‘Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the town
Not a person could shop
No hotels to lie down

All the businesses left
Because a few said, “No!”
But Muelrath Public Affairs said,
“It doesn’t have to be so!”

They dashed to the scene
With gumption and grit
They knew they could help
It was a perfect fit

With cell phones in hand
And laptops in tow
They set right to work
To neutralize the foe

They gained supporters
And taught them fast
How to put pressure on leaders
To fix things at last

Soon the city
Was thriving once more
Businesses grew
Tax revenues soared
So, the moral of the story
Is one that is sound
Muelrath Public Affairs builds positive perceptions
To get your project off the ground.

Wishing you all the best this Holiday Season and Coming New Year!

MPA was excited to partner with the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) Community Improvement Authority to enter into a public benefit agreement with the City of Fairfield to transition Park Crossing, a market-rate apartment community in Fairfield, into an all-affordable, moderate-income housing community. The agreement, which was unanimously approved in a recent vote by the Fairfield City Council, requires the authority to maintain the property (i.e. regular landscaping, painting, maintenance) for the life of the agreement, maintaining both a high-caliber, yet more affordable multi-family housing community for residents and a site that nearby residents can remain proud to call their neighbor. This is the second market-to-affordable housing conversion MPA has worked on in the City of Fairfield, coming after similar agreements MPA was involved with, including two in the City of Santa Rosa.

MPA worked with Sonoma Valley community leaders to pass Measure F, a 10-year parcel tax extension to support Sonoma Valley Hospital. With nearly 80% of the vote in favor, Measure F was overwhelmingly approved by voters in the November 2nd election, and ensures that Sonoma Valley Hospital and its emergency room will remain open for the foreseeable future. This is the 5th time MPA has worked with Sonoma Valley Hospital supporters on a ballot initiative campaign (all successful), and we’re thrilled to see them win by the largest margin in favor of the hospital’s parcel tax since the parcel tax was first enacted by voters in 2002.

MPA has a long working relationship with The Dutra Group and San Rafael Rock Quarry (SRRQ). The Marin County Board of Supervisors recently approved an addendum to a previously-approved Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the SRRQ that will allow the quarry to extend mining life and reclamation work for 20 additional years. The same, stringent safeguards to protect surrounding neighborhoods remain, including defined hours of operation, annual production limits, daily street sweeping and other protocols. With this extension, the mine life and reclamation work at the quarry site can continue until 2044, instead of 2024 as projected in the 2009 EIR. We’re happy for The Dutra Group, and appreciate their due diligence and collaboration with neighbors to make this a collaborative process that included neighborhood and community input.

MPA was proud to partner with USA Properties Fund to conduct community outreach and help build support for the College Creek Apartments project at the former Sonoma County Water Agency site in Santa Rosa.
MPA worked with the applicant to brand the project, educate surrounding neighborhoods about the development proposal, field and answer questions from the community, and build support for the project leading up to the City of Santa Rosa’s Design Review Board hearing.
As noted in Friday’s front-page article published by The Press Democrat, with the Design Review Board’s unanimous support for the project and Major Design Review approvals closer to completion, the 164-unit all-affordable College Creek Apartments development should be able to break ground next year!

Great Week for MPA and their clients, Acclaim Companies and AG Spanos. Community outreach and reaching consensus is essential for moving projects forward.

Even amidst a busy campaign season, MPA delivered. On Monday evening, the Petaluma City Council voted to Certify the Environmental Impact Report and voted to move the Sid Commons proposal forward. Sid Commons is 180-unit multi-family proposal nestled among 68 acres of land West of Highway 101 and between the future Ranier Avenue and East Washington Street.

On Tuesday evening, The Fairfield City Council voted unanimously, for the 281-unit Green Valley Apartments – a multi-family residential housing proposal located on a barren parcel between Business Center Drive and Neitzel Road/Suisun Valley Road on nearly 10-acres.
