Sadie:
I haven’t heard from you since our production on 12/13/24 and wanted to check-in. I read your article this weekend
and was wondering if you are still going to need additional documents from us?
As you know, this is a significant request, and we are still pulling together additional documents for you. Just let me
know and I’ll do my best to usher documents along.
Uploaded is the next batch of documents, which are calls made to SLOPD over almost a three-year period to the
addresses from the included list (last pages of this production). This list is comprised fraternities and sororities with a
Condition Use Permit (“CUP”), addresses from Cal Poly’s AB 524 list, and addresses receiving regular complaints
related to parties/suspected fraternity events. Here’s the link to the files produced: Batch 2
Christine Wallace, Public Affairs Manager for SLOPD pulled these records together. I believe you talked with her
before. Christine said that if you had any specific questions, she would be happy to walk you through the data.
I am copying Christine and the Clerk’s Office, so they are aware of the status of your request.
Hope you had a wonderful holiday season.

Attachments:09_19_1989, 3 - U1449B_ APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S ACTION DENYING A USE
PERMIT TO ALLOW A FRATERNITY HOUSE (4).pdf
This message is from an External Source. 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.
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
397
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.
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
398
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.

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. Staff is recommending that the council uphold
the commission's action by denying the appeal.

SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS
The proposed use is categorically exempt from CEQA (Class 1, section 15301): The project
includes an addition to existing structures of not more than 50% of the existing floor
area, or more than 2500 square feet.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING THE RECOMMENDED ACTION
If the council upholds the appeal, the fraternity use permit will be granted, with or
without conditions limiting the use.
Data summary
Address: 720 and 726 Foothill Blvd.
Applicant: Alpha Upsilon Fraternity, Inc.
Representative: Scott C. Moran; Appellant: Jens Wessel, President, Alpha Upsilon
Property owner: Alpha Upsilon Alumni Corporation
Zoning: R-4
General plan: High-density residential
Environmental status:Categorically exempt - Class 1, section 15301: project includes
an addition to existing structures of not more than 50% of the
existing floor area, or more than 2500 square feet.
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.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

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.

b. 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.

From: Scott C. 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.
Thank You,

Dear Planning Staff,
This letter is concerning Alpha Upsilon Fraternity's recent purchase of the property
located at 720 and 726 Foothill Boulevard. 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.
Sincerely,
G'

and conduct. He discussed the specific.site plans.
Phillip Simon, 1510 Higuera, attorney representing Al and Elinor Bonin, discussed

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.

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..

concerns and neighborhood incompatibility.

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.

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.

SUBJECT: Use of property at 720 and 726 Foothill Blvd.
Dear AU Alumni representative:
Our records indicate that you own property at 720 and 726 Foothill Blvd. I visited the
property today, after receiving a complaint that a fraternity may be located there.
Nobody was home, but I noted fraternity-related equipment in the yard and in an open
storage room.
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
Jl
use permit immediately. I have enclosed materials for such an application. If the
property is not intended as a fraternity house, please let me know.
If you have questions about this, call me at (805) 549-7166.

r
As property owners adjacent to the recent ..purchase
of one parcel located at 720-726 Foothill Blvd, San Luis
Obispo by Alpha Upsilon Fraternity, we are concerned about
the activities which will inevitably be very disturbing
to our tenants. Particularly so will be the activities
that, according to their posters circulated on the Cal Poly
campus, will be extremely disruptive toward-the tranquility
of the neighborhood..
The planned activities as posted by the fraternity
will includes
1. Thursday, October 6. 8. 00 P.M. House Warming Party
2. Saturday, October 89 12.00 to 4.00 P.M. BBQ With Live Music
3. Saturday, October 89 8.00 P.M. Caribbean Calypso( exehange wi,
4. Sunday, October 99 AY Jamboree AX11Sororit;
5. Tuesday. October 119 8.00 P.M. Smoker
6. Wednesday October 129 8.00 P.M. Interviews
These fraternity .a_.etivities as currently planned with
undoubtedly more to follow in the future in an area that is
not in conformity With city codes and land use permits are
of grave concern to us.
The continued investigation by the City Community
Development Department into this situation is appreciated.

Dear Planning Staff.
This letter is concerning Alpha Upsilon Fraternity's recent purchase of the property
located at 720 and 726 Foothill Boulevard. 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),proximiry 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 Multari,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 parldng.
There recently has been a great deal of concern over publications announcing rash
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 ftmctions at this address.
We are confident that we can work with the neighborhood and the city to reach 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.
Sincerely.

SOURCE:
On 3/1/89 at approx 1429 hrs, I was dispatched to 140 Ferrini #9,
regarding SUB/s at that location desiring to file a complaint
against nearby fraternity.
PROBABLE CAUSE STATEMENT.:
Upon arrival, I contacted the RP/ W/ and
W/ who is the property owner, and
and who are the property mgrs, 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.

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.

Sadie:
I haven’t heard from you since our production on 12/13/24 and wanted to check-in. I read your article this weekend
and was wondering if you are still going to need additional documents from us?
As you know, this is a significant request, and we are still pulling together additional documents for you. Just let me
know and I’ll do my best to usher documents along.
Uploaded is the next batch of documents, which are calls made to SLOPD over almost a three-year period to the
addresses from the included list (last pages of this production). This list is comprised fraternities and sororities with a
Condition Use Permit (“CUP”), addresses from Cal Poly’s AB 524 list, and addresses receiving regular complaints
related to parties/suspected fraternity events. Here’s the link to the files produced: Batch 2
400
Christine Wallace, Public Affairs Manager for SLOPD pulled these records together. I believe you talked with her
before. Christine said that if you had any specific questions, she would be happy to walk you through the data.
I am copying Christine and the Clerk’s Office, so they are aware of the status of your request.
Hope you had a wonderful holiday season.

Zeta Beta Tau (No "permitted" fraternity houses)
Main House (Meet the brothers) Friday 1/17/2025 at 654 / 658 Graves which is the main chapter house. 658
Graves has received a notification of illegal fraternity activity from code enforcement, although ZBT lists 654
Graves as its main chapter house. They also operate an illegal fraternity at 1928 Garfield which is adjacent to
the Graves property, and received notification of illegal fraternity activity from code enforcement.
The "satellite showcase" on 1/18/2025 will likely be at 1646 Fredericks Street since it was held there during
October 2024 rush recruitment. It did receive a Notice of Violation and has continued to hold disruptive
parties with party tents in the backyard during this academic year.
Other documented locations for ZBT include 244 Albert, 2044 Loomis, and 1744 McCollum.

The main chapter house is at 1820 Hope Street and held a rush event there in October 2024. This property
received a Notice of Violation for illegal fraternity operations from code enforcement but continues to hold
fraternity-related events.
Theta Chi also held rush events in October 2024 at 249/250 Grand Avenue.
This is a popular fraternity and there are usually large crowds so the event should not be missed by an

Unsure where the Saturday 1/18 from 11 am - 2 pm event will be but documented houses are at 1276 Bond

on Friday 1/17/2025 will be at 348 Hathway and 1908 Loomis. During fall rush, they held the Casino Royal at

This is especially disturbing since the fraternity representative, Thomas Symer, told the Planning
Commission that LCA does not hold any fraternity-related events in the residential neighborhood. It was
subsequently disputed in the Appeal to the City Council, and the NOVs were shown during the
presentation. Still, they continue to illegally host fraternity events and loud parties, including last
weekend, at these addresses in low-density residential neighborhoods.
What are the consequences? A small fine does not work! This should somehow be tied to their CUP and
there should be some form of accountability.

Kappa Sigma: 281 Hathway (R-1) 322 Hathway (R-2) are the main locations but they also have locations at
1990 McCollum, 293 Albert 1861 Hope, and some others. All of these locations are in Alta Vista or
Monterey Heights.
Kappa Sigma has rush events on Friday 1/17 from 3 pm - 5 pm, Saturday 1/18 from 2 pm - 5 pm, and
Sunday from 5 pm - 8 pm. They could potentially be at any of these locations but most likely at 281
Hathway and 322 Hathway. As mentioned, if someone was in our neighborhood during these times, it
would be apparent that the rush events are happening.

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Other thoughts:
Each of the fraternities is passing out physical cards today on Dexter Lawn from 4 pm to 7 pm with the
addresses of rush events. Most of them are at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. Someone
could get those cards and it would save me a lot of time and effort to track down these illegal fraternities
that have already been identified and documented by Cal Poly's AB 524 report and other documentation.
Also, the illegal fraternities post booths in front of their houses during rush so are obvious to any
observer. City staff (code enforcement, SLOPD or a CSO) could drive around Alta Vista on Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday, and see the locations. I have sent you a list of the illegal frats that hosted events
in October 2024 and they will likely be the same this time around.

I have attached a list of the addresses that were identified and documented in October 2024 for Cal

listed. This weekend is the first of two weekends of Cal Poly IFC winter rush events.
I have included some of the dates, times, and addresses below. Please follow up, document, and cite
these illegal fraternity houses.
412
I submitted these to AskSLO for fall rush events and code enforcement did not respond to most of the
events so am unsure how to handle it this time around. Please make sure someone goes out and cites
these events so we can document them and move toward getting the illegal fraternities out of our
neighborhoods. I will follow up as I receive more information about other fraternity events.
Sigma Nu: 1632 Fredericks Street and 385 Chaplin Lane.
Rush events at 1632 Fredericks Street will be on 1/18/2025 from 2 pm - 5 pm and at 385 Chaplin
Lane on 1/19/2024 from 5 pm to 7 pm. There will likely be a "booth" with Greek letters and a group of
guys for the recruitment event. Instagram
link: https://www.instagram.com/p/DE3GHeJTbVQ/?img_index=1
Code enforcement sent an Advisory Letter related to illegal fraternity operations to 385 Chaplin Lane
listed in the records online. (https://opengov.slocity.org/WebLink/PDF10/186ccaac-1869-4ae3-8e6e-
3069ac0d2ca3/199836)
A code case was created through AskSLO (request #8380) and code enforcement confirmed a violation
with a rush event held at 1632 Fredericks Street on 10/6/2024. It appears the violation did not deter the
fraternity because they are continuing to operate at that address.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

413
Sigma Pi: 1525 Slack Street and 124 Stenner Street. 1525 Slack has been the main chapter house for
Sigma Pi for at least four years, in an R-1 zone.
Rush events at 1525 Slack will be on 1/18/2025 from 11 am - 2 pm and 1/19/2024 from 2 pm to 5
pm. Rush events at 124 Stenner will be on 1/17/2025 from 7 pm - 9 pm . There will likely be a "booth"

Here's another: Phi Sigma Kappa. The absolute worst offender in our neighborhood at 348 Hathway. It also has a
satellite house at 1908 Loomis. Their rush schedule does not list specific times but the "house tours" on Friday
1/17/2025 will be at 348 Hathway and 1908 Loomis. During fall rush, they held the Casino Royal at 1908 Loomis,
too. Unfortunately, the don't list times but it would be fairly simple to check on them throughout Friday
afternoon/evening at 348 Hathway and you will find the rush event.

This is especially disturbing since the fraternity representative, Thomas Symer, told the Planning Commission
that LCA does not hold any fraternity-related events in the residential neighborhood. It was subsequently
disputed in the Appeal to the City Council, and the NOVs were shown during the presentation. Still, they
continue to illegally host fraternity events and loud parties, including last weekend, at these addresses in low-
density residential neighborhoods.
What are the consequences? A small fine does not work! This should somehow be tied to their CUP and there
should be some form of accountability.

Kappa Sigma: 281 Hathway (R-1) 322 Hathway (R-2) are the main locations but they also have locations at
1990 McCollum, 293 Albert 1861 Hope, and some others. All of these locations are in Alta Vista or Monterey
Heights.
Kappa Sigma has rush events on Friday 1/17 from 3 pm - 5 pm, Saturday 1/18 from 2 pm - 5 pm, and Sunday
from 5 pm - 8 pm. They could potentially be at any of these locations but most likely at 281 Hathway and 322
Hathway. As mentioned, if someone was in our neighborhood during these times, it would be apparent that
the rush events are happening.

Other thoughts:
Each of the fraternities is passing out physical cards today on Dexter Lawn from 4 pm to 7 pm with the
addresses of rush events. Most of them are at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. Someone could
get those cards and it would save me a lot of time and effort to track down these illegal fraternities that have
already been identified and documented by Cal Poly's AB 524 report and other documentation.
Also, the illegal fraternities post booths in front of their houses during rush so are obvious to any observer.
City staff (code enforcement, SLOPD or a CSO) could drive around Alta Vista on Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, and see the locations. I have sent you a list of the illegal frats that hosted events in October 2024 and
they will likely be the same this time around.

I have included some of the dates, times, and addresses below. Please follow up, document, and cite these

I submitted these to AskSLO for fall rush events and code enforcement did not respond to most of the

Code enforcement sent an Advisory Letter related to illegal fraternity operations to 385 Chaplin Lane listed

A code case was created through AskSLO (request #8380) and code enforcement confirmed a violation with
a rush event held at 1632 Fredericks Street on 10/6/2024. It appears the violation did not deter the fraternity
because they are continuing to operate at that address.

Hi Scott,
Please see the draft project plan that I put together here: Project Plan -.docx John is still providing some details and
edits, and may add some tasks to the task tables, but I wanted to give you an idea of where this is headed.
In addition, the Project plan references some Standard Operating Procedures that outlined specific actions (the
“flowchart”) of what will occur if a complaint is received for an unpermitted fraternity or for a fraternity that has a
CUP. John Mezzapesa is working on those, and they will become part of a larger eƯort of Code Enforcement to create
SOPs. Here is the draft SOP for unpermitted Greek houses: 0001-01-2501 Unpermitted Fraternities.docx the team
is still refining this and will also create one for the CUP fraternities, that they are working on now.
Would love to discuss if you would like or feel free to add your comments in the document.

Subject:Update on this weekend's rush events
Hi Scott and Whitney,
ComDev was busy this weekend. 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!

Hello,
Last week, our office received a complaint alleging that a number of fraternities would be hosting rush events at
numerous residential locations in the neighborhoods surrounding Cal Poly. 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.

Hello Christine Wallace,
This is Jason Hananel, the new president of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity here at Cal Poly. I wanted to reach out to inquir e
about the possibility of getting back onto the party registration warning list with the city. After everything that happened
last year and our meeting with you earlier this year, the entire chapter had taken a step back and made a big push in order
444
to better our relationship with neighbors and the city. We have had an entire tenant turnover and an entire executive board
turnover, and because of this we have had no tickets nor complaints throughout the entire fall quarter. Additionally, we
have kept constant communication with all our neighbors putting their needs at the forefront of our decision making. We
take responsibility for our previous members actions and continue to shift the culture to ensure we follow both the needs
of the community and city. We want to continue this line of communication with you for years to come, and as a chapter
are happy to comply with what you believe is necessary to ensure safety and peace within the community. Please let me
know if there's anything you’d like me to share with the chapter and are happy to have a conversation with you or anyone
else to continue rebuilding trust with AEPI. Thank You.

What progress have we made in requiring Cal Poly to once again publish the addresses of fraternity houses in the R-1
and R-2 zones, as they have done in the past? Aren’t they legally required to do so?

I haven’t heard from you since our production on 12/13/24 and wanted to check-in. I read your article this weekend
and was wondering if you are still going to need additional documents from us?
As you know, this is a significant request, and we are still pulling together additional documents for you. Just let me
know and I’ll do my best to usher documents along.
Uploaded is the next batch of documents, which are calls made to SLOPD over almost a three-year period to the
addresses from the included list (last pages of this production). This list is comprised fraternities and sororities with a
Condition Use Permit (“CUP”), addresses from Cal Poly’s AB 524 list, and addresses receiving regular complaints
related to parties/suspected fraternity events. Here’s the link to the files produced: Batch 2
Christine Wallace, Public Affairs Manager for SLOPD pulled these records together. I believe you talked with her
before. Christine said that if you had any specific questions, she would be happy to walk you through the data.
I am copying Christine and the Clerk’s Office, so they are aware of the status of your request.
Hope you had a wonderful holiday season.

