We Need your Input!Please take the quick: Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Survey>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The Town of San Anselmo is updating its Housing Element, a chapter of the General Plan that outlines the plans and policies the community has in place to ensure we comply with state statutes. One component of our obligation is determined by the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).A key tool in meeting San Anselmo's RHNA will likely be Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units. Also referred to as mother-in-law suites, granny flats, second units, and accessory apartments, these small units on single-family lots can help to increase housing options in the community with minimal impact on San Anselmo's character.
Input from the community on current and prospective ADUs is essential in our use of this housing type to meet our RHNA. Thank you for taking the time to answer this brief survey and help plan for the future of our Town.

Parking for Live on the Avenue Events IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READWe have created a pedestrian friendly event area on San Anselmo Avenue between Tunstead Avenue and Tamalpais Avenue. A lot of time and energy goes into preparing and running these popular evening events. In an effort to strike a balance between allowing our small businesses to close out their days while maintaining as much customer parking as possible and providing enough time to allow cars to exit the area before the event begins at 6pm, the event area on San Anselmo Avenue will remain open for parking until 5:30pm each Friday and Saturday night through October 15th. In addition, there will be three 30 minute spaces available for retail customers in three separate convenient locations that are available from 4:30 to 6:00pm throughout the event series.
CLICK HERE for a downtown parking map.
Please do not park in the event area on the Avenue past 5:30pm
It creates a very dangerous situation when a vehicle attempts to exit the event area after the event has started, so please help us keep these events safe by not parking in the event area on San Anselmo Avenue after 5:30pm.
Any vehicles remaining on San Anselmo Avenue (between Tunstead and Tamalpais Avenues) after 5:30pm will be ticketed and not allowed to leave the event area until 10pm. |

Wilderness ImpressionsJonathan Braun Exhibit
Photography and Clay
For the first time, TOWN BOOKS will host local artisan Jonathan Braun. Many of you know Jonathan as a life-long environmentalist. Now you can see his inspirational photography and pottery!
Jonathan began making pottery at the age of twelve, and eventually built his own kiln. At sixteen, he was invited to join the San Francisco Association of Potter and Glass Blowers, the youngest artist ever accepted.
As a photographer, Jonathan trained under his own father, famed photographer Ernie Braun. From a young age, he worked in the dark room and went on photo shoots with his dad. But they always turned to the wilderness for endless opportunities to find inspiration for their photography.
