great ark thin team to the pool. he will walk you through the project in detail. >> thanks for hosting us today. i am thomas. i am from the offices in new york and copenhagen. we have been working on this project for about six years. when we first came to the site we were intrigued by the creamery and the activities that happened on the site, and we felt that the best amenity for the residents would be a public amenity to really ground it in the neighborhood. here you can see it on the greater map. we have market street that

divides two neighborhoods the soma and down tour core. you can see the blocks are the distance between the streets are twice as much as downtown. where our building is sitting in the downtown grid, it will take half a block. >> your time is up. we may ask you up here for questions, though. >> of course. . >> you may have two more minutes. >> within the block are the alleyways that have a lot of activities already. there is a lot of street art, all of the residents and uses of the neighborhood are using it for food festivals and sort of other great things. the side here is zoned to have a podium that can basically take the entire footprint of the site

and have twotal ons on top. we want two buildings with footprints similar to the buildings around and have pedestrians to walk in the central space in the middle. we have the four buildings to create density for housing. we do the setbacks and merge the two conditions of the ground and the tower and the aggregate, the setting back floor by floor is creating a different scale at ground level than at the top. it is mainly a rental housing with a hotel and offices in the back that is accessed by people walking through the site. we have a number of

sustainability things that we are doing, both social and community level, but also have reused the grey water and tried to reduce the energy consumption as much as possible. this is an urban space where people can go from the caltrain, from the neutral stop, and for the alleyways behind. we have a single curb cut to take care of the traffic and putting the loading and parking on the ground as soon as possible. we have retail storefronts throughout the site. >> thank you, sir. >> we are now going to open up to public comment. anyone from the public wish to comment on this item? public comment anybody?

okay. >> same comment. please have it back in the report. it won't get in the report unless you ask for it, please. i want to read a little bit from the business times. april 17th, 2019. real estate and other investors are behind a funding round for a san francisco lodging startup. lyric rents out and releases new apartments to the modern traveler. it strikes multi-year leases with apartment owners in major cities, redesigns interiors around suites and rents out the units from one night to more

than 200 nights such as air bnb and various other things. are we creating housing or are we creating short-term rentals? that should be explicitly in the staff report. the 38 room hotel is weird, but when you add that to a broader context of we don't usually have 38 room hotels approved. i have been through enough hotel approvals to say that. what is the intention of this housing? istish man on both sides? are they going to draw a big line in the sand and not rent out the apartments? one, get some sea level rise

information. two, get some information on what guarantees are they for real housing in the city as opposed to quasi hotel room end runs for those who want to live in my apartments from one night to a couple weeks? third, i would ask you to really consider what the hell is going on right now in the south of market. it is a fourth point, i think. i think there is one approval for this building because of the nature of the building, the nature of the building you have presentation which was just up here for a second. a swooping building. it doesn't make any sense to approve one building out of this

whole menu of buildings. it is a suite of buildings. are you being asked to approve the entiren entire design whatee date is this is coming back in. >> thank you. any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioners. commissioner hillis. >> commissioner hillis: thank you for the presentation. i appreciate the design. i think it is a great looking project. the site is an important one where it is. i think the buildings are beautiful and how they are scaled and designed. i paid attention to the ground floors and how it leads into the central park, i think is just well designed and a good feature

in that location. a question to the project sponsor. on the 38 room hotel that is small. how is that operated? we have seen smaller hotels. >> one of the things is the way we buy things changed dramatically in the last 10 years. i could sit here in my three minutes and book a hotel room at the podium. >> i dare you. >> it is possible to run a much smaller hotel than it was historically. many apartment projects and contcontomatthew mcconaugheand e want this to be a community and have amenities. we want it to be very active. making that co-working space and the amenitieses of the project

open to the public on a membership basis gives us the best ability to create a great suite of am memberties and make sure they are active. we are confident given the way technology evolved we can run under the support of management of the overall project we can run a 38 room hotel, which is really designed to help and support the residents there with the guests and what not. we can run that profitablebly. >> that makes total sense. thank you. >> i want to say i really appreciate the way that this relates to itself. from a distance and up close. i really like we are adding to the skyline with more out of the box thinking with projects like this and 160 fulsome really adding to the city skyline. >> commissioner richards.

