Zoning Administrator 04/01/2026

The City of San Rafael Zoning Administrator held a meeting on April 1, 2026, to review three agenda items primarily related to zoning and permit approvals. The first two items involved requests for determinations of public convenience or necessity to operate existing convenience stores with Type 20 ABC licenses at gas station locations on Del Presidio Boulevard. Both requests were recommended for approval based on police department input indicating minimal crime concerns and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The third item was a design review for the construction of a new 10,880 square foot accessory structure at 440 Smith Ranch Road, which was also recommended for approval with standard conditions. No votes or motions were explicitly recorded in the transcript, but the Zoning Administrator indicated agreement with staff recommendations to approve all items. No direct procurement, contracting, or budget discussions were noted during the meeting.
