COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
I am writing to you today in support of the Avila Ranch development project. I am a resident in the south part of San Luis (on
Mariposa Dr) very close to where this development is proposed, and I think that the addition of the Avila Ranch community
would be a significant benefit to both that specific part of town, and San Luis Obispo in general. As the parent of a young child I
have become acutely aware of the lack of parks in the south part of SLO, and the Avila Ranch does a great job of fixing that
problem. Also, it will be nice to see some growth in the residential community in our area. San Luis has a perpetual housing
shortage, and Avila Ranch is a good step in the direction of addressing the job/housing imbalance. Finally, the proposed
infrastructure improvements as they relate to traffic are sorely needed, and it seems evident that the only way to fund them is
through the impact fees and direct construction that Avila Ranch and similar types of projects contribute. Therefore, I am in full
support of the Avila Ranch development project, and I hope that they are able to start the construction of their sustainable,
community focused neighborhood soon.
Respectfully yours,
