Subject: October 14 Planning Commission Hearing ‐ General Plan Conformance, 1134 & 1144 Monterey
Street
Dear Chair and Members of the Planning Commission,
I am the owner of property directly adjacent to the proposed New San Luis Obispo Courthouse site at
1134 and 1144 Monterey Street.
I support the proposed transfer to the Judicial Council and respectfully support a finding that the
location, purpose, and extent of the new courthouse conform with the City's General Plan. A modern
courthouse is an important public facility for San Luis Obispo, and this is a meaningful step toward its
delivery.
For approximately 20 years, I have worked as an owner's representative and project manager on major
redevelopment and construction projects in California and throughout the United States. My experience
includes public‐agency coordination, entitlements, occupied‐site construction, project schedules,
budgets, design, and construction delivery. I offer this perspective as a constructive neighboring owner
who wants to see the project succeed.
As the project moves through design, procurement, and construction, I encourage continued close
coordination among the City, County, Judicial Council, neighboring property owners, and downtown
businesses. In particular, clear and early communication regarding construction staging, truck routing,
temporary street or sidewalk changes, pedestrian and bicycle safety, utilities, parking, and access to
nearby properties will be important to maintaining a safe and active downtown environment during
construction.
Please know that I am supportive of the project and am available to help where my experience may be
useful as it moves forward.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Brian Ackerman
