Objective Design and Development Standards

State housing law requires local jurisdictions to have clear and objective zoning standards and streamlined review and approval processes for multifamily development to ensure that local housing production goals are met. The Town of San Anselmo is working with Marin County jurisdictions to develop a toolkit of Objective Design and Development Standards for multifamily and mixed-use residential development. The Town seeks standards that are reflective of local architectural styles, building patterns, and historical character. This toolkit could eventually be added to the Town's zoning code.
