3. Houseboat Communites and Anchor Outs. Many unauthorized houseboats and vessels used as a permanent residences [sic] are distributed along the Sausalito/Marin County shoreline or anchored out in Richardson Bay….

Anchor-out residences are marred in the central part of Richardson Bay and are different from the houseboat marinas and communities in that they are not connected to land and are not serviced by such normal utilities as water, gas, and electricity, or sewerage services….

Another class of anchor-outs are the fishing boats that either anchor off Sausalito’s central and southern waterfront or tie up along the privately owned South Pier during the fishing season. These anchor-outs are primarily seasonal. Visiting yachts also anchor-out in the Bay or tie up at yacht clubs and marinas.
