This is just so ridiculous. Can someone please get their objections straight?
Is it that they say dinosaurs have no place in the Los Rios District or is it that the proper “procedures,” according to this committee, were not followed?
Maybe instead of a dinosaur, Zoomars should be more true to the history of the area and put in a bordello? Give them a break. All they are trying to do at Zoomars is to bring a more educational experience to the kids, and at the same time, bring more dollars into the community. You cannot see it unless you are close to Zoomars. It does not take anything away for the surrounding area. It is also on the very edge of the district and not in the center where it might be objectionable, next to the Ramos House.
Are the people of this city ever going to wake up and realize that this city is going to over-regulate us right into bankruptcy? Continue to over regulate the businesses in this city, and they will continue to leave at an alarming rate and take their tax dollars with them, along with all of the residual business that they bring to this town. I have seen business after business leave this city and have talked with many business owners who would rather open up a new business in Dana Point than here in our city. You cannot keep paying businesses millions of dollars to move into San Juan in hopes of the promise of future tax dollars.
Zoomars is a place for kids, what is more appropriate than a dinosaur? It is not like they are painting their buildings the “wrong color” or putting in a multi-story structure that can be seen from town. It is a statue of a dinosaur. What a big waste of time this issue is, when there are so many more important things to focus on around town these days. Stand strong Zoomars, just know that a majority of the public support you.
