The Sausalito we treasure and love won’t be here unless we fight for it
Save Our Sausalito works to protect the human scale of Sausalito — and the historic, maritime, creative, and natural beauty that defines its character.
Measure X puts Sausalito’s future at risk.
It takes away voters’ current right to vote on future zoning everywhere but the historic district -- handing that power to any three council members to make deals with developers without voter approval.
Proposed in Sausalito
Join more than 910 residents calling for a full environmental review for 1 Harbor Drive

What we’re working on
Affordable Housing
Measure K Implementation
Support: Affordable housing built as promised. We're watching the RFPs to keep the homes affordable, at 32 feet, and in scale with the neighborhood.
Historic District
605–613 Bridgeway
Oppose: The city has found this out of scale project inconsistent with zoning. It has no place in the Historic District.
Historic District
83 Princess Street
Oppose: A 39-unit, 66-foot building that would clear-cut the Princess Grove, carve into a fragile hillside, and swallow an 1884 landmark home.

What we’ve protected together
Affordable Housing
Passed Measure K / MLK Park
We backed affordable housing on the city's own sites and won a pledge to keep it to 32 feet. The RFPs are out and it's getting built — proof that more homes and human scale aren't a trade-off.
Stand With
Food on the Table
When a federal shutdown left about 280 Sausalito neighbors short on food aid, SOS supporters raised $10,000 in a week — and the City Council matched it.
State Legislation
SB 79 — Defending the Historic District
A state housing law would have allowed 55-foot buildings by right across the historic district. As part of a statewide coalition, we helped strike the rule that swept us in — now state law.
View Protection
View Protection Standards
The City adopted view-protection standards 5–0 — developers must now measure a project's impact on public views, using ViewSync, before it can be approved.
Historic District
A Real 32-Foot Height Limit
Developers used hillside slope rules to reach 57 feet in a 32-foot zone. We got the loophole closed — height in the historic district is now measured from the street.
Stand With
Bridgeway Neighbors
After 13 police reports and a neighborhood petition, the new operator of the former Trident space agreed to changes that gave Bridgeway neighbors their evenings back.
Help protect Sausalito
Sausalito stays the place we love because of neighbors who care enough to act. We carry that work forward in gratitude, and there's a place in it for you.
