February 24, 2026, the Town Council conducted a public meeting to review the Town’s Report of Residential Building Records program and consider potential changes to the existing regulations. The staff presentation provided an overview of the program’s history, current procedures, and a comparison with similar programs in other jurisdictions, along with options for Council consideration.

Following the presentation and public discussion, the Town Council voted 3–2 to direct staff to prepare an ordinance repealing Title 9, Chapter 23, which governs the Report of Residential Building Records program. In providing this direction, a majority of the Council expressed concerns regarding the cost, complexity, and time required to administer the program, as well as potential redundancy with disclosures and inspections commonly conducted as part of private real estate transactions.

On March 10, 2026, the Town Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider repeal of Chapter 23. Following the hearing, the Town Council unanimously: (1) approved a motion to read the Ordinance by title only, with the Town Manager reading the full title; and (2) approved the first reading of the Ordinance repealing Chapter 23 and waived further reading of the Ordinance in its entirety.
63 Item #:1.6
The purpose of this agenda item is to conduct the second reading and adopt the attached Ordinance repealing Title 9, Chapter 23 in its entirety. The proposed repeal would eliminate the Town’s requirement for inspections and preparation of residential building record reports at the time of sale.

FISCAL IMPACT
Repeal of the Report of Residential Building Records program will result in the elimination of associated fee revenue previously collected to support staff time and administrative costs related to inspections and report preparation. While the program was intended to recover costs, its repeal will reduce departmental revenue accordingly.

If the Council elects to consider establishing the report as an optional service, staff would seek policy direction regarding whether the program should be structured for full cost recovery or whether the Council wishes to subsidize a portion of the service through the General Fund.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed repeal of the Report of Residential Building Records regulation is an administrative action related to local procedures and does not directly affect land use designations, development standards, or the intensity of land use permitted under the General Plan. As such, the action does not result in physical changes to the environment or alter the Town’s adopted land use policies. The repeal is therefore considered consistent with the General Plan, as it does not conflict with any specific goals, policies, or programs.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the “common sense” exemption, CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance Amendment will have a significant effect on the environment; there will be no changes to land uses, development intensities, or the rate at which development is expected to occur, and will therefore have no significant environmental effect.

The repeal of the regulations would have no impact on the Climate Action Plan.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.7
MEETING DATE: 03.24.26
AGENDA TITLE: Consideration of Special Event Application – 4 th
Annual San Anselmo Chanukah Festival
FROM: Veronica Hillard – Senior Recreation Supervisor
RECOMMENDATION: That Town Council approve the Chabad of West Marin’s application for the 4
th Annual San Anselmo Chanukah Festival event scheduled for Sunday, December 6
th, 2026, from 3:00 – 5:00 pm.

That Council approve closing San Anselmo Avenue between Tunstead Avenue and Magnolia on Sunday, December 6
th, 2026, from 2:30pm-5:30pm.

That Council approve installing a large Menorah in front of Town Hall prior to Friday, December 4, 2026, until Tuesday, December 15, 2026 when it is disassembled.

BACKGROUND
This family-oriented event is sponsored by the Chabad of West Marin.

This is a two-part event that includes both a multi-day Menorah lighting and a one-day celebration filled with crafts, food, music, and games. The Chabad of West Marin is expecting around 350 people in attendance.

The organizer is proposing that the Menorah be assembled on either December 1 st
, 2
nd
,
or 3
rd, depending on staff schedules. That way it will be ready to be lit on Sunday, December 6
th in conjunction with the third day of Chanukah. One additional light will be lit the following five evenings until the eighth and final evening of Sunday, December 12, 2026. On December 6
th, the celebratory event and ceremonial lighting will take place from 3:00-5:00pm. At the event there will be activities, food, and a ceremony for lighting the Menorah. The Chabad of West Marin is requesting the closure of San Anselmo Avenue on December 14th from Tunstead to Magnolia from 2:30pm-5:30pm (with a hard closure beginning at 3:00pm). The Menorah will be disassembled and removed on either December 14th or December 15th depending on staff schedules. 67 Item #: 1.7

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The Menorah measures 9’ tall by 7.5’ wide and will be secured by 2-4 sandbags which total will be between 100-200 lbs. The assembly will be completed by Chabad of West Marin with oversight from town staff and will be located on the decomposed granite area in front of Town Hall (due to proximity to electrical). The Menorah is equipped with a dual fire/incandescent system which means it can accommodate both fire and lightbulbs. The menorah will be lit with incandescent lightbulbs. There is a timer that makes it add a light each night on its own - so long as it stays connected to power.

Good and Clean will assist with the street closure. Due to staffing issues an officer may or may not be present for the duration of the event. The Chabad may elect to hire additional private security should they feel a need to do so. The event is the day after San Anselmo’s Tree Lighting event, therefore the Recreation Department will work with Public Works to create a cohesive plan for street closure signage for both events.

The Chabad of West Marin has decided to not have a fire element during the celebration this year.

The Town will provide event infrastructure such as tables, chairs, barricades and road closure signage. Town staff will also coordinate janitorial services and street closure attendants.

In the event of inclement weather, the Chabad of West Marin may have to provide outdoor tents for coverage.

The attached application provides details of the event with comments and conditions from Town staff.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to the town for providing street closure attendants and a janitorial team is $235.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under the “common sense” exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, § 15061).

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 1.8
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Proclaim National Library Week in San Anselmo, April 19-25, 2026
FROM: Linda M. Kenton
RECOMMENDATION: That Town Council proclaim National Library Week in San Anselmo, April 19-25, 2026

BACKGROUND
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week, is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Each year the San Anselmo Town Council shows support for its library by proclaiming National Library Week. This year’s Proclamation is found in Attachment 1 and follows here:

National Library Week 2026 Proclamation
San Anselmo Public Library
WHEREAS, libraries spark creativity, fuel imagination, and inspire lifelong learning, offering a space where individuals of all ages can find joy through exploration and discovery;
WHEREAS, libraries serve as vibrant community hubs, connecting people with knowledge, technology, and resources while fostering civic engagement, critical thinking, and cultural enrichment;
WHEREAS, libraries provide free and equitable access to books, digital tools, and innovative programming, ensuring that all individuals—regardless of background—have the support they need to learn, connect, and thrive;
73 Item #: 1.8
WHEREAS, libraries partner with schools, businesses, and organizations to maximize resources, increase efficiency, and expand access to essential services, strengthening the entire community;
WHEREAS, libraries empower job seekers, entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners by providing access to resources, training, and opportunities that support career growth and economic success;
WHEREAS, libraries nurture young minds through storytimes, STEAM programs, and literacy initiatives, fostering curiosity and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime; WHEREAS, libraries protect the right to read, think, and explore without censorship, standing as champions of intellectual freedom and free expression; WHEREAS, dedicated librarians and library workers provide welcoming spaces that inspire discovery, collaboration, and creativity for all; WHEREAS, libraries, librarians, and library workers across the country are joining together to celebrate National Library Week under the theme “Find Your Joy”; NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Steve Burdo, Mayor of the Town of San Anselmo, proclaim April 19–25, 2026, as National Library Week. During this week, I encourage all residents to visit their library, explore its resources, and celebrate all the ways that the library helps our community find joy.

CONCLUSION
To proclaim National Library Week unites the San Anselmo Town Council with jurisdictions across the nation to show support not only for the San Anselmo Public Library but for all libraries and the work they do.

FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no direct fiscal impact to the Town to approve this item.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The adoption of the attached Proclamation declaring April 6-12, 2025 as National Library Week is not a “project” pursuant to Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and is therefore not subject to review pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

75 Item # 2.1

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item # 2.1
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Memorial Park Master Plan Amendment – Capital Campaign Feasibility Study
FROM: Mattie O’Grady, Director of Community Services
David P. Donery, Town Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council receive the results of the Memorial Park Capital Campaign Feasibility Study and Implementation Plan and provide direction to staff on next steps

BACKGROUND
Memorial Park is the Town’s largest and most heavily used park, serving as a central community gathering place for organized sports, informal recreation, and special events. The Town Council approved the Memorial Park Master Plan in 2018, establishing a long-term vision to address aging park infrastructure, improve drainage, modernize recreation facilities, and enhance community amenities. Since adoption, the Town has pursued phased implementation of the Master Plan consistent with available funding, including allocations of Measure A and Proposition 68 park funds. To date, several projects have been completed, including the restoration of Millennium Playground, the renovation of the playing fields and infields, pathway improvements and the full renovation of the Veteran’s Place parking lot.

In 2024 staff initiated an amendment to the Memorial Park Master Plan, which focused on improvements to the southern portion of the park, including potential reconfiguration and replacement of tennis courts, parking and drop-off areas, snack shack, basketball court, the skate park, bathrooms, and picnic facilities. The amendment process included significant public outreach which included a series of community meetings along with community surveys to gather feedback on preferred park improvements and priorities.

Recognizing that full buildout of the Master Plan and proposed amendments will require a mix of public and private funding, the Town engaged Lotus Consulting to conduct a Capital Campaign Feasibility Assessment and Plan for Memorial Park. The assessment evaluated whether a $4 million philanthropic campaign is feasible to close the funding gap for the final phase of the Memorial Park Master Plan, complementing approximately 76 Item # 2.1
$5 million in existing and committed public funding. The study relied on 21 confidential interviews with residents, business and civic leaders, and individuals with major gift capacity, and examined five core elements of a major gifts campaign: strength of the case, leadership, donor prospects, timing, and organizational readiness.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The feasibility study provides a high-level assessment of community readiness, leadership capacity, donor potential, and organizational infrastructure to support a first time, multimillion dollar capital campaign for Memorial Park. The findings show strong community support for Memorial Park and its proposed improvements, but also significant constraints that prevent the Town from successfully pursuing a $4 million capital campaign at this time.

Key Findings
 A $4 million Memorial Park capital campaign is not currently feasible, given limited major-gift capacity, modest projected giving from interview participants, and insufficient volunteer leadership depth for a first-time effort at this scale.  Memorial Park is broadly valued as a community asset, and the proposed improvements (courts, restrooms, shaded gathering areas, improved courts) have strong appeal, but the perceived urgency of the project is low to moderate, and concerns remain about parking, noise, and alignment with community priorities.
 The Town’s current fundraising infrastructure (Friends of San Anselmo Parks) successfully supports small, event-based fundraising but lacks dedicated development staff, systems, and governance needed to manage a multimilliondollar capital campaign.  The study notes that private fundraising should be positioned as one component of a diversified funding strategy that continues to include public sources such as Measure A allocations, state and federal grants, and future capital budgeting.

This blended approach reduces risk, allows the Town to match philanthropic dollars with public funds, and strengthens the case for donor investment.  There is clear willingness to support park and civic improvements at more modest levels, and a reliable base of community donors and business sponsors provides a platform to grow a broader culture of local philanthropy.  The study recommends a phased strategy that includes expanding and professionalizing the Friends of San Anselmo Parks Board of Directors, pursuing smaller “quick win” projects with reachable goals, and deliberately cultivating donor segments and leadership to prepare for larger campaigns.

On Tuesday, March 18, 2025, the Parks and Recreation Commission received the report of the findings from the study.
77 Item # 2.1
Recommendations
The report makes a series of recommendations that are designed to build the Town’s fundraising infrastructure and capacity. To date, the Town has conducted limited fundraising which has been primarily program-based. Although these efforts have been generally successful, they provide only limited benefit to the development of building a larger fundraising program. The following are categorical summaries of each recommendation along with staff comments regarding feasibility:

Organizational Structure and Vision
Similar to the Leadership recommendation, the report recommends that the town use the structure of the Friends of San Anselmo Parks 501(c)3 and build on it. The recommendation is to “expand the vision and mission of the “Friends of” org to be more inclusive of a wide array of projects that can improve the health and well-being of residents, our facilities and enhance open and green spaces. It should evoke emotion and lead with an inspiring, inclusive vision.”
Staff considers this a top priority moving forward and agrees that the development of a leadership team/Board of Directors should be a short-term goal. Although the Friends organization is not technically tied to the Town, it offers the best opportunity from which a fundraising leadership team can be developed.

Staff Capacity
The report recommends that the Town consider hiring a fractional development professional (0.6 - 0.8 FTE) dedicated to fundraising for Town initiatives through the Friends of San Anselmo.

Staff agree that this could be helpful once other steps are taken to develop organizational leadership and identify and prioritize needs. This function could also be developed through a contractual process.

Essential Systems and Infrastructure
The report recommends the implementation of a simple donor database to track contributions, relationships, and engagement history. This could also facilitate establishing protocols for gift processing and recognition, aid in the creation of a donor communication plan along with other benefits.

Staff agree with this recommendation and will begin researching options for a platform to get these functions established.

Leadership
The report recommends that the Town develop a strong volunteer Board of Directors for the Friends of San Anselmo Parks organization. The report recommends that the Town follow the model of school foundations that have separate staff and board and highly personalized and localized leadership that can make personal appeals. This could help in building a more formal volunteer Board of diverse, trusted community members who 78 Item # 2.1
want to be involved in the early stages of building this organization for the long-term benefits of our Town.

Staff agree that this is the top-level priority. In supporting the feasibility study, staff and local leaders assembled a task force to assist in shaping the process and accessing suitable residents to be interviewed. During this process, several individuals expressed interest in getting involved in continuing efforts to support community goals including joining a Board of the “Friends of” organization.

Fundraising Strategies
The report recommends that the Town demonstrate momentum with visible “quick wins” using available funds for high-impact improvements that show progress and build community excitement. The report goes on to acknowledge that this could create a proof of concept and demonstrate the Town's commitment before asking residents to invest philanthropically.

The report further recommends that any projects requiring fundraising be “reachable,” for example $50,000 or less to gain momentum and includes a list of potential smaller scale giving opportunities.

Staff agree that creating tangible and achievable goals that would provide visible community benefit is a productive step in developing our fundraising capabilities.

Build Philanthropy Through Action
The report recommends creating visible events and activities that could help raise the profile of efforts and opportunities to get involved in the community. Suggestions include host community events in the improved spaces to create emotional connection, creating volunteer opportunities around the improvements (planting days, maintenance, programming) and developing a strong communications plan showing the vision for what philanthropy could add.

The report recommends positioning early projects as Phase 1 of a multi-phase vision.

While being transparent that public funds are getting things started, but community support will complete the vision.

