The City of San Rafael Zoning Administrator held a meeting on March 18, 2026, to review several use permit applications related to business operations within the city. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a use permit and public convenience or necessity permit for a convenience store at 834 Earlwin Street, which involved an off-sale beer and wine license with conditions reviewed by the police department. The meeting also covered a use permit for automobile rental services at 454 Depoy Street, proposed as an addition to an existing auto repair shop, and a permit for a food service establishment at 86 Belvidere Street with specified hours of operation. Additionally, a use permit was approved for protective car wrapping services at 36 Belvedere Street, clarifying zoning classifications and business licensing distinctions. All projects were approved subject to findings and conditions of approval, with public comments considered where applicable. No specific contract awards or budget allocations were discussed, but the meeting focused on regulatory approvals that could impact future business operations and vendor opportunities in the city.
