The Marinship Blue Economy Innovation District Ballot Measure
Sausalito Working Waterfront Coalition on behalf of our members and group of interested partners has submitted a proposed ballot measure to the city council.
​
The Ballot Measure is intended to foster and grow a large portion of the Marinship into a district that can attract new businesses focused on emerging solutions for ocean health, climate tech, solar energy, vessel electrification and other innovation technologies.
​
Current maritime and industrial spaces will not be affected. Nor will spaces occupied by artists or craftspeople be affected. Even non-conforming uses that currently exist will be permitted and allowed to remain.
Eighteen acres of the northern Marinship, some of which was designated by the city for mixed-use residential are not affected by this initiative.
​
This balllot measure simply locks some 2021 General Plan programs and policies that addressed the Marinship. That General Plan was approved 5-0 by CIty CouncilIt also requires future development and re-development to be limited to maritime, fine art, industrial and youth/aprenticeship programs and requires any future change to go to the voters.