University Policy on Pioneer Days-like Events
Executive Memorandum 90-058 July 17, 1990
From: Robin S. Wilson, President
Subject: University Policy on Pioneer Days-like Events
Introduction
On May 17, 1990, in the aftermath of the criminal disturbances occasioned by the city of
Chico’s celebration of Rancho Chico Days, the Faculty Senate unanimously endorsed a
“Resolution Against the Continuation of Pioneer Days-like Festivals.”
FS 90/26 (copy attached) expresses faculty consternation at the long record of “acts of
drunkenness, violence, vandalism, and rape” associated with Pioneer Days and its successor
event, acts which “have all too frequently besmirched the proud reputation of the University
and community.” The resolution condemns “the perpetuation of any Pioneer Days-like
activities while the University is in session and urges the community to reexamine its
priorities”; and it calls upon the University president, “should the community… sponsor any
such ill-fated Pioneer Days-like event in the future,” to undertake, among other actions
(1) To seek…injunctive relief… to protect the University from such an event;
(2) To exhort all members of the academic community to ensure that the academic goals
of the University are foremost on the minds of students and not participation in any
Pioneer Days-like activities, and
(3) To withdraw University recognition from any student organization which chooses to
participate and is thereby being exploited by the community.
Purpose
Accordingly, this Executive Memorandum effectuates the Senate Resolution and establishes
University Policy designed to discourage campus participation in future Pioneer Days-like
celebrations and to lessen the impact on the university’s academic mission of similar or other
disruptive celebrations should they occur. Broader questions pertaining to the quality of
student life which were adduced in the senate discussions are addressed in a Letter to Faculty
issued separately.
Background
Pioneer Days enjoyed a long and mostly benign history in Chico, although by the mid-
seventies the attendant rowdiness had engendered criminal incidents which included gang
rape and – on one occasion – homicide. The toll in alcohol-related injuries climbed steadily
and the annual spring semester decline in student academic effort became alarming. Despite
repeated attempts to reformat the event and repeated examinations by student and faculty
committees and the implementation of their numerous (and usually quite sound)
recommendations, the event continued to spawn wanton waste and woe.
In 1987, after a dangerous riot, the University resolved to avoid any further involvement in the
event, and in that year and again in 1988, 1989, and 1990 repeatedly exhorted those bent on
reviving it to abandon it or at least schedule it at a time when the interests of students would
not be so heavily damaged. Those pleas were not successful, and the 1990 event occasioned
substantial property damage, several dozen injuries, and the arrest of some 108 persons, 26
of them Chico State students. In addition, as past experience had predicted, class attendance
fell off very substantially. Most important, however, was the reinforcement of a widely held
image of Chico State as a party school whose students, faculty, and curriculum cannot be
taken seriously, thus directly and substantially damaging the fortunes of every member of the
academic community.
On the basis of comments aired at a special faculty convocation of May 10 and amplified in
subsequent very valuable communications from several score faculty, of letters from staff,
students and community members, and of a careful study of the past including analysis of
heavy mail from alumni and parents in 1987, press and police reports over many years, the
reports of special committees charged with assessing Pioneer Days in 1973, 1977, 1985 and
1987, and interviews with students arrested on the two nights of the most recent disturbance,
I have concluded that the following elements have predominantly figured in the deterioration
of the event over the years:
Large gatherings of drunken youth are likely to produce violence almost anywhere in
the country (e.g., this year in Detroit, San Luis Obispo, Palm Springs, Fort Lauderdale,
Daytona, Atlantic City and a dozen other resort and college towns).
Promotion of these events as tourist attractions with attendant media attention
imports large numbers of visitors without local ties or accountability.
The careless sale of alcohol and juveniles’ easy access to it, coupled with some
parents’ inability to control the movements and actions of minor children late at
night, produce widespread drunkenness and bizarre behavior among youthful
drinkers.
The growth of the University from a small state normal school of a thousand or so
students to a modern comprehensive institution of over 16,000 students, and the
addition to this population of some 12,000 community college students and (at
celebratory events) an unknown number of secondary-school students, can rapidly
precipitate a number of young people into the streets which – although only a small
and unrepresentative fraction of the student population – readily overwhelms a police
force suited to a city of 38,000 located in an underfinanced country.
When the voting age dropped to 18 a generation ago, colleges, courts and legislators
abandoned parietal rules and codes of off-campus student conduct. Campus
sanctions (expulsion or suspension) for most off-campus student misbehavior are now
nearly impossible.
Policy
1. It is the policy of California State University, Chico to institute legal action to restrain
off-campus organizations, private or public, from conducting—while the University is
in session—public celebrations dependent upon the use of university facilities or the
exploitation of the university faculty, staff, or students in a manner likely to be
detrimental to the academic mission of the University.
To make determinations of threat posed by either the nature or the timing of such
celebrations, the Faculty Senate will be asked to constitute an ad hoc subcommittee to
review and recommend approval or disapproval for proposed events which solicit
participation by student organizations recognized and supported by the University
1. University-recognized and –supported organizations which participate in public
celebrations deemed by the Senate committee to be inimical to the academic
interests of the University will suffer loss of university recognition and support as soon
as their intent to participate is asserted. Organizations so proscribed may petition the
Vice President for Student Affairs for university recognition. Such petitions will be
accepted no sooner than two years after the withdrawal of recognition. A
recommendation for favorable action from the Vice President for Student Affairs will
include the endorsement of the Senate subcommittee. The VPSA will publish and
distribute to new students each fall a list of proscribed organizations
University-recognized and –supported organizations will constitute local chapters of national
organizations (e.g., most fraternities and sororities and certain religious, special interest,
disciplinary, and partisan political groups) can expect university notification to their sponsors
of actions taken under the provisions of this section. Insurance carriers for such organizations
will also be notified of the university’s withdrawal of recognition and support.
Faculty and staff advisers to such organizations will not enjoy state liability protection for
their service in that capacity.
Organizations which do not enjoy university recognition and support may not use university
facilities in any way and may not use the university name or service mark to identify
themselves.

RESOLUTION AGAINST THE CONTINUATION OF PIONEER DAYS-LIKE FESTIVALS
Whereas, The faculty, staff, and students of California State University, Chico have
endeavored to distinguished the University as a center of learning and scholarly activity; and
Whereas, The University and surrounding communities had long enjoyed the traditional
University-sponsored Spring Festival known as Pioneer Days which began when the
University had but a few thousand students; and
Whereas, With the growth of the University and the surrounding community, Pioneer Days
became identified not for its celebration of history and family but rather for associated acts of
drunkenness, violence, vandalism and rape; and
Whereas, The University found such associated acts of drunkenness, violence, vandalism,
and rape to be antithetical to its academic mission and therefore, In 1987, banned all
activities associated with Pioneer Days; and
Whereas, Several members of the Chico community refused to recognize that the
unfortunate antisocial consequences of Pioneer Days had become inherent in the festival
itself; and
Whereas, Those community members nevertheless chose to continue to sponsor all activities
of Pioneer Days (transparently named Rancho Chico Days) as the traditional spring festival;
and
Whereas, The best and well-intentioned efforts of those associated with Rancho Chico Days
could not forestall the inevitable magnet that the festival creates for acts of drunkenness,
violence, and vandalism, which have all too frequently besmirched the proud reputation of
the University and community; and
Whereas, Assigning the blame for the most recent riotous behavior may assuage some
consciences, it serves no useful purpose since such behavior is inherently intertwined with
continuation of any Pioneer Days-like Spring activities; and
Whereas, Although it is unfortunate when the immoral and criminal acts of a few ruin the
wholesome fun of many, the University can no longer endure the perception of affiliation with
any Pioneer Days-like activities as such perception serves only to devalue the University, its
faculty, its staff, its students, its programs and its degrees; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico, condemns the
immoral, irresponsible and criminal activities which occurred during the 1990 Rancho Chico
Days; and be it further
Resolved, That the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico, condemns the
perpetuation of any Pioneer Days-like activities while the University is in session and urges
the community to reexamine its priorities; and be it further
Resolved, That the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico, urges President
Wilson to render the most severe penalty available on those students found guilty of crimes
and misdemeanors associated with the 1990 Rancho Chico Days; and be it further
Resolved, That should the community nevertheless continue to sponsor any such ill-fated
Pioneer Days-like event in the future, the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico
urges President Wilson
(1) To seek whatever injunctive relief which may be available through the courts to protect
the University from such an event;
(2) To exhort all members of the academic community to ensure that the academic goals of
the University are foremost on the minds of students and not participation in any Pioneer
Days-like activities, and,
(3) To withdraw University-recognition from any student organization which chooses to
participate, and is thereby being exploited by the community.

The "satellite showcase" on 1/18/2025 will likely be at 1646 Fredericks Street since it was held

This is especially disturbing since the fraternity representative, Thomas Symer, told the Planning
Commission that LCA does not hold any fraternity-related events in the residential neighborhood. It was
subsequently disputed in the Appeal to the City Council, and the NOVs were shown during the
presentation. Still, they continue to illegally host fraternity events and loud parties, including last
weekend, at these addresses in low-density residential neighborhoods.
What are the consequences? A small fine does not work! This should somehow be tied to their CUP and

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Other thoughts:
Each of the fraternities is passing out physical cards today on Dexter Lawn from 4 pm to 7 pm with the
addresses of rush events. Most of them are at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. Someone
could get those cards and it would save me a lot of time and effort to track down these illegal
fraternities that have already been identified and documented by Cal Poly's AB 524 report and other
documentation.
Also, the illegal fraternities post booths in front of their houses during rush so are obvious to any
observer. City staff (code enforcement, SLOPD or a CSO) could drive around Alta Vista on Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday, and see the locations. I have sent you a list of the illegal frats that hosted events
in October 2024 and they will likely be the same this time around.

A code case was created through AskSLO (request #8380) and code enforcement confirmed a

deter the fraternity because they are continuing to operate at that address.

Subject: Re: Rush Events at Illegal Fraternity Houses

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Other thoughts:
Each of the fraternities is passing out physical cards today on Dexter Lawn from 4 pm to 7 pm with the
addresses of rush events. Most of them are at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. Someone
could get those cards and it would save me a lot of time and effort to track down these illegal fraternities
that have already been identified and documented by Cal Poly's AB 524 report and other documentation.
Also, the illegal fraternities post booths in front of their houses during rush so are obvious to any
observer. City staff (code enforcement, SLOPD or a CSO) could drive around Alta Vista on Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday, and see the locations. I have sent you a list of the illegal frats that hosted events
in October 2024 and they will likely be the same this time around.

I have attached a list of the addresses that were identified and documented in October 2024 for Cal
Poly's Interfraternity Council fall rush recruitment. Fraternities continue to operate at the locations
listed. This weekend is the first of two weekends of Cal Poly IFC winter rush events.
I have included some of the dates, times, and addresses below. Please follow up, document, and cite
these illegal fraternity houses.
I submitted these to AskSLO for fall rush events and code enforcement did not respond to most of the
events so am unsure how to handle it this time around. Please make sure someone goes out and cites
these events so we can document them and move toward getting the illegal fraternities out of our
neighborhoods. I will follow up as I receive more information about other fraternity events.
Sigma Nu: 1632 Fredericks Street and 385 Chaplin Lane.
Rush events at 1632 Fredericks Street will be on 1/18/2025 from 2 pm - 5 pm and at 385 Chaplin
Lane on 1/19/2024 from 5 pm to 7 pm. There will likely be a "booth" with Greek letters and a group of
guys for the recruitment event. Instagram

Code enforcement sent an Advisory Letter related to illegal fraternity operations to 385 Chaplin Lane
listed in the records online. (https://opengov.slocity.org/WebLink/PDF10/186ccaac-1869-4ae3-8e6e-
3069ac0d2ca3/199836)
A code case was created through AskSLO (request #8380) and code enforcement confirmed a violation
with a rush event held at 1632 Fredericks Street on 10/6/2024. It appears the violation did not deter the
fraternity because they are continuing to operate at that address.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
Sigma Pi: 1525 Slack Street and 124 Stenner Street. 1525 Slack has been the main chapter house for
Sigma Pi for at least four years, in an R-1 zone.
Rush events at 1525 Slack will be on 1/18/2025 from 11 am - 2 pm and 1/19/2024 from 2 pm to 5
pm. Rush events at 124 Stenner will be on 1/17/2025 from 7 pm - 9 pm . There will likely be a "booth"
with Greek letters and a group of guys for the recruitment event. Please identify and cite these
properties.
Both properties have already been issued Notices of Violation by Code Enforcement. (see screenshots
below Rush schedule post).

506
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alpha Sigma Phi: 1218 & 1220 Bond Street and 299 Albert Drive. 1218 Bond Street has been the main
chapter house for Alpha Sigma Phi for at least three years, in an R-1 zone. 299 Albert Drive has been a
satellite fraternity house for at least three years in an R-1 zone and has extremely disruptive parties.
Rush events will be held at 1218 Bond Street on 1/17/2025 from 3 pm - 5 pm; and 299 Albert Drive
on 1/18/2024 from 2 pm to 5 pm. The event on 1/19/2025 could be at either address.
There will likely be a "booth" with Greek letters and a group of guys for the recruitment event. Please

These properties have already been issued Notices of Violation on 3/5/2024. (see screenshots below
Rush schedule post).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sigma Phi Epsilon: 2090 Hays Street is the main chapter house (and only fraternity house) for Sigma Phi
Epsilon and has operated at this location for two years, in an R-1 zone.
Rush events will be held at 2090 Hays Street on 1/17/2025 from 7 pm - 9 pm and 1/18/2024 from 11
pm to 2 pm. This fraternity is located above the street and tries to hide its location as a fraternity but
may have Greek letters and a group of guys for the recruitment event. It will be grilling on the outdoor
deck overlooking Hays on 1/18 from 11 am - 2 pm.
This property has already been issued a Notice of Violation on 6/18/2024. (see screenshots below Rush

The Residents for Quality Neighborhoods (RQN) and the SLO Tenants Union are natural allies
because of our shared values and concern for stable, safe, thriving communities in San Luis Obispo.
Preserving the quality of life in residential neighborhoods requires fairness, safety, and stability for the
65% of our neighbors who are renters. Both RQN and the SLO Tenants Union are deeply committed
512
to creating sustainable housing environments and protecting the well-being of their communities,
making collaboration on shared goals natural and potentially powerful.
RQN's history of advocacy around traffic safety, parking, and noise resonates with the Tenants
Union’s advocacy for safe and equitable living conditions. We are both calling for more proactive
code enforcement to help remedy unsafe and unhealthy conditions. The Tenants Union also calls for
stronger regulation of corporate landlords, whose business practices can result in poorly-maintained
neighborhoods.
While change is inevitable, it should benefit the broader community rather than a select few. Stronger
tenant protections can help balance the needs of homeowners, renters, local businesses, and the
broader community. We ask that you add your voices to those already calling for SLO to make renter
protections a Major City Goal. Together, we can create a city where all residents can thrive.

Strengthen Smoke, Carbon Monoxide, and Fire Alarm Regulations:
Adopt a Mold Ordinance
Create a Citywide Rent Registry
Require Renter Protections During Renovations

before January 23. If you can get back to me today, I will move on it today and try to make the meeting
happen. As to time, when are you available?
Looking forward,
Jan

Subject: Public Comment - Prioritize Health and Safety in Rental Housing
This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Dear City Council Members of San Luis Obispo,
I am contacting you on behalf of the Cal Poly Public Health Club, SLO Tenants Union, and the SLO County
Tobacco Control Coalition to ask you to prioritize health and safety in rental housing in your upcoming
priorities for the next two years.
Our organizations have received signatures from local residents that support prioritizing health and safety in
rental housing by focusing on these areas:
Require Deadbolts and Security Devices
Require Motion-Sensing Lighting
Strengthen Smoke, Carbon Monoxide, and Fire Alarm Regulations:
Adopt a Mold Ordinance
Create a Citywide Rent Registry
Require Renter Protections During Renovations
527
Implement Rent Stabilization Measures
Extend Secondhand Smoke Protections to Multi-Unit Housing
We attached the signed petition. We hope that you will take action to prioritize enacting requirements,
policies, and programs to increase tenant protections and address ongoing health and safety concerns in
rental units.
Thank you,
Nicola Manalili
Public Health Club, President

Sounds good. We will hold off until you finish your revisions.
I also wanted to share some redlines from our Senior Civil Engineer, Steve LaChaine, on the plans that you initially
provided. There are concerns with the maneuverability and slope, so hoping these redlines can guide your revisions.
FYI – I am out of the office next week (01/20 through 01/24) and will return on Monday, 01/27. I’ve copied Steve on

For the proposed parking layout, do the dimensions look right following the engineering standards? I made them
18.4' long but from your previous email, if they are in tandem, do they just need to be 18' long? Thanks!

Thanks for the revised plans. Do you also have written responses to comments in the letter that was sent out

Hi Hannah,
Hope you were able to have an amazing holiday season and great start to 2025! I apologize for not following up
on this project in awhile but I am not back on track. I took some time today to layout a proposed parking plan to
539
allow for more spots. Please let me know your thoughts on this, I make each spot 9'x18.4' like we talked about, I
know the minimum width is 8.6' per on conversation. If there is anything that you would like be to dimension or
show, I will get that done. If you have any markups or if its easier to schedule a zoom call we can do that as well.
Thank you again for all the help!! Please see the attached for review.

Hi Celeste,
Here is a screenshot of tandem stalls from the Engineering Standards. No spacing requirement between these
spaces.
Regarding the request to provide three “columns” of tandem spaces, you can add this request in the project
description. It is typically processed as a Director’s Action application. However, since this is a CUP application that
would require Planning Commission approval (higher level review than Director), the request can be incorporated into
the application and PC make the decision on that request as part of the overall fraternity review.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Hannah,
One more question for you, if the parking stalls have to be 18.' x 8.6', do you know how far apart they need to be
spaced both side by side and tandem? We are going to propose more than one car parked in a tandem
formation for directors action. With 3 cars parked in tandem for a total of 6 cars. We can widen the driveway if
needed. Thanks!

Hi Celeste,
Thank you for reaching out. To follow up on our conversation, linked below are the resources related to parking:
2020 Engineering Standards
o See Standard 2240 (on page 266 of the 447 page PDF) for the required dimensions of a parking space.
Minimum dimensions are a length of 18.4’ and width of 8.6’.
o Note – The spaces must be oriented/positioned in a way that requires no more than two maneuvers
(defined as a motion in either a forward or backward direction) to enter or exit.
Table 2-10 (R-4 Zone Development Standards)
o Parking spaces have a minimum required setback of 20 feet from the front property line.
Section 17.158.044
o Tandem parking is only allowed as a two space arrangement.
Let me know if you have any further questions. I am out of the office tomorrow (Friday), but will be able to circle back
with you on Monday.