>> commissioner richards: can you finish the presentation? when i looked at the building it looks like the holiday inn on kearney street. it became more interesting. could you give three minutes more to walk through the rest of the presentation. >> i am not sure how to get it on your screen. >> it will come up in a minute. >> this is where we left off. these are the alleyways leading into the central square, the alleyway from town send and fourth street. this is a view across from the caltrain station and when we started to look at the skin of the building, we wanted to not do a glass building, a building residential but things that fit into the skyline of san

francisco which is different from a lot of other cities because it has more heavy looking building with punch windows. it is a precast stone or metal. we wanted to refer back to the warehouse district of central soma with a clear distinction of the structure and big window openings and masonry and stone work and some of the other materials we find so it really feels like an extension of the district and the sky. we want to work with depth so the line is back from the out of the face of the opaque material. we want to work with the hue and the color. it feels like four buildings into two main volumes.

there is a lot of open space on the ground and private terraces on the lower apartments. some of the shared amenity spaces on the top of the lower towers. the ground floor space ties to the other open spaces in the district, both the alleyways and the parks. we have in here the walk through that the plan department has done the neighborhood walk which will pass right by our site. you will see how there is lane ways that the project can tie into. the open space is not just urban oasis in the middle but constitutes the alleyways, gateways, there is a park facing fourth street and there is where we want to make sort of diverse face that can take a lot of

different activities from the local pop ups, music festivals, retail spilling out to have local art fairs and art will be a big part of the project where we have both open spaces that can take sculptures but also have wall spaces and s frescoes. one of the entries into the project, the sort of community park that is right on to fourth street and the tram stop. this will be planned in a way that is flexible. it can have activities and markets and so on, and when you pass that square, you get into the gateway and into the main space in the middle where all of the residents will come through to get to the lobbies.

retail can spill out. we plan to design, also, the storefronts to have a lot of variety and be quite operable so the distinction of the public interior and exterior is blended more as you walk through the space. this is the alleyway from townsend at the corner leading to the main square. this is the extent of our explanation of the project today. >> thank you very much for finishing. quick question for the director on the short term rental. it is years ago since we heard this. the ordinance may have been amended. if they were to rent as short term rentals is this for sale or rent be? >> this is for rent.

i will say this project is totally independent of the small investment that was made corporately that ms. hester referred to. our intent in san francisco is to abide to the letter and spirit of the law, and we would expect this to run as a normal rental project with the exception of the 38 hotel rooms which are explicitly called out. >> if i could clarify. this is subject to the same rules as any other building. the only person who can register for short term rentals is the permanent resident of the unit. >> thank you. it is a great project. >> next item. >> just for the benefit of the public in case anyone is here for item 15 at 225 vazquez or

item 18 those are continued. 2019-18,609th avenue conditional use authorization. >> just a second, sir. >> good afternoon. jeff warn planning department staff. presenting conditional use authority 1862 ninth avenue. this is a request for conditional use for the tantamount to demolition of a two-story home to commit 7,000 gross four-foot stamly dwelling within the residential house two

family district. the project site is located east site of ninth avenue within the inner sunset neighborhood. within the immediate area there is residential two to three story single and two family dwellings. there is a great variety of styles. the subject lot is half lot wider than the typical lot 37.5 feet and lot depth of 120 feet for total of 4500 square feet. site slopes down towards the rear developed with a vacant 222 gross square foot two family dwelling. it has a site set back of 3-foot 8-inch on the north. the proposal is the demolition of the two family dwelling and conduct a horizontal and

vertical condition to conduct a three family dwelling with a dwelling unit. 1072 two bedroom unit on the first store. 1150 bedroom unit on the second floor. the proposed structure enlarges 90 square foot -- 950 square foot. known common access to the rear. two bedroom units and the second of 1835 square feet. a 948 square foot two bedroom unit on the fourth floor. fourth floor provides 15-foot set back at the front and 10 back at the rear wall. height at the front is 30. total height 40 feet. 62 feet depth with 12 feet poppit on the first floor.