Staff agree that these types of efforts will help build a comprehensive approach to a local culture of philanthropy and that a strong Friends Board will be crucial to the success of this and many of the other efforts. Existing staff capacity is limited but combining in-house expertise with motivated community volunteers could generate the necessary resources.

Project Selection
The report makes recommendations regarding the selection of projects that could include a fundraising component. These recommendations include considering projects that serve as much of the community as possible and that include immediate use and 79 Item # 2.1
enjoyment. The report goes on to provide a series of considerations that will be useful as projects are developed.

Donors and Prospects – Identification, Cultivation and Stewardship The report includes a series of recommendations related to the development, growth and relationship management of donors and prospective donors.

Staff agree that to the extent possible, institutionalizing these suggestions will help develop and maintain robust fundraising capabilities within both the Friends of group and the Town itself. This recommendation overlaps with the Essential Systems and Infrastructure and Leadership recommendations. Having the volunteer Board and donation management software will be key to the success of this recommendation.

CONCLUSION
In summary, the consultants advise the Town to focus first on building a culture of philanthropy and strengthening the Friends organization. Key strategies include establishing core development systems, and building a more formal, diverse volunteer board and campaign leadership structure. They recommend pursuing visible, tangible “quick win” projects with reachable fundraising goals leveraging existing successes such as Live on the Avenue and tribute/naming opportunities and deliberately cultivating donor segments (families with young children, longtime residents, merchants, and seasoned philanthropists). Over time, these steps are intended to expand local philanthropic norms, demonstrate delivery on projects, rebuild trust following Creek Park delays, and position the Town for larger capital fundraising efforts.

Based on the study’s findings and the current state of funding and organizational readiness, staff recommends the development of the Friends of San Anselmo Parks volunteer board and leadership structure and focusing project efforts on renovation of the Memorial Park Athletic Courts, advancing a high priority, visible component of the Master Plan and continuing to build long term fundraising capacity.

On Tuesday, March 18, 2025, the Parks and Recreation Commission received the report of the findings from the study. Following the presentation, the Commission recommended that the Town Council consider developing the Friends of San Anselmo Parks Board of Directors along with the development of some “quick wins” projects in concert with the short-term renovations of the area identified in the Memorial Park Master Plan amendment. The Commission further recommended that any short-term renovations considered for the park not limit the future development of the Master Plan amendment.

FISCAL IMPACT
80 Item # 2.1
The presentation of this report does not have a fiscal impact on the Town. Subsequent efforts related to the implementation of elements of the plan could require funding and will be brought to the Council for consideration on a case-by-case basis.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Council’s discussion and approval of this report is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act, because it does not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 21065).

A. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Town of San Anselmo engaged Lotus Consulting in November 2025 to conduct an assessment of feasibility for a $4 million fundraising campaign to enable the completion of the masterplan for Memorial Park. This report will detail the findings, conclusions, and recommendations from the fundraising feasibility study.

Lotus wishes to acknowledge the invaluable efforts of the Feasibility Assessment Task Force appointed by the Town that advised and guided the work of the consultants, Melissa Irish and Marcella Brawley.

The group included:

Ø Margot Biehle - resident
Ø Rod Kerr – resident, Parks & Recreation Commission
Ø Jeanne Lipson - resident
Ø Nish Nadaraja - resident
Ø Jeff Ranke – resident, merchant
Ø Elizabeth Share - resident
Ø Steve Burdo – Council member
Ø Eileen Burke – Council member
Ø Sean Condry - Public Works Director
Ø Dave Donery – Town Manager
Ø Mattie O’Grady – Community Services Director
Ø Kelley Warner – Community Engagement Coordinator
Ø Jeff Zuba – Finance & Administration Services Director This team of leaders committed vital time to meetings, knowledge and expertise on San Anselmo’s history, strategic priorities and local context. They provided contacts for the study initiative as well as valuable insights to the development of the case statement.

B. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
Ø Assess the feasibility of a campaign to raise as much as $4 million in capital funds to complete the update and renovation of San Anselmo’s Memorial Park.

Ø Devise a fundraising strategy based on the findings of the feasibility assessment and the availability of philanthropic funds for the initiative.

Ø Craft a recommended implementation program for this campaign including the sequence of fundraising action, project timeline, table of campaign organization and description of resources required to carry out the campaign.

Ø Advise on gift opportunities that may arise during the course of the consultation. 84 3
The assessment tested for the presence and strength of five measurable elements essential in achieving larger-scale fundraising success:

1. A compelling and clearly defined case that reflects the project goals in terms that furthers The Town’s mission and impact, can be easily understood, and will motivate donors.

2. Leadership that will make significant financial contributions, solicit high-level donations, and lend credibility to the project.

3. A pool of prospects sufficient in number and financial capacity from which to draw higher-level donors.

4. Timing considerations measured against potential competing projects.

5. Organizational readiness at volunteer leadership levels and with evidence of key staffing and fundraising systems.

C. STUDY PROCEDURES AND METHODOLOGY
A Feasibility Assessment is designed to probe for the presence of “Major Gifts” rather than giving at all levels. For the purposes of this study, Major Gifts were defined as single contributions of five, six and seven figures, based on a campaign goal of $4 million. Testing for the presence of Major Gifts is a far more reliable qualitative sampling methodology than exploring the potential for large numbers of smaller contributions.

Data gathering for the assessment is conducted through a series of interviews with select individuals, guidance from the Town of San Anselmo’s Task Force members and a review of the Town’s approach to fund development.

Lotus developed a written “Case Statement” for the proposed campaign that was reviewed, amended, and approved by staff and the Task Force. Invitations and the Case Statement were then sent to prospective interviewees asking for their participation in the study process through a confidential, one-on-one interview.

An interview questionnaire customized for this assessment was developed by Lotus and was utilized as the discussion framework in each of the interviews. While each interview was uniquely informative, the instrument helped to ensure consistency between the information gathered.

Interview Group Profile:

Interviews took place November 2025 through January 2026. Sessions ran anywhere from 45 to 75 minutes with an average session length of 60 minutes. Lotus completed a total of 21 interviews.

D. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

1. Image, Case and Urgency
Interviewees commented on San Anselmo's image, the Town's vision for Memorial Park, and the importance of community gathering spaces and park improvements. They also shared perspectives on the need for and urgency of a major fundraising initiative and the overall appeal of supporting the project as described in the case for support. The following are the primary findings and themes expressed.

Town and Park Perceptions
Ø The majority of People appreciate Memorial Park’s beauty and natural setting.

Ø It is predominantly seen as a place for kids and younger families.

Ø The highest perceived use and relationship to park is sports for kids.

Ø 2/3 of interviewees stated that the park is an underutilized asset for such a large community and in need of upgrades.

Ø Only two respondents saw intergenerational elements, although they were minimal.

Case Strengths
Elements with the Strongest Appeal:

Ø Including more community gathering places and bringing programming and the energy of Live on the Avenue to “Live at Memorial Park” held strong and unanimous appeal (with caveats about noise, size, parking and design. Questions surfaced about whether there is enough space for this.)
Ø The theme of connection resonated strongly.

Ø There is strong support for building on what has been done to show momentum and investment.

Ø The upgrading of the facilities and activity courts is seen as a positive move to make the park intergenerational and relevant for adults.
86 5
Ø Additional bathrooms and a better snack shack are seen as a plus.

Ø There is general agreement that the renderings show the areas of the park that are most in need of repair and renovation (with exception of one person).

Case Weaknesses
Ø For 2/3 of the interviewees, $4 million feels unrealistic for Town’s first big raise.

Ø Economic benefits for Town merchants, especially Red Hill, from increased visitors to the park needs to be emphasized more.

Ø The stalled Creek Park project seems to erode confidence in Town’s ability to see through these kinds of projects.

Ø A quarter of the interviewees expressed concern about the Park plans representing the will of the people.

Ø Parking was a concern for half of respondents.

Suggestions for Making the Case More Persuasive
Ø Build up the concept of community gathering spaces and create broader appeal for all ages. The plans need to be more obvious for how they will accommodate this.

Ø There should be a stronger focus on accommodating older residents. A few examples to enhance include shading, seating areas, and safe pathways. Older residents are also potentially the most affluent donor base.

Ø Go beyond describing features and talk about who will benefit and how, and why this project is important.

Ø Specifically appeal to the parents of the kids playing sports; they are the biggest users.

Ø Offer contingency plans if all the funds can’t be raised through philanthropy alone.

Ø Provide more specifics on the finances and the details of the project.

Ø Secure 60-70% of the fundraising goal from a few large gifts before going to the public/broader to build confidence.

Sense of Urgency
The study revealed limited urgency for the project among interviewees. Fewer than onequarter (5 of 21) viewed the work as urgent, citing rising construction costs and safety concerns. Nine respondents saw no urgency, while five characterized it as important but not immediately pressing. This response may reflect that only eight interviewees—roughly onethird of the cohort—actively use Memorial Park. 87 6

2. Leadership, Donors and Prospects
Interviewees shared their views on the Town's campaign readiness, suggested potential leaders from the community, and expressed their own interest in serving.

To conduct a multi-million dollar campaign, especially for the first time, it is critical that the leadership team has members who have the trust of the community, the capacity to make major gifts and connections to others who can do the same, possess knowledge about running a successful fundraising campaign, have an affinity for Memorial Park and civic investment in San Anselmo, and the time available to see it through. swaz Campaign Leadership
When asked about potential leadership for a Memorial Park campaign, interviewees expressed clear views about various groups' capacity to lead a major fundraising effort.

Task Force
The study's Task Force received positive endorsements from interviewees:

Ø Most members are well-known and respected by a majority of participants.

Ø They are believed to have access to potential donor networks and credibility in the community.

Ø Individuals are perceived to possess foundational fundraising skills that can be built upon.

Potential Volunteer Campaign Leadership Mentioned in Interviews Beyond existing groups, interviewees identified a broader pool of potential volunteer leaders:

Ø 17 individuals were suggested, representing various community connections.

Ø There is understood access to all individuals named.

Ø Suggested networks span several demographics: younger parents, older residents with discretionary funds, local business owners, and newer residents seeking engagement.

Potential Volunteer Leadership from Interview Cohort
Within the study participants themselves, leadership interest proved modest but meaningful:

Ø 2 agreed to serve on a fundraising committee.

Ø 4 expressed conditional interest, depending on how the project's vision and scope evolve.
88 7
Ø 8 declined formal leadership roles.

Ø 7 offered to help in advisory or connector capacities—making introductions and leveraging networks without committee responsibilities.

Projected Giving
Interview participants were asked who they think could make a gift to the Memorial Park campaign at levels ranging from five to seven figures based on known capacity, connection to San Anselmo, and affinity for community investment and civic projects.

Interviewees were also asked hypothetical questions about their own potential giving levels.

Lastly, participants were asked, "based on everything they know about the proposed project, whether a $4 million fundraising campaign could be successful." This is the proverbial "gut check"—an important indicator for fundraising outcomes.

Prospective Giving from Interview Cohort
Ø 12 interviewees indicated they would make a gift to the campaign and shared a financial range. One of these “gifts” is an offer to raise money for the project should their conditions be met, and another is an in-kind offer for construction work.

Ø Four respondents indicated they would give but declined to state an amount.

Ø Five respondents do not intend to give.

Ø Projected contribution levels from the interview cohort ranged from $200 up to $25,000, and the single offer to “raise” money for the project was up to $250,000.

Prospects Suggested: Interest and Capacity to be Qualified Ø $1M+: 1 individual suggested, with access.

Ø 6 figures: 1 institution, 3 individuals suggested, known access to 2.

Ø 5 figures: 4 individuals, 2 institutions with known access.

Current Donors (based on historical data from Live on the Avenue) Ø Strong donor retention: Across three years, there is a consistent base of repeat donors to Live on the Avenue who have contributed annually.
89 8
Ø Overall donor participation is modest. Each year attracts 40-50 donors and removing the top local business sponsors, the average gift hovers around $250-$500 indicating household-level gifts rather than major individual giving.

Ø The absence of $5K-$25K individual gifts doesn't mean that capacity doesn't exist—it likely means the right ask hasn't been made for the right project and Memorial Park can offer new, diverse opportunities for larger giving.

Ø Local business sponsorships are driving the majority of the growth and total donations to Live on the Avenue has increased 41% over three years.

Ø Several donors indicate “In memory of” designations, indicating the community responds to tribute giving opportunities.

3. Confidence Rating, Timing and Organizational Readiness Timing in Relation to Socio-economic Climate
Go Now - 100%
Fundraising Landscape: Active Market
The interview cohort was unaware of other significant campaigns; however, Lotus is aware of at least 10 active campaigns at varying stages in Marin County seeking collectively over $200M from philanthropic sources.

Organizational Readiness
Ø Organizational Infrastructure: Friends of San Anselmo Parks is a 501(c)(3) functioning as a pass-through entity for town projects with a minimal administrative board. No dedicated staff, grant writing capacity, or prior foundation/government grant pursuit exists.

Ø Fundraising Track Record & Capacity: Friends raises ~$90,000 ($20K flower baskets, $70K Live on the Avenue) through sponsorships, email outreach, and personal asks.

Donor tracking is limited to names and amounts only—no comprehensive history or donor relationship data are recorded.

Ø Development Systems & Donor Relations: The Town lacks formal development infrastructure or a donor database. Stewardship consists primarily of event recognition.

While personal relationships have driven fundraising success, no scalable systems exist for sustained campaign efforts.

E. CONCLUSIONS
Image, Case and Urgency
The unanimous admiration for the sense of community found in San Anselmo and feelings of town pride, and the sincere desire to build on and retain it, is a pathway to raise more money for a variety of town projects and initiatives including Memorial Park and beyond. However, a culture of philanthropy needs to be fostered in San Anselmo to pave the way to raise significant funds to support Town improvements. The benefits of giving to local civic projects and a sense of ownership could be fostered over time. Residents would benefit from seeing direct benefits of their giving towards things that matter most to them - Creek Park, Live on the Avenue and the priorities expressed in this report about Memorial Park.

Fundraising leadership can leverage and highlight the findings from this study to position future fundraising for the park:

Ø Memorial Park is perceived as a town gem that has brought joy and fond memories for all the respondents as they reflected on the sports their kids played there, family birthday parties and gatherings, the time spent with young children and grandchildren at the playground, and the use of the large fields for general play and respite.

Ø It is agreed that the portion of the park that is being described in the Case needs immediate attention and there is general consensus for the plan as stated with pickleball courts, new bathrooms, community gathering spaces with shade and a multiuse sport court leading their interest.

