To the South Lake Community Developers and city council,

As engaged members of the South Lake Community, we call for a reassessment of the proposed retail and dining establishments in our neighborhood. Our petition outlines specific changes that would better serve the interests and values of our community:

1. Replace McDonald's with CAVA; alternatively, Sweetgreen is acceptable. We seek establishments that offer fresh, nutritious, and customizable meal options, reflecting our commitment to a healthier lifestyle.

2. Substitute Panda Express with Nando's; Eggspectation would also be a suitable option. A desire for diverse flavors and quality dining experiences is prevalent in our community, and these establishments would satisfy that need.

3. Exchange Giant for Whole Foods Market; Trader Joe's would be a welcome alternative. Our community prioritizes access to a wide variety of organic and specialty food products that these stores provide.

4. Opt for Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant over Ma Pearl's; Busboys and Poets is an acceptable second choice. We appreciate establishments that offer a cultural and sophisticated dining experience.

5. Support the addition of OneLife Fitness; ST. James as a second preference. Prioritizing health and wellness, we advocate for state-of-the-art fitness facilities that cater to our active lifestyles.

6. Replace PJ’s with Starbucks; Rise Up is a respected alternative. Our community values unique coffee experiences and would welcome the distinctive offerings these brands represent.

7. Exchange Residence Inn by Marriott for Aloft; Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants can also be considered. High-quality accommodation options are important for our visiting guests and business travelers.

8. For the currently empty units, we would like to see the following establishments:

Bonefish Grill, Yard House, Topgolf, Seoul Spice, Equinox, &pizza, JINYA Ramen Bar, Fogo de Chão, BurgerFi

This petition reflects our collective vision for the South Lake Community, aiming for a vibrant, health-conscious, and diverse commercial environment. We trust that our preferences will be given serious consideration in the planning process.

Sincerely,

The South Lake Community Members

Would like more diversity in the community. Some Hispanic food like a Mexican restaurant would be nice. Taco Bell is not Mexican!

We need stay local. We shouldn't go far out to get better service or better resturants. We stay within our community

It is tiring to have drive to Annapolis to shop at Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.

I would add that I prefer the PJs coffee and trader Joe's over Starbucks and whole foods.
