Subject:Nov 12. Agenda Item 10
City Council Members,
I urge you to Deny rezoning of properties at 609 & 633 PALM, 610, 614 & 630 MONTEREY, 970 & 972
NIPOMO STREETS if it means the destruction of the Heyd Adobe.
I am absolutely a lover of theater but I am also a firm believer that we need to do all we can to keep our
historic buildings. The Heyd Adobe at 614 Monterey is a beautiful old building that also has part of an
adobe wall still mostly intact. If it does not qualify for historic preservation and deserve protection…. I
don’t know what does.
It is disturbing that our City can call itself a lover of History and accept Tree City awards and then destroy
both when they get in the way. Eventually all we will have is a town that looks like every other town and
maybe a sign that will tell us what used to be there.
Please, find a way to work with our Irreplaceable past and rework the project a bit. Maybe take a little
space from the monstrous parking structure. Future citizens will thank you when we can point to a truly
unique San Luis Obispo building saved from the bulldozer.
Sincerely,
Meg Evans
