I have another issue that I was wondering about. I am sorry if I’m taking up too much of your time. Here it goes.. In the report, I have 1688 as a location that got cited for noise. I know that this house has operated as a fraternity satellite house for some time. I opened a case on it and sent them a notice of violation for operating as a fraternity out of their residential use permit capacity. 561 My question: Is there a way that I can view the body cam recording from that call? Or could the officer who handled the call have seen letters representing the fraternity while out on the call? I am investigating that they may have had an unsanctioned event (Fraternity Party) that night. If so, then I can move straight to cite the property owner/fraternity for once again operating out of their residential use capacity (No Fraternity Permit). Thank you again for your time and help. I do sincerely appreciate it.

I have another issue that I was wondering about. I am sorry if I’m taking up too much of your time. Here it goes.. In the report, I have 1688 as a location that got cited for noise. I know that this house has operated as a fraternity satellite house for some time. I opened a case on it and sent them a notice of violation for operating as a fraternity out of their residential use permit capacity. My question: Is there a way that I can view the body cam recording from that call? Or could the officer who handled the call have seen letters representing the fraternity while out on the call? I am investigating that they may have had an unsanctioned event (Fraternity Party) that night. If so, then I can move straight to cite the property owner/fraternity for once again operating out of their residential use capacity (No Fraternity Permit). Thank you again for your time and help. I do sincerely appreciate it.

Beta Theta Pi received another citation this weekend. One of my neighbors called me about it on Saturday and was very upset because they could hear the noise from a couple of blocks away. The property also received citations on 2/7/2025 and 2/13/2025. I believe this address was also issued an unruly gathering citation on 5/25/2024 when SLOPD had to respond multiple times and the fraternity members refused to shut down the party. It went on for several hours and we could hear it from our house After a few hours, Steve and I walked to Kentucky and Hathway and spoke with an officer who said they'd already responded three times and had called their sergeant to the scene because the fraternity refused to stop the party. Just FYI, the number of people listed on the dispatch log is self-reported by the person getting the citation. Same with whether there is alcohol or not. The officers do not count the number of people at parties. I've seen parties with well over 100 people and it was listed as 50 on the PD log, so the number listed is not necessarily accurate. I wanted to clarify that as you work on the application of the CUP for the fraternity at 1327 E. Foothill Blvd. That property has been a nightmare. You said that you didn't have any noise citations for the CUP at 1292 Foothill and 123, 135, 137 & 175 Crandall Way, which is Sigma Nu. There was a citation issued to 1292 Foothill Blvd this past weekend. Usually, the name of the fraternity is listed next to the address on the address line in the PD dispatch log. I'm not sure why it's not listed for 1292 Foothill. I've also seen some of the addresses for that CUP at 123, 135, 137 & 175 Crandall Way show up in the SLOPD dispatch log. Those addresses are not on SLOPD's premised list so hopefully it is updated by SLOPD to include all the addresses covered under the CUPs for fraternity operations. The six property addresses at 1264 & 1264 1/2 Foothill Blvd and 1241, 1243, 1249, and 1251 Monte Vista Pl for Lambda Chi Alpha were also not included on the premised list for SLOPD after my last public records request. Hopefully, that has been updated or will be soon. 587 You said that SLOPD indicated there were three citations at these properties since the CUP was approved. Does that include the most recent citation on 2/8/2025? The fraternity also held a live music event that day, in violation of its CUP: Thank you, again, for your help sorting this out. I will send the list of noise calls at documented fraternity addresses, including illegal fraternity houses over the past three weekends when I finish the report.

I'm just trying to get my records straight so would greatly appreciate some clarification about this. I have other questions about the ongoing fraternity operations at documented fraternity houses in R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods that have not been flagged in SLOPD's database so Cal Poly and Cuesta students who work as SNAP officers are sent to those locations instead of sworn officers. SNAP officers can only issue Disturbance Advisement Card (DAC) warnings, not citations. Also, fraternities are not eligible for DACs when a noise call is made so fraternities are holding large events at those illegal fraternity; houses to get around the consequences of an automatic response from SLOPD. It would be great if the database was updated in SLOPD's system so we can get a handle on the illegal fraternity house operations in our neighborhood. My main goal is consistency between code enforcement/community development and SLOPD's database. Thank you for your help. 591 Kathie Walker Fraternity Report to SLO CDD Tway and Mezzapesa October 2023 (2).pdf 592 From:Mezzapesa, John Sent:Wednesday, February 26, 2025 10:59 AM To:Wallace, Christine Subject:RE: Questions about fraternity operations Ok.

Have the addresses for Lambda Chi Alpha (identified in its CUP) been given to SLOPD as a fraternity? The address in SLOPD's system does not identify a fraternity at that address.

SNAP officers can only issue Disturbance Advisement Card (DAC) warnings, not citations. Also, fraternities are not eligible for DACs when a noise call is made so fraternities are holding large events at those illegal fraternity; houses to get around the consequences of an automatic response from SLOPD. It would be great if the database was updated in SLOPD's system so we can get a handle on the illegal fraternity house operations in our neighborhood.

Beta Theta Pi received another citation this weekend. One of my neighbors called me about it on Saturday and was very upset because they could hear the noise from a couple of blocks away. The property also received citations on 2/7/2025 and 2/13/2025. I believe this address was also issued an unruly gathering citation on 5/25/2024 when SLOPD had to respond multiple times and the fraternity members refused to shut down the party. It went on for several hours and we could hear it from our house on After a few hours, Steve and I walked to Kentucky and Hathway and spoke with an officer who said they'd already responded three times and had called their sergeant to the scene because the fraternity refused to stop the party. Just FYI, the number of people listed on the dispatch log is self-reported by the person getting the citation. Same with whether there is alcohol or not. The officers do not count the number of people at parties. I've seen parties with well over 100 people and it was listed as 50 on the PD log, so the number listed is not necessarily accurate. I wanted to clarify that as you work on the application of the CUP for the fraternity at 1327 E. Foothill Blvd. That property has been a nightmare. 602 You said that you didn't have any noise citations for the CUP at 1292 Foothill and 123, 135, 137 & 175 Crandall Way, which is Sigma Nu. There was a citation issued to 1292 Foothill Blvd this past weekend. Usually, the name of the fraternity is listed next to the address on the address line in the PD dispatch log. I'm not sure why it's not listed for 1292 Foothill. I've also seen some of the addresses for that CUP at 123, 135, 137 & 175 Crandall Way show up in the SLOPD dispatch log. Those addresses are not on SLOPD's premised list so hopefully it is updated by SLOPD to include all the addresses covered under the CUPs for fraternity operations. The six property addresses at 1264 & 1264 1/2 Foothill Blvd and 1241, 1243, 1249, and 1251 Monte Vista Pl for Lambda Chi Alpha were also not included on the premised list for SLOPD after my last public records request. Hopefully, that has been updated or will be soon. You said that SLOPD indicated there were three citations at these properties since the CUP was approved. Does that include the most recent citation on 2/8/2025? The fraternity also held a live music event that day, in violation of its CUP: 603 Thank you, again, for your help sorting this out. I will send the list of noise calls at documented fraternity addresses, including illegal fraternity houses over the past three weekends when I finish the report. I'm including previous documentation that shows the houses are fraternity operations. -Kathie On Tue, Feb 25, 2025 at 12:54 PM Mezzapesa, John <JMezzape@slocity.org> wrote: Hi Kathie, Thanks for reaching out with your concerns.

My main goal is consistency between code enforcement/community development and SLOPD's database. Thank you for your help.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Director Tway and Mr. Mezzapesa, This past weekend, my neighbor called me because he was upset that there were ongoing noisy parties from Foothill Blvd that he could hear from his house. Another neighbor on also heard the loud party complained to SLOPD. My neighbor on wondered if I could hear the parties. He said he'd called SLOPD to report the noise in the 1300 block of Foothill (he guessed) and the noise stopped for a short time, but then resumed. So he called SLOPD again. SLOPD had Officer Brewer call my neighbor and the officer said he'd responded to Foothill but the fraternity saw his police unit and turned down the noise, therefore he was not able to document the party. However, the party was at 1264 Foothill and is noted in the SLOPD dispatch log for the weekend. You can see that the call comments on the PD log indicate my neighbor reported a loud party in the 1300-1400 block of Foothill but wasn't sure of the exact address. Officer Brewer identified the party at 1264 Foothill but since the fraternity members saw his police vehicle, they turned down the music before he could get out of his vehicle to document the party so he did not issue a citation. 632 Nonetheless, Lambda Chi Alpha at 1264 Foothill Blvd has been issued three noise citations, not including this call or other complaints that were not cited, since the fraternity received approval for its CUP. This meets the threshold of three violations listed in the CUP which triggers re-review of the fraternity's CUP with the Planning Commission. Additionally, they held a live music event at 1264 Foothill Blvd on 2/8/2025. Although this event was not cited by SLOPD, it is still a violation of the conditions of the fraternity's CUP. A link to the event is posted in their Instagram bio. Tickets were purchased through eventbrite.com. 633 I appreciate that you are taking the fraternity problem seriously and working toward a solution. Historically, before you were employed with the city, Community Development and Code Enforcement did not keep track of the fraternity CUPs or illegal fraternity locations, which led to the total breakdown of our neighborhood. I remain optimistic that we will be able to solve the problem. For example, Alpha Epsilon Pi seems to be taking the matter seriously since its re-review with the Planning Commission and has been much more respectful. However, Lambda Chi Alpha has flouted the terms of its CUP and has held disruptive parties and events, in violation of the conditions of its CUP. Please hold Lambda Chi Alpha responsible for these violations. The CUP states that three violations within 12 months trigger a re-review of the CUP and we have met that threshold, therefore there should be a re-review of the fraternity's CUP. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 634 Respectfully, Kathie Walker 635 From:Tway, Timothea (Timmi) Sent:Tuesday, February 25, 2025 4:08 PM To:kathie walker; Mezzapesa, John Cc:Sandra Rowley; Brett Cross; Corey, Tyler Subject:RE: CUP for 1264 Foothill - Lambda Chi Alpha Hi Kathie, Thank you for this email and the information.

Beta Theta Pi received another citation this weekend. One of my neighbors called me about it on Saturday and was very upset because they could hear the noise from a couple of blocks away. The property also received citations on 2/7/2025 and 2/13/2025. I believe this address was also issued an unruly gathering citation on 5/25/2024 when SLOPD had to respond multiple times and the fraternity members refused to shut down the party. It went on for several hours and we could hear it from our house on After a few hours, Steve and I walked to Kentucky and Hathway and spoke with an officer who said they'd already responded three times and had called their sergeant to the scene because the fraternity refused to stop the party. Just FYI, the number of people listed on the dispatch log is self-reported by the person getting the citation. Same with whether there is alcohol or not. The officers do not count the number of people at parties. I've seen parties with well over 100 people and it was listed as 50 on the PD log, so the number listed is not necessarily accurate. I wanted to clarify that as you work on the application of the CUP for the fraternity at 1327 E. Foothill Blvd. That property has been a nightmare. You said that you didn't have any noise citations for the CUP at 1292 Foothill and 123, 135, 137 & 175 Crandall Way, which is Sigma Nu. There was a citation issued to 1292 Foothill Blvd this past weekend. Usually, the name of the fraternity is listed next to the address on the address line in the PD dispatch log. I'm not sure why it's not listed for 1292 Foothill. I've also seen some of the addresses for that CUP at 123, 135, 137 & 175 Crandall Way show up in the SLOPD dispatch log. Those addresses are not on SLOPD's premised list so hopefully it is updated by SLOPD to include all the addresses covered under the CUPs for fraternity operations. 643 The six property addresses at 1264 & 1264 1/2 Foothill Blvd and 1241, 1243, 1249, and 1251 Monte Vista Pl for Lambda Chi Alpha were also not included on the premised list for SLOPD after my last public records request. Hopefully, that has been updated or will be soon. You said that SLOPD indicated there were three citations at these properties since the CUP was approved. Does that include the most recent citation on 2/8/2025? The fraternity also held a live music event that day, in violation of its CUP: Thank you, again, for your help sorting this out. I will send the list of noise calls at documented fraternity addresses, including illegal fraternity houses over the past three weekends when I finish the report. I'm including previous documentation that shows the houses are fraternity operations. -Kathie On Tue, Feb 25, 2025 at 12:54 PM Mezzapesa, John <JMezzape@slocity.org> wrote: Hi Kathie, 644 Thanks for reaching out with your concerns. Please see my responses below. 1. Have the addresses for Lambda Chi Alpha (identified in its CUP) been given to SLOPD as a fraternity? The address in SLOPD's system does not identify a fraternity at that address. I checked with PD and they do have the address for Lambda Chi Alpha (1264 Foothill) identified as a fraternity in their system. 2. How many noise citations has Lambda Chi Alpha had since its CUP was approved? I checked with PD - since approval, three citations have been issued at 1264 Foothill. 3. Does Beta Theta Pi have a CUP at 1327 Foothill? Even though it is shown as a fraternity in SLOPD's database, my records don't show a CUP for 1327 Foothill Blvd. There is no issued CUP for a fraternity at 1327 Foothill. An initial application was received to establish a fraternity in September of 2024. It underwent one review and was returned to the applicant with comments in October. A second submission was received on February 5 and is currently under review. I would also note that this location has received a few noise citations from PD and subsequent notices & citations for land use violations from our department. This information has been provided to planning to be included for consideration regarding their recommendation to planning commission. 4. There is a CUP for 1290 & 1292 Foothill, 123, 135, 137 & 175 Crandall Way (#109-05). It was a supplement to the CUP for 1292 Foothill (#174-97) and was included in the report I gave you on 11/8/2023, which I have attached to this email on pages 28-32 of 95 pages. There have been noise calls for the addresses on Crandall Way but they do not show up in SLOPD's database as a fraternity. It appears the terms of the CUP were never fulfilled, therefore perhaps that CUP is not valid but I'm not sure. Would you please let me know the status of those addresses? Sigma Nu occupies 1292 Foothill and a sorority occupies 1290 Foothill, and I believe Sigma Nu also occupies the properties on Crandall Way. I'm just trying to get my records straight so would greatly appreciate some clarification about this. 645 The CUP (109-05) is valid and encompasses all addresses listed on the permit (1290 & 1292 Foothill, 123, 135, 137, 175 Crandall). I don’t think we have any noise citations confirmed to have been related to a sponsored event that have resulted in CUP violations for these addresses. Let me know if I can provide further clarification.

The following are questions that have been asked and we are hoping to get them answered! 1. While discussing land use it was mentioned that if someone was wearing a Fraternity t-shirt on a property it could be considered improper use of the property if that property did not have the proper permits, as well as if a Fraternity Flag was visible on the property whether in the window or on a flagpole. Can you clarify how this would be enforced? 2. Where can a code enforcement officer access a residential property when enforcing the municipal code? What allows a code enforcement officer to enter the property? 4. Can you clarify how the Code is enforced when it comes to Noise? Is it up to officer discretion? Is there a decible reading requirement? 649 5. Can you share a list of common code violations that are not related to Housing zoning or noise? things like trash, property safety, parking, etc.? 6. Can you clarify if there are action items that properties need to be complete after receiving a Notice of Violation? Are there fines associated with notices? 7. We discussed the opportunity for a special event permit for events that are located in R1 and R2 Zones as well as R3 and R4 Zones without a Conditional Use Permit. What is the process to get these permits? Would they be awarded to Fraternities or sororities in locations without a Conditional Use Permit? What type of events can get approved? 8. Can you Layout what Zero tolerance means for Code Enforcement and how Zero tolerance will be enforced? 9. What happens if a Fraternity or Sorority loses their Conditional Use permit? 10. What are the defining factors of a R-Zone? How is the density of a zone set/calculated? 11. How is Code Enforcement approaching the enforcement of housing of organizations that are affiliated and good standing with Cal Poly but who are not connected to The Fraternity and Sorority Life office?

Please see my responses below. 1. Have the addresses for Lambda Chi Alpha (identified in its CUP) been given to SLOPD as a fraternity? The address in SLOPD's system does not identify a fraternity at that address. I checked with PD and they do have the address for Lambda Chi Alpha (1264 Foothill) identified as a fraternity in their system. 2. How many noise citations has Lambda Chi Alpha had since its CUP was approved? I checked with PD - since approval, three citations have been issued at 1264 Foothill. 3. Does Beta Theta Pi have a CUP at 1327 Foothill? Even though it is shown as a fraternity in SLOPD's database, my records don't show a CUP for 1327 Foothill Blvd. There is no issued CUP for a fraternity at 1327 Foothill. An initial application was received to establish a fraternity in September of 2024. It underwent one review and was returned to the applicant with comments in October. A second submission was received on February 5 and is currently under review. I would also note that this location has received a few noise citations from PD and subsequent notices & citations for land use violations from our department. This information has been provided to planning to be included for consideration regarding their recommendation to planning commission. 4. There is a CUP for 1290 & 1292 Foothill, 123, 135, 137 & 175 Crandall Way (#109-05). It was a supplement to the CUP for 1292 Foothill (#174-97) and was included in the report I gave you on 11/8/2023, which I have attached to this email on pages 28-32 of 95 pages.

Sigma Nu occupies 1292 Foothill and a sorority occupies 1290 Foothill, and I believe Sigma Nu also occupies the properties on Crandall Way. I'm just trying to get my records straight so would greatly appreciate some clarification about this. The CUP (109-05) is valid and encompasses all addresses listed on the permit (1290 & 1292 Foothill, 123, 135, 137, 175 Crandall). I don’t think we have any noise citations confirmed to have been related to a sponsored event that have resulted in CUP violations for these addresses. Let me know if I can provide further clarification. 651 Regards, John Mezzapesa Interim Deputy Building Official Community Development Building and Safety 919 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401-3668 E jmezzapesa@slocity.org T 805.781.7179 From: kathie walker < Sent: Monday, February 17, 2025 4:17 PM To: Tway, Timothea (Timmi) <TTway@slocity.org>; Mezzapesa, John <JMezzape@slocity.org> Cc: Brett Cross < ; Carolyn Smith < ; Sandra Rowley < Subject: Questions about fraternity operations This message is from an External Source.

At today's SCLC meeting, Mila LaBarre (neighborhood representative on the SCLC) brought up the situation with winter rush events held at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood despite the presentation made by code enforcement at Cal Poly's Greek life event on 1/11/2025. She explained that when city officials went to the neighborhood and observed rush events on 1/17/2025, fraternities moved their tables with laptops into the backyards and denied they were holding rush events. Then fraternities would not answer the door when city officials knocked at addresses where rush events were advertised and guys could be heard in the backyard. Jason Mockford is a member of SCLC and said he is meeting with you next week so I am trying to put together the information for you, including photos and social media posts, the fraternity events held at illegal fraternity houses during the fall and winter rush. Also, Christine Dietrick emailed me a few weeks ago about a central repository for all the information to enable better communication between Community Development and SLOPD. Such a great idea! She hinted that she is working to find a solution. I don't think Cal Poly is likely to cooperate without legal intervention (based on my experience and conversations with other people who work closely with Cal Poly administration) but am hoping for the best. -Kathie On Thu, Feb 20, 2025 at 7:43 PM Tway, Timothea (Timmi) <TTway@slocity.org> wrote: Hi Kathie, I want to acknowledge that we have received your email, I apologize for the delay in our response.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Hi Timmi and John, I'm hoping you can answer some questions for me. 1. Have the addresses for Lambda Chi Alpha (identified in its CUP) been given to SLOPD as a fraternity? The address in SLOPD's system does not identify a fraternity at that address. A current screenshot is below. Usually, if there is a CUP, the fraternity is identified in SLOPD's database as a fraternity, as shown below for Beta Theta Pi. 2. How many noise citations has Lambda Chi Alpha had since its CUP was approved? 3. Does Beta Theta Pi have a CUP at 1327 Foothill? Even though it is shown as a fraternity in SLOPD's database, my records don't show a CUP for 1327 Foothill Blvd. 4. There is a CUP for 1290 & 1292 Foothill, 123, 135, 137 & 175 Crandall Way (#109-05). It was a supplement to the CUP for 1292 Foothill (#174-97) and was included in the report I gave you on 11/8/2023, which I have attached to this email on pages 28-32 of 95 pages. There have been noise calls for the addresses on Crandall Way but they do not show up in SLOPD's database as a fraternity. It appears the terms of the CUP were never 680 fulfilled, therefore perhaps that CUP is not valid but I'm not sure. Would you please let me know the status of those addresses? Sigma Nu occupies 1292 Foothill and a sorority occupies 1290 Foothill, and I believe Sigma Nu also occupies the properties on Crandall Way. I'm just trying to get my records straight so would greatly appreciate some clarification about this. I have other questions about the ongoing fraternity operations at documented fraternity houses in R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods that have not been flagged in SLOPD's database so Cal Poly and Cuesta students who work as SNAP officers are sent to those locations instead of sworn officers. SNAP officers can only issue Disturbance Advisement Card (DAC) warnings, not citations. Also, fraternities are not eligible for DACs when a noise call is made so fraternities are holding large events at those illegal fraternity; houses to get around the consequences of an automatic response from SLOPD. It would be great if the database was updated in SLOPD's system so we can get a handle on the illegal fraternity house operations in our neighborhood. My main goal is consistency between code enforcement/community development and SLOPD's database. Thank you for your help.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Good morning, I have a quick question for you. I was just reviewing the new city goals and wanted to make sure I understand the neighborhood livability goal. Are there specific objectives or benchmarks within the healthy, safe, and affordable framework? I have read the articles citing illegal fraternity houses as a primary concern and want to understand this more. In particular, how can I distinguish between an illegal fraternity house and a group of students who live in the same house? I want Cal Poly and ASI to come to the table about this goal, because it is clearly a point of frustration for the city, and I want to be clear on how we can move forward towards solutions. I'd love to hear your thoughts about what student advocacy and ASI's role should be in helping you all reach this goal. As always, feel free to give me a call or text. If you would like to attend our March 5 meeting, which is the last meeting before St. Patricks, let me know before next Thursday so I can add you to the agenda.

This past week, I attended the Community Forum and had great conversations with City staff, including those in the public safety sector. As you may know, I've been advocating for stronger renter protections within the city limits alongside other students and residents. Given your extensive experience working in this area on public safety matters, I would love to chat about your thoughts regarding rental conditions, etc. I'm sure you're quite busy preparing for everything relating to the safety enhancement zone and all the other things going on, but I would love to sit down and chat about your perspective and any suggestions you may have. No worries if you don't have the time now, and thank you for your help! Best, 708 Tyler C.

In May 2013, Council approved the formation of the Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Working Group consisting of Cal Poly leadership, Cuesta College leadership, SLO City staff, residents and students representing both institutions. As detailed in the Council Agenda Report presented by City staff on May 19, 2015, six (6) objectives were identified and researched by the group and recommendations were provided that supported the vision and goals of the working group. Over the next several years, the recommendations continued to be vetted and many were implemented. The recommendations not implemented were thoroughly vetted and determined to not be acted on for various reasons. The following will detail each objective, recommendation and outcome. Objective One: Define short-term actions to enhance the quality of life Goal: To define short-term actions that could be implemented to enhance the quality of life for all residents, particularly associated in the timeframe around the start of Cal Poly’s fall term. • Schedule regular neighborhood tours – Implement. CP began neighborhood walks with residents and City staff and received feedback on problem locations. Noise challenges and blight were handled by Code Enforcement. • Investigate establishing SNAP ride along program and promote current police ride- along program. – SNAP ride alongs not implemented as it was determined that part- time civilian employees do not have the same training as sworn officers. Police ride- alongs are still available with sworn staff. • Explore the options of creating a noise ordinance in public spaces – Not Implemented. Per the City Attorney, this type of ordinance would violate the Constitution. • Consider expanding tools to enforce ordinances for nuisance properties, tagging properties. – Not implemented for noise. Per the City Attorney, noise citations are the method of addressing immediate noise issues. Property maintenance nuisance properties are addressed by Code Enforcement. • Evaluate policies so that new development or redevelopment does not unduly impact neighborhoods. – Not implemented in the way the report intended, however, development/redevelopment policy is both State and City driven and each development project is assessed at each stage to comply with existing law. Objective Two: Define Stakeholders’ needs and success • Evaluate best practices and implement strategies to reduce the number of disruptions – Implemented. Outreach and education were revamped, party registration was implemented in 2017, “sober hours” visits implemented to repeat offending houses, landlord outreach during tenant turnover. • Explore and implement strategies to address the concentration of bars in the downtown using LUCE. – Implemented. Research was conducted by the Community Development Dept. and SLMC 17.86.040 was amended in 2018 to improve enforcement of problematic alcohol outlets. Alcohol Beverage Control continues to be a strong community partner in managing the establishment violations. At this point in 2024, there are less nightlife alcohol outlets and the challenges of ten years ago have softened. • Implement educational programs to increase the number of student-aged residents who bring in their trashcans after pick-up. – Implemented. Code Enforcement launched a campaign in 2015 and proactively enforced. Proactive enforcement transitioned to complaint-based enforcement during the pandemic. • Continue to implement strategies to address homelessness in SLO – Implemented/on-going. Visit https://www.slocity.org/living/neighborhood/homelessness for an overview. • Implement strategies to reduce traffic issues in neighborhoods. – Implemented/on- going. Visit https://www.slocity.org/government/department-directory/public- works/programs-and-services/transportation-planning-and-engineering for details on current neighborhood traffic and transportation planning and projects. Objective Three: Identify university/city best practices • Create and implement a transition to Off-Campus Living Education Program, to be shared with Cuesta College’s Student Life Office – Education program implemented, stayed with CP. The program has had several iterations, it is currently managed by the Dean of Students Office. https://deanofstudents.calpoly.edu/offcampushousing • Work with the city to generate a neighborhood map of housing rental properties and provide outreach to student renters by funding welcome bags for neighbors to distribute to establish positive interactions – Not implemented, resource prohibitive. • Create a Renter/Rental Housing Inspection Program. – Implemented in 2016, then rescinded 18 months later. • Develop outreach and marketing efforts toward students (Cal Poly) – Implemented with Educated Renter and ASI created and distributed refrigerator magnets in 2017 with municipal code information. • Implement a Party Registration Program. – Implemented and ongoing. • Initiate Dialog Dinners or Block Parties for students and residents to talk about what they like most about their neighborhoods – One gathering was planned and implemented by ASI, attendance was poor. • Promote the principles of the “The Mustang Way” in neighborhoods – Implemented in 2015 by ASI. Unknown if the principles are still promoted by Cal Poly. • Continue to engage and communicate collaboratively among students, non-students and city groups – Ongoing with SCLC. • Utilize various on-campus departments and offices that support living off-campus to support students, non-students and permanent residents living in neighborhoods. – Implemented via Student Affairs to include Educated Renter, FSL, OSRR. • Develop proactive engagement of law and code enforcement with visits to properties of concern; “Knock and Talk”. – Implemented and ongoing. • Implement a Joint Letter Program. – Not implemented. Contact with landlords related to enforcement continues to come solely from SLOPD. Off-campus criminal behavior addressed by OSRR, but SLMC violations are not. Objective Four: Review enforcement best practices • City and Cal Poly officials to craft a Memorandum of Understanding agreement between the city and university regarding police operational protocol within a one- mile radius – Implemented and ongoing. • Partner Cal Poly and Cuesta police officers with San Luis Obispo Neighborhood Officers to coordinate resources and achieve program goals – Implemented pre- pandemic with CPPD specific to busy party weekends and mutual still occurs but not specific to SLOPD Neighborhood Officers. • City should explore additional proactive educational opportunities with Cal Poly and Cuesta College to change the student culture related to neighborhood wellness – Assigned to SCLC. • Implement a keg registration program – Not implemented. SLOPD researched and recommended to council to not move forward. • Conduct an internal assessment of the San Luis Obispo Police Department staffing to prepare for growth within the city and on the Cal Poly campus to ensure staffing needs match the population – not implemented at that time, but good news, the staffing study is currently happening (Summer/Fall 2024.) • Conduct an internal assessment of the University Police Department staffing to meet the growth on the Cal Poly campus – Implemented. • Explore the possibility of Cal Poly Police being able to issue City Municipal Administrative Citations – Implemented, MOU completed in 2015 and CPPD has SLMC powers up to one mile off campus. • Location of a university police substation within the new residence hall project to coordinate law enforcement problem-solving efforts – Not implemented. Objective Five: Engage stakeholders, review current educational & information efforts • Create an annual communications plan containing neighborhood wellness messages and a process for communicating the information effectively to maximize resources – Implemented and ongoing. Objective Six: Prepare for sustained engagement to achieve desired vision & goal • Re-invest in the Student-Community Liaison Committee – Implemented, on-going. • The Student-Community Liaison Committee should assess the effectiveness of each recommendation once they have been implemented – Not implemented by SCLC, but each recommendation implemented by the owning agency manages the assessments. • Shift SCLC memberships – Not implemented in years immediately following release of the report, however the resident positions were recruited for, and seats filled. In academic year 23/24, the SCLC bylaws were reviewed, and revisions made to define voting member seats. • Host an annual town hall meeting – Not implemented. As SCLC is chaired by students, once the ASI turnover occurs, the interest in continuing with past chair agendas is quite challenging to carry forward.

The effort was launched in May of 2013 with the support of the San Luis Obispo City Council, Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong, and Cuesta College President/Superintendent Gil Stork. This initiative aimed to discuss the changing culture of neighborhoods in San Luis Obispo resulting from the shifts of owner-occupied households to the increase in rental units, specifically by student-aged individuals. Collectively, the working group has a vision of building “a community in which year-round residents and students actively collaborate to build community and communicate in an environment that fosters mutual respect and understanding.” The unified goal of the working group has been to develop ideas for stakeholder consideration that are intended to “ enhance the quality of life for all residents.” The group responded to the six objectives created by the San Luis Obispo City Council with subsequent recommendations, desired outcomes, implementation leads and partners, and timelines for implementation. The objectives are outlined below, and each is addressed thoroughly in this report. Define short-term actions to enhance the quality of life Define stakeholders’ needs and success Identify university/city best practices Review enforcement best practices Engage stakeholders: review current educational and information efforts Prepare for sustained engagement to achieve desired vision and goal W From the recommendations above and active collaboration within the working group, three overall themes emerged: Increase communications from Cal Poly and Cuesta College Develop responses through solution-oriented initiatives Set in motion proactive measures to avoid repeating past mistakes and preventing new problems from occurring Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 4 PROCESS Beginning work in October of 2013, the Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort working group conducted a thoughtful study of the objectives outlined by the San Luis Obispo City Council and created a process to efficiently move the community into action. Champions were assigned to each objective, and the subsequent 13 meetings, hosted by Cuesta College, were devoted to discussions of the objectives, led by the champions. Champions for the objectives are presented below: N ote: Names in parentheses denote past working group members. During the robust discussions for each objective the entire working group offered feedback on the work of the champions and direction on how to proceed. Each group returned to conduct further studies based on the feedback and direction of this group. The champions provided recommendations to the working group in late 2014. Each of the recommendations were discussed and affirmed during the monthly meetings, which focused specifically on one particular objective. It is those recommendations that are presented in this report. OBJECTIVE ONE: Karen Adler, Julie Towery OBJECTIVE TWO: Katie Lichtig, Joi Sullivan (Jason Colombini), Dr. Anthony Gutierrez, Ju v ent i no Or t i z OBJECTIVE THREE: Derek Johnson, Stephanie Teaford (Justin Wellner, Betsy Kinsley) OBJECTIVE FOUR: Joe Arteaga, Steve Gesell, George Hughes, Chris Staley, Brenda Trobaugh OBJECTIVE FIVE: Scott Chedester (Charles Scovell), Dr. Anthony Gutierrez, Kimberly Hampton, Joi Sullivan (Jason Colombini), Christine Wallace OBJECTIVE SIX: Dr. Keith Humphrey, Sandee McLaughlin Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 5 Goal To define short-term actions that could be implemented to enhance the quality of life for all residents, particularly associated in the timeframe around the start of Cal Poly’s fall term. OBJECTIVE ONE: Define short-term actions to enhance the quality of life Champions Karen Adler, Community Julie Towery, Community Background Historically, there has been an increase in calls for service around the neighborhood areas adjacent to Cal Poly coinciding with start of the school year. This objective is set to define what short-term actions could lead to positive long-term effects during that timeframe. Short-term actions are also distributed among all objectives, thus are not exclusive to objective one. Recommendations Schedule regular neighborhood tours with city council, mayor, neighbors, Cal Poly and Cuesta College leaders, etc. Investigate establishing Student Nighttime Auxiliary Patrol (S.N.A.P.) Ride-Along program and promote current Police Ride Along program Explore the option of creating a noise ordinance in public spaces on streets and sidewalks for gatherings of more than 50 people by issuing citations or other alternative options Consider expanding tools to enforce ordinances for nuisance properties including, but not limited to, “tagging” properties that meet a definition of a public nuisance or unruly gatherings in terms of both property-maintenance concerns and behavior issues Evaluate policies so that new development or redevelopment does not unduly impact neighborhoods Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 6 Actions Desired Outcomes I mpl ement at i on Leads & Partners Timeline for Implementation Schedule regular neighborhood tours with city council, mayor, neighbors, Cal Poly and Cuesta leaders, etc. Allow neighbors to point out neighborhood issues Cal Poly Ongoing, began Summer of 2014 Investigate establishing S.N.A.P.

Background The purpose of this objective is to identify the stakeholders’ needs and suggest solutions so that the outcomes reflect a desired environment for the community. To obtain a comprehensive assessment of the community’s needs and what success looked like, a communitywide survey was mailed in May of 2014. A total of 3, 774 surveys were completed and returned, physically and electronically. Of the completed surveys, 1,706 were from non- student residents, 1,783 were from individuals identifying themselves as either Cal Poly or Cuesta students, and 318 individuals did not associate themselves with any group. The full survey results and discussion is offered in Appendix C. Recommendations The assessment results provided a clearer picture of the stakeholder perceptions, which helped develop potential recommendations, such as: Evaluate best practices and implement strategies to reduce the number of disruptions from parties and noise in neighborhoods (as referenced in Objective Three) Develop and implement a rental housing inspection program Implement a range of strategies to change the relationship and culture between students and non-students in neighborhoods Explore and implement strategies to address the concentration of bars in the downtown area and related safety issues. Consider using strategies identified in the Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) update to achieve this objective Implement educational programs to increase the number of student-aged residents who bring in their trashcans on the same day the trash is picked up Implement strategies to reduce traffic issues in neighborhoods.

Background Universities and colleges across the nation impact the communities in which they exist in both positive and negative ways. The impact of students in residential neighborhoods has prompted higher education institutions to share best practices that can lead to improvements in community relationships and mitigate negative impacts. The objective explored various programs and efforts undertaken by universities and colleges nationwide. The following recommendations could provide a framework for improving relations between student residents and permanent residents of San Luis Obispo. Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 11 Recommendations To address student rental properties Create and implement a transition to Off-Campus Living Education Program, to be shared with Cuesta College’s Student Life Office Include expectations and responsibilities of living in neighborhoods in the City of San Luis Obispo (e.g. local ordinances) The successful completion of a culminating test will result in a Preferred Renter Certification with potential benefits offered by landlords Work with the city to generate a neighborhood map of housing rental properties and provide outreach to student renters by funding welcome bags for neighbors to distribute to establish positive interactions (University of Colorado, Boulder) Create a Renter/Rental Housing Inspection Program. Students and landlords can work together for preferred renter/rental designation o Beautification Program: “Door Decal” or “Golden Arrow” for upkeep of property and meeting standards for appearance and safety o Student Affairs Awards: Awarded yearly to no-complaint housing (LaSalle University) o Preferred rental properties listed with the city o Request the release of judicial information to off campus entities (Plymouth State University) Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 12 To alleviate nighttime noise and to build compassion and understanding Develop outreach and marketing efforts toward students (University of Massachusetts, Amherst) Implement a Party Registration Program. Develop a program to incentivize party registration that provides the opportunity for the San Luis Obispo Police Department to contact the party registrant and offer a 20-minute warning before dispatching S.N.A.P. or a police officer. This provides the students a way to minimize impacts on enforcement resources (University of Colorado, Boulder) Initiate Dialog Dinners or Block Parties for students and residents to talk about what they like most about their neighborhoods (University of Colorado, Boulder) Promote the principles of the The Mustang Way in neighborhoods: o Student Neighborhood Liaisons: Block parties/events for networking. (University of Minnesota, Twin Cities & Towson University) o Neighborhood Helping Hands: Volunteerism for neighbor assistance (e.g. fruit picking, ladder needs, barn raising, etc.).

OBJECTIVE FOUR: Revi ew enforcement best pract i ces Champions Joe Arteaga, Cuesta College Steve Gesell, City of San Luis Obispo George Hughes, Cal Poly Chr i s Staley , Ci ty of San L ui s Obi spo Brenda Trobaugh, Cal Poly Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 18 Background In the past several years, both Cal Poly and the City of San Luis Obispo have engaged in numerous programs to address quality of life and community wellness. Both organizations have expanded professional staff dedicated to neighborhood wellness, created and modified ordinances, and implemented new programs to address pubic disorder and nuisance crimes including but not limited to: Amendments to the noise ordinance In 2010 the San Luis Obispo Police Department made recommendations to the city council regarding changes to the existing noise ordinance to improve noise reduction efforts. The modifications included reducing the number of allowable warnings to one every six months and to hold residential property owners responsible for repeat noise violations. Many landlords have since added language to their lease and rental agreements with penalties levied to their tenants who receive noise violations. These modifications were accepted by city council and noise complaints were significantly reduced by 30 percent for the following year and have been maintained since (see Table 1 below). Table 1: Total noise party violations reported from 2009 to 2014. 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Noise Violations 2584 2238 2013 1644 1672 1729 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 Noise Party Violations Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 19 Unruly Gathering Ordinance In 2010 the San Luis Obispo Police Department conducted research on Unruly Gathering Ordinances. After extensive research and outreach to the community and Cal Poly, an Unruly Gathering Ordinance was proposed and accepted by the city council. The ordinance was intended to prevent substantial disturbances on private property in a neighborhood. This included unlawful and disruptive behavior by large groups of people. On April 6, 2010, the city council adopted section SLMC 9.13.030 Prohibition of Unruly Gatherings. A violation of the Unruly Gathering Ordinance consists of hosting a gathering on private property that: Involves 20 people or more; and Involves unlawful conduct that creates a substantial disturbance in a significant segment of a neighborhood. “Unlawful conduct that results in a substantial disturbance can include such things as excessive noise, public drunkenness, serving alcohol to minors, fighting, urinating in public, crowds overflowing into yards, sidewalks, or streets, or similar unlawful behaviors.” Neighborhood Officer Program The San Luis Obispo Police Department initiated its Neighborhood Officer Program on December 1, 2013. The goal of the Neighborhood Officer Program is to quickly identify community issues, concerns, problems and crime trends that have long-term quality-of-life impacts on a particular neighborhood. The Neighborhood Officer Program allows for officers to coordinate resources to help solve these problems. This model of policing is both a philosophy and an organizational strategy that allows police and community residents to work closely together in new ways to solve problems associated with crime, fear of crime, social disorder and neighborhood decay. Attainable goals of this program include: Maintain or increase public confidence in the Police Department Decrease fear of crime Listen to and address citizen concerns Bring community resources together to solve problems Impact specific crime problems Reduce repetitive calls for service Educate the public about its Police Department Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort, Final Report | San Luis Obispo, CA Page 20 Student Community Success Program In 2013 Cal Poly hired a full-time off-campus student life coordinator to be both proactive and reactive in supporting students and neighborhood residents with neighborhood wellness initiatives. Responsibilities of the position include: Coordinate the resolution of off-campus conduct with university administration, city government and community members to find solutions for student’s problems or concerns Assist in mediating and resolving student/community conflicts Effect change in the social climate and relationships with specific responsibility of working with students and their neighbors within the local community Implement training sessions, presentations, and educational programs regarding substance abuse, civic and social responsibility One goal of the program is to create a Student Community Success Program with the mission to help students be successful off campus and address community concerns. The program is intended to change and encourage inappropriate behavior through community and student meetings, workshops, leadership panels, and peer-mentoring opportunities. Cal Poly University Police Off-Campus Patrols By authority of the California Penal Code, the University Police Department has legal authority to exercise peace officer powers within a one-mile radius of the exterior boundaries of campus (see Appendix A). In 2014 Cal Poly hired two additional police officers to expand proactive patrols within the neighborhoods directly adjacent to campus. The focus of these patrols has been to proactively discourage and enforce public disorder crimes.

OBJECTIVE FIVE: Engage stakeholders: review current educational & information efforts Champions Scott Chedester (Charles Scovell), Cuesta College Dr. Anthony Gutierrez, Cuesta College Kimberly Hampton, Cal Poly Joi Sullivan (Jason Colombini), Cal Poly Christine Wallace, City of San Luis Obispo Background This objective examines the methods, content and effectiveness of educational efforts put forward by Cal Poly, Cuesta College, the City of San Luis Obispo, and student resident groups. The inventory of channels of communication was compiled by representatives of Cal Poly, Cuesta College, and the City of San Luis Obispo. Neighborhood wellness meeting attendees, Cal Poly and Cuesta College student focus groups were presented with the inventory. An additional student subcommittee met to discuss the effectiveness of current methods and content. Suggestions for outreach changes made during the presentations based on the content effectiveness are reflected in the recommendations of this report. Recommendations The recommendation is to collaboratively create an annual communications plan containing neighborhood wellness messages and a process for communicating the information effectively to maximize resources. The communication plan should be reassessed annually to evaluate effectiveness and to ensure resources are not duplicated or wasted. Communications plan participants could consist of representatives from Cal Poly, Cuesta College and the city.

Additionally, the goal is to sustain regular communications between Cal Poly, Cuesta College, the City of San Luis Obispo, residents and students. OBJECTIVE SIX: Prepare for sustained engagement to achieve desired vision & goal Champions Dr. Keith Humphrey, Cal Poly Sandee McLaughlin, Cuesta College Background Neighborhood wellness issues in San Luis Obispo have historically been fragmented within each agency by implementing its own projects, causing confusion among year-round residents, and limiting the effectiveness of each individual effort. There is a unified desire among all constituencies in San Luis Obispo to see the quality of life improve in neighborhoods, and a structure to coordinate these efforts was missing. For almost three decades, the Student- Community Liaison Committee (SCLC) has brought the students of Cal Poly and Cuesta College together with city officials and residents for communication and discussion. This forum has been valuable to all parties, as any culture change related to neighborhood wellness rests with the students.

Chi, Ph.D. Department of Statistics California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 1 Intro duction On May 21, 2013, the Neighborhood Wellne ss / Community Civility Effort was launched in order to foster and improve the relationship between year round residents of San Luis Obispo, and students of California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), and Cuesta College. Specifically, there has been a growing concern regarding student partying and disruptive behavior across the city of San Luis Obispo. This has been highlighted by particular incidents of recent years, such as Cal Poly’s Week of Welco me (WOW) in 2012, when an estimated 2000+ students congregated in the residential area just directly south of campus, causing disruption and safety concerns as roads became impassable (City of San Luis Obispo, 2013) In addition to implementing particular strategies aimed at addressing WOW scheduling to at- tempt to keep students occupied on campus instead of disrupting neighborhoods surrounding cam- pus, the Neighborhood Wellness / Community Civility Effort implemented an opinion survey across the city of San Luis Obispo. This survey was meant to capture feedback from permanent residents and students, with the aim of identifying strategies to produce outcomes towards the overall goal of neighborhood wellness. In this report, data from the survey a re analyzed and reported in order to identify any notable trends. With no specific a priori hypotheses, this exploratory data analysis aims to capture anything that may be revealed from the data. A particular focus of the analyses, however, will be on identifying potential sources of conflict between Cal Poly students and non-student residents of San Luis Obispo. APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 54 2 Metho dology The City of San Luis Obispo Opinion Survey was distributed with utility bills and across campus at Cal Poly. A total of 3,807 responses were received, and entered into SurveyMonkey (SurveyMonkey Inc., 2014). For analyses, the entire dataset was exported from SurveyMonkey as a comma-separated text file and imported into the statistical analys is p latform called R (R Development Core Team, 2011). Questions were written to either gain identifying information on an individual (such as “With what ethnicity do you most identify?”), or to gain content regarding how the individual feels about a particular topic or situation (such as a Likert-scale response to “I feel as though my neighbors are respectful of my property.”). For this report, these will be referred to as “identifying questions” and “content questions,” respectively. Figures 1 and 2 below are the actual survey, where the identifying questions can be seen in Figure 1: Questions 1 through 12, and the content questions are Questions 13 through the end, across both Figures 1 and 2. 1.

Collectively, the group has a vision of a community in which year round residents and students actively collaborate to build community and communicate in an environment that fosters mutual respect and understanding. With this vision comes a goal of enhancing the quality of life for all residents, with particular emphasis on building positive relations between residential and student–aged neighbors through a cultural shift in social behaviors. To learn more about this initiative, please visit www.slocity.org/police/communitycivility.asp The following survey is an integral s t e p i n this initiative. In order to assess the current conditions of neighborhood wellness, surveying residents of all ages and backgrounds will provide guidance for future actions taken by officials of San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and Cuesta College. Please answer honestly and explain when you feel necessary. Should you have concerns arise about the survey, please contact Christine Wallace at cwallace@slocity.org. You have two options. You may complete the enclosed survey and return it in the postage-paid envelope OR you may complete the survey on-line at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/ s/PPNJHF6. Only one survey per person and only one survey per official postage-paid envelope please. Figure 2: Opinion Survey, page 2 Where appropriate, distributions of variables were compared using a standard statistical proce- dure known as a χ2 goodness-of-fit test (Pearson, 1900). As this pro ject was exploratory in nature, however, few formal statistical tests were actually performed. The ma jority of trends were simply shown in a qualitative manner, in graphical or tabular form. Additionally, a regular expression search was performed for certain free response questions, to isolate any common words that appeared most frequently. 3 Results 3.1 Descriptive Statistics An overview of our dataset, resulting from 3807 survey responses, is shown in Table 1. As expected, the vast ma jority of those between 18-24 years old are Cal Poly students (1591 out of 1672). Also, approximately 23% of non-students live in two areas that have a substantial student population: the APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 56 All residents Non-students Cal Poly Students Cuesta Students Characteristic Count Percent Count Percent Count Percent Count Percent Age 18-24 years o ld 1672 47.913 0.81591 95.86051.7 25-31 years o ld 144 4.168 4 54 3.32118.1 32-38 years o ld 117 3.4101 6 10 0.6 5 4.3 39-45 years o ld 119 3.4107 6.33 0.2 8 6.9 46-51 years o ld 114 3.3109 6.50 0 5 4.3 52-58 years o ld 264 7.6 256 15.21 0.1 6 5.2 59-65 years o ld 346 9.9 336 19.90 0 7 6 66-71 years o ld 275 7.9 273 16.20 0 1 0.9 72-78 years o ld 205 5.9 196 11.60 0 2 1.7 79-85 years o ld 148 4.2144 8.50 0 1 0.9 86+ years o ld 87 2.583 4.92 0.1 0 0 Ethnicity African American/Black 17 0.5 4 0.2 12 0.7 1 0.9 American Indian/Alaska Native 12 0.370.4 2 0.1 3 2.6 Asian 167 4.835 2.1128 7.7 3 2.6 Latino 162 4.732 1.9113 6.8 15 13 Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander 14 0.480.5 5 0.3 1 0.9 White/Caucasian 2951 85.21518 91.11329 80.2 85 73.9 Other (please specify) 140 4 62 3.7 69 4.2 7 6.1 Neighborhood Cal Poly area. 746 21.6 134 8 592 35.7 18 18 Downtown area. 427 12.3 281 16.7 127 7.7 19 19 Foothill/N.

