Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution entitled, "A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of San
Luis Obispo, California, recommending the City Council adopt a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of Environmental Review and Tentative Tract Map No. 3157 to create
twenty-three (23) residential lots in the Low-Density (R-1) Zone (SBDV-0169-2020, EID-
0170-2020)."
To the Members of the Planning Commission; Hello. Thank you very much for your attention to this request.
"Here, Now"
I ask that you not approve this development as configured. As longtime residents of San Luis Obispo we value above
measure this beautiful and unique place. Protecting this specialness should not be compromised. Preserving a greenbelt
around this community should be a vital priority, and not forgotten and laid by, for any development proposal.
We have serious concerns about this proposed project and its effects: environmental degradation with loss of trees,
natural features, and habitat, and major impacts from its excessive density. There would be deleterious effects on traffic
and streets, as well.
We understand there are current and competing pressures to approve petitioners' real estate proposals. Please do not
1
lose sight of what we have here in this community and how easily it can be lost, step by step. Help preserve the value
existing here today, for all of us actually here now, and those who will be here in the future. We know you as individuals
care for this jewel of a small city. Please withhold your approval on this project at this time.
Thank you.
Mary Howell
