Please post with Agenda Correspondence. Thank you.
Planning Commissioners,
I am writing this to request that you require the infrastructure for the San Luis Ranch development to put in
first prior to any building. The traffic is a nightmare in that area of San Luis Obispo already and the
additional stress on overcrowded streets without the Prado road overpass, a new north and south entrance
to Highway 101, and other street improvements in place will only exacerbate the problem. The existing
roads in that area of town are already overcrowded and at peak times it's bumper to bumper traffic. In the
future, when Avila Ranch also dumps large numbers of vehicles onto Higuera, LOVR, Madonna Rd. and
101, the effects of these two projects combined will have citizens will wondering what our planners were
thinking. Please plan carefully for the effects of all of this sudden growth and make the infrastructure
happen first.
Residents of SLO will also be subjected to poorer air quality (and noise) as a result of more vehicles idling
and stuck in traffic. Please consider preserving the trees along with the health and safety effects. Our low
inversion layer in San Luis and the amount of traffic is already resulting in poor air quality. Have we not
learned from the mistakes of other cities to the North and South of us and the ramifications that occur ?
The sacrifice of prime agriculture land is another aspect which needs to be carefully considered. It is
pathetic that more of the property cannot be preserved following the State of California guidelines. Homes
should not be built on land that are class A and needs to be preserved for local food production, eliminating
fresh produce from long truck trips to deliver food.
The San Luis Ranch property is in the airport flight path and will restrict our future airport service. This is
yet another quality of life issue where existing residents have to sacrifice for housing that will not end up
being affordable to the vast majority of working class families who desire to live here. It is a sham.
Please do what you can to protect our quality of life and the remaining character of San Luis Obispo and
think about what is being created and the long term effects. You have the power to protect our beloved
spot and keep it from going in the direction of so many of our other California that were once
wonderful. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Cheryl McLean
51 year resident of SLO