it retains north side wall set back 3 feet 8 inches. this was continued from the march 21st planning commission hearing without being heard. during that period the product sponsor noticed a three building unit. the project has been replaced to replaced storage with accessory dwelling at ground floor. it proposed to remove vertical and horizontal elements. therefore, the project is requesting conditional use authorization from the commission pursuant to 317 to allow demo listing of residential unit. because of the age and the multi family nature it is assumed rent controlled. by not fully demolishing the rent control should remain. it is in rh-2 zoning.

two units per lot and permits one for every 1500 square feet of lot area. because of the subject lot is 4500 square feet it is requesting conditional use authorization to allow three units on the 4500 square foot lot. it proposed a dwelling unit at ground floor per a.d.u. waiver under 207 c 4. it will require administrative swear waiver. i have received five comment letters with concern on the height of the project and impact to light and air. it was presented to sunset heights association of responsible people, a neighborhood group on march 19th before the initial hearing. since the notice of this hearing additional letter was received

from janette fewer supplementing the original comments which i am putting in the record. staff recommends approval and replacing the building will pro correct a structure combat i believe with the design of the existing block space. this concludes staff presentation. >> is there a project sponsor? >> i am the project sponsor. this is more detail. when we first presented it, it was a two unit building because that was what we were thinking we were allowed. planning staff advised that we could request conditional use to increase density to three. i presented that to ownership and they were fine with that. towards the very end we were advised we can add a.d.u. at this point because of new codes

and regulations. i presented that to ownership, and they were perfectly fine with that. ownership will reside in one united and other three for rental. if you have any other questions or concerns, let me know and i can answer any questions you might have about the project. >> thank you very much. we will take public comment on the project. i don't have speaker cards. if you want to comment, please do so now. public comment is closed. >> i am glad reconsidered to adding units. the only question is for the commission to look at drawing 2.2 and look at the obscured entry to the a.d.u. the a.d.u. is only accessible by way of going through an entry

court, going bicycles bicycle spaces, washer, and secondary entrance to the trade corridor between this property and the next one and entering some obscure nondesignated space. we like a.d.u.s to be seen from the street side. i am wondering if there is any way to modify that. we do not like the indirect nature of the a.d.u. having nonrecognizable entrance with respect to the rest of the building. >> thank you, commissioner. commissioner fong. >> question for staff. four story buildings in the inner sunset and in the richmond usually generate some discussion. was any effort made to show the context around this area in

terms of four story buildings? >> the context of the existing mapping of the block face was definitely a consideration when the design team reviewed the project. one of our commonly used approaches to make the building if it is taller to be more compatible with the existing structures in the neighborhood to provide set backs on the fourth floor or upper floor. this project provides 15-foot set back. anyone close to the project it reads more as three story. at further distance you will see the fourth floor. the building to the right, that would be the south of this project is a larger building, one of the larger ones on the block face and provides transition to add that corner as it gets taller, those buildings. there was consideration.

the residential design but the team found the building compatible with the neighborhood. >> commissioner richards. >> commissioner richards: quest. i see what you see on a2.2 and the strangeness of the entryway. it looks like illegal unit. how it is buried in the back. how do you recommend it is reconfigured so it reads as a unit and not have this way to get into it. >> i am asking staff whether or not they brought that question to the applicant. there is a designing architect engineer here. this should be flagged by staff in the discussion in reviewing the project. that is a question we raise again and again. in addition to that given the height of the building we need to look for a fire stair, the fire department will require roof access. we could see where that is

located. it will make an effect on the appearance of the building as we see it. mr. warren do you have any comment on the entry situation there? >> i agree there could have been more consideration to the entry of the building. this is a new change to us. our intent was to get this a.d.u. in the structure. i think the sponsor is available to discuss design approaches that he thinks could work for the project. >> one possibility looking at the diagram to put the entry into the new garage the pedestrian entry further to the west to bring the bicycles somewhere in the general garage area. i do not have that to see how it works. put the washer and drier