Chorro area.” Among these non-student residents of these two areas, roughly 90% of them are above the age of 38, pointing towards the possibility of conflict between these residents and Cal Poly students. To determine the extent to which our study sample may have been biased with respect to the target population of all San Luis Obispo citizens, a comparison of the distributions of age and eth- nicity from our survey was made to that of 2010 Census data (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010). The χ2 goodness-of-fit test revealed that our age and ethnicity distributions were indeed statistically significantly different from those of the Census data. Specifically, 18-24 year olds were overrep- resented in our sample (47.9% compared to 39.6% in Census data), and African Americans were APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 57 underrepresented in our sample (0.5% compared to 1.2% in Census data). Additionally, Hispanic o r Latino ethnicities were not explicitly recorded in the 2010 Census data, so our accuracy with this population is unknown. 3.2 Strong Majority Opinion Exploration Our first analysis was to examine whether any content questions had a strong ma jority responding in any particular way. We scanned through the entire survey responses, with a threshold of 80% indicating a strong ma jority. Also, we looked at this within subgroups of the dataset, with subgroups defined by combinations of the identifying questions. Among all of the content questions, only two questions surfaced as having strong ma jority opin- ions through this exploration. They were (with majority response bolded): • W hen I return to my house after school or work: – I can assume that there will be parking relatively close to my house – I frequently have trouble finding parking relatively close to my house – I rarely find parking relatively close to my house • After the garbage companies empty the trashcans, I usually bring in my household’s trashcans off of the street: – The same evening – Sometime the next day – Within the next 2-3 days – Within the next week In the entire dataset, 81.1% responded that they can find parking relatively close to their house, and 80.9% responded that they bring in their trashcans on the same evening. Among subgroups defined by age, gender, ethnicity and all other identifying questions, plus combinations thereof, many subgroups identified these same two questions/responses at a greater than 80% rate. No other content question surfaced as having at least 80% of responses matching. APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 58 Proportion 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 3.3 Contrasting Questions Exploration 3.3.1 Trashcans As observed in the previous section, 80.9% of the study sample reported that they bring their trashcans in on the same day. While this does not directly point to any possible conflict, we can compare this to the responses of the next question: “After the garbage companies empty the trashcans, my neighbors usually bring in their household’s trashcans off of the street. . . ” Specifically, we can examine the distribution of responses among those who stated that they bring in their trashcans on the same day. Any of these individuals who report that their neighbors do anything other than bring their trashcans in on the same day will form a group who are potentially upset by this situation. This is summarized in Figure 3. Neighbors bring in their trashcans... (among those who responded that they bring in their trashcans the same evening) The same Sometime the Within the Within the evening next day next 2−3 days next week Response Figure 3: Distribution of responses about their neighbors, by people who reported bringing in their own trashcans on the same evening as the garbage companies empty them Since this is only among those who responded that they themselves bring in their trashcans on APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 59 Proportion 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 the same evening that the garbage companies empty them, it is plausible that they might expect the same from their neighbors. Thus, we observe that just over 30% of these individuals might potentially be upset by this situation. Additionally, we explored whether this dichotomy was driven by a differing attitude between students and non-students. That is, when do students b ring in their trashcans, and when do non- students b ring in their trashcans? This is summarized in Figure 4. After the garbage companies empty the trashcans, I usually bring in my trashcans off the street: Non−students CP students The same Sometime the Within the Within the evening next day next 2−3 days next week Response Figure 4: Student vs. non-student responses regarding when they bring in their own trashcans As we observe above, Cal Poly students tend to bring their trashcans in at a later time than the non-student population. In particular, only about 60% of Cal Poly students report that they bring their trashcans in on the same evening. Finally, we examined the free responses attached to this question. Among a total of 156 non- students who left a free response, approximately 35 of them left a comment that voiced frustration at the situation, such as: • “But some NEVER bring them in!” • “The adults do. Students not so much.” • “Po ly students don’t understand trash rules.” APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 60 Proportion 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 7−8pm 8−9pm 9−10pm 10−11pm 11pm or later In contrast, approximately 10 of the comments appeared to indicate that this should not be a concern of the city, e.g.: “I actually have no idea, I don’t care what my neighbors do with their trash cans as long as they don’t block my driveway.” The remaining comments appeared to be either neutral or of undeterminable tone. Also, an exam- ination of the student comments to this question revealed virtually zero who voiced frustration at the situation. It is important to note, however, that all of these counts are quite imprecise, as it was left entirely up to human judgement of a written phrase. 3.3.2 Time that it should b e quiet Questions 17 and 18 asked contrasting questions about what time it should be, and actually is, quiet on a weeknight. The overall distributions are summarized in Figure 5. I feel my neighborhood should be/is quiet on a weeknight (Sunday −Thursday) by approximately: should be is Figure 5: Side-by-side distributions of when it should be and is quiet on a weeknight. To determine the proportion who might potentially be upset at the situation surrounding this ques- tion, we categorized people as “potentially upset” if they responded that it usually is quiet at a later time than what they stated for when it should be quiet. In the entire dataset, 16.8% responded that it is quiet at a later time than they feel that it should be, on a weeknight. When separated APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 61 Proportion 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 7−8pm 8−9pm 9−10pm 10−11pm 11pm or later into Cal Po ly students and non-students, the percentage potentially upset was 17.0% and 16.4%, respectively. Questions 19 and 20 were similar to Questions 17 and 18, but posed for the weekend nights. The overall distributions are summarized in Figure 6. I feel my neighborhood should be/is quiet on a weekend (Friday−Satu rday) by approximately: should be is Figure 6: Side-by-side distributions of when it should be and is quiet on a weekend. To determine the proportion who might potentially be upset at the situation surrounding this ques- tion, we categorized people as “potentially upset” if they responded that it usually is quiet at a later time than what they stated for when it should be quiet. In the entire dataset, 14.8% responded that it is quiet at a later time than they feel that it should be, on a weekend night. When separated into Cal Poly students and non-students, the percentages potentially upset were 9.9% and 18.0%, respectively. 3.3.3 Quality of life at first vs. currently Questions 26 and 27 asked about the quality of life in San Luis Obispo, when first moved to the town, and currently. The overall distributions are summarized in Figure 7. Overall, it appears that people are reporting a declining quality of life after living in San Luis Obispo for some amount of tim e. Specifically, 28.8% of all respondants reported that their current quality of life is worse than when they first moved to San Luis Obispo. W hen separated into Cal Poly students and non-students, the percentages reporting a worse quality of life currently were 13.0% and 40.4%, respectively. APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 62 Proportion 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 Quality of live when first moved to / currently in San Luis Obispo: When first moved Currently Strongly Favorable Neutral Unfavorable Strongly Favorable Unfavorable Figure 7: Side-by-side distributions of quality of life when first m oved to San Luis Obispo vs. currently. An examination of the written comments, however, revealed no obvious trend or cause of the decline. Among non-students, comments ranged from “crime, drugs, late nite partys, housing authority trash/noise” to “Too much nit-picking while real problems go unresolved.” Although far fewer Cal Poly students reported a decline in quality of life over the time that they have lived here, there was a modest trend towards comments that expressed disdain for increasing rules/restrictions and police presence among those who did (16 out of 37 total written comments from Cal Po ly students). 3.4 Cal Poly and Footh ill / N. Chorro area residents As mentioned in Section 3.1, the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro area are two locations in San Luis Obispo with a high mixing of students and non-students. A summary of responses to the Likert scale questions, separated by students and non-students in these areas, is shown in Table 2. APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 63 Table 2: Likert scale questions for residents of the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro area residents, separated by Cal Poly students and non-students.

Cal Poly Students 0.06 0.35 0.38 0.13 0.08 Non-students 0.04 0.28 0.41 0.20 0.09 11 Notably, the distribution of responses for Cal Po ly students vs. Non-students differed at a statistically significant level for all of the questions in the table above, except for the question: “I feel as if I should be included in discussions about improving community relation- ships.” That is, every other Likert scale question in the above table points to a dichotomy of attitudes when comparing students vs. non-students who live in the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro areas. One specific contrast of interest is the differing of attitudes about who should be responsible for whether tenants are disruptive to their neighbors o r not. Among non-students, roughly 80- 90% believe (either “Strongly Agree” or “Agree”) that property owners should be responsible for their tenants regarding their disruptiveness to neighbors, whereas only about 30% of students feel similarly. On the other hand, when asked if property owners can be proactive about the same issue, approximately 60% of students responded with either “Strongly Agree” or “Agree,” pointing to at least some degree of openness to communication with their landlords regarding noise issues. Additionally, the trashcan and quiet time issues from Sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 are at an increased level in the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro areas. Using the same “potentially upset” definition as in the previous sections, approximately 37.0% of non-students living in these areas fall into this categorization. By comparison, in Section 3.3.1 we saw that approximately 30% of all citizens (that is, all students and non-students) fell into this categorization; in fact, this percentage is the same for non-students across all neighborhoods, indicating an increase in the proportion in this category for the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro areas. Regarding the tim e that it should be quiet on a weekday night, approximately 28.0% of non-students are categorized as potentially upset, and 31.2% are potentially upset for the weekend nights (compared to 17.0% and 18.0% as stated in Section 3.3.2). 3.5 Issues and Suggestions: written comments Question 46 asked: “If you could fix one issue in San Luis Obispo, what would it be?” APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 65 Using a regular expression search, Table 3 shows the most common words found in the responses, separated by students and non-students. non-students Cal Poly students word count word count downtown 110 students 142 homeless 90 college91 traffic 87 residents 53 rental 72 noise52 Poly 58 campus 47 street 42 parking 46 noise 41 housing 46 bars 40 police42 residents 39 permanent 41 cars 35 Poly 39 Table 3: Most common words found in written responses to the question, “If you could fix one issue in San Luis Obispo, what would it be?” All short words such as prepositions, conjunctions, and other low-content words (such as “more”) were removed from the list. Some words that do appear on the list may not be that revealing, such as the usage of “students” or “college” by Cal Poly students in their comments. On the other hand, an examination of the non-student comments containing the word “downtown” showed comments that mainly focused on homelessness (overlapping with #2) and disruptive behavior associated with the bars (overlapping with #8). Question 47 asked: “W hat suggestions do you have to improve the relations between the college-age students and permanent residents?” Again using a regular expression search, Table 4 shows the most common words found in the responses to this question, separated by students and non-students. APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 66 non-students Cal Poly students word count word count students 335 students 192 neighbors 103 residents 153 residents 93 college 137 Poly 80 permanent 111 college 80 community 71 campus 75 campus 55 respect 70 neighbors 45 community 60 noise36 landlords 45 people 35 behavior 44 think 35 Table 4: Most common words found in written responses to the question, “W hat suggestions do you have to improve the relationship between the college-age students and permanent residents?” Again, not all words are extremely revealing. Of note, however, is the fact that the words “rule(s),”, “regulation(s),” and “fine(s)” do not appear on either list, suggesting that neither students nor non-students tend to believe that an increase in city ordinances is the answer. In contrast, we see words such as “respect,” “community” and “neighbors,” suggesting that ultimately, students and non-students would like to co-exist in a harmonious manner. A specific response to this question that exemplifies this sentiment is one from a non-student living in the Foothill / N. Chorro area that states: “Have a beer with them - as long as they are of legal drinking age. Otherwise, you might have to buy them a fountain drink.” 4 Discussion and Conclusions In this report, we summarize the results f rom the City of San Luis Obispo Opinion Survey. Certain trends were explored, with a focus on potential sources of conflict between Cal Poly students and non- student residents of San Luis Obispo. It is important to note that, since this analysis was exploratory in nature, all of the findings must be treated as suggestive, rather than as strong evidence in favor or in opposition of any notion. Additionally, there is a slight concern for bias in the dataset, as noted in Section 3.1. The distributions of age and ethnicity in our survey dataset were statistically significantly different from APPENDIX C: Full Survey Results Page 67 that of the Census data. However, the differences were not drastic; although this may indeed be a concern, it is relatively minor. Among all potential sources of conflict in San Luis Obispo, the one with the largest indication is the time that neighbors bring their trashcans in, with approxim ately 30% of all residents being potentially upset. Noise at night does not appear to be as much of an issue, except specifically in the Cal Poly and Foothill / N. Chorro areas, where non-students are potentially upset at a rate of approximately 30% on both weeknights and weekends. The survey also revealed a vast dichotomy of attitudes between non-students and Cal Poly students. This is exposed in the responses to the Likert Scale questions in Table 2, and also with regard to when each group tends to bring their trashcans in. It does not appear likely that this systematic difference in attitude could be corrected by specific fines and ordinances. Rather, any strategy to remedy this must be aimed at addressing this broadly, both am ong students who plan to live off-campus, and for non-students who live in heavily student-populated areas. Future work could examine the question of whether any implemented strategies are working. In particular, certain increases in fines have indeed been in place since May 2010, aimed specifically at Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day (City of San Luis Obispo, 2013). Fr om a statistical standpoint, the data up to this point do not suggest that the increase in fines have been an effective deterrent of citable offenses. It is of course possible that, with more data, the evidence could arise, and this question could possibly be addressed properly at that time. However, as mentioned above, this report does not support the notion that specific increases in fines will achieve outcomes consistent with neighborhood wellness. As student and non-student attitudes and expectations about residential life in San Luis Obispo are so dichotomous at this time, this must be addressed systematically, rather than by attempting to deter specific behaviors.

These ideas were not discussed by the Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Effort working group and their inclusion in this report should not be considered an endorsement by the working group. Objective 1: Define short-term actions that could be implemented to enhance quality of life for all residents particularly associated in the timeframe around the opening of the Cal Poly and Cuesta College campuses at the beginning of the school year. 1 Develop smoother lines of communication between the city, Cal Poly and Cuesta both proactively and reactively. 2 Students need to be informed of the consequences of their actions off campus and perhaps have responses strengthened to moderate behavior. 3 Quicker administrative response is needed to violations of behavior off campus by the city, Cal Poly and Cuesta. Objective 2: Define Stakeholders’ Needs and Success 4 Create a tip line where anyone (students, neighbors, etc.) can report potential problems before they have negative impact on the community. Objective 3: Identify University/City Best Practices 5 Advance the effort to house Greek organizations on the Cal Poly campus. 6 Create a student ambassador program that has two components. The first component should be to promote positive relations in the community. The second component should be an anonymous social event attendee to report unsafe behavior to the appropriate authority. 7 Improve response time by SLOPD and UPD to reports of noise off campus. 8 Bring alternative social/entertainment opportunities on campus to reduce the reliance on off campus events for socialization. 9 Reach out to universities who consistently host regulated tailgate parties, with monitored alcohol distribution. Learn what works well for them and bring their best practices to Cal Poly tailgates. 10 Increase the methods to hold landlords accountable for the negative behavior of their tenants including court appearances by the landlord or denial of business license. 11 Suggest that landlords add clause in rental agreements that prevents any activity on roof.

Objective 4: Review Enforcement Best Practices 17 Consider the size and scope of a party to help determine what safety and hazard city ordinances can be created/enforced? Perhaps double or triple fines during peak hours or holidays where large parties/events are expected. 18 Limit the number of student rental properties to one per street. 19 Create and enforce a 10:00 pm noise curfew with escalating noise fines by the hour. 20 More visible UPD presence on campus and in the residential neighborhoods immediately surrounding campus (an MOU is currently being finalized to allow UPD to issue municipal citations off campus). 21 Issue a citation to the leadership figure of the organization responsible for hosting an out- of-control party. Consider exploring ways to hold the national organization responsible as well. 22 Consider installing more security cameras to effectively monitor activity. 23 Create a staff position to investigate potential dangerous student activity before events take place. 24 Enforce limits on the size of parties at residential addresses. 25 Create a culture change regarding informants. Students offer information to a point, but stop divulging information for fear of implicating themselves. Re-work current policy to ensure informants will not be reprimanded to encourage future sharing. 26 Citations should be issued to those students who participated in negative events. 27 City approval should be required for individuals or organizations hosting a party over a Appendix E: Post March 7 Recommendations Page 77 Neighborhood Wellness/Community Civility Working Group Ideas to Investigate arranged by Objective *NOTE: These ideas were generated by the City of San Luis Obispo (e.g. public comment at March 17, 2015 City Council Meeting) and Cal Poly staff through a number of forums after the March 7, 2015 roof collapse on Hathway Street.

DISCUSSION Situation The City of San Luis Obispo (City) is in close proximity to two colleges; Cuesta College and Cal Poly. Cuesta College is a commuter school without campus housing, and Cal Poly does not have sufficient on-campus housing for all enrolled students (there are plans to create more housing opportunities on-campus in the next five years). Furthermore, college students often prefer to live off-campus in their junior and senior years. These factors mean students seek housing in the City limits, and the most predominant housing type in the City is low-density single-family housing in established neighborhoods. A number of issues have been reported over the years related to students living in low-density residential neighborhoods: 1. Students tend to live in certain areas close to campus, which affects neighborhood diversity. High concentrations of student renters living in neighborhoods compounds and intensifies issues like partying, noise and parking. Renter-occupancy estimates for census tracts immediately adjacent to Cal Poly range from 59 to 95 percent renters: Selected Housing Characteristics from U.S. Census 1 CHARACTERISTIC CENSUS TRACT 109.01 CENSUS TRACT 109.02 CENSUS TRACT 112 TOTAL {ALL 3 TRACTS) CITYWIDE Total Housing Units 1,032 1,561 3,033 5,626 20,553 Single-Family Residences 10% 40% 62% 46% 54% Units Built 1950 to 1979 53% 64% 62% 61% 48% Owner-occupied Units 5% 13% 41% 26% 38% Renter-occupied Units 95% 87% 59% 74% 62% 1 Estimates do not include on-campus housing units, which are classified as "group quarters" by the U.S. Census. Source: 2008-12 American Community Survey, 2010 U.S. Census APPENDIX F: Maintaining Balanced Neighborhoods Page 82 CITY OF SHU LUIS OBISPO Reference Map of Census Tracts near Cal Poly 2. Rental costs are high, which drives more students (smaller incomes) to live together in one single family home. Most single-family homes are not designed for four to five adults, especially in terms of bathroom facilities and parking. 3. The City's code enforcement data shows a correlation between high rental areas and reported violations of municipal codes. Some repeated reported violations include: a. Noise, public drunkenness, vandalism and crime b. Property maintenance issues c. Parking 4. Local housing costs are inflated because four to five students can and will pay more for rental housing than the majority of the local workforce, especially those workers in industries with lower wages. This causes many workers to commute, which affects infrastructure (roads), environment (emissions) and society (less owner- occupancy/pride of ownership). These issues are common in many town-gown communities when large student populations move . in to residential neighborhoods; sometimes referred to as "studentification". Studentification is a term coined by Dr. Darren Smith (2002) and is defined as the social and environmental changes caused by a very large number of students living in particular areas of a APPENDIX F: Maintaining Balanced Neighborhoods Page 83 CITY OF S.Hn LUIS OBISPO town or city. It is not necessarily students living in the community, but instead the substitution of a local community by a student community. 1 The City desires to avoid "studentification" in its low-density residential neighborhoods. The following sections identify ideas for potential solutions -including best management practices from nationwide research- to be considered by the Civility Working Group. Potential Solutions Two main focus areas should be (1) increasing neighborhood diversity and (2) enhancing affordable housing options. 1. Increasing Neighborhood Diversity Diversifying neighborhoods means creating a healthy balance of renters and owner-occupants, as well as a mix of resident types (families, students, couples, singles, etc.). Within the context of student housing, limiting concentration of student rentals increases neighborhood diversity. A. Consider a Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and many other communities facing foreclosure and abandonment issues, instituted an NSP to help troubled neighborhoods rebound. 2 Using a revolving NSP fund, abandoned and foreclosed homes were purchased and then resold at a discounted price to homebuyers in need of assistance. The same philosophy could be implemented in residential neighborhoods to create more opportunities for owner-occupied housing units. Potential NSP elements may include: a. Establish a revolving fund to be used exclusively to purchase single-family homes within targeted neighborhoods (such as Alta Vista and Monterey Heights) as they become available on the open market. b. Resell all homes purchased with the revolving fund within a reasonable time to likely owner-occupants; university staff, faculty or other workforce buyers. c. Evaluate legally permissible mechanisms to perpetuate owner-occupancy, such as a homeowners association (HOA), that are consistent with fair housing provisions of State and Federal laws. Developing a HOA for NSP homes is preferable because the HOA can impose conditions, covenants and agreements that require owner-occupancy of the primary residence for a minimum length of time. d. Proceeds from all home sales would go to replenish the revolving fund. e. Maintain "right of first refusal" granting the NSP the right to re-purchase the home when it is offered for sale. f. The NSP could be established on a limited-term basis, or terminated when owner-occupancy rates for single-family units within targeted neighborhoods reach a certain level that could be seen as self-sustaining. 1 Town and Gown Glossary. http://www.towngownworld.com/towngownglossary.html 2 http: //portal.hud.gov/hudportai/HUD?sr c=/program offices/comm plannlng/communitydevelopment/programs/neighborhoodspg. APPENDIX F: Maintaining Balanced Neighborhoods Page 84 CITY OF S.flnLUIS OBISPO This alternative has complicated legal issues surrounding real property rights, equal protection, and privacy that will require more research if the Civility W orking Group supports further development of a NSP. B. Look for opportunities to create faculty and staff housing in student areas. The College of San Mateo, California, has an award winning 44-unit rental housing development for faculty and staff (College Vista), which offers a first-class living environment with rents at half the market average.3 A local example is the 69-unit Bella Montana workforce housing project located in a neighborhood that is impacted with student rentals immediately adjacent to Cal Poly campus. The ground sublease has a ranking priority hierarchy that encourages purchase by Cal Poly faculty and staff, with a back-up market priority for public education, public agency, other CSU employees, and the general public. In all, there are 24 priority rankings in the sublease with newly recruited Cal Poly faculty receiving the highest priority and the general public receiving the lowest. Bella Montana is different from most condominiums in that the structures are owned by the buyers, while Cal Poly remains the owner of the ground upon which the structure sits and has greater control over the conditions of sale of the condos. C. Evaluate strengthening occupancy restrictions to avoid single-family residential overcrowding. The City of Fort Collins, home to Colorado State University, restricts occupancy in all residential dwelling units (single-family, duplex, and multifamily) to one family and not more than one additional person; or two adults and their dependents, and not more than one additional person, or up to four unrelated persons in a dwelling unit located in an apartment complex containing units which were approved to house four unrelated persons.4 The City of San Luis Obispo's Zoning Regulations prohibit six or more adult occupants in the low-density residential zone without a High Occupancy Use Permit. D. Develop a rental inspection program that checks occupancy. The City of Bloomington, home to Indiana University Bloomington, implemented a Rental Occupancy Program that requires rental property inspection every three to five years to validate current occupancy permits. Occupancy permits allow up to three unrelated adults in single- family zoning districts, and up to five in multi-family zoning districts. 5 The City of Santa Cruz, California adopted a 2010 ordinance that requires all owners of one or more residential rental dwelling units to register with the city and participate in an annual inspection. The Santa Cruz program aims to address unpermitted dwelling units and the renting of spaces not intended for habitation, as well as substandard, overcrowded, unsanitary and unsafe housing conditions that render a housing _unit unfit or unsafe for occupancy.6 The City of San Luis Obispo is currently developing a multifamily rental inspection program to be presented to the public and City Council in late 2014.

APPENDIX F: Maintaining Balanced Neighborhoods Page 85 CITY OF S.fin LUIS OBISPO E. Work with common interest developments on restrictive leases. In California, courts have allowed homeowners associations to limit or ban rentals in private condominium projects or planned developments. Restrictions against leasing in a common interest development must be shown to be reasonable in order to be enforceable per California Civil Code Sections 711 and 1354. In the case City of Oceanside v. McKenna (1989), the Oceanside court found that restrictions on a publicly subsidized condominium project to require owner-occupancy and forbid the leasing of units was valid. The justification offered by the City and its Community Development Commission was found reasonable since prohibiting leasing would foster the redevelopment goals of providing a stabilized community of owner-occupied units for low and moderate income persons.7 F. Create more on-campus housing. Giving students more opportunities to live on-campus may reduce concentration of students living in nearby low-density residential neighborhoods. Cal Poly and the City have adopted policies that support student housing on-campus, and Cal Poly is planning to build a new 1475-bed campus housing facility soon. Other universities require all freshmen to live on-campus, and some also require that freshmen leave their cars at home the first year. In addition to providing new campus housing, Cal Poly could formally adopt a goal to house a certain percentage of students on campus b y a specified date. 2. Enhancing Affordable Housing Options Creating affordable housing is a local, regional and national objective. Within the context of student housing, creating affordable options means offering more housing types with different cost profiles so that students may avoid overcrowding in single-family residences. A. Create partnerships to achieve common affordable housing goals. Northeastern University, Massachusetts, provides a good example of this approach in its Davenport Commons. The project consists of 125 units of housing for students and staff, 60 affordable owner-occupied townhouses, and 2,100 square feet of retail space. 8 It was a complex project, involving many stakeholders and negotiations including a community benefits package of affordable housing, helping homeowners start a condominium association and providing both technical assistance and education for first-time homebuyers. B. Continue to distribute Good Neighbor guides and update off-campus housing outreach materials. The University of Virginia 9 and the City of Fort Collins10 have developed guides that include tips for finding affordable off-campus housing, advice about the financial responsibilities of living on their own, and behavior expected of a good neighbor and community member. Cal Poly, Cuesta College and the City should update their off-campus housing guides to include affordable housing options in the region.

Along the lines of: We’re here today to talk about our specific e Ưorts around St. Patrick’s Day. A deeper discussion of the fraternity house matter is for another day — except to say that we continue to have a positive working relationship with the city and look forward to further discussions around this and other aspects of how we work together. More soon.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Hi Timmi and John, I'm hoping you can answer some questions for me. 1. Have the addresses for Lambda Chi Alpha (identified in its CUP) been given to SLOPD as a fraternity? The address in SLOPD's system does not identify a fraternity at that address. A current screenshot is below. Usually, if there is a CUP, the fraternity is identified in SLOPD's database as a fraternity, as shown below for Beta Theta Pi. 2. How many noise citations has Lambda Chi Alpha had since its CUP was approved? 3. Does Beta Theta Pi have a CUP at 1327 Foothill? Even though it is shown as a fraternity in SLOPD's database, my records don't show a CUP for 1327 Foothill Blvd. 4. There is a CUP for 1290 & 1292 Foothill, 123, 135, 137 & 175 Crandall Way (#109-05). It was a supplement to the CUP for 1292 Foothill (#174-97) and was included in the report I gave you on 11/8/2023, which I have attached to this email on pages 28-32 of 95 pages. There have been noise calls for the addresses on Crandall Way but they do not show up in SLOPD's database as a fraternity. It appears the terms of the CUP were never fulfilled, therefore perhaps that CUP is not valid but I'm not sure. Would you please let me know the status of those addresses? Sigma Nu occupies 1292 Foothill and a sorority occupies 1290 Foothill, and I believe Sigma Nu also occupies the properties on Crandall Way. I'm just trying to get my records straight so would greatly appreciate some clarification about this. I have other questions about the ongoing fraternity operations at documented fraternity houses in R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods that have not been flagged in SLOPD's database so Cal Poly and Cuesta students who work as 742 SNAP officers are sent to those locations instead of sworn officers. SNAP officers can only issue Disturbance Advisement Card (DAC) warnings, not citations. Also, fraternities are not eligible for DACs when a noise call is made so fraternities are holding large events at those illegal fraternity; houses to get around the consequences of an automatic response from SLOPD. It would be great if the database was updated in SLOPD's system so we can get a handle on the illegal fraternity house operations in our neighborhood. My main goal is consistency between code enforcement/community development and SLOPD's database. Thank you for your help.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Hi Rami, I hope you are doing well; Many of the chapter presidents are wanting to work with the city and are hoping to get a few things clarified from our conversation a few weeks ago. The following are questions that have been asked and we are hoping to get them answered! 1. While discussing land use it was mentioned that if someone was wearing a Fraternity t-shirt on a property it could be considered improper use of the property if that property did not have the proper permits, as well as if a Fraternity Flag was visible on the property whether in the window or on a flagpole. Can you clarify how this would be enforced? 2. Where can a code enforcement officer access a residential property when enforcing the municipal code? What allows a code enforcement officer to enter the property? 4. Can you clarify how the Code is enforced when it comes to Noise? Is it up to officer discretion? Is there a decible reading requirement? 5. Can you share a list of common code violations that are not related to Housing zoning or noise? things like trash, property safety, parking, etc.? 6. Can you clarify if there are action items that properties need to be complete after receiving a Notice of Violation? Are there fines associated with notices? 7. We discussed the opportunity for a special event permit for events that are located in R1 and R2 Zones as well as R3 and R4 Zones without a Conditional Use Permit. What is the process to get these permits? Would they be awarded to Fraternities or sororities in locations without a Conditional Use Permit? What type of events can get approved? 8. Can you Layout what Zero tolerance means for Code Enforcement and how Zero tolerance will be enforced? 9. What happens if a Fraternity or Sorority loses their Conditional Use permit? 10. What are the defining factors of a R-Zone? How is the density of a zone set/calculated? 11. How is Code Enforcement approaching the enforcement of housing of organizations that are affiliated and good standing with Cal Poly but who are not connected to The Fraternity and Sorority Life office?

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Dear Ms. Tway, My name is Charlie Minor, and I am the president of Sigma Nu at Cal Poly. Over the past month, I have been in constant communication with Rami Salem regarding a violation we received concerning our conditional use permit at our chapter house, 1304 East Foothill Blvd. We take this matter very seriously and have been actively taking the necessary steps to resolve it in order to maintain our relationship with the city, the school, and our community. I am reaching out because I would greatly appreciate any advice or information you could provide before I present to the planning commission. We have already taken steps to educate not only our own chapter but the entire IFC. Last week, I coordinated a session for Rami to speak with all fraternity presidents, which proved to be extremely valuable. 758 While we are proactively addressing any potential violations, this remains a new and unfamiliar issue for us. I would greatly appreciate hearing your perspective on the matter and any guidance you may have. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

An hour meeting would likely be helpful, please just let me know what your availability looks like and how many people you would like to bring. I believe the Planning Commission meeting will be scheduled for May, so it would be helpful to meet in the next month or so, if possible, so you can prepare.

Over the past month, I have been in constant communication with Rami Salem regarding a violation we received concerning our conditional use permit at our chapter house, 1304 East Foothill Blvd. We take this matter very seriously and have been actively taking the necessary steps to resolve it in order to maintain our relationship with the city, the school, and our community. I am reaching out because I would greatly appreciate any advice or information you could provide before I present to the planning commission. We have already taken steps to educate not only our own chapter but the entire IFC. Last week, I coordinated a session for Rami to speak with all fraternity presidents, which proved to be extremely valuable. While we are proactively addressing any potential violations, this remains a new and unfamiliar issue for us. I would greatly appreciate hearing your perspective on the matter and any guidance you may have. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Groups may schedule up to three dates within a three month period.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. San Luis Obispo City Councilmembers, The illegal drunken takeover of our neighborhood by thousands of people on the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals is unacceptable and needs to be prevented. It’s a dangerous public nuisance for the people who live in our neighborhood and is going to end badly if the City doesn’t come up with a plan that does not allow people this illegal gathering using a different approach. Cal Poly students are replenished with a new class each fall, and they will continue to seek out “the tradition” unless the City uses tools that have been successful in other communities to stop unruly gatherings, such as a curfew. In March 2024, the city manager, Derek Johnson, said that the event must be prevented after the St. Fratty’s Day event on 3/16/2024, and the City Council directed that the event be prevented moving forward. Derek said a resident task force would be formed but that never happened. Back then, the trauma was fresh and the City was motivated, but it seems that motivation has fallen by the wayside and the event is not going to be prevented in 2025. In November 2024, several residents and property owners in the Alta Vista neighborhood formed a task force to communicate with the City about ideas to stop the event because it has affected us since it re- emerged in 2022. It’s notable that before 2022, the only other time St. Fratty’s Day was an “unlawful assembly” in San Luis Obispo was in 2015 when 3,000 people converged into our neighborhood and a roof collapsed at approximately 6:30 a.m., which ended the event that day. It did not return until 2022. On 12/11/2024, members of our task force met with SLOPD, Erica Stewart, and Whitney McDonald. We had prepared a comprehensive plan to stop St. Fratty’s Day, which included setting a curfew, a successful tool in Miami Beach for ending the destructive unlawful assemblies during Spring Break. This suggestion was made by Cal Poly staff during an SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024. During that SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024, it was made clear that Cal Poly is going to take care of Cal Poly at its boundary, and that the City needs to take care of the City within the city limits. Cal Poly representative Michelle Crawford told Deputy City Manager, Greg Hermann and SLOPD Chief Rick Scott, that she recommended looking at what the city of Miami Beach did to stop Spring Break in 2024, with its “We’re breaking up with Spring Break” campaign. A key component of its successful campaign was a curfew. Michelle Crawford commented that Miami Beach’s campaign “worked very effectively.” The resident task force generated a plan using ChatGPT to effectively prevent St. Fratty’s Day using metrics from St. Fratty’s Day 2022, 2023, and 2024, and effective methods from other unlawful assemblies across the country, not including protests. We provided the plan to SLOPD, Erica, and Whitney, and I have attached it to this correspondence, along with the statements from city leaders and an ER doctor that were published when Mardi Gras was canceled. 81 Unfortunately, it does not appear the City has chosen to implement a curfew and therefore, St. Fratty’s Day is going to disrupt our neighborhood yet again, which is super disappointing. I think it’s important to point out that since 2022, SLOPD Chief Scott has repeatedly said they are going to have a “proactive” approach to St. Fratty’s Day, and that approach has failed every year. I want to revisit the facts that are backed up by SLOPD dispatch logs and other documentation since St. Fratty’s 2022. St. Fratty’s Day 2022 In 2022, approximately 2,000 people overtook the intersection of Bond and Hathway, however, the entire neighborhood was affected by screaming people, fireworks, trespassing, and vandalism from 4 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. In 2022, the Saturday before winter finals was on 3/12, five days before St. Patrick’s Day. There were many posts on social media the night before the event that indicated the event was going to happen, but SLOPD did not anticipate the event. Fireworks woke our neighborhood at 4 a.m. There were only a handful of officers in our neighborhood until shift change when more officers came on duty. Some noise citations were written, mostly to known illegal fraternity houses but many calls were not responded to and there was a point where officers stood around the perimeter of the crowd because it was too large. People were openly drinking alcohol, climbing telephone poles, standing on rooftops, and law enforcement did not intervene. They waited until the unlawful assembly of drunken people burnt itself out, six hours after it started. A spreadsheet of the calls to SLOPD dispatch was prepared after St. Fratty's Day to show the timeline and was emailed to the City Council before St. Fratty's 2023: 82 83 During the debrief to the City Council, SLOPD Chief Scott minimized what happened during St. Fratty’s 2022, and said they “went ahead and just secured the area and helped diffuse the rest of the parties to go ahead and help them out of the neighborhoods” and that it only took “a couple of hours to get the situation under control.” The event lasted for six hours and was not under control until 10 a.m. Preparation for St. Fratty’s 2023 In the summer of 2022, I noticed that St. Fratty’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day were back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. I knew that would cause a terrible situation and I wrote to SLOPD Chief Scott and the City Council that summer, expressing my concern. I prepared calendars to illustrate the bad situation. The City did not take any action to implement a Safety Enhancement Zone (SEZ). On 2/21/2023, before St. Fratty’s Day 2023, several concerned residents went to the City Council, explained our concerns, and asked for the city to implement a SEZ, even on an emergency basis, citing the perfect-storm scenario of back-to-back dates on the weekend. The SLOPD Chief was in the audience, and he addressed Council, stating “I would like to say that we do have a plan in place. Contrary to some of the comments, our plan does work.” On 3/7/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott told the City Council “We’ll have available resources from other agencies should that be required. … we’re going to be proactively focused on spot enforcement of critical areas and also those areas where we’ve had historical challenges due to large gatherings and unruly crowds.” 84 On 3/15/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott and Deputy Chief Fred Mickel met with RQN and explained that they had “proactive” plans to address the event. They said they had adequate staff and plans to circumvent any dangerous activity, and we should not be worried because they were on top of it. St. Fratty’s 2023 On 3/18/2023, St. Fratty’s Day, crowds began to overtake the neighborhood at 4 a.m. SLOPD did not anticipate the crowd would gather that early and was not prepared for the volume of people who overtook the neighborhood. College-aged people were openly drinking alcohol, carrying BORGs (Black Out Rage Gallons), and many, many people climbed utility poles without any intervention from law enforcement. SLOPD stood around the perimeter and did not engage with the crowd. I was standing near SLOPD officers when we witnessed a guy climb out onto the utility line doing pull-ups. An officer said there was nothing he could do and that he thought PG&E had turned off the power to the pole. One of my neighbors called 911 because intoxicated guys trespassed onto his property and threatened to fight him. He said the SLOPD dispatcher told him they could not help him due to his proximity to the street party and hung up on him. The unlawful gathering was allowed to continue until it fizzled out at around 10:30 a.m. SLOPD did not shut down large fraternity parties or get people off rooftops. It’s my understanding that SLOPD issued citations after the event based on drone footage, but an Administrative Hearing Officer dismissed those citations so there were no consequences for the citations. During a City Council meeting on 1/9/2024 for the Safety Enhancement Zone, Deputy Chief Mickel admitted that SLOPD was not prepared for St. Fratty’s Day in 2023. A transcript from the meeting is below: Erica Stewart: “On page 405…it says the PD doesn’t do anything during the unruly gatherings and so I thought you could share why the PD respond as they do during the large gatherings.” Fred Mickel: “It really depends on manpower. … like for instance, this past St. Fratty’s Day, we had a much larger – we planned for a large event, (but) this was three times larger than we even thought. It really, unfortunately, caught us a little bit by surprise even though we had a really good plan going into it. And so at that point, you just start managing safety. And that’s our first thing, right? And there’s a lot of things going on, yes we could take action against. And we tried to. We tried some creative approaches to doing some unruly gathering, and we did do some unruly gathering citations during that event. But probably not as many as we could have. But we had to look at the bigger picture of, how do we not only keep the residents as safe as we can, the officers, and all the people that were participating in the party. So, that’s really what drove that. Now if we had the manpower, the personnel, the things that we could do, then absolutely we’d be enforcing the unruly gatherings and those types of things. We just have to weigh those out at the time.” After St. Fratty’s 2023 On 3/21/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott told the City Council that during St. Fratty’s 2023 there was “a larger crowd, as expected, post-COVID” and that “SLOPD was upstaffed” to address the event. The true events that day were downplayed or not discussed. He said he planned to do an after-action analysis and talk with residents of our neighborhood but none of the long-term residents in our neighborhood were contacted. 85 Mitigation Measures: · On 1/9/2024, City Council adopted a SEZ for some weekends in March, including the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals, which is traditionally St. Fratty’s Day. · PG&E removed the lower rungs from utility poles in the neighborhood. St. Fratty’s 2024 Calls to SLOPD dispatch started at 3:20 a.m.; Illegal gathering in the street 5:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Streets were blocked and parties in the upper Alta Vista neighborhood, Albert Drive, until 10:30 a.m. Medical calls/welfare checks (unconscious intoxicated people) until 12:20 p.m. Noisy parties started in the neighborhood just after 3:00 a.m. Four illegal fraternity houses were cited for noisy parties by 4:00 a.m. There was a constant stream of people screaming past our house and a city utility truck placed unmanned barricades at intersections to stop vehicles from driving on the streets just after 6:00 a.m., allowing parades of people to walk down the center of streets. I've attached a PDF that shows the calls to SLOPD dispatch on 3/16/2024, St. Fratty's Day, including complaints at local hotels about noisy people partying between 5:30 a.m. and 6:15 a.m. I've also attached a video posted on social media by an Uber driver who picked up a group of gals at 3:30 a.m. They were "going to Beta" (Beta Theta Pi fraternity) which held a party, as many fraternities did that morning. Some property owners of illegal fraternity houses had received notification from Code Enforcement before St. Fratty's Day, and it seems that message was passed along to the fraternities because some did not host events that day. (I called the owner of 348 Hathway on 2/28/2024 and he promised me the fraternity would not have a party that morning.) Still, 6,000-7,000 people showed up to block neighborhood streets. While it was difficult for them to climb utility poles because the rungs were removed, people trespassed into yards and climbed on parked cars and rooftops. Cars were scratched and windows smashed, fences were torn down, landscapes and bushes were trampled, gutters were torn off houses, etc. Electric and cable lines were pulled down from a house. The weight of people in a front yard caused a sewer line to collapse. The damage to the Cal Poly dorms is often highlighted, but the total damage in the neighborhood was in the tens of thousands of dollars. Numerous people accessed an electrical line from a house to the utility pole and climbed across the wire. One did pull-ups and fell. I heard that he broke his arm and was not identified until days later. Based on dozens of videos posted online, there was no law enforcement anywhere nearby to remove him or the hundreds of people on the rooftops for an extended period. A tenant in a different house documented her terrifying experience, attached to this email. She and her roommates called SLOPD four times because trespassers were on their rooftop and they feared the roof would collapse on them. The SLOPD dispatcher hung up on them. When SLOPD finally arrived, they did not help her to get the people off her roof. Part of her account is below: “The police watched me struggling to clear the roof for over 30 minutes and still refused to take action. I am a young woman who was ill-equipped to stand alone against the drunk and aggressive mob-mentality that prevailed, and I was extremely scared and disheartened by the lack of support we received. If we had received assistance the first time (or two) that we called the police, they would have been able to clear the small crowd of people in our yard and on our roof, before it became a serious and dangerous situation. I understand that large crowds are difficult to control, but my housemates and I were put in danger due to the police’s lack of action, and I urge you to implement safer strategies moving forward.” 86 The ”street party” ended at about 9:30 a.m. Streets were still blocked by college-aged people, and many were obviously intoxicated and it was difficult to get through in a car. There were also rideshare drivers everywhere, blocking the streets with hazard lights on. An unruly gathering was cited at Delta Upsilon’s illegal fraternity house at 281 Albert Drive at 10:30 a.m. Sirens continued as emergency calls for intoxicated people continued until after 12:00 p.m., including an unconscious male on a 2-story rooftop at 146 Stenner and an unconscious male on a rooftop at 1861 Hope. Both are illegal fraternity houses for Kappa Sigma. 87 After St. Fratty’s 2024 During his debrief to the City Council on 3/19/2024, Chief Scott noted that there were no problems at bars or downtown core on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17 th. On St. Fratty’s Day, police presence was tripled with assistance from Cal Poly, CSU CRU Team, California Men’s Colony, and California Alcohol and Beverage Control. He said early enforcement led to citations and arrests but about two hours later (just after 6 a.m.) the streets needed to be closed, as crowds swelled to 6,000 – 7,000 people. He said he found the activities “extremely disappointing, dangerous and criminal. This is not in keeping with Cal Poly’s reputation and certainly not that of our community. Looking ahead, these lawless activities cannot and should not be allowed to occur in our communities .” During the SCLC meeting on 4/18/2024, Chief Scott said, “the fact that we didn’t have any significant injuries is, I think, by sheer luck. You saw what was going on inside the incident. We had over 30 calls for service for EMS and nearly all of those were related to alcohol or consumption of alcohol. Any one of those calls could turn fatal if we’re not able to get resources to those that need it. We really can’t. And so the fact that we escaped without a significant injury is really not something to brag about. It’s sheer luck that that happened.” St. Fratty’s 2025 It is unknown what will happen in 2025. 88 Other than in 2015, the unlawful assembly/neighborhood takeover called "St. Fratty's Day" has only happened in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Each of those three years, we were woken up before dawn, there were people on rooftops, young people openly drinking alcohol, and damage to our neighborhood. It was unacceptable in 2022, with 2,000 people. In 2023 and 2024, SLOPD has said there would be proactive enforcement but the mayhem has been allowed to continue. The City Council and SLOPD were warned of the impending doom in 2023 based on it falling on Friday and Saturday unless some action was taken to prevent it and no action was taken. Messages posted by Cal Poly students on social media in 2022 and 2023 said that SLOPD was "just keeping us safe" and there was a permissive message that the event was okay. So it's no surprise that it happened again in 2024. It should not be allowed to happen again in 2025. You have an opportunity to stop the event by implementing a curfew and not allowing people to gather in the neighborhood. It is not “successful” if even 2,000 people show up for an unlawful assembly in our neighborhood like they did for St. Fratty's in 202 2. A plan is successful if you use all the tools available to prevent the event from happening at all. Please do more this year, than just hiring more law enforcement to cite people and stand by. Use the tools available to stop the event.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. San Luis Obispo City Councilmembers, The illegal drunken takeover of our neighborhood by thousands of people on the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals is unacceptable and needs to be prevented. It’s a dangerous public nuisance for the people who live in our neighborhood and is going to end badly if the City doesn’t come up with a plan that does not allow people this illegal gathering using a different approach. Cal Poly students are replenished with a new class each fall, and they will continue to seek out “the tradition” unless the City uses tools that have been successful in other communities to stop unruly gatherings, such as a curfew. In March 2024, the city manager, Derek Johnson, said that the event must be prevented after the St. Fratty’s Day event on 3/16/2024, and the City Council directed that the event be prevented moving forward. Derek said a resident task force would be formed but that never happened. Back then, the trauma was fresh and the City was motivated, but it seems that motivation has fallen by the wayside and the event is not going to be prevented in 2025. In November 2024, several residents and property owners in the Alta Vista neighborhood formed a task force to communicate with the City about ideas to stop the event because it has affected us since it re- emerged in 2022. It’s notable that before 2022, the only other time St. Fratty’s Day was an “unlawful assembly” in San Luis Obispo was in 2015 when 3,000 people converged into our neighborhood and a roof collapsed at approximately 6:30 a.m., which ended the event that day. It did not return until 2022. On 12/11/2024, members of our task force met with SLOPD, Erica Stewart, and Whitney McDonald. We had prepared a comprehensive plan to stop St. Fratty’s Day, which included setting a curfew, a successful tool in Miami Beach for ending the destructive unlawful assemblies during Spring Break. This suggestion was made by Cal Poly staff during an SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024. During that SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024, it was made clear that Cal Poly is going to take care of Cal Poly at its boundary, and that the City needs to take care of the City within the city limits. Cal Poly representative Michelle Crawford told Deputy City Manager, Greg Hermann and SLOPD Chief R ick Scott, that she recommended looking at what the city of Miami Beach did to stop Spring Break in 2024, with its “We’re breaking up with Spring Break” campaign. A key component of its successful campaign was a curfew. Michelle Crawford commented that Miami Beach’s campaign “worked very effectively.” The resident task force generated a plan using ChatGPT to effectively prevent St. Fratty’s Day using metrics from St. Fratty’s Day 2022, 2023, and 2024, and effective methods from other unlawful assemblies across the country, not including protests. We provided the plan to SLOPD, Erica, and Whitney, and I have attached it to this correspondence, along with the statements from city leaders and an ER doctor that were published when Mardi Gras was canceled.

