RE: 1027 Nipomo
Dear Chairperson Root and Commissioners,
Please follow the recommendation of the Cultural Heritage Commission and approve the resolution denying
the proposed project.
It is too massive for the one-story scale of historic buildings and would overwhelm and dilute the Creamery -
Cipinot experience and ambience.
The choice of most decorative fixtures and awnings, as well as wall materials are not consistent with the
Historic Preservation Guidelines.
I appreciate all the architect has done to revise the project into a more articulated and smaller scale
building. However, the project program is out of scale with the surrounding historic buildings, and a
two- to three-story program should be preferable for this site. Thank you for your consideration.