Hello Hannah,
I wanted to reach out and introduce myself to you. I work for Urban Arena and am handling the edits to the letter
you sent regarding the edits you want made to the CUP involving 1327 Foothill Blvd. I have a couple questions
for you regarding the parking. I see that you want the required dimensions of the bay widths and stall lengths for
each space, required clearances for maneuverability, etc. I also see that the proposed stacked formation
cannot be arranged. On the SLO muni code, it says that all parking stalls shall comply with the parking bay
dimensions standards for average sized cars as provided in the engineering standard details. Could you provide
me with these details please? I see on your response letter that no more than two cars in tandem may be
requested. Can you clarify if that means two sets of tandem cars (4 total) or one set (2 total)? Thank you!

Thanks Celeste.
Do you want staff to review the plans that you initially provided? Or should we hold off for now until you finalize the
layout? The next round of comments would need to be based off of one design.

Hi Hannah,
I will type up some responses today to the letter and send back over. Thank you for attaching the letter again.
For the proposed parking layout, do the dimensions look right following the engineering standards? I made them
18.4' long but from your previous email, if they are in tandem, do they just need to be 18' long? Thanks!

Hi Celeste,
Hope you’re having a great 2025 as well!
Thanks for the revised plans. Do you also have written responses to comments in the letter that was sent out
(attached again for your convenience)? The responses are helpful in letting the reviewers know how you addressed
their comments. Also, there are some comments that are not addressed via the plans such as comment #1, which
includes revisions to the project description.
Thanks!

Hi Hannah,
Hope you were able to have an amazing holiday season and great start to 2025! I apologize for not following up
on this project in awhile but I am not back on track. I took some time today to layout a proposed parking plan to
allow for more spots. Please let me know your thoughts on this, I make each spot 9'x18.4' like we talked about, I
know the minimum width is 8.6' per on conversation. If there is anything that you would like be to dimension or
show, I will get that done. If you have any markups or if its easier to schedule a zoom call we can do that as well.
Thank you again for all the help!! Please see the attached for review.

Hi Celeste,
Here is a screenshot of tandem stalls from the Engineering Standards. No spacing requirement between these
spaces.
Regarding the request to provide three “columns” of tandem spaces, you can add this request in the project
description. It is typically processed as a Director’s Action application. However, since this is a CUP application that
would require Planning Commission approval (higher level review than Director), the request can be incorporated into
the application and PC make the decision on that request as part of the overall fraternity review.

Let me know if you need anything else.
Sincerely,
Hannah

Hi Hannah,
One more question for you, if the parking stalls have to be 18.' x 8.6', do you know how far apart they need to be
spaced both side by side and tandem? We are going to propose more than one car parked in a tandem
formation for directors action. With 3 cars parked in tandem for a total of 6 cars. We can widen the driveway if
needed. Thanks!

Hi Celeste,
Thank you for reaching out. To follow up on our conversation, linked below are the resources related to parking:
2020 Engineering Standards
o See Standard 2240 (on page 266 of the 447 page PDF) for the required dimensions of a parking space.
Minimum dimensions are a length of 18.4’ and width of 8.6’.
o Note – The spaces must be oriented/positioned in a way that requires no more than two maneuvers
(defined as a motion in either a forward or backward direction) to enter or exit.
Table 2-10 (R-4 Zone Development Standards)
o Parking spaces have a minimum required setback of 20 feet from the front property line.
Section 17.158.044
o Tandem parking is only allowed as a two space arrangement.
Let me know if you have any further questions. I am out of the office tomorrow (Friday), but will be able to circle back
with you on Monday.

Hello Hannah,
I wanted to reach out and introduce myself to you. I work for Urban Arena and am handling the edits to the letter
you sent regarding the edits you want made to the CUP involving 1327 Foothill Blvd. I have a couple questions
for you regarding the parking. I see that you want the required dimensions of the bay widths and stall lengths for
each space, required clearances for maneuverability, etc. I also see that the proposed stacked formation
cannot be arranged. On the SLO muni code, it says that all parking stalls shall comply with the parking bay
dimensions standards for average sized cars as provided in the engineering standard details. Could you provide
me with these details please? I see on your response letter that no more than two cars in tandem may be
requested. Can you clarify if that means two sets of tandem cars (4 total) or one set (2 total)? Thank you!

Hi Hannah,
I will type up some responses today to the letter and send back over. Thank you for attaching the letter again.
For the proposed parking layout, do the dimensions look right following the engineering standards? I made them
18.4' long but from your previous email, if they are in tandem, do they just need to be 18' long? Thanks!

Hi Celeste,
Hope you’re having a great 2025 as well!
Thanks for the revised plans. Do you also have written responses to comments in the letter that was sent out
(attached again for your convenience)? The responses are helpful in letting the reviewers know how you addressed
their comments. Also, there are some comments that are not addressed via the plans such as comment #1, which
includes revisions to the project description.
Thanks!

Hi Hannah,
Hope you were able to have an amazing holiday season and great start to 2025! I apologize for not following up
on this project in awhile but I am not back on track. I took some time today to layout a proposed parking plan to
allow for more spots. Please let me know your thoughts on this, I make each spot 9'x18.4' like we talked about, I
know the minimum width is 8.6' per on conversation. If there is anything that you would like be to dimension or
show, I will get that done. If you have any markups or if its easier to schedule a zoom call we can do that as well.
Thank you again for all the help!! Please see the attached for review.

Hi Celeste,
Here is a screenshot of tandem stalls from the Engineering Standards. No spacing requirement between these
spaces.
Regarding the request to provide three “columns” of tandem spaces, you can add this request in the project
description. It is typically processed as a Director’s Action application. However, since this is a CUP application that
would require Planning Commission approval (higher level review than Director), the request can be incorporated into
the application and PC make the decision on that request as part of the overall fraternity review.

Let me know if you need anything else.
Sincerely,
Hannah

Hi Hannah,
One more question for you, if the parking stalls have to be 18.' x 8.6', do you know how far apart they need to be
spaced both side by side and tandem? We are going to propose more than one car parked in a tandem
formation for directors action. With 3 cars parked in tandem for a total of 6 cars. We can widen the driveway if
needed. Thanks!

Hi Celeste,
Thank you for reaching out. To follow up on our conversation, linked below are the resources related to parking:
2020 Engineering Standards
o See Standard 2240 (on page 266 of the 447 page PDF) for the required dimensions of a parking space.
Minimum dimensions are a length of 18.4’ and width of 8.6’.
o Note – The spaces must be oriented/positioned in a way that requires no more than two maneuvers
(defined as a motion in either a forward or backward direction) to enter or exit.
Table 2-10 (R-4 Zone Development Standards)
o Parking spaces have a minimum required setback of 20 feet from the front property line.
Section 17.158.044
o Tandem parking is only allowed as a two space arrangement.
Let me know if you have any further questions. I am out of the office tomorrow (Friday), but will be able to circle back
with you on Monday.

Hello Hannah,
I wanted to reach out and introduce myself to you. I work for Urban Arena and am handling the edits to the letter
you sent regarding the edits you want made to the CUP involving 1327 Foothill Blvd. I have a couple questions
for you regarding the parking. I see that you want the required dimensions of the bay widths and stall lengths for
each space, required clearances for maneuverability, etc. I also see that the proposed stacked formation
cannot be arranged. On the SLO muni code, it says that all parking stalls shall comply with the parking bay
dimensions standards for average sized cars as provided in the engineering standard details. Could you provide
me with these details please? I see on your response letter that no more than two cars in tandem may be
requested. Can you clarify if that means two sets of tandem cars (4 total) or one set (2 total)? Thank you!

Dear City Council Members of San Luis Obispo,
I am contacting you on behalf of the Cal Poly Public Health Club, SLO Tenants Union, and the SLO County
Tobacco Control Coalition to ask you to prioritize health and safety in rental housing in your upcoming priorities
for the next two years.
Our organizations have received signatures from local residents that support prioritizing health and safety in
rental housing by focusing on these areas:
Require Deadbolts and Security Devices
Require Motion-Sensing Lighting
Strengthen Smoke, Carbon Monoxide, and Fire Alarm Regulations:
Adopt a Mold Ordinance
Create a Citywide Rent Registry
Require Renter Protections During Renovations
Implement Rent Stabilization Measures
Extend Secondhand Smoke Protections to Multi-Unit Housing
We attached the signed petition. We hope that you will take action to prioritize enacting requirements, policies,
and programs to increase tenant protections and address ongoing health and safety concerns in rental units.

Graves has received a notification of illegal fraternity activity from code enforcement, although ZBT lists 654

Graves as its main chapter house. They also operate an illegal fraternity at 1928 Garfield which is adjacent to
the Graves property, and received notification of illegal fraternity activity from code enforcement.
The "satellite showcase" on 1/18/2025 will likely be at 1646 Fredericks Street since it was held there during
October 2024 rush recruitment. It did receive a Notice of Violation and has continued to hold disruptive parties
with party tents in the backyard during this academic year.
Other documented locations for ZBT include 244 Albert, 2044 Loomis, and 1744 McCollum.

The main chapter house is at 1820 Hope Street and held a rush event there in October 2024. This property
received a Notice of Violation for illegal fraternity operations from code enforcement but continues to hold
fraternity-related events.
Theta Chi also held rush events in October 2024 at 249/250 Grand Avenue.
This is a popular fraternity and there are usually large crowds so the event should not be missed by an

Unsure where the Saturday 1/18 from 11 am - 2 pm event will be but documented houses are at 1276 Bond

on Friday 1/17/2025 will be at 348 Hathway and 1908 Loomis. During fall rush, they held the Casino Royal at

This is especially disturbing since the fraternity representative, Thomas Symer, told the Planning
Commission that LCA does not hold any fraternity-related events in the residential neighborhood. It was
subsequently disputed in the Appeal to the City Council, and the NOVs were shown during the
presentation. Still, they continue to illegally host fraternity events and loud parties, including last weekend,
at these addresses in low-density residential neighborhoods.
What are the consequences? A small fine does not work! This should somehow be tied to their CUP and
there should be some form of accountability.

Kappa Sigma: 281 Hathway (R-1) 322 Hathway (R-2) are the main locations but they also have locations at

Kappa Sigma has rush events on Friday 1/17 from 3 pm - 5 pm, Saturday 1/18 from 2 pm - 5 pm, and
Sunday from 5 pm - 8 pm. They could potentially be at any of these locations but most likely at 281

Other thoughts:
Each of the fraternities is passing out physical cards today on Dexter Lawn from 4 pm to 7 pm with the
addresses of rush events. Most of them are at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. Someone
could get those cards and it would save me a lot of time and effort to track down these illegal fraternities
that have already been identified and documented by Cal Poly's AB 524 report and other documentation.
Also, the illegal fraternities post booths in front of their houses during rush so are obvious to any
observer. City staff (code enforcement, SLOPD or a CSO) could drive around Alta Vista on Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday, and see the locations. I have sent you a list of the illegal frats that hosted events in
October 2024 and they will likely be the same this time around.

I have included some of the dates, times, and addresses below. Please follow up, document, and cite

I submitted these to AskSLO for fall rush events and code enforcement did not respond to most of the
events so am unsure how to handle it this time around. Please make sure someone goes out and cites
these events so we can document them and move toward getting the illegal fraternities out of our
neighborhoods. I will follow up as I receive more information about other fraternity events.
Sigma Nu: 1632 Fredericks Street and 385 Chaplin Lane.
Rush events at 1632 Fredericks Street will be on 1/18/2025 from 2 pm - 5 pm and at 385 Chaplin

Code enforcement sent an Advisory Letter related to illegal fraternity operations to 385 Chaplin Lane

A code case was created through AskSLO (request #8380) and code enforcement confirmed a violation
with a rush event held at 1632 Fredericks Street on 10/6/2024. It appears the violation did not deter the
fraternity because they are continuing to operate at that address.

received a Notice of Violation for illegal fraternity operations from code enforcement but continues to hold
fraternity-related events.
Theta Chi also held rush events in October 2024 at 249/250 Grand Avenue.
605
This is a popular fraternity and there are usually large crowds so the event should not be missed by an
observer.
Other documented locations for this fraternity include 496 Kentucky/1350 Stafford; 1441 Slack and 1661
McCollum.

This is especially disturbing since the fraternity representative, Thomas Symer, told the Planning
Commission that LCA does not hold any fraternity-related events in the residential neighborhood. It was
subsequently disputed in the Appeal to the City Counc il, and the NOVs were shown during the presentation.
Still, they continue to illegally host fraternity events and loud parties, including last weekend, at these
addresses in low-density residential neighborhoods.
What are the consequences? A small fine does not work! This should somehow be tied to their CUP and
there should be some form of accountability.

Each of the fraternities is passing out physical cards today on Dexter Lawn from 4 pm to 7 pm with the
addresses of rush events. Most of them are at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. Someone
could get those cards and it would save me a lot of time and effort to track down these illegal fraternities
that have already been identified and documented by Cal Poly's AB 524 report and other documentation.
Also, the illegal fraternities post booths in front of their houses during rush so are obvious to any observer.
City staff (code enforcement, SLOPD or a CSO) could drive around Alta Vista on Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, and see the locations. I have sent you a list of the illegal frats that hosted events in October 2024
and they will likely be the same this time around.

A code case was created through AskSLO (request #8380) and code enforcement confirmed a violation

fraternity because they are continuing to operate at that address.

Thank you, Kathie,
This is very helpful information.
Code enforcement is looking into the specific violations you have reported below, and they will be processed
accordingly. We appreciate the information about other Friday/Saturday/Sunday events as well and will be
looking into how we can best address those.
Thank you!

Each of the fraternities is passing out physical cards today on Dexter Lawn from 4 pm to 7 pm with the
addresses of rush events. Most of them are at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. Someone
could get those cards and it would save me a lot of time and effort to track down these illegal fraternities
that have already been identified and documented by Cal Poly's AB 524 report and other documentation.
Also, the illegal fraternities post booths in front of their houses during rush so are obvious to any observer.
City staff (code enforcement, SLOPD or a CSO) could drive around Alta Vista on Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, and see the locations. I have sent you a list of the illegal frats that hosted events in October 2024
and they will likely be the same this time around.

This weekend is the first of two weekends of Cal Poly IFC winter rush events.
I have included some of the dates, times, and addresses below. Please follow up, document, and cite
these illegal fraternity houses.
I submitted these to AskSLO for fall rush events and code enforcement did not respond to most of the

these events so we can document them and move toward getting the illegal fraternities out of our

the recruitment event. Instagram link: https://www.instagram.com/p/DE3GHeJTbVQ/?img_index=1

A code case was created through AskSLO (request #8380) and code enforcement confirmed a violation
with a rush event held at 1632 Fredericks Street on 10/6/2024. It appears the violation did not deter the
fraternity because they are continuing to operate at that address.

Zeta Beta Tau (No "permitted" fraternity houses)
Main House (Meet the brothers) Friday 1/17/2025 at 654 / 658 Graves which is the main chapter house. 658
Graves has received a notification of illegal fraternity activity from code enforcement, although ZBT lists 654
Graves as its main chapter house. They also operate an illegal fraternity at 1928 Garfield which is adjacent to
the Graves property, and received notification of illegal fraternity activity from code enforcement.
The "satellite showcase" on 1/18/2025 will likely be at 1646 Fredericks Street since it was held there during
October 2024 rush recruitment. It did receive a Notice of Violation and has continued to hold disruptive parties
with party tents in the backyard during this academic year.
Other documented locations for ZBT include 244 Albert, 2044 Loomis, and 1744 McCollum.

This is especially disturbing since the fraternity representative, Thomas Symer, told the Planning
Commission that LCA does not hold any fraternity-related events in the residential neighborhood. It was
subsequently disputed in the Appeal to the City Counc il, and the NOVs were shown during the presentation.
Still, they continue to illegally host fraternity events and loud parties, including last weekend, at these
addresses in low-density residential neighborhoods.
What are the consequences? A small fine does not work! This should somehow be tied to their CUP and
there should be some form of accountability.

Subject:Re: Rush Events at Illegal Fraternity Houses
Sorry for the late notice ... Fraternities are just now posting some rush events and I want to make sure this
makes it to code enforcement:
Phi Kappa Psi: Rush event on Sunday 1/19/2025 at "Pool House" at 2061 Hope Street from 2 pm - 5 pm.
Unsure where the Saturday 1/18 from 11 am - 2 pm event will be but documented houses are at 1276 Bond
Street and a rush event was held there in October 2024. Another documented fraternity location for Phi Kappa
Psi is three houses together at 1271, 1273 and 1275 Stafford.

Here's another: Phi Sigma Kappa. The absolute worst offender in our neighborhood at 348 Hathway. It also has
a satellite house at 1908 Loomis. Their rush schedule does not list specific times but the "house tours" on
Friday 1/17/2025 will be at 348 Hathway and 1908 Loomis. During fall rush, they held the Casino Royal at 1908
Loomis, too. Unfortunately, the don't list times but it would be fairly simple to check on them throughout Friday
afternoon/evening at 348 Hathway and you will find the rush event.

This is especially disturbing since the fraternity representative, Thomas Symer, told the Planning Commission
that LCA does not hold any fraternity-related events in the residential neighborhood. It was subsequently
disputed in the Appeal to the City Council, and the NOVs were shown during the presentation. Still, they
continue to illegally host fraternity events and loud parties, including last weekend, at these addresses in low-
density residential neighborhoods.
What are the consequences? A small fine does not work! This should somehow be tied to their CUP and there
should be some form of accountability.

