Central Planning Committe

The Encinitas Central Planning Committee on Urban and Commercial Real EstateCity Council voted to restrict usage of ground floor spaces along 101.  Stocks was the lone nay with Dalager recusing himself.  I have to agree with Mr. Stocks on this one.  This nation has gone way to far in the direction of government regulation and this is one more tiny step.  What will property owners do if no approved business wants to lease their space?  What is the problem with Yoga studios and medical offices?  I love the downtown area, but visited most frequently when my chiropractor was located there.  Peder Norby's comparison to Del Mar is not valid, in my opinion.  Del Mar's stretch of 101 is much smaller and does not extend to parallel streets.  Even a small number of "undesirable" business make a big impact there.  Don't forget the xenophobic attitudes of most Del Marians.