someplace else and potentially bring the a.d.u. further toward the front of the building, perhaps in line with where the stair goes up toward the main unit. that is one possibility. to have a bicycle in the garage you have to havetic spacing how the cars it is in the garage. that is one sketch by which that could be achieved. >> did you want to say something? >> elizabeth junk here on behalf of the team leader. the commission could condition if you are inclined to improve the condition we would work to make it more visible from the street as part of the conditions of approval. >> i think it can be done without disturbing the setup of the building.

>> commissioner richards. >> commissioner richards: i move to approve with the condition the staff work with project sponsor to make the entry look more like an entree way. >> the entry looks like an entryway? making that a.d.u. more legible. there is a lobby. if you bring the living room up you will lose light. you know, i get it. i think we want to strengthen the entry from the a.d.u. the front is entry to a lobby. >> nothing further commissioners there is a motion and second to approve the project with conditions as amended to include the staff to continue to working with the sponsor to strengthen the a.d.u. entry.

(roll call). so moved. that motion passes unanimously 7-0. that will place us on item 16 for 2019-000186 c.u.a. for 828 inness avenue, conditional use authorization. >> good afternoon, michael christian son department staff. this is a request for conditional use to establish a cannabis retail use within an existing four story mixed use building containing nine dwelling units and three commercial units within the nc2 zoning district. it is located on the inness avenue that undeveloped but is experiencing major development including indian basin

development which surrounding the project site. the hunters point housing is above the site and they are down the avenue from the project. the project sponsor is from the office of cannabis proposing to occupy the unit that suffer offed from vacancy and under utilization since construction. staff identified no uses within 600 feet of the site. they are requesting authorization for consumption at the project site. planning commission has authority to approve or deny consumption through condition of approval. the project sponsor may ask for three consumptions. one edibles pro paired off-site, one products prepared off-site

with limited on site. third allows both as well as on site smoking. currently the plans do not show that consumption lounge because it needs to be by a mechanical engineer and reviewed by the department of health. it was to be reviewed on may 2 and. they recommended continuing to this date. after the date they had an outreach meeting to meet with individuals who reached a priored schedule event. staff directed the applicant to work with the hoa to resolve property insurance and potential conflict with the building ccr. that was may 12th -- that was may 16th. i apologize. prior to may 12 department received a letter opposition from hoa. project sponsor can clarify

action on the issue of property insurance. while the property's existing carrier may not cover the site with proposed use staff is not aware to block of property insurance. as to ccnr. city is not charged with enforcement of private agreements. staff will note the specific c ccnr referenced restricting use as cannabis retailer was added recently. the document was recorded on april 24, 2019 as document k659783. less than a month ago and after the sponsor signed the lease. the document is filed down stairs at the recorder's office and i have copies for the commission. as the project complies with the planning code and policies and meets the 600-foot rule staff

recommends approval of the project. thank you. >> thank you. do we have a project sponsor? >> good afternoon, commissione commissioners. first time we had our continuance, i was upset. i knew what was going to happen before we got here. i worked diligently with my team to make sure we did everything we were supposed to do. the importance of this is not only because of the hard work i have done and not being able to get here and we all know how much money and how many people are fighting for this. for me to do this alone, when you grant me this, i will be making history today. as the first african-american

woman to be a silver partner of the dispensary and the second in the united states. this is important to me. i worked so hard. i just can't believe i got this far to be sitting in front of you guys. any business is hard, but especially in san francisco, and being a woman in business is hard. for me to stand here and be a single mom coming from where i came from, i am proud of myself. that is it. >> thank you. we will now have public comment on this item. anyone interested in providing public comment, please come on up now. i have several speaker cards. kristine, steve lee, charles corey, pauley harold, max and paul lee. come on up.