Kappa Sigma: 281 Hathway (R-1) 322 Hathway (R-2) are the main locations but they also have locations at
1990 McCollum, 293 Albert 1861 Hope, and some others. All of these locations are in Alta Vista or Monterey

Kappa Sigma has rush events on Friday 1/17 from 3 pm - 5 pm, Saturday 1/18 from 2 pm - 5 pm, and Sunday
from 5 pm - 8 pm. They could potentially be at any of these locations but most likely at 281 Hathway and 322

Other thoughts:
Each of the fraternities is passing out physical cards today on Dexter Lawn from 4 pm to 7 pm with the
addresses of rush events. Most of them are at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. Someone could
get those cards and it would save me a lot of time and effort to track down these illegal fraternities that have
already been identified and documented by Cal Poly's AB 524 report and other documentation.
Also, the illegal fraternities post booths in front of their houses during rush so are obvious to any observer.
City staff (code enforcement, SLOPD or a CSO) could drive around Alta Vista on Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, and see the locations. I have sent you a list of the illegal frats that hosted events in October 2024
and they will likely be the same this time around.

I submitted these to AskSLO for fall rush events and code enforcement did not respond to most of the

A code case was created through AskSLO (request #8380) and code enforcement confirmed a violation
with a rush event held at 1632 Fredericks Street on 10/6/2024. It appears the violation did not deter the
fraternity because they are continuing to operate at that address.

Hello,
Here is the RQN agenda correspondence, attached, as well as an email from Nicola regarding rental housing
safety. Please analyze the overlaps with these documents and the Tenant Union's (TU), and get back to me
with a few paragraphs before I contact RQN. Here is their website https://rqn-slo.org/ They are protective of
peace and quiet in the neighborhoods, but have not overtly addressed the fact that many of the permanent
residents they are concerned about are, indeed, renters. RQN's anti fraternity stance may make some TU
people uncomfortable. TU's student friendly stance may make some RQ!N people uncomfortable. BUT there
is a lot of common ground. If these 2 groups could collaborate, they could make a huge impact in my
opinion.
I would like to set up a meeting with RQN and TU for Monday 1-20. That's the only day I have free

Dear City Council Members of San Luis Obispo,
I am contacting you on behalf of the Cal Poly Public Health Club, SLO Tenants Union, and the SLO County
Tobacco Control Coalition to ask you to prioritize health and safety in rental housing in your upcoming
priorities for the next two years.
Our organizations have received signatures from local residents that support prioritizing health and safety in
rental housing by focusing on these areas:
Require Deadbolts and Security Devices
Require Motion-Sensing Lighting
Strengthen Smoke, Carbon Monoxide, and Fire Alarm Regulations:
Adopt a Mold Ordinance
Create a Citywide Rent Registry
Require Renter Protections During Renovations
Implement Rent Stabilization Measures
Extend Secondhand Smoke Protections to Multi-Unit Housing
We attached the signed petition. We hope that you will take action to prioritize enacting requirements,
policies, and programs to increase tenant protections and address ongoing health and safety concerns in
rental units.
Thank you,

Attachments:RQN 1-14-25 budget request
Hello,
Here is the RQN agenda correspondence, attached, as well as an email from Nicola regarding rental housing
safety. Please analyze the overlaps with these documents and the Tenant Union's (TU), and get back to me with
a few paragraphs before I contact RQN. Here is their website https://rqn-slo.org/ They are protective of peace
and quiet in the neighborhoods, but have not overtly addressed the fact that many of the permanent residents
they are concerned about are, indeed, renters. RQN's anti fraternity stance may make some TU people
uncomfortable. TU's student friendly stance may make some RQ!N people uncomfortable. BUT there is a lot of
common ground. If these 2 groups could collaborate, they could make a huge impact in my opinion.
I would like to set up a meeting with RQN and TU for Monday 1-20. That's the only day I have free before January
23. If you can get back to me today, I will move on it today and try to make the meeting happen. As to time,
when are you available?
Looking forward,
Jan

Cal Poly sits on the traditional lands of the yak titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini Northern Chumash Tribe of San Luis Obispo County and Region. The yak titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini
have a documented presence in this area for over 10,000 years. The tiłhini peoples have stewarded their ancestral and unceded homelands which include all
of the cities, communities, federal and state open spaces within the San Luis Obispo County region. These homelands extend East into the Carrizo Plains
toward Kern County, South to the Santa Maria River, North to Ragged Point, and West beyond the ocean’s shoreline in an unbroken chain of lineage, kinship,

State California Ballot Bowl and registered 1,531 new voters at Cal Poly and
received the highest percentage of students registered to vote in the CSU

b. Proposal for Outreach & Engagement – Lucia Landeros
1. Lucia shared the proposal requesting up to $575 to fund SCLC outreach and
engagement strategies. The proposal is seeking the following:
a. $200 in funding for the purchase of the survey incentive
b. $375 in funding for payment of Good Morning SLO fees
i. $225 “Soapbox” fee
ii. $150 Non-member fees (five additional SCLC members to attend)
2. The rationale behind the proposal is to enhance community and student
relations. One of SCLC’s goals is to promote positive relations and improve
the quality of life for all citizens of San Luis Obispo. The investments
outlined above will help us better understand actionable strategies for
implementation while simultaneously expanding membership.
3. The communication plan included the ASI marketing team leading the
development of the flier. Promotional items will be shared to all partners for

members is “Don’t Come.” He stated that campus and city administration
hear the concerns from the community and with early planning will help
circumvent reoccurring issues. Discussion has occurred with Chico State
and Santa Barbara and will implement efforts that have been successful.
3. With the same goal in mind, safety is top priority, and the end goal is for
non-community members to not come to San Luis Obispo and end “St.
Fratty’s Day for good.”
A. Voting Member Reports
a. Voting members gave their reports.
1. Colin gave an update on the Meet Your Neighbors campaign and stated that

Thank you, Timmi! Here's another:
Kappa Sigma: 281 Hathway (R-1) 322 Hathway (R-2) are the main locations but they also have locations at 1990
McCollum, 293 Albert 1861 Hope, and some others. All of these locations are in Alta Vista or Monterey Heights.
Kappa Sigma has rush events on Friday 1/17 from 3 pm - 5 pm, Saturday 1/18 from 2 pm - 5 pm, and Sunday
from 5 pm - 8 pm. They could potentially be at any of these locations but most likely at 281 Hathway and 322
Hathway. As mentioned, if someone was in our neighborhood during these times, it would be apparent that the
rush events are happening.

Thank you, Kathie,
This is very helpful information.
Code enforcement is looking into the specific violations you have reported below, and they will be processed
accordingly. We appreciate the information about other Friday/Saturday/Sunday events as well and will be looking
into how we can best address those.

addresses of rush events. Most of them are at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. Someone could get
those cards and it would save me a lot of time and effort to track down these illegal fraternities that have
already been identified and documented by Cal Poly's AB 524 report and other documentation.
Also, the illegal fraternities post booths in front of their houses during rush so are obvious to any observer. City
staff (code enforcement, SLOPD or a CSO) could drive around Alta Vista on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and
see the locations. I have sent you a list of the illegal frats that hosted events in October 2024 and they will likely
be the same this time around.

I submitted these to AskSLO for fall rush events and code enforcement did not respond to most of the events

so we can document them and move toward getting the illegal fraternities out of our neighborhoods. I will

A code case was created through AskSLO (request #8380) and code enforcement confirmed a violation with a
rush event held at 1632 Fredericks Street on 10/6/2024. It appears the violation did not deter the fraternity
because they are continuing to operate at that address.

Good morning Steve,
Thank you for reaching out to me! You are correct that we received feedback from Associate Planner Hannah
Hanh with comments to correct our CUP application toward the end of October. Over the past two months, we
have been working closely with our partners to address all errors in the floor and site plans. I resolved the
administrative issues, such as the project description, early in the process. We will submit a revised application
to Hannah by the end of this week.
Securing the Conditional Use Permit remains our chapter's highest priority and I thank you for your
continued communication. If you have any further questions, feel free to let me know!
Have a great Thursday!

Good afternoon Ben,
I am writing to follow up on how things are going with the use permit. It looks like comments were sent back in
October as to what was needed.
751
I also wanted to follow up as we were advised there was a citation issued at the property on the 11 th of this month.
The Police Log stated there were over 120 persons on-site. I have not found evidence that this is related to the
fraternity organization. However, if evidence is obtained that the residence is being used for fraternity business or
events, citations will likely be issued.

I just got a message from Ben Hamik who said he left voice mail letting you know that the Use Permit application is being

I hope you are doing well. I am reaching out for an update on the use permit situation. With school starting again, I
am assuming the group may be planning events at the residence. Without an approved use permit, any events would

Hi David,
I spoke with my supervisor regarding the requested grace period. It was determined that we will not be overlooking
events without use permit approval. You will need to obtain the necessary permits before holding events. A citation
will be issued for any events that our office is able to show evidence of having occurred. In your discussions with
Rachel you might want to find out if there is an avenue for any temporary event approvals.

Good afternoon Steve
As we discussed earlier this week, please find below the planned schedule of activities for the fraternity at 1327 E. Foothill Blvd. It is my
understanding that this list has already been provided to the University. I have been in touch with City Senior Planner Rachel Cohen about
the submittal requirements and process for the requested CUP and believe we can have that application submitted to the City by April 15 th
and certainly no later than April 30th.
In consideration that:
the fraternity is in good standing with the University – via the Campus Recognized Sorority and Fraternity Transparency Act
has been operating successfully in this campus adjacent location for the last 10 years
is operating on an R4 lot adjacent to other fraternities, sororities and student housing
they will be continuing its existing event notification process with the University
there will be no activities during Summer quarter
we will be filing the proper CUP application with the City in the next 30-45 days
we request that the fraternity be allowed to continue to operate at this location with the below list of activities under a ‘grace period’ for
the next 90 days or until such time at the CUP is granted by the City. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Each of the fraternities is passing out physical cards today on Dexter Lawn from 4 pm to 7 pm with the
addresses of rush events. Most of them are at illegal fraternity houses in our neighborhood. Someone could get
those cards and it would save me a lot of time and effort to track down these illegal fraternities that have already
been identified and documented by Cal Poly's AB 524 report and other documentation.
Also, the illegal fraternities post booths in front of their houses during rush so are obvious to any observer. City
staff (code enforcement, SLOPD or a CSO) could drive around Alta Vista on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and
see the locations. I have sent you a list of the illegal frats that hosted events in October 2024 and they will likely
be the same this time around.

A code case was created through AskSLO (request #8380) and code enforcement confirmed a violation with a
rush event held at 1632 Fredericks Street on 10/6/2024. It appears the violation did not deter the fraternity

Hi Team,
As we discussed last Tuesday, we will begin an effort to create SOPs and/or work instructions for each unique
enforcement process that the Code Enforcement Division undertakes. So far, I have come up with the below list of
processes that will either need a unique SOP or work instruction. Harriet is working on creating an SOP template that
we can use to develop these. My list is in no way exhaustive, just the first ones that come to mind for me. Please take
a moment to review the list and come prepared to discuss how we might organize these processes (or any others you
can think of) and which one need to be a unique SOP or can be developed as work instructions within one SOP.
Enforcement of Neighborhood Wellness violations
Enforcement of general Code Enforcement violations
Enforcement of Stormwater Regulations
Enforcement of Shopping Cart Ordinance violations
Enforcement of Graffiti
Enforcement of Unpermitted Homestays & Short Term Rentals
Enforcement of Tree Regulations
Enforcement of Creeks, Tributaries and Riparian Corridor Regulations
Annual Fraternity/Sorority Inspections
Annual Inspection of Post Construction Stormwater Devices
Safe Housing, Multi Unit Inspection per HS 17910.7
Nuisance Abatement Process
Recording on title
Abatement of inoperable vehicles on private property

Subject: Community Goals on tonight’s agenda
This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Seasonal respiratory illnesses preclude attendance at tonight’s meeting, and so I will belatedly offer a brief summary
of what I might have commented about.
From the cranky response of the automated verification system when I originally attempted to fill out the survey, I am
not sure whether my perspectives, well known to some of you I’m sure, were captured.
In looking at the survey responses in the agenda package, almost all seem worthy, but I would like to offer another
integrated approach that recognizes the needs/issues of the constituencies that are impacted when thinking about
community level goals.
There are at least two ways of looking at goals that will benefit all constituencies.
I. Neighborhoods
One could be done through the reasonable filter of neighborhoods which often reflect a diversity of constituencies
that might get lost in just addressing the general issue.
For example, expanding affordable housing in R-1 areas, and maintaining a close relationship with Cal Poly are
commendable but have led to a problem with the residents of surrounding neighborhoods which continues to be
overlooked except during Saint Fratty’s Day.
Using neighborhood integrity and wellbeing as a criteria for analysis would seemingly increase the efforts to reign in
unauthorized fraternity residences and seriously address those neighborhood issues.
I can think of several other general worthy goals that have had that impact of being tone deaf to neighborhoods (e.g.
the rv safe parking plan for Palm Street). It was obvious that the worthy goal — safe homeless housing — was being
implemented in a way that was causing more problems than it was resolving.
II. Anticipating the Impact on often unrepresented groups.
2
Among the many under represented groups that often get overlooked when general goals are being considered and
implemented, the numerically growing senior and disabled population is a good example of the unimagined
consequences of city initiatives.
As an example, when the parking structure fee increase was made with the accompanying host of new procedures,
technology and apps unfolding, the confusion was as disruptive to seniors as the fee increase itself.
Although the lines for help in the parking structures were also populated by younger confused patrons, the
percentage of seniors was much greater. The default assumption that must have framed the creation of these
technologically challenging procedures must have envisioned a belief that Slo was comprised of technologically
sophisticated younger people.
Another example has to do with the traffic calming initiatives which have had the perhaps unintended consequences
of making many senior drivers (who traditionally are safer drivers than the general population) more uncomfortable
in driving in their own town.
The senior/disabled population does not fit into our stereotypical view of the Slo life, but consistent with the recent
report to the Santa Barbara BOS, this population is growing with a whole series of issues that will only grow over the
next decade in our community which should be embracing a broad definition of inclusivity.
While I am more intimately aware of the needs of this particular group, I can imagine the perspectives of other
segments of under represented constituencies would increase the likelihood that the quest to fill general goals with
benefit the whole community.
HEALTH CARE CRISIS
An independent unintended consequence of our quest at increasing the housing stock in this desirable community is
that it is increasing the population that cannot find adequate healthcare because we are considered a rural
community and cannot keep/attract enough doctors.
Like the availability of other infrastructure services, it seems prudent to consider whether or not a new development
will place new residents in this predicament and make finding healthcare more difficult for the residents who are
already here.
Thanks for your consideration and I am sorry I will not be attending tonight.

Hi fellas,
Just checking in to let you know my team and I just rolled into town. My apologies we haven’t talked prior, I got
covered up on a project right after the first of the year and have been buried.
We look forward to visiting tomorrow morning and are very grateful for your time in hosting us.
Thank you,

Good afternoon, thank you for the interest in visiting Chico, we welcome your visit! I would be more than
happy to accommodate your teams visit and we can have a good discussion on the work that has been
done to solve the problems associated to holidays around Chico. I would also like to invite the Chief from
Chico State PD (Chris Nicodemus-CC’d in this thread) as he will also have some insight. Let me know the
dates and we will get it set up!
Looking forward to meeting all of you,

Good Morning Chief Aldridge,
Hoping this email finds you and your team well these days. I wanted to introduce myself and ask for
some assistance from Chico PD. I have been the Chief for San Luis Obispo for about four years now. I
think SLO is a bit smaller than Chico, but similar to you, we have Cal Poly University San Luis Obispo.
As I am sure you can relate, our college neighbor creates issues for law enforcement throughout the
school year related to house parties, drinking, noise, and fraternity shenanigans. However, one event is
above all others and growing increasingly worrisome for the department and community.

Each year around St. Patrick’s Day, the college (off campus) hold St. Fratty’s Day. The amorphous
street party saw approximately 8000 participants from SLO and other college campuses from several
states away. Over the years we’ve increased our efforts to stop is with little impact as it is now growing.
In the past there have been riots and a roof collapse. As I research solutions, I continue to hear that the
work done in Chico around Pioneer Days and other events is the standard for how to curb bad college
behavior. My ask is that a small group from my team come to Chico for a few hours to discuss
strategies and learn from your command personnel responsible for planning and executing the ops
plans.
If you are ok helping us out, I will be sending a Deputy Chief, Operations Lieutenant, and probably a
Sergeant, and myself. Ideally, we would hope to come for a visit as soon as mid-December or later in
January.
Thank you, sir, for your consideration.

For the proposed parking layout, do the dimensions look right following the engineering standards? I made them

Hi Hannah,
Hope you were able to have an amazing holiday season and great start to 2025! I apologize for not following up
on this project in awhile but I am not back on track. I took some time today to layout a proposed parking plan to
allow for more spots. Please let me know your thoughts on this, I make each spot 9'x18.4' like we talked about, I
know the minimum width is 8.6' per on conversation. If there is anything that you would like be to dimension or
show, I will get that done. If you have any markups or if its easier to schedule a zoom call we can do that as well.
Thank you again for all the help!! Please see the attached for review.

