Subject: Concerns involving Construction of Assisted Living Facility at 207 Pilgrim Way
We are home owners at Arroyo Grande and have a few concerns and questions involving the possible
construction of a new Assisted Living Facility at 207 Pilgrim Way. They are:
Question: Is this new facility replacing the current occupants (Lifepoint Church), or this building to be raised and a new
facility built In its place or added near the church on the same lot.
One of our concerns is the added traffic brought on by the new planned facility. Orchard street and the adjoining street,
Pilgram Way, which already experiences a heavy flow of traffic during the nearby high school time schedules through
out the day, along with the Cuesta College facility and their time schedules, and various Lucia Mar Unified School District
offices and warehouse, located on Orchard street.
I recently discovered in a claim I submitted, ID #5638 dated May 27, 2020, and on an appeal I submitted dated June 3,
2020, with the Neighborhood Services (Code Enforcement), of parking violation concerns on Pilgrim Way, that the City of
Arroyo Grande were not issuing parking permits, required by the currently legal posted Parking Permit signs located on
Pilgrim Way and Orchard Street, and would only be enforcing the 72 hour parking requirements code instead, regardless
of posted signs. In the past, the Parking Permit enforcement had been a tremendous help in keeping parking congestion
under control, and wish the ordinance would have been kept in place to maintain a quiet neighborhood we live on. So
for this fact, we feel, adding this facility would only increase the traffic flow and enhance parking violation issues on
Pilgrim Street and Orchard Street unless permit parking signs remain and codes enforced on these streets.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to submit our comments and concerns to the Planning Commission in regards
to the plans submitted for the construction of an Assisted Living Facility at 207 Pilgrim Way.
