Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
Regarding Agenda Item #6 for the April 4, 2023 Council Meeting:
We support a Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo, California, denying an
Appeal and upholding the Planning Commission’s decision denying Architectural Review Application
ARCH-0040-2021, regarding development of property at 841 Patricia Drive (APPL-0075-2023).
In January 2023 the Planning Commission UNANIMOUSLY passed a resolution that denied the
construction of a single-family accessory dwelling unit, and access bridge, and denying a request for
an exception from the required creek setback. Now, the owners of the property want to appeal the
Planning Commission's decision because they want what they want, regardless of what is good for
the environment and the community.
That decision was made UNANIMOUSLY after review and consideration of a mountain of evidence
and public input. The Planning Commissioners diligently performed the task expected of them by the
City. Absent evidence of wrongdoing, allowing an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision
would be an outrageous waste of the time that has already been spent on this issue. It would also be
disrespectful to the Planning Commissioners, individually. We urge you to support the work and the
decision of the Commission and pass this resolution.
Sincerely,
Daniel and Barbara Blanke
871 Patricia Drive
