SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Not all businesses are on the sidelines or slowing down in 2020. Despite the demanding situations of COVID-19, several new concepts have come true.
Almost every week, the South Coast has a new original concept in which an association is being established.
Along the way, government agencies have worked for bureaucracy and give applicants an explicit direction for examinations. For help, you can contact The City of Santa Barbara Commercial Assistance.
It was thought that opening a new business in the face of a pandemic was risky, according to its services.
“I knew I had to,” said Dr. Doug Katsev of Santa Barbara Eyecare. “If you have enough courage to do it, do it right. “
Katsev is now in her newly opened status quo on De los angeles Vina Street and Laureles Street. He calls it an ideal angelscent plos where patients in the domain can walk to theirs due to the density of nearby homes.
It’s across the street from your surgery center.
After 30 years at Sansum Medical, he moved to this level of his career and not only occupied a space, bought a complete building, this happened late last year, just before the coronavirus disrupted the economy.
But the plan didn’t derail. With the eye center on site, he added Goleta Valley Optical and helps maintain a tenant architect, the Cruz dance studio and his own hairdresser in Palms.
But to make this dream possible, Katsev made a convincing presentation to the city. “I went to town and said we have a challenge with COVID, and I have postoperative patients and if I can’t do that, I probably wouldn’t. “I have a place to go to see those patients. They’ve been a great help. “
Although some commercial homeowners have been asked to wait until the end of the COVID-19 crisis, health care may be seen as a priority.
However, there is a timetable and obstacles.
In fashionable times, much of the design and paintings of structures have been done in zoom meetings and some physical inspections.
“After following the process, they do the best they can, but you realize that there are so many regulations that [the city staff] have to follow,” Katsev said.
This openness serves a population of developing patients that has many needs, in one area.
“Cataract surgery is on the rise. Just because they’re our people. Baby boomers have cataracts. Populations over forty-five years Old Lasik is not the answer. That’s the goal,” Katsev said, so you must have this device to make sure you have the right goal. “
Although some business plans have not been transparent in these stressful times, it has become transparent and meets an important need.
For Katsev, it was a purpose she wasn’t going to reject: “You have to do the right thing in the long run. “
The adjustments were different depending on the dominance of the people from which the candidate came.
In the city centre, requests for extensions and openings are accompanied by immediate approval of parklet and courtyard designs, which has made a difference for owners of places to eat who have lost their seats indoors due to pandemic rules.
Santa Barbara executives said they were working with all corporations to “accelerate” their projects in the areas of design reviews, signage and occupancy permits.
