Subject:790 Chorro, Agenda 1/15/19
Hello,
I am unable to attend tonights meeting as I am working, therefore I am writing to oppose the four story complex proposed for 790
Foothill. This area of Foothill cannot handle that much traffic. Currently there are problems parking and just getting around. My
biggest opposition is that building such tall buildings blocks the views of the hills around us, which makes San Luis the town we know
and love. Views have already been impeded by 22 Chorro. Please do not ruin this area. There is plenty of housing especially with Cal
Poly’s dorm on Grand and also MANY empty retail spaces. Why build more? Adding that many units will increase traffic and crime,
impair parking, and does not go with the aesthetics of the area. Just look at 22 Chorro. it is an eyesore where it is, and NOT full. A
building such as 22 Chorro would be fine on South Broad as it aligns with the architecture of that area. Another gargantuan building
on Foothill, will be a mistake.
As residents, when improving our homes are held to historical standards of our neighborhoods. Why not hold builders to the same
standards? Please take the time to look at the area and see if you think that this building will work with the surrounding buildings
and aesthetics and also take into consideration how many empty storefronts there are already in this area.
I hope you will consider my option and altering the project to possible two story like the other apartments on Foothill, other than 22
Chorro.
Respectfully submitted,
Vernanne Cohen
358 Broad Street.
