We need to protect the fragile eco system of the chaparral, and to keep the peace for the surrounding residents.

Absolutely these grows MUST have full EIRs that show cumulative impact. Given the known environmental impacts and the severe deficiencies in what SLO County is qualifying as a 'Minimum Negative Declaration', nothing less than a full EIR should be required!

It doesn't take a lot of brain cells to see this is a horrible project for this area. Water, Traffic, Crime, Fire, all the concerns of those who live on Parkhill.

This area is in virtually continuous drought state. A development like this clearly does not belong here.

Get that EIR done first.
Check water supply first

We worked all our lives for what we have in this beautiful, wild, remote area. We got away from the places where marijuana was grown and used. We're too old to start over somewhere else. We barely manage with the water we have and have dug "recharging" swales on our property. Now, there is a possibility of someone (not from here -- Mr. Pitchess doesn't count -- he's from L.A.) having a marijuana grow within my sight and smell, using the water we so desperately conserve?!? This is so wrong. If our County allows this, I will be convinced of a bad smell. Imagine, having a meeting about this during a pandemic. We are remote and far away from our government offices. I hope they read these comments.

This would be a bad business for this area.

There is not enough water, law enforcement, or proper roads to support this. Please do a EIR. Thank you!

I appose cannabis near residential neighborhoods. The water usage alone is a BIG red flag! Where do you think all that water is going to come from? What about all the people who live there & enjoy being able to drink their own water, take a shower & flush their toilets? You must require an environmental impact study. Expect more law suits. Unacceptable!

The limited enviromental review that was done is not efficient. We need a full environmental review.

Not good for our neighborhood. Jeopardizes many families way of life, will destroy the fragile ground water situation and endanger families throughout the valley

The Pegaso project would significantly deplete or destroy the groundwater supply, significantly impair groundwater recharge and would leave neighbors without water for their homes. This project will significantly increase traffic on River Road, a narrow dirt road, which is dusty when it dry and muddy when it's wet. They also propose a 24/7 Security Team to guard their cash crop, which is a magnet for crime. An EIR should be prepared for Water issues, Public Safety issues, Traffic Issues, Legacy Farming issues, Terpene drift and other identified matters.

This project is to be created on a road that is far to narrow to support the trucks coming in and out. But this is a mute point because Marijuana can’t grow without water!
