Subject:Support for Item 3a 1166 Higuera proposal SLO City ARC

Hello,
I work in San Luis Obispo, and I want to express my support for the proposed redevelopment project at 1166 Higuera,
Item 3a on today's agenda.
In my ideal world, this property would see a mixed-use development with several floors of housing above it. But that's
much more expensive. The clever repurposing shipping containers for this design reduces costs, but still creates an
inviting space to enjoy our downtown. It reminds me of some of the creative repurposing seen in Christchurch, New
Zealand after the 2011 earthquakes. It's secure, but not set in stone (literally), so it can serve as a long-term transitional
structure.
It will certainly be much more inviting than the current surface parking lot, and likely to generate far more revenue for
city services. I also really appreciate the dedicated bike parking, which is really insufficient in our downtown, compared
to space for cars.
I encourage the ARC members to approve this plan.
