Also at last night’s City Council meeting, it was decided to postpone any action regarding a vote to overrule of the Airport Land Use Commission’s (ALUC) findings to a special Council meeting on December 9. Newly elected council member Dan Rivoire cited his desire to hear from more community members before making a decision. An overrule of the ALUC findings is needed to adopt the draft Land Use and Circulation Element. The remainder of the council stood firm to their previous positions – John Ashbaugh, Carlyn Christianson, Jan Marx all for an overrule and Dan Carpenter against. Public comment spoke overwhelmingly in favor of moving forward and respecting the multi-year process. Those who voiced their opinions included affordable housing advocates from the Housing Authority San Luis Obispo and For The Future Housing, whose combined projects would add 66 units locally. Both projects have been stalled or have missed out on significant state and federal funding opportunities due to the delay of the LUCE approval. The City’s aviation consultant addressed concerns about the overrule, including fears about resident safety and inhibiting the future growth of the airport. He noted that the City’s proposal is in alignment with the Airport Land Use Plan zones already in place and no new safety zones are being proposed. The LUCE, like the ALUP, prohibits housing under the take-off and landing protection zones, and is consistent with the airport’s plans for future growth and increased operations.
