Dear SLO Planning Commission: Kim Bisheff, Scott Mann, Nicholas Osterbur, Hemalata Dandekar, Ronald
Malak, John Fowler, and Charles Stevenson:
Our city has made it clear that we need to prioritize housing. Workforce housing is the number one goal for the
City Council and it has been made clear that our residents agree with this goal. This project was identified as
one of 3 sites for workforce housing in the city according to the LUCE and the developers have worked
tirelessly with many stakeholders in this community to provide a good project that will focus on agricultural
heritage, community, multimodality and workforce housing.
There are too many people forced to commute into SLO for work and it's creating traffic problems, affecting the
environment, and decreasing the quality of life for our workforce. The amazing people contributing to our
economic vitality as a city deserve to be able to plant long-term roots here and be able to afford to live here, just
like many of you had the opportunity to do.
This project is the best use of this land and a much better use than the currently approved Measure J with
significantly fewer and larger homes and more big box retail. Please support getting San Luis Ranch through the
approval process and in the pipeline to become a reality because we need it desperately.