Ø Interviewees across the board are very enthusiastic about the idea of the town finding a way to extend programming similar to that of Live on the Avenue into Memorial Park and having shaded spaces to sit and be entertained and/or engage with each other.

Some ideas were small flea markets or bazaars, poetry reading or speaker series, jazz on Sundays with a food truck or vendors. If planned correctly, this can offer a path for fundraising given its high appeal.

Ø Building up the intergenerational aspects of the park and project could encourage more support from the majority of the interviewees (and others in their demographics) who have grown children and therefore use the Park quite less. It is also believed that this demographic has more discretionary income to spend on local projects and it would be advised to find a way to make the Park more usable for them.

Ø The urgency of the project can be enhanced by emphasizing the safety concerns of the existing space and the rising cost of repairs should there be further delay.

Ø The cost of the project seemed reasonable to nearly all the interviewees but the fundraising goal felt unachievable. Phasing the project and setting lower fundraising goals until there is more enthusiasm for giving is advised and outlined in our recommendations.
91 10
Additionally, the need for private sector funds to complete and elevate public facilities needs to be better understood not as a deficiency of the Town of San Anselmo but a reality for towns and municipalities nation-wide. Having more transparency on the Town budget and the cost of projects could possibly help make the case as well as data on how public funds - local, statewide and federal - are shrinking and towns are increasingly more strapped financially. Further, sharing information about the levels of philanthropic investment in comparable towns and municipalities to go beyond the functional and build exceptional parks, community centers and libraries could likely strengthen the case for giving. See some examples in the appendix and gather further data on local towns in Marin.

Leadership
There was not a sufficient number of volunteers found in this study to create a well-rounded Capital Campaign leadership team, but early interest is evident. The Town Council, staff and well-respected volunteers like those who served on this Task Force will need to build fundraising leadership well beyond its current members to ensure representation of broader target donor markets that use the Park and of people who can make larger gifts and encourage others to do the same. A more diverse team will also help to build trust and increase visibility.

The “Friends of” structure offers an ideal opportunity to build a more formal Board to provide governance and oversight, as well as extend fundraising reach to help with Memorial Park and other projects. There were many interviewees who offered to help with fundraising in various ways such as making direct asks and/or making connections. The Town staff should seek flexible ways to build and support these volunteers.

Additionally, to raise significant funds on an annual basis or for the proposed capital project, professional fundraising staff will need to be hired on a part-time or full-time basis based on the scope of the campaign(s). Suggested roles and responsibilities to support expanded fundraising efforts are outlined in the recommendations under “Organizational Capacity”.

Projected Giving, Donors and Prospects
This study did not find a $4 million capital campaign for Memorial Park to be feasible at this time. However, findings indicate a clear willingness to support Park improvements at more modest levels and suggest a viable pathway toward larger-scale fundraising once foundational conditions are in place.

Further, it is assumed that there are high levels of affluence in San Anselmo and it is likely that many residents have discretionary income to support causes they care about. Over half of the interviewees are actively engaged as donors and leaders in other civic-based programs locally or nationally and giving back. The key will be to identify the pockets of wealth and set a course to find out how to get these individuals and the broader community to give to Town projects.

This information can be obtained through formal and informal research methods described in our Recommendations.

There is a proven committed base of community supporters to build from. This key group of residents demonstrate reliable giving for a cherished community initiative – Live on the Avenue 92 11
- year after year. While the Memorial Park project will need to expand beyond this base, it represents possible early adopters and important community ambassadors that can help build broader support through peer-to-peer outreach.

The Creek Park project serves as a potential impediment to future fundraising. Town residents would benefit from better understanding why that beloved and long-anticipated project stalled out to shift frustration directed towards the Town Council to where it more rightly belongs. A positive step towards future fundraising for Town projects would be to successfully finish most if not all of that project and invite modest support from the community to show impact and build trust.

Local businesses see the benefit in investing in San Anselmo projects. A Memorial Park initiative with naming opportunities and lasting recognition could expand business participation and attract more five and six figure gifts beyond the Live on the Avenue event.

Memorial and tribute messaging resonates with the community. The “In Memory of” gifts to Live on the Avenue suggest that a naming program can also be a powerful individual fundraising vehicle that taps into personal motivations in addition to community improvement appeals.

Confidence Rating and Timing
Interview responses suggest cautious optimism about timing, with important caveats about approach and execution but overall agreed that there is no perfect time.

Factors Supporting Moving Forward:

Ø Several interviewees noted strong economic conditions and donor capacity in Marin.

Ø Increased focus on local community investment post-pandemic.

Ø Community desire for positive, unifying projects that counter current political divisiveness.

Ø General consensus that there's never a "perfect" time, so moving forward with proper planning. is reasonable.

Organizational Readiness
Organizational readiness for large-scale fundraising is limited. Current capacity suits projectbased, grassroots fundraising rather than a sustained $4 million effort.

Critical gaps include donor tracking systems, strategic board engagement in fundraising, and formal donor cultivation, solicitation and stewardship beyond events.

Strong community relationships and proven fundraising success exist. The Town has demonstrated ability to raise modest funds through personal connections and grassroots efforts, providing a solid foundation to build upon.

F. Recommendations
We recommend that the Town of San Anselmo embark on a more modest fundraising effort that focuses on making the Case for investments in the Town on a broader level and encourages high levels of participation (vs larger gifts). This can help residents make that shift in their minds and start making Town projects part of their philanthropic priorities. Below are some specific recommendations on how to start that process over the next two to three years.

Organizational Structure and Vision
Use the structure of the Friends of 501(c)3 and build on it.

Expand the vision and mission of the “Friends of” org to be more inclusive of a wide array of projects that can improve the health and well-being of residents, our facilities and enhance open and green spaces. It should evoke emotion and lead with an inspiring, inclusive vision.

Establish professional fundraising capacity to sustain momentum and build a culture of philanthropy in San Anselmo. The feasibility study confirms community interest in supporting Memorial Park and other civic initiatives but translating that interest into sustained philanthropic investment requires dedicated professional attention and basic infrastructure.

Staff Capacity
Hire a fractional development professional (0.6 - 0.8 FTE) dedicated to fundraising for Town initiatives through the Friends of San Anselmo. This role would:

Ø Manage donor cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship throughout the year.

Ø Coordinate fundraising campaigns for Memorial Park and other civic projects.

Ø Build and maintain relationships with individual donors, businesses, and community groups.

Ø Support volunteer fundraising committees and the Friends of San Anselmo board.

Ø Plan and execute community engagement events that blend friend-raising with fundraising.

Essential Systems and Infrastructure
Ø Implement a simple donor database to track contributions, relationships, and engagement history.

Ø Gift processing and acknowledgment protocols should be in place.

Ø Create a stewardship calendar ensuring regular donor communication and recognition. 94 13
Ø Track basic fundraising metrics and establish reporting to monitor progress and inform strategy.

Ø Devise a donor communications plan (newsletters, impact reports, campaign updates).

With added capacity, create a 3 - year fundraising plan that is achievable and has highly visible and tangible projects that are highly relevant and desirable for Town residents. These projects can be the “icing on the cake” of larger municipal initiatives that build donor confidence and grow a culture of giving to the Town.

Leadership
Follow the model of the school foundations that have separate staff and board and highly personalized and localized leadership that can make personal appeals. Build a more formal volunteer Board of diverse, trusted community members who want to be involved in the early stages of building this organization for the long-term benefits of our Town. A more formal line between this entity and the Town staff and the Town Council could generate more trust to give.

Build up the public-private partnerships and ensure sovereignty of the “Friends of” entity.

Continually build up the fundraising leadership teams with short terms that encourage new people every 2 years. Think about affiliation groups that want to be together and can fundraise within their own “groups.” This follows a political fundraising model and leverages small events and house parties for distinct projects. Some obvious segmentation of San Anselmo donor markets are:

Ø Families with Young Children.

Ø Empty Nesters who are long-time San Anselmo residents.

Ø Public servants working in our Town (teachers, librarians, firefighters, etc).

Ø Grandparents who use the facilities when their families come to town.

Ø Merchants and Local Business Owners.

Ø Seasoned Philanthropists Not Yet Directing Their Gifts to Town.

Fundraising Strategies
Demonstrate Momentum with visible quick wins using available Town funds for high-impact improvements that show progress and build community excitement. This creates proof of concept and demonstrates the town's commitment before asking residents to invest philanthropically.

Make all fundraising projects “reachable,” for example $50,000 or less to gain momentum.

Until there is a more robust funding base and a culture of philanthropy developed in San 95 14
Anselmo to give back to our Town to go from “good to great,” public funds and institutional giving such as public grants will likely need to be the primary source of funds.

Immediate Fundraising Opportunities:

Ø Live on the Avenue (position some as “benefit concerts” to improve our Town).

Ø Extending programming into Memorial Park similar to that of Live on the Avenue.

Ø Small, tangible and highly attractive elements of Creek Park (accessible dance floor, stage elements, picnic benches).

Ø Highly desirable Memorial Park features found through the study (sponsor a bench or a tree for the community gathering spaces, pay for murals or tiles for the new bathrooms, sponsor a pickleball court or a program series).

Ø Named elements that allow families to honor and memorialize loved ones while supporting the project.

Build Philanthropy Through Action
Ø Host community events in the improved spaces to create emotional connection.

Ø Create volunteer opportunities around the improvements (planting days, maintenance, programming).

Ø Develop a strong communications plan showing the vision for what philanthropy could add.

Ø Use visible progress to engage potential donors: "Look what we've accomplished— imagine what we could do together".

Frame It Strategically: Position early projects as Phase 1 of a multi-phase vision. Be transparent that public funds are getting things started, but community support will complete the vision and add special elements that make Memorial Park truly extraordinary.

Project Selection
Ø Elements that serve the broadest community (accessible pathways, gathering spaces).

Ø Improvements that create immediate use and enjoyment.

Ø Features that are photogenic and shareable—helping tell the story.

Identify and solicit a few anchor gifts for each project that show momentum and can be used as “matching” funds to inspire participation by town residents. People like to be part of something that feels successful.
96 15
Additionally, have larger levels of investment, such as “giving tiers” for those that want to be “champions” investing in our town. These can be designed for individuals and local businesses.

Consider a membership model where donors can give monthly at modest levels to advance the mission. Develop giving levels and benefits that focus on impact and bringing people together, and public recognition of support.

Pursue a large “seed” gift to start an endowed fund that can be added to by Town residents advancing the broader mission of the “Friends of” organization.

Making the case to local businesses how improvements to all elements of the Town will further advance their economic well-being is essential to galvanize their support of the “foundation.” A more desirable town to live in benefits their bottom line.

Engage local businesses as community partners by creating collaborative fundraising initiatives that leverage existing consumer behavior while building community spirit. San Anselmo's vibrant restaurant and retail scene presents a natural opportunity for low-barrier participation that benefits both businesses and the Memorial Park project.

Example Initiative: San Anselmo Restaurant Week for Memorial Park. Partner with local restaurants to designate a week (or weekend) where participating establishments contribute a small percentage of proceeds to a specific Memorial Park feature. This approach:

Ø Makes giving effortless - residents support the project while enjoying activities they already do.

Ø Provides participating businesses with positive community visibility and goodwill.

Ø Creates a recurring annual tradition that builds momentum over time.

Ø Generates media attention and social media engagement for both the project and local businesses.

Ø Allows focus on discrete, fundable elements (e.g., "This year's Restaurant Week helps fund the snack shack").

Donors and Prospects – Identification, Cultivation and Stewardship Continually build a donor pipeline: Conduct a wealth screening annually of town residents to reveal where there is the greatest capacity. Combine these efforts with working the networks of the Board members and other fundraising volunteers who can reach further into diverse donor markets.

Stewardship, recognition, and milestone celebration are essential to building philanthropic culture. Focus on collective achievement and broad community participation—this approach both identifies prospects for larger investments and fosters a sense of shared ownership that encourages giving at all levels.
97 16
Highly publicize the needs, participation and results of fundraising efforts and make it a community-centric event that makes it fun and social for people to be involved and builds on Town pride and belonging.

In Closing...

San Anselmo's greatest asset has always been its people—neighbors who gather, connect, and build lasting memories together. Memorial Park sits at the heart of this community spirit, a place where generations come together to celebrate, play, and belong.

This feasibility study confirms what we already know: our town is ready to invest in spaces that bring us closer together. While the path forward requires patience and strategic action, the potential is clear. With thoughtful cultivation of philanthropic culture and visible early wins, we can transform Memorial Park into an even more vibrant hub for all residents.

Join us in building the foundation for this vision. Whether through advocacy, volunteer leadership, or early investment in tangible improvements, your partnership will help create a park that truly serves our entire community—today and for generations to come. 98 17

FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN LEADERSHIP
E. SAMPLE Roles and Responsibilities for Discussion

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Board is the responsible for the overall governing of the organization that sets and approves strategy, ensures the financial viability of the organization, oversees the Executive Director or senior staff and allocates resources as needed.

Specific to the campaign, they:
• Approve Campaign goals and policies
• Work in partner with Campaign Cabinet and Staff
• Act as a volunteer leader, advocate and spokesperson
• Set an example with 100% giving at leadership levels
• Ensure proper planning and resources
• Identify, steward and solicit donors
• Host and attend events
• Recruit campaign volunteers as needed

CAMPAIGN (CO)CHAIRS
Chairs or Co-chairs are the “public face” of the Campaign. They work closely with the organization’s top professional leadership and campaign counsel to set the overall strategy and focus of the campaign. A Campaign Chair is asked to:
• Help recruit the Campaign Cabinet
• Preside over Cabinet meetings and establish the meeting agendas • Assist Cabinet members with their assignments and rally support to them as needed • Make a personal gift to the project, ideally at their highest giving levels • Other duties asked of all Cabinet members described below

THE CAMPAIGN CABINET
The Cabinet (aka “Steering Committee”) is the driving force and the working group of the Campaign. As a group, the Cabinet helps establish campaign strategies and directions, evaluates campaign progress, and works as a team to engage potential donors to make the vision a reality. As individuals, Cabinet members are asked to:
• Attend meetings of the Campaign Cabinet, typically every 4-6 weeks 101
• Identify potential donors to the project
• Open doors to individuals and funding organizations who may become donors • Be familiar with the campaign Case for Support
• Engage directly with potential donors to make them aware of the project, the needs of the organization’s clients, and the organization’s role in addressing those needs • Ask for gifts, or, accompany other Cabinet members or staff on gift conversations • Make a personal gift to the project, commensurate with one’s highest current giving priorities • Serve for the duration of the campaign, projected at 12-18 months

HONORARY ADVISORY GROUP
Honorary Advisors bring visibility, prestige and know-how to the project. As a virtual committee the Honorary Advisory group does not meet. Rather, Honorary Advisors are asked to:
• Allow for the use of their name in association with the project • Identify and open doors to potential donors and other project supporters • Serve as a resource to the campaign in one’s area of expertise or influence • Consider making a gift to the project
“SHADOW” ADVISORS
Shadow leaders are those who wish to help support the campaign behind the scenes and generally don’t attend meetings. They are asked to or offer to make important connections and/or accompany on gift conversations. 102

BUILT IN 1926, SAN ANSELMO’S MEMORIAL PARK HAS LONG BEEN THE HEART OF LOCAL LIFE —A PLACE WHERE FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS GATHER TO PLAY, PICNIC, CELEBRATE AND CONNECT. FOR NEARLY A CENTURY, THIS CHERISHED GREEN SPACE HAS SERVED AS OUR SHARED BACKYARD AND THE SETTING FOR COUNTLESS MILESTONES AND EVENTS.