Hi Celeste,
Here is a screenshot of tandem stalls from the Engineering Standards. No spacing requirement between these
spaces.
Regarding the request to provide three “columns” of tandem spaces, you can add this request in the project
description. It is typically processed as a Director’s Action application. However, since this is a CUP application that
would require Planning Commission approval (higher level review than Director), the request can be incorporated into
the application and PC make the decision on that request as part of the overall fraternity review.

One more question for you, if the parking stalls have to be 18.' x 8.6', do you know how far apart they need to be
spaced both side by side and tandem? We are going to propose more than one car parked in a tandem
formation for directors action. With 3 cars parked in tandem for a total of 6 cars. We can widen the driveway if
needed. Thanks!

Hi Celeste,
Thank you for reaching out. To follow up on our conversation, linked below are the resources related to parking:
2020 Engineering Standards
o See Standard 2240 (on page 266 of the 447 page PDF) for the required dimensions of a parking space.
Minimum dimensions are a length of 18.4’ and width of 8.6’.
o Note – The spaces must be oriented/positioned in a way that requires no more than two maneuvers
(defined as a motion in either a forward or backward direction) to enter or exit.
Table 2-10 (R-4 Zone Development Standards)
o Parking spaces have a minimum required setback of 20 feet from the front property line.
Section 17.158.044
o Tandem parking is only allowed as a two space arrangement.
Let me know if you have any further questions. I am out of the office tomorrow (Friday), but will be able to circle back
with you on Monday.

Hello Hannah,
I wanted to reach out and introduce myself to you. I work for Urban Arena and am handling the edits to the letter
you sent regarding the edits you want made to the CUP involving 1327 Foothill Blvd. I have a couple questions
for you regarding the parking. I see that you want the required dimensions of the bay widths and stall lengths for
each space, required clearances for maneuverability, etc. I also see that the proposed stacked formation
cannot be arranged. On the SLO muni code, it says that all parking stalls shall comply with the parking bay
dimensions standards for average sized cars as provided in the engineering standard details. Could you provide
me with these details please? I see on your response letter that no more than two cars in tandem may be
requested. Can you clarify if that means two sets of tandem cars (4 total) or one set (2 total)? Thank you!

Brian,
Here is a handful of generic talking points for SCLC:
Theme this year instead of “know before you go” is Know not to go”.
PD in the early stages of planning for St. Fratty’s day to include securing outside resources for assistance for a
massive police response.
Early communications will begin in the next couple of years, with the heaviest volume of safety messaging
going out in early March.
We are coordinating with our local LE partners on what to expect.
We have meet with RQN to share limited specifics on our plans and to hear perspectives on negative impacts
to the neighborhood.
The Safety enhancement zone will run the Friday before St. Pats and the two weekends prior.
We are actively participating in the Cal Poly St. Patrick’s Task Team which continues to meet to define action
items.
Thank you,
Rick

b. Proposal for Outreach & Engagement – Lucia Landeros
1. Lucia shared the proposal requesting up to $575 to fund SCLC outreach and

i. $225 “Soapbox” fee
ii. $150 Non-member fees (five additional SCLC members to attend)

I hope you had a happy holiday season!
I wanted to check-in with you regarding this PRR for fraternity documents. I spoke with the reporter, and she wants us
to continue processing the request, even though the article has been published.
As a follow-up to our meeting, I just wanted to see if you had spoken with the reporter recently and whether you have
heard any more from Kathy Walker about the status of her complaint against Cal Poly?
Sadie will be overseeing the production from this point forward and we’ll be sure to give you an advanced heads-up on
any potential issues we see in the production batches moving forward.
Oh, I found a copy of Cal Poly’s AB 524 report in a cached page of their website (see attached in case you don’t have
a copy).
Thank you for your help on this project!!

Cal Poly sits on the traditional lands of the yak titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini Northern Chumash Tribe of San Luis Obispo County and Region. The yak
titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini have a documented presence in this area for over 10,000 years. The tiłhini peoples have stewarded their ancestral and
unceded homelands which include all of the cities, communities, federal and state open spaces within the San Luis Obispo County region.
These homelands extend East into the Carrizo Plains toward Kern County, South to the Santa Maria River, North to Ragged Point, and
West beyond the ocean’s shoreline in an unbroken chain of lineage, kinship, and culture.

Subject:RE: 1327 E. Foothill Blvd - Use Permit
Good afternoon Ben,
I am writing to follow up on how things are going with the use permit. It looks like comments were sent back in October
as to what was needed.
I also wanted to follow up as we were advised there was a citation issued at the property on the 11 th of this month. The
Police Log stated there were over 120 persons on-site. I have not found evidence that this is related to the fraternity
organization. However, if evidence is obtained that the residence is being used for fraternity business or events,
citations will likely be issued.
Thank you,

I hope you are doing well. I am reaching out for an update on the use permit situation. With school starting again, I am
assuming the group may be planning events at the residence. Without an approved use permit, any events would be
subject to a citation from our department.

Hi David,

I spoke with my supervisor regarding the requested grace period. It was determined that we will not be overlooking
events without use permit approval. You will need to obtain the necessary permits before holding events. A citation will
be issued for any events that our office is able to show evidence of having occurred. In your discussions with Rachel
you might want to find out if there is an avenue for any temporary event approvals.

Good afternoon Steve
As we discussed earlier this week, please find below the planned schedule of activities for the fraternity at 1327 E. Foothill Blvd. It is my
understanding that this list has already been provided to the University. I have been in touch with City Senior Planner Rachel Cohen about
the submittal requirements and process for the requested CUP and believe we can have that application submitted to the City by April 15 th
and certainly no later than April 30 th.
In consideration that:
the fraternity is in good standing with the University – via the Campus Recognized Sorority and Fraternity Transparency Act
has been operating successfully in this campus adjacent location for the last 10 years
is operating on an R4 lot adjacent to other fraternities, sororities and student housing
they will be continuing its existing event notification process with the University
there will be no activities during Summer quarter
we will be filing the proper CUP application with the City in the next 30-45 days
we request that the fraternity be allowed to continue to operate at this location with the below list of activities under a ‘grace period’ for the
next 90 days or until such time at the CUP is granted by the City. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions.
Thank you.

Hi Taylor,
Thanks for wriƟng in. Contrary to what many may think, this is a much more complicated issue than just needing more staff fo r
enforcement. CooperaƟon from Cal Poly in holding their students accountable for poor behavior, good communicaƟon between
campus and city staff about problem houses and students, and limitaƟons to what we can do with municipal code are also key
issues to consider and finding the right methods and tasks to tackle this joint problem are important, so we don't collec Ɵvely
keep trying to uƟlize incomplete soluƟons.
I appreciate the senƟment though, and whether the term "neighborhood wellness" is the right one or not, I definitely intend to
support items in our two year work program that will work toward beƩer soluƟons in this area.
Thanks again for weighing in.
Michelle

Council,
I’m wriƟng to encourage you to adopt Neighborhood Wellness as a major City goal for 2025 - 2027. I am fortunate to live in a
wonderful neighborhood in SLO, but both of my parents live in neighborhoods that have been significantly altered by student
rentals, in parƟcular fraternity houses. I believe the Planning Commission included it as an issue that they will she focused on, so
it would make sense that the City aligns with that.
It seems like the City has limited resources to enforce their municipal code, so this issue hasn’t been addressed. If the issue is
adopted at a major City goal, would that open funding to support the City in its efforts? I’m hopeful that would be the case so
that there will be enough resources to address this since year a Ōer year it gets worse and expands. While I enjoy the vibrancy
that student add to the City, it’s the fraterniƟes specifically that create a nuisance.
Much of my childhood in SLO, my parents were renters. I’ve lived in many neighborhoods across the City and have seen a ton of
change, which comes with pros and cons like anything. My dad purchased an house off of Foothill near the base of Cerro San Lu is
over 20 years ago and has had fraternity houses move nearby in the past few years. How can they be operaƟng in R2
neighborhoods? Why are their loud parƟes not receiving citaƟons? As Cal Poly conƟnues to increase enrollment, the issue will
only compound. I’m hopeful the City will include Neighborhood Wellness as a goal to insure residents and students can both
enjoy their right to live in peace.

It seems like the City has limited resources to enforce their municipal code, so this issue hasn’t been addressed. If the

be the case so that there will be enough resources to address this since year after year it gets worse and expands.
While I enjoy the vibrancy that student add to the City, it’s the fraternities specifically that create a nuisance.

Much of my childhood in SLO, my parents were renters. I’ve lived in many neighborhoods across the City and have
seen a ton of change, which comes with pros and cons like anything. My dad purchased an house off of Foothill near
the base of Cerro San Luis over 20 years ago and has had fraternity houses move nearby in the past few years. How
can they be operating in R2 neighborhoods? Why are their loud parties not receiving citations? As Cal Poly continues
to increase enrollment, the issue will only compound. I’m hopeful the City will include Neighborhood Wellness as a

I hope you had a happy holiday season!
I wanted to check-in with you regarding this PRR for fraternity documents. I spoke with the reporter, and she wants us
to continue processing the request, even though the article has been published.
As a follow-up to our meeting, I just wanted to see if you had spoken with the reporter recently and whether you have
heard any more from Kathy Walker about the status of her complaint against Cal Poly?
Sadie will be overseeing the production from this point forward and we’ll be sure to give you an advanced heads-up on
any potential issues we see in the production batches moving forward.
Oh, I found a copy of Cal Poly’s AB 524 report in a cached page of their website (see attached in case you don’t have
a copy).
Thank you for your help on this project!!

Mr. Slem,
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your input in this thoughtful and civil way. I enjoyed reading your input and I
especially appreciate the balanced and respectful tone with which you chose to convey your thoughts. It’s a
refreshing form of advocacy, and in my opinion, a far more persuasive way to approach complicated issues than we
too often see with the inflamed rhetoric that seems too often to have become the norm these days.
I hope you are feeling better soon, and thanks again!
Best,
Christine

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.

Seasonal respiratory illnesses preclude attendance at tonight’s meeting, and so I will belatedly offer a brief summary
of what I might have commented about.
From the cranky response of the automated verification system when I originally attempted to fill out the survey, I am
not sure whether my perspectives, well known to some of you I’m sure, were captured.
In looking at the survey responses in the agenda package, almost all seem worthy, but I would like to offer another
integrated approach that recognizes the needs/issues of the constituencies that are impacted when thinking about
community level goals.
There are at least two ways of looking at goals that will benefit all constituencies.
I. Neighborhoods
One could be done through the reasonable filter of neighborhoods which often reflect a diversity of constituencies
that might get lost in just addressing the general issue.
For example, expanding affordable housing in R-1 areas, and maintaining a close relationship with Cal Poly are
commendable but have led to a problem with the residents of surrounding neighborhoods which continues to be
overlooked except during Saint Fratty’s Day.
Using neighborhood integrity and wellbeing as a criteria for analysis would seemingly increase the efforts to reign in
unauthorized fraternity residences and seriously address those neighborhood issues.
I can think of several other general worthy goals that have had that impact of being tone deaf to neighborhoods (e.g.
the rv safe parking plan for Palm Street). It was obvious that the worthy goal — safe homeless housing — was being
implemented in a way that was causing more problems than it was resolving.
II. Anticipating the Impact on often unrepresented groups.
Among the many under represented groups that often get overlooked when general goals are being considered and
implemented, the numerically growing senior and disabled population is a good example of the unimagined
consequences of city initiatives.
As an example, when the parking structure fee increase was made with the accompanying host of new procedures,
technology and apps unfolding, the confusion was as disruptive to seniors as the fee increase itself.
Although the lines for help in the parking structures were also populated by younger confused patrons, the
percentage of seniors was much greater. The default assumption that must have framed the creation of these
technologically challenging procedures must have envisioned a belief that Slo was comprised of technologically
sophisticated younger people.
Another example has to do with the traffic calming initiatives which have had the perhaps unintended consequences
of making many senior drivers (who traditionally are safer drivers than the general population) more uncomfortable
in driving in their own town.
The senior/disabled population does not fit into our stereotypical view of the Slo life, but consistent with the recent
report to the Santa Barbara BOS, this population is growing with a whole series of issues that will only grow over the
next decade in our community which should be embracing a broad definition of inclusivity.
53
While I am more intimately aware of the needs of this particular group, I can imagine the perspectives of other
segments of under represented constituencies would increase the likelihood that the quest to fill general goals with
benefit the whole community.
HEALTH CARE CRISIS
An independent unintended consequence of our quest at increasing the housing stock in this desirable community is
that it is increasing the population that cannot find adequate healthcare because we are considered a rural
community and cannot keep/attract enough doctors.
Like the availability of other infrastructure services, it seems prudent to consider whether or not a new development
will place new residents in this predicament and make finding healthcare more difficult for the residents who are
already here.
Thanks for your consideration and I am sorry I will not be attending tonight.

Hi John!
Thanks so much for this helpful information. I do have a couple of follow-up questions regarding how to ID
Greek houses in R-1 neighborhoods.
From your email, my impression is there has to be evidence that they hold meetings or events there, though not
necessarily events that create disturbances? Yet it's disturbances that put them on the radar, right?. And even
then, there has to be multiple instances to trigger a nuisance abatement.
I'm wondering if there's a less cumbersome process that we could advocate for that would satisfy neighbors but
allow satellite houses to remain. I saw that Berkeley has a registration process for minidorms that requires a
public listing of the responsible person in charge and a record of past complaints. Do you think something like
that could work here ... or are there other avenues that could work?
Thanks again!

Hi Stephanie,
If a fraternity is operating without a permit we typically start with our standard escalating fine schedule of $100
for the first violation, $200 for the second, $500 for the third/each subsequent violation. There is the possibility
that a property can be declared a public nuisance per SLOMC 8.24 for more than two loud or unruly
assemblages in any sixty-day period that threatens the public peace, health, safety or general welfare and
requires a police response to control the threat to the public peace, health, safety, or general welfare. This
may result in some form of abatement but cannot say it would necessarily result in ordering the property
vacated. I am not aware of any recorded examples of the nuisance process being used in this manner.
In response to your second question, fraternity members can live in a residence in any zone and still be in
compliance with city code. In order to determine that a location is in violation of municipal code, we would
need to show that the use of the property meets the city’s definition of a fraternity/sorority. The definition
requires that fraternity members live on site AND that the association holds meetings or gatherings at the
location:
Fraternities and Sororities. Residence for college or university students who are members of a social or
educational association that is affiliated and in good standing with the California Polytechnic State
University and where such an association also holds meetings or gatherings.
I hope this answers your questions. Let me know if I can be of any more help.

Hello!
I'm the opinion editor at The Tribune and am following up on Sadie's story on fraternities. She suggested you
might be able to help me with a few questions:
If a fraternity is operating in an unpermitted zone and is holding events in violation of city code, is a fine (or
repeated fines) the only recourse? Can a fraternity ever be evicted?
Also, if a frat is in an unpermitted location but does not have events that lead to complaints, is it operating
within the law?
If you could possibly get back to me by around 10:30 a.m. tomorrow, that would be great.
I can be reached by return email or on my cell, 805-459-6762.
Thanks so much,
Stephanie Finucane

Please include neighborhood wellness for future goals of San Luis Obispo. Our neighborhoods are deteriorating
with traffic, noise, unhoused issues. Fraternity houses are known to cause noise and distress for owners of
homes. Illegal parties and activities are causing noise and distress. Out of control building is causing an
increase in air pollution and traffic. Parking and traffic are terrible even in neighborhoods. Quality of life has
decreased noticably in San Luis Obispo. While activities and growth is necessary the rapid pace, quality and
disregard for existing residence is obvious. You work for us! We pay so much for housing, tax, rental etc. let's be
inclusive to change without the complete rapid fire reaction. You are driving many people away and causing
stress and anxiety to residence especially elderly who don't have bikes and can't easily sell homes and move.

Hi Jan,
I'm writing because I just discovered that a number of emails that have been sent to Council about the
Tribune fraternity article and even some resident comments for tonight's meeting haven't been posted under
Agenda Correspondence or Public Comment. The Clerk told an RQN member that these emails are in an
Archive somewhere not accessible to the public. That really surprised me since I thought any comments
from the public before a meeting would be posted at least under Public Comment if they aren't designated
under an Agenda Item. There are two residents who have written in about the fraternity and noise problems
in neighborhoods that are relevant to Neighborhood Wellness that apparently have been placed in this
inaccessible archive.
Would you please check on this and find out if this is appropriate? It seems the public should have a right to
know what people are saying about these neighborhood issues.
Thanks as always for your neighborhood advocacy.

For the proposed parking layout, do the dimensions look right following the engineering standards? I made them
18.4' long but from your previous email, if they are in tandem, do they just need to be 18' long? Thanks!

Hi Hannah,
Hope you were able to have an amazing holiday season and great start to 2025! I apologize for not following up
on this project in awhile but I am not back on track. I took some time today to layout a proposed parking plan to
allow for more spots. Please let me know your thoughts on this, I make each spot 9'x18.4' like we talked about, I
know the minimum width is 8.6' per on conversation. If there is anything that you would like be to dimension or
show, I will get that done. If you have any markups or if its easier to schedule a zoom call we can do that as well.
Thank you again for all the help!! Please see the attached for review.