Messages posted by Cal Poly students on social media in 2022 and 2023 said that SLOPD was "just keeping us safe" and there was a permissive message that the event was okay. So it's no surprise that it happened again in 2024. It should not be allowed to happen again in 2025. You have an opportunity to stop the event by implementing a curfew and not allowing people to gather in the neighborhood. It is not “successful” if even 2,000 people show up for an unlawful assembly in our neighborhood like they did for St. Fratty's in 2022. A plan is successful if you use all the tools available to prevent the event from happening at all. Please do more this year, than just hiring more law enforcement to cite people and stand by. Use the tools available to stop the event.

San Luis Obispo City Councilmembers, The illegal drunken takeover of our neighborhood by thousands of people on the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals is unacceptable and needs to be prevented. It’s a dangerous public nuisance for the people who live in our neighborhood and is going to end badly if the City doesn’t come up with a plan that does not allow people this illegal gathering using a different approach. Cal Poly students are replenished with a new class each fall, and they will continue to seek out “the tradition” unless the City uses tools that have been successful in other communities to stop unruly gatherings, such as a curfew. In March 2024, the city manager, Derek Johnson, said that the event must be prevented after the St. Fratty’s Day event on 3/16/2024, and the City Council directed that the event be prevented moving forward. Derek said a resident task force would be formed but that never happened. Back then, the trauma was fresh and the City was motivated, but it seems that motivation has fallen by the wayside and the event is not going to be prevented in 2025. 100 In November 2024, several residents and property owners in the Alta Vista neighborhood formed a task force to communicate with the City about ideas to stop the event because it has affected us since it re- emerged in 2022. It’s notable that before 2022, the only other time St. Fratty’s Day was an “unlawful assembly” in San Luis Obispo was in 2015 when 3,000 people converged into our neighborhood and a roof collapsed at approximately 6:30 a.m., which ended the event that day. It did not return until 2022. On 12/11/2024, members of our task force met with SLOPD, Erica Stewart, and Whitney McDonald. We had prepared a comprehensive plan to stop St. Fratty’s Day, which included setting a curfew, a successful tool in Miami Beach for ending the destructive unlawful assemblies during Spring Break. This suggestion was made by Cal Poly staff during an SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024. During that SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024, it was made clear that Cal Poly is going to take care of Cal Poly at its boundary, and that the City needs to take care of the City within the city limits. Cal Poly representative Michelle Crawford told Deputy City Manager, Greg Hermann and SLOPD Chief Rick Scott, that she recommended looking at what the city of Miami Beach did to stop Spring Break in 2024, with its “We’re breaking up with Spring Break” campaign. A key component of its successful campaign was a curfew. Michelle Crawford commented that Miami Beach’s campaign “worked very effectively.” The resident task force generated a plan using ChatGPT to effectively prevent St. Fratty’s Day using metrics from St. Fratty’s Day 2022, 2023, and 2024, and effective methods from other unlawful assemblies across the country, not including protests. We pro vided the plan to SLOPD, Erica, and Whitney, and I have attached it to this correspondence, along with the statements from city leaders and an ER doctor that were published when Mardi Gras was canceled. Unfortunately, it does not appear the City has chosen to implement a curfew and therefore, St. Fratty’s Day is going to disrupt our neighborhood yet again, which is super disappointing. I think it’s important to point out that since 2022, SLOPD Chief Scott has repeatedly said they are going to have a “proactive” approach to St. Fratty’s Day, and that approach has failed every year. I want to revisit the facts that are backed up by SLOPD dispatch logs and other documentation since St. Fratty’s 2022. St. Fratty’s Day 2022 In 2022, approximately 2,000 people overtook the intersection of Bond and Hathway, however, the entire neighborhood was affected by screaming people, fireworks, trespassing, and vandalism from 4 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. In 2022, the Saturday before winter finals was on 3/12, five days before St. Patrick’s Day. There were many posts on social media the night before the event that indicated the event was going to happen, but SLOPD did not anticipate the event. Fireworks woke our neighborhood at 4 a.m. There were only a handful of officers in our neighborhood until shift change when more officers came on duty. Some noise citations were written, mostly to known illegal fraternity houses but many calls were not responded to and there was a point where officers stood around the perimeter of the crowd because it was too large. People were openly drinking alcohol, climbing telephone poles, standing on rooftops, and law enforcement did not intervene. They waited until the unlawful assembly of drunken people burnt itself out, six hours after it started. A spreadsheet of the calls to SLOPD dispatch was prepared after St. Fratty's Day to show the timeline and was emailed to the City Council before St. Fratty's 2023: 101 102 During the debrief to the City Council, SLOPD Chief Scott minimized what happened during St. Fratty’s 2022, and said they “went ahead and just secured the area and helped diffuse the rest of the parties to go ahead and help them out of the neighborhoods” and that it only took “a couple of hours to get the situation under control.” The event lasted for six hours and was not under control until 10 a.m. Preparation for St. Fratty’s 2023 In the summer of 2022, I noticed that St. Fratty’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day were back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. I knew that would cause a terrible situation and I wrote to SLOPD Chief Scott and the City Council that summer, expressing my concern. I prepared calendars to illustrate the bad situation. The City did not take any action to implement a Safety Enhancement Zone (SEZ). On 2/21/2023, before St. Fratty’s Day 2023, several concerned residents went to the City Council, explained our concerns, and asked for the city to implement a SEZ, even on an emergency basis, citing the perfect-storm scenario of back-to-back dates on the weekend. The SLOPD Chief was in the audience, and he addressed Council, stating “I would like to say that we do have a plan in place. Contrary to some of the comments, our plan does work.” On 3/7/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott told the City Council “We’ll have available resources from other agencies should that be required. … we’re going to be proactively focused on spot enforcement of critical areas and also those areas where we’ve had historical challenges due to large gatherings and unruly crowds.” On 3/15/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott and Deputy Chief Fred Mickel met with RQN and explained that they had “proactive” plans to address the event. They said they had adequate staff and plans to circumvent any dangerous activity, and we should not be worried because they were on top of it. 103 St. Fratty’s 2023 On 3/18/2023, St. Fratty’s Day, crowds began to overtake the neighborhood at 4 a.m. SLOPD did not anticipate the crowd would gather that early and was not prepared for the volume of people who overtook the neighborhood. College-aged people were openly drinking alcohol, carrying BORGs (Black Out Rage Gallons), and many, many people climbed utility poles without any intervention from law enforcement. SLOPD stood around the perimeter and did not engage with the crowd. I was standing near SLOPD officers when we witnessed a guy climb out onto the utility line doing pull-ups. An officer said there was nothing he could do and that he thought PG&E had turned off the power to the pole. One of my neighbors called 911 because intoxicated guys trespassed onto his property and threatened to fight him. He said the SLOPD dispatcher told him they could not help him due to his proximity to the street party and hung up on him. The unlawful gathering was allowed to continue until it fizzled out at around 10:30 a.m. SLOPD did not shut down large fraternity parties or get people off rooftops. It’s my understanding that SLOPD issued citations after the event based on drone footage, but an Administrative Hearing Officer dismissed those citations so there were no consequences for the citations. During a City Council meeting on 1/9/2024 for the Safety Enhancement Zone, Deputy Chief Mickel admitted that SLOPD was not prepared for St. Fratty’s Day in 2023. A transcript from the meeting is below: Erica Stewart: “On page 405…it says the PD doesn’t do anything during the unruly gatherings and so I thought you could share why the PD respond as they do during the large gatherings.” Fred Mickel: “It really depends on manpower. … like for instance, this past St. Fratty’s Day, we had a much larger – we planned for a large event, (but) this was three times larger than we even thought. It really, unfortunately, caught us a little bit by surprise even though we had a really good plan going into it. And so at that point, you just start managing safety. And that’s our first thing, right? And there’s a lot of things going on, yes we could take action against. And we tried to. We tried some creative approaches to doing some unruly gathering, and we did do some unruly gathering citations during that event. But probably not as many as we could have. But we had to look at the bigger picture of, how do we not only keep the residents as safe as we can, the officers, and all the people that were participating in the party. So, that’s really what drove that. Now if we had the manpower, the personnel, the things that we could do, then absolutely we’d be enforcing the unruly gatherings and those types of things. We just have to weigh those out at the time.” After St. Fratty’s 2023 On 3/21/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott told the City Council that during St. Fratty’s 2023 there was “a larger crowd, as expected, post-COVID” and that “SLOPD was upstaffed” to address the event. The true events that day were downplayed or not discussed. He said he planned to do an after-action analysis and talk with residents of our neighborhood but none of the long-term residents in our neighborhood were contacted. Mitigation Measures: · On 1/9/2024, City Council adopted a SEZ for some weekends in March, including the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals, which is traditionally St. Fratty’s Day. · PG&E removed the lower rungs from utility poles in the neighborhood. 104 St. Fratty’s 2024 Calls to SLOPD dispatch started at 3:20 a.m.; Illegal gathering in the street 5:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Streets were blocked and parties in the upper Alta Vista neighborhood, Albert Drive, until 10:30 a.m. Medical calls/welfare checks (unconscious intoxicated people) until 12:20 p.m. Noisy parties started in the neighborhood just after 3:00 a.m. Four illegal fraternity houses were cited for noisy parties by 4:00 a.m. There was a constant stream of people screaming past our house and a city utility truck placed unmanned barricades at intersections to stop vehicles from driving on the streets just after 6:00 a.m., allowing parades of people to walk down the center of streets. I've attached a PDF that shows the calls to SLOPD dispatch on 3/16/2024, St. Fratty's Day, including complaints at local hotels about noisy people partying between 5:30 a.m. and 6:15 a.m. I've also attached a video posted on social media by an Uber driver who picked up a group of gals at 3:30 a.m. They were "going to Beta" (Beta Theta Pi fraternity) which held a party, as many fraternities did that morning. Some property owners of illegal fraternity houses had received notification from Code Enforcement before St. Fratty's Day, and it seems that message was passed along to the fraternities because some did not host events that day. (I called the owner of 348 Hathway on 2/28/2024 and he promised me the fraternity would not have a party that morning.) Still, 6,000-7,000 people showed up to block neighborhood streets. While it was difficult for them to climb utility poles because the rungs were removed, people trespassed into yards and climbed on parked cars and rooftops. Cars were scratched and windows smashed, fences were torn down, landscapes and bushes were trampled, gutters were torn off houses, etc. Electric and cable lines were pulled down from a house. The weight of people in a front yard caused a sewer line to collapse. The damage to the Cal Poly dorms is often highlighted, but the total damage in the neighborhood was in the tens of thousands of dollars. Numerous people accessed an electrical line from a house to the utility pole and climbed across the wire. One did pull-ups and fell. I heard that he broke his arm and was not identified until days later. Based on dozens of videos posted online, there was no law enforcement anywhere nearby to remove him or the hundreds of people on the rooftops for an extended period. A tenant in a different house documented her terrifying experience, attached to this email. She and her roommates called SLOPD four times because trespassers were on their rooftop and they feared the roof would collapse on them. The SLOPD dispatcher hung up on them. When SLOPD finally arrived, they did not help her to get the people off her roof. Part of her account is below: “The police watched me struggling to clear the roof for over 30 minutes and still refused to take action. I am a young woman who was ill-equipped to stand alone against the drunk and aggressive mob-mentality that prevailed, and I was extremely scared and disheartened by the lack of support we received. If we had received assistance the first time (or two) that we called the police, they would have been able to clear the small crowd of people in our yard and on our roof, before it became a serious and dangerous situation. I understand that large crowds are difficult to control, but my housemates and I were put in danger due to the police’s lack of action, and I urge you to implement safer strategies moving forward.” The ”street party” ended at about 9:30 a.m. Streets were still blocked by college-aged people, and many were obviously intoxicated and it was difficult to get through in a car. There were also rideshare drivers everywhere, blocking the streets with hazard lights on. An unruly gathering was cited at Delta Upsilon’s illegal fraternity house at 281 Albert Drive at 10:30 a.m. 105 Sirens continued as emergency calls for intoxicated people continued until after 12:00 p.m., including an unconscious male on a 2-story rooftop at 146 Stenner and an unconscious male on a rooftop at 1861 Hope. Both are illegal fraternity houses for Kappa Sigma. 106 After St. Fratty’s 2024 During his debrief to the City Council on 3/19/2024, Chief Scott noted that there were no problems at bars or downtown core on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17 th. On St. Fratty’s Day, police presence was tripled with assistance from Cal Poly, CSU CRU Team, California Men’s Colony, and California Alcohol and Beverage Control. He said early enforcement led to citations and arrests but about two hours later (just after 6 a.m.) the streets needed to be closed, as crowds swelled to 6,000 – 7,000 people. He said he found the activities “extremely disappointing, dangerous and criminal. This is not in keeping with Cal Poly’s reputation and certainly not that of our community. Looking ahead, these lawless activities cannot and should not be allowed to occur in our communities .” During the SCLC meeting on 4/18/2024, Chief Scott said, “the fact that we didn’t have any significant injuries is, I think, by sheer luck. You saw what was going on inside the incident. We had over 30 calls for service for EMS and nearly all of those were related to alcohol or consumption of alcohol. Any one of those calls could turn fatal if we’re not able to get resources to those that need it. We really can’t. And so the fact that we escaped without a significant injury is really not something to brag about. It’s sheer luck that that happened.” St. Fratty’s 2025 It is unknown what will happen in 2025. Other than in 2015, the unlawful assembly/neighborhood takeover called "St. Fratty's Day" has only happened in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Each of those three years, we were woken up before dawn, there were people on rooftops, young people openly drinking alcohol, and damage to our neighborhood. It was unacceptable in 2022, with 2,000 people. In 2023 and 2024, SLOPD has said there would be proactive enforcement but the mayhem has been allowed to continue. The City Council and SLOPD were warned of the impending doom in 2023 based on it falling on Friday and Saturday unless some action was taken to prevent it and no action was taken. Messages posted by Cal Poly students on social media in 2022 and 2023 said that SLOPD was "just keeping us safe" and there was a permissive message that the event was okay. So it's no surprise that it happened again in 2024. It should not be allowed to happen again in 2025. You have an opportunity to stop the event by implementing a curfew and not allowing people to gather in the neighborhood. It is not “successful” if even 2,000 people show up for an unlawful assembly in our neighborhood like they did for St. Fratty's in 2022.

A tenant in a different house documented her terrifying experience, attached to this email. She and her roommates called SLOPD four times because trespassers were on their rooftop and they feared the roof would collapse on them. The SLOPD dispatcher hung up on them. When SLOPD finally arrived, they did not help her to get the people off her roof. Part of her account is below: “The police watched me struggling to clear the roof for over 30 minutes and still refused to take action. I am a young woman who was ill-equipped to stand alone against the drunk and aggressive 112 mob-mentality that prevailed, and I was extremely scared and disheartened by the lack of support we received. If we had received assistance the first time (or two) that we called the police, they would have been able to clear the small crowd of people in our yard and on our roof, before it became a serious and dangerous situation. I understand that large crowds are difficult to control, but my housemates and I were put in danger due to the police’s lack of action, and I urge you to implement safer strategies moving forward.” The ”street party” ended at about 9:30 a.m. Streets were still blocked by college-aged people, and many were obviously intoxicated and it was difficult to get through in a car. There were also rideshare drivers everywhere, blocking the streets with hazard lights on. An unruly gathering was cited at Delta Upsilon’s illegal fraternity house at 281 Albert Drive at 10:30 a.m. Sirens continued as emergency calls for intoxicated people continued until after 12:00 p.m., including an unconscious male on a 2-story rooftop at 146 Stenner and an unconscious male on a rooftop at 1861 Hope. Both are illegal fraternity houses for Kappa Sigma. After St. Fratty’s 2024 113 During his debrief to the City Council on 3/19/2024, Chief Scott noted that there were no problems at bars or downtown core on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17 th. On St. Fratty’s Day, police presence was tripled with assistance from Cal Poly, CSU CRU Team, California Men’s Colony, and California Alcohol and Beverage Control. He said early enforcement led to citations and arrests but about two hours later (just after 6 a.m.) the streets needed to be closed, as crowds swelled to 6,000 – 7,000 people. He said he found the activities “extremely disappointing, dangerous and criminal. This is not in keeping with Cal Poly’s reputation and certainly not that of our community. Looking ahead, these lawless activities cannot and should not be allowed to occur in our communities .” During the SCLC meeting on 4/18/2024, Chief Scott said, “the fact that we didn’t have any significant injuries is, I think, by sheer luck. You saw what was going on inside the incident. We had over 30 calls for service for EMS and nearly all of those were related to alcohol or consumption of alcohol. Any one of those calls could turn fatal if we’re not able to get resources to those that need it. We really can’t. And so the fact that we escaped without a significant injury is really not something to brag about. It’s sheer luck that that happened.” St. Fratty’s 2025 It is unknown what will happen in 2025. Other than in 2015, the unlawful assembly/neighborhood takeover called "St. Fratty's Day" has only happened in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Each of those three years, we were woken up before dawn, there were people on rooftops, young people openly drinking alcohol, and damage to our neighborhood. It was unacceptable in 2022, with 2,000 people. In 2023 and 2024, SLOPD has said there would be proactive enforcement but the mayhem has been allowed to continue. The City Council and SLOPD were warned of the impending doom in 2023 based on it falling on Friday and Saturday unless some action was taken to prevent it and no action was taken. Messages posted by Cal Poly students on social media in 2022 and 2023 said that SLOPD was "just keeping us safe" and there was a permissive message that the event was okay. So it's no surprise that it happened again in 2024. It should not be allowed to happen again in 2025. You have an opportunity to stop the event by implementing a curfew and not allowing people to gather in the neighborhood. It is not “successful” if even 2,000 people show up for an unlawful assembly in our neighborhood like they did for St. Fratty's in 2022. A plan is successful if you use all the tools available to prevent the event from happening at all. Please do more this year, than just hiring more law enforcement to cite people and stand by. Use the tools available to stop the event.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. San Luis Obispo City Councilmembers, The illegal drunken takeover of our neighborhood by thousands of people on the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals is unacceptable and needs to be prevented. It’s a dangerous public nuisance for the people who live in our neighborhood and is going to end badly if the City doesn’t come up with a plan that does not allow people this illegal gathering using a different approach. Cal Poly students are replenished with a new class each fall, and they will continue to seek out “the tradition” unless the City uses tools that have been successful in other communities to stop unruly gatherings, such as a curfew. In March 2024, the city manager, Derek Johnson, said that the event must be prevented after the St. Fratty’s Day event on 3/16/2024, and the City Council directed that the event be prevented moving forward. Derek said a resident task force would be formed but that never happened. Back then, the trauma was fresh and 136 the City was motivated, but it seems that motivation has fallen by the wayside and the event is not going to be prevented in 2025. In November 2024, several residents and property owners in the Alta Vista neighborhood formed a task force to communicate with the City about ideas to stop the event because it has affected us since it re- emerged in 2022. It’s notable that before 2022, the only other time St. Fratty’s Day was an “unlawful assembly” in San Luis Obispo was in 2015 when 3,000 people converged into our neighborhood and a roof collapsed at approximately 6:30 a.m., which ended the event that day. It did not return until 2022. On 12/11/2024, members of our task force met with SLOPD, Erica Stewart, and Whitney McDonald. We had prepared a comprehensive plan to stop St. Fratty’s Day, which included setting a curfew, a successful tool in Miami Beach for ending the destructive unlawful assemblies during Spring Break. This suggestion was made by Cal Poly staff during an SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024. During that SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024, it was made clear that Cal Poly is going to take care of Cal Poly at its boundary, and that the City needs to take care of the City within the city limits. Cal Poly representative Michelle Crawford told Deputy City Manager, Greg Hermann and SLOPD Chief Rick Scott, that she recommended looking at what the city of Miami Beach did to stop Spring Break in 2024, with its “We’re breaking up with Spring Break” campaign. A key component of its successful campaign was a curfew. Michelle Crawford commented that Miami Beach’s campaign “worked very effectively.” The resident task force generated a plan using ChatGPT to effectively prevent St. Fratty’s Day using metrics from St. Fratty’s Day 2022, 2023, and 2024, and effective methods from other unlawful assemblies across the country, not including protests. We provided the plan to SLOPD, Erica, and Whitney, and I have attached it to this correspondence, along with the statements from city leaders and an ER doctor that were published when Mardi Gras was canceled. Unfortunately, it does not appear the City has chosen to implement a curfew and therefore, St. Fratty’s Day is going to disrupt our neighborhood yet again, which is super disappointing. I think it’s important to point out that since 2022, SLOPD Chief Scott has repeatedly said they are going to have a “proactive” approach to St. Fratty’s Day, and that approach has failed every year. I want to revisit the facts that are backed up by SLOPD dispatch logs and other documentation since St. Fratty’s 2022. St. Fratty’s Day 2022 In 2022, approximately 2,000 people overtook the intersection of Bond and Hathway, however, the entire neighborhood was affected by screaming people, fireworks, trespassing, and vandalism from 4 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. In 2022, the Saturday before winter finals was on 3/12, five days before St. Patrick’s Day. There were many posts on social media the night before the event that indicated the event was going to happen, but SLOPD did not anticipate the event. Fireworks woke our neighborhood at 4 a.m. There were only a handful of officers in our neighborhood until shift change when more officers came on duty. Some noise citations were written, mostly to known illegal fraternity houses but many calls were not responded to and there was a point where officers stood around the perimeter of the crowd because it was too large. People were openly drinking alcohol, climbing telephone poles, standing on rooftops, and law enforcement did not intervene. They waited until the unlawful assembly of drunken people burnt itself out, six hours after it started. A spreadsheet of the calls to SLOPD dispatch was prepared after St. Fratty's Day to show the timeline and was emailed to the City Council before St. Fratty's 2023: 137 During the debrief to the City Council, SLOPD Chief Scott minimized what happened during St. Fratty’s 2022, and said they “went ahead and just secured the area and helped diffuse the rest of the parties to go ahead and help them out of the neighborhoods” and that it only took “a couple of hours to get the situation under control.” The event lasted for six hours and was not under control until 10 a.m. Preparation for St. Fratty’s 2023 In the summer of 2022, I noticed that St. Fratty’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day were back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. I knew that would cause a terrible situation and I wrote to SLOPD Chief Scott and the City Council that summer, expressing my concern. I prepared calendars to illustrate the bad situation. 138 The City did not take any action to implement a Safety Enhancement Zone (SEZ). On 2/21/2023, before St. Fratty’s Day 2023, several concerned residents went to the City Council, explained our concerns, and asked for the city to implement a SEZ, even on an emergency basis, citing the perfect-storm scenario of back-to- back dates on the weekend. The SLOPD Chief was in the audience, and he addressed Council, stating “I would like to say that we do have a plan in place. Contrary to some of the comments, our plan does work.” On 3/7/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott told the City Council “We’ll have available resources from other agencies should that be required. … we’re going to be proactively focused on spot enforcement of critical areas and also those areas where we’ve had historical challenges due to large gatherings and unruly crowds.” On 3/15/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott and Deputy Chief Fred Mickel met with RQN and explained that they had “proactive” plans to address the event. They said they had adequate staff and plans to circumvent any dangerous activity, and we should not be worried because they were on top of it. St. Fratty’s 2023 On 3/18/2023, St. Fratty’s Day, crowds began to overtake the neighborhood at 4 a.m. SLOPD did not anticipate the crowd would gather that early and was not prepared for the volume of people who overtook the neighborhood. College-aged people were openly drinking alcohol, carrying BORGs (Black Out Rage Gallons), and many, many people climbed utility poles without any intervention from law enforcement. SLOPD stood around the perimeter and did not engage with the crowd. I was standing near SLOPD officers when we witnessed a guy climb out onto the utility line doing pull-ups. An officer said there was nothing he could do and that he thought PG&E had turned off the power to the pole. One of my neighbors called 911 because intoxicated guys trespassed onto his property and threatened to fight him. He said the SLOPD dispatcher told him they could not help him due to his proximity to the street party and hung up on him. The unlawful gathering was allowed to continue until it fizzled out at around 10:30 a.m. SLOPD did not shut down large fraternity parties or get people off rooftops. It’s my understanding that SLOPD issued citations after the event based on drone footage, but an Administrative Hearing Officer dismissed those citations so there were no consequences for the citations. During a City Council meeting on 1/9/2024 for the Safety Enhancement Zone, Deputy Chief Mickel admitted that SLOPD was not prepared for St. Fratty’s Day in 2023. A transcript from the meeting is below: Erica Stewart: “On page 405…it says the PD doesn’t do anything during the unruly gatherings and so I thought you could share why the PD respond as they do during the large gatherings.” Fred Mickel: “It really depends on manpower. … like for instance, this past St. Fratty’s Day, we had a much larger – we planned for a large event, (but) this was three times larger than we even thought. It really, unfortunately, caught us a little bit by surprise even though we had a really good plan going into it. And so at that point, you just start managing safety. And that’s our first thing, right? And there’s a lot of things going on, yes we could take action against. And we tried to. We tried some creative approaches to doing some unruly gathering, and we did do some unruly gathering citations during that event. But probably not as many as we could have. But we had to look at the bigger picture of, how do we not only keep the residents as safe as we can, the officers, and all the people that were participating in the party. So, that’s really what drove that. Now if we had the manpower, the personnel, the things that we could do, then absolutely we’d be enforcing the unruly gatherings and those types of things. We just have to weigh those out at the time.” 139 After St. Fratty’s 2023 On 3/21/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott told the City Council that during St. Fratty’s 2023 there was “a larger crowd, as expected, post-COVID” and that “SLOPD was upstaffed” to address the event. The true events that day were downplayed or not discussed. He said he planned to do an after-action analysis and talk with residents of our neighborhood but none of the long-term residents in our neighborhood were contacted. Mitigation Measures: · On 1/9/2024, City Council adopted a SEZ for some weekends in March, including the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals, which is traditionally St. Fratty’s Day. · PG&E removed the lower rungs from utility poles in the neighborhood. St. Fratty’s 2024 Calls to SLOPD dispatch started at 3:20 a.m.; Illegal gathering in the street 5:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Streets were blocked and parties in the upper Alta Vista neighborhood, Albert Drive, until 10:30 a.m. Medical calls/welfare checks (unconscious intoxicated people) until 12:20 p.m. Noisy parties started in the neighborhood just after 3:00 a.m. Four illegal fraternity houses were cited for noisy parties by 4:00 a.m. There was a constant stream of people screaming past our house and a city utility truck placed unmanned barricades at intersections to stop vehicles from driving on the streets just after 6:00 a.m., allowing parades of people to walk down the center of streets. I've attached a PDF that shows the calls to SLOPD dispatch on 3/16/2024, St. Fratty's Day, including complaints at local hotels about noisy people partying between 5:30 a.m. and 6:15 a.m. I've also attached a video posted on social media by an Uber driver who picked up a group of gals at 3:30 a.m. They were "going to Beta" (Beta Theta Pi fraternity) which held a party, as many fraternities did that morning. Some property owners of illegal fraternity houses had received notification from Code Enforcement before St. Fratty's Day, and it seems that message was passed along to the fraternities because some did not host events that day. (I called the owner of 348 Hathway on 2/28/2024 and he promised me the fraternity would not have a party that morning.) Still, 6,000-7,000 people showed up to block neighborhood streets. While it was difficult for them to climb utility poles because the rungs were removed, people trespassed into yards and climbed on parked cars and rooftops. Cars were scratched and windows smashed, fences were torn down, landscapes and bushes were trampled, gutters were torn off houses, etc. Electric and cable lines were pulled down from a house. The weight of people in a front yard caused a sewer line to collapse. The damage to the Cal Poly dorms is often highlighted, but the total damage in the neighborhood was in the tens of thousands of dollars. Numerous people accessed an electrical line from a house to the utility pole and climbed across the wire. One did pull-ups and fell. I heard that he broke his arm and was not identified until days later. Based on dozens of videos posted online, there was no law enforcement anywhere nearby to remove him or the hundreds of people on the rooftops for an extended period. A tenant in a different house documented her terrifying experience, attached to this email. She and her roommates called SLOPD four times because trespassers were on their rooftop and they feared the roof would collapse on them. The SLOPD dispatcher hung up on them. When SLOPD finally arrived, they did not help her to get the people off her roof. Part of her account is below: “The police watched me struggling to clear the roof for over 30 minutes and still refused to take action. I am a young woman who was ill-equipped to stand alone against the drunk and aggressive 140 mob-mentality that prevailed, and I was extremely scared and disheartened by the lack of support we received. If we had received assistance the first time (or two) that we called the police, they would have been able to clear the small crowd of people in our yard and on our roof, before it became a serious and dangerous situation. I understand that large crowds are difficult to control, but my housemates and I were put in danger due to the police’s lack of action, and I urge you to implement safer strategies moving forward.” The ”street party” ended at about 9:30 a.m. Streets were still blocked by college-aged people, and many were obviously intoxicated and it was difficult to get through in a car. There were also rideshare drivers everywhere, blocking the streets with hazard lights on. An unruly gathering was cited at Delta Upsilon’s illegal fraternity house at 281 Albert Drive at 10:30 a.m. Sirens continued as emergency calls for intoxicated people continued until after 12:00 p.m., including an unconscious male on a 2-story rooftop at 146 Stenner and an unconscious male on a rooftop at 1861 Hope. Both are illegal fraternity houses for Kappa Sigma. After St. Fratty’s 2024 141 During his debrief to the City Council on 3/19/2024, Chief Scott noted that there were no problems at bars or downtown core on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th. On St. Fratty’s Day, police presence was tripled with assistance from Cal Poly, CSU CRU Team, California Men’s Colony, and California Alcohol and Beverage Control. He said early enforcement led to citations and arrests but about two hours later (just after 6 a.m.) the streets needed to be closed, as crowds swelled to 6,000 – 7,000 people. He said he found the activities “extremely disappointing, dangerous and criminal. This is not in keeping with Cal Poly’s reputation and certainly not that of our community. Looking ahead, these lawless activities cannot and should not be allowed to occur in our communities .” During the SCLC meeting on 4/18/2024, Chief Scott said, “the fact that we didn’t have any significant injuries is, I think, by sheer luck. You saw what was going on inside the incident. We had over 30 calls for service for EMS and nearly all of those were related to alcohol or consumption of alcohol. Any one of those calls could turn fatal if we’re not able to get resources to those that need it. We really can’t. And so the fact that we escaped without a significant injury is really not something to brag about. It’s sheer luck that that happened.” St. Fratty’s 2025 It is unknown what will happen in 2025. Other than in 2015, the unlawful assembly/neighborhood takeover called "St. Fratty's Day" has only happened in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Each of those three years, we were woken up before dawn, there were people on rooftops, young people openly drinking alcohol, and damage to our neighborhood. It was unacceptable in 2022, with 2,000 people. In 2023 and 2024, SLOPD has said there would be proactive enforcement but the mayhem has been allowed to continue. The City Council and SLOPD were warned of the impending doom in 2023 based on it falling on Friday and Saturday unless some action was taken to prevent it and no action was taken. Messages posted by Cal Poly students on social media in 2022 and 2023 said that SLOPD was "just keeping us safe" and there was a permissive message that the event was okay. So it's no surprise that it happened again in 2024. It should not be allowed to happen again in 2025. You have an opportunity to stop the event by implementing a curfew and not allowing people to gather in the neighborhood. It is not “successful” if even 2,000 people show up for an unlawful assembly in our neighborhood like they did for St. Fratty's in 2022. A plan is successful if you use all the tools available to prevent the event from happening at all. Please do more this year, than just hiring more law enforcement to cite people and stand by. Use the tools available to stop the event.

Tyler – do you have the ability to attend Agenda Review from 10-12 in council hearing room for ComDev? I don’t expect anything major to come from the meeting but it’s a good time to answer questions about upcoming items/hear if there are needs from our department. Let me know. John, late notice, I know, but do you have any ability to stay for the beginning of Council when City/Cal Poly is doing a presentation on St. Fratties Day? The ComDev slides (just talking about unpermitted fraternities) are not being presented, but will be shown if questions arise about unpermitted frats (unlikely, but possible). This presentation is at the very beginning of the meeting (like during CM updates) so I imagine it will start around 545. Let me know. Understand if you have plans already this evening. Thank you both.

It’s a dangerous public nuisance for the people who live in our neighborhood and is going to end badly if the City doesn’t come up with a plan that does not allow people this illegal gathering using a different approach. Cal Poly students are replenished with a new class each fall, and they will continue to seek out “the tradition” unless the City uses tools that have been successful in other communities to stop unruly gatherings, such as a curfew. In March 2024, the city manager, Derek Johnson, said that the event must be prevented after the St. Fratty’s Day event on 3/16/2024, and the City Council directed that the event be prevented moving forward. Derek said a resident task force would be formed but that never happened. Back then, the trauma was fresh and the City was motivated, but it seems that motivation has fallen by the wayside and the event is not going to be prevented in 2025. In November 2024, several residents and property owners in the Alta Vista neighborhood formed a task force to communicate with the City about ideas to stop the event because it has affected us since it re- emerged in 2022. It’s notable that before 2022, the only other time St. Fratty’s Day was an “unlawful assembly” in San Luis Obispo was in 2015 when 3,000 people converged into our neighborhood and a roof collapsed at approximately 6:30 a.m., which ended the event that day. It did not return until 2022. On 12/11/2024, members of our task force met with SLOPD, Erica Stewart, and Whitney McDonald. We had prepared a comprehensive plan to stop St. Fratty’s Day, which included setting a curfew, a successful tool in Miami Beach for ending the destructive unlawful assemblies during Spring Break. This suggestion was made by Cal Poly staff during an SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024. 155 During that SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024, it was made clear that Cal Poly is going to take care of Cal Poly at its boundary, and that the City needs to take care of the City within the city limits. Cal Poly representative Michelle Crawford told Deputy City Manager, Greg Hermann and SLOPD Chief Rick Scott, that she recommended looking at what the city of Miami Beach did to stop Spring Break in 2024, with its “We’re breaking up with Spring Break” campaign. A key component of its successful campaign was a curfew. Michelle Crawford commented that Miami Beach’s campaign “worked very effectively.” The resident task force generated a plan using ChatGPT to effectively prevent St. Fratty’s Day using metrics from St. Fratty’s Day 2022, 2023, and 2024, and effective methods from other unlawful assemblies across the country, not including protests. We provided the plan to SLOPD, Erica, and Whitney, and I have attached it to this correspondence, along with the statements from city leaders and an ER doctor that were published when Mardi Gras was canceled. Unfortunately, it does not appear the City has chosen to implement a curfew and therefore, St. Fratty’s Day is going to disrupt our neighborhood yet again, which is super disappointing. I think it’s important to point out that since 2022, SLOPD Chief Scott has repeatedly said they are going to have a “proactive” approach to St. Fratty’s Day, and that approach has failed every year. I want to revisit the facts that are backed up by SLOPD dispatch logs and other documentation since St. Fratty’s 2022. St. Fratty’s Day 2022 In 2022, approximately 2,000 people overtook the intersection of Bond and Hathway, however, the entire neighborhood was affected by screaming people, fireworks, trespassing, and vandalism from 4 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. In 2022, the Saturday before winter finals was on 3/12, five days before St. Patrick’s Day. There were many posts on social media the night before the event that indicated the event was going to happen, but SLOPD did not anticipate the event. Fireworks woke our neighborhood at 4 a.m. There were only a handful of officers in our neighborhood until shift change when more officers came on duty. Some noise citations were written, mostly to known illegal fraternity houses but many calls were not responded to and there was a point where officers stood around the perimeter of the crowd because it was too large. People were openly drinking alcohol, climbing telephone poles, standing on rooftops, and law enforcement did not intervene. They waited until the unlawful assembly of drunken people burnt itself out, six hours after it started. A spreadsheet of the calls to SLOPD dispatch was prepared after St. Fratty's Day to show the timeline and was emailed to the City Council before St. Fratty's 2023: 156 During the debrief to the City Council, SLOPD Chief Scott minimized what happened during St. Fratty’s 2022, and said they “went ahead and just secured the area and helped diffuse the rest of the parties to go ahead and help them out of the neighborhoods” and that it only took “a couple of hours to get the situation under control.” The event lasted for six hours and was not under control until 10 a.m. Preparation for St. Fratty’s 2023 In the summer of 2022, I noticed that St. Fratty’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day were back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. I knew that would cause a terrible situation and I wrote to SLOPD Chief Scott and the City Council that summer, expressing my concern. I prepared calendars to illustrate the bad situation. 157 The City did not take any action to implement a Safety Enhancement Zone (SEZ). On 2/21/2023, before St. Fratty’s Day 2023, several concerned residents went to the City Council, explained our concerns, and asked for the city to implement a SEZ, even on an emergency basis, citing the perfect-storm scenario of back-to- back dates on the weekend. The SLOPD Chief was in the audience, and he addressed Council, stating “I would like to say that we do have a plan in place. Contrary to some of the comments, our plan does work.” On 3/7/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott told the City Council “We’ll have available resources from other agencies should that be required. … we’re going to be proactively focused on spot enforcement of critical areas and also those areas where we’ve had historical challenges due to large gatherings and unruly crowds.” On 3/15/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott and Deputy Chief Fred Mickel met with RQN and explained that they had “proactive” plans to address the event. They said they had adequate staff and plans to circumvent any dangerous activity, and we should not be worried because they were on top of it. St. Fratty’s 2023 On 3/18/2023, St. Fratty’s Day, crowds began to overtake the neighborhood at 4 a.m. SLOPD did not anticipate the crowd would gather that early and was not prepared for the volume of people who overtook the neighborhood. College-aged people were openly drinking alcohol, carrying BORGs (Black Out Rage Gallons), and many, many people climbed utility poles without any intervention from law enforcement. SLOPD stood around the perimeter and did not engage with the crowd. I was standing near SLOPD officers when we witnessed a guy climb out onto the utility line doing pull-ups. An officer said there was nothing he could do and that he thought PG&E had turned off the power to the pole. One of my neighbors called 911 because intoxicated guys trespassed onto his property and threatened to fight him. He said the SLOPD dispatcher told him they could not help him due to his proximity to the street party and hung up on him. The unlawful gathering was allowed to continue until it fizzled out at around 10:30 a.m. SLOPD did not shut down large fraternity parties or get people off rooftops. It’s my understanding that SLOPD issued citations after the event based on drone footage, but an Administrative Hearing Officer dismissed those citations so there were no consequences for the citations. During a City Council meeting on 1/9/2024 for the Safety Enhancement Zone, Deputy Chief Mickel admitted that SLOPD was not prepared for St. Fratty’s Day in 2023. A transcript from the meeting is below: Erica Stewart: “On page 405…it says the PD doesn’t do anything during the unruly gatherings and so I thought you could share why the PD respond as they do during the large gatherings.” Fred Mickel: “It really depends on manpower. … like for instance, this past St. Fratty’s Day, we had a much larger – we planned for a large event, (but) this was three times larger than we even thought. It really, unfortunately, caught us a little bit by surprise even though we had a really good plan going into it. And so at that point, you just start managing safety. And that’s our first thing, right? And there’s a lot of things going on, yes we could take action against. And we tried to. We tried some creative approaches to doing some unruly gathering, and we did do some unruly gathering citations during that event. But probably not as many as we could have. But we had to look at the bigger picture of, how do we not only keep the residents as safe as we can, the officers, and all the people that were participating in the party. So, that’s really what drove that. Now if we had the manpower, the personnel, the things that we could do, then absolutely we’d be enforcing the unruly gatherings and those types of things. We just have to weigh those out at the time.” 158 After St. Fratty’s 2023 On 3/21/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott told the City Council that during St. Fratty’s 2023 there was “a larger crowd, as expected, post-COVID” and that “SLOPD was upstaffed” to address the event. The true events that day were downplayed or not discussed. He said he planned to do an after-action analysis and talk with residents of our neighborhood but none of the long-term residents in our neighborhood were contacted. Mitigation Measures: · On 1/9/2024, City Council adopted a SEZ for some weekends in March, including the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals, which is traditionally St. Fratty’s Day. · PG&E removed the lower rungs from utility poles in the neighborhood. St. Fratty’s 2024 Calls to SLOPD dispatch started at 3:20 a.m.; Illegal gathering in the street 5:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Streets were blocked and parties in the upper Alta Vista neighborhood, Albert Drive, until 10:30 a.m. Medical calls/welfare checks (unconscious intoxicated people) until 12:20 p.m. Noisy parties started in the neighborhood just after 3:00 a.m. Four illegal fraternity houses were cited for noisy parties by 4:00 a.m. There was a constant stream of people screaming past our house and a city utility truck placed unmanned barricades at intersections to stop vehicles from driving on the streets just after 6:00 a.m., allowing parades of people to walk down the center of streets. I've attached a PDF that shows the calls to SLOPD dispatch on 3/16/2024, St. Fratty's Day, including complaints at local hotels about noisy people partying between 5:30 a.m. and 6:15 a.m. I've also attached a video posted on social media by an Uber driver who picked up a group of gals at 3:30 a.m. They were "going to Beta" (Beta Theta Pi fraternity) which held a party, as many fraternities did that morning. Some property owners of illegal fraternity houses had received notification from Code Enforcement before St. Fratty's Day, and it seems that message was passed along to the fraternities because some did not host events that day. (I called the owner of 348 Hathway on 2/28/2024 and he promised me the fraternity would not have a party that morning.) Still, 6,000-7,000 people showed up to block neighborhood streets. While it was difficult for them to climb utility poles because the rungs were removed, people trespassed into yards and climbed on parked cars and rooftops. Cars were scratched and windows smashed, fences were torn down, landscapes and bushes were trampled, gutters were torn off houses, etc. Electric and cable lines were pulled down from a house. The weight of people in a front yard caused a sewer line to collapse. The damage to the Cal Poly dorms is often highlighted, but the total damage in the neighborhood was in the tens of thousands of dollars. Numerous people accessed an electrical line from a house to the utility pole and climbed across the wire. One did pull-ups and fell. I heard that he broke his arm and was not identified until days later. Based on dozens of videos posted online, there was no law enforcement anywhere nearby to remove him or the hundreds of people on the rooftops for an extended period. A tenant in a different house documented her terrifying experience, attached to this email. She and her roommates called SLOPD four times because trespassers were on their rooftop and they feared the roof would collapse on them. The SLOPD dispatcher hung up on them. When SLOPD finally arrived, they did not help her to get the people off her roof. Part of her account is below: “The police watched me struggling to clear the roof for over 30 minutes and still refused to take action. I am a young woman who was ill-equipped to stand alone against the drunk and aggressive 159 mob-mentality that prevailed, and I was extremely scared and disheartened by the lack of support we received. If we had received assistance the first time (or two) that we called the police, they would have been able to clear the small crowd of people in our yard and on our roof, before it became a serious and dangerous situation. I understand that large crowds are difficult to control, but my housemates and I were put in danger due to the police’s lack of action, and I urge you to implement safer strategies moving forward.” The ”street party” ended at about 9:30 a.m. Streets were still blocked by college-aged people, and many were obviously intoxicated and it was difficult to get through in a car. There were also rideshare drivers everywhere, blocking the streets with hazard lights on. An unruly gathering was cited at Delta Upsilon’s illegal fraternity house at 281 Albert Drive at 10:30 a.m. Sirens continued as emergency calls for intoxicated people continued until after 12:00 p.m., including an unconscious male on a 2-story rooftop at 146 Stenner and an unconscious male on a rooftop at 1861 Hope. Both are illegal fraternity houses for Kappa Sigma. After St. Fratty’s 2024 160 During his debrief to the City Council on 3/19/2024, Chief Scott noted that there were no problems at bars or downtown core on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th. On St. Fratty’s Day, police presence was tripled with assistance from Cal Poly, CSU CRU Team, California Men’s Colony, and California Alcohol and Beverage Control. He said early enforcement led to citations and arrests but about two hours later (just after 6 a.m.) the streets needed to be closed, as crowds swelled to 6,000 – 7,000 people. He said he found the activities “extremely disappointing, dangerous and criminal. This is not in keeping with Cal Poly’s reputation and certainly not that of our community. Looking ahead, these lawless activities cannot and should not be allowed to occur in our communities .” During the SCLC meeting on 4/18/2024, Chief Scott said, “the fact that we didn’t have any significant injuries is, I think, by sheer luck. You saw what was going on inside the incident. We had over 30 calls for service for EMS and nearly all of those were related to alcohol or consumption of alcohol. Any one of those calls could turn fatal if we’re not able to get resources to those that need it. We really can’t. And so the fact that we escaped without a significant injury is really not something to brag about. It’s sheer luck that that happened.” St. Fratty’s 2025 It is unknown what will happen in 2025. Other than in 2015, the unlawful assembly/neighborhood takeover called "St. Fratty's Day" has only happened in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Each of those three years, we were woken up before dawn, there were people on rooftops, young people openly drinking alcohol, and damage to our neighborhood. It was unacceptable in 2022, with 2,000 people. In 2023 and 2024, SLOPD has said there would be proactive enforcement but the mayhem has been allowed to continue. The City Council and SLOPD were warned of the impending doom in 2023 based on it falling on Friday and Saturday unless some action was taken to prevent it and no action was taken. Messages posted by Cal Poly students on social media in 2022 and 2023 said that SLOPD was "just keeping us safe" and there was a permissive message that the event was okay. So it's no surprise that it happened again in 2024. It should not be allowed to happen again in 2025. You have an opportunity to stop the event by implementing a curfew and not allowing people to gather in the neighborhood. It is not “successful” if even 2,000 people show up for an unlawful assembly in our neighborhood like they did for St. Fratty's in 2022. A plan is successful if you use all the tools available to prevent the event from happening at all. Please do more this year, than just hiring more law enforcement to cite people and stand by. Use the tools available to stop the event. Sincerely, Kathie Walker Comprehensive Plan to Cancel St. Fratty’s Day 2025 To cancel and prevent the unlawful assembly known as St. Fratty's Day in 2025, San Luis Obispo must adopt a multi-layered strategy combining enforcement, preventative measures, public communication, and inter-agency collaboration. Below is a step-by-step guide: 1. Declare the Event as Unlawful in Advance • Public Declaration: o Officially designate that St. Fratty's Day was an unlawful assembly under California Penal Code §407 in 2022, 2023 and 2024. o Issue a resolution by the City Council declaring the event illegal and emphasizing the risks of participation (e.g., injury, arrest, property damage). • Proactive Ordinances: o Pass temporary measures for March 14–16, 2025, including:  A ban on public gatherings of more than 10 people in designated neighborhoods.  Prohibition of rooftop access during the weekend.  Strict noise restrictions and alcohol bans in public spaces. 2. Establish a Curfew By integrating a curfew into the broader prevention plan, San Luis Obispo can take proactive steps to cancel St. Fratty’s Day in 2025 and prioritize the safety of its community. • Details of the Curfew: o Curfew Hours: Midnight to 8:00 AM from March 14 to March 16, 2025. o Affected Area: Apply the curfew to neighborhoods historically impacted by the event. • Enforcement Plan: o Use high-visibility checkpoints at key access points to enforce the curfew. o Deploy foot patrols in residential areas to ensure compliance. o Arrest violators and issue citations for curfew breaches, emphasizing deterrence. • Legal Framework: o Issue the curfew under the city’s emergency powers and its authority under California Government Code §8634, citing public safety concerns. • Rationale for a Curfew o Miami Beach successfully used curfews to control spring break crowds and prevent dangerous behavior, resulting in fewer incidents and improved public safety. o A curfew establishes clear boundaries and reduces the likelihood of large gatherings forming, while also enabling law enforcement to act decisively against violators and fostering the protection of life and property. 3. Launch a Public Awareness Campaign • Campaign Goals: o Discourage attendance and participation in St. Fratty’s Day. o Educate the public on the risks and legal consequences of the event. • Messaging: Launch a city-wide campaign with clear messaging to deter participation. This approach was effective during the 2005 Mardi Gras, where similar messaging was used to discourage large gatherings. o Slogans like "The Party is Over: St. Fratty’s Day 2025" or "Stay Safe, Stay Home." o Use social media, electronic billboards, and local media outlets to reach students and the broader community. o Collaborate with Cal Poly and Cuesta College to send emails and alerts to students emphasizing the event’s dangers and illegality. (See Attachment of statements issued by the Mayor, Cal Poly and Cuesta College Presidents, and Sierra Vista ER doctor in January 2005 regarding the cancellation of Mardi Gras.) • Media Outreach: Utilize local media, social media platforms, and community events to disseminate information about the risks and legal consequences associated with participating in unauthorized gatherings. 4. Strengthen Law Enforcement Resources • Resource Allocation: o Request mutual aid from neighboring agencies, including CHP and Sheriff’s department. o Deploy officers at key areas for proactive prevention. o Prioritize SLOPD presence in affected neighborhoods while Cal Poly Police manage on-campus enforcement. • Crowd Management: o Equip law enforcement with tools for early dispersal, such as loudspeakers, barricades, and mounted patrols. (SLO does not have mounted patrols so perhaps foot and bike patrol.) o Adopt a clear plan to declare an unlawful assembly and disperse crowds at the first sign of gathering in the street. • Zero-Tolerance Policy: o Intervene early to prevent people from converging. o Enforce citations for noise violations, public intoxication, trespassing, and vandalism. 5. Restrict Access to Neighborhoods • Temporary Street Closures: o Restrict vehicle and pedestrian access to impacted areas during the event timeframe. o Issue permits or enact policies for residents and essential personnel to ensure legitimate access. • Barricades: o Place physical barriers at key intersections to prevent crowds from forming. • Parking Restrictions: o Impose temporary no-parking zones in affected neighborhoods. 6. Provide Clear Consequences • Legal Penalties: o Highlight fines for curfew violations, trespassing, and public intoxication (e.g., $1,000+ for major infractions). o Announce that arrests and criminal charges will be reported to the university, potentially impacting academic standing. Fwd: St. Fratty's Day - Student Account From: (email redacted) Date: November 22, 2024 at 2:59:24 PM PST To: twatson@calpoly.edu Subject: St. Fratty's Day - Student Account Hi Tracy! My name is (name redacted), and I am a previous tenant of have been asked to detail to you my concerns regarding “St. Fratty’s Day” celebrations, namely the unsanctioned block party that typically occurs on Hathway Ave. I have attached a detailed timeline of the St. Fratty’s events from this past year, that I wrote and shared with my landlord (name redacted) in April. 'As tenants and Cal Poly students, my housemates and I were aware that the block party would occur near our house. We were concerned about possible damage to the house/yard, and facing fines from SLOPD due to our proximity to the block party, and we communicated this with our landlord well in advance. She had temporary orange fencing installed that circled the yard, and we locked all the doors and windows in preparation. What we did not expect was that partygoers tore down the orange fencing, and began climbing on top of our roof. My roommates and I were inside the house when we heard stomping on the roof, and when I attempted to get people down, I was met with aggression by some men who had used our outdoor furniture and gutters to climb up. We brought the furniture inside, barricaded the door, and had already called the police for help. As the crowd on the roof grew, we became increasingly scared of it collapsing. Our gutters were torn down, our wooden fence was ripped apart, and people attempted to kick down one of the side doors to enter our house. It’s hard to convey the amount of panic we felt inside the house, as we were effectively trapped under a roof that had over 100 people on it and could collapse on us at any moment. We repeatedly called the police for help, and were ignored or hung up on. Eventually, police came into the yard and I went outside to get their assistance clearing the roof. Instead, they accused me of throwing the “entire party” and knowing everyone on the roof (I clarified that they were all strangers, and no party had been held. The police confirmed that they saw no one inside). When I asked for their help getting people off the roof, as I was afraid of it collapsing, they said that I would have to handle it myself, and instead issued me a ticket. In the end, I had to physically pull people down as they tried to scale the sides of the house, and eventually brought a ladder to get everyone off the roof. The police watched me struggling to clear the roof for over 30 minutes, and still refused to take action. I am a young woman who was ill-equipped to stand alone against the drunk and aggressive mob-mentality that prevailed, and I was extremely scared and disheartened by the lack of support we received. If we had received assistance the first time (or two) that we called the police, they would have been able to clear the small crowd of people in our yard and on our roof, before it became a serious and dangerous situation. I understand that large crowds are difficult to control, but my housemates and I were put in danger due to the police’s lack of action, and I urge you to implement safer strategies moving forward.' If any further action is taken or information provided by me is used, please refrain from sharing my name.

