Dear City of San Luis Obispo Construction Board of
Appeals,
I write to request that the Construction Board of Appeals, consider a 180 day delay in the adoption
of Resolution No. CBOA-01-25 entitled “A Resolution of the Construction Board of Appeals of the City
of San Luis Obispo, California, denying the Appeal of Patrick Smith, on behalf of Laurel Creek, LP,
and upholding the Notice & Order, Determinations, and Findings to support declaring the building at
1150 Laurel Lane a dangerous building".
Immediately upholding the Notice and Order dated March 10, 2025, requiring vacation of certain units
and securing them against entry would be extremely detrimental to the SLO City Church, their
employees and congregation members. Closing the facility immediately allows no time for the church
to secure alternate meeting arrangements and will immediately cease our ability to meet in person, a
vital portion of our ministry and any ability to support the congregation and the city and county at
large.
I have attended church in that facility since the occupancy permit was received from the city. I have
not experienced any safety issues during church attendance. The main issue I have seen was with
the entrance to the parking lot. This is an issue that I do believe could be safely resolved temporarily
in order to allow the church to continue to meet and to take advantage of significant tenant
1
improvement investments the congregation has made to the building while alternative locations are
developed.
I respectfully request your consideration of a 180 day delay on closure of the facility.
Sincerely,
Deborah Jelen
SLO City Church Congregant
