Subject:75-foot Tall Building Proposed for SLO
I am strongly opposed to having a 75-foot tall building built in downtown San Luis Obispo. Such a tall
building will destroy San Luis Obispo’s uniqueness, charm and beauty.
When I moved here in 1979, I found the most welcoming and striking thing about San Luis Obispo to be
seeing the hills surrounding the town and being able to see them no matter here I was in the city. It
would be tragic to destroy that!
I believe 50-feet tall is plenty tall enough for any building in San Luis Obispo.
Also, please consider the impact of an earthquake. I was on the 3rd floor of a 3-story building during the
December 2003 earthquake and on the 1st floor of the same building in the September 2004
earthquake. Being on the 3rd floor was terrifying. I can only imagine what being higher up would feel
like.
Please do not let this new building exceed the “normally allowed” 50-feet.
Sincerely,
Miki Gillman
