San Luis Obispo proposed residential development moves forward

April 4, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

After listening to mutiple proposed plans for a 409 unit residential development off Los Osos Valley Road, the San Luis Obispo City Council on Tuesday directed staff to process the developer’s application.

If approved, Broadstone Village is slated to include 208 senior housing units, 201 multifamily units, a new bypass road, and an extension of the Bob Jones Trail. Property for the development sits on both sides of Los Osos Valley Road on the east side of Highway 101.

The developer is seeking annexation of one of three parcels of land planned for development, a general plan amendment, and rezoning

The SLO City Council also asked staff to confirm that funding strategies for the bypass road will be developed during the review process, with no general fund contributions allocated for its construction.

This was the first step in the review process for the development that will also require a full environmental review along with hearings before the Airport Land Use Commission, the Active Transportation Committee and the Planning Commission.

Other than the fact that a few people will make large amounts of money from this, can anyone explain the benefits for existing residents of SLO? THERE ARE NONE. So why is this moving toward approval?

All developments will be approved all the time moving forward around here… why?

Because the City , County and State are desperate for the new property tax revenue!

Millions a year outta nowhere. Where else are they going to find it?

Also every ADU conversion is adding fuel to the local fire. Former industrial parks now have apartment buildings.The roads and infrastructure weren’t designed to handle this rapid influx.

Hope you like traffic, because no amount of bike lanes and electric buses are going to change this sad state of affairs. There is no”planning” and no, there will never be “affordable housing”.

Why bother with an Airport Land Use Commission Hearing that will be overruled by the city council because it’s an RRM project with a politically connected developer? (a la Gary Grossman)

I thought the FBI cleaned up the corruption in SLO when Ryan Petetit pled guilty to a single count of conspiracy? Don’t tell me there are other corrupt land developers still out there.

San Luis Obispo is becoming less and less of a “Happy Town” due largely to increased traffic congestion. Lovely..
