Planning Commission
T. Why do you want to serve on a City advisory body?
I feel it important to be an involved citizen and to make a contribution to
our community. Living in San Luis Obispo brings me a lot of happine s
and I enjoy giving something back.
2. Why do you want to be a member of the Planning Commission and hat
do you hope to accomplish?
I have found my experience on the Commission over the past two ye�rs to
be enjoyable and rewarding. I would appreciate the opportunity to
continue working on some of the issues we have tackled during my
tenure, including: expansion of the downtown commercial core, the id-
Higuera Enhancement Plan, the Copeland Project and long-range
planning in the Orcutt, Margarita and Airport areas.
i
3. Have you ever attended a meeting of the Planning Commission, or 1
another City advisory body? What observations did you make?
In addition to SLO City Planning Commission meetings, I regularly a end
and participate in Santa Barbara County Planning Commission hearirigs
through my job. I have found it very enlightening to compare how the two .
commissions operate and to consider their relative strengths and
weaknesses. I would like to see the SLO Commission work to impro its
performance in the following areas:
1. The relationship between staff and the commission could be I ss
adversarial and more cooperative.
2. The focus, clarity and usefulness of the recommendations our
Commission sends to the Council could be improved.
3. At times our Commission seems timid and appears to lack
confidence in its role in the decision-making process. Usually the
Commission is extremely reluctant to make decisions contra to
the staff recommendation,.to continue projects so that change can
be made, to request further analysis of commission concerns rior
to making a decision or to provide direction to staff. All of thes
actions are well within the purview of the Commission and, in act,
are a necessary component of the Commission doing an effe ive
job.

4. Improved etiquette and closer adherence to standard Rules of
Order would help prevent our crowded, contentious hearings f om
spinning out of control and will come across better on televisio 1.
4. What qualities experience and expertise make you a good candidate for
the Planning Commission?
I am a professional planner with a Masters Degree in the field from CI
Poly. I am employed with the Santa Barbara County Planning and
Development Department in current planning. I review development.
proposals for compliance with the County's Comprehensive Plan and
Zoning ordinance, perform CEQA review and make recommendation g and
presentations to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Prior
to working at the County I worked at several planning internships with
public and private agencies ranging from the City of Boulder-Alternative
Transportation Planning Division to the Noise Management Institute,
private consulting firm focusing on airport noise issues. - I
I feel it is valuable for some members of the commission to have traiing
and a strong background in planning. It is especially helpful in handii g
some of the more technical aspects of the Commission's job -
implementation of CEQA, for example. Mary Whittlesey and myself a e

5. In your view, what are some key planning issues in SLO?
i
In no particular order:
I
The challenge of creating desperately needed affordable housing an
student housing in a community with strong environmental values an a
significant slow/anti-growth sentiment.
The ongoing County vs. City land-use conflicts at our urban edge and, the
ability of the city to control its own destiny in these areas. Certainly, this
would include the need for city annexation of the Orcutt, Margarita and
Airport expansion areas. Ii
Traditional Town vs. Gown conflicts, particularly the relationship betv�geen
older, single-family homeowners and student renters.
Promotion of denser infill development rather than sprawl at our urba
edge.
Further densification of the downtown core and expansion of the C-C zone
and in-lieu parking district up Monterey Street between Santa Rosa nd

The fiscalization of land-use. How important should the pursuit of sal s tax
dollars be when making planning decisions?
I
Improving the city's jobs/housing balance.
Continued acquisition of open space areas, particularly those threatened
with impending development. i

1. Why do you want to serve on a City advisory body? .
Local government and its agencies, employees and
decisions affect people more than any other layer
of government. Serving on an advisory body
offers the opportunity to affect positive change and
to give some service back to the City and its
citizens.
I Why do you want to be a member of the Planning Commission and what do you hope to
accomplish?
As a member of the Plaming_Commission, I would.
be able to use my special skins to guide important'
land use decisions.I would hope to bring focus to
decision making in a way that emphasizes real-life
implications of Commission decisions. I also
would strongly represent the good of the
commumity and not single or narrow interests,
3. Have you ever attended a meeting of the Planning Commission, or another City advisory body?
What observations did you make?
I have attended several Planning Commission
meetings and took part in one. I.found the
members of the Commission to be very polite to
everyone appearing before them Each member
also seemed to be very deliberate in their
discussions and emphasized the rationale for
decisions so that everyone understand why they
reached that conclusion.

