2. 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-

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.
