San Anselmo rent control referendum appears headed for ballot

San Anselmo residents could vote in November on whether to keep a new rent control ordinance.

A group seeking a referendum on the ordinance has submitted a petition with 1,568 signatures in support of the effort. The ordinance was adopted following a 3-2 vote of the Town Council on April 9.

If a minimum 952 signatures are verified, the Town Council will have three options: to repeal the ordinance, to submit the ordinance to the voters for approval on Nov. 5, or schedule a special election to resolve the issue.