>> good afternoon, commissioners, i am steve lee, president of hoa. i am here to state eight out of nine owners of the building are in strong opposition for the following reasons. this will be in strict violation of our ccnr. no activity which causes any insurance policy to be cancelled or not renewed. no person may sell distribute to tobacco other main. we have been confirmed they would cancel our master building insurance if the dispensary opens in our building. they have been claiming they found an admitted insurance to work with our building, but that was not true. we talked with their insurance

agents a couple days ago. she had no idea what we were talking about. she was scrambling to get insurance for their business which had nothing to do with master insurance. we are left with sub par assurances we have never heard of and are not protected by the states. a dispensary is specifically restricted by the last sentence stating marijuana may not be sold or distributed from the property. second reason is that the project would violate the san francisco police code and does not meet mandatory requirements set up by the city. the police code requires the applicant to provide written verification the owner of the real property where the cannabis business wil will below indicatd consents. the owner does not have the

authority to consent over a matter that violates the declaration she is bound by. only the hoa has such authority through a majority of votes or amendment of the ccnr. it requiring the owner to be responsible to providing a copy of lease showing it complies to declaration. the owner refused to do that after multiple requests. for us it seeming to be clear it will violate a declaration of the building and police code which is why we hope you deny permit. we believe iter would benefit by saving them time and money on lawsuits that could have been avoided. thank you. >> you are representing the hoa?

>> yes, i am the president. >> a few questions at the end. we will have questions for you. stick around. next speaker, please. >> i am pauline how well. i am an owner in unit 107. we did have a meeting on 4/6. we had questions about the fact that we have multiple entrances at 828 inniss. at that time she was in denial. i had taken time-out to look at other marijuana dispensaries. they have single entrances. we have the lower level and gram that makes -- garage that makes us vulnerable. on the 23rd she was aware and

admitted she noticed we had more entrances. we let her know that. we also let her know there was children that would be living above her, one of the owners has a daughter that is roughly 18 months to two years old. that would be a problem mainly because we have had issues in the past with people who are extraordinarily heavy marijuana smokers. you wake up in the middle of the night trying to figure out the smell and it usually was marijuana. we do not want something that is going to be a smoking den for marijuana people. as well as it makes no sense to have a lounge where people it is and eat gummi bears and put on balms and salve. it has gone back from smoking, no smoking, open these hours.

we are willing to work with you certain hours. there is no real communication with the hoa except for this one meeting that we had on the 25th. shshe has been communicating wih itna which has nothing to do with india cove hoa. it is totally wrong we have had one meeting and she hasn't taken more time-out to include the residents in terms of the owner residents she would encounter every day of her business as well as we have asked her who is going to protect the property when it is closed? she said some random friend of a policeman. that gives me no security somebody is going to randomly look at the building. we have asked for a lot of things we haven't gotten. >> next speaker, please.

>> my name is max. i am the owner of the unit 109 which is right before the proposed business site. i am going to take it back. my key objection, the key question was about the consumption of cannabis on site. from the beginning we were told that is not going to happen. we are finding out otherwise. i am opposing to posh green moving to our building. i didn't think it is the right building to be in. it is a relatively small business with mixed use and my main objection is for the health related reasons. as someone who lives right above her. there are a couple cases of someone consumed cannabis below and i can tell you the smell goes outside through the windows

or through hvac. the building is not suitable. the whole layout is all open, and that smoke will circulate throughout. i also think i am going to kind of take a step back a little bit. as a former cigarette smoker, i can say as a nation we have been very successful at dealing with cigarette smoking and second hand smoking. we are winning the battle. there are casualties dying from lang cancer. i am concerned if we are not careful with cannabis consumption, we are setting a precedent. we won one battle and we are creating a new one for us. she was there to tell me we aree

not going to have cancer from cannabis smoking in that unit. this business is open more than 12 hours a day seven days each week early morning to late night. the exposure to the fumes, lung exposure is going to cause effects. i don't want to stand here later and talk about the adverse health effect it is having on everyone in the unit. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners, i am charles corey owner and hoa board of directors. steve mentioned legal reasons why it should not be permitted. there is common sense we need to take into consideration. when we look at cannabis dispension res there is a high crime rate. at hunters point there is a high crime rate.

