Concerned Citizens of Cayucos

The developer (Franco DeCicco) has submitted to the county, a redesign of this project, on October 21, 2008.  Above are two architectural drawings of a public document from the San Luis Obispo county planning department, which in itself shows how massive, dense and out-of-scale this development would be. This is the current design of this project. To view a higher resolution picture, please click on them. Also, please view the other architectural drawings further down.

- Latest Update -

The Coastal Commission on Aug. 12th 2009, concluded that this project is appealable. On Nov. 4th 2009, the Coastal Commission unanimously voted to hear the appeal filed by the Concerned Citizens of Cayucos. The next hearing date is pending until further notice.

It is very important for anyone who is interested in the preservation of the Cayucos coastline, and mitigating precedent setting, massive and out-of-scale construction in Cayucos, to attend these hearings.

The SLO County Planning Commission conditionally approved this project on June 26, 2008.  The final approval calls for the hotel portion to be 2 stories, and no more then 22 feet in height.  They also required additional mitigations concerning possible soil contamination, construction traffic, dust containment during construction, and a performance bond.

The developer (Franco DeCicco) had filed an appeal with the Board of Supervisors, and the hearing was on Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at 1:30 pm at the SLO County Government Center, 1055 Monterey St., Rm D170, downtown San Luis Obispo.  His main objection and the basis for his appeal was the height limit.

This informational web site has been set up to facilitate you, the people
of Cayucos, out-of-town visitors and Cayucos home owners, who are
not interested in accepting the magnitude of the Cayucos Del Mar project,
which we say is completely unacceptable for the following reasons:

 

Light Pollution
Pedestrian Safety
Water and Sewage
Commercial Garbage Collection
Major Traffic and Noise Increase
Size (Out of Scale with the Surrounding
     Residential Neighborhood)
Architecture (Not Consistent with the
     Surrounding Neighborhood)
Will Set an Undesirable Precedent

We love Cayucos because of it's relaxed, beach-town environment. We are not looking for a big development that will compromise where we live and play with a "Newport Beach" agenda. We understand that the owner of this property has a right to develop it, and we ask that it be reasonable in size, and consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. We don't want a monstrosity that is going to severely impact the local residents who live here full time, or the folks visiting from out of town who appreciate the quaint charm that Cayucos has always provided.            Recent article - The San Francisco Chronicle.
