Code Case #: CODE-000022-2025
Dear Property Owner,
City of San Luis Obispo Community Development Department staff has been made aware of violations
of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code located at 388 Chaplin Ln Within the City of San Luis Obispo,
a fraternity or sorority requires a use permit when within the R-3 & R-4 zones and is not allowed within
the R-1 & R-2 zones as described in section 17.10.020 of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code. The city
defines a Fraternity/Sorority as:
Residence for college or university students who are members of a social or educational association
that is affiliated and in good standing with the California Polytechnic State University and where such
an association also holds meetings or gatherings. (SLOMC 17.156.014).
In summary, a location meets the definition of a fraternity or sorority when it houses fraternity/sorority
members AND holds a meeting or gathering hosted by a social or educational association.
