Hello. There are a great number of conditions in and around this project which render it
ill advised for the locale and timing of this project.
1. This is prime agricultural land and, as such, is grossly inappropriate to be developed
into housing tracts and is inconsistent with SLO City laws on preservation of agricultural
and development of same as LAST resort. Use of this land is also inconsistent with
State law.
2. As this extreme property development abuts the SLO County airport, lasting ill and
dangerous affects will occur with extreme danger being the foremost problem with pilot
problems attempting to avoid both noise and potential safety issues of the first
order. Basically, to build 720 homes and other structures next to an active airport
where potential collisions between planes and fallout to the ground of various materials
damaging ground facilities and housing areas, fuel exhaust which will destroy the air
quality, and a host of other SIGNIFICANT issues deem this project too dangerous to
BUILD. Do not approve this on any level.
I haven't even mentioned the most critical aspect in my opinion... TRAFFIC! Should you
approve this project to move forward, you will be engendering total gridlock on SR 227
(Broad), Buckley Road, and at the County Airport itself. I drive this area daily as do
1000's of others. It is pure madness with the current agricultural lands, not a
development.
Has anyone considered what the potential impact of the following project would be?

To my mind the planners have lost their heads on this project. Also, if this disastrous
project is approved, we could lose our airport, traffic would come to a complete
standstill, especially during construction of the housing building at Avila Ranch and the
changes on SR 227 due to the implementation of this SLOCOG project which is
currently flying mostly under the radar.
Have you as a group consulted all the big business owners here in slo who rely on the
airport often for the very existence of their enterprise? What will occur when pilots
become restricted to fewer flights, limited hours of arrival and departure, and severe
encroachment on our airport at the very nexus of its welcome expansion into a better
functioning airport. No longer do we have to go to San Francisco, or Los Angeles for
many of our flights. There are promises of better and more eastbound connections in
the near future and your plan is to destroy any opportunity for our maturing of this
flying community due to short-sighted profit of the builder.
This project is wrong on every count. It should not be built. Not now and not ever. I
will be commenting directly on the DEIR. However, with company arriving for
Christmas tomorrow, and the illegitimate timing of the release and requirement for
comment during the holiday time period was a diabolical plan to slide this project past
the populace and it is not only unwelcomed, but just plain wrong. You should be
ashamed.
please reject the project on ANY level.
