Town Eyes Deal to Turn Private Lot at 305 San Anselmo Avenue Into Public Parking
The Town Council tonight will consider authorizing the Town Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement with the property owners of 305 San Anselmo Avenue to open their private lot to public parking.
Staff is recommending the council move forward, and has found the project exempt from CEQA review under the state's categorical exemption for existing facilities, meaning no environmental study is required before a deal is struck.
No public comments or objections are noted on the item, and the agenda does not detail lease terms, cost, or how many spaces would be added he negi negotiation. The vote tonight would simply give the Town Manager authority to hash out an agreement, not approve final terms.

Council Weighs Urgency Freeze on New Tobacco Retailer Licenses
Council members tonight will consider an urgency ordinance imposing a temporary moratorium on new tobacco retailer licenses in San Anselmo, buying time for staff to study and potentially draft permanent regulations.
The item comes to council without a staff recommendation spelled out in the agenda, and no public comments are logged. Town staff note the moratorium is not subject to CEQA and does not touch the town's Climate Action Plan.
Because it's an urgency ordinance, it would take effect immediately if adopted tonight rather than after the usual waiting period \u2014 the mechanism towns typically use when they want to stop new applications from coming in while a policy is worked out.

Town Moves to Abandon Portion of Public Easement Near 250 Redwood Road
The council will consider adopting a Resolution of Intent to abandon a portion of a public easement adjacent to 250 Redwood Road.
Staff recommends adoption, characterizing the move as a minor alteration in land use limitations that does not change land use or density on the property, and has found it categorically exempt from CEQA under Guidelines section 15305.
No comments or objections are listed in the agenda. Adopting the resolution tonight would signal the town's intent to give up its rights to that easement segment, typically a step toward finalizing the abandonment at a later hearing.
