Chair Wynn and Commissioners:
I'm writing as a proponent of increased housing supply, and I'm in support of this specific development. I believe we are
at a critical stage of a lack of housing of all style and types in San Luis Obispo.
After review of the staff report, it basically states that this development has been designed to be consistent with the
Community Design Guidelines as well as the Margarita Are Specific Plan and is in "substantial compliance". With the
exception of a street yard setback reduction of approx. 5 feet there are no other exceptions requested.
I believe the applicant is following the City guidelines/requirements and should not be penalized for doing so. The staff
report indicated a pre development meeting was held in March and the applicant returned trying to address those
concerns conveyed at that meeting.
It is my opinion that developers need to be able to build to allowed densities, have city guidelines/requirements such as
height, set backs, parking etc ... that will give them some assurance that if they meet those established development
rules, it should allow them to move forward.
Thank you for your time and consideration, I hope you can support this and move it along.
Steve Delmartini
