staff. corpus christi close. i think it is 1,000 feet. there could be another school in the future because ofç facilits there. is that correct? >> i did see an article that mentions they are planning to close, but i cannot confirm that. it is in the vicinity map that çwas provided, but there are no non schools, private or public sector within 1,000 feet radius of the location. >> as far as i know, a corpus christi is closed, so i want to make sure it is taken into consideration. since it is out of 1,000 feet, it is not going to be a factor in the way. >> it is interesting because medical marijuana dispensaries are not a conditional use, so they do not have to meet the

desirable threshold. because of our local laws, there are few places where you can cite itsç, so the threshold is unfortunate. unfortunately, everywhere you want to cite one, we get the same concerns, which is not exceptional or extraordinary. i know it is difficult because people have a lot of fear about medical marijuana contributing to the neighborhood around them. i have five within three blocks of where i live, so i am in the heart of medical marijuana dispensaries, and it is interesting because some you would notç know about was what they did. you do not even know they are there. çsome liquor stores look like liquor stores. some do not. i think when you have a variety

of any sort of use, there are some that are beautiful and çwonderful, and there are othes that are not. what i want to assure people is i do not haveçói] any i do not t to walkçç by, and i do not hae anywhere there is sufficient activity, and it is interesting because they were approved at differentç times where we must have had different ways. some places are really opened, and they look really nice. some have a door. there is someone standing outside, and they feel restrictive. luckily, we have come a long way in understanding these facilities and making sure they are welcome to the neighborhood. q%r

not made any distinctionç betwn medical marijuana dispensaries or other purposes, primarily because we have set the regulation in such a way that it encourages saturation, so i would highly recommend they issue you have you take it to the board of supervisors and revisit the guidelines. in a dead city like san francisco, meeting the threshold of 1,000 feet of having no facilities -- in a city like san francisco, meeting the threshold of 1,000 feet with no facility would be difficult. people have the same problems with antennas, where it is the same issue, and there is a law

that limits the places we can place those antennas, but i want to assure people i do not ever feel unsafe. they are obviously serving a purpose for people who need to that purpose. i do not see people queuing on the sidewalk. the problem is, whether it is a have operated respectfully, and not everybody is happy to hear çthat, but i want to reassure people in really is about providing access and the way the guidelines are written for seven francisco. this is the way we have to do it. various not anything extraordinary today, and i recognize this seems who -- there is not anything

extraordinary today, but this is the way it is written. >> this commission house to determine whether or not this application creates an extraordinary circumstance, and given the rules we are considering, the 1,000 foot radius and education facilities not being within that radius, and it does not include kindergarten or day care. there is nothing extraordinary about what we are hearing. i am comfortable with the framework, and with a personal testimony living near five dispensarigsq support, a given asset -- given that what happens is a byproduct, i would suggest the

would like toç reflect on mr. reed having been in front of this commission three or four or five turns, and he has been taken through the wringer several times before. he has been in difficult situations, but he also was taken on for a number of other issuesçó, but now he always, given the large support he had by patience oft( on race, creed, -- age, creed, or color, he had people speak for him personally, because it is really the ultimateç priority of the individual to conduct himself to make a difference for what the outcome is, and i only put a very positive things about him running, and the delivery and

then theç pickup, no consumptin on site, etc., so i personally cannot see anything by which i would not support this application,t( and]i i want toi appreciate people speaking about their concerns. i appreciate people speaking about their fears, but i feel comfortable extending support to thisç vico's it meets all of te applicable standards and -- to this because it meets all the applicable standards, including the new ones for ada compliant access, and it has a safeguard with the planning department and other voices in the community. >> the motion? >> that is the motion.

that is the report in but not anythingç regarding the camera. but is not within our purview. >> i have a couple of thoughts. i want to thank everyone who çshowed up tonight. i say it is difficult for mono legal folks -- lingual folks to testify, so i appreciate that. that leads me to talk about being a good neighbor, and there is a lot of testimony for how mr. reed has beenç a good neighbor. i would encourage you thinking about who the community is, and i want to echo the thought about how the dispensary does

meet all done planning codesç, but also there is a place that needs to consider clusteringç. it may be the way that the city regulates five soon. -- fast food. to think about howç to cluster and thinking about how close locations are to one another. comissioner sugaya: mr. reed and i go back even further. he was with us of the board of appeals fairly early on, so we have been dealing with this for çóquite awhile.

