San Luis Obispo County Events Ordinance

CABO also includes farmers, ranchers, and other landowners who own agricultural land directly targeted by the proposed ordinance, as well as owners of other rural or residential properties (e.g., B&Bs) that might be indirectly affected by this or subsequent similar proposals.

CABO is open to all County residents or other interested parties who oppose the Planning Commission’s proposed ordinance.

The Proposed Events Ordinance is ill-advised, especially at this critical juncture in the economic cycle of our County.

The ordinance would harm the County’s vital and burgeoning wedding industry, creating ripple effects throughout related businesses and the County-wide economy.

Much-needed wedding tourism and agri-tourism dollars would be siphoned away from SLO County by neighboring, wedding-friendly counties, costing the County significant revenues, job losses, and further stagnating our local economy.

James Richards - I’m against any more ordinance’s period. I read every day on more rules permits, fees, regulations,enough is enough.Business can not afford the time or money to research these on going over the top regs. with delays and cost increase’s.

Marybeth and Scott

Marybeth and Scott are two of the fittest people I have ever photographed. I ride my bike constantly and am in pretty good shape but, these two were running circles around me. I am always so happy to see couples that share so much in common and are obviously best friends. Towards the end of our session, the sunlight started to bounce off the barn roof and through the hazy coastal fog, sending small flecks of golden light through the grass and making for a perfect ending to an amazing day. Thanks for a great time and I wish you two the very best!
