Dear ARC Committee:
Item: 12 -
RECEIVED RECEIVED
CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
MAY 0 2 2017
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
I am writing to urge you to recommend approval to the City Council of the San Luis Ranch Specific Plan
Design Guidelines.
The City has made it clear that housing is it's number one priority for the upcoming budget cycle as we desperately
need new and affordable housing of all types. By providing more available housing, we can help reduce the amount of
traffic coming into SLO just for the work day, which is becoming a serious issue. The City population doubles M -F
because so many people can't afford housing within the city.
This specific plan shows housing units that will range in sizes and styles and will appeal to a variety of families and a
variety of incomes. Small families and young professionals would gladly sacrifice size for proximity to the places they
need to go and we need to make that happen so the wonderful and talented people that are working here and
contributing to this city's success don't have to move away.
Building new homes have been shown to be more efficient than older homes and this project has an emphasis on
green building and energy efficient features to reduce the impact on the environment while also reducing greenhouse
gas emissions because people will be traveling shorter distances to work daily.
Sincerely,
Audrey Bigelow