w3commissioner moore said this better than i did. i am fully supportive of the motion. if we turn to supervisor avalos 's letter, he is suggesting adequate lighting. i assume that is in the conditions. if not, we can write it. >> there are currently no proposed conditions before you, but we can certainly add that if the commission chooses to approve it. the action should be that we are taking dr to approve this condition. >> president miguel already read

this, but let me repeat, adequate and appropriate lighting, contribution to safety and security of the block. that is generic, but i think this means cameras and mr. reed being proactive. çthe aesthetic appeal by adding greenery and maintaining painted facades carmine -- painted facades, there is one tree in the front. can we add another one? >> as long as the public works department approves it, i am sure that candy -- that can be arranged. >> i am citing some things. i will need them to add conditions, but maybe we can make that a condition in its public works and does not feel it is appropriate, then we

okcannot do it. >> i believe the lighting in the first two conditions, the lighting and increased safety are part of the security plan that has been submitted. the commission wishes staff to work from them, we can do that. >> are you suggesting no on-site smoking and? that has already been taken care of. employç local residents, work closely with neighbors to address concerns, and i think that follows up on commissioner wu or commissioner borden suggesting of liaison being named with a phone number they can get ahold of, what ever

output they feel would be appropriate that can be discussed with the supervisor, and the neighborhood organization, including the dr requester is organizations. those are amendments. >> a second on the motion. the amendment? >> you have heard me before. i am step because the law does not allow what i would like to see -- i am stock, because the law does not allow what i would like to see, and thatok is havig prescription drugs dispensed by pharmacists. there is nothing i can do about

that. i feel strongly about that matter, but i am constrained by the codes we work with. if you try andw3 draw circles o( 1,000 feet and take out neighborhood commercial districts with good transportation, youç find yourself very constrained, and i understand that also. çi understand, but there have been comments about saturation and clustering, but that is forced upon us by about 1000- foot radius and the restrictions within its, so there is nothing we can do about it. we have to work on the code, and there is nothing in this application that would allow me to oppose it.

comissioner antonini:ç i have a question for officer mccarthy. you hear the nature of the motion that is being proposlt/ as but seemed to capture what you were talking about in your recommendation -- does that seem to capture what you were talking about in your recommendations? >> i was not asking for a live feed to the video surveillance. i was just requestingç that a video surveillance system would be looked at by our department experts to insure it was adequate, but it would provitu evidence, if there was a crime, maybe within the dispensary itself, so i was not requesting a live feed of people coming and going, but hours of operation. >> i know how valuable that is

with robberies that have occurred. they were able to bring up the tapes, and they could get a çlicense plate. are there any mcds/+ in daly cy that you are aware of it? >> no, sir. >> in san mateo county? >> i could not speakç for that. >> thank you. my concernçym is the state las similar inç all counties,q would not want to have an extraordinary amount of dispensaries in sentences7s go, and that is what we should see how thingsç are being -- in san and sister, and we should see how things are handled differe jurisdictions. -- in san francisco, and we should see how things are handled differently in different jurisdictions. if there is a need, it shouldçe

shared equally. ç>> there are jurisdictions cao not allow it, so it can be done on all local level. i]comissionerç moore: the only thing i would like to add is that staff should really help, that the appearanceçt(ç of the public isç friendly, that it hs to look atç more than a bail bd corner of pawn shopçó -- nailed bond ora pawnshop. supervisor avalos talks about some of them, but the staff should encourage that the external appearance relay fits within the commercial neighborhood districtmy. %qcomissioner sugaya: is our

understanding that we have incorporated what he said into the motion? what is the proper term and? ç>> it would be looked at and approved by our department experts, which are the video forensic units of bohol of justice. >> it is only that they would work with green cross to make sure the system meets certain standards. >> to insure it was adequate, to çprovide evidentiary services f there was a robbery or a burglary, not anything to monitor who is coming and going. it wo]lw only be in for a crime was committed. >> are we ok with that? >> i misunderstood what he said. we have noç problem with that.

