Subject: 1144 Chorro Street proposed development
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:

9_.O CITY CLERK
COUNCIL MEETING: Oq - l S —261t
ITEM NO.: i
I am chagrined at the proposed development at 1144 Chorro St. This site is completely inappropriate for
a bowling alley and additional 5 (count them) bars and 6 lounge sites. SLO already has more alcohol
outlets per capita than any other city in the state of California according to the California Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board.
This project is designed to pander to the out -of -control Cal Poly after hours population who litter our
streets with trash and vomit.
Is this really how we want our town to develop ? What we need and want downtown is more retail and
diversity, not another play -pen for students.
As a long time tax payer in this city, I call upon this Council to direct Staff to come up with a change of
policy regulating city alcohol outlets. We are a town of families and retirees who need to feel safe and
welcome on the streets of San Luis Obispo after dark.
This bowling alley and drinking hole belong at the edge of town, not in our historic downtown, just
blocks from the Mission.
I urge this Council to create a new policy limiting alcohol outlets downtown. Please put this discussion
on the agenda immediately.
