Re: City Ordinance Ko. 9060, Article 14, Section 1400, ff2-h
Dear Sirs:
,,e, the undersigned, hereby request that the above mentioned
ordinance, article, section, number and classification be
amended to. allow a privately owned ana operated Recreational
Vehicle park to be built ana to function here in the City of
Carlsbad. V,e would like to define a Recreational Vehicle
park,' informally, as a "do-it-yourself" motel for the use of
those tourists who prefer to provide their own over ni^ht
accommodations, be they travel trailer, pick-up camper,
motor home or tent.
Granted this amendment, we propose to establish in Carlsbad
an attractive, park-li^:e area to accommodate such tourists
in rustic luxury. Cur park is to be constructed unier the
auspices of .Campgrounds of America, Inc., and will be subject
to the hi0h standards of safety ana operation demanded by
this nation-wide franchise chain. \\e fully intend to be an
asset ~o the community in every way, with emphasis on the
visual aspect.
For further information on the nature of the facility which
we propose, may we refer you to the enclosed literature, and
assure you that v.e shall be most happy to answer personally
any further inquiries you may wish to make. '<,e would also
respectfully request that you schedule this matter to come
before your body at your earliest convenience.
Very truly yours,
