After months of resident advocacy and more than 115 public comments, the City Council voted 5–0 to adopt Chapter 3 of the Objective Design Standards — written protection for Sausalito's public views. Developers must now use ViewSync to measure a project's view impact before it can be approved.
In the same session, the Council also closed the 'air-lift' height loophole — restoring a real 32-foot limit in the historic district. Together, the two changes put real limits back into the code.
