• Mill Valley clarifies ADU rules to spur housing (marinij.com) — Mill Valley homeowners could soon build larger accessory dwelling units, as the City Council has advanced a zoning change that exempts up to 800 square feet of ADU space from overall home size limits. Combined with the existing garage exemption, this could free up to 1,300 square feet from footprint calculations, aiming to boost smaller, more affordable rentals while fitting neighborhood scale.
• 49th Mill Valley Film Festival Lineup: 'Wild Horse Nine,' 'I Play Rocky,' 'The Debut' and More (awardswatch.com) — Film lovers in Mill Valley can look forward to 11 days of screenings, panels, and family films at the Sequoia Cinema as the 49th Mill Valley Film Festival runs October 1–11. The lineup features high-profile premieres, tributes to major filmmakers and actors, strong Bay Area representation, and special focuses on gender equity, LGBTQ+ stories, and Ibero-American cinema, with additional events in San Rafael, Larkspur, and Berkeley.
• The Best Trail Towns in the U.S. (outsideonline.com) — Mill Valley is highlighted as a trail runner's paradise, with the Dipsea Trail starting downtown and routes fanning out across Mount Tamalpais and the Marin Headlands.
