Subject:545 Higuera
SLO City Council,
My name is name is Mario Jiminez and my wife Sherry Jiminez has owned Salon
544 for the last 16 years which is located at 544 Higuera St. I am opposed to the
development at 545 Higuera.
The reasoning is, the city has violated its own community design guidelines That
infill residential development should be compatible and scale, siting, detailing,
and overall character with adjacent buildings. The height of infill projects should
be consistent with surrounding residential structures. New development should
respect the privacy of adjacent residential uses so that windows do not overlook
or repair the privacy of indoor or outdoor living space adjacent units. Multi family
structures should be set back with the prevailing setback pattern of immediate
neighborhood. The structure with three or more attached units should incorporate
significant wall and roof articulation to reduce appearance scale. Large projects
should be broken up into groups or structures. “Should” language is intended to
be followed unless there are specific extenuating circumstances, neither
developer nor city has presented any extenuating circumstances. The guidelines
were adopted to prevent big box developments making slow look like“Anywhere
USA “.
Once again, I am opposed to the 545 Higuera Street project.