4. What qualities, experience and expertise make you a good candidate for the Planning'
Commission?
As a planner in a public agency I have developed the most important skill any Planning
Commissioner can have: listening. I listen to all points of view before making a decision. I
am particularly effective at developing compromises that leave all parties feeling like they got
what they wanted Secondly, I consider myself an expert on planning issues and law. The
practice of planning in California is complex and often ponderously bureaucratic. I already
possess the understanding of how the practice works and how the law operates in real life
situations.
5. In your view,what are some key planning issues in SLO?
The individual planning and land use issues facing the City lead to a big picture appreciation
for the future. For example, discussions of the LOVR corridor, big box stores,Dalidio, etc...
cannot be discussed individually as if each decision is isolated from the next. All of these
single project issues all reflect growth,its effects and externalities. These are the key planning
issues in the City.
6. Is there any additional information about yourself you'd like to share? (Please feel free to attach a
resume,if you have one).

planninq commission
1. Why do you want to serve on a City advisory body?
I am eager to serve on a City advisory body for two reasons: my commitment to public service, and my interest in
ensuring a livable community for my family, friends, and fellow citizens. First, I believe it is the duty of all citizens to
serve their community. Service can occur in many forms ranging from formal commitments to ad hoc gestures of
citizenship such as picking up litter or helping your neighbor. I desire formal service through appointment to a City
advisory body due to my interests(both personal and professional) in public policy and decision-making.
Second, my wife and I made a difficult but definite decision to move to San Luis Obispo several years ago from
our native Florida. After a nationwide career search, I concluded that San Luis Obispo was a superbly, livable
community. We resolved to bring only one car(we sold the other), live close to downtown, support local business and
organizations, and become active members of the community; our goal was to support the existing vision of San Luis
Obispo's present and future. Thus,I desire to express my commitment to the community's vision by serving on a City
advisory body.
2. Why do you want to be a member of the Planning Commission and what do you hope to
I am eager to sl�e ass a member of the Planning Commission(in addition to the reasons above) for two reasons: my
personal and my professional interests in city planning. First,citizens of the community are directly affected by the decisions
and recommendations of the Planning Commission. As one of those citizens, I am personally interested in insuring.that
Planning Commission actions continue to enhance the quality of life in San Luis Obispo. For example,I often use alternative
transportation to move about the city in a sustainable manner.Also,I frequent San Luis Obispo businesses and minimize my
expenditures out of the city. The continued possibility of these actions is dependent upon a good General Plan, Zoning
Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and effective delivery of city services. Second, as a professional City Planner I am
interested in applying my training and experience to serve the greater good.Currently I teach future professionals in planning
and I feel that my commitment to a high quality education will indirectly benefit many California communities as well as this
one. I desire, however,to make a direct contribution through service on the Planning Commission..
The things I hope to accomplish are simple.I have no agenda, instead I hope to implement the will of the community
as expressed through the General Plan, serve the City Council as an effective advisor, and inspire my fellow citizens to
involve themselves in the management of their community.
3. Have you ever attended a meeting of the Planning Commission, or another City advisory body?
What observation�s did Qlt make?
I have attended severa Plannm Commission meetings and numerous City Council meetings. At the Planning
Commission meetings I have observed passionate but productive Commissioners and professional City staffers seriously
engaged in the issue at-hand. I have observed citizens who care about their community commit their valuable time to listen,
learn,and voice their ideals.I have observed project applicants and advocates carefully craft their message to include all of
the community's concerns.And I have seen the process produce excellent decisions and recommendations.This is of course
when the Planning Commission is at its best. The Planning Commission is a political body that must mediate numerous
different views and opinions. I have also observed the breakdown of rational and civil debate and thus the breakdown of the
process. My observations confirmed the view that community decision-making is difficult, but my observations also showed
that people care about the community.