Our people – including our college students – are creative and spirited, and special events have been a big part of our community life. The annual Mardi Gras celebration was one such event, growing over the years from a tiny one block celebration into a huge parade. Unfortunately, something else grew along with the parade: Hoards of out- of control and destructive partiers, many from outside the community, who drink excessively and cause major problems. In 2004, this destructive and violent behavior resulted in a riot, which cost our taxpayers almost a half million dollars. This is not what San Luis Obispo is about, and as much as we like special events, our City Council concluded that Mardi Gras in San Luis Obispo must stop – completely. And we have backed up our commitment with the resources necessary to create huge consequences for those who choose to disrespect our town. As your Mayor, I ask that those of you who live in San Luis Obispo help us protect our community from such destructive behavior. Please don’t invite out-of-town guests to San Luis Obispo to party over Mardi Gras weekend (February 4 – 8, 2005). Encourage your friends who live here to enjoy the weekend in a safe and helpful way. If you don’t live in San Luis Obispo, please don’t visit us for Mardi Gras. MARDI GRAS IN SAN LUIS OBISPO IS OVER. Dave Romero Mayor Dear Cal Poly Student: Welcome back to Cal Poly. I hope you enjoyed your holidays and have returned to campus refreshed and eager to start winter quarter. This month you have probably been hearing about the City of San Luis Obispo's intention to bring an end to public celebrations of Mardi Gras. Cal Poly supports the City's plans for strongly discouraging such celebrations and maintaining the peace this year. For more information on these plans, please take a look at www.MardiGrasSLO.com. It is broadly recognized that Cal Poly students are good citizens and contribute much to the community. And all but a small number of Cal Poly students avoided involvement in the serious disturbances in the community associated with last year's Mardi Gras celebrations. We wish to commend you for that. I urge you to heed the City's call for cessation of public Mardi Gras celebrations in the streets of San Luis Obispo and to encourage others to join with you in continuing the Cal Poly traditions of civility and respect for the law. Thank you for your support and cooperation. Sincerely, Warren J. Baker President January 24, 2005 Cuesta College Students RE: Mardi Gras in San Luis Obispo Dear Students, We are pleased to welcome new and returning Cuesta College students to the Spring 2005 semester. For many of you it will be your first time living away from home and your first time experiencing the excitement, fulfillment, and increased sense of responsibility that the college environment fosters. At the same time that you are experiencing wonderful opportunities for personal growth and increased knowledge, you are also encountering more opportunities to socialize. As you might be aware, Mardi Gras weekend is a particularly social period in San Luis Obispo. Unfortunately, Mardi Gras in San Luis Obispo has evolved into an out-of-control party scene that culminated last year in a large-scale, violent riot, which involved a few Cuesta and Cal Poly students as well as out-of-area visitors. Because of those issues, the City of San Luis Obispo is working in conjunction with Cuesta College and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo University to communicate new plans to discourage public Mardi Gras celebrations. These efforts are made in the interest of maintaining peace throughout the city during the Mardi Gras weekend beginning February 4. Higher fines, an increased police presence on the streets of San Luis Obispo, and a more stringent prosecution of offenders are just a few of the ramifications you could face this year if you choose to attend or host Mardi Gras parties. It is always important for you to make safe and responsible decisions, on campus and off. As a Cuesta College student, please join us in reinforcing the need to comply with the City’s call to discontinue public Mardi Gras celebrations in the streets of San Luis Obispo. I urge you to avoid participating in any disorderly public Mardi Gras parties and to discourage out-of-area friends from visiting during that weekend. Please do not drink and drive. Thank you for your support and consideration of this important matter. Sincerely, Marie E. Rosenwasser, Ph.D. Superintendent/President Dr. Steve Sainsbury, Emergency Room Doctor – Sierra Vista Hospital Many of you probably view Mardi Gras as a time of celebration. I view Mardi Gras as a night where my Emergency Department is overwhelmed with drunken brawlers, whose bleeding and scarred faces are devoid of fun or frolic. I view Mardi Gras as a succession of somber women who face the day-after consequences of unwanted or unremembered sexual activity, complete with very real worries about pregnancy, HIV and STDs. I view Mardi Gras as a time when any behavior is deemed acceptable – even if it risks the health and welfare of both police and public – all in the name of “fun”. As a career emergency physician, I dread Mardi Gras like no other event.

San Luis Obispo City Councilmembers, The illegal drunken takeover of our neighborhood by thousands of people on the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals is unacceptable and needs to be prevented. It’s a dangerous public nuisance for the people who live in our neighborhood and is going to end badly if the City doesn’t come up with a plan that does not allow people this illegal gathering using a different approach. Cal Poly students are replenished with a new class each fall, and they will continue to seek out “the tradition” unless the City uses tools that have been successful in other communities to stop unruly gatherings, such as a curfew. In March 2024, the city manager, Derek Johnson, said that the event must be prevented after the St. Fratty’s Day event on 3/16/2024, and the City Council directed that the event be prevented moving forward. Derek said a resident task force would be formed but that never happened. Back then, the trauma was fresh and the City was motivated, but it seems that motivation has fallen by the wayside and the event is not going to be prevented in 2025. In November 2024, several residents and property owners in the Alta Vista neighborhood formed a task force to communicate with the City about ideas to stop the event because it has affected us since it re- emerged in 2022. It’s notable that before 2022, the only other time St. Fratty’s Day was an “unlawful assembly” in San Luis Obispo was in 2015 when 3,000 people converged into our neighborhood and a roof collapsed at approximately 6:30 a.m., which ended the event that day. It did not return until 2022. On 12/11/2024, members of our task force met with SLOPD, Erica Stewart, and Whitney McDonald. We had prepared a comprehensive plan to stop St. Fratty’s Day, which included setting a curfew, a successful tool in Miami Beach for ending the destructive unlawful assemblies during Spring Break. This suggestion was made by Cal Poly staff during an SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024. During that SCLC meeting on 10/17/2024, it was made clear that Cal Poly is going to take care of Cal Poly at its boundary, and that the City needs to take care of the City within the city limits. Cal Poly representative Michelle Crawford told Deputy City Manager, Greg Hermann and SLOPD Chief Rick Scott, that she recommended looking at what the city of Miami Beach did to stop Spring Break in 2024, with its “We’re breaking up with Spring Break” campaign. A key component of its successful campaign was a curfew. Michelle Crawford commented that Miami Beach’s campaign “worked very effectively.” The resident task force generated a plan using ChatGPT to effectively prevent St. Fratty’s Day using metrics from St. Fratty’s Day 2022, 2023, and 2024, and effective methods from other unlawful assemblies across the country, not including protests. We provided the plan to SLOPD, Erica, and Whitney, and I have attached it to this correspondence, along with the statements from city leaders and an ER doctor that were published when Mardi Gras was canceled. 162 Unfortunately, it does not appear the City has chosen to implement a curfew and therefore, St. Fratty’s Day is going to disrupt our neighborhood yet again, which is super disappointing. I think it’s important to point out that since 2022, SLOPD Chief Scott has repeatedly said they are going to have a “proactive” approach to St. Fratty’s Day, and that approach has failed every year. I want to revisit the facts that are backed up by SLOPD dispatch logs and other documentation since St. Fratty’s 2022. St. Fratty’s Day 2022 In 2022, approximately 2,000 people overtook the intersection of Bond and Hathway, however, the entire neighborhood was affected by screaming people, fireworks, trespassing, and vandalism from 4 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. In 2022, the Saturday before winter finals was on 3/12, five days before St. Patrick’s Day. There were many posts on social media the night before the event that indicated the event was going to happen, but SLOPD did not anticipate the event. Fireworks woke our neighborhood at 4 a.m. There were only a handful of officers in our neighborhood until shift change when more officers came on duty. Some noise citations were written, mostly to known illegal fraternity houses but many calls were not responded to and there was a point where officers stood around the perimeter of the crowd because it was too large. People were openly drinking alcohol, climbing telephone poles, standing on rooftops, and law enforcement did not intervene. They waited until the unlawful assembly of drunken people burnt itself out, six hours after it started. A spreadsheet of the calls to SLOPD dispatch was prepared after St. Fratty's Day to show the timeline and was emailed to the City Council before St. Fratty's 2023: During the debrief to the City Council, SLOPD Chief Scott minimized what happened during St. Fratty’s 2022, and said they “went ahead and just secured the area and helped diffuse the rest of the parties to go 163 ahead and help them out of the neighborhoods” and that it only took “a couple of hours to get the situation under control.” The event lasted for six hours and was not under control until 10 a.m. Preparation for St. Fratty’s 2023 In the summer of 2022, I noticed that St. Fratty’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day were back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. I knew that would cause a terrible situation and I wrote to SLOPD Chief Scott and the City Council that summer, expressing my concern. I prepared calendars to illustrate the bad situation. The City did not take any action to implement a Safety Enhancement Zone (SEZ). On 2/21/2023, before St. Fratty’s Day 2023, several concerned residents went to the City Council, explained our concerns, and asked for the city to implement a SEZ, even on an emergency basis, citing the perfect-storm scenario of back-to- back dates on the weekend. The SLOPD Chief was in the audience, and he addressed Council, stating “I would like to say that we do have a plan in place. Contrary to some of the comments, our plan does work.” On 3/7/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott told the City Council “We’ll have available resources from other agencies should that be required. … we’re going to be proactively focused on spot enforcement of critical areas and also those areas where we’ve had historical challenges due to large gatherings and unruly crowds.” On 3/15/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott and Deputy Chief Fred Mickel met with RQN and explained that they had “proactive” plans to address the event. They said they had adequate staff and plans to circumvent any dangerous activity, and we should not be worried because they were on top of it. St. Fratty’s 2023 On 3/18/2023, St. Fratty’s Day, crowds began to overtake the neighborhood at 4 a.m. SLOPD did not anticipate the crowd would gather that early and was not prepared for the volume of people who overtook the neighborhood. College-aged people were openly drinking alcohol, carrying BORGs (Black Out Rage Gallons), and many, many people climbed utility poles without any intervention from law enforcement. SLOPD stood around the perimeter and did not engage with the crowd. I was standing near SLOPD officers when we witnessed a guy climb out onto the utility line doing pull-ups. An officer said there was nothing he could do and that he thought PG&E had turned off the power to the pole. One of my neighbors called 911 because intoxicated guys trespassed onto his property and threatened to fight him. He said the SLOPD dispatcher told him they could not help him due to his proximity to the street party and hung up on him. 164 The unlawful gathering was allowed to continue until it fizzled out at around 10:30 a.m. SLOPD did not shut down large fraternity parties or get people off rooftops. It’s my understanding that SLOPD issued citations after the event based on drone footage, but an Administrative Hearing Officer dismissed those citations so there were no consequences for the citations. During a City Council meeting on 1/9/2024 for the Safety Enhancement Zone, Deputy Chief Mickel admitted that SLOPD was not prepared for St. Fratty’s Day in 2023. A transcript from the meeting is below: Erica Stewart: “On page 405…it says the PD doesn’t do anything during the unruly gatherings and so I thought you could share why the PD respond as they do during the large gatherings.” Fred Mickel: “It really depends on manpower. … like for instance, this past St. Fratty’s Day, we had a much larger – we planned for a large event, (but) this was three times larger than we even thought. It really, unfortunately, caught us a little bit by surprise even though we had a really good plan going into it. And so at that point, you just start managing safety. And that’s our first thing, right? And there’s a lot of things going on, yes we could take action against. And we tried to. We tried some creative approaches to doing some unruly gathering, and we did do some unruly gathering citations during that event. But probably not as many as we could have. But we had to look at the bigger picture of, how do we not only keep the residents as safe as we can, the officers, and all the people that were participating in the party. So, that’s really what drove that. Now if we had the manpower, the personnel, the things that we could do, then absolutely we’d be enforcing the unruly gatherings and those types of things. We just have to weigh those out at the time.” After St. Fratty’s 2023 On 3/21/2023, SLOPD Chief Scott told the City Council that during St. Fratty’s 2023 there was “a larger crowd, as expected, post-COVID” and that “SLOPD was upstaffed” to address the event. The true events that day were downplayed or not discussed. He said he planned to do an after-action analysis and talk with residents of our neighborhood but none of the long-term residents in our neighborhood were contacted. Mitigation Measures: · On 1/9/2024, City Council adopted a SEZ for some weekends in March, including the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals, which is traditionally St. Fratty’s Day. · PG&E removed the lower rungs from utility poles in the neighborhood. St. Fratty’s 2024 Calls to SLOPD dispatch started at 3:20 a.m.; Illegal gathering in the street 5:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Streets were blocked and parties in the upper Alta Vista neighborhood, Albert Drive, until 10:30 a.m. Medical calls/welfare checks (unconscious intoxicated people) until 12:20 p.m. Noisy parties started in the neighborhood just after 3:00 a.m. Four illegal fraternity houses were cited for noisy parties by 4:00 a.m. There was a constant stream of people screaming past our house and a city utility truck placed unmanned barricades at intersections to stop vehicles from driving on the streets just after 6:00 a.m., allowing parades of people to walk down the center of streets. I've attached a PDF that shows the calls to SLOPD dispatch on 3/16/2024, St. Fratty's Day, including complaints at local hotels about noisy people partying between 5:30 a.m. and 6:15 a.m. I've also attached a video posted on social media by an Uber driver who picked up a group of gals at 3:30 a.m. They were "going to Beta" (Beta Theta Pi fraternity) which held a party, as many fraternities did 165 that morning. Some property owners of illegal fraternity houses had received notification from Code Enforcement before St. Fratty's Day, and it seems that message was passed along to the fraternities because some did not host events that day. (I called the owner of 348 Hathway on 2/28/2024 and he promised me the fraternity would not have a party that morning.) Still, 6,000-7,000 people showed up to block neighborhood streets. While it was difficult for them to climb utility poles because the rungs were removed, people trespassed into yards and climbed on parked cars and rooftops. Cars were scratched and windows smashed, fences were torn down, landscapes and bushes were trampled, gutters were torn off houses, etc. Electric and cable lines were pulled down from a house. The weight of people in a front yard caused a sewer line to collapse. The damage to the Cal Poly dorms is often highlighted, but the total damage in the neighborhood was in the tens of thousands of dollars. Numerous people accessed an electrical line from a house to the utility pole and climbed across the wire. One did pull-ups and fell. I heard that he broke his arm and was not identified until days later. Based on dozens of videos posted online, there was no law enforcement anywhere nearby to remove him or the hundreds of people on the rooftops for an extended period. A tenant in a different house documented her terrifying experience, attached to this email. She and her roommates called SLOPD four times because trespassers were on their rooftop and they feared the roof would collapse on them. The SLOPD dispatcher hung up on them. When SLOPD finally arrived, they did not help her to get the people off her roof. Part of her account is below: “The police watched me struggling to clear the roof for over 30 minutes and still refused to take action. I am a young woman who was ill-equipped to stand alone against the drunk and aggressive mob-mentality that prevailed, and I was extremely scared and disheartened by the lack of support we received. If we had received assistance the first time (or two) that we called the police, they would have been able to clear the small crowd of people in our yard and on our roof, before it became a serious and dangerous situation. I understand that large crowds are difficult to control, but my housemates and I were put in danger due to the police’s lack of action, and I urge you to implement safer strategies moving forward.” The ”street party” ended at about 9:30 a.m. Streets were still blocked by college-aged people, and many were obviously intoxicated and it was difficult to get through in a car. There were also rideshare drivers everywhere, blocking the streets with hazard lights on. An unruly gathering was cited at Delta Upsilon’s illegal fraternity house at 281 Albert Drive at 10:30 a.m. Sirens continued as emergency calls for intoxicated people continued until after 12:00 p.m., including an unconscious male on a 2-story rooftop at 146 Stenner and an unconscious male on a rooftop at 1861 Hope. Both are illegal fraternity houses for Kappa Sigma. 166 After St. Fratty’s 2024 During his debrief to the City Council on 3/19/2024, Chief Scott noted that there were no problems at bars or downtown core on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th. On St. Fratty’s Day, police presence was tripled with assistance from Cal Poly, CSU CRU Team, California Men’s Colony, and California Alcohol and Beverage Control. He said early enforcement led to citations and arrests but about two hours later (just after 6 a.m.) the streets needed to be closed, as crowds swelled to 6,000 – 7,000 people. He said he found the activities “extremely disappointing, dangerous and criminal. This is not in keeping with Cal Poly’s reputation and certainly not that of our community. Looking ahead, these lawless activities cannot and should not be allowed to occur in our communities .” During the SCLC meeting on 4/18/2024, Chief Scott said, “the fact that we didn’t have any significant injuries is, I think, by sheer luck. You saw what was going on inside the incident. We had over 30 calls for service for EMS and nearly all of those were related to alcohol or consumption of alcohol. Any one of those calls could turn fatal if we’re not able to get resources to those that need it. We really can’t. And so the fact that we escaped without a significant injury is really not something to brag about. It’s sheer luck that that happened.” St. Fratty’s 2025 It is unknown what will happen in 2025. Other than in 2015, the unlawful assembly/neighborhood takeover called "St. Fratty's Day" has only happened in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Each of those three years, we were woken up before dawn, there were people on rooftops, young people openly drinking alcohol, and damage to our neighborhood. It was unacceptable in 2022, with 2,000 people. In 2023 and 2024, SLOPD has said there would be proactive enforcement but the mayhem has been allowed to continue. 167 The City Council and SLOPD were warned of the impending doom in 2023 based on it falling on Friday and Saturday unless some action was taken to prevent it and no action was taken. Messages posted by Cal Poly students on social media in 2022 and 2023 said that SLOPD was "just keeping us safe" and there was a permissive message that the event was okay. So it's no surprise that it happened again in 2024. It should not be allowed to happen again in 2025. You have an opportunity to stop the event by implementing a curfew and not allowing people to gather in the neighborhood. It is not “successful” if even 2,000 people show up for an unlawful assembly in our neighborhood like they did for St. Fratty's in 2022. A plan is successful if you use all the tools available to prevent the event from happening at all. Please do more this year, than just hiring more law enforcement to cite people and stand by. Use the tools available to stop the event. Sincerely, Kathie Walker Comprehensive Plan to Cancel St. Fratty’s Day 2025 To cancel and prevent the unlawful assembly known as St. Fratty's Day in 2025, San Luis Obispo must adopt a multi-layered strategy combining enforcement, preventative measures, public communication, and inter-agency collaboration. Below is a step-by-step guide: 1. Declare the Event as Unlawful in Advance • Public Declaration: o Officially designate that St. Fratty's Day was an unlawful assembly under California Penal Code §407 in 2022, 2023 and 2024. o Issue a resolution by the City Council declaring the event illegal and emphasizing the risks of participation (e.g., injury, arrest, property damage). • Proactive Ordinances: o Pass temporary measures for March 14–16, 2025, including:  A ban on public gatherings of more than 10 people in designated neighborhoods.  Prohibition of rooftop access during the weekend.  Strict noise restrictions and alcohol bans in public spaces. 2. Establish a Curfew By integrating a curfew into the broader prevention plan, San Luis Obispo can take proactive steps to cancel St. Fratty’s Day in 2025 and prioritize the safety of its community. • Details of the Curfew: o Curfew Hours: Midnight to 8:00 AM from March 14 to March 16, 2025. o Affected Area: Apply the curfew to neighborhoods historically impacted by the event. • Enforcement Plan: o Use high-visibility checkpoints at key access points to enforce the curfew. o Deploy foot patrols in residential areas to ensure compliance. o Arrest violators and issue citations for curfew breaches, emphasizing deterrence. • Legal Framework: o Issue the curfew under the city’s emergency powers and its authority under California Government Code §8634, citing public safety concerns. • Rationale for a Curfew o Miami Beach successfully used curfews to control spring break crowds and prevent dangerous behavior, resulting in fewer incidents and improved public safety. o A curfew establishes clear boundaries and reduces the likelihood of large gatherings forming, while also enabling law enforcement to act decisively against violators and fostering the protection of life and property. 3. Launch a Public Awareness Campaign • Campaign Goals: o Discourage attendance and participation in St. Fratty’s Day. o Educate the public on the risks and legal consequences of the event. • Messaging: Launch a city-wide campaign with clear messaging to deter participation. This approach was effective during the 2005 Mardi Gras, where similar messaging was used to discourage large gatherings. o Slogans like "The Party is Over: St. Fratty’s Day 2025" or "Stay Safe, Stay Home." o Use social media, electronic billboards, and local media outlets to reach students and the broader community. o Collaborate with Cal Poly and Cuesta College to send emails and alerts to students emphasizing the event’s dangers and illegality. (See Attachment of statements issued by the Mayor, Cal Poly and Cuesta College Presidents, and Sierra Vista ER doctor in January 2005 regarding the cancellation of Mardi Gras.) • Media Outreach: Utilize local media, social media platforms, and community events to disseminate information about the risks and legal consequences associated with participating in unauthorized gatherings. 4. Strengthen Law Enforcement Resources • Resource Allocation: o Request mutual aid from neighboring agencies, including CHP and Sheriff’s department. o Deploy officers at key areas for proactive prevention. o Prioritize SLOPD presence in affected neighborhoods while Cal Poly Police manage on-campus enforcement. • Crowd Management: o Equip law enforcement with tools for early dispersal, such as loudspeakers, barricades, and mounted patrols. (SLO does not have mounted patrols so perhaps foot and bike patrol.) o Adopt a clear plan to declare an unlawful assembly and disperse crowds at the first sign of gathering in the street. • Zero-Tolerance Policy: o Intervene early to prevent people from converging. o Enforce citations for noise violations, public intoxication, trespassing, and vandalism. 5. Restrict Access to Neighborhoods • Temporary Street Closures: o Restrict vehicle and pedestrian access to impacted areas during the event timeframe. o Issue permits or enact policies for residents and essential personnel to ensure legitimate access. • Barricades: o Place physical barriers at key intersections to prevent crowds from forming. • Parking Restrictions: o Impose temporary no-parking zones in affected neighborhoods. 6. Provide Clear Consequences • Legal Penalties: o Highlight fines for curfew violations, trespassing, and public intoxication (e.g., $1,000+ for major infractions). o Announce that arrests and criminal charges will be reported to the university, potentially impacting academic standing. Fwd: St. Fratty's Day - Student Account From: (email redacted) Date: November 22, 2024 at 2:59:24 PM PST To: twatson@calpoly.edu Subject: St. Fratty's Day - Student Account Hi Tracy! My name is (name redacted), and I am a previous tenant of I have been asked to detail to you my concerns regarding “St. Fratty’s Day” celebrations, namely the unsanctioned block party that typically occurs on Hathway Ave. I have attached a detailed timeline of the St. Fratty’s events from this past year, that I wrote and shared with my landlord (name redacted) in April. 'As tenants and Cal Poly students, my housemates and I were aware that the block party would occur near our house. We were concerned about possible damage to the house/yard, and facing fines from SLOPD due to our proximity to the block party, and we communicated this with our landlord well in advance. She had temporary orange fencing installed that circled the yard, and we locked all the doors and windows in preparation. What we did not expect was that partygoers tore down the orange fencing, and began climbing on top of our roof. My roommates and I were inside the house when we heard stomping on the roof, and when I attempted to get people down, I was met with aggression by some men who had used our outdoor furniture and gutters to climb up. We brought the furniture inside, barricaded the door, and had already called the police for help. As the crowd on the roof grew, we became increasingly scared of it collapsing. Our gutters were torn down, our wooden fence was ripped apart, and people attempted to kick down one of the side doors to enter our house. It’s hard to convey the amount of panic we felt inside the house, as we were effectively trapped under a roof that had over 100 people on it and could collapse on us at any moment. We repeatedly called the police for help, and were ignored or hung up on. Eventually, police came into the yard and I went outside to get their assistance clearing the roof. Instead, they accused me of throwing the “entire party” and knowing everyone on the roof (I clarified that they were all strangers, and no party had been held. The police confirmed that they saw no one inside). When I asked for their help getting people off the roof, as I was afraid of it collapsing, they said that I would have to handle it myself, and instead issued me a ticket. In the end, I had to physically pull people down as they tried to scale the sides of the house, and eventually brought a ladder to get everyone off the roof. The police watched me struggling to clear the roof for over 30 minutes, and still refused to take action. I am a young woman who was ill-equipped to stand alone against the drunk and aggressive mob-mentality that prevailed, and I was extremely scared and disheartened by the lack of support we received. If we had received assistance the first time (or two) that we called the police, they would have been able to clear the small crowd of people in our yard and on our roof, before it became a serious and dangerous situation. I understand that large crowds are difficult to control, but my housemates and I were put in danger due to the police’s lack of action, and I urge you to implement safer strategies moving forward.' If any further action is taken or information provided by me is used, please refrain from sharing my name. Thank you for your time! https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=c193ab931d&view=pt&search=all&permmsgid=msg-f:1816469536304155060&simpl=msg-f:1816469536304155060 2/2 Dear Friends, I have lived and worked in San Luis Obispo for the majority of my life, and I love this town. Our people – including our college students – are creative and spirited, and special events have been a big part of our community life. The annual Mardi Gras celebration was one such event, growing over the years from a tiny one block celebration into a huge parade. Unfortunately, something else grew along with the parade: Hoards of out- of control and destructive partiers, many from outside the community, who drink excessively and cause major problems. In 2004, this destructive and violent behavior resulted in a riot, which cost our taxpayers almost a half million dollars. This is not what San Luis Obispo is about, and as much as we like special events, our City Council concluded that Mardi Gras in San Luis Obispo must stop – completely. And we have backed up our commitment with the resources necessary to create huge consequences for those who choose to disrespect our town. As your Mayor, I ask that those of you who live in San Luis Obispo help us protect our community from such destructive behavior. Please don’t invite out-of-town guests to San Luis Obispo to party over Mardi Gras weekend (February 4 – 8, 2005). Encourage your friends who live here to enjoy the weekend in a safe and helpful way. If you don’t live in San Luis Obispo, please don’t visit us for Mardi Gras. MARDI GRAS IN SAN LUIS OBISPO IS OVER. Dave Romero Mayor Dear Cal Poly Student: Welcome back to Cal Poly. I hope you enjoyed your holidays and have returned to campus refreshed and eager to start winter quarter. This month you have probably been hearing about the City of San Luis Obispo's intention to bring an end to public celebrations of Mardi Gras. Cal Poly supports the City's plans for strongly discouraging such celebrations and maintaining the peace this year. For more information on these plans, please take a look at www.MardiGrasSLO.com. It is broadly recognized that Cal Poly students are good citizens and contribute much to the community. And all but a small number of Cal Poly students avoided involvement in the serious disturbances in the community associated with last year's Mardi Gras celebrations. We wish to commend you for that. I urge you to heed the City's call for cessation of public Mardi Gras celebrations in the streets of San Luis Obispo and to encourage others to join with you in continuing the Cal Poly traditions of civility and respect for the law. Thank you for your support and cooperation. Sincerely, Warren J. Baker President January 24, 2005 Cuesta College Students RE: Mardi Gras in San Luis Obispo Dear Students, We are pleased to welcome new and returning Cuesta College students to the Spring 2005 semester. For many of you it will be your first time living away from home and your first time experiencing the excitement, fulfillment, and increased sense of responsibility that the college environment fosters. At the same time that you are experiencing wonderful opportunities for personal growth and increased knowledge, you are also encountering more opportunities to socialize. As you might be aware, Mardi Gras weekend is a particularly social period in San Luis Obispo. Unfortunately, Mardi Gras in San Luis Obispo has evolved into an out-of-control party scene that culminated last year in a large-scale, violent riot, which involved a few Cuesta and Cal Poly students as well as out-of-area visitors. Because of those issues, the City of San Luis Obispo is working in conjunction with Cuesta College and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo University to communicate new plans to discourage public Mardi Gras celebrations. These efforts are made in the interest of maintaining peace throughout the city during the Mardi Gras weekend beginning February 4. Higher fines, an increased police presence on the streets of San Luis Obispo, and a more stringent prosecution of offenders are just a few of the ramifications you could face this year if you choose to attend or host Mardi Gras parties. It is always important for you to make safe and responsible decisions, on campus and off. As a Cuesta College student, please join us in reinforcing the need to comply with the City’s call to discontinue public Mardi Gras celebrations in the streets of San Luis Obispo. I urge you to avoid participating in any disorderly public Mardi Gras parties and to discourage out-of-area friends from visiting during that weekend. Please do not drink and drive. Thank you for your support and consideration of this important matter. Sincerely, Marie E. Rosenwasser, Ph.D. Superintendent/President Dr. Steve Sainsbury, Emergency Room Doctor – Sierra Vista Hospital Many of you probably view Mardi Gras as a time of celebration. I view Mardi Gras as a night where my Emergency Department is overwhelmed with drunken brawlers, whose bleeding and scarred faces are devoid of fun or frolic. I view Mardi Gras as a succession of somber women who face the day-after consequences of unwanted or unremembered sexual activity, complete with very real worries about pregnancy, HIV and STDs.

I guess what I'm trying to say, not very successfully, is that the point of the presentation was supposed to address concerns related to Cal Poly's handling of St. Fratty's Day. Full stop. Cal Poly does not have a SEZ and has plans only related to the weekend of St. Fratty's Day, which the City is relying on. Cal Poly's plan stops at its boundary and does not include the neighborhoods. The Agenda Item does not convey that accurately. Somehow, somewhere along the line, the presentation changed from the Council's directive on 11/19/2024 to now include the City, and it is a joint presentation. However, after St. Fratty's re-emerged in 2022 and caused damage to our properties and general welfare, Cal Poly failed to take responsibility in 2022 and 2023. It has only since their dorms were so severely damaged in 2024 that they subsequently formed a task force, which is focused on protecting Cal Poly's campus and doesn't involve the City's neighborhoods. The task force only began including the City (Chief Scott) in November and is asking SLOPD to assist on Cal Poly's campus. So on one hand, it's letting Cal Poly off the hook to make this a joint presentation with the City when they've been pushing off their responsibility for the event until it had consequential damages to its campus. The City's plan is distinctly separate from Cal Poly's plan. Cal Poly is taking care of its campus and the City is responsible for taking care of the neighborhoods. Erica told me that Cal Poly isn't paying for law enforcement to protect our neighborhoods. That's up to us, the taxpayers, to pay for those expenses. I understand that it's convenient for the City to make a joint presentation, but I don't agree with the premise because I have heard the message from Cal Poly all along, that Cal Poly's responsibility stops at its property boundaries. As Michelle Crawford suggested to City leadership during an SCLC meeting, the City needs to take care of the City. She suggested the City look at what Miami Beach did during its Spring Break "We're breaking up with Spring Break" ad campaign in 2024. The key piece of that campaign was a curfew, but the City does not seem to be moving in that direction. Instead, the City is paying for a lot more law enforcement to oversee the St. Fratty's event in our neighborhood. And Cal Poly's separate plan is to protect its dorms and campus. The bottom line: I don't see how Cal Poly's plan has anything to do with the SEZ since Cal Poly does not have a SEZ, and the directive was for Cal Poly to present its plan. That is getting muddled with the City's plan, which is separate from Cal Poly's plan. And the Agenda item is not transparent as it the presentation is mostly related to Cal Poly's plan for St. Fratty's Day. That's it. Thank you for listening.

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Dear Elected Representatives, 186 The City Council Agenda for 2/4/2025 lists an item called "March Safety Enhancement Zone Response Plan Presentation" and does not specifically mention St. Fratty's Day or St. Patrick's Day, which is confusing. Most non-college-student community members probably don't understand what a safety enhancement zone means, however, they do know what St. Fratty's Day or St. Patrick's Day in SLO means. Many community members will read the Agenda and not understand that the "Response Plan Presentation" has anything to do with plans for St. Fratty's Day on Saturday, March 15th, or St. Patrick's Day on Monday, March 17th. A presentation by Cal Poly to address St. Fratty’s Day was discussed during the City Council meeting on November 19, 2024, with the directive that Cal Poly present its plans to the City Council and the community in early 2025. The Agenda Item about the ‘safety enhancement zone’ is actually that presentation, referenced during the City Council meeting on 11/19/2024, specifically related to Cal Poly’s preparations for St. Fratty’s Day, a.k.a. the neighborhood street party on the Saturday before winter finals when college students set their alarms for 3:17 a.m., quickly consume high amounts of alcohol, and converge into our neighborhood, creating a dangerous unlawful assembly with thousands of people. It is a stand- alone event and is separate from St. Patrick's Day, which is always on March 17th and is mostly celebrated by people over 21 years old at downtown bars. It appears the Council’s directive has morphed a bit, and the City has joined forces with Cal Poly for the presentation to be given on 2/4/2025. But still, the core of the issue is related to the Saturday St. Fratty’s Day event and its disruption to our neighborhoods. I hope that won't be minimized or confused with St. Patrick's Day on Monday, March 17. During the November 19th meeting, City Council discussed concerns about Cal Poly’s role in St. Fratty’s Day, and that the event “needs to end.” Councilmember Marx noted that some Cal Poly students were trapped in their homes during the morning of St. Fratty’s Day 2024. I have attached the documented account of one of those students from an email sent to the Student Community Liaison Committee or SCLC (See attachment: “Fwd_St. Fratty's Day - Student Account.pdf”). Unfortunately, I don’t believe the email was ever distributed to each of the SCLC representatives. Councilmember Marx said, “I don’t know if Cal Poly has gotten the message that the City of San Luis Obispo wants this event to stop,” referring to the Saturday St. Fratty’s Day event. She said, “I’m afraid that we’re going to be faced with the same situation in March that we had last March” and described how fraternities start planning St. Fratty’s Day in the winter quarter, people order clothing or costumes, and that our city needs to give a strong message that this event has to stop and should not be accepted as the status quo. She asked if St. Fratty’s Day could be added to the Council’s Agenda. The city manager responded that she would request that Cal Poly come to the City Council and provide a presentation “to give people an idea of what they (Cal Poly) have been planning…in terms of a discussion with the Council and in reporting out what they’re planning on doing…” Again, the city manager was specifically referring to the St. Fratty’s Day event on Saturday, March 15, 2025. Two days later, on Thursday, 11/21/2024, Councilmember Michelle Shoresman reported to the SCLC members that the City Council discussed the Council’s “concerns” about the Saturday St. Fratty's Day event. She said the Council “directed staff to ask Cal Poly to come and give an update on their plans so that all of this information can be shared with the community, too.” I understand that the safety enhancement zone in March was expanded last year to include a few weekends in March, including the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals when St. Fratty’s Day 187 occurs, and the weekend before St. Fratty’s Day, which has also become a heavy-party weekend in our neighborhoods among Cal Poly’s fraternities in the past couple of years. But most community members likely don’t know what a safety enhancement zone is, or that the item on the Agenda is related to St. Fratty's or Patrick’s Day. I feel it would have been more accurate and transparent to at least include “St. Patrick’s Day” in the wording of the Council Agenda item. Hopefully, it will be specifically stated in any future Agendas so it is made clear to community members. Finally, it is confusing to reference "St. Patrick's Day" when it doesn't mean St. Patrick's Day on March 17 and actually means St. Fratty's Day on the Saturday before Cal Poly winter finals. St. Fratty's Day was started by a Cal Poly fraternity in 2009, who coined the name St. Fratty's Day. It evolved into a street party in 2015 when a few fraternities operating illegally on Hathway Ave hosted events there was a mass casualty incident because of a roof collapse. The event was called "St. Fratty's Day" in Cal Poly's after-action report. It re-emerged in 2022 because several Cal Poly fraternities organized simultaneous parties at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood and they overflowed into the Hathway Avenue and Bond Street. The SLOPD dispatch log shows the activity and citations issued to addresses that are known fraternity houses, illegally operating in our neighborhood. Video documentation also shows parties at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. There were several posts on social media about being on Sigma Nu's rooftop, which was the fraternity illegally operating at 348 Hathway Ave a.k.a."the Pink House" in 2022. (I called SLOPD about the crazy party and rooftop activity at this address twice that morning and it was never issued a citation.) Some fraternities rented port-a-potties for their yards and hired DJs to blast music at their illegal fraternity houses in single-family areas, including on Albert Drive. In 2023, many Cal Poly fraternities listed parties on St. Fratty's Day, Saturday 3/18 in their AB 524 reports, and not a single fraternity had a party listed on St. Patrick's Day on 3/17/2023 even though it fell on a Friday in 2023. Apparently, they were not interested in celebrating St. Patrick's Day and were saving their energy for St. Fratty's Day on Saturday. There is negative publicity around the event, and, thus, Cal Poly fraternities want to distance themselves from the name "St. Fratty's Day". It's a little late for that and it is disingenuous to claim that fraternities are not involved in the event. They have been, historically, since 2009 to the present. In 2024, the then-president of Cal Poly's Interfraternity Council, a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity, rebuked the term "St. Fratty's Day" and claimed fraternities do not sanction the event. However, four noise citations were issued to Cal Poly fraternities before 4 a.m. on St. Fratty's Day. Also, Delta Upsilon, had a blow-out St. Fratty's Day party later that morning at their illegal fraternity house at 281 Albert Drive. SLOPD issued an unruly gathering citation to a member of Delta Upsilon's leadership, and a police report was filed regarding the party. Delta Upsilon was on social probation from February 2024 to April 2024 and was not supposed to have parties during that time. There were other parties at illegal fraternity houses that morning, as well. It is disingenuous for Cal Poly and its fraternities to reject the term "St. Fratty's Day" because they feel it has a negative connotation. The event was founded by a Cal Poly fraternity, and the tradition has been carried forward by many Cal Poly fraternities, up to the present. They should take responsibility and stop the event. Their actions should be consistent with their words. 188 Everyone knows that the Saturday "St. Fratty's Day" event is not the same as St. Patrick's Day, on March 17th. Please try to be clear around the messaging for St. Fratty's Day versus St. Patrick's Day so there isn't confusion within our community. When the event stops, we will never have to say St. Fratty's Day in the present tense again. Information and documentation related to the history of St. Fratty's Day in SLO is conveniently accessible at StFrattys.com.

