Subject:Proposed six story development at 1144 Chorro St.
Honorable Mayor and Council Persons:
Thank you for your service and for considering my comments. It is shocking to me that City Staff at the Planning Dept.
are encouraging approval of this project. It is wildly inappropriate in size and scale for the surrounding downtown
buildings.
I won’t waste your time by going over details but I strongly support the reasons for denial of this project in this form as
suggested in Allan Cooper’s earlier letter.
Change is inevitable and can be positive, but it needs to be conforming and respectful change that honors our Design
Guidelines and the unique “sense of place” that makes San Luis Obispo special.
I submit to you that this project in its current form is wildly out of scale for our city. Housing is a priority for the city, but
not at the cost of tasteful and appropriate design
Let’s work together to create solidly respectful change in our downtown and not something this out of scale. I like many
city residents am fearful of the direction development is taking in our town. I urge you to deny this project in its current
form and listen to the suggestions of the ARC and CHC given on this project.
Respectfully,
Diane Duenow
