Street) RZ-1629-2018
PLEASE FORWARD TO PLANNING COMMISSION PRIOR TO JUNE 27, 2018 MEETING AND
POST ON AGENDA CORRESPONDENCE. THANK YOU.
Planning Commissioners:
Please follow staff's recommendation and place the S-Overlay and its listed considerations*
on the ENTIRE Bressi estate parcel ( R-1-S & C/OS-20-S address: 159/161 Broad Street). This
includes uphill parts of the Bressi property on San Luis Mountain, the C/OS-20 above Mission
Lane and the R-1 above 161 Broad Street as well as the wildlife corridor which runs down to
Broad Street.
The wildlife corridors, seasonal creeks, springs and swales which run down Cerro San Luis
and through the Bressi estate to Old Garden Creek are essential for the survival of the
mountain's wildlife. As an adjacent resident of the remainder parcel for 44 years, I have
personally witnessed the tremendous amount of water in its seasonal creeks, swales and
springs, the incredible abundance of wildlife and how critical it is to their continued survival.
Maintaining the connectivity between the Cerro San Luis habitat and the riparian habitat of Old
Garden Creek is essential; the wildlife on Cerro San Luis need to move about for survival,
protection, reproduction, and to obtain food and water.
As you are aware, protection of the City's Open Space, especially hillsides and creeks are the
very highest priority of city residents in the City's massive survey for the 2014 General Plan
Land Use and Circulation Elements (LUCE) update.
Thank you for your votes to place the S-Overlay with its special considerations* on the
ENTIRE Bressi estate thereby protecting the wildlife corridors and natural resources within
the City of San Luis Obispo.
Sincerely,
Cheryl McLean
