Letter Regarding Cultural Committee Hearing Notice 1405 Garden Street

Re: Proposed conversion at 1405 Garden Street, San Luis Obispo, CA
Dear Mr. Oetzell,
I received the notice of public hearing for the above referenced property scheduled for
November 18th. I will not be in town on that date so am writing this letter in the hope it can be
added to the record of public comments and taken into account when deciding about the
disposition of the property at 1405 Garden Street.
I am the property owner and occupant of 1430 Garden Street which also encompasses the
neighboring cottage at 1422 Garden Street. I would happily see the property at 1405 Garden
Street improved. However, there are some requirements I am hoping you will consider placing
on the owner and developers of the 1405 Property. They are:
- That the building not exceed two stories. The proposal is for three stories, but that is not
in character with the other dwellings on the street.
- Character of design will be consistent with the neighborhood and an improvement on its
current design and appearance.
- That the type of commercial tenants will continue to be office workers and not become
retail establishments that sell alcohol, create noise, have late hours or attract raucous or
wandering people to the neighborhood.
- That there be two off-street parking spots for each unit of occupancy both residential and
commercial. It is difficult for those of us who live here, and our guests, to find street
parking currently and adding denser occupancy and activity to that site would worsen
that situation.
- That we, as residents on Garden Street be informed of construction dates and times,
that construction not take place over the week-end, or after business hours during the
week, and that any impact on the quality of life for the residents of this block be duly
considered in such a way that we are not overly impacted.
Sincerely,
Kim Cook
