DISCUSSION
In 2008 when the Eastlake Design Center was developed, Girard Place was changed to Showroom Place to reflect the tenant mix. At that time, the Eastlake Design Center was anchored by large furniture stores: Ashley Furniture, Basset, Lane Furniture, Caldera Spas, Patio Source and other similar type furniture stores.
In the 2000’s when the recession hit and the demand for home furnishing plummeted, Mike Vogt worked with the City to rezone the Eastlake Design Center to accommodate a different tenant mix. The Applicant changed the name from Eastlake Design Center to the District at Eastlake (the “District”). Since then, the tenant mix reflects family entertainment. Current tenants of the District at Eastlake are Speed Circuit, Play City, Skyzone, local resta urants, workout facilities and entertainment venues. A Marriot branded hotel is breaking ground across the street from the District.
As part of the Applicant’s request for this street name change, they provided a summary of the current tenants and busi ness owners who support the requested street name change from Showroom Place to District Place, reflected in Attachment 2. Attachment 3 provides a map of the parcels located on Showroom Place along with a listing of the current tenants and business owners currently addressed on Showroom Place.