SLOPD issued an unruly gathering citation to a member of Delta Upsilon's leadership, and a police report was filed regarding the party. Delta Upsilon was on social probation from February 2024 to April 2024 and was not supposed to have parties during that time. There were other parties at illegal fraternity houses that morning, as well. It is disingenuous for Cal Poly and its fraternities to reject the term "St. Fratty's Day" because they feel it has a negative connotation. The event was founded by a Cal Poly fraternity, and the tradition has been carried forward by many Cal Poly fraternities, up to the present. They should take responsibility and stop the event. Their actions should be consistent with their words. Everyone knows that the Saturday "St. Fratty's Day" event is not the same as St. Patrick's Day, on March 17th. Please try to be clear around the messaging for St. Fratty's Day versus St. Patrick's Day so there isn't confusion within our community. When the event stops, we will never have to say St. Fratty's Day in the present tense again. Information and documentation related to the history of St. Fratty's Day in SLO is conveniently accessible at StFrattys.com.

Kathie, Thank you for the clarification and I appreciate it. I’m sure staff will see your email and try to be more clear in the future. That said, I also DO see the value in referring to the safety enhancement zone in the title of the item as the SEZ does surround both St. Patricks and St. Fratty’s Day, so it is intended to include both. I also think that the Greek system entities are very aware, as are affected community members, of what safety enhancement zones are. Maybe not everyone, I agree. But, many do. Regardless, again, your suggestion is noted. I am guessing we will see you Tuesday night and I appreciate your ongoing support for our efforts to end this event and our attempts to achieve assistance from Cal Poly in doing so.

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Dear Elected Representatives, The City Council Agenda for 2/4/2025 lists an item called "March Safety Enhancement Zone Response Plan Presentation" and does not specifically mention St. Fratty's Day or St. Patrick's Day, which is confusing. Most non-college-student community members probably don't understand what a safety enhancement zone means, however, they do know what St. Fratty's Day or St. Patrick's Day in SLO means. Many community members will read the Agenda and not understand that the "Response Plan Presentation" has anything to do with plans for St. Fratty's Day on Saturday, March 15th, or St. Patrick's Day on Monday, March 17th. A presentation by Cal Poly to address St. Fratty’s Day was discussed during the City Council meeting on November 19, 2024, with the directive that Cal Poly present its plans to the City Council and the community in early 2025. The Agenda Item about the ‘safety enhancement zone’ is actually that presentation, referenced during the City Council meeting on 11/19/2024, specifically related to Cal Poly’s preparations for St. Fratty’s Day, a.k.a. the neighborhood street party on the Saturday before winter finals when college students set their alarms for 3:17 a.m., quickly consume high amounts of alcohol, and converge into our neighborhood, creating a dangerous unlawful assembly with thousands of people. It is a stand-alone 194 event and is separate from St. Patrick's Day, which is always on March 17th and is mostly celebrated by people over 21 years old at downtown bars. It appears the Council’s directive has morphed a bit, and the City has joined forces with Cal Poly for the presentation to be given on 2/4/2025. But still, the core of the issue is related to the Saturday St. Fratty’s Day event and its disruption to our ne ighborhoods. I hope that won't be minimized or confused with St. Patrick's Day on Monday, March 17. During the November 19th meeting, City Council discussed concerns about Cal Poly’s role in St. Fratty’s Day, and that the event “needs to end.” Councilmember Marx noted that some Cal Poly students were trapped in their homes during the morning of St. Fratty’s Day 2024. I have attached the documented account of one of those students from an email sent to the Student Community Liaison Committee or SCLC (See attachment: “Fwd_St. Fratty's Day - Student Account.pdf”). Unfortunately, I don’t believe the email was ever distributed to each of the SCLC representatives. Councilmember Marx said, “I don’t know if Cal Poly has gotten the message that the City of San Luis Obispo wants this event to stop,” referring to the Saturday St. Fratty’s Day event. She said, “I’m afraid that we’re going to be faced with the same situation in March that we had last March” and described how fraternities start planning St. Fratty’s Day in the winter quarter, people order clothing or costumes, and that our city needs to give a strong message that this event has to stop and should not be accepted as the status quo. She asked if St. Fratty’s Day could be added to the Council’s Agenda. The city manager responded that she would request that Cal Poly come to the City Council and provide a presentation “to give people an idea of what they (Cal Poly) have been planning…in terms of a discussion with the Council and in reporting out what they’re planning on doing…” Again, the city manager was specifically referring to the St. Fratty’s Day event on Saturday, March 15, 2025. Two days later, on Thursday, 11/21/2024, Councilmember Michelle Shoresman reported to the SCLC members that the City Council discussed the Council’s “concerns” about the Saturday St. Fratty's Day event. She said the Council “directed staff to ask Cal Poly to come and give an update on their plans so that all of this information can be shared with the community, too.” I understand that the safety enhancement zone in March was expanded last year to include a few weekends in March, including the Saturday before Cal Poly’s winter finals when St. Fratty’s Day occurs, and the weekend before St. Fratty’s Day, which has also become a heavy-party weekend in our neighborhoods among Cal Poly’s fraternities in the past couple of years. But most community members likely don’t know what a safety enhancement zone is, or that the item on the Agenda is related to St. Fratty's or Patrick’s Day. I feel it would have been more accurate and transparent to at least include “St. Patrick’s Day” in the wording of the Council Agenda item. Hopefully, it will be specifically stated in any future Agendas so it is made clear to community members. Finally, it is confusing to reference "St. Patrick's Day" when it doesn't mean St. Patrick's Day on March 17 and actually means St. Fratty's Day on the Saturday before Cal Poly winter finals. St. Fratty's Day was started by a Cal Poly fraternity in 2009, who coined the name St. Fratty's Day. It evolved into a street party in 2015 when a few fraternities operating illegally on Hathway Ave hosted events there was a mass casualty incident because of a roof collapse. The event was called "St. Fratty's Day" in Cal Poly's after-action report. It re-emerged in 2022 because several Cal Poly fraternities organized simultaneous parties at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood and they overflowed into the Hathway Avenue and Bond Street. The SLOPD dispatch log shows the activity and citations issued to addresses that are known fraternity houses, illegally operating in our neighborhood. Video documentation also shows parties at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. There were several posts on social media about being on Sigma Nu's rooftop, which was the fraternity illegally operating at 348 Hathway Ave a.k.a."the Pink House" in 2022. (I called SLOPD about the crazy party and rooftop activity at this address twice that morning and 195 it was never issued a citation.) Some fraternities rented port-a-potties for their yards and hired DJs to blast music at their illegal fraternity houses in single-family areas, including on Albert Drive. In 2023, many Cal Poly fraternities listed parties on St. Fratty's Day, Saturday 3/18 in their AB 524 reports, and not a single fraternity had a party listed on St. Patrick's Day on 3/17/2023 even though it fell on a Friday in 2023. Apparently, they were not interested in celebrating St. Patrick's Day and were saving their energy for St. Fratty's Day on Saturday. There is negative publicity around the event, and, thus, Cal Poly fraternities want to distance themselves from the name "St. Fratty's Day". It's a little late for that and it is disingenuous to claim that fraternities are not involved in the event. They have been, historically, since 2009 to the present. In 2024, the then-president of Cal Poly's Interfraternity Council, a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity, rebuked the term "St. Fratty's Day" and claimed fraternities do not sanction the event. However, four noise citations were issued to Cal Poly fraternities before 4 a.m. on St. Fratty's Day. Also, Delta Upsilon, had a blow-out St. Fratty's Day party later that morning at their illegal fraternity house at 281 Albert Drive.

Thank you for your patience as we work on compiling all the responsive records. Potentially responsive records in this batch have been reviewed by Eric Wooten, Paralegal, and Sadie Symens, Deputy City Attorney. Internal photographs of fraternities taken during routine inspections were not produced, since they are exempt from public disclosure under Evidence Code § 1040, as the information was acquired in confidence by public employees in the course of their duties, and further exempt under Government Code Section 7922.000, as the public interest in nondisclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure. Additionally, information identifying complainants of code enforcement violations has been redacted pursuant to City of San Jose v. Superior Court (1999) 74 Cal.App.4th 1008 and Government Code § 7922.000, as the public interest in nondisclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure. Uploaded is our third batch of documents, which are records from code enforcement that correspond to city addresses that: 1) City staff determined meet the definition of “fraternity” under the municipal code; 2) Were alleged to be fraternities by the complainant; or 3) City staff determined met one of the two prongs of the definition of “fraternity” under the municipal code. In these instances, a notification of a potential violation of Municipal Code 17.10.020 was provided to the property owners. Please let us know if you would like to speak to someone in our Community Development Department, which includes code enforcement, to answer any questions that may arise after your review these files. Uploaded records can be found here: Responsive Records I am copying City Attorney Christine Dietrick and the Clerk’s Office on this email, so they are aware of the status of your request.

Please try to be clear around the messaging for St. Fratty's Day versus St. Patrick's Day so there isn't confusion within our community. When the event stops, we will never have to say St. Fratty's Day in the present tense again. Information and documentation related to the history of St. Fratty's Day in SLO is conveniently accessible at StFrattys.com. Thank you, Kathie Walker Fwd: St. Fratty's Day - Student Account From: (email redacted) Date: November 22, 2024 at 2:59:24 PM PST To: twatson@calpoly.edu Subject: St. Fratty's Day - Student Account Hi Tracy! My name is (name redacted), and I am a previous tenant of I have been asked to detail to you my concerns regarding “St. Fratty’s Day” celebrations, namely the unsanctioned block party that typically occurs on Hathway Ave. I have attached a detailed timeline of the St. Fratty’s events from this past year, that I wrote and shared with my landlord (name redacted) in April. 'As tenants and Cal Poly students, my housemates and I were aware that the block party would occur near our house. We were concerned about possible damage to the house/yard, and facing fines from SLOPD due to our proximity to the block party, and we communicated this with our landlord well in advance. She had temporary orange fencing installed that circled the yard, and we locked all the doors and windows in preparation. What we did not expect was that partygoers tore down the orange fencing, and began climbing on top of our roof. My roommates and I were inside the house when we heard stomping on the roof, and when I attempted to get people down, I was met with aggression by some men who had used our outdoor furniture and gutters to climb up. We brought the furniture inside, barricaded the door, and had already called the police for help. As the crowd on the roof grew, we became increasingly scared of it collapsing. Our gutters were torn down, our wooden fence was ripped apart, and people attempted to kick down one of the side doors to enter our house. It’s hard to convey the amount of panic we felt inside the house, as we were effectively trapped under a roof that had over 100 people on it and could collapse on us at any moment. We repeatedly called the police for help, and were ignored or hung up on. Eventually, police came into the yard and I went outside to get their assistance clearing the roof. Instead, they accused me of throwing the “entire party” and knowing everyone on the roof (I clarified that they were all strangers, and no party had been held. The police confirmed that they saw no one inside). When I asked for their help getting people off the roof, as I was afraid of it collapsing, they said that I would have to handle it myself, and instead issued me a ticket. In the end, I had to physically pull people down as they tried to scale the sides of the house, and eventually brought a ladder to get everyone off the roof. The police watched me struggling to clear the roof for over 30 minutes, and still refused to take action. I am a young woman who was ill-equipped to stand alone against the drunk and aggressive mob-mentality that prevailed, and I was extremely scared and disheartened by the lack of support we received. If we had received assistance the first time (or two) that we called the police, they would have been able to clear the small crowd of people in our yard and on our roof, before it became a serious and dangerous situation. I understand that large crowds are difficult to control, but my housemates and I were put in danger due to the police’s lack of action, and I urge you to implement safer strategies moving forward.' If any further action is taken or information provided by me is used, please refrain from sharing my name.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Hello Whitney and Timmi, Ten years ago, SCLC facilitated a civility agreement between and among the City/Cal Poly/Cuesta. We won an award from the International Town-Gown association for this effort, see below. Given the deterioration of student-permanent residents in the neighborhoods, and Cal Poly's stance that fraternity anti social behavior is "not my problem," perhaps it is time for an update. I am sending the below information to you now, so that you have some historical context when dealing with Cal Poly regarding St. Fratty's Day (which may not have existed in 2015). Best wishes, Jan The link to the SLCO City agenda item of 5-19-2015 is below. https://opengov.slocity.org/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=35917&dbid=0&repo=CityClerk&cr=1 Here, also, is a link to an article about our 2015 Civility Agreement getting the International Town Gown award, which summaries the agreement pretty well. https://www.itga.org/images/Awards/SLO-City-Cal_Poly-Cuesta-Abernathy-Award-Application.pdf 209 From:Tway, Timothea (Timmi) Sent:Wednesday, January 29, 2025 2:36 PM To:Sheats, Steven; Mezzapesa, John Subject:RE: Updated code numbers needed asap THANK YOU From: Sheats, Steven <ssheats@slocity.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2025 2:34 PM To: Tway, Timothea (Timmi) <TTway@slocity.org>; Mezzapesa, John <JMezzape@slocity.org> Subject: RE: Updated code numbers needed asap Hello!

I live oƯ of Broad St between South and Orcutt. I have lived there for 10 years and during that time there have been many homes built in my neighborhood and along the railroad area. This all creates additional traƯic coming onto Broad st which requires cars to feed through the center median. In addition, the new home developments south of Orcutt/Rigetti etc mean there are many more people using Broad st to get downtown. We need improvements for routing traƯic and people across Broad St - center dividers, traƯic lights etc. It should be a requirement for these new housing projects to fund safety improvements to the main feeder roads that link the neighborhoods to downtown. I support plans to improve the Broad St. corridor. As a resident of that area and as a frequent pedestrian I feel there is much need to improve this corridor. 1. Fund 3 additional code enforcement oƯicials to enhance neighborhood code compliance. 2. Add 2 CSO’s to enforce party noise in neighborhoods from Thursday through Sunday and other holiday events. 3. Fund additional public safety personnel to assist in eliminating St. Frattys Day event. 1. Quality of life: 3 additional code enforcement oƯicers, 2 for code violations and 1 specifically for illegal fraternities. 2. Safety: require exterior door deadbolts and window locks for rental properties; vote to agendize an ordinance to prohibit gatherings on the roof - or at least a study session. 3. Subpoena Cal Poly's records of the addresses of all Fraternity / Sorority Houses and satellite houses including the event registrations. As “studentication” (I used to call it gentrification) marches into the neighborhoods it would be nice to have rules in place to limit number of occupants. That was a rule at one point, as was number of parking places required per occupant. Did that all get dismissed? Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 2 Housing Safety, AƯordability, and Neighborhood Livability Get illegal fraternity operations out of the residential neighborhoods. Review current CUPs for fraternities to ensure compliance and require re-review if there are violations (e.g. recent noise violations) I am very concerned about the number of illegal fraternities operating in R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods. They are causing a severe deterioration in neighborhoods who are suƯering from ongoing non-regulated parties, Move fraternities and sororities to CP campus. Expedite permitting process for multi-family housing, even if at market rate The permits and regulations are a bit much. Way too pricey and take incredibly long. This is driving up cost of homes period. It’s impossible to build aƯordable housing because of the lengths and the hoops these developers have to go through and pay for. Some of these developments we’re seeing come to life today have been in motion since THE 90s. While I appreciate the quaint well planned city, how are we supposed to build adu’s, aƯord to restore our homes, create more space for ourselves and neighbors?! Grants for ADUs. Faster approval processes. 1. Neighborhood livability/impact in implementing long standing initiatives checklist. Neighborhood livability has fallen victim to more general issues (housing stock, climate change, etc) and the impact on neighborhood livability is often disregarded as part of the greater good. A formal step which encourages looking through the lens of community livability would perhaps inform implementers as to issues to resolve before implementation. 2. Healthcare as a factor to consider when attempting to meet housing growth goals. The more we build, the greater the population in an area which is increasingly challenged by lack of healthcare providers. Identifying the scope of the problem and what the city can do to help attract/keep healthcare providers might be helpful or give pause to aggressive development programs until an interim solution is developed. Establish a neighborhood ombudsman that works with neighborhoods to solve livability problems. I’d like to see more emphasis on livable neighborhoods, more consideration for incompatibility of conflicting land uses Improve neighborhood safety, particularly near Cal Poly and near Madonna Rd. Reduce the number of homeless people in the neighborhoods. Reduce speed bumps and unnecessary roundabouts, as well as ineƯicient and unsafe bike lanes and paths. Continue to support historic structures in the downtown and the rest of the city for the livability of the neighborhood. Specifically the La Loma Adobe and surrounding area because it is the the starting point of the Bowden Ranch open space. Historic & Cultural resources support healthy communities. Please support the restoration of historic buildings in San Luis particularly City-owned buildings Accelerate LUCE update In order to facilitate more housing and a stronger plan for the future of our community, the council should move the timeline up to begin the process of funding and supporting a General Plan Update, specifically the Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE). Move the LUCE part of the general plan to sooner rather than later. We can facilitate more housing that way. The times they are a changing. It’s time to update General Plan and LUCE. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 3 Housing Safety, AƯordability, and Neighborhood Livability Updating the Land Use and Circulation Element. Completion of Orcutt Area Specific Plan commitments, specifically the park Finish the park in Righetti Ranch so our children can walk to the park and don't have to drive Parks! Follow through with the construction and completion of Righetti Park so that entire neighborhood doesn’t have to get in their car and drive to a park! Please make the darn parks in righetti ranch! It’s full of young families that need a park! We’ve been waiting for years and our kids are getting older. Please make this a top priority! I need to emphasize that the goal is not to over regulate; in an attempt to get everything (aƯordable below market rate units, sustainability and DEI, new parks, union/local workers, new infrastructure - all good things) you're going to suppress the actual goal of more development. Less strings attached. An abundance of market rate units will help citizens more than a hand full of deed restricted aƯordable units. Don't include poison pills, just let people build! Improve lighting and sidewalks in the transition area from downtown to upper Monterey along Monterey st. Make the underpass feel like a gateway to the area rather than an obstacle to be avoided As a long-time resident of San Luis Obispo, I’m grateful for the City’s ongoing eƯorts to address housing challenges and support the diverse needs of our community. I’m writing to share some thoughts on how we can build on the good work already underway, especially as the City moves forward with the 2025-27 Financial Planning process. While I fully support the City’s current housing policies, such as the AƯordable Housing Fund and the ongoing Housing Element Update, I believe there are additional adjustments we can make to better address the evolving economic realities that many residents face. In particular, I’d like to highlight the gap that exists for families who earn just above the workforce housing thresholds but still find themselves struggling with housing costs. The economic pressures on families in San Luis Obispo are significant. As of December 2024, the median home price in the city of SLO was around $1.1 million, well above what most middle- income families can aƯord. Even households earning above the workforce housing thresholds often find homeownership unattainable under current market conditions. On top of that, many residents are burdened by student loan payments, childcare costs and the cost of basic food items (the price of a carton of eggs is currently above $6 dollars) which further limit their disposable income. For those of us already living in the city, high rents place additional financial strain, making it diƯicult to save for a down payment or transition to homeownership. These combined pressures are leaving many families in a tough spot...unable to qualify for aƯordable housing programs but also priced out of the private housing market. I believe there are several key steps we can take to address these challenges and make housing more accessible to a wider range of residents: 1. Use a City-Specific AMI: Currently, the City uses a regional Area Median Income (AMI) to determine workforce housing eligibility, which supports important demographics, such as commuters who work in SLO. However, the cost of living in the city is significantly higher than in surrounding areas. By adopting a City-specific AMI alongside the regional standard, we can better align workforce housing policies with the economic realities that current residents face, while also ensuring housing remains available for people who work here and wish to move to the city. 2. Adjust Workforce Housing Eligibility: I recommend expanding eligibility for workforce housing by considering critical household expenses like childcare, student loan debt, and high rent Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 4 Housing Safety, AƯordability, and Neighborhood Livability burdens when determining eligibility. This could open the door for more families who earn just above the current thresholds but still struggle with aƯordability. 3. Middle-Income Housing Set-Asides: New housing developments could reserve a percentage of units for families earning between 160% and 200% of the AMI. These families are often overlooked by current policies, yet they face significant barriers to homeownership due to high housing costs. 4. Shared-Equity Homeownership Programs: Partnering with developers to create shared-equity programs could also help. These programs would allow families to purchase homes with a lower upfront cost and share any future appreciation with the City when the home is resold. This model could make homeownership more attainable for families who are otherwise priced out. I would also encourage the City to conduct regular evaluations of its housing policies. Tracking metrics such as the percentage of cost-burdened households (those spending more than 30% of their income on housing) will help ensure that policies remain responsive to the actual needs of the community. I’m hopeful that these proposed adjustments can further strengthen the City’s eƯorts to make housing more accessible. San Luis Obispo is a unique and vibrant community, and we need bold, innovative policies to match. Thank you for considering these recommendations. Implement barriers to foreign corporations to prevent them from buying property and homes to stabilize housing costs and allow for local families to own homes. Invest in the Housing Team so that the City’s AƯordable Housing program can be run by the City itself with dedicated staƯ running it so that it does not have to be outsourced outside of our community. Knowing that 100+ units are slated to come to the Monterey St/California St intersection is petrifying. We already have horrendous traƯic in this area with SLO High, accidents on the grade, overflow from downtown. Adding this new community/facility is going to overload our town and overflow our streets. SLO City Council Members and oƯicials should get in their cars and drive around town during these busy times to get an idea of what the residents are dealing with. Move housing to the areas that can support it, don't suƯocate the already impacted areas. Having a 5 story tall building is also going to change the skyline significantly and give a whole new feel to the area. LITCH programs! Renewable energy assists on-site via HASLO & other partners (electric vehicle charging, solar panels, etc.) More apartments with bicycle use and storage as a theme. A car-free aƯordable apartment building! OƯering more low income housing options to maintain equity and productivity within the community. Please reinstate the process for formation of a parking district. Thank you! Prohibit REITs and LLCs from purchasing additional residential properties. Make them divest of existing properties over a ten year period. Re-designate SLO from rural to urban so the Medicare pay rate to doctors increases and the area becomes more attractive to retaining long-term health care professionals. We need to keep doctors in SLO and make more availability to the populace on a timely basis. The docs that are here have incredible wait lists. Reduce building fees and red tape. Stop forcing low income housing on everyone. The hard working people are tired of paying/subsidizing for other people’s housing. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 5 Housing Safety, AƯordability, and Neighborhood Livability Resume the program for residents to establish a parking district within a neighborhood. The repeal of residential occupancy standards has led to rampant abuse of single family R-1 zoned dwellings being converted into rental units housing more people than what the home was originally intended to (single family units). This has created parking congestion filling driveways, streets, and cul de sacs with vehicles creating at worst a lack of access for emergency vehicles. SLO need more aƯordable housing. I see many empty lots around town and would Like to see more homes built on those infill lots. Street trees! Inexpensive way to enhance livability, lower temperatures and pump oxygen into the atmosphere. What you guys did to the Angola neighborhood with its protected by lanes has made that area unlivable. Please stop ruining San Luis Obispo with such infrastructure ideas. While I do not know how much communication is possible between the city and state governments, if the state government could reduce or eliminate the requirement for the CSU system to continue increasing enrollment each year, it would reduce the burden on Cal Poly to continue increasing enrollment and reduce the number of new students each year, lowering the future demand for housing in the SLO area. If a developer chooses to make a 2 bedroom home and add a 3 bedroom ADU on a corner with no parking and then decides to do it again with an adjoining house shouldn’t there be some kind of parking requirement? For livability please do not build anymore. Instead can we work on restoring the building we already have? Making the most out of each lot. TraƯic has doubled since all of the new housing has been put in. Please keep SLO, SLO.

Address zoning across the entire city to allow for high or medium density housing. Build 10x as many homes as we've been building. Build them in places that people want to live, i.e., not out in the boonies, under the airport flight path. Downtown needs to become more dense. I would like to see the construction of denser housing and redevelopment in and near our city core I’d like the city to continue its policy of supporting a downtown with mixed housings. We need more small aƯordable units. Prioritize the change in zoning to allow for more medium density and high density development throughout the city. Prioritize the construction of medium-to-high density housing such as apartment complexes and mixed-use developments with an emphasis on below-market-rate developments and walkability to ease costs of living. Review & update uniform design guidelines to allow for more housing production to occur Simplify zoning to allow more homes and a greater variety of homes that meet our community need Upzoning initiatives Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 7 Climate Action and Open Space Continue investment in bike only rite of ways. Install and finish bike path along Bullock Ln & Righetti Ranch Rd. Adding more bike specific trails and more shared trails. Quercus trail is a perfect example of what the City Ranger can make, more trail like this one would be great. Continue to develop Mountain Bike Park in the Laguna Lake area. Continue to increase the diversity and breadth of our current trail system to provide opportunities for all user groups to enjoy our beautiful open spaces. Including continuing the development of Laguna Lake bike park! Create and maintain more beginner-friendly, purpose-built mountain bike trails, and improving diversity in diƯiculty of trails in SLO (development of expert trails and beginner trails). Develop a bike trail along Hwy 101 connecting the City through Cuesta Park with the trail head of Miossi Open Space and Stage Coach Rd, eliminating biking on Hwy 101 and eliminating the need of cars. Mountain biking and spending time outside are very important to me. I would love to see new trails and more trail maintenance in the area. To help San Luis Obispo achieve its priorities of Climate Action and Open Space, I propose advocating for the development of more beginner-friendly mountain bike trails. These trails would not only make outdoor recreation more inclusive, but foster more growth in the sport for youth riders. Truly protected bike paths. Most are too scared to ride bikes in SLO. + A protected walking/bike path along Tank Farm connecting the two parts of the city in a safer way. We need more bike trails and increased maintenance of bike trails in our open space! This area is growing in mountain biking and the trails could be better maintained and there’s room for even more to help keep biker/hiker conflicts down. Continue to support cultural burns with yak tityu tityu yak tilhini Expanding capacity for prescribed burns, using native plants in landscaping for pollinator habitat away from roads (the new planter boxes on chorro are attracting pollinators into streets and getting hit. Maybe relocate those plants and replant with non-blooming species on roads—it’s a great start though!). Creating a central meeting space in disaster situations with extra supplies would be great. Also being vocal in support of the agricultural community while they are at risk of deportation. Supporting carbon sequestration projects at parts, open spaces, and encouraging drought tolerant pollinator habitat residential landscaping. Thank you! Disaster preparedness should be a work program for Climate resilience Make sure our residences and our open spaces are resistant to wildfires, since wildfires release large amounts of carbon dioxide. Give financial incentives to help people retrofit their homes to make them more fire-resistant. Natural Disaster preparedness Planning and proper funding to prevent and handle future wildfires. The Climate has changed. It will continue to change. We should be prepared for the changes. The city should be prepared for natural disasters to the best of its ability and within its budget. We as a city cannot make changes that will impact the climate in any significant way when considering the global forces and foreign countries actions involved. If any money is spent to eƯect a positive change in the climate, it should be voluntary contributions to eƯective non profits that are making more significant changes. Such as Carbon Credit. Please see this link from the former transportation manager of the city of Santa Barbara Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 8 Climate Action and Open Space https://vimeo.com/911638304 Way more eƯective use of funds. Engage the business community in a campaign to install EV chargers at workplaces, retail shopping centers, and other places where people spend a few hours during the day. OƯer expedited permitting services for the installations and information on incentives and other resources. Balance conservation with access! Expanding our open spaces without providing expanded trails (ideally user specific) does little to improve overall enjoyment of our open spaces. Historic & Cultural resources support energy conservation & outdoor activities. Please support the restoration of historic buildings in San Luis particularly City-owned buildings The City should continue to prioritize historical structures, including the La Loma Adobe and surrounding open space. This structure was recently dated to the Mission Period and the surrounding area leads to the Bowden Ranch Open Space. It is an important landmark in our community plus there is a city bus stop three blocks away. BETTER PUBLIC TRANSIT!!!!!!! I would take the bus if it were free. I am low-income and that would be an incentive to give my car and all the costs and pollution associated with it. Also, the ebike incentive promoted by CA for low income residents was a disaster: logged on precisely at the opening online with all qualifying paperwork, digitally put on hold and told to wait, waited online for an hour, then told that the process was closed. PRE-QUALIFY APPLICANTS AHEAD OF TIME, then hold a lottery. Improve mass transit with more routes and electric busses Increase SLO Transit frequency to and from Cal Poly, especially on nights and weekends to deter drunk driving and promote sustainability and reduce traƯic. We desperately need more and better mass transportation for the areas outside of downtown to make it a viable alternative for working families who don’t have access or means to bike. Incentives as strongly as possible apartment landlords to add solar, replace gas appliances with electric, and provide on site charging options. Provide assistance/advice/incentives for renting residents who would like to upgrade the sustainability of their rented homes. (It doesn't make sense for me to add solar to my apartment or improve its insulation.) Replacing the gas guzzling furnace at the Sinsheimer pool should be done as soon as possible!! Work to develop and promote residential green infrastructure projects (curb cuts, etc.) to help manage stormwater runoƯ and collect rainwater. Retrofit old neighborhoods and integrate into new developments. A few years ago you received some grants and put in the budget to dredge Laguna Lake once a year. You did it once for a few hours and never again. The city must realize that the lake and the park are its largest asset and you are letting it go to waste. Before you spend money on trees etc. fix the problem that has been building for many years. Continue dredging and maintenance of Laguna Lake Continue with periodic sediment removal from laguna lake. Improve this important city asset. Set up a carbon sequestration project by removing tuliees and taking them to the biodigestor. Allow 70 + year old e bikers to use trails Dredge Laguna Lake and eliminate many of the east side reeds giving more access and usage possibilities Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 9 Climate Action and Open Space Dredge Laguna Lake! This will reduce flooding and provide for a healthier eco system for his much loved park. Dredge Laguna Lake, you are 40 years overdue. That whole area could be a wonderland but it hardly used. Improve the lousy launch ramp. And when you dredge make a bunch of islands. Pretty to look at, sail to and a refuge for various birds and habitat. What is the holdup? Quit wasting money on idiotic and hardly used concrete bicycle thingies and spend our money on us. Dredge Lagunas Lake and make it more accessible Go back to the commitments to the residents to keep funding the lake dredging.The city needs to stop spending money to acquire more assets and start maintaining the ones you have. I live on the lake for 25 years and you keep making my area more over grown every year. The city made a commitment to use to perform a yearly dredging plan with dedicated funds and now your reneging on that commitment. Take care of what you have K Kidwell Increase the priority of the Laguna Lake Dredging Program Keeping Laguna Lake a healthy environment for fish, birds etc. and a place for people to enjoy by continuing the dredging program. Laguna Lake and the surrounding area are valuable resources for citizens of the City and County. Dredging the lake should be a top priority. Not maintaining the lake would be negligent. Laguna Lake Deredging Maintain valuable city recreation resources. Make dredging Lagua lake a priority Please continue to push forward on dredging Laguna Lake. I have lived on the lake my entire life, 1216 Mariners Cove, and I've see the slow migration to mud and stagnant water, and we need the lake to maintain healthy oxygen levels. Dredging is a great option of creating a robust future for the lake and all its inhabitants. Please dredge Laguna Lake before it becomes a sea of tules. The lake used to be a wonderful recreational lake for fishing, boating, windsurfing and sailing. The lake provides a wonderful wild life habitat for animals and birds. It is also a beautiful lake for SLO. Now it is shallow and the tules are taking over. Please take care of our cities beautiful lake. Please prioritize the Laguna Lake Dredging Program! Thank you. Take care of Laguna Lake. It is a jewel in our town and should be maintained for future generations. Why was not preserving laguna lake a option. It had funds allocated in the previous budgeting process. Clear out dead brush. Fuels management plan Maintain open spaces Please make open space more accessible. Make trails less steep so they are easier for older people/ people with bad knees and other disabilities. Also make sure all trail gates and bollards are wide enough for obese/pregnant people to fit through. Add more parking at trailheads. Prioritize the maintenance and development of hiking/biking trails in city open spaces Prioritizing grazing programs where appropriate as part of the fuels management plan Love 10 tall!

Make sure they are still truly open and that they have not been blocked by fencing. Bressi Ranch corridor from Broad Street looks blocked. Please check! City of Davis early on became known as a bike friendly city. It made the city a desirable place to live. I would love to see SLO become the climate forward city and have that make SLO tops as a desirable place to live and visit Climate Action must remain a major city goal. Even if it has become a core service, the threats are growing every day! We just passed the 1.5 degree temp rise threshold, Los Angeles is burning, and here we have 2023 storm response funding to recoup. Status quo isn’t enough for our community’s protection from the disastrous eƯects of climate change. With the national stage reversing any gains in climate resiliency, it is more important than ever for climate action to head the city’s major city goals. Concerned that the Plastic Straw Ordinance that the City passed in 2018 has not been enforced. Businesses don't know about it, or ignore it. Business buyb oxes of them, they are used, discarded, end up as trash and litter; can't be recycled, become trash. For pennies more, compostable plant-based straws are readily available through many sources. Second, concerned that the State passed AB 1276 - Single Use Plastic Utensils & Condiments; became enforceable Jan 1, 2020. The City ignores this Bill and I want to know why? Every fastfood restaurant uses plastic cutlery, they are littered or trash disposed, especially at Farmers Market. City needs to amend the Polystyrene Ordinance to eliminate EPS meat trays. Most of the grocery stores continue to use Foam meat trays, with exception to a few like Trader Joe's. Frustrated that the City passes the enforcement on to IWMA, but IWMA has NO teeth and can't do anything, with the excuse that the IWMA Board says they don't have an enforcement person or ability to hand out warning or even education. It is very frustrating, that 8 years later I'm told, we can only do something on a complaint basis. If I address one restaurant in the Public Market, every restaurant should be approached. It is not the citizens' position to do this. Businesses are on the defense, and ask "who do I work for."? Well the story and solutions are not over... Janine Rands 8057040148, j9rands@gmail.com Convene a biweekly clean energy forum for one year to discuss how SLO city might be able to be a leader in central California’s for generating clean energy and create strategies for action on the recommendations. Continue to enhance bike paths that have some division from the roadway. Perhaps investigate whether it would be possible to allow local only/ bike traƯic (including e- bikes) on certain roads during commute times to enhance the biking experience and enforce the rules. Close oƯ streets downtown during shopping times to pedestrians and bikes (work with the shops for delivery). Work more closely with cal poly to get more housing quickly for students on campus to reduce student trips on and oƯ campus and to encourage more telecommuting from employees who are not required to be on campus— cal poly can generate up to 8000 car trips per day! . Work harder to get big employers to use e-bikes. Replace parking spaces with free bike boxes. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 11 Climate Action and Open Space Everything and anything the city can do to reduce CO2 release and burning of fossil fuels is a priority. Eviction is not carbon-neutral, especially when folks are forced to live in their cars (or worse). And especially when the smaller, older, more aƯordable housing stock is then demolished to make way for market rate condos. Get back to basic needs. Reduce crime. Fix infrastructure. Stay in you lane Give priority to bike crossings, such at intersection of Orcutt Rd & Bullock Ln I think it is important to remember that while an admirable goal, the city is less than a drop in the ocean when it comes to addressing climate change. The city as an institution is comparatively powerless in that sphere, but is overwhelmingfully powerful in spheres of local policy such as housing, infrastructure, utilities, transportation, etc. I think the city should focus on climate action less as a discrete goal, but rather as positive externality from achieving other major city goals. For example the city shouldn't focus on a goal of CO2 reduction, it should instead focus on building more housing and encouraging active transit - policies within the cities domain, that if successfully accomplished will just so happen too be better for the environment. I would like to see the city Set up a program asking citizens to not drive on certain days of the week to help mitigate Greenhouse gas emissions. We really want to be serious about mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.Then we need to come up with tougher plans. I would also like to see more education on the realities of the climate crises to increase collaboration with organizations in the forefront Incentivize biking and walking Invest in indigenous and YTT-led eƯorts to steward public lands. Prioritize sustainable building improvements for low income housing. Foster school-based climate initiatives to engage families through public education. Keeping people housed with increased Tenant Protections avoids the climatic impact of homelessness. Make driving less convenient (and figure out how to sell that), active transportation more so and super attractive. Have courage. I support you. Maybe research some way to rehabilitate the Tank Farm area? It seems like a huge dead zone that could be used for animals/open space if it were restored OƯicially support Class 1 pedal assist e-bikes on all public paths, Open Space, including Pismo Preserve!! Prefumo creek restoration trail oƯ of Calle Joaquin would be great to see some funds invested for education and maintenance .

Address tobacco waste by banning single use disposable vapes and cigarette filters. These are the most commonly found liter in beaches, parks, and contain hazardous chemicals. Force tobacco retailers to pay for the proper disposal of confiscated vapes and drug accessories which cost the schools and counties lots of money to properly dispose of. Connect open spaces with bike paths and keep adding more trails.

Provide incentives for climate resilient rental properties that do not displace tenants Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 13 Homelessness Response Work with the county to develop homeless housing behind Cuesta College near the California conservation core area. There is bus service that goes out there so that people can use transportation to and from that location to other services, either Morro Bay or San Luis Obispo. That area has all the infrastructure needed for revamping the buildings out there for housing needs. They have water, electricity and perhaps natural gas as well. They have lots of open space for farming and growing vegetables and having a really grass roots, healthy living option. It would sort of be a cooperative where everyone participated.. Develop the adjacent parcel next to 40 Prado rd as a multi use homeless site You can buy the drive in movie area and a lot of homeless can stay there, bathrooms portable showers it is gated, and vehicles can stay there also, have guards for safety. Don’t put homeless apartments in neighborhoods put them in the country. Stop incentivizing people to be homeless. Improve our mental health programs where transients can get the mental help and drug addiction treatments that they need. Remove mentally ill and drug users from the street and hospitalize or arrest those violating drug use laws. Create a program/funds to relocate homeless individuals back with their own family/community. Research shows homeless and drug addicted individuals do better with family support structure. Spend funds to help reconnect and send individuals back to their own communities. Ventura started a program where any contact with police or fire the individual is asked if they live in the area and would like assistance getting home. If they say yes a trained team works to relocate the individual. Housing first model is expensive and commits the City to funding housing in perpetuity when it is already struggling to remain fiscally viable. Pls take measures to reduce homelessness by providing drug rehab programs and move away from housing first model Remove dei manager and pay additional street crew to cleanup future safe parking areas and other streets where homeless people camp and trash More communication w/community to provide updates on status of programs - seems like there has been very little change in spite of the time & eƯorts that have been invested - Universal Basic Income with mandatory mental health and substance abuse counseling/treatment. There are three components to reducing. homelessness: housing, behavioral health services, and law enforcement. Housing needs to be more aƯordable, and the only proven method is through private development, lots of it. There is space for aƯordable housing units, vouchers, temporary units and shelters, but long term the solution is scale. Build more housing, ideally dense mixed use, but even expensive housing has the eƯect of lowering regional housing prices which will help homelessness. Mental health services and Drug and Alcohol services are County and State prerogatives, there is little the city can do other than provide as much assistance as possible to regional partners. Law enforcement is something that is necessary to deal with antisocial behavior, it is also something within the city's jurisdiction. Disorder can be reduced by active police engagement, ideally with CATs and other services being made available first, but for those who refuse all services while intefracting on the law should be cited and arrested. Any unhoused person who receives shelter, showers, food, etc. should be required to be drug tested and be in counseling. I do not have a solution, but the amount of drugged out homeless people outside of stores and on sidewalks and streets around the city and near my neighborhood is ridiculous. My kids are used to seeing it at this point. It’s insane to get a ticket for not fully stopping at a stop sign, but it’s ok to do meth in front of CVS on Madonna. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 14 Homelessness Response Let homeless people sleep in their cars and in city parks. 1. Publicly admit that homelessness is an inevitable result of a society built upon greed, war, and the insane belief in private property, (not personal property, for those of you who don't know the diƯerence and are gonna have a fit). Or do we just continue to ignore that some dead King claimed all the land and started gifting it to the rapacious maniacs who murdered oƯ the locals and also thought slavery was good business? 2. Provide ongoing trash service instead of waiting for things to get out of hand and then doing sweeps and such. The city of Atlanta recently crushed a sleeping man to death with a tractor. Sort of thing the ALL LIVES MATTER crowd should be upset about, but we all know aren't. We need more public restrooms at every park, including Emerson on Nipomo Street. They will last longer if they have sturdy steel commodes and steel sinks. Public restrooms require extra maintenance and cleaning. Could we have people who have community service hours maintain them? Safe parking with tents allowed, not just cars. Quit enabling criminals and drug addiction Stop doing ineƯective nonsense like adding boulders and fences next to the Bob Jones Trail near Prado Road, forcing the houseless population to hang out on the bike path itself. This "mitigation" was ill-conceived and ultimately detrimental. They need homes, not hostility. Focus on relocation solutions for individuals experiencing homelessness in densely populated areas, such as downtown SLO. Adjust policy to allow for more home choices near jobs, transit, schools, and local businesses. Make sure we have enough homes for people. Eliminate anti-homeless infrastructure SLO is expensive. Spend homeless money in other cities or in the county to make the dollar go further. Provide opportunity for gardening and growing crops to residence at the new center on Kia Joaquin using land that can be made available at city Farm Slow two support Perfumo Creek restoration and enhancement project continuation to provide connectivity between city farm Slow and the Cuquin apartments and provide programs of training and employment for residence to develop and maintain that trail Learn from the Safe Parking lot and reimplement it at the railroad station, do not rotate it near our schools and neighborhoods. Keep it consistent and at the railroad station with new rules and regulations based on what happened in the past when it was there. The best way to prevent homelessness is to keep people who are already housed in their homes. But skyrocketing rents and corporate exploitation are forcing people out of their homes. We need to lower the current cap in AB 1482 on annual rent increases to 5% or less and incorporate the AB 1482 “just cause” provisions for eviction into the SLO Municipal Code; remove the 2030 sunset date contained in state law; require 90 days’ notice to terminate a lease; make protections eƯective upon occupancy, not after 12 months; and extend coverage to all single family homes.

Increase Tenant Protections and Eviction Protections to keep people housed. Can we more rigorously enforce the laws on the homeless population. It has become such a blight on our beautiful community. I am tired of seeing the loitering, defecating, littering and overall lack of respect to our public places. I feel a zero tolerance policing policy makes the most common sense to limit the growth of what seems to be a growing homeless population. It’s become a major public safety concern. Homeless populations need to be given ultimatums to either follow rules in a shelter and make moves towards getting employment or to leave town or to be arrested for loitering. Police need more liberties to remove these people from public areas. Police force needs to be used when they are being belligerent and rude to passersby. Crack down on the homeless.

Having translators means nothing if non - English speaking individuals arent in attendance. City forums and outreach continues to be for the same people time and time again. Its time we look through a new lens at how to engage. There needs to be true focus on engaging our non-English speaking, low-income, families. Specifically low income housing areas. StaƯ need to show up and connect to educate to opportunities. Improving resources for marginalized and underserved communities to participate in priority setting/council meetings by providing child care, stipends, food, etc. More education, training, “buy-in” from city employees. More outreach to community. A plan for sustainable City support is essential. Please plan for continued funding. DEI eƯorts have been shown to increase creativity, productivity, and innovation. Please fund these eƯorts for the benefit of all In the immediate national reality, it is crucial that the city retain DEI as a major city goal. Increase the dedicated resources and attention to DEI initiatives, ensuring they are prioritized and not overshadowed by other administrative functions. There is a lot of talk about the commitment to DEI, but implementation has been slow. It will be very important during these next 4 years to support and continue our DEI program. Please continue the work. We need DEI in SLO now more than ever! Arts and culture encourages diversity and inclusion. Culture and art welcome all. Continue to support the Cultural Arts District and all of our cultural institutions. Thank you!! please include cultural arts district in the city goals. Supporting the arts makes for a vibrant downtown. Thank you Prioritize funding for sloma Support public art by diverse populations Create initiatives that provide access to cultural arts by under represented residents Invest in public art by diverse populations. Get rid of DEI. Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. Merit wins all Pls dissolve DEI measures Reduce diversity, equity, and inclusion training and policies. Reduce funding for DEI trainings and programs. Cut DEI hires who are not meriting their position. Cut all DEI enforcement positions. Stop all DEI programs. Why would we want to only focus on attracting minority owned businesses? For example, if I only wanted Latino own businesses, I would just move to Santa Maria. I don’t think anybody wants San Luis Obispo to become Santa Maria. As I grew up there and went to Miller Street school and Santa Maria high school. Would urge you to drop DEI as a major city goal. In the most recent city survey, DEI only ranked as tenth most important. DEI has been found to be less than helpful in getting the best person into important roles as evidenced in the Los Angeles fire response. The Federal government and many large corporations are abandoning their DEI initiatives. SLO does not have to be “cutting edge” on issues like this and climate change. The survey indicates that tho populace has other items that they find to be more important to have their money spent on. Restore the La Loma Adobe on Lizzie Street Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 17 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion San Luis Obispo has a long and diverse history. As citizens, we want to make sure our historic structures are preserved for future generations. The La Loma Adobe and surrounding are is one of those important resources. This adobe has recently been dated to the mission era. It s one piece of the puzzle of our diverse and inclusive history. Encourage low cost housing projects to support historically marginalized and economically disadvantaged populations Healthier multi unit housing Increase options for a variety of quality, aƯordable homes near jobs, school, businesses, etc. DEI should be a cultural paradigm in our city as opposed to a program which costs hundred of thousands of city budget dollars. If we need to - consider trade oƯs against critical needs like safety or emergency response - this should be an area that can be traded out. I am happy with the city's current DEI initiatives, but frankly I worry that "DEI" has been somewhat poisoned in national discourse. I believe the city could save itself headache and wildly unproductive public comment by reframing DEI less as a major goal, but rather as an internal culture and way of doing business. Talk less, do more. It has been absorbed as a core service and does not needyo be a major city goal Conduct know your rights trainings. Encourage action to support SLO being a sanctuary city. Change policies through consultants to remove implicit bias. Support the initiatives of staƯ of color. Create targeted universal retention practices and provide employees mental health supports to cope with the stresses of being in predominantly white spaces. Confirm and aƯirm City of SLO land acknowledgement recognizing yak titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini as the homeland Tribe DEI is dead Explore the feasibility of a vacancy tax to address all the empty space in downtown; this ties to many other goals of the city, such as DEI business opportunities, creative, collaborations between nonprofits, and the public/private sector, arts and culture in our downtown. Give resources to Pacific Beach High School for student transportation Improve city understanding and competency of DE&I so DEI staƯ doesn’t have to spent their time working internally and can spend more time and energy in prioritizing needs of underserved & marginalized communities Launch a Public Campaign to Show FACES of SLO: banners on downtown poles, flyers, etc. with BIPOC and culturally inclusive faces that are white, brown, black, asian, etc. "WE are SLO" campaign like the "Black is Beautiful" campaign of the 70s. The campaign would rectify the problem of easy invisibility and disenfranchisement: i.e., "If we don't see it, we don't acknowledge. If we don't acknowledge it, we don't believe it. If we don't believe it, we disregard it. If we disregard, we may denigrate. Denigration leads to dehumanization." Resist book banning in our schools and libraries Support for agricultural workers in extreme weather events —when they are out of work, exhausted, and at risk from ICE detention. To help the City prioritize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, I would suggest providing more Halal food and shopping options for the Muslim community in San Luis Obispo. Additionally, it’s important to educate the broader community about the diverse identities that make up America. People who wear the hijab are Americans, and they come from various backgrounds, whether Middle Eastern or otherwise. Wearing a hijab doesn’t make them any less American, nor does it make them “illegal” or somehow less professional. We need to move past stereotypes and Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 18 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ensure that everyone feels welcome and respected in our community, regardless of appearance or background. To the person suggesting merit only programs. Merit is often a function of inequal access (to programs, education, you name it), which is why DEI measures are important: they allow merit to be developed! We don’t and should not discriminate based on anything but merit. If we have a surplus in the budget after funding essential services, water, sewer, police, fire, parks, retirement liabilities, roads, infrastructure, the arts, capital improvements without supplemental, or other taxes, then maybe we should spend money on DEI. More eƯectively integrate equitable practices into all city policies, ensuring that diversity and inclusion are considered in every decision-making process. Becoming a sanctuary city so immigrants and refugees feel safe and welcome here Better tenant protections so that our city continues to grow in diversity vs. who can a Ưord to live / work here (majority white, middle to upper class folx) Protecting our Immigrant, LGBTQ+ communities with increased Tenant and Eviction Protections means our most vulnerable have access to basic needs of housing with safe, aƯordable and secure housing. This level of protection is needed when we know HUD will be engaging in discriminatory and hateful practices. Renter inequities disproportionately aƯect women, minorities, migrants, and other undeserved communities. Controlling skyrocketing rents, preventing no-fault evictions, and modernizing health and safety requirements is a major DEI issue. Make renter protections a Major City Goal. Support tenants rights and aƯordable housing initiatives Tenant protections often the bipoc community and undocumented residents don't know the rights and get taken advantage.Making sure the city has a policy for tenant protections and enforcement will help retain diversity of housing Tenant protections will protect marginalized communities and keep predatory landlords from taking advantage of our community members.

