Subject: PC communication 1 175 Venture Drive
To our SLO City Planning Commissioners,
I'm writing to express my support for the proposed housing development at 175 Venture Drive. The proposed
700 (+/-) housing units will be a big step forward in bringing us out of our present housing deficit, and slowing
the exodus of young families (like my own) to North and South County.
After reviewing the staff report and other related documents, I'm encouraged by the careful planning evident in
the proposed development. In addition to reducing the number of car -trips per day in and out of SLO, I see
immense public benefit in the proposed project, including the extension of Buckley Road, the connection to the
Bob Jones Trail, and the inclusion of ample amount of parks, trails/paths, and community space to make this
new addition to our community feel like home.
I don't believe this falls under your purview, but just in case: I would like to see a commitment from the
developer that would limit the sale of these new properties strictly to owner -occupants for a minimum number
of years, as is common in other similar developments aimed at alleviating the deficit of affordable and
workforce housing.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration,
Melissa Godsey
Mill Street, San Luis Obispo