MEMORIAL PARK
—Our Shared Backyard
After nearly a decade of planning and steady progress, we now have an exciting opportunity: to complete the final phase of the Memorial Park Master Plan. This transformation will elevate Memorial Park from a well-used town park to a vibrant, inclusive destination for all who live, visit and do business in San Anselmo.

From Good to Great:

The Power of Public-Private Partnership
Our town has already witnessed the powerful results of
collaboration between residents, businesses and public
agencies—seen in the creation of Imagination Park on San Anselmo Avenue and the wonderfully successful summer
series “Live on the Avenue.” These projects demonstrate what’s possible when local passion and public investment align.

Across Marin and beyond, thriving towns understand a key truth:
public funding covers the basics, but the addition of private support makes spaces exceptional.
104
What’s Already Been Achieved
Over the past few years, the Town has invested over $2 million into Memorial Park. Essential upgrades already completed include:
n Renovated athletic fields
n Rehabilitated Millennium Playground
n New walking paths
n Upgraded picnic areas
n Complete parking lot renovation
These improvements ensure safety and usability—but they are just the beginning. Functionality isn’t our ceiling; it’s our foundation.
“I love that the community
comes together at Memorial
Park, and I also love the
access to tennis, basketball
courts and the playground
for my kids. It’s multiuse,
serving many activities and
age groups.”
—SAN ANSELMO RESIDENT

The Town Listened — Here’s What Residents Want
In 2024, through townwide engagement, residents shared a clear and collective vision for Memorial Park’s future. Common themes emerged:

A YEAR-ROUND GATHERING SPACE. A desire for infrastructure that supports seasonal and yearround programming—concerts, speaker series, cultural events and celebrations.

A PLACE FOR ALL AGES. Spaces that encourage connection across generations—from toddlers to teens, parents to seniors.

MODERN, INCLUSIVE

AMENITIES
The next phase of park
improvements will include:
n New pickleball, tennis, and
multi-use courts
for futsal and basketball
n New centralized, accessible
restrooms
n Shaded seating and
gathering areas
n ADA-compliant pathways
and features
n A modern refresh of the
old “snack shack”
n Event-ready spaces for large
and small gatherings
n Promenade-style trees and
landscaping that enhance
beauty, comfort and create
a strong sense of place

This is where we come in.

By contributing to this effort, we can play a key role in shaping the town’s future—not just by improving a park, but by creating a place that brings people together, supports wellness and defines San Anselmo’s identity for decades to come.

Friends of San Anselmo Parks, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was created to help residents support local parks and recreational programs through charitable giving. All gifts to this campaign will be tax-deductible and will be directed to Friends of San Anselmo Parks.

The Town has pledged ongoing maintenance to ensure this investment is protected for generations.

Why Now? Two Compelling Reasons

PEOPLE NEED PLACES TO CONNECT
Now more than ever, we need spaces that encourage real
connection. Parks like Memorial are antidotes to stress, isolation and screen fatigue. They are vital to public health—physical, mental and emotional.

THE COST OF DELAY IS REAL
Construction costs continue to rise. Acting now means we can achieve the vision without incurring unnecessary future expense.

The Invitation
Today, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to reimagine this space—not just for ourselves, but for everyone who will live, play and gather here in the century to come.

Let’s make it a place we’re proud to call our own.

San Anselmo Memorial Park
“Our downtown already
shines brightly in Marin. Now
it’s Memorial Park’s turn to
become the community’s
other gathering place—
whether for pickleball,
tennis, basketball, ballgames,
playground adventures,
picnics, enjoying nature, or
walking the dog. That’s how
we take something good and
make it great.”
—SAN ANSELMO RESIDENT,

NISH NADARAJA
A Campaign to Complete the Vision
The overall cost of the Memorial Park Master Plan improvements is estimated to be $9 million.

The Town has committed $3 million toward this final phase, on top of the $2 million already spent on earlier improvements.

That leaves a $4 million funding gap to be closed by private contributions. 107

Philanthropic Investment in Municipal Parks & Capital
Facilities
Regions Covered
Bay Area • Sacramento Region • North Coast • Santa Cruz • Monterey Purpose
This report documents quantifiable evidence of philanthropic investment from community members, donors, and merchants into municipal parks and capital facilities across Northern California. The focus is on identifiable nonprofit vehicles (parks foundations, conservancies, and friends groups) that raise private dollars in support of public assets.

Data sources include publicly available IRS Form 990 filings, nonprofit financial summaries (e.g., ProPublica / CauseIQ), and publicly reported annual reports. Annual “grants and contributions” are used as the most consistent proxy for philanthropic investment.

BAY AREA
San Francisco
• San Francisco Parks Alliance – Fiscal sponsor for dozens of neighborhood park and open-space capital projects
o Approx. $9.35M in total grants & contributions (FY 2023) • Francisco Park Conservancy – Capital redevelopment of Francisco Park o Approx. $1.43M in grants & contributions (FY 2023)
Oakland
• Oakland Parks & Recreation Foundation – Citywide parks and recreation facilities o Approx. $1.55M in grants & contributions (FY 2024)
• Lake Merritt Institute – Stewardship and improvements around Lake Merritt o Approx. $319K in total revenue (2024)
Berkeley
• Berkeley Partners for Parks – Supports city parks and recreation programs o Approx. $129K in total revenue (2024)
Peninsula / San Mateo County
• San Mateo County Parks Foundation – Countywide parks and capital improvements • Friends of Huddart & Wunderlich Parks
109
o Approx. $160K in grants & contributions
• Redwood City Parks & Arts Foundation – City parks, recreation, and cultural facilities South Bay
• San Jose Parks Foundation – City parks, trails, and recreation assets o Approx. $374K in grants & contributions (FY 2023)
• Friends of the Palo Alto Parks
o Approx. $26K in grants & contributions (FY 2023)
• Moraga Park Foundation
o Approx. $52K in grants & contributions (FY 2023)
North Bay (Napa / Sonoma)
• Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation
o Approx. $1.45M in grants & contributions (FY 2024)
• American Canyon Community & Parks Foundation (Napa County) o Approx. $525K in grants & contributions (FY 2023)

SACRAMENTO REGION
• Sacramento Parks Foundation – Supports regional park improvements o Example filing shows ~$10K in contributions (FY 2020); other years vary • Parks California (statewide but Sacramento-based; frequent municipal park partner) o Approx. $2.47M in grants & contributions (FY 2024)

NORTH COAST
• Redwood Parks Conservancy (Crescent City / Del Norte County) o Approx. $607K in grants & contributions (FY 2024)
• Fort Ross Conservancy (Sonoma Coast) – Historic park capital and visitor facilities • Mendocino Area Parks Association – Local parks and coastal access support

SANTA CRUZ REGION
• Mountain Parks Foundation (Santa Cruz County) – County parks and post-fire recovery o Approx. $434K in grants & contributions (FY 2024)

MONTEREY REGION
• Parks Foundation of Monterey County – Countywide parks and recreation support 110
• Point Lobos Foundation – Capital and visitor facility improvements o Approx. $739K in grants & contributions (FY 2023)

KEY FINDINGS / BENCHMARKS
• Large cities and counties commonly raise $1–1.5M annually in philanthropic support for parks.
• Regional park districts and conservancies often operate in the high six to multi-million dollar range annually.
• Smaller towns typically raise $25K–$150K per year, often focused on discrete playgrounds, fields, or beautification projects.
• Philanthropy is most commonly structured through independent nonprofit foundations or fiscal sponsors, rather than flowing directly into municipal budgets.

NOTES ON INTERPRETATION
• Annual contributions do not always equal capital-only spending; many organizations support both capital projects and programming.
• Capital campaign totals are often documented separately in city staff reports, MOUs, or project webpages and can be layered on in a future phase.

Prepared for planning, benchmarking, and policy discussion purposes.

Appendix A: Philanthropic Investment in Public Libraries, Parks, and Community Facilities (Marin County)
Purpose
This appendix provides recent, verifiable evidence of philanthropic investment in public libraries, parks, and community facilities in Marin County to inform campaign feasibility and expectations. Data reflect the most recent five-year period (FY2021–FY2025) and rely on publicly available IRS Form 990 filings and foundation financial summaries, which represent the most consistent proxy for private philanthropic support.

Summary Table (FY2021–FY2025)
Libraries - Marin County Library Foundation (countywide): approximately $165,000 in philanthropic contributions in FY2024; contributions comprise the majority of annual revenue. - Friends of the Marin County Free Library (countywide): approximately $233,000 in FY2024 (FY2023: ~$183,000), reflecting steady annual private support. - Belvedere–Tiburon Library 111
Foundation (local district): approximately $207,000 in FY2024 and $585,000 in FY2025, illustrating campaign-driven fluctuation.

Parks and Open Space - Marin County Parks accepts and deploys private gifts for park restoration, programming, and capital improvements. While gifts are formally documented, totals are not aggregated in a single public annual report. - Marin Community Foundation – Open Space and Parks Fund provides a donor-directed vehicle for philanthropic support benefiting Marin County parks; annual totals are not publicly itemized but confirm an established philanthropy channel.

Community Centers and Civic Facilities - In Marin County, philanthropic investment in community centers most often occurs through time-limited campaigns or public–private initiatives (e.g., San Rafael library/community center efforts), rather than through permanent foundations with standardized annual reporting.

Key Implications for Feasibility
• Private philanthropy for public assets is established and active in Marin County, particularly for libraries, where multiple organizations consistently raise six-figure annual contributions.
• Parks and open space philanthropy is present but decentralized, typically routed through county gift programs or community foundations rather than a single parks foundation.
• Campaign-scale gifts and multi-year fluctuations are normal, especially when capital improvements or facility upgrades are involved.

Conclusion
Recent financial records demonstrate that Marin County residents and donors regularly contribute private philanthropic dollars to improve public libraries, parks, and civic assets.

These patterns align with broader Northern California norms and support the feasibility of incorporating a philanthropic component alongside public funding for municipal capital projects.

RECOMMENDATION: Receive an update on the 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report and the 2025 Annual Housing Element Progress Report, authorize staff to send the Report to the State Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) and State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD), and provide feedback on future Housing Element implementation actions.

BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 65400 requires each local jurisdiction to prepare an annual report on the status of the General Plan and progress toward implementation of the Housing Element. These reports, the General Plan Annual Progress Report (GPAPR) (Attachment 1) and the Housing Element Annual Progress Report (HEAPR) (Attachment 2), must be submitted to the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of each year for the prior calendar year.

State law also requires that the reports be presented to the local governing body (i.e., the Town Council). Following Town Council review, staff will submit the reports to LCI and HCD to meet the April 1, 2026, deadline for the 2025 reporting period. If directed by the Town Council, staff may revise and resubmit the reports to LCI and HCD at any time.

The State uses the GPAPR to understand how local planning activities align with statewide planning goals and policies. The HEAPR describes the Town’s progress in implementing the Housing Element programs during the 2025 reporting period. 118
Item #: 2.2
The report documents local housing production by affordability level, implementation of Housing Element programs, and efforts to remove governmental constraints to housing development. It also includes a summary of the Town’s progress toward meeting its eightyear Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation.

DISCUSSION
Although the GPAPR and HEAPR are State-mandated reports for long-range policy documents, they also serve as useful tools for providing the Town Council and the community with an annual update on implementation of the General Plan’s, including the Housing Element’s goals and policies.

The attached reports summarize the Town’s progress in implementing the General Plan for calendar year 2025 and track progress on Housing Elements programs during the 6th cycle planning period.1
Review of Housing Production to Meet Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Table 1, displayed below, lists the Town’s RHNA for the 6th cycle planning period:

1 Data in this column provides the number of permitted units issued between June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022.
2 These units are accessory dwelling units, which have been identified as naturally occurring affordable housing. Staff has used the Association of Bay Area Governments’ 30/30/30/10 methodology to estimate the percentage of ADUs affordable to different income categories, in conformance with the State’s methodology published in the 2025 Housing Element APR Instructions.

Review of Housing Element Goals, Objectives, Policies, and Programs Summary Staff has analyzed the past performance of policies and programs in the 2023-2031 Housing Element (see Table D in Attachment 2).

This analysis describes the Town’s progress in implementing the programs in the 2023- 2031 Housing Element. Key housing accomplishments in 2025 reporting period of the 6th Cycle planning period include:
• The Town continued its General Plan Update process, including drafting the updated land use map (September 2025) and finalizing draft goals, policies, and actions (GPAs), along with supporting narrative, for all General Plan elements except the Housing Element (November and December 2025).
• Adoption of Ordinance No. 2025-1188, amending the Town’s ADU/JADU Ordinance to align with amendments made to the State ADU/JADU law. • Adoption of Ordinance No. 2025-1190 amending the Zoning Code, implementing Housing Element actions by updating the Planned Development framework, reforming parking standards per Assembly Bill (AB) 2097, amending the Affordable Housing Overlay Zone, clarifying allowed housing types, and simplifying approvals for minor accessibility modifications and lot line adjustments.
• Adoption of Ordinance No. 2025-1193, repealing and replacing the Town’s Urban Lot Splits and Two-Unit Development in Single-Family Zones Ordinance, to bring the Town’s Municipal Code into compliance with SB 450 by repealing outdated SB 9 provisions, accurately renaming the Chapter, and aligning local standards with State law.
• Adoption of Resolution No. 2025-4571 to proclaim April 2025 as Fair Housing Month. 120
Item #: 2.2
Review of General Plan Progress Reports
The Town has made steady progress in implementing the policies of the General Plan.

