Lowe does not object to the intuitive angel readings, providing she goes through the Fortune telling Licensing process with me. She is required to have a background check and pay $150.00. She has to renew the license every year and a cost of $50.00. No surety bond is required unless her license is revoked by the Chief of Police and then reinstated. Please let me know if Planning grants this change to the use of the existing business and I will contact her to initiate the fortunetelling licensing process. Thank You!

(760)720-2037 FroM: Property Manager of 525^531 Carlsbad Village Dr., Carlsbad Re: CASE No. RP ^-Sl , MIND, BODY and SOUL c/o Laura Robbins, Case Administrator Dear Laura; I received, by mail from our Secretary/Bookkeeper, only yesterday the Notice regarding the above-referenced Case and the considera- tion of the Redevelopment Agency's intend to allow said use, into Suite 100 at 539 Carlsbad Village Dr., Carlsbad, CA, Aside from my concern, as the Property Manager representing the Owner-Partners, I had to contact our 5 Tenants by telephone and discovered that some of our Tenants were not in favor of such a Business to be allowed (not because it is adjacent to our Proper- ty) along Carlsbad Village Dr., specifically into a Unit that's fronting directly on Carlsbad Village Dr. As a Representative of the Property Owner-Partnership and our Te- nants, I am surprised that the Redevelopment Agency Department of the City of Carlsbad would even consider allowing such a Business in a Unit directly fronting on Carlsbad Village Dr.; which is sup- posed to be primarily dsignated for Commercial Retail-type Uses along the frontage of Carlsbad Village Dr, Representing our Owners and Tenants, collectively, I strongly urge the Redevelopment Agency to reject and not allow such a use as a "FORTUNETELLER" on Carlsbad village Dr. In fact, I believe that the Redevelopment Agency should have, at the onset, rejected even the submittal of an Application for such a use and eliminated the need for responses from Property Owners and Tenants! So, please reject and deny saidl Application in view of my presen- tation hereinabove. Your consideration and compliance to this re- quest would be greatly appreciated by the Owners and Tenants of 525-531 Carlsbad Village Dr. Very sincerely. Harry Guzelxmian part-Owner and Manager of subject Property P.S.: Even though this letter is arriving after 5:00PM, it is a valid submittal, because I called this morning, 11:20AM and talked with "AUSTIN" and expressed the same concerns. He ad- vised me to put it into writing and submit it for the Case File! FAXed on 10/16/08 to FAX no, (760)720-2037 @ 5:15PM City of Carlsbad Housing & Redevelopment Department October 20. 2008 HARRY GUZELIMIAN PROPERTY OWNER AND MANAGER FAX: 858-259-9232 Subject Mind, Body, and Soul, Administrative Redevelopment Permit RP 08-51 Dear Mr. Guzelimian: This letter serves as a follow-up to the Notice of Intended Action you received in the mail for Mind, Body, and Soul at 539 Carlsbad Village Drive, Suite 100 (APN 203-237-01). The existing business is an approved office use. The applicant has applied for an Administrative Redevelopment Permit to add Angel Readings, which are considered "fortunetelling" as per Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 5.50.010(c), to the existing office use. The majority of the applicant's business revenue will come from life coaching and counseling, with angel readings only being a small part of their business. This location was an office use prior to the applicant's business. Therefore, the applicant is permitted to operate an office use in this location that fronts on Carlsbad Village Drive. The Housing and Redevelopment Director has reviewed the proposed project and determined that it meets all applicable requirements and is consistent with the Village Master Plan and Design Manual. Please contact my office at (760) 434-2810, ext 5017, if you have any questions.
