As a Cal Poly alumni and 20+ year business owner in San Luis Obispo, it is refreshing to see thi s type of project being proposed in San Luis Obispo . The mixed use, affordable housing an d commercial uses, is exactly what the City has been promoting and what is needed in San Lui s Obispo . The owner of the property contacted me early in the design phase of the project and asked m y opinions regarding the demand for commercial uses in the area . Given the lack of demand, m y advice was to minimize the commercial aspects of the project and emphasis the residentia l aspect that would be supported by its proximity to Cal Poly . I feel the owners and thei r architects have achieved this balance and will have success in leasing the project based on th e demand that is available . Based on prior comments from the ARC and Planning Commission, the owners have als o redesigned the project to reduce the size and scale of the project to fit with the neighborhood . They have done this while supporting the City's affordable housing element by includin g affordable housing as a part of the project . It is nice to see owners willing to include affordabl e housing their proposed projects without demanding the maximum allowable density . Based on the project's balance of commercial, residential, and affordable housing and it s proximity to Cal Poly, I'm sure this project will be successful and provide a need for additiona l student housing . I would appreciate it if you forward my support for this project to each of the Committe e members prior to the meeting . Sincerely, Mark Anderson
