COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Good morning
As a motorist who turns left out of Rolling Hills, I ask you to consider the impact this development would make. As a
resident who conserves water, I wonder how this project ever got this far?!

The proposed Avila Ranch with 720 houses isn't a done deal yet — one alternative offered in
the EIR is "to have no project at all". So, if anyone has concerns or comments, would you
please send an email to Planning Commission at advisorybodies(7slocity.org or to Tyler
Corey, Principal Planner at tcorey@slocity.org. The deadline is January 18th. Thank you!
You can read more about the development at http://www.slocity.org/Aovernment/der)artment-

Dear Advisory Bodies and Tyler,
am very concerned about the Avila Ranch Project. A dense housing project on the very
edge of town will magnify the traffic problems we currently have, especially on 227 and
Buckley Road at peak travel times. Of course, Vachell and Higuera will be a problem, Los
Osos Valley Road and south Higuera, Prado and Higuera - already too much traffic lined up
turning left onto Prado, the intersection of Higuera and Madonna Road, anyone trying to leave
their driveways on Buckley, anyone trying to leave Rolling Hills at Crestmont and 227 -
currently a huge problem at peak traffic.
have already been asked by California Cities Water Company to conserve water, conserve
more water, and then conserve even more water. So, we do not have water for this huge
project.
What about the agricultural land?
What about the airport flight path? Houses should not be near there. People will complain
about airport noise, and then what? We need the airport business, not more houses. If you
want dense housing move it into town where those residents can ride their bikes in town to
shopping areas.
We do not have the infrastructure. The rural area will be destroyed. I do not want another LA,
Orange County or Santa Barbara. We need to preserve our quality of life here right now.
Thank you for reading my email and taking into consideration what I've said. I believe we
need to take care of the needs of the residents here — water, services, traffic issues,
infrastructure.
