Action Alert, the Novato Costco Gas Station is back before the City Council June 9th 2026, Update!
Dear Supporters, that's what happened:
In November 2022, Novato approved an Ordinance to prohibit New Gas Stations from being built in Novato. Because it was already under city review before the ordinance was passed, the ban does not affect the planned Costco gas station.
In September 2025, the Novato City Council Members unanimously adopted the Novato Climate Action Plan 2030, to reduce GHG emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. According to Novato’s 2022 greenhouse gas inventory, 64% of our community's emissions come from transportation, predominantly from passenger vehicles.
On December 8, 2025, the Planning Commission directed the City to prepare the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the proposed project.
On April 6th, 2026, Novato City released the FEIR https://www.novato.gov/government/community-development/planning-division/planning-projects/costco-fuel-facility
On April 13th, 2026, at 7 PM, the Planning Commission approved and certified the FEIR.
On April 22nd, on Earth Day, the approval was appealed with strong arguments from No New Gas Novato, 350Marin, Sustainable Mill Valley, and Kevin Morrison.
Finally:
On Tuesday , June 9th, 6 PM, the Novato City Council will hold a public hearing and make its final decision on the proposed Costco Mega Gas Station.
Let the Novato City know:
No Costco Mega Gas Station