then we add this to a building with nine entry and exit points. i as a resident in the building feel vulnerable. there will be criminals to enter to get the money or product. when we look at other dispensaries throughout the state, this is a common problem. there is no retail probably because of high crime rate. when you go one mile down the road there is a walgreens with everything in the store under lock and key. you have to press the button to get toothpaste or shampoo. they now close on the weekends at 5:00 p.m. due to thefts. there is a security guard at the door. theft and retail is a huge concern. no way to stop theft. security guards don't stop it. lock on the door will not stop it. living in the building i do not feel comfortable with the

product and money and cash in the building as a prime target in a neighborhood with a significant amount of violent crime throughout the history of the neighborhood. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> i am paul lee one of the lawyers for the homeowner's association. there is discussion about the amendment recently filed. before the amendment was filed. operating a cannabis dispensary was unlawful under the ccnr8.4 states you cannot have illegal activity at the association. like it or not cannabis is a schedule i drug illegal under the federal law. the controlled substance act. whether there was an amendment or not, the opening, selling or distribution of cannabis would have been a violation of the

ccnr. regarding the insurance, if consumption is allowed, i don't see any insurance company insuring this homeowners association. they may insure the business but definitely not the building. one of the arguments we heard is the recent ccnr amendment is not enforceable. that is incorrect. the california supreme court has said that retroactive enforcement of ccnr provisions are allowed. i can give you the case if you want it. the supreme court already made the decision that it is allowable. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am angel alexander on behalf of posh green. to address the concerns of the

hoa members. >> excuse me. are you part of the project team? >> yes, sorry. >> your presentation was during that five minutes. commissioners may call you up for questions later. >> okay. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> hello. i am lisa shin. i am project sponsor of two cannabis projects in bayview in a similar neighborhood. i have seen the project sponsor at are every outreach meeting. i have seen her engage with the community. i do think that she would be one to work with the community, take feedback, and try to be a positive impact on the neighborhood. you know, we have seen a number of consumption lounges open up downtown. we have dispensaries in the bottom of office buildings. the opportunity to bring a

consumption lounge to pay view is an opportunity. some might see it as a risk with respect to theft, but i also see it as we are here to change the perception and stigma of this business, the industry is o involving, laws are evolving. the opportunity to have a consumption lounge which is for residents but also a tourist attraction. this is the beginning of changing what the bayview is. since we are at this point where we are evolving and cannabis is becoming more accepted and everything is changing, it makes sense insurance carriers, hoa. laws are not written to forecast what the changes are going to be in the future. i would implore each of those entities to work with the sponsor. there are insurance companies that cover cannabis businesses.

i believe we will move to legal in the few years. financing is becoming more availability, banking is more availability. i would implore all parties involved to be creative, look for other options, work with the project sponsor to make this work. i think long-term it will be a benefit for the community. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am christine and i live at 800 inniss avenue. i am a native of san francisco born and raised in excelsior. single mom. i bought my condo in 2007. i am in opposition of this for a few reasons. one. the crime in this neighborhood

still exists. i have witnessed two deaths, one active as it was happening. gunshots at night. drinking at the shoreline park. you can't walk down there. if i go down there there are people partying and drinking and acting erratic. sexual activity in cars. myself experienced a gentleman in my car broke in night. my daughter woke up in the morning to go to school and she screams. we run back to the condo. this still exists in the community. i don't think anybody is not in favor of the cannabis dispensary but this neighborhood is not ready for a dispensary. when i come home from work sometimes, sometimes i workdays, sometimes nights. i think about ducking in my car

because i don't know when the next gunshot is going to ring out. because i work my butt off to buy a piece of property in san francisco. why do you smell like pot right now? i smelled it. don't go there. traffic in the parking there is a liquor store there, and there are people who double park all around the churn. when i come around the churn. i am like a bowling ball and i don't know how many pins are there i could possibly hit. it has gotten better with the new shipyard townhouses out there it has gotten better. at my building i have never been contacted or known anything about this cannabis dispensary. i found out through our hoa