Hi Celeste,
Here is a screenshot of tandem stalls from the Engineering Standards. No spacing requirement between these
spaces.
Regarding the request to provide three “columns” of tandem spaces, you can add this request in the project
description. It is typically processed as a Director’s Action application. However, since this is a CUP application that
would require Planning Commission approval (higher level review than Director), the request can be incorporated into
the application and PC make the decision on that request as part of the overall fraternity review.

Hi Hannah,
One more question for you, if the parking stalls have to be 18.' x 8.6', do you know how far apart they need to be
spaced both side by side and tandem? We are going to propose more than one car parked in a tandem
formation for directors action. With 3 cars parked in tandem for a total of 6 cars. We can widen the driveway if
needed. Thanks!

Hi Celeste,
Thank you for reaching out. To follow up on our conversation, linked below are the resources related to parking:
2020 Engineering Standards
o See Standard 2240 (on page 266 of the 447 page PDF) for the required dimensions of a parking space.
Minimum dimensions are a length of 18.4’ and width of 8.6’.
o Note – The spaces must be oriented/positioned in a way that requires no more than two maneuvers
(defined as a motion in either a forward or backward direction) to enter or exit.
Table 2-10 (R-4 Zone Development Standards)
o Parking spaces have a minimum required setback of 20 feet from the front property line.
Section 17.158.044
o Tandem parking is only allowed as a two space arrangement.
Let me know if you have any further questions. I am out of the office tomorrow (Friday), but will be able to circle back
with you on Monday.

Hello Hannah,
I wanted to reach out and introduce myself to you. I work for Urban Arena and am handling the edits to the letter
you sent regarding the edits you want made to the CUP involving 1327 Foothill Blvd. I have a couple questions
for you regarding the parking. I see that you want the required dimensions of the bay widths and stall lengths for
each space, required clearances for maneuverability, etc. I also see that the proposed stacked formation
cannot be arranged. On the SLO muni code, it says that all parking stalls shall comply with the parking bay
dimensions standards for average sized cars as provided in the engineering standard details. Could you provide
me with these details please? I see on your response letter that no more than two cars in tandem may be
requested. Can you clarify if that means two sets of tandem cars (4 total) or one set (2 total)? Thank you!

Mayor Stewart and Council Members,
I'm writing to urge you to make Neighborhood Wellness a Major City Goal for the 2025-2027
Budget.
My wife and I have lived in SLO for 49 years and over the past few years our rental home on
Hathway has become surrounded by fraternities illegally operating.
The St. Fratty's Day Event has progressively become more dangerous and in 2024, it was
terrifying for our female student tenants ; drunken crowds forced their way onto our property,
knocking down temporary protective fencing we installed and tried to force themselves into the
home. A large group was successful in climbing onto our roof. Our property was damaged, and
our tenants were extremely frightened and their efforts to get help from the police did not
materialize. It was pure luck that no one got injured on our property.
After my wife attended an RQN meeting last month, she felt there would be more of the same
chaos and problems for St. Fratty’s Day, March 2025. We have decided to try to sell our home to
avoid being held liable for our tenants' or others' injuries on our property.
It's disappointing that our city’s lack of enforcement of illegal and dangerous activities in our
neighborhoods is making it difficult to live there resulting in people selling their homes. I'm
asking you to make neighborhoods a priority and allocate funds to improve residents' peace,
safety, and quality of life in the next budget by adding more code enforcement officials to
eliminate illegal fraternities and satellite operations and more police personnel to better enforce
the noise ordinances and illegal gatherings
Thank you.

This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Erica, Jan, Emily, Michelle, and Mike,
Since the article was published in The Tribune, several news organizations have contacted Steve by somehow
tracking down his cell phone number. A documentary filmmaker also contacted us through the Tribune
reporter, Sadie Dittenber, who investigated the situation for a few months and wrote the article. Also, some
neighbors were able to find Steve's number through software they use for their job, and have reached out to us
because they, too, are affected by what has happened in our neighborhood with the illegal fraternity houses.
They have been afraid to speak out, as many other neighbors, because they fear retaliation.
You may or may not know that there are some illegal fraternities on McCollum off of Albert, and,
she and the other neighbors complained about the illegal fraternity, and
subsequently, their property was vandalized and their cat was killed. car windows were smashed and
the side mirror was left dangling by the wires. These are some of the reasons that my neighbors - and there are
several - are afraid to speak out.
It is not comfortable for Steve and me to speak out either, but someone has to. I have been cyberstalked and
the police did not investigate, despite their claims to the Tribune that they did. I sent information to reporter,
Ms. Dittenber, showing that I continually asked for an investigation, over the course of a month, and my
case was never forwarded to a detective. I recently forwarded that email (sent to the reporter, Ms. Dittenber,
with my documentation) to SLOPD and now, two years later, SLOPD is adding a "supplemental report" to my
original complaint because it originally said my complaint was "for documentation only" and was never
investigated, despite my repeated pleas that it be investigated.
I've also been documenting noisy fraternity parties at illegal fraternity houses with video since the fall of 2021
when our neighborhood noticed a substantial increase in noise, and sending them to SLOPD and the city
council. Large noisy fraternity parties were cleared by SLOPD as "unable to locate" or "negative violation" so I
felt I needed to document the parties to prove they were actually happening, even though the SLOPD dispatch
log shows there was no violation of the noise ordinance. To be clear, the enforcement of noise in our
neighborhood, and others now that frats have spread to other neighborhoods, is abysmal and has not changed
since 2021. The police chief told me to stop taking video of the parties, and told me that I should have the
police come to my house to make sure I can actually hear the noise so that my calls to SLOPD "are equitable." I
believe I forwarded his email to you with those statements when it was sent to me.
We can hear booming bass from blocks away and are mostly affected by the hordes of screaming sorority girls
that pass by our house, going from an illegal fraternity house to an illegal fraternity house. We can also hear
parties at the many illegal fraternity houses that surround us. Additionally, I have had meetings with the city
since 2023 and provided documentation of each illegal fraternity house, but nothing has been done to shut
down a single one. We are beyond frustrated at the situation!!!
This is NOT NORMAL, which is the reason that media outlets and filmmakers have reached out to us!
99
I had a phone conversation with a British reporter from the Daily Mail and gave her a link to the website
HowToRuinANeighborhood.com and contact information for several people, including Jan Marx, SLOPD Chief
Rick Scott, and who owns a home on Hathway and Bond. is also a member of a small resident
task force for St. Fratty's that has been formed to come up with ideas to present to the city and protect our
properties. Her tenants were terrorized during St. Fratty's Day 2024. After the last SCLC meeting, spoke
with Chief Scott, which I observed, and there was another witness to the conversation. He told her that it was
not the police's job to protect her property, and if something bad happened, she would bear the liability. He
also told her that St. Fratty's will not end until someone dies or there is extreme property damage.
called me after the meeting and I tried to console her and encouraged her that the city manager is going
to insist that St. Fratty's ends. Whitney McDonald said it was her number one goal at the first SCLC meeting of
the academic year. Ms. McDonald suggested that our St. Fratty's task force meet with RQN on 12/11/2024,
when SLOPD was presenting its plan for St. Fratty's this year, and held out hope that she would have
some reassurance during that meeting. Unfortunately, SLOPD's plans were not reassuring and began
interviewing Realtors and then put her house on the market a couple of weeks ago.
The reporter from the Daily Mail emailed me today and said that she hadn't had time to reach out to
but the story was published today, and she sent me a link. I was disappointed to see the story was
sensationalized and some of my statements were not accurate. The reporter must not have recorded the
conversation, as the Tribune reporter did. For example, she said "dayges" go on for four days straight, which is
not true. They are usually for several hours on Saturday or Sunday. However, I did say that parties start on
Thursday night and go through Sunday afternoon, which is close to four days straight. She said my husband
was in the Army at Sandhurst (Royal Military Academy) and Zimbabwe. He was not in the military in Zimbabwe
and fled the country with only a suitcase because it was unsafe as farms were being seized by the government.
One of his family members was murdered. He did go to the UK and attended Sandhurst. So some of the
statements are skewed. But the core of the problem surrounding the illegal frats and the retaliation since
Sigma Pi received a noise violation is true, and I feel that's what is important.
I will try to ensure that other State and National news stories accurately print my statements if we choose to
move forward with more publicity.
Hopefully, the city is committed to providing funding for combating this serious problem in the 2025 - 2027
budget cycle and this nightmare will end.
Thank you,
Kathie

University Policy on Pioneer Days-like Events
Executive Memorandum 90-058 July 17, 1990
From: Robin S. Wilson, President
Subject: University Policy on Pioneer Days-like Events
Introduction
On May 17, 1990, in the aftermath of the criminal disturbances occasioned by the city of
Chico’s celebration of Rancho Chico Days, the Faculty Senate unanimously endorsed a
“Resolution Against the Continuation of Pioneer Days-like Festivals.”
FS 90/26 (copy attached) expresses faculty consternation at the long record of “acts of
drunkenness, violence, vandalism, and rape” associated with Pioneer Days and its successor
event, acts which “have all too frequently besmirched the proud reputation of the University
and community.” The resolution condemns “the perpetuation of any Pioneer Days-like
activities while the University is in session and urges the community to reexamine its
priorities”; and it calls upon the University president, “should the community… sponsor any
such ill-fated Pioneer Days-like event in the future,” to undertake, among other actions
(1) To seek…injunctive relief… to protect the University from such an event;
(2) To exhort all members of the academic community to ensure that the academic goals
of the University are foremost on the minds of students and not participation in any
Pioneer Days-like activities, and
(3) To withdraw University recognition from any student organization which chooses to
participate and is thereby being exploited by the community.
Purpose
Accordingly, this Executive Memorandum effectuates the Senate Resolution and establishes
University Policy designed to discourage campus participation in future Pioneer Days-like
celebrations and to lessen the impact on the university’s academic mission of similar or other
disruptive celebrations should they occur. Broader questions pertaining to the quality of
student life which were adduced in the senate discussions are addressed in a Letter to Faculty
issued separately.
Background
Pioneer Days enjoyed a long and mostly benign history in Chico, although by the mid-
seventies the attendant rowdiness had engendered criminal incidents which included gang
rape and – on one occasion – homicide. The toll in alcohol-related injuries climbed steadily
and the annual spring semester decline in student academic effort became alarming. Despite
repeated attempts to reformat the event and repeated examinations by student and faculty
committees and the implementation of their numerous (and usually quite sound)
recommendations, the event continued to spawn wanton waste and woe.
In 1987, after a dangerous riot, the University resolved to avoid any further involvement in the
event, and in that year and again in 1988, 1989, and 1990 repeatedly exhorted those bent on
reviving it to abandon it or at least schedule it at a time when the interests of students would
not be so heavily damaged. Those pleas were not successful, and the 1990 event occasioned
substantial property damage, several dozen injuries, and the arrest of some 108 persons, 26
of them Chico State students. In addition, as past experience had predicted, class attendance
fell off very substantially. Most important, however, was the reinforcement of a widely held
image of Chico State as a party school whose students, faculty, and curriculum cannot be
taken seriously, thus directly and substantially damaging the fortunes of every member of the
academic community.
On the basis of comments aired at a special faculty convocation of May 10 and amplified in
subsequent very valuable communications from several score faculty, of letters from staff,
students and community members, and of a careful study of the past including analysis of
heavy mail from alumni and parents in 1987, press and police reports over many years, the
reports of special committees charged with assessing Pioneer Days in 1973, 1977, 1985 and
1987, and interviews with students arrested on the two nights of the most recent disturbance,
I have concluded that the following elements have predominantly figured in the deterioration
of the event over the years:
Large gatherings of drunken youth are likely to produce violence almost anywhere in
the country (e.g., this year in Detroit, San Luis Obispo, Palm Springs, Fort Lauderdale,
Daytona, Atlantic City and a dozen other resort and college towns).
Promotion of these events as tourist attractions with attendant media attention
imports large numbers of visitors without local ties or accountability.
The careless sale of alcohol and juveniles’ easy access to it, coupled with some
parents’ inability to control the movements and actions of minor children late at
night, produce widespread drunkenness and bizarre behavior among youthful
drinkers.
The growth of the University from a small state normal school of a thousand or so
students to a modern comprehensive institution of over 16,000 students, and the
addition to this population of some 12,000 community college students and (at
celebratory events) an unknown number of secondary-school students, can rapidly
precipitate a number of young people into the streets which – although only a small
and unrepresentative fraction of the student population – readily overwhelms a police
force suited to a city of 38,000 located in an underfinanced country.
When the voting age dropped to 18 a generation ago, colleges, courts and legislators
abandoned parietal rules and codes of off-campus student conduct. Campus
sanctions (expulsion or suspension) for most off-campus student misbehavior are now
nearly impossible.
Policy
1. It is the policy of California State University, Chico to institute legal action to restrain
off-campus organizations, private or public, from conducting—while the University is
in session—public celebrations dependent upon the use of university facilities or the
exploitation of the university faculty, staff, or students in a manner likely to be
detrimental to the academic mission of the University.
To make determinations of threat posed by either the nature or the timing of such
celebrations, the Faculty Senate will be asked to constitute an ad hoc subcommittee to
review and recommend approval or disapproval for proposed events which solicit
participation by student organizations recognized and supported by the University
1. University-recognized and –supported organizations which participate in public
celebrations deemed by the Senate committee to be inimical to the academic
interests of the University will suffer loss of university recognition and support as soon
as their intent to participate is asserted. Organizations so proscribed may petition the
Vice President for Student Affairs for university recognition. Such petitions will be
accepted no sooner than two years after the withdrawal of recognition. A
recommendation for favorable action from the Vice President for Student Affairs will
include the endorsement of the Senate subcommittee. The VPSA will publish and
distribute to new students each fall a list of proscribed organizations
University-recognized and –supported organizations will constitute local chapters of national
organizations (e.g., most fraternities and sororities and certain religious, special interest,
disciplinary, and partisan political groups) can expect university notification to their sponsors
of actions taken under the provisions of this section. Insurance carriers for such organizations
will also be notified of the university’s withdrawal of recognition and support.
Faculty and staff advisers to such organizations will not enjoy state liability protection for
their service in that capacity.
Organizations which do not enjoy university recognition and support may not use university
facilities in any way and may not use the university name or service mark to identify
themselves.

RESOLUTION AGAINST THE CONTINUATION OF PIONEER DAYS-LIKE FESTIVALS
Whereas, The faculty, staff, and students of California State University, Chico have
endeavored to distinguished the University as a center of learning and scholarly activity; and
Whereas, The University and surrounding communities had long enjoyed the traditional
University-sponsored Spring Festival known as Pioneer Days which began when the
University had but a few thousand students; and
Whereas, With the growth of the University and the surrounding community, Pioneer Days
became identified not for its celebration of history and family but rather for associated acts of
drunkenness, violence, vandalism and rape; and
Whereas, The University found such associated acts of drunkenness, violence, vandalism,
and rape to be antithetical to its academic mission and therefore, In 1987, banned all
activities associated with Pioneer Days; and
Whereas, Several members of the Chico community refused to recognize that the
unfortunate antisocial consequences of Pioneer Days had become inherent in the festival
itself; and
Whereas, Those community members nevertheless chose to continue to sponsor all activities
of Pioneer Days (transparently named Rancho Chico Days) as the traditional spring festival;
and
Whereas, The best and well-intentioned efforts of those associated with Rancho Chico Days
could not forestall the inevitable magnet that the festival creates for acts of drunkenness,
violence, and vandalism, which have all too frequently besmirched the proud reputation of
the University and community; and
Whereas, Assigning the blame for the most recent riotous behavior may assuage some
consciences, it serves no useful purpose since such behavior is inherently intertwined with
continuation of any Pioneer Days-like Spring activities; and
Whereas, Although it is unfortunate when the immoral and criminal acts of a few ruin the
wholesome fun of many, the University can no longer endure the perception of affiliation with
any Pioneer Days-like activities as such perception serves only to devalue the University, its
faculty, its staff, its students, its programs and its degrees; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico, condemns the
immoral, irresponsible and criminal activities which occurred during the 1990 Rancho Chico
Days; and be it further
Resolved, That the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico, condemns the
perpetuation of any Pioneer Days-like activities while the University is in session and urges
the community to reexamine its priorities; and be it further
Resolved, That the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico, urges President
Wilson to render the most severe penalty available on those students found guilty of crimes
and misdemeanors associated with the 1990 Rancho Chico Days; and be it further
Resolved, That should the community nevertheless continue to sponsor any such ill-fated
Pioneer Days-like event in the future, the Faculty Senate of California State University, Chico
urges President Wilson
(1) To seek whatever injunctive relief which may be available through the courts to protect
the University from such an event;
(2) To exhort all members of the academic community to ensure that the academic goals of
the University are foremost on the minds of students and not participation in any Pioneer
Days-like activities, and,
(3) To withdraw University-recognition from any student organization which chooses to
participate, and is thereby being exploited by the community.

Hi Whitney,
Below are the follow up items I noted from our December lunch.
City can help close entrances for vehicles for Saint Patrick’s Day (I told George and Chief Scott brought it up at the
Task Force meeting)
Told Kent that Bob Hill is the right city contact re: NAGPRA (they’re in touch)
Scott combined with Mike for orientation (I will make this happen)
21st for council meeting Saint Patrick’s Day (sent request to Greg to instead present at first meeting in February)
Get lunches on calendar for January, February, March (done)
When does marketing start for Saint Patrick’s Day (now). Matt is connected to your Whit and Christine W on it as
well.
Share Saint Patrick’s Day communications plan (abbreviated version below)
One of the new student housing towers for fraternities? (still checking into this)
Get language on our pointing to city code around events in R-1 and R-2 neighborhoods (included below)
Please let me know if you have anything that I may have missed. The President is looking forward to meeting Wednesday. If
you have any topics you’d like him to be prepared to respond to please let me know.
Thanks!

