Subject:Proposed pause on new parking districts

Dear Council members,
It appears that prior council actions, or inactions, have contributed to a significant shortage of parking options in many
San Luis Obispo neighborhoods. I refer to what appears to be unlimited growth and density in numerous areas with an
assumption that residents will not own cars - using alternate means of transportation. I also refer to the recent North
Chorro Greenway which will remove street parking and cause a permanent detraction in the quality of life in the
neighborhood.
As a result, many neighborhoods will need to rely on preferential parking districts to improve parking options. Placing a
pause on issuing such district permits will unnecessarily cause frustration of residents that have been impacted
negatively by inadequate parking. I suggest that the council not only disregard the proposed pause, but act to
streamline and encourage preferential parking districts in impacted areas.
My best regards,
John Valpey
