Subject: Music venue by airport
SLO City Council,
I suspect you are probably hearing from many residents out in the Tank Farm area, but I want to add my concerns
regarding the potential music venue out by the airport.
While I think such a venue could be a valuable addition to our community, I am concerned about the potential for noise
out here in the French Park neighborhoods. We are accustomed to the noise level associated with the airport and the
train, and we bought our homes knowing this was a factor to consider. However, we certainly did not consider the
impact of having live bands play within a few blocks of our home every weekend, potentially drawing hundreds of
screaming fans. Nor did we imagine the impact of all of those fans driving and parking in this area, with particular
concern that some will be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. On the nights when there are events, there will be a
considerable degree of impact and even danger in our otherwise quiet, safe, and peaceful neighborhood.
My husband and I both enjoy live music, and we particularly appreciate the pleasure of an outdoor venue. However, if
this venue is to be approved, I would hope that every effort will be taken to minimize both the size and the impact on
surrounding neighborhoods such as ours.
Thank you.