Of the 59 policies, 11 have yet to be implemented (Attachment 1). Examples include establishing a Traffic Mitigation Fee Plan, preparing a Historic Preservation Sites and Structures Inventory, creating a Riparian and Wildlife Conservation Reserve, developing View Protection Zones, adopting a Transfer of Development Rights policy and an Assessment Freeze Policy, preparing an Agricultural/Rural Management Plan, and coordinating with Marin County to establish a countywide noise abatement program.

Ongoing and Future Items for Consideration (2026 Work Program) As the Town continues implementing the 2023–2031 Housing Element, Planning staff will be working in 2026 to advance programs and policy tools that support housing production, preservation, and affordability. Staff also continue to review the Municipal Code and identify minor code updates that remove barriers to housing development and improve clarity and consistency with State law.

Ongoing Housing Element implementation actions include:
• Affordable Housing Strategy Study. The Town, in collaboration with other Marin County jurisdictions and using 2025 REAP funding, has engaged Cascadia Partners to identify affordable housing production and preservation strategies. This study covers adaptive reuse, property tax incentives, right of first refusal, and housing preservation tools. It is ongoing and feeds into multiple programs (Actions 1.2b, 4.1a–c, 4.4a–b, 4.5a). • Non-Profit Outreach & Infill Builder Partnerships. The Town continues to coordinate with non-profit affordable housing developers and advocates and co-hosted two Infill Builders events with the Council of Infill Builders in 2025 to identify strategies to reduce regulatory barriers and promote infill and missing-middle housing production. (Actions

1.1c, 1.2c)
• ADU Program Expansion. The Town continues to support ADU production in San Anselmo: The County wide ADU Center provides technical assistance countywide, preapproved ADU program, offering expedited plan review, updated ordinances to comply with current State law (Ordinance 1188), (Actions 5.1a–b, 6.1a–c, 6.2b–f) Housing Element actions planned for implementation include the following:
• Evaluation of Town-Owned Properties for Housing. Conduct a review of Town-owned properties that may be suitable for housing development, prioritizing affordable and multi-family housing opportunities. Potential incentives could include site prioritization, streamlined approvals, or waivers of certain development standards or permit fees (Actions 1.2b, 4.1a–b, 1.3c).
• Rehabilitation Partnerships. Explore further opportunities to partner with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity to host a community “Rehab Day” focused on improving housing conditions for lower-income residents and seniors (Action 7.2b). • ADU Home Match Program. Explore establishing a home-match program that connects ADU owners with renters in the community, such as local employees, seniors, or people looking to stay close to family in San Anselmo. Programs like this can help homeowners find reliable tenants while making better use of existing homes and creating more small-scale rental opportunities within established neighborhoods. (Action 5.1a-b)
121
Item #: 2.2
• Consider participation in the Firewise USA Community, as recognized by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) (Action 8.2c).

In addition to the above, staff is seeking Town Council direction on the following:

Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ownership Opportunities (AB 1033). Assembly Bill 1033 (Ting, 2023) allows cities and towns to adopt a local ordinance that would permit ADUs to be sold separately from the primary home, similar to a condominium. This could create opportunities for smaller, more attainable homeownership options within existing neighborhoods, such as homes for young adults who grew up in the community, local workers, or older residents looking to downsize while staying close to family and community. Adoption of an AB 1033 ordinance is optional and would require local implementation. Staff is seeking Council feedback on whether the Town should explore preparing an ordinance to allow the separate sale of ADUs under AB 1033. (Supports Actions 4.1b, 5.1a-b, 7.1c)

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with Town Council review and Town submission of the Housing Element APR with HCD and LCI.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
This report is consistent with Action 1.2a in the Adopted 2023-2031 Housing Element, which requires the Town to provide an annual report to the Town Council for review of progress on Housing Element programs.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
This report is categorically exempt from environmental review under California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15306, which states that information collection activities are exempt from the provisions of the act.

LAND USE ELEMENT

1. Code Revisions – Zoning Ordinance and Map Partially implemented.

The top priority for implementation would be the revision of San Anselmo's Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map to be
consistent with the revised general plan. Ordinance
amendments would include rewriting the residential and
commercial sections of the code to incorporate the density and intensity provisions of the revised general plan.

X
The Zoning Ordinance was
updated to be consistent with
General Plan in 1991 (Ordinance
917) and has been periodically
amended since then for
conformance with State law, best
practices, and the community
vision. The Zoning Map was
updated in 1991 and has been
periodically updated since then.

The digital GIS zoning map was
updated in 2016 and again in 2024
and 2025 to align with the 2023-
2031 Housing Element. The Town
Council adopted an Open Space
land use designation and
amendments to the General Plan
Land Use Element and General
Plan Land Use Map for open space
parcels via Resolution No. 4297
and an Open Space zoning
designation and amendments to
the Zoning Map for open space
parcels via Ordinance No. 1138 in
2019. The Zoning Ordinance was
be updated to incorporate 2015
voter-approved Measure D
“Parklands” Memorial Park policies.

Additional amendments to the
Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map
are anticipated as part of the
Town’s comprehensive General
Plan Update, which was kicked off
at the Town Council meeting on
November 14, 2023, and is
expected to conclude in Fall 2026.

Updating the parking requirements of the code
X
The parking requirements were
updated in 1991 (Ordinance 917).

Accessory dwelling unit (ADU)
parking standards were revised in
2017, 2019, 2020, and 2023 to
allow more flexibility for ADU
parking in conformance with State
law.

Parking standards were amended
in 2023 via Ordinances No. 1179
and 1184, and in 2025 via
Ordinance 2025-1190.

Providing a Housing Opportunity section in the code.

X
The 2023-2031 Housing Element
identifies housing opportunity
areas.

Special provisions could be written into the code to provide that existing uses with a density or intensity of use greater than the revised plan could continue as legal permitted uses. X State law permits nonconforming
multifamily residential uses to
continue. Town nonconforming use
regulations permit continuation of
legal nonconforming uses.
1-2. Code Revisions – Subdivision Ordinance
The subdivision ordinance should be reviewed and updated to conform with the Subdivision Map Act.

The ordinance can be modified to require a developer to pay certain impact fees to cover the costs to the community that are directly attributable to the development.

X
The Subdivision Ordinance was
updated in 1983. Staff reviews
current provisions in Subdivision
Map Act when processing
applications for subdivision.

Town may impose impact fees as
conditions of approval for
development projects, subject to
State Government Code and
applicable law.

1. Affordable Housing Overlay Areas Map - The Town will conduct a more detailed study of existing land uses and parcel sizes in the designated High Density Residential, General Commercial, and other areas to determine which sites are most appropriate as affordable housing areas. The objective of the study is to map X

parcels which are considered appropriate Affordable Housing Overlay sites.

2. Central Commercial Circulation and Parking Study - The Town will conduct a study of the traffic circulation and parking activity in the Central Commercial area. The purpose of the study is to develop a program to improve traffic circulation, parking opportunities, and evolve a method to finance any needed improvements. Businesses in the area will be invited to participate in the study.

X
Public Works - Engineering and
Inspection Department staff
completed an informal parking
occupancy study in 2019. Following
the Covid-19 pandemic, the Town
prepared the Downtown Parking
Study. An updated presentation
and recommended signage and
wayfinding, parking enforcement,
and fees were presented to the
Town Council in October 2023. In
February 2025, the Town Council
directed staff to move forward with
implementation of the baseline
improvement recommendations
featured in the Downtown San
Anselmo Active Transportation
Safety and Circulation Study.

3. Design Review in the Single-Family Residential-Conservation Category - Prior to enacting an ordinance to implement the objectives of the Single-Family Residential-Conservation area the Town will conduct studies and hold workshops to determine when and where the discretionary power of design review will be used for new development on vacant lots, and when design review will be required for proposed expansion or reconstruction of existing buildings in the area. The staffing requirements to implement these objectives will also be studied. The purpose of the study is to determine the degree of flexibility which will be incorporated into the ordinance.

X
The Zoning Ordinance was
updated to be consistent with
General Plan in 1991 (Ordinance
917).

4. Historic Preservation Ordinance - The Town will prepare a historic preservation ordinance which will not only protect the visual and design character of existing historic buildings in the community, but will establish a procedure and guidelines for new building construction in areas of the community which contain examples of San Anselmo's architectural heritage.

X
Partially completed. No specific
historic preservation ordinance has
been adopted locally. However, the
Town requires a Conditional Use
Permit to demolish a building
(Ordinance 1021, 2001). The Town
also requires Design Review for all
new buildings not subject to State
streamlining provisions. Decision

makers consider the potential
historic significance of any building
50 years or older that is subject to
discretionary review, under the
California Environmental Quality
Act.

No procedures and guidelines
specifically for new buildings in
areas with architectural heritage.

5. Park Land Zoning Ordinance - The Town shall prepare a park lands zoning ordinance, which shall apply to all park lands so designated on the General Plan land use map. The ordinance will implement and be consistent with the General Plan land use criteria for Parks set forth in Section E.3 of the Land Use Element.

X
Added by Measure D, which was
passed by voters in November
2015.

The Town Council adopted an
Open Space land use designation
and amendments to the General
Plan Land Use Element and
General Plan Land Use Map via
Resolution No. 4297 and an Open
Space zoning designation and
amendments to the Zoning Map for
open space parcels via Ordinance
No. 1138 in 2019.

CIRCULATION ELEMENT

1. Zoning Ordinance Rewrite - The parking requirements section of the zoning ordinance shall be reviewed and revised to implement the concept, objectives, and policies of the circulation element. The parking standards should be revised to
accommodate planned land use and today's smaller sized
automobiles.

X
Parking requirements updated in
1991 (Ordinance 917) and
amended since that time.

2. Commercial Area Parking Study - The Town in conjunction with representatives of the local business community should establish a committee to study the parking problems in the commercial areas, and recommend a solution including funding that is agreeable to all parties involved. Special attention should be given to the concept of creating additional shared parking among all businesses. The study should focus on both the Central Business District and the Greenfield commercial areas.

The parking study did not focus on
the Greenfield commercial area
and this work is delayed due to
focus on Downtown Parking Study
implementation.

3. Funding of Roadway, Bikeway, and Pedestrian Improvements All new developments which require roadway modifications or improvements will be required to install and finance the entire cost of all these improvements.

X
Considered on a case-by-case
basis with development projects.

Long-term improvements expected along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Center Boulevard, Butterfield Road, Red Hill Road, and local residential streets may be financed by gas tax funds, transportation grants, and other public monies. X Long-term improvements continue
to be developed on streets through
the Town’s Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP). The most recent 5-year
CIP was adopted in 2024.

However, should the available funding not be adequate to install the necessary improvements, the Town may establish a traffic mitigation fee plan which estimates the cost of all improvements desired and charges each new development
or improvement a fee based upon the number of trips it
generates to the area during the peak hour. These fees will be used to help finance and pay the debt on improvements.

The Town will and must seek the cooperation of the Town of Fairfax and the County of Marin in charging similar fees to finance improvements needed along Sir Francis Drake
Boulevard, Center Boulevard, Butterfield Road, and Red Hill Road.

X
Due to inadequate funds to
implement major roadway
improvements, no comprehensive
long term improvement plan has
been adopted and no traffic
mitigation fee to implement the plan
has been adopted. Separately, the
Town adopted a Road Impact Fee
in 2002 per Resolution No. 3619 to
provide for the repair and
maintenance of damaged streets
and roads caused by construction
activity.

4. Development Review Process - The Town will establish a development review process which requires all new development proposals of a medium or large scale to submit a traffic study with their applications which discusses the impact of the proposed development on the street system, and its conformance with the circulation objectives and policies of the plan. The cost of the study will be borne by the applicant, but will be conducted by a traffic consultant retained by the Town, or as part of an EIR prepared on the proposed project.

X
This requirement is levied upon
projects subject to discretionary
review.

The Town updated its standards in
2023 to comply with SB 743 and to
implement a new Vehicle Miles
Traveled CEQA analysis, via Town
Council Resolution No. 4478.

17.1 Zero Emission Vehicle readiness. Provide a foundation for electric vehicle implementation efforts, including investments in electric vehicle infrastructure and guidance for ongoing Town initiatives, by preparing an Electric Vehicle Strategy. The strategy should establish a framework for near-term actions that support longer-term mobility goals and initiatives, including, but not limited to, Town policy on costs and fees for Town charging stations, regulations for residential and workplace electric vehicle readiness, and policies for conversion of the Town vehicle fleet.

X
The Electric Vehicle Strategy was
adopted in 2019, and the policy for
charging stations was adopted in
2020.

OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
The Town will review the comprehensive list of open space parcels contained in Appendix A of the General Plan, and will evolve a prioritized list of parcels to hopefully acquire if funding can be found or generated through private interest groups or initiative efforts.

Implementation policies in Open Space Element discuss methods for property acquisition and funding.

X
A number of the properties included
in the Open Space Element have
been protected or developed.

The Town Council adopted an
Open Space land use designation
in the Land Use Element and
assigned parcels to the designation
in the General Plan Land Use Map
in 2019. As of 2024, the Town
Open Space Committee and Town
staff coordinated on the update of
the Open Space Element as part of
the General Plan Update to reflect
properties acquired and developed;
reconsider priorities; update
acquisition and protection
strategies to reflect current law; and
to ensure adequate policies are in

Memorial Park Master Plan, which
includes Isabel Cook School and
was recently amended in 2024,
identifies Isabel Cook as a
community center. All
improvements identified in the
Memorial Park Master Plan are not
yet complete.

2. Park and Recreation offices should be located at the Isabel Cook School or moved into quarters vacated by other civic functions, depending on the Town Hall site alternatives finally chosen. Memorial Park would still require an office, but Isabel Cook School's multi-purpose building would provide more space.

Recreation offices are currently
located at the Isabel Cook School.

The community's needs for a swimming pool, tennis courts, and adjacent play fields could be met at Sorich Ranch provided these facilities could be made compatible with the open space amenities of the rest of the area. Other possibilities which should be explored in providing for these needs are the possible acquisition of the entire Isabel Cook School site or acquisition of the Fairfax X
In 1946, San Anselmo voters
turned down a bond to fund a
municipal swimming pool.

On July 27, 1993, the Town
adopted the Master Plan for Sorich
Ranch Park. The Master Plan

promotes passive recreational
activities does not incorporate a
pool, tennis court or fields.

