Subject:Support Modernization of Zoning
Dear City Council,
I wanted to provide written comments for tonight’s agenda item on zoning. As a new city resident, I am excited to see the city
working to address the challenges the community is facing by revisiting its zoning regulations. I applaud your efforts to be
creative on how to best incorporate growth in our city. I’m excited to see you are considering ADUs, co-housing, and other
ways to incorporate aesthetically appealing high-density development. I am glad you are also considering transitions between
zoning areas. We must figure out how to grow. No growth is not an option for SLO or the county.
I was not able to find in my quick scan of your documents online how you are ensuring more area for childcare facilities (or if
you are thinking about this need). Along with the need for affordable (and more) housing for working families, having access
to quality childcare is a huge need for families in our community. Many current childcare facilities are at capacity with long
wait lists. These businesses would open more facilities if there were suitable and affordable locations in SLO. I urge you to
consider, at the same time you are considering live-where-you-work policies that you also consider childcare-where-you-live-
n-work policies.
Thank you.
