Dear Architectural Review Commission,
My name is Emma Meyer and I am a City and Regional Planning student at Cal Poly and a
member of Cal Poly Urbanists.
I am writing to you in regard to item 4a, comments on 460 Pacific Street. I support the decision
to demolish the single-family residence and build a three-story residential structure. Senate bill
10 recently legalized this type of density and I believe that supporting multi-family housing
promotes inclusivity, diversity, and affordability in our community. I want San Luis Obispo to be
accessible to all who want to live here and those who are struggling to do so currently. 460
Pacific Street is located near multi-family residences already and therefore a change in density
on this lot would not alter the “character of this neighborhood.”
I support a 100% parking reduction as parking minimums are outdated and not based on factual
parking needs. 460 Pacific Street is 0.2 miles in three directions to different SLO Transit bus
stops. The lot is located close to downtown and is a desirable location to not need a car. This is a
transit accessible and walkable area.
When I envision the future of San Luis Obispo it is thriving with culture, diversity, and
opportunity. Single-family zoning is historically antithetical to all of those things. It is a restriction
on growth. Building multi-family housing is an invitation to San Luis Obispo and a step in the
right direction to a more inclusive future.
Thank you for your time,
Emma Meyer
