Arroyo Grande housing project moving ahead

January 22, 2026

By KAREN VELIE

Arroyo Grande is moving forward with a proposed 92-unit residential development that will help satisfy the state’s housing mandate. The Arroyo Grande Planning Commission voted 3-0 on Tuesday to to approve the project.

The project, Creekside Junction, includes two four-story residential buildings with 20 studios, 58 one bedroom and 14 two-bedroom units. The 1.81-acre property is located at 1271 and 1281 James Way near Curl Fitness.

Of the 92 units, 15% will be affordable housing.

“The general plan land use designation of the project site is mixed use, which is intended as an area for development of community commercial, office, residential and other compatible land uses in proximity to major arterial streets,” according to the staff report. “The project is consistent with the identified policies in the elements of the general plan below.”

Isn’t there some nice, open air river bed space avaliable for those that enjoy NOT reaching their potential in a free, capitalist America?

There is considerable precedence (maybe even a mandate) in this area for “affordable housing” simply being a euphemism for an income stream for politicians.

So, the planning approves 2 condo blocks because it’s in mixed-use zoning, but there’s no mixed-use? No commercial or retail unit/s? Say what?

Pretty sure the mix includes the current businesses in that block.

AG police… punch this address into your GPS because you will be there often…

Is this development really going to be placed right on the edge of a cliff? The picture looks just like so many places that are condemned the minute there is an earthquake, severe flood, etc. Why select anything other than stable ground for a new development? Seriously?

Why select anything other than stable ground for a new development? Because it’s for “poor” people and their safety doesn’t matter…as in SLO, where they build in the airport flightpath claiming low-income housing as the justification. Or in Grover, where they build in the tsunami moderate liquefaction zone, claiming two 600-square-foot affordable units amongst 21 luxury condos.

Are there not 5 members on the AG planning commission, if the vote was 3-0, why did two members not vote, and who voted Yes?


If this is truly to address some “housing crisis” why is there not a 100% owner occupied requirement? okay not realistic but it should be at least 75%.
