Subject:ADU Restrictions - Please DON'T!
To The Planning Commission and City Council of San Luis Obispo:
We are SLO County residents concerned about the severe shortage of
affordable and available housing in our area.
The state of California has made it clear that encouraging ADUs and JADUs
with a minimum of regulatory hoops to jump through is a way to help address
the housing crisis, while helping communities. These units cost less to
construct than apartment buildings and allow homeowners to be part of the
solution without using scarce public funds. Many of the Commission's
proposed ordinances regarding ADUs/JADUs are
unnecessary and will make them much more difficult and
more expensive to build, counter to the goals the state is
trying to achieve. This is a cost our community cannot
afford.
Please keep the restrictions on ADUs/JADUs to the
absolute minimum required by state laws.
Thank you for your service to our community - and to our
neighbors, who desperately need homes.
