Subject:7 story Monterey St project
My name is Scott Hendry and I've been a Resident and Home Owner here in San Luis Obispo for 20 years. I am
adamantly against the ordinance to allow 7 story buildings on upper Monterey St.
I grew up in Santa Barbara when it was a great little town that was unique, eclectic and a wonderful place to
live and look what happened there. Over the years I have seen SLO turn another Quaint small town into what I
would consider almost a Metropolitan City.
The Traffic and Parking has become unbearable and the charm of the city has been slowly chipped away at
with all the growth both Downtown and the surrounding areas. Los Osos Valley road is a almost impossible to
navigate at all times of the day and doing this to upper Monterey street would have the same effect. A nice
walk down the street would feel like any other major City in the Country.
I don't normally object to reasonable growth but this is just too much. Our infrastructure can't handle it and
I'm sure everyone except the Investors that will profit from it are against it as well.
I have never objected to small tax increases to improve our town but this is just pure GREED.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best Regards,
Scott Hendry
