GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR THE CAL POLY MASTER PLAN UPDATE PROCESS (excerpt) Community Development Director Codron and Community Development Deputy Director Murry narrated a PowerPoint presentation entitled "Cal Poly Master Plan — Guiding Principles" and responded to Council inquiries. Sandra Rowley, Residents for Quality Neighborhoods (RQN), requested that Council continue consideration of the Guiding Principles for the Cal Poly Master Plan Update for 30 days for public review. Paul Rs, San Luis Obispo, recommended that the City require Cal Poly to not increase student enrollment until more housing is provided on campus; asserted that as enrollment increases, natives looking for a permanent residence are displaced into other nearby cities. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER CARPENTER, SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER CHRISTIANSON, CARRIED 4 -1 (VICE MAYOR ASHBAUGH VOTING NO), to endorse the Guiding Principles for the City's participation in the Cal Poly Master Plan Update process, with the following revisions: a. Housing - The Master Plan should continue to push to house all Fr-eshi+len —al+d Sephemeres undergraduate students on campus mss. In the interim, future increase in enrollment should be linked to prior provision of on- campus housing. Programs should be included to encourage housing for faculty and staff within existing neighborhoods (not on campus) to both stabilize neighborhoods close to campus and encourage residents to rely on active transportation and transit to get to and from campus. b. Multi -Modal Transportation - The Master Plan should support City goals for modal- City of San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly Collaborations Page 2 split, encourage walking, cycling, and the use of transit by students and employees, and discourage single- occupant vehicle trips from the University into the City. Programs should support continued contribution to City transit; provision of an internal campus shuttle system; improved hub for a transit center; and restriction of parking passes for residents living within44 l mile of campus. Vice Mayor Ashbaugh noted that he voted no, stating that credibility is required when a policy is adopted and noted that this action weakens Council's position as it relates to requesting that Cal Poly house all undergraduate students on campus.
