Proponent & Supporter Quotes
“This initiative was developed thoughtfully and deliberately, and we believe it works for everyone. It protects our arts and maritime heritage while giving existing businesses more room to thrive, incentivizes property owners to activate unused parcels as studios and workspaces, and provides more waterfront amenities that residents can enjoy too. Our goal is a waterfront that’s alive, inclusive, and built to last.”
“Forty years ago Ordinance 1022 passed and has stymied and stagnated our town’s ability to effectively engage in land use planning – it has locked in antiquated perceptions from a bygone era. As a community, we have an opportunity to update the rules governing our waterfront so that the businesses and people who depend on it can adapt and thrive for years to come.The AIM Initiative enables us to move forward with good planning decisions that benefit our town and its businesses and residents”
“My family owns Sausalito Yacht Harbor. We have a significant investment in the future of our waterfront. We would never support anything that harms our businesses or the character of Sausalito. The reality is our waterfront infrastructure is aging and deteriorating because current rules have made reinvestment extremely difficult. AIM will help create a path to rebuild infrastructure, address sea-level rise, and support a vibrant working waterfront.”
“I moved to Sausalito to raise my family here and I want to stay for decades. But that means the waterfront needs to work for the next generation, not just the last one. The AIM Initiative is how we make sure this place is still thriving with its unique charm when my kids are grown.”
“I am a Sausalito resident and would have loved to expand our business into Sausalito, but couldn’t find the space and had to go elsewhere. I believe AIM would encourage creation of space for businesses like mine to thrive in Sausalito.”
“The waterfront’s infrastructure has been eroding for the past 40 years because there has not been the money to repair it. The Marinship generates about $10,000 per acre in tax revenue — compare that to $70,000 per acre in our downtown commercial district. The AIM Initiative is the first real chance in decades to unlock the full economic potential of the Waterfront, without sacrificing what makes this place special.”
“We moved our business to Sausalito 3 years ago from San Rafael. We chose the Marinship because of its industrial roots, maker spirit, and access to the beautiful waterfront. But since moving in we cannot help but notice the numerous derelict sites needing attention and repair. We feel that a change to the local ordinance can open up the business opportunities in this area and help all of Sausalito to Thrive!”
“Our floating homes community sits directly adjacent to the Marinship Working Waterfront — and we’ve seen firsthand what happens when residents invest in the infrastructure of a place they love. That’s historic preservation of the best kind. This ballot measure is how Sausalito protects what makes it singular. I’m proud to support it.”