Saint Patrick’s Day Communications Plans we’re evaluating could include:
Media outreach and story/interview pitching with police chiefs and others
Opinion piece placements in local and out-of-area media (particularly student media at key universities in
California) to spread the word that the party is canceled in SLO, etc.
Social media outreach out of area to discourage visitors and spread the party is canceled message
Working with sister CSU and UC campuses’ communications departments and student government to help
spread the word
Robust on-campus and local social media messaging centered around celebrating responsibly and calling
attention to alternative events and to enforcement measures that will be in place.

Hi Celeste,
Here is a screenshot of tandem stalls from the Engineering Standards. No spacing requirement between these
spaces.
Regarding the request to provide three “columns” of tandem spaces, you can add this request in the project
description. It is typically processed as a Director’s Action application. However, since this is a CUP application that
would require Planning Commission approval (higher level review than Director), the request can be incorporated into
the application and PC make the decision on that request as part of the overall fraternity review.

Hi Hannah,
One more question for you, if the parking stalls have to be 18.' x 8.6', do you know how far apart they need to be
spaced both side by side and tandem? We are going to propose more than one car parked in a tandem
formation for directors action. With 3 cars parked in tandem for a total of 6 cars. We can widen the driveway if
needed. Thanks!

Hi Celeste,
Thank you for reaching out. To follow up on our conversation, linked below are the resources related to parking:
2020 Engineering Standards
o See Standard 2240 (on page 266 of the 447 page PDF) for the required dimensions of a parking space.
Minimum dimensions are a length of 18.4’ and width of 8.6’.
o Note – The spaces must be oriented/positioned in a way that requires no more than two maneuvers
(defined as a motion in either a forward or backward direction) to enter or exit.
Table 2-10 (R-4 Zone Development Standards)
o Parking spaces have a minimum required setback of 20 feet from the front property line.
Section 17.158.044
o Tandem parking is only allowed as a two space arrangement.
Let me know if you have any further questions. I am out of the office tomorrow (Friday), but will be able to circle back
with you on Monday.
Sincerely,
Hannah Hanh

Hello Hannah,
I wanted to reach out and introduce myself to you. I work for Urban Arena and am handling the edits to the letter
you sent regarding the edits you want made to the CUP involving 1327 Foothill Blvd. I have a couple questions
for you regarding the parking. I see that you want the required dimensions of the bay widths and stall lengths for
each space, required clearances for maneuverability, etc. I also see that the proposed stacked formation
cannot be arranged. On the SLO muni code, it says that all parking stalls shall comply with the parking bay
dimensions standards for average sized cars as provided in the engineering standard details. Could you provide
me with these details please? I see on your response letter that no more than two cars in tandem may be
requested. Can you clarify if that means two sets of tandem cars (4 total) or one set (2 total)? Thank you!

Dear Council Members:
I live in Monterey Heights and found the recent article about Cal Poly fraternities very disturbing as
I’ve experienced the ignoring of the city's noise ordinance by students. Our general experience
living among the students has been very positive. However, the mixture of immaturity and alcohol
120
is hazardous and destructive to the well being of the whole community, not just permanent
residents.
I urge the city, the police department, and the planning department to take a firm stance on the
enforcement of the city’s noise ordinance and approval of Conditional Use Permits. I am all in
favor of warnings being given for first time offenders, but repeat offenders learn by facing the
consequences of their actions. Cite them! Cite them! Cite them!
The recent article in The Tribune quoted a student mentioning a compromise. This is laughable. As
the article further mentioned, communication is important. My question is why Cal Poly hasn’t
communicated the noise ordinance to its students, especially when they move off campus? Cal
Poly staff claiming it’s not their problem are missing the point. This is a cop out. Education goes
beyond book learning. Becoming responsible citizen should be instilled in the population that
attends any school. Since when do we sit down and compromise the quiet enjoyment of our
homes?
Again, my interaction with our neighboring students has been positive. With each new group, I
explain that based on experience, a warning call doesn’t work if the noise, music and yelling, is so
loud the phone ring can not be heard. When I call a neighboring offender, I give them the first call
or text and wait five minutes to respond. If they don’t, my second call is to the police. Period. I’ve
never had to make a second call because of my immediate neighbors.
Cal Poly should consider disciplinary action for repeat offenders. Students are representatives of
their school. I know Cal Poly is worried about the tuition they receive, but if they were made to
reimburse the city for police response calls caused by students, they might take a different
approach other than sticking their head into the sand.
Strict enforcement of the city ordinances and cooperation from Cal Poly to educate their
population will go a long way to bring civility to our community.
Thank you for listening.

RQN,
Thank you for sharing. I listened to the audio version.
Keep up the fight, I guess. But CP is revealing its hands-off approach is not temporary, rather its
permanent. They are not acting as a good neighbor at all!
I believe the City is getting this message too. Can the City revoke its MOUs for all the services it
provides to the campus? That would up the conflict, up the ante.
Students seem to believe they have a right to act like drunken idiots whereever they are. This is not
a scholarly attitude. Cal Poly should be more concerned about its reputation as a "party school." I pity
those who live in my old Alta Vista neighborhood, where peopole like the Walkers have to put up with

Dear RQN Members and Friends,
An excellent, well-researched article by Sadie Dittenber regarding the existence of fraternities in our single-
family (R-1) and medium density (R-2) housing areas... and how they affect those neighborhoods was in the
January 5, 2024 edition of The Tribune. A portion of the article also discusses St Fratty's Day, a made-up
student holiday that occurs near St. Patrick's Day, and the damage and destruction that ensues.

In the article Mayor Stewart commented that Cal Poly built a task force to address the concerns around St.
Fratty’s Day after the March 2024 event’s escalation, but that the university didn’t include anyone from the city
on that task force until October. What she didn't mention was that the City did not, and has not, created their
own task force to address problems that the event created within the city's neighborhoods.
Unfortunately, as Cal Poly continues to grow without adding more on-campus housing, more and more
neighborhoods will be affected by noise and, regrettably, vandalism. In 2015 I and others attended a meeting
to review Cal Poly's Master Plan Update; it included additional on-campus housing as well as a Greek
127
Row. That Master Plan Update has not been completed/approved - and now we are being told it will be 10
more years before on-campus housing will be constructed - all the while adding 300-500 new students per
year.
You may provide this information to whomever you wish... and thank you for your concern about your
neighborhoods.

Erica, Jan, Emily, Michelle, and Mike,
Since the article was published in The Tribune, several news organizations have contacted Steve by somehow
tracking down his cell phone number. A documentary filmmaker also contacted us through the Tribune reporter,
131
Sadie Dittenber, who investigated the situation for a few months and wrote the article. Also, some neighbors
were able to find Steve's number through software they use for their job, and have reached out to us because
they, too, are affected by what has happened in our neighborhood with the illegal fraternity houses. They have
been afraid to speak out, as many other neighbors, because they fear retaliation.
You may or may not know that there are some illegal fraternities on McCollum off of Albert,
she and the other neighbors complained about the illegal fraternity, and
subsequently, their property was vandalized and their cat was killed. car windows were smashed and
the side mirror was left dangling by the wires. These are some of the reasons that my neighbors - and there are
several - are afraid to speak out.
It is not comfortable for Steve and me to speak out either, but someone has to. I have been cyberstalked and the
police did not investigate, despite their claims to the Tribune that they did. I sent information to reporter, Ms.
Dittenber, showing that I continually asked for an investigation, over the course of a month, and my case was
never forwarded to a detective. I recently forwarded that email (sent to the reporter, Ms. Dittenber, with my
documentation) to SLOPD and now, two years later, SLOPD is adding a "supplemental report" to my original
complaint because it originally said my complaint was "for documentation only" and was never investigated,
despite my repeated pleas that it be investigated.
I've also been documenting noisy fraternity parties at illegal fraternity houses with video since the fall of 2021
when our neighborhood noticed a substantial increase in noise, and sending them to SLOPD and the city
council. Large noisy fraternity parties were cleared by SLOPD as "unable to locate" or "negative violation" so I
felt I needed to document the parties to prove they were actually happening, even though the SLOPD dispatch
log shows there was no violation of the noise ordinance. To be clear, the enforcement of noise in our
neighborhood, and others now that frats have spread to other neighborhoods, is abysmal and has not changed
since 2021. The police chief told me to stop taking video of the parties, and told me that I should have the police
come to my house to make sure I can actually hear the noise so that my calls to SLOPD "are equitable." I believe
I forwarded his email to you with those statements when it was sent to me.
We can hear booming bass from blocks away and are mostly affected by the hordes of screaming sorority girls
that pass by our house, going from an illegal fraternity house to an illegal fraternity house. We can also hear
parties at the many illegal fraternity houses that surround us. Additionally, I have had meetings with the city
since 2023 and provided documentation of each illegal fraternity house, but nothing has been done to shut
down a single one. We are beyond frustrated at the situation!!!
This is NOT NORMAL, which is the reason that media outlets and filmmakers have reached out to us!
I had a phone conversation with a British reporter from the Daily Mail and gave her a link to the website
HowToRuinANeighborhood.com and contact information for several people, including Jan Marx, SLOPD Chief
Rick Scott, and who owns a home on Hathway and Bond. is also a member of a small resident
task force for St. Fratty's that has been formed to come up with ideas to present to the city and protect our
properties. Her tenants were terrorized during St. Fratty's Day 2024. After the last SCLC meeting, spoke
with Chief Scott, which I observed, and there was another witness to the conversation. He told her that it was
not the police's job to protect her property, and if something bad happened, she would bear the liability. He also
told her that St. Fratty's will not end until someone dies or there is extreme property damage.
called me after the meeting and I tried to console her and encouraged her that the city manager is going to
insist that St. Fratty's ends. Whitney McDonald said it was her number one goal at the first SCLC meeting of the
academic year. Ms. McDonald suggested that our St. Fratty's task force meet with RQN on 12/11/2024, when
SLOPD was presenting its plan for St. Fratty's this year, and held out hope that she would have some
132
reassurance during that meeting. Unfortunately, SLOPD's plans were not reassuring and began
interviewing Realtors and then put her house on the market a couple of weeks ago.
The reporter from the Daily Mail emailed me today and said that she hadn't had time to reach out to
but the story was published today, and she sent me a link. I was disappointed to see the story was
sensationalized and some of my statements were not accurate. The reporter must not have recorded the
conversation, as the Tribune reporter did. For example, she said "dayges" go on for four days straight, which is
not true. They are usually for several hours on Saturday or Sunday. However, I did say that parties start on
Thursday night and go through Sunday afternoon, which is close to four days straight. She said my husband was
in the Army at Sandhurst (Royal Military Academy) and Zimbabwe. He was not in the military in Zimbabwe and
fled the country with only a suitcase because it was unsafe as farms were being seized by the government. One
of his family members was murdered. He did go to the UK and attended Sandhurst. So some of the statements
are skewed. But the core of the problem surrounding the illegal frats and the retaliation since Sigma Pi received
a noise violation is true, and I feel that's what is important.
I will try to ensure that other State and National news stories accurately print my statements if we choose to
move forward with more publicity.
Hopefully, the city is committed to providing funding for combating this serious problem in the 2025 - 2027
budget cycle and this nightmare will end.
Thank you,
Kathie

Erica, Jan, Emily, Michelle, and Mike,
Since the article was published in The Tribune, several news organizations have contacted Steve by somehow
tracking down his cell phone number. A documentary filmmaker also contacted us through the Tribune reporter,
138
Sadie Dittenber, who investigated the situation for a few months and wrote the article. Also, some neighbors
were able to find Steve's number through software they use for their job, and have reached out to us because
they, too, are affected by what has happened in our neighborhood with the illegal fraternity houses. They have
been afraid to speak out, as many other neighbors, because they fear retaliation.
You may or may not know that there are some illegal fraternities on McCollum off of Albert, and,
she and the other neighbors complained about the illegal fraternity, and
subsequently, their property was vandalized and their cat was killed. car windows were smashed and
the side mirror was left dangling by the wires. These are some of the reasons that my neighbors - and there are
several - are afraid to speak out.
It is not comfortable for Steve and me to speak out either, but someone has to. I have been cyberstalked and the
police did not investigate, despite their claims to the Tribune that they did. I sent information to reporter, Ms.
Dittenber, showing that I continually asked for an investigation, over the course of a month, and my case was
never forwarded to a detective. I recently forwarded that email (sent to the reporter, Ms. Dittenber, with my
documentation) to SLOPD and now, two years later, SLOPD is adding a "supplemental report" to my original
complaint because it originally said my complaint was "for documentation only" and was never investigated,
despite my repeated pleas that it be investigated.
I've also been documenting noisy fraternity parties at illegal fraternity houses with video since the fall of 2021
when our neighborhood noticed a substantial increase in noise, and sending them to SLOPD and the city
council. Large noisy fraternity parties were cleared by SLOPD as "unable to locate" or "negative violation" so I
felt I needed to document the parties to prove they were actually happening, even though the SLOPD dispatch
log shows there was no violation of the noise ordinance. To be clear, the enforcement of noise in our
neighborhood, and others now that frats have spread to other neighborhoods, is abysmal and has not changed
since 2021. The police chief told me to stop taking video of the parties, and told me that I should have the police
come to my house to make sure I can actually hear the noise so that my calls to SLOPD "are equitable." I believe
I forwarded his email to you with those statements when it was sent to me.
We can hear booming bass from blocks away and are mostly affected by the hordes of screaming sorority girls
that pass by our house, going from an illegal fraternity house to an illegal fraternity house. We can also hear
parties at the many illegal fraternity houses that surround us. Additionally, I have had meetings with the city
since 2023 and provided documentation of each illegal fraternity house, but nothing has been done to shut
down a single one. We are beyond frustrated at the situation!!!
This is NOT NORMAL, which is the reason that media outlets and filmmakers have reached out to us!
I had a phone conversation with a British reporter from the Daily Mail and gave her a link to the website
HowToRuinANeighborhood.com and contact information for several people, including Jan Marx, SLOPD Chief
Rick Scott, and who owns a home on Hathway and Bond. is also a member of a small resident
task force for St. Fratty's that has been formed to come up with ideas to present to the city and protect our
properties. Her tenants were terrorized during St. Fratty's Day 2024. After the last SCLC meeting, spoke
with Chief Scott, which I observed, and there was another witness to the conversation. He told her that it was
not the police's job to protect her property, and if something bad happened, she would bear the liability. He also
told her that St. Fratty's will not end until someone dies or there is extreme property damage.
called me after the meeting and I tried to console her and encouraged her that the city manager is going to
insist that St. Fratty's ends. Whitney McDonald said it was her number one goal at the first SCLC meeting of the
academic year. Ms. McDonald suggested that our St. Fratty's task force meet with RQN on 12/11/2024, when
SLOPD was presenting its plan for St. Fratty's this year, and held out hope that she would have some
139
reassurance during that meeting. Unfortunately, SLOPD's plans were not reassuring and began
interviewing Realtors and then put her house on the market a couple of weeks ago.
The reporter from the Daily Mail emailed me today and said that she hadn't had time to reach out to
but the story was published today, and she sent me a link. I was disappointed to see the story was
sensationalized and some of my statements were not accurate. The reporter must not have recorded the
conversation, as the Tribune reporter did. For example, she said "dayges" go on for four days straight, which is
not true. They are usually for several hours on Saturday or Sunday. However, I did say that parties start on
Thursday night and go through Sunday afternoon, which is close to four days straight. She said my husband was
in the Army at Sandhurst (Royal Military Academy) and Zimbabwe. He was not in the military in Zimbabwe and
fled the country with only a suitcase because it was unsafe as farms were being seized by the government. One
of his family members was murdered. He did go to the UK and attended Sandhurst. So some of the statements
are skewed. But the core of the problem surrounding the illegal frats and the retaliation since Sigma Pi received
a noise violation is true, and I feel that's what is important.
I will try to ensure that other State and National news stories accurately print my statements if we choose to
move forward with more publicity.
Hopefully, the city is committed to providing funding for combating this serious problem in the 2025 - 2027
budget cycle and this nightmare will end.
Thank you,
Kathie

RQN,
Thank you for sharing. I listened to the audio version.
Keep up the fight, I guess. But CP is revealing its hands-off approach is not temporary, rather its
permanent. They are not acting as a good neighbor at all!
I believe the City is getting this message too. Can the City revoke its MOUs for all the services it
provides to the campus? That would up the conflict, up the ante.
Students seem to believe they have a right to act like drunken idiots whereever they are. This is not a
scholarly attitude. Cal Poly should be more concerned about its reputation as a "party school." I pity
those who live in my old Alta Vista neighborhood, where peopole like the Walkers have to put up with
the nuisances they describe.

