Save Our Sausalito

Measure X allows oversized buildings on our waterfront—and takes away your vote to stop them.

Protect Sausalito. Keep the vote. Vote NO on Measure X.

Measure X is a sweeping rewrite of Sausalito’s waterfront and commercial zoning rules. It would allow far larger buildings on Industrial and Waterfront land, add pressure to Bridgeway, and end voters’ final say over most future commercial and industrial zoning changes outside the Downtown Historic District.

We’re asking Sausalito voters to reject Measure X on November 3, 2026—and choose careful, public planning instead.

There’s a better way.

Help artists, makers, and marine trades directly. Plan honestly for the housing already authorized and the traffic it will bring. Finish the shoreline plan, identify land that can safely support development, and require every project to pay its fair share. We can improve the waterfront without Measure X’s one-size-fits-all upzoning.

The case

Four reasons to vote NO

It takes away our vote.

For 40 years, voters have had the final say on covered commercial and industrial zoning changes. Measure X ends that protection outside the Downtown Historic District.

It allows dramatically larger waterfront buildings.

Measure X raises permitted floor area by 650% on Industrial land and 900% on Waterfront land, before a complete traffic, shoreline, or infrastructure plan.

It puts Bridgeway and the working waterfront at risk.

The added commercial capacity would bring more traffic to our one main road and could expose artists, makers, and maritime businesses to higher-paying competing uses.

It leaves major costs unresolved.

Measure X contains no flood-protection project or funding plan and repeals an existing rule requiring developers to contribute toward infrastructure.
