REZONING, ITEM 2
Dear Planning Commissioners,
We are a family of five living on Mission Lane in San Luis Obispo. I am a Cal Poly professor. My wife
is a nurse at Sierra Vista. Together we've cobbled together a combined livable wage to
support ourselves and three young children. We've lived on Mission Lane for nearly 20 years now.
Along with our neighbors we worked very hard to be able to buy/afford and improve the property and
neighborhood we now live in.
We again ask that you place the S Overlay on the entire Bressi Estate property (159 and 161
North Broad Street) making it R-1-S and C/OS/20-S as part of the citywide rezoning.
This will provide extra protection for an important portion of San Luis Mountain located within the city
and its wildlife, habitat, wildlife corridor, seasonal streams, views, natural resources and allow wildlife
to access the habitat of Old Garden Creek. Habitat connectivity is extremely important and once and
if the wildlife corridor is gone, that’s it, which will truly be a sad loss and day for San Luis Obispo. It’s
important that we protect the entire wildlife corridor to the fullest extent possible. We need to look out
not just for present day residents of San Luis Obispo, but future generations as well.
We residents of the neighborhood were assured of this S Overlay in 2015 and this property will now
conform with the General Plan and COSE as recommended by city staff.
Thank you,
Chris and Brenda Carr
