Subject: SLO Brew permit request
Dear San Luis Obispo City Council,
I wanted to express my great concern about the permit being requested to hold live events at SLO Brew at 855
Aerovista Place, as my home is located only 1300 feet from this venue. Although I worry about the impact of
traffic volume, overflow parking onto neighborhood streets, and intoxicated drivers, my main concern is about
the noise.
There is a gradual rise in elevation from this venue up to Islay Hill, so noise produced by live events at this
venue would impact homes much further away from it than if the surrounding terrain were level. The high
decibels produced by such events are capable of penetrating homes through windows even when the
windows are closed, as windows are the main vectors of sound conduction in a home. In particular, the
bedtime routines of our children would be greatly disrupted by the noise from live events on Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday nights.
Although those in support of this permit request will ask you to think about the quantity of jobs it will employ,
those of us against this permit request hope you will think instead about the quality of families it will destroy
and vote against it.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Hans Rankin, MD