çif you want aç condition, ths also a. >> thank you. ñrwe mentioned security, but if this could be incorporated. comissioner moore:ç that concen should be raised to a level of general standard and not just be applied to this one. ç sr concerns, like our latest -- when it came to issues of other çconcerns, like our latest condition of cell phones. i think you will agree it should be a general condition to apply to everybody. >> in the past we have put a condition on medical marijuana dispensaries to cooperateç and have their security checked by the local station. we have done thatkoç in the pa. >> but it becomes a general

condition a. >>ç commissioners, the motion n the floorç as iççó understands said you are approving this project and addingç conditions that were outlined, basically condition one and two, but you çare adding contributions to te esthetic details by adding greenery and maintaining habra fet freeç facades -- graffiti- free vote saugus -- facades and that the security system be reviewed by the police department. with those conditions, commissioner antoniniçç was there also a condition for requiring a community liaison?

>> i am sorry. ççand a community liaison. >>si think you will recall maybe seven months ago we actually filed a dr on the massage parlor that is half a block away, and you name our association as a liaison. i want to make something really clear. green cross did not come to any of our associationçósmeetings, o they did not reach out to us. i think it would be appropriate if we could communicate directly. it works really well if he comes to the meetings. he has beenç great, so i would suggest if and we could do that, i think we could live with that. çó>> mostly you have your partner's chosenç rather than

dictate it. i would encourageçñr that you h out to them,ç but i do not want q=u automatically the guardian of that relationship. if it falls out, you can, but i am not going to require that. like>> i would add a they have bilingual or try will involve -- or trilingual capacity. >> i agree. i would be supportive of working with the neighborhood group if possible because there is such a historyç there, but i do not think we can make that a condition. >> if we can go back to the motion. i]i am assuming we are adding tt

you are requiring as a condition a community liaison and you are not naming anyone and that is possible, -- is b.possibleççó liaison -- ifçe liaison includes bilingual. [calling vote sines] thank you, commissioners. that motion passed unanimously. commissioners, you are on item 12a and b. 12a is 45258 mission street and for 12 bq% is for us and 5234

mission streetç, and if we can ask you to leave the room quietly, because we are still in session. >> good evening, members of the commission, planning department staff. before you is the request for a discussion review of a building permit toç establish a medical cannabis dispensary, of doing business on mission street and another request to build an application to establish a medical cannabis dispensary, doing business atç 5258 mission street. the projects are two or three blocks away from each other and are located within a neighborhood commercial district fed runs along mission street between -- the drugs along mission street betweenw3 niagara

and vernon avenue along mission street between niagara and vernon ave. goomission street would occupy a vacant ground-floor commercial unit containing approximately 5200 sq. ft. net with the proposed hours of operations monday through sunday. it would also occupy a vacant ground-floor unit with proposed hours of operations between 9:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. monday through sunday. both would sell canada's food stuff, and it would not allow on-site smoking or growing of cannabis on site,5aç and both would -- would sell cannabis foodstuff, and it would not allow on-site smoking or growing

of cannabis on site. it would meet consideration evaluating medical dispensaries. it does not placeç restrictions on the distances, and the department has received a total of eight letters of opposition and one letter of supporti] to both progress sincew3 -- both projects. goodi]ç309 signatures in suppf nation organics of 5258 mission street, and today's staff has received an updated security plan, which i own copiesht of, submitted by the project sponsor.

i additional files whereok agait both projects by the resident association, oppose ovid game within 1,000 feet of child care facilities and adults centers and nursing homes, and they are concerned it would bring criminalç activity to the 5000 through 5300 block of mission street. inxd response to the concerns tt itç would bringç criminal acty to the area, both project sponsors have indicated it would have security and installed security cameras to ensure safety. concerning the number of child and adult day care centers, it excludes day care centers and other primary or secondary

educational institutions triggered if they are prohibited from being located within 1000 -- educational institutions. they are prohibited from being located within 1,000 feet. the department does acknowledge this is an unusual situationç w3having to within close proximity. however, the department recommends the commission approves both projects as proposed, because both project meets the criteria, and in addition, both projects comply with the standards and requirements of planning code and objectives of the general plan. both sides are well served by public transportation, and both will be renovated to provide a

safe environment. vat w3storefronts within the çneighborhood corridor and woud provide local employment activities. this includes -- this concludes the presentation, and i am available for questions. >> because you are neutral would you like to speak at this time? >> thank you, commissioner. and the police department would respectfully request that working with the applicant we can ensure an adequate security plan as well as video surveillance. we have heard the community is upset with regards to having two on the same block. it is important the police department work with the community because they help us out in so many areas. we want to
