Dear Commission, Please don't allow the Avila Ranch project to go forward as planned. One: we
don't have the water available. Two: the infrastructure for a project this size isn't there. Three:
traffic. I live on this side of town, and our traffic is getting worse and worse and the LOVR
project won't help enough. We need the Prado Road overpass! Four: Affordability. According to
the article in the Trib, the 'workforce' houses would be in the $560,000 range. I don't care what
the AMI says, in SLO, there aren't a lot of jobs that support those levels, remember, we're mainly
a college/tourist town. People I know that are looking are looking at houses outside of SLO that
are in the $400,000 range. What should be considered are family mobile home communities.
Five: we don't need any more empty commercial spaces. Six: this area is ag and should be left as
such. Where are people that own horses supposed to have a safe place to ride without having to
trailer their horses? Where are we going to get our food when all the ag land is gone? We're
losing too much of it in other areas. Remember the song that says, 'pave paradise, put up a
parking lot'. Please stop all this insane development that the residents don't want, we aren't and
don't want to be another LA or Santa Barbara. We're a unique area, but becoming less of one.
Embrace and preserve it, please. Stop listening to big money developers that don't care about
SLO. They may have workshops but they're a sham. I've been to some and the end results haven't
taken the people's views and comments to heart. Look at the travisity that is happening at Tank
Farm & S. Higuera. A tractor supply store and a contemporary style center incorporated around a
historic house, give me a break! I rest my case. Thank you.
