Dear Planning Commission: Hemalata Dandekar, Daniel Knight, John Larsen, Ronald Malak and Charles Stevenson -
I've reviewed the San Luis Ranch EIR and I would like to offer my support of this project. The City desperately needs new housing
and we need housing of all types. There is a huge gap here in the cost of living vs. wages paid that is affecting the workforce of San
Luis Obispo dramatically because they can't afford to buy a home here.
I like that this project offers a variety of housing types and even though the single-family lots are smaller, it will still fill a huge need
for first time home buyers. The total number of units is reasonable but will still barely make a dent in increasing the housing stock up
to what this city needs. We have to start somewhere, though.
The EIR also discusses the actual construction of the houses using energy efficient features, which I think is huge. It's important for
people to realize that newer homes are more energy and water efficient than current homes in the city and not only are we trying to get
homes built here, we want to support environmentally friendly building whenever possible.
In general, I believe the EIR is a good public document and I commend the staff for their efforts on it. I am supportive of the analysis
and mitigation measures contained within.
Sincerely,
Audrey Bigelow
13+ Year Resident of San Luis Obispo
