My wife (K.C. Victor) and I are the owners of property at 547 Dana Street in San Luis
Obispo, which is on the same block as the proposed development at 1027 Nipomo Street. Our
property is currently occupied by other family members, and my wife and I plan to retire there in
the next few years.
We have reviewed the file on this matter as it appears on the City's website. Although we
do not object in principal to the proposed development, and applaud many of the changes that have
been made from the original proposal as submitted in 2016, we do have one overriding concern
about the project as currently proposed.
As you know, the project includes both a significant retail component and 47 hotel rooms.
But the project provides only 22 parking spaces. This means that, if the hotel is fully occupied,
the project will likely burden the area with 25 vehicles for which the project itself does not provide
parking, and this is without regard to the parking needs of shoppers attracted to the retail uses. It
is already very difficult to find on -street parking for visitors to our home on Dana Street, and the
additional parking needs for the proposed project will likely make the current parking situation on
Dana Street far worse. We urge the Architectural Review Commission to require this project to
provide substantially more dedicated parking than the current proposal.
