Dear SLO Planning Commission and City Council Members —
RECEIVED
CITY OF SAS' LUIS OBISPO
JUN 16 2017
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
I am writing in support of the Avila Ranch project, which will be up for approval by the Planning Commission on June 28.
Not only will this project address the city's severe housing shortage, it will also solve several vexing traffic problems. The
extension of Buckley Road to South Higuera will provide a HUGE relief to those of us who must make that treacherous left turn
from Vachell Lane on a daily basis to reach the businesses, schools and freeway connections off Los Osos Valley Road. Every
Monday and Friday for the past 3 years, I have had to make that risky left turn with a car loaded with kids in carpool to Laguna
Middle School from the Country Club neighborhood. Many families like ours will benefit from the Buckley Road
extension. Likewise, there will be improvements on S. Higuera to the north made in connection with this project that will
improve safety for the entire SLO community.
Additionally, this project will add approximately 18 acres of new parks, which are desperately needed in the south part of town,
as well as safe new bike paths for all to enjoy. Avila Ranch does all of the above and will bring much-needed workforce housing
that will allow businesses like mine to be able to recruit employees and grow.
I strongly support the Avila Ranch project and recommend approval by the Planning Commission and the City Council. Thank
you for your consideration and dedication to San Luis Obispo.
Regards,