Support the SLO Art museum to continue doing all the great work they do making this a great place to live and visit. Let’s pass some ordinances for how long a building may remain empty downtown. Our small, local entrepreneurs are being driven away by skyrocketing commercial rents, while many thousands of sqf of commercial space sit empty. Vacancy fees on empty commercial properties would encourage commercial landlords to fill their buildings while generating revenue for the city. If that doesn't work, buildings that have been empty for extended periods should be declared blight, taken by eminent domain, and converted to social housing. Converting empty buildings downtown to rent-controlled housing for our service workers would add tremendously to downtown vitality.

Please invest in an art district. Thank you! Art encourages community involvement to enrich our surroundings. Art is a radical act of optimism. Keep the arts downtown. Stop oppressing optimism. Arts are the cultural background for building an enlightened community. Arts not included? What? The Council has already invested so much blood, sweat and tears to create the 80% of the Cultural Arts District that already exists, why wouldn't support for the CAD be a major bullet point in the 25-27 Major City Goals. Council, you've always taken the long view for our City, continue to make the arts a priority for SLO. As a local paintings conservator, preserving access to the arts and supporting local artists is central to my work and our community’s cultural vitality. Please include the Cultural Arts District in Major City Goals to ensure continued opportunities for creativity, connection, and economic growth in SLO. Be sure to include funding to support a vital Arts scene. Do not change your mind on this since arts organisations make long-term plans based on this support. You well know the financial contributions the arts have on the City. Do you want a cultural desert or an enhanced community ? The City's focus on open space is to be lauded. But there is too much open space right now -- in downtown. OK, poor joke, perhaps, but please be creative about what you can do to incentivize landlords to lease those big empty spaces. And make it easy for start-ups and/or new uses of those large open (empty) retail spaces to get filled and used. Try to streamline the regulatory hurdles so new creative uses for those spaces can be tried. Let's not let perfect be the enemy of good. City support and engagement in promoting the Arts is essential to oƯering a well rounded community ambience and experience. People connect with others in the community when they attend a a live performance of music or theater. Arts are driven by our emotions and passions. We attended last nights presentation and then walked the Farmers Market for the first time in years. We stopped and listened to 3 diƯerent musical groups playing on the side streets. That music kept us at the Market and then we bought beverage, pizza and cookies because we stayed longer than anticipated to hear the music. If the City were a person's body, Art presentation and performance would be the heartbeat. Vacancy tax on all retail/commercial spaces closed for greater than 6 months.

"Travel and tourism is part of the economic lifeblood of the region. It impacts almost every sector, lodging, restaurants, attractions, retail, everything funnels through that and creates this benefit to SLO CAL residents."

Presently, the main draw of the area is its restaurants, always a volatile business especially in times of economic downturns. A Cultural Arts District, however, is a solid long term investment that adds another dimension to the city, one that can survive through boom and bust. DO NOT FORGET ART, MUSIC, THEATER.

An important part of thriving is economic vitality that feeds the soul and brings people together. Hello SLO City Council I strongly feel that a vibrant arts scene is essential to a healthy community. A thriving Cultural Arts District will deliver significant economic impact and contribute to social well-being . Art after Dark is a wonderful example for people gathering on Friday nights in downtown , socializing and learning about the local artists and diƯerent venues where the exhibits are shown. I am a local (Avila Beach) artist myself and participated in the Art After Dark event a few times. It attracted a lot of my friends to visit downtown, go for dinner, strolling through our beautiful town and shopping at our local shops. Please support the artists and the businesses in downtown in the future.

Hopefully more attention will be given to expanding the arts in our community. With the beautiful facility of the PAC @ Cal Poly and the new SLO REP theater, our town should be ready to compete with the best of the best. Without adequate funding this cannot happen How is there no "ARTS" room in this community forum? The mind boggles. The Cultural Arts District (including SLOMA, History Center, Children's Museum and SLO REP) will be key to ensuring a robust downtown that teems with energy and economic activity.

The arts play an important role as a connective tissue in building the kind of community we want San Luis Obispo to be. Please consider the importance of the Cultural Arts Center to SLO's future! Kind regards. I am in favor of the proposed "Arts District," which would include the SLO Art Museum and the to - be-built SLO REP Theatre. Along with the existing Children's Museum and the historical Mission and its Plaza, this downtown "Arts District" will add to the allure of our downtown and increase business for local restaurants and hotels! Funding more clean-up services - power washing the sidewalks on a regular basis and addressing debris and homeless challenges I ask that the City Council include support for the Cultural Arts District as one of the Major City Goals. The City has already invested money in the Arts and in the Cultural Arts District in a major way through the new parking structure now under construction. Protect your (our) investment by specifically listing Support for the Cultural Arts District as a Major City goal. Thank you. John Ozanich I believe it is essential to support the cultural arts district in our major city goals. Art unites people from all over SLO, makes cities thrive, and by investing in art, we promote community and enrich our cities from the heart! Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 26 Downtown Vitality and Economic Development I believe it is important for our downtown to have a thriving arts scene. I feel that it contributes not only to our local economy but also for bringing our community together. Get rid of paid parking. It’s not productive to business. It is just another form of taxation to pay bloated city salaries I encourage the SLO CIty Council to include funding for the Cultural Arts District in your Major City Goals. Although I live in Oakland, I visit the SLOMA museum whenever I'm in town, as well as other art venues. It is one of the attractions for me as a visitor to your lovely town.

And the arts help to foster the kind of community we want for San Luis Obispo. I kindly ask that the council supports the Cultural Arts District in their Major City Goals. The arts are essential for the future success of our youth, and the healthy well being of our community. Thank you! I am saddened by the loss of parklets in downtown SLO. I am unsure if it is fair, but I blame the city for imposing regulatory burdens and financial costs on businesses that resulted in eƯiciently used business space to be reconverted back to extremely ineƯicient on street parking. If I had a magic wand I would pedestrianize Higuera allowing outdoor shopping and eating outside of every Business place - parklets are compromise between that dream an existing traƯic circulation. Apparently I believe the downtown should be allowed to grow upwards and for there to be businesses allowed on higher levels (as well as liberalized signage regulations) I respectfully request that the Council please add the arts as part of it major city goals .The unique are in SLO is part of its diversity. Thank you I see that the Cultural Arts District has not been included in the 2025 -2027 Major City Goals. I am dismayed that such an important part of any dynamic city's life is not being given the priority it deserves. As a tourist destination, as the home of intelligent, sophisticated residents, SLO must have a vibrant cultural scene. Please reconsider this omission. I did not feel like the shop local program in December was fair and catered to the same audiences. In years past, they honored both retail and restaurants. In 2024 they only honored retail but were still oƯering restaurants gift cards. Our form of holiday celebration is spending time with family at restaurants, having togetherness. This no longer is an "acceptable" way to support local, so if they do not accept these receipts, they shouldn't be giving them out either. Retail should support retail. I lost support for the program when they would no longer honor something they had done in the past. Restaurant month is completely diƯerent and should play by its own rules. I strongly recommend the City's support for the arts in our community and continue supporting the development of the Arts and Cultural Art District. The arts not only enrich our community and bring people together, they encourage new visitors (locally, statewide and nationally), who support the downtown restaurants and retail businesses. Additionally, it makes our community a more inviting place to live, work, raise families and retire. I can hardly think of a more important place to use our tax dollars to get an ongoing return on investment. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 27 Downtown Vitality and Economic Development I think developing and supporting the arts district is critical to our city. It provides a public space to connect and exchange ideas and cultural enrichment in addition to providing tourism. I think it is vital to support the development of the downtown cultural arts center! As brick and mortar stores struggle, the cultural arts center will bring additional activity to downtown and contribute to a thriving downtown population I think it’s important to specifically call out the cultural arts district as this can be the unifying force for a lot of downtown economic development I understand that SLO Repertory Theater was not listed as a place to support. It would be terrible if they lost any help they may get from the city. It is such a wonderful venue and an important asset to the city. You know how small it is so ticket sales could never provide enough revenue. Please keep the theater included in the city’s priority for development. Thank you very much for your attention to,this matter. Joy Tuman I urge support for the downtown community and cultural arts district. I'm surprised that it is not on your list considering all of the recent changes to the infrastructure of that neighborhood.

I have worked in tandem with SLO city in my previous job for over 5 years. Given my experience with talking to locals, new residents, and thousands of tourists, part of what attracts people to visit/spend money in SLO, is due to funding the Cultural Arts District.

It is San Luis Obispo at its best. Please support this important piece of our community. I was asked to voice my opinion on supporting the arts in Downtown SLO. I do believe it is important. That said, I find downtown to be very depressing due to the unhoused and sick people hanging out. The sidewalks are dirty and the trees need pruning. Some stores have been empty for over nine years? Why is that?I used to really enjoy downtown SLO and found it charming. Today I avoid it at all costs. I would like the Council to continue to reiterate the importance of supporting cultural arts in the downtown--with the fading of retail, cultural experiences (along with food & drink) become paramount for attracting locals and visitors alike. And the arts nurture our souls during bad times no matter what. Whether it's the Art Museum, SLO Rep, Children's Museum or other more diverse cultural activities, it's vital that the City strongly expresses the importance of the cultural arts for our community by including funding for the continued development of the Cultural Arts district and activities.

The work done at this point has made the community a vital and thriving cultural hub that needs to be sustained in order to be a diverse and welcoming community.

Personally, I think a thriving Cultural Arts District will deliver significant economic impact and contribute to social well-being. I know my wife and I enjoy public art and activities on our date nights to SLO. It makes for a thriving and exciting downtown and keeps us on the lookout for novel art and performance. It’s also a great way to exist side by side with construction and retail vacancy when we see a “pop” of art. I’m wondering why developing the Arts is not part of the plan. Going to SLO Rep is one of many reasons we go downtown. · A thriving Cultural Arts District will deliver significant economic impact and contribute to social well-being. · Thriving downtowns generally have an array of arts oƯerings driving economic vitality.

And bring in visitors and locals who will then frequent other stores and restaurants. A vibrant arts scene is essential to a healthy and interesting community. I love our downtown, but the parking situation isn’t ideal sometimes. I know there’s no perfect solution. I’d like to see more places to congregate. I live near downtown but sometimes it’s not worth the hassle to drive there/find parking if only to grab a quick bite or do a take-out. Let’s make going to downtown as a destination and then having a meal there secondary. In addition to beautiful nature, as a city, we need to cultivate an environment for visual and performing arts for the locals as well as to show the visitors that SLO is rich in multiple dimensions. In all the various categories listed, it is surprising there’s no mention of arts & culture. This is vital to successful communities.

And continuing to support the PAC on Cal Poly’s campus is important as well, thank you. In order for SLO's downtown to remain vital and thriving, it MUST have strong culture and arts programming.

I urge the council to add expanding the Cultural Arts District to our Major City Goals for 2025-2027. Include Cultural Vitality. Improve the cultural corridor and cultural events in the downtown. I see the swarm of comments on the so-called cultural arts district and feel compelled to observe that the taxpayers of the City have already invested many millions of dollars with little to show for it. I suppose we'll have another parking garage eventually--a mixed blessing to be sure. Perhaps it's time to hit pause on those investments while we redirect our scarce resources to other priorities? Improve tenant protections so people can live within downtown areas Increase opportunities for safe and dedicated pedestrianism. More safe and protected walking can mean more shopping! Increased general fund investment in economic development and business retention programs.

Love our Little Theater "in the square" I call our SLO REP, because -we'll, it's square! Wonderful productions! Don't let it disappear!! SLO needs more "weird" attractions. An alleyway of bubble gum and a tacky inn isn't enough weird for me.

Support “quality of life” business for the downtown such as an independent grocer for actual produce/eggs/daily needs, and health clubs/gyms Support someplace in town that oƯers relatively aƯordable healthy food like grain bowls for the public at large. SLO has way too much poo le nutrition restaurant food and very little healthy food.

Our downtown needs a thriving arts scene as a counterweight to the challenges that retail stores are facing. A vibrant downtown is supported by Cultural Arts and the Cultural Arts District, which includes SLO Rep, SLOMA and now the SLO Film Center at the Palm and should be apart of the vision of Downtown SLO. Support the idea of “locals” neighborhoods. Creating local neighborhoods that we can walk to or bicycle to. The culture arts district is just entertainment for the SLO white elite. I can't aƯord tickets to the theater, parking tickets, or a baby sitter and don't have time to go anyway since I have to work three jobs to make ends meet. How about investing in me and my family? Part of the draw to SLO is the amazing artists that live and work here. SLOMA, in particular, provides a wonderful and accessible art experience for both residents and visitors, alike. It is fantastic that students and anyone from the community can access the gallery for free. The level of artistic work is outstanding. I recently visited the Whitney Bedford exhibit and absolutely loved the work. I told everyone I know about it. Please keep things like this going... this is part of what makes SLO great. Please do not let SLO become a homogenous, boring town. Keep the Central Coast special... that's what it has going for it and will carry it into the future.

Things are harder for my family economically and it seems that everyone is feeling Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 35 Downtown Vitality and Economic Development it - now I see some places are unable to fund the arts and I'd really hate to see that happen here in SLO. Thank you for your time, Michael Eddy The following letter was emailed to the Council, but including it here for good measure. Dear Mayor Stewart and Members of the City Council, On behalf of the San Luis Coastal Education Foundation, I am writing to express our strong support for maintaining arts and culture as one of the City of San Luis Obispo’s core priorities in the updated Major City Goals. As an organization dedicated to leveraging the power of K-12 public education to build an economically mobile and equitable homegrown talent pipeline, we recognize the critical role that a thriving arts and culture sector plays in fostering economic development and community vitality. Research has consistently shown that investments in arts and culture yield significant economic and social benefits. According to the Americans for the Arts’ Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 report, nonprofit arts and culture organizations and their audiences generated $166.3 billion in economic activity nationwide in 2015, supporting 4.6 million jobs and generating $27.5 billion in government revenue. On a local level, a robust arts and culture ecosystem contributes to the vibrancy and uniqueness of our community, making it a more attractive place to live, work, and invest. This is particularly important as San Luis Obispo continues to create high-quality jobs aligned with our region’s economic strategy. Our Education Foundation is deeply committed to fostering economic mobility for the 44% of socioeconomically disadvantaged students in the San Luis Coastal Unified School District. These students represent untapped potential, and by pairing high-quality job creation with a culturally vibrant community, we can encourage them to envision a future where they can thrive here at home. Research indicates that communities with diverse and thriving cultural assets are more likely to retain their young talent, particularly those who value creativity, innovation, and connection. For example, a study by the Knight Foundation and Gallup found that “social oƯerings,” which include arts and cultural opportunities, are among the top factors that attach people to their communities. As the city updates its Major City Goals, we urge you to recognize arts and culture not just as an amenity but as a foundational element of economic and community development. By prioritizing and investing in this sector, San Luis Obispo can: - Encourage Youth Retention: A vibrant cultural scene enhances quality of life and provides young people with compelling reasons to stay, live, and work in their hometown. - Support Workforce Development: Arts and culture contribute to the development of creativity and critical thinking—skills essential for the jobs of the future. - Promote Equity and Inclusion: Cultural programs and public art initiatives can reflect and celebrate the diverse experiences of all community members, fostering a sense of belonging and unity. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 36 Downtown Vitality and Economic Development Our foundation stands ready to collaborate with the city and other community partners to ensure that arts and culture remain a central priority in shaping the future of San Luis Obispo. Together, we can build a community where every student, regardless of socioeconomic background, has the opportunity to thrive in a culturally rich and economically dynamic environment. Thank you for your leadership and commitment to making San Luis Obispo a place where creativity, innovation, and opportunity flourish. We look forward to supporting the city’s eƯorts to sustain arts and culture as a cornerstone of our collective success. Sincerely, Christine Robertson Executive Director San Luis Coastal Education Foundation With the improvements to Mission Plaza, add attractions for a children's play area so that families have a reason to spend time in MP and have a fun break area downtown Xxoo Zone for business on the street level topped by apartments and low cost high density housing projects San Luis Obispo is poised to become a major arts destination. We would like the council to expedite approval and grant a few waiver for the Creekside Art Walk along the entire east facing facade of SLO Gallery. Also, there was previous support among the city council for a banner spanning Broad Street near the museum that would say Cultural Arts District. What happened to that proposal? San Luis Obispo needs a vibrant Cultural Arts District to bring people downtown every night of the week. Theatre, Music, Visual Arts are what make a city thrive. A lively arts scene can have a significant economic impact on our city. San Luis Obispo would be bereft were it not to support their cultural arts...the Art museum, SLO Rep, Children's Museum, History Museum, all of which are essential to the vibrancy of this city. The city's cultural arts and programs are also important to the many surrounding communities, not to forget visitors as well who flock to the central coast for the many amenities that this region has to oƯer. Slo Arts and Culture District SLO Arts Cultural District!!! SLO needs a vibrant arts community to maintain its status as a premier, livable city on the central coast. Arts provide connection for young and old, all economic segments and multiple ethnicities. Arts also support the downtown economy in general by drawing people downtown who spend at our restaurants and shops while in town. Please support investment in the arts such as the developing cultural arts corridor with its new and growing theatres and museums. Thank you. Stop with the 2 hour limit parking. I hear people in my store all the time saying they have to leave because they can’t add more time to their meter. They’re shopping around after lunch and forced to leave. It does not help our businesses and lively-ness around town. SLO REP is a crucial element of creating a vibrant arts community in SLO. Please continue to support the development of the new theatre and know that our investment will help all members Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 37 Downtown Vitality and Economic Development of our community, especially the businesses in SLO that will see more foot traƯic, more tourism and better quality employees willing to move here with high quality theatre available to all. Increase hours of public transit to downtown to match restaurant employee hours. Help people who park in the parking garages know what floor they are on by indicating floor numbers in the stairwells (idea for Parking Services). Keep the free parking days during the holidays and continue investing in new holiday lights in Mission Plaza and around downtown. Also, more public art installations! Lower parking rates. Bring back free parking after 6pm. Support a strong representation of the arts in our community including the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art. · A vibrant arts scene is essential to a healthy community. · A thriving Cultural Arts District will deliver significant economic impact and contribute to social well-being. · Thriving downtowns generally have an array of arts oƯerings driving economic vitality. · Our downtown needs a thriving arts scene as a counterweight to the challenges that retail stores are facing. · The arts play an important role as a connective tissue in building the kind of community we want San Luis Obispo to be.

Lower taxes for purchasing products in our city. Make it easier to drive into town to do business, shop, and dine. My elderly relatives, and friends no longer go downtown due to parking and driving being more diƯicult. Reduction of parking rates for customers of city businesses. It’s hard to purchase large items when riding a bike. I’m a bicyclist, but I don’t purchase as much biking as when i have my car. I don’t go to dinner as often on my bike, i like to drive with friends and family to go out to eat. Support the arts!

Amplified by the cost of parking and requirements to pay through 9pm. Why are we paying for parking 6-9pm? Don’t you want to encourage more people to come downtown ? Supporting and expanding the downtown Cultural and Arts programs are very important to a thriving and healthy community. The Downtown can't just be retail; bringing people together through cultural performances and the performing arts helps support economic stability. Support for the Cultural Arts District needs to be a part of the overall city plan. Supporting the arts and the cultural arts district is crucial to the health of downtown. The arts, and in particular the SLO Museum of Art and SLO REP, both benefit the emotional health of the Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 38 Downtown Vitality and Economic Development community but can be key economic drivers as well. I'm disappointed that this was not even an option to be ranked in the Downtown and Economic Development section. Supporting the arts in downtown slo attracts tourists and locals alike and helps every business gain more foot traƯic. Supporting the Cultural Arts District will allow San Luis Obispo to stand out as a vibrant and unique city, showcasing art as a powerful way to celebrate our community's creativity. Additionally, fostering the arts will promote the healthy, creative development of our children, ensuring they thrive in a supportive environment. The arts (visual, performing, etc.) are important for areas that are thriving and building community rather than just surviving. The Arts are a necessary, ongoing communication in our community and through time. They oƯer a path of connecting and seeing each other in new ways- heart opening relationships that are vital to a healthy community. Visual and Performance Arts are critical to enhancing that unique creative spark in us all, as well as facilitating welcome arms to tourists. Please support the Cultural Arts District in your Major City Goals. Thank you. The Arts are critical to the economic growth of a vibrant downtown and adjacent areas. The Arts are why many people visit a community. The Arts support diversity. The Arts inspire everyone from youth to elderly. We need more aƯordable studio space. More grants for start ups. Grants for art for youth. The arts are vitally important to our family. My kids thrive on music and theater and have learned about self expression via these arts. My husband and I love to attend plays at the SLO REP Theater and often we bring our children along too. We hope that you will keep the arts as a main focus as it brings such beautiful life to our community.

The city needs to support the cultural arts district. This is so important to the development of the Ken business as well and attracts visitors to our city thank you. Reduce homelessness downtown and provide more aƯordable parking. The city should consider eliminating or reducing parking fees downtown to make the area more accessible and encourage more foot traƯic to local businesses. High parking costs deter residents and visitors, and oƯering free or low-cost parking would create a more welcoming environment. The cultural arts are so important to a vital downtown SLO! The visual and performing arts are such a big part of the personality of our community. They bring the humor, the whimsy, the laughter, the charm, the mystery, the "Aha!" moments, the sense of wonder, and the connection to our community. It's a huge part of what makes visitors say, "Gee, I wish I lived HERE! Let's at Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 39 Downtown Vitality and Economic Development least come back and visit again soon!" We are so fortunate to have a community with many talented artists and performers. The goals and priorities of our city should reflect this vital part of our character and our economy. To achieve downtown vitality and economic development, get rid of paid parking and you’ll have a lot more people coming downtown spending money. The equation for true Economic vitality in a downtown is a healthy mix of retail, cultural spaces and housing. Ensuring that young artists can aƯord to live here is the foundation of a cultural arts district. A Both and approach of protecting tenants, ensuring habitually so people are in safe, secure housing and capping the rent means our artists can live, work and create in downtown. It doesn’t seem right that the non profit downtown SLO organization is needing to raise money for a clean and safe program when our city should be charged w this. Why can’t the city prioritize its spending on having a clean and safe ? The Mission and the Cultural Arts District are, and will continue to be, the heart of downtown San Luis Obispo. It is where locals young and old gather to enjoy music, the theater, learn of their history, and experience the visual arts regional and national. It is a cultural resource unmatched for a community of our size. At the same time it is a magnet for tourists who search out the cultural center of a community to begin their exploration of our area and create the financial impact that their visit will have on our economy. Please do not neglect the importance of the Cultural Arts District on your long-term planning. Dennis Schneider The San Luis Obispo Museum of Art is vital to the community. And should be included in the Economic Development Plan. It has been a draw for local residents and visitors for decades. It is a symbol of what San Luis Obispo represents. My children growing up attended the summer arts program for years. Those classes and visiting the museum regularly inspired our daughter to major in the Arts in college. It would be shameful to not support the museum that has been a fabric in our city. The whole city would benefit from more robust arts oƯerings. The council’s support of eƯorts to build a new theatre seem smart, especially since private dollars are being raised. More support for the History Center and art museum would draw even more foot traƯic to downtown from people other than college students looking for cheap eats and beer. There was always a thriving arts scene when I was growing up in San Luis Obispo. As an adult I now work very successfully in the arts and it's thanks to what I was saw and the opportunities I had as a kid. At a time when people are becoming more isolated and polarised, the arts bring people together. They also bring in money. A thriving Cultural Arts District will not only deliver significant economic impact, but contribute to social well-being in the area. This council has been terrific in supporting the arts. We're lucky you cast a holistic eye as to what makes a community health. Please retain that frame in your Major City Goals. This message is for the council members. Your current plan for city goals DOES NOT INCLUDE FUNDS FOR THE ARTS DISTRICT. A thriving arts district will provide significant economic benefits and add additional social opportunities, providing a healthy community. Please add the Cultural Arts District to your major goals for '25-'27. A long time resident 36 years - Bette Kulp Thriving downtowns generally have an array of arts oƯerings driving economic vitality. Keep it clean and green, literally with plants, healthy shrubs, flowers, trees. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 40 Downtown Vitality and Economic Development I hope that you will include the arts in your major city goals. I agree with the following sentiments: A vibrant arts scene is essential to a healthy community. · A thriving Cultural Arts District will deliver significant economic impact and contribute to social well-being. · Thriving downtowns generally have an array of arts oƯerings driving economic vitality. · Our downtown needs a thriving arts scene as a counterweight to the challenges that retail stores are facing. · The arts play an important role as a connective tissue in building the kind of community we want San Luis Obispo to be. Thank you. I write in support of investing in SLO's Cultural Arts District. This district contributes to our community connectivity, drives economic resilience in our downtown area and continues to create spaces for our diversity community to find themselves. We are so grateful for the City’s current investment in the downtown’s arts and culture vitality. This should be just the beginning as we work together to bring true vibrancy and community through the arts We live in Pismo Beach and travel to downtown SLO several times a month for entertainment and enlightenment. We appreciate the many arts programs available to us here, especially SLO Rep, SLOMA and the Cal Poly PAC, and love the creation of an arts district - it should be an ongoing goal of the city. Like many of our friends and so many of our houseguests, the arts are the "draw" for us, but we accompany those with shopping and lunch or dinner out each time, thus supporting the business sector as well. We must include support for the Cultural Arts District!!! Having the arts downtown is critical to both engaging our local community and attracting people from afar. A key social and economic issue. We need a vibrant downtown, and a key component of it must be the Arts. The arts enthuse the young and satisfy the old. Arts bring people (and their money) into the community. We need to support the Arts District downtown. This is an important part of a vibrant community and something we always look for when we travel. We urge the City Council to include support for the Cultural Arts District in their Major City Goals for 2025-2027. The arts play a critical role as a connective tissue in building the kind of community we all want San Luis Obispo to be. A thriving Cultural Arts District will deliver significant economic impact to the city and contribute to the social well-being of its citizens. Please consider this as you finalize the Major City Goals for the upcoming timeframe. What happened to the arts in these goals? For many of us who live in outlying areas, the arts are what bring us downtown and we support our wonderful "big city" by visiting restaurants and shops while we're there! Please have a goal to continue work on creating an "arts district" that will keep our city dynamic and provide illuminating experiences for all of us. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 41 Downtown Vitality and Economic Development When I think about what makes SLO so special, it is access to cultural arts and the exciting plans for a cultural arts district. I have watched how SLOMA has experienced a rebirth under new leadership, and continues to be an attraction of downtown SLO. The plans to build a new SLO Rep are also exciting, bringing increased locals and tourists to the downtown area. And wow! How spectacular the Arts District can look with this transformation. I believe a thriving arts scene is essential to a healthy and vibrant community. It will deliver significant economic impact and contribute to social connections in our community. Our downtown deserves a thriving arts scene! Please support the Cultural Arts District in your major city goals for 2025. Increasing Tenant and Evictions Protections allows downtown employees to live and work downtown which means vibrant neighborhoods in downtown. Make Tenant Protections a major city goal Without the Cultural Arts District....what will you have?! Not much. Please include support for the Cultural Arts District in your Major City Goals. A vibrant arts scene keeps the community healthy & happy & attractive to visitors. Would love to see you support the Cultural Arts District downtown. We are so excited to see a new theater for SLO Rep which would benefit and community and bring in a lot of economic growth for our businesses downtown. PLEASE add the arts to your goals for 2025 and beyond. Our community needs them, and will benefit from them. Debbie Wacker WOW, we just learned the 2025-2027 Major city Goals do not include support for the Cultural Arts District. We believe continued support for the District certainly should be considered a Major City Goal, since the Arts District will be an even greater source of economic power through this period. The new parking structure and new SLOREP Theater, combined with expanded exhibitions at SLOMA, are leading the way to make SLO a true destination, driving increased economic activity throughout the city. WTF?! Where’s our existing goal of Cultural Vitality? With all of our empty storefronts and the unlikely return of major retail, the city needs to support arts groups in ensuring economic viability in attracting people to our downtown. Facilitate convos between building owners and nonprofit arts groups. Explore lending options to make new downtown arts presence a reality. For the love of God, help our souls get through the next 4 years. Don’t let these empty building owners get away with making $$ BECAUSE they’re empty. Impose a vacancy tax. Retail is not coming back. Make it harder for those building to sit empty. Yes! Cultural Arts District is the right idea. That and the library are the only reasons I will visit downtown in the future--and I've lived here most of my life. Increasing vacant properties are an existential issue for the downtown business district. Oftentimes these properties are vacant because rent is too high. Is it possible to impose penalties of some sort to property owners whose downtown commercial properties remain vacant for too long of a period of time? This would encourage property owners to adjust rents accordingly to attract and promote a diverse downtown business environment. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 42 Fiscal Sustainability Stop spending so much money on bicycle lanes and protected bike lanes, reconfiguring roads, and stop sign intersections, we don’t need 12 warning signs at one intersection, like near the corner of Monterey and Toro !! That intersection with 12 signs that say the same thing is totally ridiculous. Six signs for going north that say the same thing and six signs if you’re heading south , let’s say the same thing. Explain to the public the CalPers situation. With employee salary negotiations coming up, I would urge you to maintain budget neutrality. I understand that employee compensation will rise per employee, but we cannot aƯord to take a huge hit here. Unfortunately, there may have to be some trimming of the workforce in order to achieve this goal. Maintain what is in place before bringing in more and new. To fund a work program that creates a rental registry, modernizes health and safety requirements for rental properties, and strengthens eviction protections, revenue sources you should consider include: o Fees on residential and commercial buildings that sit vacant for extended periods to oƯset sales tax losses and the cost of ongoing police and fire protection o Transfer fees on high-end properties, both residential and commercial o Tax domiciles not occupied by owners at a substantially higher rate Reduce the budget for all non essential services expenses by 5%. Essential services are police, fire, water, sewer. All other activities can be done with less. Its tough, but we can do it. Use the surplus to reduce our debt and pension liabilities. Raising taxes is not an option. We already have one of the highest tax rates burdening or local businesses, who are a main source of our revenue. Invest year-end carry-over into capital projects to limit debt financing Tax the rich Cut city staƯ positions. You are bloated. Spend less on aesthetic public works projects and invest more in repairing the infrastructure that needs repair. Reduce greenways and bike path projects. Expand existing Business license/business tax program to require listing the addresses of ALL rental properties owned by a property owner & charge a business tax for each address. Requiring landlords to list all properties AND charging the tax per address would provide more revenue to the city - also it would allow the same fee to be paid per property regardless if the owner had one rental or twenty. The fee could be lowered while increasing overall revenue. Is this cities employee base right sized? Divest any funds from harmful institutions (fossil fuels, militarization, the prison industrial complex, etc) Expand existing business license/tax to require listing of ALL rental properties owned by a property owner and charge a business tax for each address which will provide more revenue to the city. Ensure that the City’s investment portfolio continues to implement ESG screening criteria and prioritize reducing exposure to fossil-fuel companies. Bike park is a great way to include the local community around an all inclusive park Develop a supplier scorecard that measures their delivery to quote. Areas to measure include quality of work, delivery to schedule, and cost. Scorecard impacts future work. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 43 Fiscal Sustainability Implement penalties to contractors for delayed project completion. Including but not limited to blocking from future projects. Reduce police budget Incorporating cost of orcutt area park as a priority when planning for the future. Instead of investing SLO City Funds w/ southern California Finance Managers, start a City owned & Managed Bank which makes secured loans to build & improve homes and business structures in the City only, make money for the City, grow housing stock and keep funds local. Partner with local non profits doing the work to achieve major city goals Move faster with projects to increase the impact of our spend. Delayed projects cost more with inflation and more project management. Less planning, more action. To address the shrinking federal funds for aƯordable housing, increase Tenant Protections to keep renters in safe, secure aƯordable housing. This also avoids the high cost of losing employees due to the exorbitant rent. Drop CalPERS as a benefit and go to a 401k style plan that takes the long term burden o Ư the city. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 44 Infrastructure and Sustainable/Multi-Modal Transportation As a biker in SLO I cannot appreciate the bike lanes enough. Absolutely incredible to see the protection of riders. However, the amount of variation in bike lane styles is genuinely confusing for both bikes and cars. I sometimes feel it is safer and more clear to cars to just stay on the right side of the lane rather than be weaving through a moving bike lane. Again, no matter what, cannot appreciate the SLO bike lanes enough!!! Connect the Madonna bike path to downtown under the freeway with a safe bike path. Connect the Madonna bike path to downtown with a fully-paved, well-lit, wider path, providing a safe and welcoming connection between Madonna Rd and downtown. Do not put any more protected bike planes in the city and don’t reconfigure roads so you have to park in the middle of the street. Feels in many ways like the recently updated streets are less safe due to thinner lanes and bike lane transitions especially in areas like the entry to Target in San Luis Obispo. Also, on downtown side street transitions can be very confusing & especially when there are large trucks there is very little room to manuever making it even more hazardous for both cars AND bike riders. In spite of emphasis on bike lanes residents are by far using their vehicles more especially downtown and other retail areas & many of the changes are making it more diƯicult for vehicular traƯic. Before investing more time & money into these types of changes in high traƯic locations there should be an in-depth review and understanding of the actual usage. The car vs bike riding ratio seems to be about 99% car vs 1% bike/pedestrian usage and the updates are very focused on bikes/pedestrian. I like the new striping on Johnson Ave, and would still feel much safer in protected bike lanes. North Chorro Greenway is great. What about Tank Farm Rd? Some better night lighting at bus stops would also help. More protected bike lanes especially something for So Higuera and for Madonna rd over the freeway please. More protected bike lanes, reduce speed limits NO MORE BIKE LANES RUINING STREETS Prioritize bike and public transit infrastructure Protected bike lanes. Stop putting in bike lanes, adding curbs and other hostile architecture. Unless you ride in the bike lane, "voting" for a protected one does not "protect" bikes. As a cyclist myself, I feel SAFER riding with traƯic that I know can see me. Also, while I do love my bike, I don't need to ride it to work. The traƯic that SLO has created from these bike lanes is excessive and seems to be done for the tourist/visitors, not the residents. Residents know where to ride. Also, the new medians in the roadways are dangerous and should have been installed better (Johnson Ave). Stop removing city streets and replacing it with bike lines. Stop the confusing bike lane madness Street repairs for Sacramento Street Want to emphasize the great work n making the city more pedestrian and bike friendly. Still some ways to go! Higuera needs more bike infrastructure between Santa Rosa and California to protect cyclists. We need another east-west bike/ped connector between Broad and South Higuera. Please initiate discussions with the Garcia Family for a multiuse pathway connecting the eastern terminus of Prado to Broad Street. This connector is needed to achieve the 20 percent trips-by- bike goal. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 45 Infrastructure and Sustainable/Multi-Modal Transportation Work with the county to build a safe bike path from the Vons/MindBody area to the SLO Public Market/Trader Joes area. La Loma Adobe house is the oldest adobe house in San Luis Obispo county. Allocate suƯicient funds to finish rebuilding it. Continue and expand the dredging operations for Laguna Lake and eƯorts to slow additional sedimentation. At this date, having the capacity of the lake maintained and increased has to be considered a necessity to fight wildfires, in addition to its environmental, recreational and visual mental health benefits. Continue to dredge Laguna Lake on a annual basis Laguna Golf Course is in need of very modest expenditures to install the washed -out bridge and repair the out-of-service Clubhouse, the cost of which is covered by insurance. Please attend to deficiencies at Laguna Lake Golf Course. The clubhouse has languished for a number of years. The bridge, especially, needs replacement. Please consider actions required at Laguna Golf Course, the “lungs” of SLO. Build Pickleball courts at Laguna Lakes Construct Pickleball Courts at Laguna Lake Park!? I would like to see more pickleball courts built before I'm too old to play More pickle ball courts! Permanent and lighted pickleball courts Pickleball courts With the increase interests in pickleball, we definitely need more permanent pickleball courts in the area. Citywide speed limit of 25 mph. Environmental benefits, safety benefits, and makes biking a more reasonable way to commute. Concentrate on the cultural district improvements and maintenance Fund the replacement of the bridge on the Laguna Lake Golf Course. How many more lighted pedestrian signs do we need?! Monterey Street looks awful! Plus, since they blink constantly, they are going to "cry wolf" and make people stop looking/watching. I think pedestrians can push a button if they want lights. All of the road "improvements" are excessive, and it makes our town look like we're incapable of driving. The streets are an obstacle course! I am in support of the Short Range Transit Plan and Active Transportation Plan, however, i would like to see more of a data driven approach to these transportation plans. There is an opportunity to tie transit to flexible density, which would help alleviate our housing crisis. I would like to see a priority with much better street lighting across the city, adding a protected bike intersection at Santa Rosa and Foothill, and safety improvements to Foothill. I would REALLY appreciate a separated walking/bike lane that goes along Tank Farm road. I see people walking/biking on the shoulder quite often, and the road is quite narrow. There are also very few street lights, making it even more dangerous. If there was a separated bike/walking path I also think it would be really enjoyable to walk along I wrote a letter last year encouraging the city to prioritize the Tier 1 ATP goal of building a second Railroad Bike/Pedestrian Bridge at Woodbridge or Francis St. With the Hybrid Beacon at Broad/Woodbridge and the improved bike infrastructure as part of the Higuera St improvement project there is going to be a greater demand for east-west bicycle transport across the city. Currently for people trying to cross the railroad tracks (say for example to go from Meadow Park or South Higuera going towards Shinshimer Park to watch a SLO Blues game) the only options are Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 46 Infrastructure and Sustainable/Multi-Modal Transportation to ride to the railroad station or down to Orcutt - both significant detours. I believe this is a project worth prioritizing. Improve safe sustainable transportation with protected bike lands. Include the unique features of e-bikes in the design of cycling infrastructure. Don't force them into narrow, slow moving protected bike lanes and protected intersections. Greenways are great! Increase public art in parks Invest in more facilities for older youths - the city has a lot of playgrounds for young children, but not many spaces for tweens and teens to enjoy and have fun. More public gym/ workout equipment like at Emerson park Open space should be about public access. Not "conservatation" and keeping people out of their public lands Please reduce traƯic congestion for working families that need to drive their kids and elderly relatives to school, sports and appointments. We’ve done enough to make it diƯicult to drive and do business in this city. People are avoiding the city now in growing numbers. Stop spending money “improving” our transportation. Lets see if our businesses will come back to generate revenue before we spend any more or tax anymore. Please stop with the roundabouts and pedestrian crossings (I.e. Foothill). They barely work and people don’t use them properly. Roundabouts (like on Cerro Romauldo) are terrible for large vehicles and many don’t use them properly. Speed bumps are a waste of taxpayer money as people still speed. Pls focus in repairing and maintaining our roads over the over obsession with bike paths. Provide support to the maintenance and expansion of the Profumo Creek restoration and enhancement project by working with creeklands.org and it’s manager to encourage community volunteer activity and staƯing for open hours to allow hiking and bicycling use of the trails going along the creek Ramp up bike lanes at Laguna Lake and trails. Make the piers workable for all abilities. Increase boating on the lake! Promote public option for kayak rental, etc. Regularly clear debris from the protected bike lanes. Remove anti-homeless measures such as bench middle dividers and hostile architecture StaƯ a “director of trails” to oversee bike, hike, equestrian trail planning development and maintenance in coordination with state and local leaders and trail focused organizations This is a time to maintain what is in place before bringing in new. Many projects can wait but preparing for natural disasters cannot wait. Caring for the people who live here now cannot wait. To have the city work more closely with the county to improve safety the major east/west corridor of Tank Farm Road for bicycles & pedestrian safety, which would coordinate nicely with the upcoming south Higuera road improvements and Broad to Orcutt road improvements Calm traƯic on Broad street between South and Orcutt roads. Support vision Zero goals on this dangerous segment. Help residents in adjoining neighborhoods get safely across Broad street on foot or bike to destinations, on north side of Broad. Add protected/buƯered bike lanes along broad and at min one additional signal for safer crossing. Continue to support and fund the South Broad Street Corridor Project I live oƯ of Broad St between South and Orcutt. I have lived there for 10 years and during that time there have been many homes built in my neighborhood and along the railroad area. This all creates additional traƯic coming onto Broad st which requires cars to feed through the center median. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 47 Infrastructure and Sustainable/Multi-Modal Transportation In addition, the new home developments south of Orcutt/Rigetti etc mean there are many more people using Broad st to get downtown. We need improvements for routing traƯic and people across Broad St - center dividers, traƯic lights etc. It should be a requirement for these new housing projects to fund safety improvements to the main feeder roads that link the neighborhoods to downtown. Not sure if this goes under this category, but prioritize the Broad Street corridor traƯic calming and safety measures please for our drivers, bikers and walkers! Support the broad street corridor plan for traƯic calming. Being work on Righetti Ranch park. Build more parks. Specifically the one that was promised in Righetti Ranch. Build out the Righetti Ranch park as promised. So many community members are relying on it and Islay Park never has parking and is always packed. Build Righetti Ranch Park Build the promised Righetti Park ASAP Build the Righetti Park! Complete the Righetti Ranch parks that we were promised! Continued work on the Righetti Ranch park. Finally finish building the Righetti Ranch Parks that were promised. I feel so bad for all the young families in the Righetti Ranch neighborhood. They moved here with the promise of the soon to come pocket parks and larger sports park. It’s been far too long. Please give these people a place to take their small children to play even if it’s ahead of the larger schedule of plans. I would like to see the Righetti Park project moved up in priority. The children in our neighborhood don’t have access to a park without crossing a major street, so they end up playing in the road. The roads aren’t safe in the neighborhood because of fast and distracted drivers. The kids deserve a safe play to play within walking distance like the rest of the SLO community does. I would like to see the Righetti/Tiberon Park project moved up in priority. My kids need a safe place to play and the closest parks are all across major, busy streets. Our kids need a safe place to play within walking distance before they are too old to enjoy a park. I would love for the city to prioritize the park at Rhigetti. I have lived in the neighborhood for over 3 years, but there has been no progress. The neighborhoods surrounding the proposed park are PACKED with kids, yet they have nowhere to play. The house lots are very small and the kids have to play in the street. Please build the park we thought would be there years ago. Thank you! I’d love to see the Righetti Park project moved up higher in priority. Noveno neighborhood kids don't have access to a park area without crossing a major street, so they play in the roads where many drivers are speeding around not paying attention or expecting children to be near the roads. Let's get as much of the park put in asap please. It's part of why we moved here. Make Righetti Ranch park a priority Make Righetti Ranch Park a priority as was promised 6+ years ago. This community has brought in a significant increase in budget from property taxes! Make Righetti Ranch Park a priority!! Make Righetti Ranch park a priority. Make righetti ranch parks a priority Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 48 Infrastructure and Sustainable/Multi-Modal Transportation Make the Righetti Ranch park a priority Please build Righetti ranch park Please build Righetti Ranch Park! Please build the parks at Righetti Ranch. We bought our home almost 6 years ago. At that time, the sales oƯice told us the developers were given the money to the City to build the parks. It’s been stalled and delayed all these years. If it had been built when the money was given to the City there wouldn’t be this big financial deficit. Something isn’t right. Was the money used for something else? Please get it built in 2025. Please build the promised park at righetti ranch. It was a major selling point of buying there and it is wrong to not build it! Please complete Righetti Ranch Park. We moved here 5 years ago and not one park/pocket park/garden has "broke" ground. The best we can get over here is weed abatement that we have to often request. We have so many kids in this community that the San Luis coastal unified School district is planning on moving the boundary from Los Ranchos to Sinnshimer School because of overpopulation in Los Ranchos. Needless to say we have a large community of families and children that need a safe space to play within our own neighborhood. We were promised it would only take one to two years when we first moved in. My kids were 8 and 5 years old at the time, they are now 13 and 10 years old. I would really like to see this park built before my kids graduate high school. It would be great to connect the community and the huge development. It's hard to sit back and not voice our frustration, when we see new developments with their completed parks like Avila Ranch and San Luis Ranch already in place. Seems this was a missed opportunity to require our developer to complete the park before turning over the financial responsibility to the City of SLO. I'm sure there are a thousand reasons, but in the end, it just needs to get done. I really don't want to come back in 5 years to repeat this same sentiment. Thanks for your consideration. Please finish the Righetti Ranch Parks. It’s been a really long time coming. It would be appreciated if it was made a priority. Thank you. Please focus on the park in the Righetti Ranch area (Tiburon Street). When we purchased our home, we were promised a park, but my kids have since graduated and are oƯ to college. So as we age we would love a safe, neighborhood to remain active. Please prioritize building the Righetti Ranch park. We have lived in the neighborhood for over five years and were promised this park by the developer. Our kids are getting older! Please prioritize parks in Righetti Ranch! This new development has brought in many new families with young children in addition to increased property tax. Please prioritize parks in the Orcutt area, specifically Righetti ranch park. There are SO many kids who have lived here for 5 years now anticipating this park. It will be utilized greatly and improve the safety of our community so kids aren’t playing in the street. Please prioritize the park in Righetti. We have lived in the Noveno neighborhood since 2020 and have three young kids. We purchased here in part to have a local park within walking distance. There are no culdesacs in these neighborhoods and we are all desperate to have a safe place for our kids to play. Even if the park is built in phases that’s ok. Start with a play structure or a splash pad at least. Thank you. Please put in the 8 pickleball courts in the Righetti Ranch neighborhood. 350, tax paying members of the SLO pickleball club have agreed to assist with fundraising to make up funds required in addition to the money already contributed by the developer to the project. Please keep your word on a project that was agreed upon several years ago. I am also a resident Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 49 Infrastructure and Sustainable/Multi-Modal Transportation in the Righetti neighborhood. This sport is growing exponentially and the City of SLO needs to facilitate more courts for this sport which will only enhance the well being of many SLO residents. Thank you. Please start construction on the park at righetti ranch. There are so many kids in this neighborhood with no park to play at and they end up playing in the streets, which is not safe bc it’s a highly traƯicked neighborhood. We have been promised a park for years and nothing has happened. All the kids will be full grown by the time it’s implemented. Not enough basketball or pickleball courts in town to accommodate people. Please turn the dirt lot in Righetti Ranch into the promised park. So many homeowners bought in this area for the promise of this park for our kids. The dirt lot is making tumbleweeds that are going into our court and scratching cars instead. Please work on the park in the Righetti Ranch, South Morros, and Noveno new developments. Prioritize Righetti Ranch Park Prioritize the Righetti Ranch Park system and start construction in the summer of 2025. Righetti ranch needs its park! Righetti Ranch Parks Start and complete the Righetti parks. Start building the “orcutt area” parks oƯ tiburon before costs go up even more! Start the park build at Righetti Ranch. Families moved into this neighborhood 5+ years ago with a park promised. Currently, the area is used for car donuts and not safe for the community to enjoy. Start/Finish the RRR Park, a project that was promised 6 years ago once all the houses were built. The Prado bridge is a waste of money. People can drive an extra mile via Madonna to get to the other side. This project makes no sense at all. Would rather see any money earmarked for this to go to homeless projects. The building of the Righetti Ranch park is essential. With the number of people living around this new area, especially with the addition of the low income housing units, there needs to be a place for people and their families to go to enjoy recreation. Islay park and French park have already become impacted by the development of these new homes. We just need the basics of a park and it needs to begin as soon as possible. Families have been waiting 5-6 years with the promise of a recreation space. The park for the Righetti community is of utmost importance. There are so many families living in this newly built community and we need a place for the kiddos and families to play. Thank you. The Righetti Ranch park, that is. Thanks, much. Our kids were 5 and 8. Now they're 8 and 10. We've joked that it wouldn't happen till they were out of school, but it's getting less funny with each passing year. The Righetti Ranch parked that was promised over 5 years ago We need the park at Righetti Ranch! We have been waiting YEARS for this project. Walking past that huge empty field full of weeds is depressing when I know we should be seeing a park full of SLO residents enjoying the amenities that we have been promised. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 50 Public Safety Ensure roadways are wide enough to accomplish a mass evacuation. Physical barriers in the roadway prevent that. I would like to see wildfire hardening of residential homes put into the city code— mandate or incentivize homeowners to harden their homes against fire. Please keep the needs of the elderly, infirm and the disabled at the forefront of all public safety, emergency and evacuation planning and responses. Work with Cal Fire, Cal Trans, parks/resources agencies, private contractors, etc. to create and implement a comprehensive fuel reduction plan for the Wildland Urban Interface areas around the City. Areas like the San Luis Drive / SLO High area all the way down Johnson to Orcutt Rd as well as Cal Poly, the Foothill neighborhoods and many others are in significant wildfire risk areas. Consider the purchase and implementation of masticators, tracked chippers, curtain burners etc. for the purpose of fuel reduction. Utilize grants and state funding where possible. Manpower is available though the State via Cal Fire hand crew project contracting. Enforce bicycle traƯic laws, like riding at night with lights, riding on the wrong side of the street, and riding on sidewalks. I believe motorists behave carelessly because they do not see the consequences. Making public (at the scene, on City email distribution, etc) those consequences might o Ưer the opportunity to change habits and attitudes. Bad guys need attention. Others need attention to avoid becoming bad guys. I support more visibility through greater staƯing for oƯicers on the road enforcing traƯic law (and a little data crunching and transparency and the money that requires). Thank you! Increase speed limit patrols. Public safety should have been the first step in improving bike and pedestrian safety. Policing should have been done to enforce driving rules and regulations. What the transportation committee has done to our streets is unfortunate, and while we cannot remove the stop signs, roundabouts and protected bike lanes, we should use our police force to regulate distracted drivers, not continue to add road hazards. Get rid of the homeless mentally unwell people that hang out downtown. Add red light cameras to major intersections. Another vote for additional Community Service OƯicers to help with noise abasement Cancel construction of the new PD building. Spend that money elsewhere. Finish building station five!! Have free 24/7 escort services for our LGBTQ+/trans community members available? I believe they probably feel the least safe in public these days. Help citizens know who to contact when there is a homeless person sleeping outside one's door or rummaging through one's trash/adding to it or acting ill or may be dead/on verge of death. I had to call 911 once and the fire truck came and roused the person, then left. Was that the right response? I'm not sure what rights belong to whom. I'm not sure what response is eƯective. Please help the public know how to handle homeless conflicts and incidents with sensitive accuracy and humane eƯectiveness. Increase access to emergency health services for students! Increase police force to focus on growing crime in SLO. Increase trauma-informed outreach, prioritizing housing and basic services over criminalization. Initiate a program to send homeless individuals back to areas where their family is located. Ventura started a program where any homeless individuals contacted by police or fire are asked if Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 51 Public Safety they would like to or need help getting back to their own community. If they say yes then a team is contacted to relocate the individual closer to their family support network. Keep criminals in jail. Limit the expansion of Law enforcement infrastructure--especially surveillance infrastructure. restructure public health/social service functions to non-LE agencies. Reduce homelessness and drug addiction. Replace police and fire vehicles with EVs to save money long term. Stop selective enforcement. ie. not citing homeless/addicts but citing only people who are able to pay fines. Two (2) Community Service OƯicers dedicated to weekend noise abasement. When we have a place to call home, we feel safety. When we have healthy food to eat, we feel well. When we belong, we feel community. This is my dream of public safety. Consider divesting funding from the police and into community policing projects Reduce police budget Stop Funding The Police As someone who spent years on the Broad St. Corridor project from this community please do something to limit speed on Broad St. between South and Orcutt. I was dedicated to the committee when my daughter was in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades hoping some change would be implemented - she is now in college. The only change has been a ped. crossing light at Woodbridge that is poorly signed and does not have strong visuals - i.e., road level lighting and colors applied to crosswalk. Also PLEASE limit traƯic and speed (additional stop signs and speed humps!!!) on Woodbridge from Broad and on Lawton and especially Meadow. There is NO safe crossing for neighborhood children on Meadow to access the park and there is extreme cut- through traƯic from South and Broad streets trying to avoid the light at South and Broad. Thank You! Implement and enforce elements of the Vision Zero Plan Increased street lights along Monterey from downtown to California st, especially around the rail overpass More crosswalks and traƯic calming measures. To have the city work more closely with the county to improve safety the major east/west corridor of Tank Farm Road for bicycles & pedestrian safety, which would coordinate nicely with the upcoming south Higuera road improvements and Broad to Orcutt road improvements a walking/bike path along Tank Farm! Close the many gaps and loopholes in state law that allow bad faith actors to perpetuate unsafe and unhealthy living conditions and to harass tenants, evict them without cause, and intimidate or push out tenants who ask for repairs or improvements. Improving tenant protections improves public safety Increase standards and monitoring of rental properties to avoid potential fire hazards, flood damage, etc Increase tenant and eviction protection programs Increase Tenant and Evictions Protections to keep people house avoiding public safety costs Tenant protections and code enforcement goes a long way to keep everyone safe.things like fires,health issues such as disease carrying rodents and roaches not impact the individual but potentially the community at large Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 52 Other/New Ideas Arts and sustainability should be a priority!

