Dear Planning Commissioners,
RECEIVED
CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
JAN 1 1 2017
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
I cannot believe that I'm writing my second email to you about another development that you
will review tonight that will destroy and pave over PRIME farmland, violating State of
California laws and common sense. My previous email was regarding Avila Ranch and this one
is about San Luis Ranch, a double loss for our town is on your plate tonight. In San Luis
Obispo's mad rush to grow it seems that we are totally ignoring the history of cities to the North
and South of us that were once as lovely as San Luis.
There are so many permitted projects and ones in the pipeline that we are now in a spot where it
is impossible to envision our future and the quality of life and the impacts we are creating for
future generations and the environment. In five years our wonderful town will be
unrecognizable. The San Luis Ranch project is simply unacceptable and no amount of
"mitigation" will ever make up for what will be lost.
Please help us to slow down and consider the negative health and safety aspects in terms of
infrastructure, traffic/circulation, flight path location, air quality (low inversion layer), water use,
Climate Change and history. The negative impacts of the loss of large trees (habitat/nesting
birds) and the land with its topsoil and potential for sustainability of our food source into the
future is just plain wrong. Please have the fortitude to carefully examine this project and help to
protect the future of San Luis Obispo.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Cheryl McLean
San Luis Obispo