Dear RQN Members and Friends,
An excellent, well-researched article by Sadie Dittenber regarding the existence of fraternities in our single-
family (R-1) and medium density (R-2) housing areas... and how they affect those neighborhoods was in the
January 5, 2024 edition of The Tribune. A portion of the article also discusses St Fratty's Day, a made-up
student holiday that occurs near St. Patrick's Day, and the damage and destruction that ensues.
For those of you who may have missed the article or who do not subscribe to the paper or the digital copy, here
is a link to that article: https://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/education/cal-poly-
university/article295948429.html
Alternate link: If the other one doesn't work for you, this one will: https://archive.is/e1mK5
In the article Mayor Stewart commented that Cal Poly built a task force to address the concerns around St.
Fratty’s Day after the March 2024 event’s escalation, but that the university didn’t include anyone from the city
on that task force until October. What she didn't mention was that the City did not, and has not, created their
own task force to address problems that the event created within the city's neighborhoods.
Unfortunately, as Cal Poly continues to grow without adding more on-campus housing, more and more
neighborhoods will be affected by noise and, regrettably, vandalism. In 2015 I and others attended a meeting
to review Cal Poly's Master Plan Update; it included additional on-campus housing as well as a Greek Row. That
Master Plan Update has not been completed/approved - and now we are being told it will be 10 more years
before on-campus housing will be constructed - all the while adding 300-500 new students per year.
You may provide this information to whomever you wish... and thank you for your concern about your
neighborhoods.
Sincerely,
Sandra Rowley

Subject:Fraternaties and Cal Poly
This message is from an External Source. Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond.
Dear Council Members:
I live in Monterey Heights and found the recent article about Cal Poly fraternities very disturbing as I’ve
experienced the ignoring of the city's noise ordinance by students. Our general experience living among the
students has been very positive. However, the mixture of immaturity and alcohol is hazardous and destructive
to the well being of the whole community, not just permanent residents.
I urge the city, the police department, and the planning department to take a firm stance on the enforcement of
the city’s noise ordinance and approval of Conditional Use Permits. I am all in favor of warnings being given for
first time offenders, but repeat offenders learn by facing the consequences of their actions. Cite them! Cite
them! Cite them!
The recent article in The Tribune quoted a student mentioning a compromise. This is laughable. As the article
further mentioned, communication is important. My question is why Cal Poly hasn’t communicated the noise
ordinance to its students, especially when they move off campus? Cal Poly staff claiming it’s not their problem
are missing the point. This is a cop out. Education goes beyond book learning. Becoming responsible citizen
should be instilled in the population that attends any school. Since when do we sit down and compromise the
quiet enjoyment of our homes?
Again, my interaction with our neighboring students has been positive. With each new group, I explain that
based on experience, a warning call doesn’t work if the noise, music and yelling, is so loud the phone ring can
not be heard. When I call a neighboring offender, I give them the first call or text and wait five minutes to
respond. If they don’t, my second call is to the police. Period. I’ve never had to make a second call because of
my immediate neighbors.
Cal Poly should consider disciplinary action for repeat offenders. Students are representatives of their school. I
know Cal Poly is worried about the tuition they receive, but if they were made to reimburse the city for police
response calls caused by students, they might take a different approach other than sticking their head into the
sand.
Strict enforcement of the city ordinances and cooperation from Cal Poly to educate their population will go a
long way to bring civility to our community.
Thank you for listening.

Dear Mayoress Stewart and Members of the Council:
I endorse the recommendations of the Residents for Quality Neighborhoods in their correspondence to you.
They are thoughtfully conceived for the improved management of our City and its residential neighborhoods. If,
upon reflection, you find the budget would suffer too much constraint in appointing new officers to monitor
noise reduction and abuse of fraternity satellites without documentation, you might consider removing the DEI
Manager's title and duties and rather assign new duties and a new role toward the betterment of the
neighborhoods. You must be aware of the many corporations who have cancelled their DEI budgets toward
more prudent allocation. This does not suggest that the concept of diversity, equity, inclusion would lose its
validity in current and future legislation/discussion.
I have a more immediate concern in proposing more attention and action to creek clearance, something that
has been abandoned for over 2 decades. While homeowners are meant to be responsible for such clearance, it
144
is not possible for homeowners who are elderly or handicapped to do such clearance as needed. Further, huge
trees have grown in spaces where there were no such species beforehand, like the black walnut overtaking our
creek, at the cost of our willows, native species, and the wildlife: egrets and deer and aquatic life. In view of the
wildfires raging as you meet, and the uncertainty of our climate future, the City should be more pro-active in this
regard.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

SUBJECT: Item 7c, 2025-27 Budget Foundation
Dear Mayor Stewart and Members of the Council,
Residents for Quality Neighborhoods requests the following items be included in the
2025-27 Budget/Financial Plan for the reasons provided. We further request these
items be consolidated under a “Neighborhoods” umbrella and considered a Major City
Goal.
A. Add Community Development positions.
1. Add two Code Enforcement Officers to effectively carry out proactive
enforcement.
Discussion.
Several residential developments have been added since code enforcement staffing
was last reviewed and increased. And the number of fraternity main houses and
satellite houses located in the city’s neighborhoods has also increased with
concomitant code enforcement issues. The Community Development Director has
stated there is insufficient Code Enforcement staff to handle the workload. Thus
additional staffing is required to address current code enforcement problems
throughout the city and its neighborhoods.
2. Add one staff position to oversee the enforcement process for fraternity and
sorority use of residential properties.
Discussion.
Identifying residential properties as fraternity or sorority houses and addressing their
code violations is a long and arduous task, especially since Cal Poly has removed all
the street addresses from their AB 524 (2022) Report (Campus Recognized Sorority
& Fraternity Transparency Act). In addition, only a few of the fraternity main houses
and satellite houses have the required Conditional Use Permits. The appropriate
paperwork must be properly completed, but in the past this has not always occurred;
a subject-matter expert performing quality control would alleviate this.
3. Revive the Neighborhood Services Manager position and locate it in the
Community Development Department.
Discussion.
The Neighborhood Services Manager position was previously located in the Police
Department; however, that position has been modified and is now the Police Public
Affairs Manager. Also, previously one of Community Development’s planners was
designated as “the Neighborhood Planner.” This planner was a resource for
residents, providing information when a proposed or new state law would affect
neighborhoods or assisting residents with problem-solving. A new Neighborhood
Services Manager would be able to fill both needs and should also act as an advocate
- much like the City’s Bicycle Coordinator, DEI Manager and Sustainability Manager
do.
B. Add two Community Service Officers (42K’s) to the Police Department for noise
147
enforcement.
Discussion.
Add two Community Service Officers dedicated to enforcing noise complaints from
Thursday through Sunday. The City of Davis utilized these enforcement officials to
curb their student party noise in neighborhoods and it was very successful. The
additional enforcement personnel will enhance existing enforcement efforts and free
up police officers for higher priority crime response.
C. Following St Fratty’s Day 2025, have the City Manager form a task force to
address concerns surrounding the event.
Discussion.
Cal Poly formed a task force after the 2024 event which gave them a year to put into
place new policies and procedures to address the destructive behaviors that had
occurred, and to train the appropriate personnel on what they were to do. Our city
may be able to benefit from this level of engagement by including personnel from
various departments as well as city residents, and by putting new policies and
procedures in place before the next year’s event occurs.
Request you will favorably consider these recommendations and include them in your
Major City Goals.

Sunday. The City of Davis utilized these enforcement officials to curb their student party noise in neighborhoods
and it was very successful. The additional enforcement personnel will enhance existing enforcement efforts and
free up police officers for higher priority crime response.
C. Following St Fratty’s Day 2025, have the City Manager form a task force to address concerns surrounding the
event.
Discussion.
Cal Poly formed a task force after the 2024 event which gave them a year to put into place new policies and
procedures to address the destructive behaviors that had occurred, and to train the appropriate personnel on
what they were to do. Our city may be able to benefit from this level of engagement by including personnel from
various departments as well as city residents, and by putting new policies and procedures in place before the
next year’s event occurs.
Request you will favorably consider these recommendations and include them in your Major City Goals.
Thank you for your time and your consideration.

Dear Mayor Stewart and Council members,
I second the motion!
We were up till 2 a.m. last night after the party started in the Longview alley. We called the Police at 10:30 and
they were kind, but this is a repeated problem after 46 years of living here, 24 years at my home on Kentucky
Street. WE need more police available to respond to these incredibly loud parties. You all know Cal Poly only
gives lip service. What about you? With all do respect, I know some of your personally and I’ve met all of you at
one time or another. I’m in my 70’s now. I don’t want to move again, for many reasons, particularly financial. I
implore you to please take the reins, please care about what goes on in Alta Vista neighborhood. Come spend a
night in my ADUas my guest and see and hear for yourselves. It is not pleasant on the nights of the eruptions! I
beg you!

SUBJECT: Item 7c, 2025-27 Budget Foundation
Dear Mayor Stewart and Members of the Council,
Residents for Quality Neighborhoods requests the following items be included in the 2025-27
Budget/Financial Plan for the reasons provided. We further request these items be consolidated
under a “Neighborhoods” umbrella and considered a Major City Goal.
A. Add Community Development positions.
1. Add two Code Enforcement Officers to effectively carry out proactive enforcement.
Discussion.
Several residential developments have been added since code enforcement staffing was last
reviewed and increased. And the number of fraternity main houses and satellite houses located in
the city’s neighborhoods has also increased with concomitant code enforcement issues. The
Community Development Director has stated there is insufficient Code Enforcement staff to handle
the workload. Thus additional staffing is required to address current code enforcement problems
throughout the city and its neighborhoods.
2. Add one staff position to oversee the enforcement process for fraternity and sorority use of
residential properties.
Discussion.
Identifying residential properties as fraternity or sorority houses and addressing their code
violations is a long and arduous task, especially since Cal Poly has removed all the street addresses
from their AB 524 (2022) Report (Campus Recognized Sorority & Fraternity Transparency Act). In
addition, only a few of the fraternity main houses and satellite houses have the required
Conditional Use Permits. The appropriate paperwork must be properly completed, but in the past
this has not always occurred; a subject-matter expert performing quality control would alleviate
this.
3. Revive the Neighborhood Services Manager position and locate it in the Community
Development Department.
Discussion.
The Neighborhood Services Manager position was previously located in the Police Department;
however, that position has been modified and is now the Police Public Affairs Manager. Also,
previously one of Community Development’s planners was designated as “the Neighborhood
Planner.” This planner was a resource for residents, providing information when a proposed or new
state law would affect neighborhoods or assisting residents with problem-solving. A new
Neighborhood Services Manager would be able to fill both needs and should also act as an advocate
- much like the City’s Bicycle Coordinator, DEI Manager and Sustainability Manager do.
B. Add two Community Service Officers (42K’s) to the Police Department for noise enforcement.
Discussion.
Add two Community Service Officers dedicated to enforcing noise complaints from Thursday
through Sunday. The City of Davis utilized these enforcement officials to curb their student party
noise in neighborhoods and it was very successful. The additional enforcement personnel will
enhance existing enforcement efforts and free up police officers for higher priority crime
response.

Subject: RE: PRESS - Frat parties in SLO
Good afternoon Laura,
Thank you for reaching out regarding issues being reported by residents of our community. The San Luis Obispo
Police Department takes quality of life crimes very seriously and has dedicated countless hours of education and
enforcement to reduce noisy parties and disruptions in the neighborhoods surrounding Cal Poly University. As is
common in many cities that are adjacent to major universities, there is often friction between college students and full-
time residents in these neighborhoods.
Here are a few talking points related to how the San Luis Obispo Police Department responds to noise complaints:
The City of San Luis Obispo has a comprehensive noise ordinance program that outlines guidelines for
what constitutes a noise violation. Our Officers respond to noise complaints, and issue citations as
appropriate based on observed behavior, with fines starting at $350 and rising to $1000 for continued
violations.
The City has implemented a law for “Unruly Gatherings” which result in greater legal penalties for the
violator.
Repeat noise violations result in increased fines, and citations can also be sent to property owners, to
help gain compliance from problem locations.
The City has enacted a Safety Enhancement Zone, which effectively doubles fines for quality of life
crimes during peak periods including back-to-school week, Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day, as a
deterrent to curb criminal behavior in the neighborhoods.
The Police Department created a party registration program, that allows resident to register a party
with the city, providing a point of contact who can be called should a noise complaint be received. At
that time, the residents have 20 minutes to end the noise, without receiving a citation. This program has
proven to be extremely successful, with approximately 1% of registered parties receiving a noise
citation.
In 2023, the total number of noise complaints received by the San Luis Obispo Police Department was
the second lowest year since 2013.
As you can see from the data above, the San Luis Obispo Police Department is not ‘dismissive’ of our residents’
complaints, but unfortunately there are times were residents want to see more enforcement than can legally be
applied. The following chart shows the number of noise complaints the San Luis Obispo Police Department has
received and responded to since 2013.
165
Finally, the quote you are attributing to Chief Scott is not accurate at all regarding our response to noise complaints.
As you can see above, our Officers respond to noise complaints nightly. I am not sure where this quote came from or
if something Chief Scott said was taken out of context and is being reported to you as our generic response to parties,
but that is absolutely untrue.
Thank you.

Dear Mr Scott,
I hope you're well. I'm a reporter with the Daily Mail based in New York.
Today I spoke with a couple of residents from San Luis Obispo about the frat parties they say have been
terrorizing their Alta Vista neighborhood - an area where frat houses are not permitted under zoning laws.
They shared shocking footage of some of the harassment they have endured
(https://howtoruinaneighborhood.com/disruption-retaliation-and-issues/)
One of the residents said the police have been 'dismissive' of their complaints and said the chief told them
'someone would have to die or there would have to be serious property damage' for police to intervene, despite
reporting extreme noise, harassment, and vandalism around their homes several times a week.
I'm getting in touch in case you would like to comment on this - keen to hear your perspective. Please let me
know if you would. If you have a media department where this query would be better directed, please let me
know!
Many thanks,
Laura Parnaby

Dear Mr Scott,
I hope you're well. I'm a reporter with the Daily Mail based in New York.
Today I spoke with a couple of residents from San Luis Obispo about the frat parties they say have been
terrorizing their Alta Vista neighborhood - an area where frat houses are not permitted under zoning laws.
They shared shocking footage of some of the harassment they have endured
(https://howtoruinaneighborhood.com/disruption-retaliation-and-issues/)
One of the residents said the police have been 'dismissive' of their complaints and said the chief told them
'someone would have to die or there would have to be serious property damage' for police to intervene, despite
reporting extreme noise, harassment, and vandalism around their homes several times a week.
I'm getting in touch in case you would like to comment on this - keen to hear your perspective. Please let me
know if you would. If you have a media department where this query would be better directed, please let me
know!

Thanks for adding the information, Laura. One thing I wanted to emphasize, was that Chief Scott never said that
people have to die before SLOPD would intervene in a fraternity party. That is not accurate and is misinformation you
are being provided.
Thank you.

Hi Laura,
I attempted to reply to your email on behalf of the San Luis Obispo Police Department on Tuesday evening last week,
but your email apparently didn’t get saved when I pasted it in, so you obviously never received it. (After seeing the
story today and not having any of the information I supplied included, I went back and looked at my sent emails and
discovered the error)
Please see my responses below related to the information provided by Mr. and Mrs. Walker.
Thank you.

Good afternoon Laura,
Thank you for reaching out regarding issues being reported by residents of our community. The San Luis Obispo
Police Department takes quality of life crimes very seriously and has dedicated countless hours of education and
enforcement to reduce noisy parties and disruptions in the neighborhoods surrounding Cal Poly University. As is
common in many cities that are adjacent to major universities, there is often friction between college students and full-
time residents in these neighborhoods.
Here are a few talking points related to how the San Luis Obispo Police Department responds to noise complaints:
The City of San Luis Obispo has a comprehensive noise ordinance program that outlines guidelines for
what constitutes a noise violation. Our Officers respond to noise complaints, and issue citations as
appropriate based on observed behavior, with fines starting at $350 and rising to $1000 for continued
violations.
The City has implemented a law for “Unruly Gatherings” which result in greater legal penalties for the
violator.
Repeat noise violations result in increased fines, and citations can also be sent to property owners, to
help gain compliance from problem locations.
The City has enacted a Safety Enhancement Zone, which effectively doubles fines for quality of life
crimes during peak periods including back-to-school week, Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day, as a
deterrent to curb criminal behavior in the neighborhoods.
The Police Department created a party registration program, that allows resident to register a party with
the city, providing a point of contact who can be called should a noise complaint be received. At that
time, the residents have 20 minutes to end the noise, without receiving a citation. This program has
proven to be extremely successful, with approximately 1% of registered parties receiving a noise
citation.
In 2023, the total number of noise complaints received by the San Luis Obispo Police Department was
the second lowest year since 2013.
As you can see from the data above, the San Luis Obispo Police Department is not ‘dismissive’ of our residents’
complaints, but unfortunately there are times were residents want to see more enforcement than can legally be
applied. The following chart shows the number of noise complaints the San Luis Obispo Police Department has
received and responded to since 2013.
179
Finally, the quote you are attributing to Chief Scott is not accurate at all regarding our response to noise complaints.
As you can see above, our Officers respond to noise complaints nightly. I am not sure where this quote came from or
if something Chief Scott said was taken out of context and is being reported to you as our generic response to parties,
but that is absolutely untrue.
Thank you.
Brian

Devin, on the previous email, we attached our fraternity nationals insurance letter for this event. I am still
unclear on how to proceed with special insurance in addition to this. I do not believe we turned this in last year.
Please advise us on how to proceed. We will also only need access to the bridge, and the small entrance portion
to the SLO creek where the ducks will enter. We will not need a vendor permit. Please send any additional
information you have for us.
Best,
Cole