Supporting the arts- theater, classical music, other music venues, visual arts. We have a wonderful, vibrant art community here in the central coast which deserves to be recognized and supported.. Continue to support art activities through Slo rep, art after dark, music in the plaza, the historical museum, the art museum, , etc. Please support the Cultural Arts District as part of your major goals. The City of San Luis Obispo needs to support and cherish arts and cultural programming in order to keep our community vibrant and welcoming to visitors. As the publisher of SLO Review (sloreview.org) I see every day the benefits of a thriving arts scene to local children, community-minded adults, and visitors who want to enjoy local food, beverages, sights, and events that show oƯ the beautiful work and spirit of our local artists, whether they are chefs, musicians, winemakers, performers or artists. Please don’t forget the arts! - Charlotte Alexander 1. Community art center 2. Annual Seed Exchange festival Arts and culture initiatives Not new but important to continue to make supporting arts and culture a major city goal. The Cultural Arts District will bring economic benefits and enhance and encourage a vital and growing and inclusive community in our downtown and throughout the region. Downtown cultural arts space I’m not sure this specifically qualifies as a new idea but I think it’s important that the downtown plans specifically call out the cultural arts district as it develops over the years. This will be a unifying force for downtown economic health. Expanded Benefits of the Bike Park 1. Unique Appeal of Dirt Jumps • Skill Development:Dirt jumps cater to a range of riders, from beginners learning basic jumps to advanced riders perfecting tricks, making the park inclusive and versatile. • Attracting Riders:Well-designed dirt jumps are a magnet for BMX riders, mountain bikers, and Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 53 Other/New Ideas freestyle enthusiasts, creating a hub for the cycling community. • Spectator Draw:Jump zones are visually exciting, encouraging community members and families to gather and enjoy the park, even if they’re not riding. 2. Community Identity • Local Pride: A bike park with standout dirt jumps can become a signature feature of the city, establishing it as a destination for action sports. • Youth Engagement: Provides young people with a safe, challenging, and fun environment to spend time, reducing idle behavior and fostering a sense of belonging. • Cultural Events:Enables hosting of local competitions, showcases, and rider meetups, adding to the city’s cultural vibrancy. 3. Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship • Erosion Control:Dirt jumps can be designed with proper drainage and landscaping, reducing soil erosion and integrating the natural environment. • Upcycling Materials: Recycled materials like old asphalt or concrete can be used as a base for jumps, reducing waste and costs. Community Involvement to Reduce Costs 1. Volunteer Opportunities • Build Days:Organize community “dig days,” where locals help shape and maintain dirt jumps under professional guidance. These events foster community ownership and reduce labor costs. • Rider Involvement:Engage riders in the design and construction process, ensuring the jumps meet the needs of the local cycling community. 2. Partnerships with Local Businesses • Donations of Materials: Approach construction companies, landscaping businesses, or quarries for donations or discounted rates on dirt, gravel, and other materials. • Equipment Sponsorships: Partner with local equipment rental companies to provide machinery (e.g., skid steers, compactors) at reduced rates or as in-kind sponsorships. 3. Educational Workshops • Skill-Building Clinics: Host workshops on trail and jump construction techniques, teaching participants the basics of shaping and maintaining dirt features. • Youth Programs:Engage local schools or youth organizations to include the bike park project as part of educational or extracurricular activities. 4. Crowdsourcing Resources • Community Fundraising Events: Host events like bike-a-thons, raƯles, or demo rides to raise money for the park. • Online Campaigns:Use crowdfunding platforms to reach cycling enthusiasts and highlight the project’s community impact. • Material Recycling:Encourage community donations of recyclable materials (e.g., wood, rock) that can be integrated into the park’s construction. 5. Establishing a “Friends of the Bike Park” Group Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 54 Other/New Ideas • Form a volunteer organization dedicated to the park’s development and upkeep. • Members can help maintain jumps, organize events, and recruit sponsors. Key Messaging for Community Engagement • Inclusive Vision:Highlight that the park is for everyone—riders, families, and spectators alike. • Hands-On Fun:Emphasize the opportunity for participants to shape and maintain the park, making it a true community creation. • Long-Term Benefits: Showcase the economic, social, and environmental returns of their contributions, ensuring continued interest and involvement.

A true community center for all ages. Child care. We need help in the following areas: Permitting, minor use changes & exorbitant fees: we oƯer a much needed, essential service to this community but our profit is much lower than many businesses. We need less expensive rates to make owning and running a child care center achievable and sustainable. Sliding scales for fees? Places we can occupy: Figure out creative ways to change the minor use permits and the zoning when possible without the cost going to the child care center owner or director who won't be able to aƯord it . How about having some kind of stipulation for incoming developers to provide one child care center or home (for rent or for purchase) so that it can be another option for our community (and all of the new families to have space for their children to go when they go to work?) I've brought this up several times, but we have several parks and some city buildings that are not being used to their full capacity. Why not turn a community building into a child care center? Examples would be Meadow Park. This could reduce the fees that parents have to pay and provide a more equitable and inclusive space for children to attend. (I was unfortunately not surprised once more to see that we are in the "other" category instead of having a seat at the table.) Thank you for the space to provide some ideas and to be heard.

We have the opportunity to show oƯ our geologic wonders. Development with this in mind will keep our community unique and retain the soul of SLO. Right now we are selling our soul. Change this destructive trend before it is too late. Downtown is dying because of the parking rates. The city should be ashamed. There is VISUAL pollution occurring in SLO city. Yes, that's a thing. It happens when you can no longer see the natural geography and landscape. when you build the tallest hotel and parking structures at the tops of hills, you obscure the view and light for residents and visitors. I used to Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 56 Other/New Ideas love SLO because living here meant being in a city dedicated to preserving the environmental beauty of the area. But now, I hate to go downtown. I can't see what is beautiful for the built structures blocking it. That's an injustice to people who can't aƯord homes with scenic views. SLO was my scenic view. I've invested in this city. Now, this city is divesting me from what I most cherish: the beauty of the surrounding environment. There is a need NOW to prevent any more of this happening. City Planning, I'm looking at you. It is diƯicult for the city council to get an accurate picture of what is happening in significant groups of constituencies who may not have the time, technical capabilities, or energy to advocate for their needs or perspective on impending city proposals (e.g low come families with multiple jobs, the disabled, ethnic groups, senior citizens and probably a long list of others). They are often lost in the enthusiasm displayed by an initiative’s advocates. While district representation might have helped, that is not the direction the council has chosen, so exploring other alternatives are necessary. For example, developing projects with specific Cal Poly programs (e.g. Social Sciences, City and Regional Planning) that might be able to develop a more robust community feedback loop that targets these harder to connect with groups and extends over time, giving students experience in the chosen professions while not being prohibitively costly to the city finances. Having the interests of all groups of constituents in mind when considering important community proposals would go a long way in creating a more inclusive and livable community. Why doesn’t the City council post the agenda items online? I want to attend a meeting about the foolishness that goes on with some of the students of our town. Why do students that tear up our town and through their “sense of entitlement “ think that they have rights to do so , get away with it? I lived through the Cal Poly riots (Poly Royal chaos in the early 90’s. ) Things have continued to get worse and the city of San Luis continues to put up with this. I attended Cal Poly in the mid to late 70’s. I believe we had two or three bars in town. How many do we have now? Way too many. We didn’t have the magnitude of trouble that we have now. The city of San Luis needs to play hard ball with these students. If any other tax paying citizens from San Luis did some of the foolish things that students get away with, ( drunk in public, damage to property, excessive noise, threats to neighbors, etc) they would be arrested and rightfully so. City Council members need to stand up and do what is right for the law law abiding / tax paying citizens of our town. Remember most of these students don’t vote for you. The citizens of San Luis Obispo do. Also the students are here for maybe four or five years. I find it interesting that the SLO City Council cares more about tree removal and re -planting more trees in our city, then they do about dealing with the “entitled” students that cause trouble in San Luis Obispo chronically. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 57 Other/New Ideas Remember March 17 will be here soon. Will the city be prepared for the foolishness by college students and their friends that can be predicted?????? My guess is. probably not. We ought to consider attracting more mental health/addiction recovery/life skills facilities for the unhoused/marginalized community. Many of the unhoused are unhoused because they don't have the skills to function successfully in life. It's not always about the housing...even if they have housing they just can't function like we do to stay in housing. They need a strong social safety net (i.e. mental health services, addiction recovery services, and life skills classes/coaches). Perhaps, the police department, as part of their community policing eƯorts ought to form a consortium with local churches to provide outreach to vulnerable communities. We have days for and weeks for and months for celebrating and recognizing various themes. People who walk walk all year round. We would benefit from celebrating and making more visible those individuals and that activity. Consider following other programs and timing and begin with a "pedestrian" week where incentives promote walking, discussion illuminate pedestrian law, current and future infrastructure is showcased. Mental Health Just as a thought regarding the event process, it might be beneficial to provide the list of topics for ranking prior to the meeting so memebers in the community can come to the event with questions for the subject matter experts. But overall it was a great experience thanks! Please, add more public restrooms for everyone. Prioritize smart spending. Rid of unnecessary government positions and programs. Pay attention to how the progressive cities have fallen into chaos and reinstate order and sensibility to the prioritization of public spending and projects. Resolution to Divest from Israel Please reduce special interest projects that are obviously pet projects that do not ultimately benefit the community. Listen to the election results. Listen to the voice of the people Incorporate rules preventing corporations from purchasing single family homes and real estate Support for undocumented people. Sanctuary city. Utilizing the newly enacted brewery catering license by the ABC. This is an opportunity to broaden the community options to host small events with a focus on social interaction and arts and cultural diversity Please support the Waterman project. One new idea would be to have more options to meet the needs of the community in the drop downs that people are voting on tonight. There was never an option to “discontinue” something. Instead your drop downs were all about continuing the city’s eƯorts towards that goal. There are some goals that slo residents should be able to say they don’t want to see continued as a city goal. Ban gas-powered leaf-blowers! Dedicate more resources to Pacific Beach High School to help students with transportation to and from school More patrol oƯicers to discourage distracted and aggressive drivers who put bicyclists and pedestrians at great risk and encourage bicyclists to obey the law. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 58 Other/New Ideas I would like the city to aquire, design, and implement a protected bike lane on the East/West corridor of Tank Farm Road. (Part of the Tier One projects).This road is one of the most heavily traƯicked roads in the city and yet one of the only routes to get across the city by bicycle. It’s extremely unsafe in its current state (state law is 3ft to pass and this is rarely followed and certainly not enforced) This improvement would be an incredible asset to our cycling community and visitors alike! Invest in intersectional projects (benefiting more than one dpt). E.g DEI + Tourism, Climate + Housing, etx i Important to Consider wildlife corridors within the city and the surrounding areas Increase DEI funding for nonprofits, considering federal changes. Reopening permitted parking districts because the occupancy housing laws have changed, which is bringing in far more cars into residential neighborhoods than before. It's not uncommon for a house to have 8+ cars. Please reopen the parking district program! We are in the Foothills neighborhood. Divert money from police anti-houseless actions such as sweeps and harassment to safe parking programs and mental health services In addition to the Safe Parking program, the City should find a location for short-term van-life parking, for folks who are traveling or living full-time in their vans/campers. The location could be a luxury experience with hotel/resort-level amenities, food trucks, pool, etc. Get rid of DEI Defund the police Disaster preparedness Research and explore Geoship, geodesic housing structures that are fireproof, earthquake- resistant, and built with nontoxic bioceramic materials, and mold-free City should fulfil 1989 commitment to build a park at 466 Dana St at the Rose Butron Adobe. If the City has money to build a park in the Orcutt area, they can surely aƯord to build this park, and not turn it into a homeless shelter Consider constructing Pickleball Courts at Laguna Lake Park Addressing toxic tobacco waste: establish an electronic smoking device take back program and require tobacco and cannabis retailers to have an (environmental) HazMat Management Plan Please please please bring the righetti ranch neighborhoods some parks for our kids to play at. We need them asap and they would mean so much to all the families living here that were promised parks Parks!!! Build Righetti Ranch Park. Prioritize construction of the Orcutt Area Specific Plan park (Righetti), which is over 4 years overdue Build the pickleball courts at righetti ranch now! They are really needed due to great demand. Increase oversight within the city with tenant protection. Cap the amount of land ownership so not one person could own more than(said amount of building) ex for airbnbs Tenant protections, Wrest control from private and corporate landlords. Empower long-time renters to invest in their housing security via transfer of properties to public housing. Renter/tenant protections must be incorporated as a major city goal and priority. This interconnects with all current city priorities. Open-Ended Responses to Station Other Ideas 59 Other/New Ideas Also climate resilience & DEI is crucial now more than ever. Please keep these as city priorities and focus on the intersection of both priorities as climate justice. Importantly, centering Indigenous leadership whenever possible Expanding Tenant Protections when we know the Federal funds will be cut drastically. Keeps people housed and is the ultimate homeless prevention program. Improving Tenant Protections-rent Registry. Rent cap and renovictions Code enforcement hotline for tenant protections Substantially increase tenant protections to prevent no fault evictions, enhance rental safety standards, and increase accessibility to legal resources for tenants Increase Tenant and Eviction Protections so our families, children , students and our artists have safe, aƯordable and secure housing. Increase tenant and eviction protection programs Rethink code enforcement to be more oriented towards renter protections 뇤눎눐눑눒눏 1 Forum Results Summary Contents Forum Results Summary .............................................................................................................. 1 What is your favorite thing about San Luis Obispo? .................................................................... 1 Housing Safety, AƯordability, and Neighborhood Livability ......................................................... 2 Climate Action and Open Space................................................................................................ 3 Homelessness Response ......................................................................................................... 4 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion .................................................................................................. 4 Downtown Vitality and Economic Development ......................................................................... 6 Fiscal Sustainability .................................................................................................................. 6 Local Revenue Measure ............................................................................................................ 8 Infrastructure and Sustainable/Multimodal Transportation ........................................................ 8 Public Safety .......................................................................................................................... 10 Other/New Ideas .................................................................................................................... 10 E-Mails ................................................................................................................................... 11 Results of the Community Priorities Survey ............................................................................. 11 What is your favorite thing about San Luis Obispo? 124 Votes 2 Housing Safety, AƯordability, and Neighborhood Livability 234 Total responses to the poll: Housing Safety, AƯordability, and Neighborhood Vitality Other Ideas (60 total responses).

I am a CP graduate and a retired 30 year employee of Marin Probation, the last 11 as Chief. Currently reside in Templeton Viewpoint The recent Editorial regarding Illegal Cal Poly frat housing creating hell for neighbors caught my attention. I agree with the Editor’s point that Cal Poly is failing to uphold their end to this dangerous community issue. The main point that stuck out for me was policy decisions versus legislative mandates. As pointed out in the article, Sacramento, Fresno and Chico State Universities supply the addresses of these off-campus functions. I sincerely doubt that the legal counsel for these universities would outwardly defy law and subject the university to unnecessary litigation. It’s a policy decision by Cal Poly and they are making the wrong choice. They are not being team players for our community. I shouldn’t have to remind Cal Poly that the behaviors of these young partygoers directly affect children that must go to school the next day and the parents needing to work. There is an old saying that nothing good happens after 2 a.m. and this is when sexual assaults occur, DUI’s (sometimes resulting in death or great bodily injury), vandalism and all the other problems that occur with public drunkenness. Most city managers don’t have an extra $300K plus laying around in ongoing funds to pay for two more code enforcement officers. Asking Cal Poly to pony up is laughable. The District Attorney, Chief of Police, City Manager, School Superintendent and the public should demand that Cal Poly supply the addresses of these off-campus functions. It’s a policy decision. It needs to be reversed. Here is a potential solution. Most law enforcement agencies give their staff iPhones. If addresses were given in advance by Cal Poly, local police and others could see and prepare to take a proactive approach i.e. neighbors communicating, step up police patrols. This solution doesn’t cost us anything. Police investigators and patrol officers use computers and iPhones all the time to track and solve all kinds of other crimes and serious issues. This community issue is worthy of their attention. I would think by working smarter and getting ahead of a situation is better than patrol getting called into a chaotic scene. This would be a good start. Cal Poly, come to the table and talk. Be a team player. Be a concerned community member on behalf of families and victims of crime.

The locations provided do not have use permits approving the use of the property as a fraternity, so, if sponsored fraternity events were confirmed, it would be a violation of local ordinance. As a result of the complaint, our staff performed several inspections over the weekend and are currently organizing the evidence. We anticipate that several fraternal organizations will be found to have violated city ordinances regarding land use regulations. We would like to report these incidents to your office for investigation of possible misconduct by the associated organizations . If possible, can you have the appropriate person reach out to me to discuss a streamlined method of providing the evidence and documents to the appropriate person rather than using the online incident form which limits us to one incident/organization at a time.

Here is a brief update on what happened this weekend related to the fraternity rush events that we were made aware of: Code enforcement received complaints alleging possible unpermitted fraternities at 35 locations prior to rush events occurring the 17th-19th. In anticipation of rush events, code enforcement staff reviewed available social media posts and compiled a list of all possible locations in which events may occur. Staff patrolled the neighborhoods around CalPoly on Friday, Saturday and Sunday documenting any evidence of events occurring. Staff spoke directly with fraternity members at two locations on Friday, and were advised by residents that “no rush events were occurring” despite a large number of people in the rear yards, some wearing shirts with Greek letters. Some locations moved all operations to the rear yard upon learning that code enforcement was patrolling the neighborhood and refused to answer the door when attempting contact. On Saturday and Sunday, code enforcement staff patrolled the neighborhoods and took photos from the public right of way as appropriate. As a result of investigation, twelve locations were positively identified as hosting fraternity sponsored events. Code enforcement staff will be issuing notices of violation or citations (depending on previous level of enforcement) to each of the identified locations. An additional nine locations were identified as hosting some type of gathering; however, staff lacks the evidence to state it was fraternity sponsored. We will continue to investigate potential violations as we hear of them. Please let me know if you have questions!

I went out to the property located at 1304 Foothill Blvd and met with the fraternity Sigma Nu. I took a copy of the most recent notice of violation to review, and an opportunity to explain the current status of their existing land use permit. I explained the process and history behind acquiring the land use permit, how far back some of those permits go, the conditions attached to them, especially the ones most commonly violated/broken, and what ramifications can transpire from violating these conditions of the land use permit. I informed them that the permit was currently up for review before the planning commission and the possibility of the permit being revoked, probated, or elevated to stricter conditional parameters. I also reviewed the impact of their actions as a fraternity on the surrounding neighbors and community members, NOT conforming to the typical lifestyle of fraternity brothers or members (i.e., late-night parties, gatherings, rush events, etc.). Finally, I explained what they can do to prepare for going before members of the planning commission, city personnel, and the powers that be to represent their fraternity and all the philanthropic activities it offers to the community where it resides. Most importantly, what they can do to adjust or correct their overall behavior as a group, such as minding the noise, the trash, and the parking, and making an effort to reach out to their neighbors in an effort to remedy some of the strain that’s been imposed on the relationship between the fraternity and the surrounding community. Lastly, I informed them that it help other fraternities if they were to spread the word and talk amongst themselves about how they are able to approach this issue. I left a copy of the notice of violation with them, and they seemed to start gathering more and more members while I was still in sight to share the information.

The fraternity was cited for the following events: 330 Date of Citation Time of Citation SLOMC Violation # of people on site during citation issuance 02/01/2024 10:52 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 40 05/11/2024 3:30 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 100+ 11/01/2024 10:20 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 300 12/07/2024 10:38 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 30 The use permit (attached) does not allow for any meetings or gatherings involving persons other than fraternity members living on site between 10 PM and 9 AM (Condition #5), or any hosted Greek events other than what’s listed in the use permit (Condition #11). The issuance of the noise citations is also a violation of Condition #8 regarding adverse impacts on the persons in the vicinity of the use. Based on the evidence and verified violations, we issued a Notice of Violation on January 8, 2025, for use permit violations and are recommending review of the current use permit by the Planning Commission as described in Condition #4 of the issued use permit. I have attached the supporting documentation for your review. Let me know if you have any questions.

Individual safe parking site approvals that are to operate under the Program CUP are to be considered through an administrative process for a Director’s Action Permit in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 17.108.030. However, when the Planning Commission approved the Program CUP, the Commission requested that the first Director’s Action Permits being proposed for the Program be referred to the Planning Commission by the Director. Therefore, the Director has referred the request for the Community Action Partnership of San L uis Obispo County (CAPSLO) to operate five locations for the Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program to the Planning Commission at this time. Meeting Date: 1/22/2025 Item Number: 4a Time Estimate: 90 Minutes Page 11 of 52 Item 4a DIR-0612-2024; DIR-0639-2024; DIR-0640-2024; DIR-0641-2024; DIR-0642-2024 – CAPSLO Director’s Action Permit Applications for Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program Planning Commission Report – January 22, 2025 2.0 SUMMARY Since 2016, CAPSLO has operated a Safe Parking Program that provides overnight parking for individuals experiencing vehicular homelessness. CAPSLO’s 40 Prado Safe Parking Program currently provides overnight safe parking for up to 12 vehicles and RVs on site at 40 Prado Homeless Services Center. In addition to the 40 Prado Safe Parking Program, CAPSLO also operated the Railroad Safe Parking Program under the City’s Emergency Proclamation from March 2021 to August 2023 to provide safe shelter options for individuals experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 Pandemic. In advance of the Railroad Safe Parking Program concluding in August 2023, CAPSLO and the City began collaborating with local faith community partners to develop a Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program to provide expanded safe parking opportunities at various sites throughout the community. While host site locations and funding sources were being identified, CAPSLO applied for a Conditional Use Permit to establish CAPSLO as a Safe Parking Program Administrator to oversee Safe Parking sites at various locations throughout the City. On July 12, 2023, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. USE-0304-2023 (Program CUP) , which approved CAPSLO to operate a Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Program (Program). As outlined in the Program CUP, a Director’s Action Permit application is required for each proposed safe parking site to be considered for app roval. Safe Parking locations added to the program are to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis through a Director’s Action Permit to ensure that locations are consistent with Municipal Code Chapter 17.10 Table 2-1 (Uses Allowed by Zone) and Chapter 17.86.230 (Safe Parking Regulations). CAPSLO submitted Director’s Action Permit applications for the first five sites being proposed for review as part of the Program and the Community Development Director has referred the Director’s Action Permits to the Planni ng Commission for consideration. An additional sixth site, located outside of City limits, is also proposed to be part of the Program but does not require City permit approval. In total, the proposed Program (see Attachment B) would consist of three sites on City- owned property and three sites hosted by faith-based organizations as described below in Table 1. If any or all of the Director’s Action Permits are approved by the Planning Commission, CAPSLO will execute Memorandums of Understanding with each property owner outlining each partner’s responsibilities as well as site specific requirements and conditions as directed by the Commission. Program implementation will be dependent on funding availability. The goal of the Program is to develop a model that can be replicated on a larger scale countywide to address regional safe parking needs.

The conditional use permit was amended on January 24, 2024, to increase the number of safe parking spaces from 7 to 12 spaces and to modify the hours of operation (MOD-0578-2023). The 40 Prado Overnight Safe Parking Program provides unhoused individuals a safe place to temporarily park a vehicle overnight to facilitate the transition to permanent housing. In addition to the 40 Prado Safe Parking Program, the City an d CAPSLO implemented the Railroad Safe Parking Program in March 2021. The Railroad site was initially established under the City’s Emergency Proclamation1 to provide safe shelter options for individuals and families experiencing homelessness during the COVID -19 Pandemic. The Railroad Safe Parking Program proved to be a viable safe parking model, demonstrated through the following successful housing outcomes. From September 1, 2022, through June 1, 2023, the program averaged 15 vehicles per night and served an average of 32 unique individuals every two weeks. Over that period, the program connected 36 individuals with permanent housing, reunified 9 participants with family and helped 5 individuals find jobs. When the statewide COVID-19 emergency order was lifted, the City explored the option to continue the Safe Parking program at the Railroad site. However, upon further review with neighboring businesses and community members in proximity to the site, participants of the program, and operators of the Union Pacific Railroad, it was determined that other locations in the community may be more viable. With the closure of the Railroad site, CAPSLO transitioned to operating the overnight safe parking program solely at 40 Prado Homeless Services Center. From September 2023 to September 2024, CAPSLO reported 55 program enrollments and 30 exits to housing. As of December 2024, there were 232 households on the refe rral list for the 40 Prado Safe Parking Program. 1 On August 18, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11149 (2020 Series) affirming the actions of the Emergency Services Director by Emergency Services Director Proclamation No. 5, which was adopted on August 7, 2020. Through the two actions, the City found that emergency measures were necessary to support and facilitate the expansion of safe parking facilities for unhoused persons in order to minimize exposure to the elements that compromise health, to minimize risks of sustained close contact and congregation to mitigate transmission of COVID- 19, and to advance social distancing and personal hygiene protocols necessary to prevent or minimize the spread of COVID-19 and protect the public health, safety, welfare and economic security of the citizens of San Luis Obispo. Page 13 of 52 Item 4a DIR-0612-2024; DIR-0639-2024; DIR-0640-2024; DIR-0641-2024; DIR-0642-2024 – CAPSLO Director’s Action Permit Applications for Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program Planning Commission Report – January 22, 2025 Over the past year, CAPSLO worked with the City to identify various locations that could accommodate the proposed Program including existing religious facilities, private landowners, and City owned properties. The proposed Program would allow overnight safe parking on a temporary rotating basis for an eligible property, which would further minimize disruptions of operations at any one particular site. The proposed Program has been modeled after successful rotating programs throughout the state, including the City of Fremont’s Safe Parking Host Site Program which utilizes faith-based sites on a rotational basis. Per the Program CUP (USE-0304-2023) and consistent with the Zoning Regulations, the Program would be allowed at the five proposed sites within the parameters described below:  With approval of a Director’s Action Permit, at each site that demonstrates compliance with all performance standards of Municipal Code Section 17.86.230 and with all requirements of the Program CUP, including; o The Program CUP may be subsequently reviewed at an Administrative Hearing if written complaints are received and substantiated by information and evidence that a violation of the Program CUP or Municipal Code has occurred. o A maximum number of vehicles is to be established for each site. o The hours of operation shall be limited to 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. with check in no earlier than 6:00 p.m. o Participant vehicles shall maintain a minimum buffer of fifty feet from any property that contains a residential use. o Participants are to be connected to case management to facilitate permanent housing placements and service referrals. o Program Administrator shall implement a Neighborhood Relations Plan and a Monitoring and Oversight Plan for each safe parking location. o Access to water, restrooms, and trash facilities shall be maintained at each site for participant usage during program hours. 3.2 Homelessness Response Strategic Plan The City has established preventing and addressing homelessness as a key priority in alignment with its Major City Goal for Housing and Homelessness and the SLO Countywide Plan to Address Homelessness. According to 2024 Point in Time Count Data, the number of people experiencing homelessness in the City of San Luis Obispo was 512 individuals. Of those individuals, 140 reported a vehicle as their sleeping accommodation which accounts for 27% of the City’s homeless population. Countywide, 68% of the 1,175 individuals experiencing homelessness in 2024 were experiencing unsheltered homelessness, meaning that they reside in places not meant for human habitation including public spaces, vehicles, and abandoned buildings. Page 14 of 52 Item 4a DIR-0612-2024; DIR-0639-2024; DIR-0640-2024; DIR-0641-2024; DIR-0642-2024 – CAPSLO Director’s Action Permit Applications for Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program Planning Commission Report – January 22, 2025 On March 21, 2023, the City Council adopted the Homelessness Response Strategic Plan, which outlines the City’s role in implementing strategies to prevent homelessness and connect individuals experiencing homelessness to services and housing. One of the goals outlined in the Strategic Plan reads as follows: “Collaborate with the County to develop scalable and replicable programs to connect those experiencing homelessness to a variety of shelter and housing options through timely outreach, and advocate for County implementation of successful programs.” The Safe Parking Program was specifically identified as a key task under the Str ategic Plan with the intent of working with the faith-based community to develop safe parking options throughout the community. The proposed Program is intended to implement the objectives under the Strategic Plan. The County has been supportive of the program and is in the process of identifying potential funding opportunities. 4.0 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Program Overview CAPSLO, in partnership with the City of SLO and local faith-based organizations, will operate the Program in coordination with the existing 12-space 40 Prado Overnight Safe Parking Program at the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center. The Program will expand overnight parking locations for households living in their vehicles by providing 12 additional parking spaces at rotating ‘host sites’. The proposed Program will operate within the hours of 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. for site check-in and within the hours of 7:00 p.m.- 7:00 a.m. for vehicle parking. The Program will rotate monthly to sites hosted by faith- based organizations and City owned properties. CAPSLO staff will oversee participant referrals and intake, onsite check-in and check-out at host site locations, site monitoring, program operations, and case management to assist in facilitating participants’ transition to permanent housing. The Program is intended to pilot for a duration of up to two years depending on funding availability; however, the Program CUP and approved Director’s Action Permits for the Program allow continuation without an end date. If during the proposed one to two-year pilot timeframe, the program is successful in providing shelter, services and connecting participants to housing options, CAPSLO intends to continue the Program pending additional funding availability. It is also anticipated that if proved successful, CAPSLO may request that it be scaled up to provide expanded capacity in the City by submitting Director’s Action Permit applications for additional sites to be reviewed and considered. CAPSLO may also explore ways to expand capacity throughout the county through other programming and funding opportunities. Page 15 of 52 Item 4a DIR-0612-2024; DIR-0639-2024; DIR-0640-2024; DIR-0641-2024; DIR-0642-2024 – CAPSLO Director’s Action Permit Applications for Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program Planning Commission Report – January 22, 2025 Participant Requirements Program participants will be required to be 18 years of age and must have an active Driver’s License, vehicle registration, and auto insurance2. Case management will be required for program participation and all vehicles must be operable. A Megan’s Law check (Registered Sex Offender Registry) will be completed for all participants and individuals with this criminal background status will not be e ligible for participation. Participants will be required to enter a behavior contract with CAPSLO, agreeing to adhere to all program rules and policies (Attachment C; see also SLO Municipal Code Section 17.86.230(E)(9)). Liability Requirements Each host site location will be listed as an additional insured on CAPSLO’s General Liability Policy and provided with a Certificate of Liability. CAPSLO will execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with each host site, outlining any site-specific requirements. Operations will not commence at a safe parking site until an MOU has been executed. Traffic Control Requirements Access to the designated safe parking area on each host site property will be limited to program participants during the program hours of 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. for check-in and 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. daily to ensure the safety of participants and community members3. CAPSLO will utilize temporary barriers to section off the designated safe parking area at each host site location. The barriers will be put in place each evening and removed each morning by CAPSLO staff. Site Security CAPSLO staff will be on-site to check-in participants from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. nightly and to check-out participants4 between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. each morning. CAPSLO staff will also do periodic site checks approximately every 2 hours throughout the night to verify participant vehicle information and address any on-site issues. A dedicated CAPSLO staff member will be on call to address any on-site issues during program hours. CAPSLO will also provide a designated point of contact that program participants and community members may contact via phone or e-mail with any issues or concerns related to the program (See Attachments D, E and F). CAPSLO will assign a participant Site Captain to serve as the on -site point of contact. The Site Captain will contact CAPSLO staff to report any issues or complaints. CAPSLO 2 Households with minors will be prioritized for shelter through the Housing Focused Shelter Program at 40 Prado Homeless Services Center. 3 Some sites may have slightly modified hours to accommodate specific site operations. For example, the City Corporation Yard site will accommodate the program from 6:00 pm to 6:00 a.m. 4 CAPSLO will require participant check-out for the Corp Yard from 5:30 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. Page 16 of 52 Item 4a DIR-0612-2024; DIR-0639-2024; DIR-0640-2024; DIR-0641-2024; DIR-0642-2024 – CAPSLO Director’s Action Permit Applications for Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program Planning Commission Report – January 22, 2025 staff and/or the Site Captain will contact 911 or the SLOPD Non -Emergency number to report any incidents or issues – including non-participant entry into the parking lot and transient individuals loitering in the safe parking area – and SLOPD will respond to requests for enforcement. SLOPD will patrol host site locations as resources allow. CAPSLO will issue parking permits to each participant to clearly identify registered program participants. Vehicle information (make, model, license plate number) for all confirmed participants will be provided to each host site and SLOPD on a monthly basis for monitoring and enforcement purposes. An ADA accessible portable restroom, wash station, and trash dumpster will be provided at each site for participant use during site operation. Outside of program hours, locks will be placed on the portable restroom and dumpster to prohibit use of the facilities by non - program participants. Portable restroom, wash station and trash dumpsters will be removed and relocated to each host site consistent with program rotation. 5.0 PROJECT ANALYSIS The Program CUP included findings for General Plan consistency. Director Actions for host sites must demonstrate consistency with the standards and limitations of the Zoning Regulations and in accordance with the Program CUP. Staff has evaluated the project’s consistency with relevant requirements and has found it to be in substantial compliance, as discussed in this analysis. 5.1 Consistency with the Zoning Regulations and Program CUP In accordance with Zoning Regulations Chapter 17.10.020 Table 2 -1 (Uses Allowed by Zone), safe parking activities are conditionally allowed subject to a Conditional Use Permit. In July 2023, CAPSLO was approved as a Safe Parking Administrator provided host sites each met the zoning provisions and operated in accordance with Safe Parking Regulations Section 17.86.230(C). The Program CUP also included that the maximum number of vehicles be specified, the hours of operation would be from 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. for check in purposes and within 7:00 pm to 7:00 a.m. for vehicle parking. Host Site Locations Six sites have been identified as rotating host sites for the proposed Program, including one site that is located outside of City limits. Prior to Program commencement, and upon approval of the Director’s Action Permits, CAPSLO will execute a Memorandum of Understanding with each site to ensure compliance with all Municipal Code and Program CUP requirements. Page 17 of 52 Item 4a DIR-0612-2024; DIR-0639-2024; DIR-0640-2024; DIR-0641-2024; DIR-0642-2024 – CAPSLO Director’s Action Permit Applications for Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program Planning Commission Report – January 22, 2025 Each host site will accommodate up to 12 vehicles. A site plan for each proposed location is included in Attachment G and identifies the specific locations for each designated safe parking area. Municipal Code Section 17.10.020 Table 2-1 allows safe parking in every zone except Agriculture (AG), Conservation/Open Space (C/OS) or Business Park (BP). No proposed sites are located in the AG, C/OS, or BP zoning districts. Site location, ownership and zoning information, anticipated frequency of program use, and hours of operation are outlined in Table 1 below. Table 1.

CAPSLO’s Monitoring and Oversight Plan is included as Attachment E and condition No. 4 -h of the draft resolution (Attachment A). Required Findings Below is a summary of site-specific information for each of the proposed safe parking locations and a description of how each location meets the required findings outlined in the attached resolution. Each site overview includes confirmation of the following requirements: 50-foot buffer from safe parking vehicle spaces to properties with a residential use, adequate on-site lighting, designated portable restroom and trash receptacle location, and a designated ADA parking space. 1. Calle Joaquin Park and Ride (1545 Calle Joaquin) The Calle Joaquin Park and Ride is a City-owned parking lot on Calle Joaquin near the Hampton Inn & Suites. The surrounding parcels are zoned Tourist Commercial (C-T) and Conservation/Open Space (C/OS), ensuring a 50-foot buffer between the proposed locations of participant parking spaces and any property that contains a residential use as required by the municipal code. The site is adequately sized to accommodate the 12 proposed spaces as well as the restroom and wash facility and trash dumpster. The identified overnight safe parking spaces do not interfere with parking spaces allocated for future electric charging. Entry and exit points have been identified for the site, and the site provides appropriate access and egress for safe parking users. The site consists of at least two lighting posts near the designated parking spots, which will provide adequate lighting for the safe parking participants. See Attachment G for the site plan demonstrating garbage bin and portable restroom locations, designated parking areas including one ADA parking space, and entry/exit routes. The Calle Joaquin Park and Ride site will be prioritized for utilization during non-peak tourism months to accommodate increased utilization of neighboring hotel properties. 2. City Corporation Yard (25 Prado Road) The City Corporation Yard is a City-owned facility located at 25 Prado Road. The surrounding areas consist of Service Commercial (C-S) and Office (O) zones, ensuring a 50-foot residential buffer. The site consists of a lighting post near the designated parking spots. See Attachment G for the site plan demonstrating garbage bin and portable restroom locations, designated parking areas including one ADA parking space, and entry/exit routes. The designated parking spaces at the Corporation Yard were selected to provide separation from the designated staff parking area. Proposed hours of operation for this site are 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. as stated in condition 4-b of the draft resolution (Attachment A). This is to accommodate staff arrival times at that facility, which begins between 6:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. daily. Page 20 of 52 Item 4a DIR-0612-2024; DIR-0639-2024; DIR-0640-2024; DIR-0641-2024; DIR-0642-2024 – CAPSLO Director’s Action Permit Applications for Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program Planning Commission Report – January 22, 2025 The City Corporation Yard site will be prioritized fo r utilization during the months of April to September to accommodate potential increased staff utilization during inclement winter weather. Municipal Code Section 17.86.230(F)(3) requires sufficient distance between safe parking facilities. This site is located across Prado Road from the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center which includes an overnight safe parking facility. However, the 40 Prado overnight safe parking area is in the rear parking lot of the 40 Prado HSC there is adequate separation (more than 100 feet between the sites’ parking areas ). Further, since both sites are managed by CAPSLO, the proximity allows more efficient monitoring by CAPSLO staff. 3. Damon Garcia Sports Complex Parking Lot (680 Industrial Way) The Damon Garcia Sports Complex is a City-owned facility located at 680 Industrial Way. The surrounding areas are zoned Business Park (BP), Service Commercial (C-S), and Community Commercial (C-C), which ensures a 50-foot buffer from residential use. The site consists of various lighting posts for additional security. Designated parking areas including one ADA parking space, garbage bin and portable restroom locations, and entry/exit routes can be seen in the site plan (see Attachment G). Traffic barriers will be utilized at this location to prevent non -participant entry into the parking lot during program hours. Barriers will be installed by CAPSLO staff prior to check - in and removed during check-out. The Damon Garcia Sports Complex Parking lot will only be available for utilization during the months of June and July when the facility is closed for maintenance. The designated parking area was selected to accommodate maintenance equipment and materials that will be stored in other areas of the parking lot during the facility’s maintenance closure. 4. Journey Christian Fellowship (317 Foothill Boulevard) This property is owned by Journey Christian Fellowship. The surrounding uses are Low- Density Residential (R-1) however the 50-ft. residential buffer between the safe parking area and residential uses to the north, south, and west is met due to the large size of the church property and non-residential use of church facilities. The property immediately to the east at 335 Foothill contains a residential structure within the 50-foot residential buffer to the east of the proposed vehicle parking area. This property is owned by Journey Christian Fellowship; City staff have confirmed that it is not used as a residence and that it is used for church programming on Sundays outside of the program’s hours (6 p.m. to 7 a.m.). The site contains a light fixture by the designated ADA parking area for added security. Designated parking areas including one ADA parking space, garbage bin and portable restroom locations, and entry/exit routes can be seen in the site plan (see Attachment G). The Journey Christian Fellowship site will be utilized during months that best accommodate the congregation’s programming and services.

