Subject:ARC 545 Higuera/486 Marsh Streets
Dear Architectural Review Commission,
As a local resident of SLO for almost a decade and a young professional in Downtown, I am quite supportive of
the proposed project at 545 Higuera. Creating more housing in Downtown is going to be crucial if we want it to
survive long-term, especially with retail changing so drastically. The more people we have walking and living in
Downtown, the healthier the local economy will be. I hope you approve this wonderful project so we can see it
completed as soon as possible.
From an ARC purview, I think the design is quite fitting for the neighborhood and the contemporary notes are
where we should be heading as SLO grows as a city. It will be very well received by many people in our
community, as well as those looking to call SLO home in the future.
Best,
M. Faríd Shahíd
Downtown SLO
