Dear Council members,
I'd say I'm surprised by staffs recommendation to allow Mobile Vendors to operate within
a residential neighborhood from 7 AM in the morning until 10 PM at night but I'm really not
This is just another "death by a thousand cuts" to the loss of our residential neighborhoods
to commercial uses. Last week you decided that short term stays in R-1 zones is
appropriate and now this week it's a recommendation to allow more commercial use in
neighborhoods.
This has to stop. Neighborhoods are not intended for commercial uses. The land use
patterns along with building requirements don't lend themselves to commercial users.
Parking, setbacks, coverage, and height restrictions are intended to provide a living
environment that is compatible and conducive with quiet and serenity that people expect
in their home.
Mobile vendors will quickly figure which spot is most desirable to locate within a residential
neighborhood and will set up "shop" daily in that location. The poor homeowner who is
unfortunate enough to have this desired location will have tolerate this use continuously if
you approve allowing mobile vendors in neighborhoods from 7 AM until 10 PM.
It's not appropriate and should have never been considered. I urge you to prohibit Mobile
Vendors within residential neighborhoods.
Sincerely,
Brett Cross
San Luis Obispo
