Your vision was captured in the Village Master Plan and zoning planned accordingly. Tourists and residents like walking around, going to restaurants, and coming off the beaches they are likely to visit retail shops. Tourists don't have surgery or have their nails done on the spur of the moment while walking around or going to dinner. Retail activities suffer along Carlsbad Blvd. toward Grand Ave. We merchants are doing what we can to attract attention to our area. Starbucks was a good addition. Visitors and tourists are attracted because of the few shops and we need to keep on going and add more retail stores to continue the momentum that you have established. The zoning area was supposed to be a "tourist area" and zoning was establish that way for a purpose. Let's not ignore plans by exercising your easy to come by prerogative to make exceptions. Millennium Arts (2903 Carlsbad Blvd.) came to its location because of the small shopping center and area intended use. That's what you were verbally advertising. We would not have rented there if we had thought that this would be an area for services types businesses. The Plastic Surgeon's office already hurts us. That office is closed 2-3 days a week and people go there for a different purpose than "walking around Carlsbad" and seeing the nice stores and restaurants. The same would be tme for the Nail shop. A Nail Shop adds nothing to the "Charm of Carlsbad". We also object to your comment that the parking is adequate. Parking used to be adequate. If you come to the shopping center in question around 9-10 am, parking is full. I have been getting comments from employees and customers. Carlsbad Blvd is full because of all the on the street parking now occurring because of the Starbucks situation in the Village Shopping Center across the street. Grand Ave. west of Carlsbad Blvd is now fiill because employees from the Village Shopping center park there. You need to Millennium Arts 2903 Carlsbad Blvd. Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-4861 - 760-434-4784 (Fax) - www.nm-arts.com Millennium Arts reassess your thinking about parking in this area. Study the situation. It's a problem, the businesses know it, but your office does not. The intended action to put another conmiercial services store is contrary to the needs of Carlsbad. You are changing the intended advertised purpose of the land use and isolating our business which is in dire need of commercial retail activities to stimulate foot traffic on that area of Carlsbad Blvd., and you v^U be making paridng problems worse and on a similar path to the fiasco on State Street in the Village. I urge you to reconsider.
