Barry Jones, Simón Laurie, David Spiva, Andrew Follick (SLOU40), Teddy Burton,
LynAnne Wiest, Kevin Rice, and Brett Strickland.
The following San Luis Obispo residents and business owners or representatives offered
suggestions for improvements to the RHIP: Andy Pease, Matt Roberts, Judy Lewelling,
Sylvia Drucker, Michelle Tasseff, Charlene Rosales (Chamber of Commerce), Andrew
Brown, Carolyn Smith, and Graham Updegrove.
Steve Delmartini, San Luis Obispo, spoke in favor of extending the amnesty period and
asked several questions for clarification about the RHIP: Does it apply to condominiums
and Planned Developments; are smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors tested; and
can a den or office be used as a bedroom.
Donald Hedrick, San Luis Obispo, spoke off topic.
---End of Public Comments---
Chief Building Official Schneider responded to questions raised by Mr. Delmartini noting
that the ordinance defines “homes” and added that a condominium, if developed as a single-
family home would be subject to the RHIP. She explained that inspections include verifying
that safety measures (including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) are in place, but they
are not tested. She also pointed out that the inspections are not to determine high occupancy,
but to determine if the property has been altered to create additional living space.
Council discussion ensued.
Council Member Carpenter stated that he had opposed the adoption of the ordinance and he
continues to object to it because it is overreaching, invades people’s privacy, is
discriminatory and has unintended consequences, including driving tenants out of town. He
added that he could not support the extension of the amnesty because he doesn’t support the
RHIP.
Council Member Rivoire remarked that he could not vote in favor of the policy directions
because he has deep concerns about the RHIP. He urged the Council majority to consider
different ways to evaluate the RHIP; and suggested several metrics and enhancements to the
inspection checklist.
Council feedback on the RHIP followed, as reflected in the Action below.
ACTION: MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER ASHBAUGH, SECONDED BY
COUNCIL MEMBER CHRISTIANSON CARRIED 3:2 (CARPENTER AND RIVOIRE
VOTING NO) to:
1. Received and filed the annual report regarding the Rental Housing Inspection Program.
(RHIP); and
