CorrespondenceNick Buckley Initial Complaint
NB - Conducted inspection and saw sigma
lettering for Sigma Nu on site in front of the
residence. I then made contact with three
individuals who all stated that they live at the
property and are members of Sigma Nu.
These individuals also confirmed that they had
a Sigma Nu rush event at that location over
the weekend. I asked why they had a rush
event at that location when it wasn't permitted
for fraternity events and why the event was
not held at the permitted location. They said
they have rush events all over and that was
just one of the locations because they live
there. They then asked if they could have
parties there and I stated that they could have
a private party where friends are on site but
fraternity sponsored events, parties,
gatherings, mettings, etc were not allowed
because the property did not have the
appropriate land use authorizations. I also
stated that I would be sending a notice of
violation.
InspectionNick Buckley 10/9/24

compliance required immediately. Copy of the
NOV sent to the current resident.

Dear Property Owner,
City of San Luis Obispo Community Development Department staff noted the following violations of
the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code or other relevant codes at the above listed address:
1. The subject address has been identified as a fraternity/sorority located with the R1 zone. The
current use of a fraternity/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 Table 2-1 of the following cited section
of the 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 brief, 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.
As a result of the inspection and documented event(s), the subject address meets the definition of
a fraternity/sorority and is subject to the City’s use regulations as cited below.

planning commission, as provided in
Section17.110.040 (Procedure—Conditional Use Permit).
A/M The use is allowed above the ground floor only. Subject to

Corrective Action: Please cease all use of the subject address as a fraternity/sorority.

signage or indicators consistent with fraternity uses. Any future verified events at this location
may result in the issuance of fines.

We request that you voluntarily take action to correct the above noted violation(s). Please ensure
compliance with these regulations immediately . These violations constitute a public nuisance and
must be abated. Failure to correct the violation(s) by the specified date will result in the issuance of an
Administrative Citation requiring payment of FINES in accordance with SLOMC Chapter 1.24. For
Municipal Code violations that remain uncorrected after issuance of an Administrative Citation, the City
may seek enforcement by other civil or criminal remedies.
Any person having a title interest in the property may request a Director’s review of this Notice by