In April 2009, the Red Hill
Community Park was opened to the
public and operates under a Joint
Use Agreement with the Tamalpais
High School District for use of the
John Wright Athletic Fields and
Red Hill Community Dog Park.

A master plan for Memorial Park
was approved in 2018 and
amended in 2024. The Town seeks
funding to implement the plan. A
tax to fund the plan was rejected by
voters in 2019.

4. Neighborhood mini-parks and playgrounds should be acquired for the Hawthorn Hills, Sequoia Park, and Hilldale areas of the Town.

X
Starting in 2017, residents of the
Hilldale area sought Town
permission to convert Town land
near United Market into a
neighborhood pocket park. The
park opened in 2023. No other
pocket parks are in the
development pipeline as of 2025.

5. Public art of a durable kind should be an addition to the Town park system.

X
The Town has incorporated art into
public parks including the Millennial
Playground. The Town approved a
public art project to paint utility
boxes in 2020. In 2023, the Town
approved a new program to permit
murals in San Anselmo. In 2024,
the Town approved active
transportation improvements at the
Hub which included public art
components in the project design.

6. The Log Cabin site adjacent to Memorial Park should be incorporated into the park, when surplus to the needs of the present owner.

X
This has not yet been completed.

7. Resting spaces along trails and street approaches to trails and bikeways should be part of the recreational facilities provided in support of public non-auto use of open spaces. This would be even further facilitated by trailhead and bikeway terminal amenities.

X
The Town approved three benches
along the Red Hill Trail in 2021,
installed by an Eagle Scout
candidate.

Public Facilities

1. Town administration, public works, and public safety functions are presently conducted in inadequate or rented space.

Recommendations for alleviating this condition are: X
All Town offices are located in the
upper level of Town Hall at 525 San
Anselmo Avenue. The Public
Works corporation yard is located
at the end of San Francisco
Avenue.
a. Relocate the present Fire Department headquarters and Firehouse No. 1 to the corner of San Rafael Avenue and
San Anselmo Avenue. Firehouse No. 2 on Butterfield will remain at its present location.

X
The Town Fire Department
headquarters on San Anselmo
Avenue was redeveloped and
completed in 2010.
b. The present Town Hall site should be expanded by the acquisition of 15 Magnolia Avenue, plus perhaps the five parcels between City Hall Avenue, Library Place, and
Tunstead Avenue. X
15 Magnolia was acquired by the
Town in 1975 and is improved as a
parking lot for Town staff, Police,
and Sheriff. The five other parcels
remain in private ownership.
c. A further acquisition of the business properties between the present Town Hall site, Magnolia and San Anselmo
avenues should be explored for future acquisition to square off the Town's government center, particularly if other public functions are to be accommodated in the Town.

X
No other property has been
acquired by the Town.

The property at 535 San Anselmo
Avenue was donated to the Town
of in 2013 and has been developed
into “Imagination Park.”

d. City Hall Avenue adjacent to the Civic Center site should be closed and made a part of the Center.

X
The Town vacated City Hall
Avenue for street purposes
between San Anselmo Avenue and
Library place in 1975 by Resolution
1629 and 1976 Resolution 1661
and retained ownership of the area.

Area used for Town Hall parking
and pedestrian path and
landscaping.
e. Library Place should be extended as appropriate to serve the public facilities area. X
This has not been completed.
f. The present corporation yard and municipal shop should be made visually compatible with the Sorich Ranch Park
setting by use of fencing, landscaping, and the demolition of obsolete and visually disturbing buildings. One
possibility which should be explored further in capital improvement programming would be to leave the site as a corporation yard only and farm out auto maintenance.

X
The new corporation yard building
was constructed, and
improvements are made as funding
available.

The Town approved a Low Impact
Development Project to provide a
solid surface for collecting green
waste and prevent stormwater
pollution.

2. Sanitary Service. The present collection system is operating near capacity. Population growth should not exceed the progress made in bringing the sanitary sewer system up to regional standards and expanding its capacity for collection and treatment of wastes.

X
Ross Valley Sanitary District
continues to fund improvement of
sanitary sewer system. Sanitary
District indicates they have
adequate capacity for planned
development.

3. Storm Drainage and Flood Control. The natural appearance and runoff capacity of stream channels should be protected, preserved, and enhanced by the development of small
improvements (e.g., small earth-fill dams for storm water retention) and landscaping rather than a major flood-control project such as the concrete channel in lower Corte Madera Creek. The channel lines on both sides of San Anselmo Creek should be protected from encroachment by development.

X
The Town addresses stormwater
drainage and flood control through
the Marin County Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Program
(MCSTOPPP). The Town, along
with each MCSTOPPP member
agency, implements a local
stormwater pollution prevention
program and funds the countywide
MCSTOPPP, which provides for
the coordination and consistency of
approaches between the local
stormwater programs.

NOISE ELEMENT (from 1976 General Plan)

1. Promulgate information to all residents of the need for and methods of obtaining reduced noise levels. X
Construction and leaf blower
regulations are advertised in
handouts, Town email, and the web
site.

2. Adopt, budget for, and enforce an effective noise ordinance and other ordinances relating to noise reduction.

X
Town Noise Ordinance was
adopted in 1975 (Ordinance 685).

Restrictions on leaf blowers were
added in 1993 and 1994
(Ordinances 951 and 957)
Construction day and time limits
were added in 1997 and updated in
2007 (Ordinances 983 and 1059)
Gas powered leaf blower
prohibition and new operating
hours were adopted in 2021
(Ordinance 1158) and in effect in
2022; additional landscape
equipment regulations (Ordinance
1173) were passed in 2022 and
became effective on January 1,
2024.

3. The Town shall cooperate in the establishment of a countywide program of noise abatement when it has been developed.

X
No Countywide program of noise
abatement has been developed.

However, Town staff has been
discussing coordinating a noise
ordinance update with other
jurisdictions under the Central
Marin Police Authority or as part of
the General Plan Update, which
was initiated in late 2023 and
expected to conclude in Fall 2026.

4. The Town will work actively with the California Highway Patrol to police noise levels on moving vehicles.

X
California law requires that all
vehicles must be equipped with an
adequate muffler to prevent
excessive noise from the exhaust
system. The Vehicle Code has
provisions related to vehicle noise
that would be enforced by law
enforcement.

SCENIC HIGHWAYS (PARKWAY) ELEMENT (from 1976 General Plan)

1. San Anselmo has three entryways, all of which could be improved by landscaping, improved signing, lighting, and other outdoor design features.

X
In 2000, the Town funded a
downtown beautification project
that included new trees and
landscaping.

The 5-year Capital Improvement
Plan adopted in 2024 includes
funding for improvements for
pedestrians along Sir Francis
Drake Boulevard and other hightraffic roadways in San Anselmo.

The Town Council adopted a
Median Master Plan in 2018. The
Red Hill Avenue median project
has been funded by a donation and
completed in 2020. Other median
landscaping costs are not yet
identified or funded.

The Town Economic Development
Plan (2018, page 26) includes an

2. Divided highways in the planning area should have their landscaping, lighting, and street furniture upgraded in keeping with a common design theme that will visually signal that one has arrived and is moving through a different community.

Conduct quarterly coordination calls to
establish open, ongoing communication. Quarterly; Case-by-case basis 6th Cycle Continuous In 2024, the Town created a list of non-profit affordable housing developers and affordable housing advocates (e.g., EAH Housing, BRIDGE, The Pacific Group) and used that list to reach out to the non-profits to advertise housing development opportunities. In 2025, San Anselmo and other Marin County jurisdictions co-hosted two Infill Builders events (April 17 and October 17) with the Council of Infill Builders that brought together local housing developers and public agencies to identify practical strategies to address the region’s housing shortage.

The discussions emphasized reducing regulatory barriers, improving project feasibility, and promoting infill and missing-middle housing, with a focus on predictable, objective standards and calibrated fees to support housing production. The Council of Infill Builders summarized these strategies in Accelerating Infill in Marin County:

Solutions to Increase Housing Opportunities (October 2025). As projects arise, the Town will continue to reach out to the organizations that would benefit from feedback from this stakeholder group.

ensure no net loss of housing occurs.

July 2023; Annually 6th Cycle Continuous
Within the Town’s online permitting software, eTRAKiT, the Town has established a mechanism that categorizes permits that result in the removal of a housing unit. This mechanism allows Planning Department staff to monitor the removal of housing units on an ongoing basis to ensure that no net loss of housing occurs.

No net loss of housing has occurred, so the Town has not needed to recommend zoning adjustments to the Town Council to ensure no net loss of housing.

Other 1 None
Action 1.3b: Develop an online dashboard that includes a mechanism that monitors "no net loss", ADU production, potential sites, production of affordable and market rate housing, and preserved housing supply.

assign a Planning Department staff
person to update it regularly for
improved transparency on Housing
Element implementation and
streamlined annual reporting.

Action 3.1c: Adopt pre-approved infill missing middle housing plans to reduce development costs and streamline the approval of missing middle housing.

Adopt pre-approved infill missing middle
housing plans. 7/1/2024 6th Cycle Completed
The passage of Senate Bill (SB) 450 has effectively eliminated the Town's ability to require Design Review for new single-family and missing middle housing projects in San Anselmo. Given this change, the Town expects that most new housing of this type will seek ministerial approval under SB 9 and SB 450. Rather than rushing to adopt pre-approved infill missing middle housing plans without fully understanding how these new State regulations will shape local development patterns, the Town is taking a deliberate approach. In 2025, the Town evaluated the impacts of SB 9 and SB 450 on actual development proposals in San Anselmo to ensure that any pre-approved plans align with real-world needs. The Town adopted Ordinance No. 2025-1193 in October 2025 to align with the adopted Senate Bill 450, and implement the updated provisions of California Government Code sections 65852.21 and 66411.7. At the same time, the Town is actively implementing a pre-approved ADU plan process. This effort is providing valuable insights into the logistics, administration, and effectiveness of preapproved housing plans. Once the Town has assessed both the development impacts of recent State laws and refined its approach to pre-approved ADU plans, it will be well-positioned to develop pre-approved infill missing middle housing plans in a way that is efficient, effective, and responsive to local conditions.

Action 4.1c: When housing developments are identified as “at-risk” of converting from affordable to market- rate, work with MHA to reduce the potential of conversion and preserve or replace units, as needed, through the following strategies:
•Monitor the status of “at risk” units pursuant to Action

4.1d. If property owners indicate the desire to convert the units, consider providing technical assistance, when possible, to support preservation of the “at risk” units at an affordable price. •Work with Marin Housing Authority and other agencies and non-profits to seek funding to subsidize the long-term affordability of the “at risk” units.

To reduce displacement risk and in accordance with California Government Code Section 65583.2(g), require replacement housing units subject to the requirements of California Government Code Section 65915(c)(3) on sites identified in the sites inventory when any new development (residential, mixed-use, or nonresidential) occurs on a site that has been occupied by or restricted for the use of lower-income households at any time during the previous five years. This requirement applies to non-vacant sites and vacant sites with previous residential uses that have been vacated or demolished.

Actions as identified in the action and
development of housing sites by 2030 6th Cycle Continuous The Town has taken significant steps to implement Action 5.3d, actively fostering partnerships between property owners, developers, and non-profit organizations to facilitate below-market-rate and senior housing development. The Town has identified viable Housing Element Opportunity Sites and continues to advertise these opportunities to developers and builders through direct outreach and online resources. Engagement with non-profit housing developers is ongoing, with initial outreach conducted in October 2024 and continuing through 2025. In 2025, San Anselmo and other Marin County jurisdictions co-hosted two Infill Builders events (April 17 and October 17) with the Council of Infill Builders that brought together local housing developers and public agencies to identify practical strategies to address the region’s housing shortage. The discussions emphasized reducing regulatory barriers, improving project feasibility, and promoting infill and missing-middle housing, with a focus on predictable, objective standards and calibrated fees to support housing production. The Council of Infill Builders summarized these strategies in Accelerating Infill in Marin County: Solutions to Increase Housing Opportunities (October 2025). As projects arise, the Town will continue to reach out to the organizations that would benefit from feedback from this stakeholder group. The Town remains committed to supporting affordable housing projects by offering regulatory incentives, expedited processing, and fee reductions where applicable. The Town is actively working with developers to complete this action. As development proposals are received, the Town will continue to collaborate with these interested parties to conduct site planning studies, facilitate community outreach, and navigate regulatory approvals in compliance with State law. Additionally, the Town continues to pursue funding sources to support affordable housing and will ensure that future affordable units are affirmatively marketed to communities of color and other protected classes.

In 2023, the Town conducted rezonings, adopted the Objective Design and Development Standards, created a new administrative path (i.e., Minor Exception) for redevelopment/upgrades on properties requiring foundation repairs and in flood zone, and adopted new actions in the Housing Element to streamline residential development. In 2024, the Town adopted several key regulations and amendments to streamline residential development and align local policies with state requirements. These included amendments to the Objective Design and Development Standards (July 15) to better clarify the review process and enhance transparency for developers and updates to the Safety Element of the General Plan to incorporate the 2024 Marin MultiJurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and address minor corrections (August 19). Additionally, the Town adopted a policy clarifying when story poles and shadow studies are required in discretionary applications to reduce ambiguity and enhance transparency (September 16). Finally, the Planning Commission recommended to the Town Council amendments to the Town's Accessory Dwelling Units Ordinance to comply with recent changes to State housing law (December 16), demonstrating a comprehensive effort to encourage housing production. The Town will continue to assess opportunities to streamline residential development annually. In 2025 these included Adoption of Ordinance No. 1188 (March 11), amending the Town’s ADU/JADU Ordinance to align with amendments made to the State ADU/JADU law; Adoption of Ordinance No. 2025-1190 (May 27) amending the Zoning Code, implementing Housing Element actions by updating the Planned Development framework, reforming parking standards per Assembly Bill (AB) 2097, establishing an Affordable Housing Overlay Zone, clarifying allowed housing types, and simplifying approvals for minor accessibility modifications and lot line adjustments; and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2025-1193 (October 28), repealing and replacing the Town’s Urban Lot Splits and Two-Unit Development in Single-Family Zones Ordinance, to bring the Town’s Municipal Code into compliance with SB 450 by repealing outdated SB 9 provisions, accurately renaming the Chapter, and aligning local standards with State law.

