RE: The Oaks Shopping Center
Amendment to the Use Permit
Dear Sir/Madam:
Please accept this letter as our formal request to modify the Use Permit for the Oaks Shopping Center.
We would like to revitalize the center by turning it into a Cultural & Entertainment Center, which can
only be done by modifying the permit and eliminating provision #3 that prohibits dancing,
entertainment & live music. Our future plans for the Oaks are to have it become a Cultural &
Entertainment hub for the City. The new uses will be confined to the building interiors because we are
dedicated to retaining the good relationship we have with the residents in the neighborhood. The
distance between our closest buildings to the Glenbrook Apartments is 300 R, which shall mitigate
any disturbance (see attached map). Although any entertainment uses shall be kept indoors we would
like to be able to hold activities outside like light musical ensembles and cultural/art events. We would
also be interested in holding events in conjunction with City Events planned at Memorial Park. We
believe that with these changes the center will become livelier with the increased occupancy.
Sincerely,
W�011V
Shawn Taheri
