Subject: no to proposed rezoning
Dear Mayor Harmon, Vice Mayor Christianson, Council Member Gomez, Council Member Pease and Council
Member Rivoire:
I am opposed to the proposed rezoning changes that will allow for tiny homes in backyards of R-1 low-density
neighborhoods. The height of a tiny home would well exceed the height of my backyard fence. It would be an
eyesore (building heights matter for a cohesive neighborhood look and for privacy). The best part of my house
is my backyard. It's kinda small, but it's the place I love spending time in when I have a day off. Having a
neighbor's loft overlooking my backyard, isn't what I envisioned when I purchased my home.
Also, as an avid bike rider, I don't agree that the masses will be turning to bikes for transportation any time
soon. After many years of cycling down LOVR and turning onto Oceanaire, I recently changed things up so
that I would avoid riding LOVR. The reason? A noticeable increase in vehicle traffic on LOVR makes getting to
the left turn lane (on to Oceanaire), difficult and that makes me feel unsafe. More people = more cars. That's
the sad truth.
The vision of building-out SLO is just one big experiment that will forever change, for the worse, our wonderful
city.
