San Luis Obispo council authorizes defense and joint representation in lawsuit over Smart Share housing approval
Summary
In a closed session report the city attorney said the council authorized defense of litigation challenging approval of the 466 Dana Smart Share Housing project and approved retaining Ty Green to jointly represent the city and Smart Share Housing Solutions.
The San Luis Obispo City Council met in closed session and authorized the city to defend a lawsuit challenging the council’s approval of the 466 Dana Smart Share Housing project.
The city attorney reported that the litigation — filed by the San Luis Obispo Property and Business Owners Association and Leslie Halls against the City of San Luis Obispo, the City Council and Smart Share Housing Solutions — was the subject of a closed legal‑counsel conference. The city attorney said, “It's that rare occasion when we actually have reportable action, so we don't wanna miss that.”
On a motion by Council Member Schorzeman, seconded by Mayor Erica A. Stewart, the council voted 5-0 to authorize the city’s defense of the action and to authorize the city attorney’s office to retain attorney Ty Green to jointly represent Smart Share Housing Solutions and the city in the case.
The city attorney reported there was no further reportable action from the closed session.
Ending: The council did not discuss settlement terms in open session; the authorization is limited to defending the litigation and retaining counsel as described in the closed session report.