which carries the same hoa as 828. i hope you think hard and long on this. this neighborhood is not ready for a dispensary. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i am the owner's son. i don't see posh green being any threat to the community. i don't think no one -- the more i hear a lot of people say the same thing. people are coming in to break in and we're about money. i don't see that being where we are going with this. i think posh green was going to bring a very good energy to the community. also, i want to say she has worked very hard to bring this, to present this to you guys, and

also we want to provide programs to give back to our community once this is passed. thank you. >> thank you. any other public comment on this item? okay. with that public comment is now closed. commissioner richards. >> commissioner richards: two questions maybe for staff or director. is there anywhere in the city where we have a cannabis retail or medical cannabis dispensary below residences? can you let me know if you are aware of any. >> mission between 15 and 16th. iit is a four or five story apartment building. >> it works? >> i'm not sure if it is

consumption or not. >> sorry. >> if you would like information i can provide that. >> please. >> dph, as i indicated have three different permit types. two consumptions are for edibles or nonsmoking. consumption type requires fully separated room with fully separated hvac system. if you share a system it can't use the same system. it has to have a fully separated system for a negative airflow and fully sealed door. it also needs a filtration system to eliminate smoke and odor prior to the air -- airflow. it is not prepared now. it needs to be reviewed at

permit issue answer. it is a little early right now. >> question for the project sponsor. two questions. the first question. normally when we have conditional use permits, and you are new at this. not your first can be use permit. we have the project sponsor knock on doors of neighboring businesses and homes. everybody gets a notice and there are meetings. did you knock on the doors on to say i am so and so and i will be doing this? >> yes, we did. we did get wind from one of the owners the hoa was having a meeting. they didn't include her. she owns three units. when we found out we decided to

have a quick meeting. [please stand by]

>> you have to apply for consumption and then we have to go to d.p.h. we are flying for this. we have it on the minutes. because when we have demos, just like harvey's and other places, we want people to come in and do demos, that is how we make our profit. we cannot do this without having a proper consumption license or we will get in trouble by the

state. that is the only consumption we are applying for. we told them in writing we were not going to do any smoking in the place, and we also talked about ensuring they told us -- last week they talked with their management and she told us to worry about our own insurance. we have it in writing. we should have liability because we are a business. and the h.o.a. is not our concern. >> one other question. thank you. when we see, this is maybe the third canada his retail -- cannabis retail, but we have seen maybe a thousand or more m.t.a. they include a security plan, they always have that is part of the packet. do you have a security plan? >> we have a security plan. we have our security team that will have the license, and they also have their own worker's compensation. we are doing everything. the insurance that we are going through has been around for over

40 years. they actually -- even though this is for liability, and that letter should be included that they told us not to worry about them, we need to worry about covering ourselves. >> and the other security plans i have seen, is how the product is kept under lock and key and how much access, and all this stuff. do you have the security plan? >> commissioner, if i could clarify. as part of the recent changes in how we are processing cannabis permits in the city, we did change work secured he plans come into play. previously, they would submit a security plan, planning staff and the commissioners would review it, but we are not particularly skilled in reviewing security plans. that responsibility has shifted to the office of cannabis. as part two of the application, we do ask for the plan to be prepared at this point.

the formal review, we do differ that to part two. we don't want to charge the police department with reviewing a security plan that does not get approved. we do consult with the police department. >> this is not the first time i have been through this. i actually have a state license from the bcc, grower delivery service, we are just turning it into a storefront. so i followed all the guidelines , and you know how hard it is to get a state license and we actually have a provision on it. we have to provide security plans, we have to provide -- it is a long list, as you can imagine, and we have to provide everything. it is like 89 items. the actual b.c.c. in the office of cannabis knows where everything is out. they are the only people who know where this place is added know where the product is at and everything, because they require us to submit that.
