Planning Commission approves revised permit for Alpha Epsilon Pi at 280 California Blvd., warns of return if violations continue
Summary
The Planning Commission approved updated conditions for Alpha Epsilon Pi’s conditional use permit at 280 California Boulevard after staff cited repeated noise and unruly‑gathering complaints; commissioners voted 4–2 to adopt the changes and made clear continued violations will prompt a rereview and possible revocation.
The San Luis Obispo Planning Commission voted 4–2 to adopt revised conditions for Alpha Epsilon Pi’s conditional use permit at 280 California Boulevard following staff’s re‑review of repeated noise and unruly‑gathering citations.
Associate Planner Hannah Hahn told the commission the fraternity’s original 1983 use permit allowed up to 19 residents and that recent noise evaluations in 2023 and 2024 triggered a mandatory rereview (Use‑625‑2024). Staff recommended updated findings and conditions to align the CUP with current sections of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code (Title 17 zoning changes and Title 9 noise/peace provisions), stricter noise‑standards, limits on gatherings and clear neighbor communication requirements.
“These modifications would ensure that the fraternity would continue in a manner that’s compatible with existing and proposed uses in the vicinity,” Hahn said in her presentation. She added that the updated conditions mirror requirements imposed on other fraternities in recent approvals and that rereviews may result in added, modified or removed conditions—or revocation—if violations meet the code’s standards.