Renovate Church (2075 Johnson Avenue) This property is owned by Renovate Church and the surrounding uses are Moderate - Density Residential (R-2). The 50-foot residential buffer is met, and the designated parking area located within the church parking lot was selected to maximize the buffer from residential properties. The site contains two lighting structures that provide additional security for the designated parking stalls, portable restrooms, and ADA parking space. The site plan demonstrates the location of the designated parking area including one ADA parking space, garbage bin and portable restroom locations, and entry/exit routes (see Attachment G). The Renovate Church site will be utilized during months that best accommodate the congregation’s programming and services. 6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed Program has been evaluated at each of the proposed site locations , and as the Program is intended to serve as a Low Barrier Navigation Center, it is a use by right/ministerial activity exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by California Government Code Section 65660(b), in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15268 (exemption for ministerial projects) and 15061(b)(1). Additionally, under California Public Resources Code Section 21080.10(c) (pursuant to SB 1361), actions taken by local agencies to approve a contract for providing services for people experiencing homelessness are exempt from CEQA review. Issuing this Director’s Action Permit will allow the City to enter into an agreement with CAPSLO to provide ser vices for people experiencing homelessness. The project is also exempt under the Class 32 categorial exemption for in-fill development (CEQA Guidelines Section 15332.) Finally, the project has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environmen t and is therefore exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). 7.0 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT Since January 2023, City and CAPSLO staff have been meeting monthly with key stakeholders from the faith community to discuss homelessness response priorities and partnership opportunities, including safe parking. Through that stakeholder engagement process, the Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program model was developed and refined. Page 22 of 52 Item 4a DIR-0612-2024; DIR-0639-2024; DIR-0640-2024; DIR-0641-2024; DIR-0642-2024 – CAPSLO Director’s Action Permit Applications for Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program Planning Commission Report – January 22, 2025 In advance of this Planning Commission hearing, CAPSLO hosted a community information session to inform property owners, tenants, and neighboring businesses of the proposed program and to address any questions or concerns. Notices for the community meeting were mailed to all tenants and property owners within 300 feet of each of the proposed safe parking locations. The community information session was held on January 15, 2025, at the CAPSLO office located at 1030 Southwood Dr in San Luis Obispo. Separate hearing notices were mailed to the same tenants and property owners withi n 300 feet of each of the five proposed locations informing them of the Planning Commission hearing. Public notice of the hearing was also published in a widely circulated local newspaper and hearing agendas for this meeting were posted at City Hall, consistent with required notification procedures. City staff also conducted outreach in person and via email to community partners and businesses adjacent to each of the proposed safe parking sites. 8.0 OTHER DEPARTMENT COMMENTS The proposed Program has been reviewed by various City departments and divisions including Planning, Housing & Homelessness, Public Works, Utilities, Parks and Recreation, Police, Fire, Parking, Code Enforcement, and the City Attorney’s Office. City Public Works and Utilities, Parks and Recreation, and Transportation facilities are included as proposed host sites. Comments received have been incorporated into the draft resolution as conditions of approval. Additionally, the proposed Program has been considered by the Homelessness Response Steering Committee5 for consistency with the City’s Homelessness Response Strategic Plan. 9.0 ALTERNATIVES 1.

The fraternity was cited for the following events: Date of Citation Time of Citation SLOMC Violation # of people on site during citation issuance 02/01/2024 10:52 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 40 05/11/2024 3:30 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 100+ 11/01/2024 10:20 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 300 12/07/2024 10:38 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 30 The use permit (attached) does not allow for any meetings or gatherings involving persons other than fraternity members living on site between 10 PM and 9 AM (Condition #5), or any hosted Greek events other than what’s listed in the use permit (Condition #11). The issuance of the noise citations is also a violation of Condition #8 regarding adverse impacts on the persons in the vicinity of the use. Based on the evidence and verified violations, we issued a Notice of Violation on January 8, 2025, for use permit violations and are recommending review of the current use permit by the Planning Commission as described in Condition #4 of the issued use permit. I have attached the supporting documentation for your review. Let me know if you have any questions.

The fraternity was cited for the following events: Date of Citation Time of Citation SLOMC Violation # of people on site during citation issuance 02/01/2024 10:52 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 40 05/11/2024 3:30 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 100+ 11/01/2024 10:20 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 300 12/07/2024 10:38 PM 9.12.050A – Noise disturbance 30 The use permit (attached) does not allow for any meetings or gatherings involving persons other than fraternity members living on site between 10 PM and 9 AM (Condition #5), or any hosted Greek events other than what’s listed in the use permit (Condition #11). The issuance of the noise citations is also a violation of Condition #8 regarding adverse impacts on the persons in the vicinity of the use. Based on the evidence and verified violations, we issued a Notice of Violation on January 8, 2025, for use permit violations and are recommending review of the current use permit by the Planning Commission as described in Condition #4 of the issued use permit. I have attached the supporting documentation for your review. Let me know if you have any questions.

We are simultaneously seeking to obtain all information regarding documented fraternity activities in our community that we believe are legally required to be provided by Cal Poly. I am not in a position to share the details of our strategic analysis or specific details of the next steps in our enforcement plans at this stage, but please know we share your frustration with those organizations, landlords and residents whose activities are adversely impacting our community and the peace and quiet enjoyment of their neighbors. We will continue to enforce using available tools and resources to the greatest extent possible, while continuing to explore more effective and comprehensive ways to bring conduct in the neighborhoods into compliance with City codes and community civility expectations and in a manner that most efficiently and effectively deploys limited resources. In the meantime, it is helpful for you and others to continue sharing any information and documentation of conduct you or other residents may be observing to support the case that certain homes in R-1 and R-2 areas are operating as illegal fraternities. We appreciate the information you have provided to date, as well as your patience as we work within existing resources to develop and implement the most effective available enforcement tools. One thing I would like to explore is a centralized repository into which relevant information can be deposited to avoid fragmented communication and inefficiencies related to multiple people receiving piecemeal communications, information and documentation. Timmi, other involved Departments and staff and I can discuss that in greater detail and circle back to you with ideas that may serve us all better. To that end, I have included Chief Scott on this distribution.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Hi Christine, In 1989, the city attorney brought a case against an unpermitted fraternity house on Foothill. Community Development, SLOPD, and the city attorney worked together and the matter was resolved swiftly. In that case, the fraternity was operating in an R4 zone but did not have a conditional use permit. A SLOPD officer submitted a sworn declaration and the case was prosecuted for violation of SLOMC 17.22.010 and 17.02.030. Can the same municipal code violation be used again, wherein a resident files a complaint with SLOPD against a fraternity operating illegally in R1 and R2 residential zones? These illegal fraternity operations have caused ongoing extreme disruptions to the neighbors for several years. There is no way for the fraternities to get a conditional use permit because they are not allowed to operate in R1 and R2 zones, but their operations in these neighborhoods is what is so egregious and make it impossible to have the quiet enjoyment of our property. I have attached the previous case. Please let me know how the residents living in Alta Vista and Monterey Heights can use this process to hold illegal fraternity operations responsible, and hopefully get some semblance of peace back in our lives. This is a timeline of what happened back then. I've attached the Agenda from 1989 for your reference. 371 This approach could be used in conjunction with obtaining the addresses of fraternity events registered with Greek Life from Cal Poly. I submitted multiple records requests and was told the information would not be disclosed for privacy reasons, which does not apply to this case because the addresses do not give any personally identifiable information specific to a particular student (FERPA). I prepared a response using case law to show that FERPA does not apply to the addresses and Cal Poly responded that fraternities are "independent organizations" not affiliated with the university, therefore the information will not be disclosed. Cal Poly used the "catch-all" exemption without any reference to why it applies, despite the requirement to do so as that exemption is narrowly construed. The only way that Cal Poly will disclose the addresses is by filing a Writ of Mandate. I researched this issue at the law library and prepared a Writ, though it's probably not great because I'm not a lawyer, there is a lot of case law that supports the position that Cal Poly must disclose those records. The fees and costs for filing a Writ when an agency wrongfully withholds records are recoverable so Cal Poly would also have the financial burden of any fees and costs expended. I'm not sure how that works with a public agency but that's how it works for private individuals or the press. Please let me know if the residents can move forward with complaints through SLOPD for some of the more egregious fraternity operations, using the same method used in 1989. Thank you, Kathie Walker Timeline: July 1988: Alpha Upsilon Alumni Corporation purchased the property located at 720 and 726 Foothill Boulevard. It is two units: a one bedroom and a three bedroom. It is zoned R-4 which allows a fraternity, but they did not apply for a conditional use permit. August 1988: The City receives a complaint that it may be operating as a fraternity. August 22, 1988: Judith Lautner, Associate Planner for the City, wrote to the fraternity: “A Planning Commission use permit must be approved to allow a Fraternity at this address. If you intend to establish such a use, you or a local representative must apply for this use permit immediately. I have enclosed materials for such an application.” September - October, 1988: Fall Rush week activities were announced for week of October 6- 12, 1988. All activities are to take place on the premises. October 1, 1988: Owners of adjacent apartments complain to the Community Development Department re: failure of the Fraternity to have proper use permit. October 4, 1988: Letter to City from fraternity which cites recent purchase of property (4 months). “It has been our full intention from start to obtain a use permit to function at this property. " Mentions "working towards a use permit application.” Regarding the issue of Rush week events: “This problem has been corrected and we fully intend to hold no functions at this address.” October 6 –12, 1988: The fraternity continued to advertise and hold functions, in contradiction to their written advisement to the City. In the spring of 1989, still without a use permit, the fraternity held more functions at this address. On March 1, 1989, SLOPD officer Ian Parkinson was dispatched to the fraternity location by the adjacent property owners and manager. According to the police report, “All 3 subjects stated this is an ongoing problem and the fraternity has found a way to circumvent the City's use permits and is still having their fraternity rushes and parties at the residence. They requested that a report be written, and they strongly requested a complaint against the fraternity.” The Police Report was forwarded to the city attorney for a complaint to be brought against the fraternity. 372 On March 27, 2989, Ian Parkinson provided a declaration in support of a criminal complaint against Alpha Upsilon for violations of the SLOMC sections 17.02.030 and 17.22.010. On March 28, 1989, a letter was sent to the fraternity by the City Attorney Vicki Finucane that said: “Gentlemen: This is to advise you that a complaint has been filed against the Alpha Upsilon Fraternity in the San Luis Obispo Municipal Court, Criminal Division, for violation of the above-referenced code sections. Your arraignment has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 26. 1989, at 9: 00 a.m. in the Municipal Court. Division A. at 1050 Monterey Street. San Luis Obispo. Please plan to have a representative of Alpha Upsilon present at that time.” The fraternity was ordered by the Municipal Court of San Luis Obispo County to pay a fine, comply with the terms and conditions of probation, and apply for a use permit within 30 days. The fraternity did not comply with the court’s order to apply for the use permit within 30 days but applied for a use permit six weeks later, on June 6, 1989. August 9, 1989: Planning Commission held a hearing for a use permit. The Planning Commission heard testimony from several neighbors and owners of adjacent property. Much of the testimony related specific problems, caused by the fraternity members, with parking, noise, and disruptive behavior. The neighbors also offered evidence that the house has been operated as a fraternity house for approximately one year. Testimony was also given by citizens, who do not live or own property near the site, about the history of this particular fraternity. The fraternity previously had a use permit for a house on Palm Street. After several complaints and review hearings, the Planning Commission revoked that use permit. On appeal, the council took no action on that use permit because the fraternity was moving out. Based on public testimony, the Planning Commission found the use incompatible with the neighborhood and a threat to the health, safety, and general welfare of persons living or working nearby and denied the use permit. The fraternity appealed to the Planning Commission’s denial of their use permit. September 19, 1989: The City Council overturned the Planning Commission’s denial and granted a use permit with strict conditions. 376 From:kathie walker < Sent:Wednesday, January 22, 2025 5:14 PM To:McDonald, Whitney Subject:Fwd: Sigma Nu - 385 Chaplin signage has been up for three days but no violation? This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Whitney, Many, many illegal fraternity events were reported to code enforcement and yet were not verified, so not found to be a violation. It is especially frustrating because I provided the exact date, time, and address of events ahead of time (as I did during the fall 2024 rush) yet the events were still not verified, so were not found to be a violation. I am forwarding you one case in which the booth and signage from Sigma Nu is still up, 3 days after the event at 385 Chaplin, an R-1 residential neighborhood near our home. The signage was also up before the event yet code enforcement said they were unable to verify an event there so there is no violation. I have a video of the event as it was happening and could not have been missed! As I said, many rush events were held, as reported, but were not cited by the city. How are we going to solve this problem? Please, let's come up with a workable system to solve this issue.

You mentioned an Administrative Hearing Officer has dismissed citations citing some illegal fraternity operations. Is that the same person who hears appeals for noise violations?

THE PROJECT INCLUDES A REQUEST TO PROVIDE TWO (2) PARKING SPACES IN TANDEM ON AN EXISTING DRIVEWAY ALONG EAST FOOTHILL BOULEVARD. THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER SECTION 15301 EXISTING FACILITIES) OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) GUIDELINES AS REPRESENTED IN THE COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT AND ATTACHMENTS DATED OCTOBER 15, 2024 (USE-0331-2023, APPL-0365-2024) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, on June 12, 2024, for the review of a Conditional Use Permit to establish a fraternity at 1264 and 1264 ½ East Foothill Boulevard and 1241, 1243, 1249, and 1251 Monte Vista Place, pursuant to a proceeding instituted under USE-0331-2023; Lambda Chi Alpha, applicant; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conditionally approved the Conditional Use Permit, USE-0331-2023, after duly considering all evidence, including testimony of the applicant and general public and evaluation and recommendations by staff presented at said hearing; and WHEREAS, Residents for Quality Neighborhoods filed a timely appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision to approve the Conditional Use Permit, APPL-0365- 2024, on June 24, 2024; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, on October 15, 2024, for the purpose of considering the appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision to approve the Conditional Use Permit, APPL-0365-2024, and has duly considered all evidence, including the record of the Planning Commission hearing; testimony of the applicant, appellant, and general public; and evaluation and recommendations by staff presented at said hearing; and WHEREAS, notices of said public hearings were made at the time and in the manner required by law. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: Docusign Envelope ID: 4911A4F3-97E7-4A4C-B783-FED01F8C450B Resolution No. 11529 (2024 Series) Page 2 R 11529 SECTION 1. Findings. The City Council hereby denies the appeal and grants final approval for the project (USE-0331-2023, APPL-0365-2024), based on the following findings: Conditional Use Permit / Fraternity Use 1. The project is consistent with the General Plan because the proposed fraternity is an allowable use as dense group housing in the High Density Residential (HDR) land use designation. In addition, the project would facilitate Land Use Element Policy 2.6.5 and Housing Element Policy 8.6 by locating a fraternity in proximity to the Cal Poly SLO campus and other student-oriented uses and housing. 2. The proposed fraternity is conditionally allowed within the High-Density Residential R-4) zone. As conditioned, the project complies with applicable provisions of the Zoning Regulations because (a) the maximum number of 24 residents complies with the group housing maximum occupancy limits and (b) the revised parking configuration would provide 18 required spaces for 24 residents and comply with the City’s Parking and Driveway Standards to improve the property. 3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the project will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity because the proposed fraternity would (a) be established in proximity to other dense group housing (i.e., other fraternities, sororities, multi-family, etc.), (b) located within walking distance (i.e., less than 0.25-mile) of the Cal Poly campus, and (c) utilize an existing developed property with minor site improvements (i.e., parking and landscaping improvements). 4. The site is physically suitable in terms of (a) its design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics of the project; (b) traffic generation and the provision of public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access; (c) public protection services (e.g., fire protection, police protection, etc.); and (d) the provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.). The project is surrounded by other developed properties with compatible dense housing uses, has access to the City’s circulation system, and would be served by City utilities. The project utilizes an existing developed property and does not include activities that would generate service or utility demands beyond those anticipated with uses permitted in the vicinity. 5. As conditioned, the project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of persons living or working at the site or in the vicinity because conditions have been included that place limits on the number of persons allowed on site, restrict activities, provide adequate parking, and limit potential disturbances to neighboring properties. The project will be compatible with the existing site constraints and the character of the neighborhood. Docusign Envelope ID: 4911A4F3-97E7-4A4C-B783-FED01F8C450B Resolution No. 11529 (2024 Series) Page 3 R 11529 6. As conditioned, the establishment and subsequent operation or conduct of the project will not, because of the circumstances and conditions applied in the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the general public or persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the use, or be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the use because the project includes conditions that (a) place limits on the number of persons allowed on site, (b) restrict activities, (c) provide adequate parking, and (d) limit potential disturbances to neighboring properties. The project would be compatible with the existing site constraints and the character of the neighborhood. SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The project is exempt from environmental review under Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because it includes the operation, maintenance, permitting, licensing, and minor alteration of an existing residential development. The fraternity would continue the residential use with minor site improvements related to parking (e.g., parking space restriping, installation of wheel stops, etc.) and landscaping (e.g., pruning, maintenance, etc.). The project does not include construction of a new building or additional building square footage. Therefore, the project involves no expansion of the former residential use. SECTION 3. Action. The City Council hereby denies the appeal and grants final approval to the project (USE-0331-2023, APPL-0365-2024) with incorporation of the following conditions: Planning Division – Community Development Department 1. Plans submitted for the building and/or site improvements permit(s) (i.e., parking lot improvements) shall be in substantial conformance with the project description and plans represented in the Council Agenda Report dated October 15, 2024. 2.

Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. Hi Christine, In 1989, the city attorney brought a case against an unpermitted fraternity house on Foothill. Community Development, SLOPD, and the city attorney worked together and the matter was resolved swiftly. In that case, the fraternity was operating in an R4 zone but did not have a conditional use permit. A SLOPD officer submitted a sworn declaration and the case was prosecuted for violation of SLOMC 17.22.010 and 17.02.030. Can the same municipal code violation be used again, wherein a resident files a complaint with SLOPD against a fraternity operating illegally in R1 and R2 residential zones? These illegal fraternity operations have caused ongoing extreme disruptions to the neighbors for several years. There is no way for the fraternities to get a conditional use permit because they are not allowed to operate in R1 and R2 zones, but their operations in these neighborhoods is what is so egregious and make it impossible to have the quiet enjoyment of our property. 388 I have attached the previous case. Please let me know how the residents living in Alta Vista and Monterey Heights can use this process to hold illegal fraternity operations responsible, and hopefully get some semblance of peace back in our lives. This is a timeline of what happened back then. I've attached the Agenda from 1989 for your reference. This approach could be used in conjunction with obtaining the addresses of fraternity events registered with Greek Life from Cal Poly. I submitted multiple records requests and was told the information would not be disclosed for privacy reasons, which does not apply to this case because the addresses do not give any personally identifiable information specific to a particular student (FERPA). I prepared a response using case law to show that FERPA does not apply to the addresses and Cal Poly responded that fraternities are "independent organizations" not affiliated with the university, therefore the information will not be disclosed. Cal Poly used the "catch-all" exemption without any reference to why it applies, despite the requirement to do so as that exemption is narrowly construed. The only way that Cal Poly will disclose the addresses is by filing a Writ of Mandate. I researched this issue at the law library and prepared a Writ, though it's probably not great because I'm not a lawyer, there is a lot of case law that supports the position that Cal Poly must disclose those records. The fees and costs for filing a Writ when an agency wrongfully withholds records are recoverable so Cal Poly would also have the financial burden of any fees and costs expended. I'm not sure how that works with a public agency but that's how it works for private individuals or the press. Please let me know if the residents can move forward with complaints through SLOPD for some of the more egregious fraternity operations, using the same method used in 1989. Thank you, Kathie Walker Timeline: July 1988: Alpha Upsilon Alumni Corporation purchased the property located at 720 and 726 Foothill Boulevard. It is two units: a one bedroom and a three bedroom. It is zoned R-4 which allows a fraternity, but they did not apply for a conditional use permit. August 1988: The City receives a complaint that it may be operating as a fraternity. August 22, 1988: Judith Lautner, Associate Planner for the City, wrote to the fraternity: “A Planning Commission use permit must be approved to allow a Fraternity at this address. If you intend to establish such a use, you or a local representative must apply for this use permit immediately. I have enclosed materials for such an application.” September - October, 1988: Fall Rush week activities were announced for week of October 6- 12, 1988. All activities are to take place on the premises. October 1, 1988: Owners of adjacent apartments complain to the Community Development Department re: failure of the Fraternity to have proper use permit. October 4, 1988: Letter to City from fraternity which cites recent purchase of property (4 months). “It has been our full intention from start to obtain a use permit to function at this property. " Mentions "working towards a use permit application.” Regarding the issue of Rush week events: “This problem has been corrected and we fully intend to hold no functions at this address.” October 6 –12, 1988: The fraternity continued to advertise and hold functions, in contradiction to their written advisement to the City. In the spring of 1989, still without a use permit, the fraternity held more functions at this address. 389 On March 1, 1989, SLOPD officer Ian Parkinson was dispatched to the fraternity location by the adjacent property owners and manager. According to the police report, “All 3 subjects stated this is an ongoing problem and the fraternity has found a way to circumvent the City's use permits and is still having their fraternity rushes and parties at the residence. They requested that a report be written, and they strongly requested a complaint against the fraternity.” The Police Report was forwarded to the city attorney for a complaint to be brought against the fraternity. On March 27, 2989, Ian Parkinson provided a declaration in support of a criminal complaint against Alpha Upsilon for violations of the SLOMC sections 17.02.030 and 17.22.010. On March 28, 1989, a letter was sent to the fraternity by the City Attorney Vicki Finucane that said: “Gentlemen: This is to advise you that a complaint has been filed against the Alpha Upsilon Fraternity in the San Luis Obispo Municipal Court, Criminal Division, for violation of the above-referenced code sections. Your arraignment has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 26. 1989, at 9: 00 a.m. in the Municipal Court. Division A. at 1050 Monterey Street. San Luis Obispo. Please plan to have a representative of Alpha Upsilon present at that time.” The fraternity was ordered by the Municipal Court of San Luis Obispo County to pay a fine, comply with the terms and conditions of probation, and apply for a use permit within 30 days. The fraternity did not comply with the court’s order to apply for the use permit within 30 days but applied for a use permit six weeks later, on June 6, 1989. August 9, 1989: Planning Commission held a hearing for a use permit. The Planning Commission heard testimony from several neighbors and owners of adjacent property. Much of the testimony related specific problems, caused by the fraternity members, with parking, noise, and disruptive behavior. The neighbors also offered evidence that the house has been operated as a fraternity house for approximately one year. Testimony was also given by citizens, who do not live or own property near the site, about the history of this particular fraternity. The fraternity previously had a use permit for a house on Palm Street. After several complaints and review hearings, the Planning Commission revoked that use permit. On appeal, the council took no action on that use permit because the fraternity was moving out. Based on public testimony, the Planning Commission found the use incompatible with the neighborhood and a threat to the health, safety, and general welfare of persons living or working nearby and denied the use permit. The fraternity appealed to the Planning Commission’s denial of their use permit. September 19, 1989: The City Council overturned the Planning Commission’s denial and granted a use permit with strict conditions. r MEETING DATE: City Of San LUIS OBISPO i 9-19-89 COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER: FROM: Randy Rossi, Interim Community Development Director By: Judith Lautner,k SUBJECT: U1449B: Appeal of the Planning Commission's action denying a use permit to allow a fraternity house near the northeasterly corner of Foothill Blvd. and Ferrini Road. CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution upholding the Planning Commission's action and denying the appeal. BACKGROUND Discussion The applicants have been living at the site for more than a year, and for most of that time operating as a fraternity without a use permit. The city received complaints about the use in August 1988 and requested the fraternity to make an application. The fraternity responded in a letter (attached) that they were preparing an application. After several months passed and no application was received, and after receiving additional complaints that the apartments at the site were continuing to be-used as a fraternity and that the behavior of the residents was objectionable to the neighbors, the City Attorney cited the residents for a zoning violation. The court heard the case in April 26, 1989, and fined the members for operating as a fraternity without a use permit and placed it on probation for one year. One requirement of that probation was that the fraternity apply for a use permit within 30 days of the April date. The applicants applied on June 6, 1989, about six weeks after the judge's action. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the use permit on August 9, 1989. The site contains two apartments separated by a garage. The use permit application includes plans to remodel and add to the apartments, and to construct a parking lot at the rear. The site and remodelling plans, along with the applicants' proposal to house twelve occupants at the site, meet the city's zoning regulations for parking and occupancy. The Planning Commission heard testimony from several neighbors and owners of adjacent property. Much of the testimony related specific problems, caused by the fraternity members, with parking, noise, and disruptive behavior. The neighbors also offered evidence that the house has been operated as a fraternity house for approximately one year. Testimony was also given by citizens, who do not live or own property near the site, about the history of this particular fraternity. The fraternity previously had a use permit for a house on Palm Street. After several complaints and review hearings, the Planning Commission revoked that use permit. On appeal, the council took no action on that use permit because the fraternity was moving out. Based on public testimony, the Planning Commission found the use incompatible with the neighborhood and a threat to the health, safety, and general welfare of persons living or working nearby, and denied the use permit.

Project action deadline: January 28, 1990 Site description The site is a large (11,375 square feet) L-shaped lot containing two one-story apartment buildings, connected by a garage. The buildings are set back about 17' from the front property line. Most of the front yard is taken up by asphalt, used for parking. The rear yard is fenced, and contains a small concrete pad and grasses. The site is essentially surrounded by apartments on three sides, and is across the street from a shopping center. Proiect description The project is to be done in two phases: In phase one, the garage would be removed, a parking lot for twelve cars would be constructed behind the apartments, and the apartments would be remodelled to provide six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room and kitchen. In phase two, the buildings would be remodelled again, and an upper floor added. The end result would be a building with six bedrooms, five bathrooms, two kitchens, a "chapter room" and living room. PREVIOUS REVIEW The Planning Commission reviewed this request on August 9, 1989, and denied it, based on the following findings: 1. The proposed use will adversely affect the health, safety, or welfare of persons living or working on the site or in the vicinity. MEETING DATE: city of San tuts OBispo ITEM NUMBER: COUNCIL AGENDA REPORTU1449b Page 3 2. The use is not appropriate at the proposed location and will not be compatible with surrounding development. Staff's recommendation to the Planning Commission was to approve the use for residential use and small meetings only, given that the site could meet ordinance requirements. At the commission's hearing, however, public testimony as to recent fraternity actions, including rush activities, noise, disruptive behavior, unauthorized use of private parking.spaces, and continuing lack of maintenance of the property, convinced staff that the fraternity use is not compatible with the neighborhood. Anticipating heightened fraternity use if this permit is approved, staff, therefore, concurs with the Planning Commission's action. EVALUATION Staff suggests the council consider- 1.onsider1. Occuoancv requirements. The zoning regulations set limits on the number of persons that may live in group housing. The maximum number allowed in the R-4 zone is 55 persons per acre. The maximum allowed on this site, then, is 11,375 square feet/43,560 SF per acre = 0.26 acre 0.26 acre X 55 = 14 The applicants want to have twelve residents. The occupancy limit is therefore not exceeded. 2. Parking requirements. The zoning regulations require one space per 1.5 residents, or 1.5 spaces per bedroom, whichever is greater, for this use. The requirement, therefore, is 1.5X6 = 9 or 12/1.5 = 8 Therefore, the parking requirement is 9 spaces. The applicants propose to construct 12 spaces on the lot. Therefore, the requirement is met, and would be met with the maximum occupancy of 14, also. Parking for large gatherings is not available, however. This topic is discussed further below, under meetings". 3. Meetings, The applicants want to use the house for general membership meetings and special events. Staff is concerned with this part of the request for two reasons: Noise and objectionable behavior. Any large gatherings are likely to cause noise problems for the neighbors (and already have). Parties where alcohol is served often result in situations that cannot be controlled by the fraternity leaders, and are disturbing to the neighborhood. Parking. On-site parking will be provided for the residents. Three additional spaces will be available as well. However, there is not adequate parking either on-site or nearby for large gatherings. 111 I1111I111 I f MEE nNG DATE: Mi; I I ICl O San lUl S OBISPO COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Imo"NUMBER: Page 4 At the Planning commission hearing, the fraternity representative said that the parking lot across the street (Foothill Plaza) has been used for parking for large gatherings. No permission from the shopping center's owner; nor any city approvals, have been requested or granted for this use. Neighbors of the site expressed concerns with the safety of visitors crossing Foothill Boulevard, even if such an arrangement were approved. Some of the neighbors noted that their parking lots have been used for fraternity members and guests without their permission. For these reasons, staff cannot support using the house for general membership meetings or large parties. 4. Neighborhood nrosram. The Planning Commission, in its approval of three sororities in the recent past, and of one fraternity, has required "neighbor relations plans". These plans include a requirement to distribute telephone numbers of responsible persons to all neighbors surrounding the house, and for announcements to these neighbors of all special and regular events. Staff recommends that if the council approves the use permit, such a plan be required in this case, as the site is surrounded by high-density development. A copy of such a plan, approved for a sorority, is attached. 5. Existing buildings. At present, the site contains two apartments, separated by a garage adequate for one car. The residents park their cars on the paved front yard. Including the garage and the concrete area in front, there may be space available at present for two legal parking spaces, in tandem. The paved area is not approved for parking. Staff has been unable to determine when the paving was installed, but notes that parking in the streetyard is not allowed. The present condition therefore does not meet the parking requirement for a fraternity. If the use permit is approved, staff recommends a condition be attached that the use permit will not be effective until phase one of the project is complete. Until that time, the buildings may be used as residences only. ALTERNATIVES 1. The council may deny the request, as recommended by staff and the Planning Commission, if it makes findings to support a denial. 2. The council may approve the use, subject to conditions suggested by staff or with modifications to those conditions. Staff suggests that if the council prefers to approve the use with regular chapter meetings at the house, the council should add the following: Conditions: a. The applicant shall submit a parking management plan to address parking for large gatherings, to the approval of the Community Development Department staff. Failure of members of the fraternity and invited guests to adhere to the approved plan may be grounds for revocation of this use permit. All group gatherings involving more than 16 persons shall be held offsite until the parking management plan is submitted to and approved by the Community Development Director, and is in effect.

A maximum of 70 persons, or a lower number if so determined by the Fire Marshal, may occupy the site at any one time. This occupancy limit shall be posted in the building at a location satisfactory to the Fire Department. C. This use permit shall be reviewed in one year. At that time, conditions may be added or modified, or the use permit may be revoked. 3. The council may continue the request, if additional information is needed. Direction should be given to staff and the applicants. RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution upholding the Planning Commission's action denying the use permit, and denying the appeal. If the council chooses to approve the use permit, staff has attached a resolution with suggested findings and conditions. i' Attached: Vicinity map Draft resolutions Applicant's statement Letter from fraternity noting intent to file use permit application Planning Commisssion minutes - August 9, 1989 Appeal Sample neighbor relations plan JL7:u 1449cc 1 i RESOLUTION NO. 1989 Series) A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO DENYING AN APPEAL AND UPHOLDING THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S ACTION DENYING A USE PERMIT FOR A FRATERNITY AT 720 - 726 FOOTHILL BOULEVARD BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: SECTION 1.

Moran, Alpha Upsilon Fraternity Subject: Use Permit application for Alpha Upsilon Fraternity to operate at 720 & 726 Foothill Boulevard. Alpha Upsilon Alumni Corporation purchased the property located at 720 and 726 Foothill Boulevard in July of 1988 as a potential site for the fraternity to operate. Alpha Upsilon Fraternity has thirty members and hopes to provide housing for 12 members on the site. It is intended that the site serve as alocation for weekly General Meetings, lasting approximately one hour on Sundays from 6:00 p.m. It is also intended that the site will serve as a location for social events, approximately three to four times per academic quarter. These social events would consist of In-House Members and invited guests only and would not consist of"Open Parties". The site is presently zoned R-4 and has neighboring lots consisting of medium to high density housing and commercial properties. In order to facilitate the Use Permit process, Alpha Upsilon Alumni Corporation has plans to demolish a portion of one building (a garage) in order to gain access to the backyard for parking. There are also plans to rennovate the interiors of the existing buildings. The parking lot and the rennovations are the first part of a two phase plan. The second phase would add a second story and further rennovate the buildings to thier completed form. Attached are the preliminary drawings of each phase.. The working drawings are being done by a local architect, named Robert Richmond. We are eager to obtain a Use Permit and will do all we can to contribute to making the process as smooth as possible.

It has been our full intention from the start to obtain a use permit to function at this property. This was also was a major factor in our decision to purchase the property. We feel this location is ideal for a fraternity use due to its zoning(R-4),proximity to Cal-Poly, and its relationship to surrounding properties. . We have been actively working towards submitting a use permit application and recently met with City Planning Director,Mike MultarL to discuss our possible options: Our housing committee is currently consulting with architects on the development plans for this parcel. In this process we hope to mitigate neighborhood concerns such as noise and parking. There recently has been a great deal of concern over publications announcing rush functions at this address. These flyers were printed before we realised all the problems with holding fraternity functions at this location. This problem has been corrected,and we fully intend to hold no functions at this address, We are confident that we can work with the neighborhood and the city to mach a positive solution for a fraternity use of the property. We will inform you of the progress on our application, and we encourage you to call us with any concerns you may have.

Public Hearing: Use Permit U1449. Request to allow a fraternity house; 720 foothill Boulevard; R-4 zone; Alpha Upsilon Fraternity, applicant. Judith Lautner, Associate Planner, presented the staff report recommending approving of the use permit with conditions limiting the use to residential with small meetings. Vice-Chairman Crotser opened the hearing. Scott Moran, 720 Foothill, applicant's representative, discussed the fraternity's history, request, and the search for an appropriate site. He discussed the Intrafraternity Council's procedures to handle complaints and regulate fraternal activity and conduct. He discussed the specific.site plans. Phillip Simon, 1510 Higuera, attorney representing Al and Elinor Bonin, discussed neighborhood concerns about this group's behavior to date and the activities on site. He distributed a petition of opposition, which cited concerns about increased parking needs, activities, and gatherings, and traffic problems. Al Bonin, 272 Del Mar Ct., discussed an increase in the amount of police calls to the site and asked that the permit be denied. He noted that there are 10.2 apartments within 300 feet of the site and 41 more nearby. Dennis Adams, 2020 Hope Street, was concerned about traffic, parking, and disruptive behavior in the area. Mary Gobel, 2766 Flora, was concerned about parking and noise problems, and the use of loud, profane, language. Vil Gillespie, Box 3, Rte. 298, San Luis Obispo, was concerned about increased traffic, parking, and the incompatible use within the neighborhood. He said fraternity members use his parking lot at 772 Foothill. Kathryn Reed, 250 Ferrini, was concerned with traffic, parking, and loud. parties. She felt the fraternity is too close to an existing sorority in the neighborhood. Patrick Gerety, 793 Buchon, discussed the history of abusive behavior displayed by this group and felt they have forfeited their right to operate in this city. He requested denial of the permit and suggested referring the fraternity to the National Fraternity Council or the Cal Poly Dean of Students for disciplinary action. Terry Drinkard, 140 Ferrini #15, was opposed to the fraternity location and i.;,e use permit request. Kathryn Dinkard, 140 Ferrini #15, agreed that the request should be denied. Elinor Bonin, 272 Del Mar Ct., discussed problems and complaints at her 140 Foothill apartment complex. DRAFT Planning Commission Minutes August 9, 1989 Page 2 Sandy Gillespie, Box 3, Rte. 298, San Luis Obispo, felt the request should be denied because the fraternity had operated without permits, had delayed the permit application process, and felt the fraternity was setting an unfair precedent. She was concerned about the non-cooperative attitude of the group. Roy Hanff, 569 Lawrence, felt there had been several complaints about this fraternity that had never been processed. He suggested a perf.o'rmance bonding process to protect taxpayers and the community. . Mr. Morin, in response to public comments, stated he felt it was unfair to judge the present fraternity group on the past behavior of former members. Vice-Chairman Crotser closed the public hearing. Commr. Roalman. felt this use would affect the health, safety, and welfare of the neighbors and supported a denial of the. permit. Commr. Karleskint supported denial of the permit due to the impacted area and the inappropriateness of the site, as well as the documented abusive behavior of this group at this site in the recent past, and their apparent uncooperative attitude to date. r Commr. Kourakis was against the permit due to the incompatibility with the neighborhood and the fraternity's disregard for the community rights. Commr. Hoffman agreed with Commr. Karleskint. Vice-Chairperson Crotser felt the land use of R-4 was appropriate and the the conditions were reasonable. He allowed that it was a new membership filing the request but was concerned about traffic, safety, and welfare, and neighborhood compatibility.. Commr. Karleskint moved to deny the use permit due to adverse health, safety, and welfare concerns and neighborhood incompatibility. Commr. Roalman seconded the. motion, Resolution No. 4092-89.

SEP 189 '/0p•1ti Page three AREAS OF CONCERN Use permit should be denied, as the Following areas of concern have not been properly addressed: 1 . INCREASED PARKING NEEDS: Although the Fraternity 's proposed plan calls For the construction of additional on-site parking, such parking would not be adequate for any gathering or meeting involving persons other- than the residents of the premises . Clearly, the neighboring on-street. parking will be compromised by the increased demand caused by any such gatherings or meetings . Although the Fraternity has agreed to limit its social Functions on premises , the track, record of the Fraternity to date, as delineated above, speaks For itself regarding the fraternity 's ability to restrict its activities as promised . It has even been . reported that some Fraternity residents and/or guests have been utilizing the offastreet parking From the adjacent apartment buildings presently to solve their current lack, of sufficient on-site parking spaces. Curbside in Front of premises is designated as red nc-parking zone. 2 . INCREASED TRAFFIC CONGESTION: This is an area of high density residential housing, with three apartment complexes adjacent to the fraternity premises . The conversion of two residential units, to wit: 1-1 bedroom unit and 1-3 bedroom unit, into a 12 person household, will surely increase the traffic Flow in such high density area, even assuming the occupants do not entertain others, which invariably will occur . Ferrini Street has now been opened through to Highland Drive, creating a shortcut to the Cal Poly campus . The increase in occupants, all attending Cal Poly, will increase the traffic flow on Ferrini. towards and back From Cal Poly, creating a thoroughFare out of a small residential street. 3 . INCREASED NOISE: As can be seen From the events which have taken. place to date, the Fraternity 's use of the premises has increased the noise levels late at night and has caused concern among neighboring residents. Page four f.LOITERING., ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION IN PUBLIC AND INCREASED LIITER: The fraternity 's plans call for no restrictions on loitering or alcohol consumption, or clean-up of area after fraternity events . These are concerns of the neighboring residents as it has been reported that certain Fraternity residents and/or guests have been seen loitering about the premises and neighborhood, drinking alcohol in public. view, making lewd comments to persons visiting residents of the neighboring apartments and leaving their garbage thrown• about. The premises are in close proximity to a liquor stare, a bar and a market where alcohol is sold. S . UNDERAGE DRINKING: The fraternity 's plans call Por- no supervision of activities to insure that alcohol consumption is limited to persons over the age of 21 . 6 . USE NOT IPJ CONFORMITY WITH NEIGHBOP.HODD: This is a residential neighborhood, with businesses to the east and a shopping center. to the south across the street. Although- there is a sorority on the next block, the alcohol use and noisy. party atmosphere of a fraternity does not appear to exist there .. There exists in close proximity to the premises in question over 100 apartment units, mostly family oriented, with elementary school on next block. The party atmosphere of the fraternity, as can be deduced from the events so far scheduled: by the - Fraternity , does not coincide with the family oriented mature of, the balance of the neighborhood. 7.THE FRATERNITY 'S APPEAL: The fraternity; through- its president now complains that the decision of the planning-- commission lanning_ commission was unfair and based on misleading inEormation whichn condemned and unfairly represented them . It does appear- that thea Fraternity and its officers have forgotten the fads. Page five On August 22, 1988, Judy Lautner, an associate planner with the City , wrote the fraternity regarding the neighbors ' concerns about the fraternity functioning at the address without a use permit . The fraternity responded on October 4, 1988 through its vice president, Scott Moran, who indicated, "there recently has been a great deal of concern over publications announcing rush functions at this address. These flyers were printed well before we realized all the problems with holding fraternity functions at this location. This problem has been corrected, and we .fully intend to hold no functions at this address" . Less than 3 days later, beginning October 6th and continuing on October 9th, 9th, 11th, and 12th, functions were held at this address. Still without a permit, the Fraternity continued to advertise and actually held these functions, in total contradiction to their written advisement to the City . Certainly , these facts are not misrepresented . Again in the spring, 1999, still without a use permit, the fraternity held more functions &at this address . Still without a permit, the fraternity advertised these functions. This is not a misrepresentation, this is a set of facts. As a result of these facts, the fraternity was cited For a violation . The City Filed a complaint against the Fraternity to force them to either cease and desist from holding Fraternity functions at the address or obtain a use permit . The fraternity was ordered by the Municipal Court of San Luis Obispo County to comply with a term and condition of probation to apply for a use permit within 30 days. The fraternity did not comply with the court orders . This is not a misrepresentation, it is a Fact . The fraternity filed for its permit later than as ordered by the court. This is a fact, it is not a misrepresentation. The use requested by the fraternity increases an already impacted" neighborhood . This is not a misrepresentation, this is a fact . The only misleading information or information that has been unfairly presented, appears to come from the fraternity and its members. C Page Six CONCLUSION It is difficult to understand how the City Council can approve a use permit for the fraternity which use permit does not touch upon the issues presented herein, in light of the concerns as expressed herein . It is requested that such use permit be denied. It is also extremely difficult to understand how the City Council would be willing to accept the Fraternity at its word, in light of the failure of the fraternity to comply with the City 's initial request For a use permit application, and in light of the Fraternity 's Failure to comply with its own self imposed restrictions after being notified of its violation of the zoning ordinance and in light of the Fact that the Fraternity Failed to comply with the court imposed probation condition . In the event that the City Council would be inclined to grant the use permit to the Fraternity , such action would be tantamount to looking the other way regarding the Fraternity 's Full year of occupancy without the proper use permit, in spite of the Fact that the current application was filed only after the Fraternity was ordered to do so as a condition of probation, after successful prosecution of the zoning violation initiated by the. City after receiving complaints From neighboring residents regarding the Fraternity 's activities. j,ll ly.+.`,s511!,H.,ai I li•,III' Ih city of sAn luis OBISPO 990 Palm Street/Post Office Box 8100 • San Luis Obispo.

PROBABLE CAUSE STATEMENT.: Upon arrival, I contacted the RP/ W/ and W/ who is the stated they have been having a problem with the fraternity Alpha Upsilon, located at 720 Foothill. They stated they've had continuous noise problems, party problems, and they are continually disturbing the occupants of their apts. They stated they have talked with numerous people regarding this problem which included talking to the attorney, PD, Planning Dept, and City Council members. They stated last time the fraternity had a rush week, they held all their rush parties at their location, 720 Foothill. They stated they talked about this with the City and the City stated they would no longer be holding their parties there w/o a use permit. stated last time they announced on their flyer that the parties would be held at that location and subsequent to that they complained to the City about it. They said this time they got ahold of one of the rush bulletins and it stated that the locations of the last 4 events would be to be announced. He stated the first event that was marked to be announced was Sunday, 26th, and that was held at the fraternity, 720 Foothill. They took several photos of that incident, and in the photos showed rush signs on the lawn and beer signs throughout the yard. He stated they were extremely loud, partying and drinking throughout the night and later on the evening took 2 kegs of beer and climbed over through their property, leaving. He stated that last night, Tuesday, 2/28, the event was noted to be to be announced, was also held at the residence. All 3 SUB/s stated this is an on-going problem and the fraternity has found a way to circumvent the City's use permits and is still having their fraternity rushes and parties at the residence. They requested that a rpt be written and they strongly request a Ocomplaint against the fraternity. 1 1 CSAN LUIS OBISPO POLICE DEPARTMENT CA0400600 CRIME REPORT 89060020 I requested that Of. HUBBARD on night watch attempt to photograph. any possible rush parties that evening. The reason for this was they indicated on their flyer that they were intending to have another one that evening. The following day I talked with Of. HUBBARD who advised that there was a function happening at the residence. He advised he observed SUB/s inside the residence and 2 SUB/s standing out front near the front door. He stated the SUB/s out front were dressed in coat and tie and had some clipboard and appeared to be checking off names as people arrived. He stated there was no noise violation; however, he did take several photographs from me of the event. The film was retained by myself and submitted to Tech KLASEY for developing.