Action 5.9e: Evaluate and update the design review findings in the Zoning Code to be objective in order to remove barriers to housing development. Remove and replace the following findings with objective findings:
•Is functionally and aesthetically compatible with the existing improvements and the natural elements in the surrounding area.
•Provides for protection against noise, odors, and other factors which may make the environment less desirable.
•Will not tend to cause the surrounding area to depreciate materially in appearance or value or otherwise discourage occupancy, investment, or orderly development in such area. •Will not unreasonably impair access to light and air of structures on neighboring properties. •Will not unreasonably affect the privacy of neighboring properties including not unreasonably affecting such privacy by the placement of windows, skylights and decks. •Will be of a bulk, mass and design that complements the existing character of the surrounding neighborhood.
•Adequacy of screening.
•Selection of architectural features and colors that enable the structure to blend with its environment and which results in a low visual profile.
•Will not be materially visible offsite.
•Is of a scale, intensity, and design that integrates with the existing character of the surrounding neighborhood.
•Internal efficiency and/or space utilization problems exist.

Amend the following findings to be objective:
•Will not create unnecessary traffic hazards due to congestion, distraction of motorists, or other factors and provides for satisfactory access by emergency vehicles and personnel.

Will not materially affect adversely the health or safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the property of the applicant and will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in such neighborhood.

Update the Zoning Code to remove
subjective design review findings. 7/1/2024 6th Cycle Continuous This action is in progress. The recent enactment of California Senate Bill 450 (SB 450) significantly impacts the Town of San Anselmo's design review process, particularly concerning Housing Element Action 5.9e. SB 450, effective January 1, 2025, amends SB 9 by restricting local agencies from imposing objective zoning, subdivision, and design standards on two-unit developments that do not apply uniformly within the underlying zone, unless such standards are more permissive. These provisions effectively limit the Town's ability to apply its current design review process, which includes subjective criteria such as compatibility with existing improvements and neighborhood character. Consequently, SB 450’s requirements supersede these subjective design review findings, as outlined in Action 5.9e. The Town adopted Ordinance No. 2025-1193 in October 2025 to align with the adopted Senate Bill 450, and implement the updated provisions of California Government Code sections 65852.21 and 66411.7. To ensure a prudent approach, the Town continues to monitor development trends to assess whether the design review process remains relevant under the new framework imposed by SB 450.

The passage of Senate Bill (SB) 450 has significantly altered how SB 9 is implemented at the local level, effectively eliminating the Town’s ability to require Design Review for new single-family and missing middle housing projects. As a result, the Town anticipates that most new housing of this type will proceed through ministerial approval under SB 9 and SB 450, potentially reducing the need for additional local incentives, such as those envisioned in Action 6.3d. Rather than amending the Zoning Code as originally contemplated in Action

6.3d, the Town is actively monitoring how SB 9 and SB 450 projects materialize in San Anselmo and is working to facilitate SB 9 housing production through other means, such as clear ministerial review processes and public information resources. If SB 9 housing production stagnates, the Town will proceed with implementation of Action 6.3d as originally planned. Additionally, The Town adopted Ordinance No. 2025-1193 in October 2025 to align with the adopted Senate Bill 450, and implement the updated provisions of California Government Code sections 65852.21 and 66411.7, allowing the ministerial creation of a single family dwelling with an ADU on a Single family lot.

Action 9.1i: Work with the County of Marin and other Marin jurisdictions to develop strategies that protect tenants from rapidly rising rents and displacement. These may include:
•Rent stabilization: Currently, the State imposes rent caps on some residential rental properties (AB 1482) through 2030. Evaluate a permanent policy and/or expansion to units not covered by AB 1482, as permitted by law.
•Just cause for eviction: AB 1482 also establishes a specific set of reasons that a tenancy can be terminated. These include: 1) default in rent payment; 2) breach of lease term; 3) nuisance activity or waste; 4) criminal activity; 5) subletting without permission; 6) refusal to provide access; 7) failure to vacate; 8) refusal to sign lease; and 9) unlawful purpose. Evaluate expansion of these protections or extension if State protections expire. •Local relocation assistance: Evaluate a countywide relocation assistance program that provides greater relocation assistance to special needs groups (e.g., seniors, disabled, femaleheaded households) and reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities. •Right to Purchase: When tenants are being evicted due to condominium conversion or redevelopment, offer first right to purchase to displaced tenants to purchase the units. •Right to Return: When tenants are being evicted due to rehabilitation/renovation of the property, offer first right to displaced tenants to return to the improved property. •Tenant Bill of Rights: Adopt a tenant’s bill of rights that considers extending protections for subletters and family members and addresses severe habitability issues and market pressures. This provision could also provide anti-retaliation protection for tenants that assert their rights and a right to legal representation in the case of evictions.

strategies. 12/1/2024 6th Cycle Completed
The Town Council adopted a rent-control ordinance in April 2024. In November 2024, the voters were asked to make the call on two related rent-control measures. Measure N would have enacted a rent-control ordinance approved by the Town Council, and Measure O would have penalized landlords of properties with three or more dwellings who terminate a tenancy due to no fault of the tenant. Both measures failed. Moving forward, the Town is participating in Rooted in Marin, a community-centered engagement and education process to understand displacement in our community. The goals of this work include outreach and engagement to all members of the Marin community, education about anti-displacement measures, and finally a feasibility report that will include best practices. The report can be used by jurisdictions to craft next steps for anti-displacement measures. Rooted in Marin has convened an Advisory Committee to help identify shared community needs and shape anti-displacement education and outreach tools. Made up of renters, landlords, service providers, developers, realtors, and businesses across all areas of Marin, the Committee is providing critical guidance on the outreach plan and materials. The Committee will meet again to advise on the final report. In order to reach a broad swath of community members, the project team has also created a Community Survey to learn more about the experience of Marin residents and workers. We received 895 responses, 811 in English and 84 in Spanish, a sufficient number to render the results statistically significant. 28 community members attended the Virtual Community Workshop in September 2024 (118 RSVPs). The workshop included presentations on displacement in Marin and the engagement effort, as well as discussions about anti-displacement policies. The project team will build upon this conversation at future community workshops. In order to reach some of the groups most impacted by housing costs, the project team also conducted a series of Focus Groups to hear from community members who are most at risk of displacement. These groups included unhoused residents, families with children, seniors and people with disabilities, youth, and displaced employees, among others. The team also conducted focus groups with landlords, realtors and businesses to better understand their concerns and experiences. The project team is currently researching and analyzing anti-displacement policies identified during the community engagement process. Refer to the website for more information and updates:

RE: Business Item 2.2 - Receive the 2025 Annual Progress Report Dear Town Councilmembers,
I am writing to you today on behalf of Call Marin Home (formerly Marin Environmental Housing Collaborative). Call Marin Home is a coalition of organizations in Marin dedicated to improving housing affordability in Marin. We would like to share comments on the 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR).

This 2025 Annual Progress Report shows that San Anselmo has permitted 19 units, bringing the total to 56 for this housing cycle. There are 777 units remaining that are needed to meet RHNA requirements. We would like to see the Town of San Anselmo work more aggressively to achieve its RHNA goals.

It is clear at this point that San Anselmo’s Housing Element is inadequate to meet its housing goals. We are dismayed to note that no new major projects have been proposed since the inception of this housing element. All but 4 permitted units in 2025 were ADUs.

Although all of San Anselmo’s rezonings were completed on time, they have not generated any proposals. This is despite having highly attractive areas for development - the San Anselmo Housing Element outlines several areas downtown for multi-family housing. San Anselmo’s nearby towns (Corte Madera and San Rafael) have both attracted proposals. San Anselmo can as well.
168
2 There are many tactics that San Anselmo can undertake to generate more housing proposals, such as extending ministerial housing approvals, upzoning more land and/or increasing allowable densities or working directly with developers and land owners to learn what obstacles are preventing additional proposals. None of these actions cost money. We urge San Anselmo to take action. This is necessary not only to meet its state housing targets, but also to address the existing housing crisis and to bring more economic activity to San Anselmo’s downtown.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Silva
Executive Director
Call Marin Home

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.3
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance Amendment to Title 10 “Planning and Zoning”, Section 10-3.302, Land Use Regulations Table 3A and Section 10-6.103, ADU and
JADU Approvals.

FROM: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDATION Town Staff recommends the Town Council take the following actions:

1. Hold a public hearing on the Ordinance Amendments.

2. Make a motion to read the Ordinance Amendments by title only. Staff shall read the full title of the Ordinance Amendments.

3. Make a motion to pass the first reading of the Ordinance Amendments and waive the second reading. If passed, the Ordinance Amendments will return for a second reading and adoption at the next regular Town Council meeting. (Attachment 1.)

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Community Development Department brings forward the following cleanup and consistency Ordinance Amendments to the Land Use Regulations Table 3A and the ADU and JADU approval section of the code as explained below. The Planning Commission recommended Town Council approval of the Amendments at their March 16, 2026, meeting (Attachment 2).

A. Land Use Regulations Table 3A
Last Spring, the Town Council adopted Ordinance Amendments to various sections of the Zoning Code to implement the 2023-2031 San Anselmo Housing Element and ensure compliance with State housing law. The overall intent of the Amendments was to modify certain Zoning Code sections to reduce constraints on the development of housing, as set forth in the Housing Element and required by Housing Element law.

Specifically here, the Council approved amendments to the Land Use Regulations Table, Table 3A and accompanying “Notes” that provide more information and 170
Item #:2.3
requirements related to the allowable land uses set forth in the Table. The Land Use Regulations Table, Table 3A, lists land uses and indicates whether the use is permitted, conditionally permitted, or not permitted in each Zoning District.

Under State housing law, a municipality cannot impose unnecessary barriers to the development of housing. State Housing Element law requires local governments to identify potential and actual constraints on the development of all housing and take steps to remove any constraints that would inhibit the locality from meeting its share of Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA). (Gov. Code, § 65583(a)(5).) Additionally, per Housing Element law, a municipality must provide housing sites for its RHNA share of lower-income housing by zoning land to allow for multifamily housing “by right” for projects where at least 20% of the units are affordable to lower-income households. (Gov. Code, § 65583.2(h).) “By right” means the project must be approved without any discretionary permits, such as a conditional use permit, or environmental review. (Gov. Code, § 65583.2(i).)
Recently it has come to staff’s attention that some of the Notes could unintentionally be interpreted to prohibit certain multi-family, by-right developments. Additionally, staff proposes certain clean-up language to correct previous inadvertent errors. Below please find an explanation and proposed changes. For the full text of the Notes, please refer to the attached Ordinance Amendment.

1. Notes 14 and 18. Both Notes 14 and 18 involve certain opportunity sites that were identified in the Housing Element. Both Notes currently provide that if the use is an “owner-occupied and rental multifamily development” with 20% reserved for lowerincome households, then it shall be allowed by-right. This language mistakenly requires a project to be both owner-occupied and a rental multifamily development in order to qualify for by-right approval; however, State law does not require owner occupation, but rather a project shall be approved by-right if it is multifamily and reserves 20% of units for lower-income households. The Ordinance Amendment removes this potentially confusing language and consolidates both notes into one (Note 14).

2. Note 16. Note 16 provides that certain residential uses associated with a mixed-use development shall occupy at least 50% of the total floor area. Staff proposes providing clarity to ensure consistency with State Housing law and the Housing Element that at least 50% of the total floor area must be residential, unless otherwise required or permitted by State law or an applicable by-right approval. Please note that this would have been required by law in any instance (irrespective of the Amendment), and the additional language provides that State law controls.

3. Ministerial Correction Regarding Attached Residential in Commercial Zones.

In May of last year, the Town Council adopted certain Zoning Code Amendments to implement the Housing Element. Among those, attached single-family residential uses 171
Item #:2.3
were allowed in the following Zones: P, C-1, C-2, C-L, and C-3. In a subsequent Amendment, this was inadvertently removed from the Land Use Regulations Table. The proposed Amendment rectifies this inadvertent error, and adds back single-family attached residential as an allowed use in the previously mentioned Zoning Districts.

B. ADU and JADU Approvals; Round Fractional Unit up in Existing Multifamily Buildings.

Last March, the Town Council approved amendments to the Town’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) to comply with new State law. Consistent with these requirements, the Town allows for the development of multiple ADUs within existing multifamily structures in areas not used as livable space.

At least one ADU must be permitted, and up to 25 percent of the existing multifamily units may be approved, provided all applicable requirements are met.

Currently, when the 25 percent calculation results in a fractional unit, the Town rounds down. For example, if 25 percent of the units in an existing multifamily dwelling equals

2.7 units, the Town permits 2 ADUs. The relevant State law does not specify how fractional units should be rounded.

In contrast, other housing State law and Town Code sections round fractional units up.

State density bonus law requires municipalities to ministerially approve increases above base density if a project includes a specified percentage of affordable units. In calculating the increase of units granted, calculations that result in a fractional unit are rounded up.1 For example, if a project is entitled to 3.2 additional units, it would receive 4 units.

Additionally, the Town rounds up fractional units under its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.2 Under the inclusionary housing code sections, a new development must contribute to the provision of affordable housing by either including affordable units or paying an in-lieu fee. If the inclusionary housing unit calculation results in a fractional unit, the Town rounds this requirement up.

Staff recommends rounding up the number of permitted ADUs within an existing multifamily structure, as this approach aligns with State law and current Town practices and supports State policy encouraging housing development. Additionally, ADUs contribute toward the Town’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and are consistent with the goals of the Town’s Housing Element.

C. Conclusion.

In conclusion, staff recommends that the Town Council approval of the abovedescribed Ordinance Amendments to ensure consistency with State Housing law, the

1 Gov. Code, § 65915.
2 San Anselmo Municipal Code Chapter 21.
172
Item #:2.3
Town’s Housing Element, correct inadvertent errors to the Land Use Table, and bring the Town’s ADU law in alignment with other State laws and encourage the development of housing.

FISCAL IMPACT
No new fiscal impacts.

GENERAL PLAN AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the General Plan Housing Element because they make Zoning Code changes to align with the Housing Element and encourage the development of housing at all income levels. The Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the Town’s Climate Action Plan Policy T-9 (Smart Growth Development).

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
The Ordinance Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3) (the “common sense” exemption) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance Amendments may have a significant effect on the environment, as they do not authorize new development, significantly expand existing uses, or significantly increase the intensity of activity; CEQA Guidelines section 15301 involving minor alteration to existing facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that already in existence and CEQA Guidelines section 15303 involving new construction or conversion of small structures, since they make no or minimal changes to land use, development intensities, and the rate at which development is expected to occur. The Ordinance Amendments are also exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.17, which exempts the adoption of local ordinances regarding second units in a single or multi-family residential zone. The Climate Action Plan is not implicated.

