Dear City Council Members, I view with alarm the proposed huge development of the former San Luis Obispo Sports Authority site. There are many reasons to oppose such a huge enterprise which seems to be mainly aimed at selling alcohol. I know that there are other parts to this venue, but alcohol stand out as the motivating factor. The California Alcoholic Beverage Control Board has repeatedly stated that our downtown, compared to other cities in the State, has an over -concentration of bars, taverns and alcohol outlets. If this was true before 1144 Chorro St plan was proposed, it doesn't take much imagination to know what the assessment of the ABC would be if the development was allowed. I cannot think of any mitigating factors that would make such a large, alcohol serving development a plus for our downtown. I urge you to vote against this development. There must be much better and creative ways to use this space. Thank you for taking this under serious consideration. Sincerely, Evy Justesen
