This is public comment for the August 12 meeting of the Planning Commission.
August 10, 2020
To the San Luis Obispo Planning Commission:
This is a letter to urge approval of the Froom Ranch Specific Plan.
My husband and I are San Luis Obispo residents and we hope to live at the Villaggio Life Plan
Community. Because our children live far away, a Life Plan Community is the best choice for our future. We
hope to live out our days in San Luis Obispo, but if Villaggio is unable to build, we will most likely have to move
away.
I believe the Specific Plan is a good fit for the site. The acreage is already developed on three sides, so it is a
logical place for urban growth. Because the plan is primarily for residential housing, it will generate less traffic
than would more intense retail commercial uses. The Trailhead Park will be a special city asset.
It is unlikely that the Villaggio developers will be able to identify another location of this size in San Luis
Obispo. Please allow it to proceed. We want to stay in our home town.
Sincerely,
Mark Turner