SECTION 4: Ordinance Amendment. Town of San Anselmo Municipal Code Section 10-3.302, Land Use Regulations Table 3A, is hereby amended as follows with deletions in strikeout and additions in underline:
175
Attachment 1
The Land Use Regulations Table, referred to as Table 3A, lists uses of the land and indicates whether or not each use is permitted (P), conditionally permitted (C), or not permitted (-) in each Zoning District. Uses not specifically listed in the Land Use Regulations Table are specifically prohibited unless a Use Determination by the Community Development Director or designee is made which finds the use not specifically listed is similar to another use permitted or conditionally permitted within the District.

The Residential Housing Opportunities (R-HO), Public Facilities (PF), and Open Space (OS) are not included on the Land Use Regulations Matrix. The R-HO District is an overlay District and generally allows for higher residential densities. The R-HO District is not yet designated on the zoning map and, therefore, is not currently regulated. The PF District does not include any lands not currently developed with major public facilities. Any expansion of the PF District would be preceded by the Town's acquisition of the land for a specific use or purpose, a General Plan Amendment, and a zone change. The OS District is limited to passive recreation uses. See also Title 11, Chapter 1 "Regulations for Parks and Playgrounds."

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO

RECOMMENDING THE TOWN COUNCIL ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO TITLE 10 “PLANNING AND ZONING”, SECTION 10-3.302 LAND USE REGULATIONS TABLE 3A

FOR CONSISTENCY WITH STATE LAW AND HOUSING ELEMENT AND FOR MINISTERIAL ERROR CORRECTION; SECTION 10-6.103, ADU AND JADU APPROVALS; AND MAKING

ASSOCIATED CEQA EXEMPTION FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the Town Council adopted the 2023-2031 Housing Element in 2023 pursuant to State Housing Element Law (Government Code section 65580 et seq.), which Housing Element was subsequently approved by the California Department of Housing and Community Development; and WHEREAS, Housing Element law requires that a municipality’s Housing Element accommodate the Town’s regional housing need allocation (“RHNA”) and ensures the provision of housing at all income levels; and
WHEREAS, to encourage the development of housing, State Housing law requires ministerial or “by-right” approvals for certain development projects if objective requirements are satisfied; and WHEREAS, in the Spring of 2025, the Town Council amended various sections of the Zoning Code to implement the Housing Element and ensure compliance with State Housing law, including amendments to the Land Use Regulations Table, Table 3A and accompanying “Notes” that provide more information and requirements related to the allowable land uses set forth in the Table; and
WHEREAS, Government Code sections 65583.2(i) and (h) require ministerial, “by-right” approval of multi-family projects that comply with objective standards and reserve at least 20% of the units for lower-income households; and
WHEREAS, certain Notes in the Land Use Regulations Table, Table 3A, can mistakenly be interpreted to be inconsistent with the above-mentioned State law and the proposed Ordinance Amendments herein correct this inconsistency; and
WHEREAS, the Ordinance Amendments also correct an inadvertent ministerial error in Table 3A and allow attached residential uses in commercial districts; and WHEREAS, State law, Government Code section 66323(a)(3)(B), and Town Municipal Code section 10-6.103, requires that in an existing multifamily dwelling structure, at least one Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), and up to 25% of the existing multifamily dwelling units, must be approved if requirements are satisfied, and when the 25% calculation results in a fractional unit, the Town rounds number of allowable ADUs down; and
WHEREAS, the Town seeks to round the number of allowable ADUs up when the 25% calculation for an existing multifamily structure results in fractional unit, thereby increasing the potential number of ADUs in the Town consistent with other State housing laws and the policy of encouraging housing; and
184
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, in accordance with Government Code Section 65853, is responsible for recommending proposed amendments to the Town’s Zoning Code to the Town Council; and
WHEREAS, the Ordinance Amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 involving the minor alteration of existing facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that already in existence; CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 involving new construction or conversion of small structures; CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility they would have a significant effect on the environment; the amendments make no or minimal changes to land uses, development intensities, or the rate at which development is expected to occur; to Public Resources Code section 21080.17, which exempts the adoption of local ordinances regarding second units in a single or multi-family residential zone; and WHEREAS, the Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the Climate Action Plan 2030 Action T-9 (Smart Growth Development); and
WHEREAS, the proposed Ordinance Amendments are consistent with the General Plan Housing Element because they make Zoning Code changes to align with the Housing Element and encourage the development of housing at all income levels; and WHEREAS, on March 16, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the Town Council approve the proposed Ordinance Amendments.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1. The Planning Commission of the Town of San Anselmo does hereby recommend that the Town Council adopt the Ordinance Amendments as set forth in Exhibit “A”.

RESOLUTION PASSED AND ADOPTED at the regular meeting of the San Anselmo Planning Commission on the 16th day of March 2026 by the following vote:

AYES: Shemano, Pipkin, Thomas, Asselstine, Heiman, Strauss NOES: None

EXHIBIT “A”
SECTION 1: Findings. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated as findings herein.

SECTION 2: CEQA. The Ordinance Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3) (the “common sense” exemption) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance Amendments may have a significant effect on the environment, as they do not authorize new development, significantly expand existing uses, or significantly increase the intensity of activity; CEQA Guidelines section 15301 involving minor alteration to existing facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that already in existence and CEQA Guidelines section 15303 involving new construction or conversion of small structures, since they make no or minimal changes to land use, development intensities, and the rate at which development is expected to occur.

SECTION 3: Consistency with General Plan. The Ordinance Amendment is consistent with the General Plan Housing Element because it makes Zoning Code changes to align with the Housing Element and encourage the development of housing at all income levels, and ensures consistency with State Housing law.

SECTION 4: Ordinance Amendment. Town of San Anselmo Municipal Code Section 10-3.302, Land Use Regulations Table 3A, is hereby amended as follows with deletions in strikeout and additions in underline:

The Land Use Regulations Table, referred to as Table 3A, lists uses of the land and indicates whether or not each use is permitted (P), conditionally permitted (C), or not permitted (-) in each Zoning District. Uses not specifically listed in the Land Use Regulations Table are specifically prohibited unless a Use Determination by the Community Development Director or designee is made which finds the use not specifically listed is similar to another use permitted or conditionally permitted within the District.

The Residential Housing Opportunities (R-HO), Public Facilities (PF), and Open Space (OS) are not included on the Land Use Regulations Matrix. The R-HO District is an overlay District and generally allows for higher residential densities. The R-HO District is not yet designated on the zoning map and, therefore, is not currently regulated. The PF District does not include any lands not currently developed with major public facilities. Any expansion of the PF District would be preceded by the Town's acquisition of the land for a specific use or purpose, a General Plan Amendment, and a zone change. The OS District is limited to passive recreation uses. See also Title 11, Chapter 1 "Regulations for Parks and Playgrounds."

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.4
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) Crossing Guard Program 2026/2027 School Year Updates
FROM: Sean Condry, Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council receives the update on the TAM Crossing Guard Program.

SUMMARY
Under their Safe Routes to Schools Program, the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) provides a limited number of crossing guards to elementary and middle schools throughout Marin County using local Measure AA sales tax revenues under spending Category 3.2.

According to the TAM website:

Funding for the program was included in Measure A, the original 1/2-Cent Transportation Sales Tax, approved by Marin voters in 2004. Funding was expanded with the passage of Measure B, the $10 Vehicle Registration Fee, approved by Marin voters in 2010. Funding was again expanded with Measure AA, the 1/2-Cent Transportation Sales Tax Renewal approved by Marin voters in 2018. Measure AA increased the percentage of funding dedicated to the Crossing Guard Program from

4.2% to 7%, increasing the amount of crossing guards funded by the program to 96.

The Crossing Guard Program provides trained crossing guards at key intersections to make it safer for more students throughout Marin County to walk or bike to school. To manage the program, TAM contracts with a professional company that specializes in crossing guard programs ensures that there are well-trained crossing guards with backups for every critical intersection, who can be counted on every day, regardless of the weather.
194
Item #: 2.4
The process TAM uses to rank the potential crossing guard locations considers seven criteria per the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) as well as a category for ‘other factors’. These criteria include: vehicle and pedestrian volumes, skew angle of the intersection, sight distance, curves, speed limit, accident history, and ‘other factors’ that can include site specific conditions outside of the main seven criteria.

San Anselmo has 13 potential locations that are rated/ranked in the program.

In school year 2025/2026, the TAM provided 5 crossing guards at the following locations. The scoring for the 2026/2027 school year is shown below. The cutoff to qualify for a guard in the recertification process was 59 points out of a possible 220 points.

Item #: 2.4
TAM recertifies the list every two years, and re-rates the locations below the 59th guard.

The total list contains 168 locations, with 96 guards being funded in FY 2026/2027 and 2027/2028.

School districts or cities/towns/county can elect to fund crossing guard locations that are not funded by TAM. The approximate cost for a guard for the 2026/2027 school year is $25,600 per guard per year.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for the crossing guard at Butterfield Road/Rosemont Avenue is fully paid for by TAM.

CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Crossing Guard Program is consistent with Climate Action Plan 2030 Transportation Measures T-2 Bicycling and T-3 Walking.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.5
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026
AGENDA TITLE: 1) Accept Roadway, Sidewalk and Utility Easement for Sequoia Park Safe Route to Schools Project Area #3
(“Project”);
2) Approve Plans for the Project;
3) Authorize Staff to Advertise for Construction Bids Based on Approved Plans,
4) Authorize the Town Manager to Award the Construction Contract to the Lowest Responsible Bidder;
5) Adopt Resolution of Intent to Abandon a Portion of Rightof-Way Adjacent to 79 Sequoia Avenue; and 6) Find These Actions Exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301).

FROM: Scott Schneider, P.E., Assistant Public Works Director RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Town Council take the following actions associated with Area #3 of the Sequoia Park Safe Routes to School Project (“Project”):

A. Adopt the attached Resolution accepting an easement on a portion of 100 Sequoia Avenue for roadway, sidewalk, and utility purposes (Attachment 1).

B. Approve the Plans for construction of the Project. (Attachment 2).

C. Authorize Staff to Advertise for Construction Bids for the Project based on the approved Plans and authorize the Town Manager to award the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder.

D. Approve the Resolution of Intent to Abandon a portion of the right-of-way adjacent to 79 Sequoia Avenue and setting the date for the public hearing to consider the proposed abandonment. (Attachment 3).

E. Find these actions exempt for the California Environmental Quality Act (14 Cal.

Code Regs. § 15301).

BACKGROUND
On June 24, 2025, the Town Council accepted a donation to design and construct the Sequoia Park Safe Routes to School Project Areas #1 and #3. The projects were scoped following a robust public process including three community workshops, a neighborhood meeting, and a Council meeting.
198
Item #:2.5
Staff has focused primarily on Project Area #3, which involves relocating the road alignment at Sequioa Drive and Ancho Vista Avenue to enhance visibility and safety (the “Project”). Relocating the roadway required the removal of the uninhabitable structure at 100 Sequoia Drive following Planning Commission review and approval.

The structure was located in both the front- and side-yard setbacks, as well as in the 30-foot view corridor of the intersection, and would not be allowed to be constructed in that location today.

To take advantage of economies of scale, the project includes road repaving of Sequoia Drive from the east side of 100 Sequioa to Hilldale Drive. This portion of the project is estimated to cost about $100,000 and will be funded from the Road Maintenance Fund based on the bid prices.

DISCUSSION
To complete construction of the Project, Town staff seeks Town Council consideration and approvals associated with the following steps:

First, staff requests that the Council accept a Roadway, Drainage and Utility easement being granted to the Town by the property owner of 100 Sequoia Drive. With the easement, the Town will be able to realign the roadway as provided in the Project plans that are also being presented to the Council (see below). The attached resolution accepts the easement and authorizes the Town Manger to execute the grant of easement agreement and certificate of acceptance for the easement. (Attachment 1).

Second, Town staff seeks the Council’s approval of the Plans for the Project, which provide for the relocation of a portion of Sequoia Drive at Ancho Vista Avenue to improve roadway sightlines along with installation of sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, and traffic calming speed humps. (Attachment 2). Staff will provide a brief presentation about the Plans at the meeting.

Third, staff is requesting the Council’s authorization to advertise for construction bids for the Project based on the approved Plans and for the Town Manager to award the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder, as required by state law.

Finally, due to the Project, the roadway alignment will shift toward 100 Sequoia Avenue and will leave a section of the existing right-of-way adjacent to 79 Sequoia Drive unnecessary for public use. Accordingly, Town staff asks that the Town Council adopt the attached Resolution of Intent to Abandon a Portion of Right-of-Way Adjacent to 79 Sequoia Avenue. (Attachment 3). The Resolution is the first step toward abandoning the unneeded portion of the right-of-way and it sets a hearing date for all interested parties to consider the proposed abandonment. The Resolution includes a hearing date of September 22, 2026, which will allow for completion of the Project prior to the hearing.
199
Item #:2.5
Following approval of the Resolution of Intent to Abandon, Town staff will contact the utility companies to determine if they require a utility easement in the portion of right-ofway to be abandoned.

At a future date, staff will return to the Council for approval of the plans for Sequoia Park Safe Routes to School Project Area #1 (the Red Hill Avenue/Sequoia Drive intersection improvements).

FISCAL IMPACT
The Engineer’s Estimate for the construction project is approximately $735,000. The estimated project management and construction management costs are $50,000.

Funding is available in the project budget provided by the donor, and from the Road Maintenance Fund for the additional paving (approximately $100,000). The acceptance of an easement for the relocated roadway and the abandonment of existing right-of-way have a negligible fiscal impact.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Town finds this Project to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1, because it involves maintenance of existing streets, will not create additional automobile lanes and involves negligible or no expansion of use. (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15301). None of the exceptions to this Class 1 categorical exemption apply in this instance (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15300.2). Specifically, successive projects of the same type in the same location will not cause significant cumulative impacts, as there are no successive projects planned at this time. There are no unusual circumstances presented by this project and the project will not result in damage to scenic resources within a designated state scenic highway. Finally, the project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource, as no historical resources will be impacted.

This Project is consistent with the Town’s Climate Action Plan, in that it makes this neighborhood safer for pedestrians and cyclists, and it supports Safe Routes to School (See CAP T-2, T-3, and T-4).
