Help Us Protect Sausalito’s Historic District
9 Stories - 109 Feet Tall!
Oppose the Ultra Luxury Condos at 605-613 Bridgeway
A huge 9-story, 109-foot ultra-luxury building that doesn’t follow Sausalito regulations has been proposed right in the middle of our Historic District. It is for 51 luxury units with only 8 tiny “affordable” units in the back against the hill.
We are asking our City Council to reject it and make sure new projects obey Sausalito’s code and respect our City’s unique historic character.
We need to get loud and make our voice heard. If this project is approved as proposed there will be irrevocable harm to our Historic District, setting up a domino effect of similar projects. It will be the end of our historic district and city’s special character.
Prior generations of citizens have worked to protect this district and Sausalito’s other local resources, such as the Marin headlands so that we can enjoy them today.
This is our moment to step up and protect our historic district for ourselves, our community…and future generations.
The massive scale overwhelms our historic district
This Is Not Affordable Housing
Key Points in the Petition
- The proposed project will irreparably damage one of California’s twelve historic districts.
- It casts a shadow over homes and businesses, diminishing their value and quality of life, and establishes a dangerous precedent for future development.
- Located on an unstable hill prone to landslides, it further endangers our neighborhood.
- The loss of light and views, coupled with decreased parking and increased traffic, will deteriorate our quality of life.
- It violates Ordinance 1022 and zoning laws, putting at risk our community’s historical integrity and visual harmony.
We support responsibly designed new residential developments and affordable housing, but this is not it.
This current development proposal is to build 59 mostly ultra luxury condominiums and with 8 “affordable” units hidden with no view against a hill. There is no protection to make sure these few units remain affordable forever.
