Dear Commissioners,

CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO b

AUG 10 2016 o'
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Regarding item 2, I would like you to make sure that transitions are placed between low and high density
residential neighborhoods everywhere in the city. This is consistent with a 2015 City booklet which
describes R-2 zones as areas that "usually lie between zones of higher and lower residential density and / or
adjacent to office zones or neighborhood commercial." If you take a close look at the zoning map, you
immediately notice that most R-1 neighborhoods in SLO enjoy a transition made by a R-2 neighborhood (or at
least, R-3) before things shift to R-4. However three neighborhoods, all located north of town, have been
deprived of this type of transition:
1. Large area between Foothill, Luneta, Broad and Verde.
2. Large area between North Chorro, Cerro Romauldo and Cuesta
3. Small triangle between Foothill, California and Hathway.
As a result, these neighborhoods have faced all sorts of abuse that other neighborhoods never had to face, the
last example being 71 Palomar (neighborhood 1), and to a lesser extent, 135 Ferrini (neighborhood 2). And
why? Is it because they are close to Cal Poly? Is it because they are the victims of hidden agendas? In any
case, if they had received the same protection as everyone else in the city, these neighborhoods would not be
presently facing the certain deterioration of their environment and their wellbeing.
Sincerely,
Odile Ayral
North Chorro
This is what happens when you build a 3 story building next to a small house. Not a pretty sight!
