Subject: Feedback and Concerns- Re:790 Foothill Blvd.
Rachel,
Rachel,
Has the design, setbacks or building height changed since they went to ARC? Can I have any
updated plans and recent meeting meetings regarding the project? Overall, I understand it is a good
infill project to meet additional housing needs. I do however have some concerns with the additional
height, mass, and setbacks adjacent to 227-249 N Chorro, SLO- Villa San Luis HOA. It is my hope
the City and the Developer can find a win - win project with minor modifications. Thank you for
considering my feedback on the project.
Feedback and Concerns:
-On the property line adjacent to the neighboring property, Villa San Luis HOA at 227-249 N Chorro;
consider additional setbacks considering the 4 story mass pushed against this elevation of the
project. On other projects, I have also seen the mass softened with some roof-line set backs.
-To have additional setbacks on N. Chorro to allow additional vegetation to soften the look of the
project, I walked the neighborhoods Condo/Apartment complexes and they have significantly larger
setbacks. The plans I reviewed, the building mostly went all the way to the street.
Can you forward my e-mail to the Planning Commission for review.
Sincerely,
1
