its name is the bernal heights dispensary. i'd like to distinguish that dispensary from dr. margusov's. that dispensary does not provide other health care services. it just provides medical cannabis to patients. and also, it allows smoking inside. dr. margusov will not allow smoking in his dispensary. and it will also provide chiropractic care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and licensed clinical social work. in addition to having that beautiful-looking cafe in front, it will also be a real health care facility in the back, providing a whole range of holistic care to patients as well as, of course, their medical cannabis. another thing is that the dispensary and its security guards will actually improve the area. somebody mentioned the problem with loitering or graffiti. having the dispensary there and its security guards will actually reduce some of these apparent problems that apparently exist there, such as loitering, the graffiti, and other problems that people have. the disprensry will actually im-- dispensary will actually improve it. and that facade would act

it will be the first dispensary in sunset francisco -- it will be the first dispensary and san francisco to have unionized workers. and we also intend to explore the possibility of leasing out the 25 _ foot space immediately adjacent to ours -- 2500 sq. ft. space immediately adjacent to ours. if you have any other questions, i like to take the opportunity to answer them. president olague: not at this time, thinking. i like to open it up for public comment. we're going to limit public, at to 1 minute, as we have heard this previously. all of the answers we had have been answered by our department. so there is always the option of signing up to show support, which we did previously, but will limit the time on the public comment. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm a special project, committee, and local court a better for the local 5. alert to bring your attention to one of the more important aspects of this very important item before you today. that is employment. $19 per hour is the starting pay for people who are going to work in this regulated industry, and it will tap out at $45 per

i think there have only been two dispensaries we have denied. the first one, and then the 1 and north beach. i think the first one was unanimous, but the second was not. given the current rules, we fully support, i also think there is a lot of misinformation, misunderstanding, and still a lot of fear around medical cannabis dispensary is, when really it is a medical use and people have to have certain prescriptions. they need a prescription in order to even enter that placed. in this situation, no smoking is even allowed on site, i don't believe. there are some places where it is, there are some places where it is not. i don't think we have any conclusive research that indicates there is a connection between medical cannabis dispensary and in increase -- i will be careful in saying this, medical cannabis amongst youth or anyone else who happens to occupy the dispensary or happens to be adjacent to it. i think there is still a lot of things. i am glad you are using this opportunity to educate. you met with the people in shock. they serve as a lot

ordinance, childcare facilities are not included among those areas that dispensaries must be 1,000 feet away from. and, of course, you can see why the board of supervisors drafted the ordinance the way it did. small children, you know, children who are under 5 years old, are not going to be going on into a medical cannabis dispensary the way some -- [tone] older students might. president olague: thank you. >> they have teachers and providers. you're welcome. >> marijuana, medical or illegal. i deal with it every day at my house. i live on 11th avenue. getting home from work last night two people on my backdoorstep just rolling marijuana. medical? illegal? i don't know. i've swept up both kind of containers behind my house. there's a club on 29 mission street. i don't feel safe. i've been living there 16 years, slowly the neighborhood turns around, graffiti. i've been removing it. storefronts, curbs, everything, to get my neighborhood safe. i don't feel safe. approach adults, people behind my house, find that place to go. they're not smoking marijuana. i realize that. they're going to ha

our neighborhood already has a dispensary. isn't that snuff why do we need another one just two, three blocks away? would that be allowed in neighborhoods like pacific heights or the marina? would that be acceptable in your neighborhood? nowhere in the agenda packet sent to you does it point out that there's already a dispensary at 29th and mission. that's a important factor you need to consider before making this decision. i urge to you deny this application in the name of fairness. thank you. president olague: thank you. >> i'm a member in the neighborhood. i do believe that the neighborhood is in need of active benefits on that block. i believe the neighborhood would benefit from the positive economic impact that the club would bring. and i do support the plans for the m.p.d. and i hope you vote in favor of the plan. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is eric guest. i'm an occupational therapist. i'm here to advocate for the dispensary here in the city of san francisco. personally, professionally, i've witnessed the

at this commission or at any other time, been shown any statistics to show that medical cannabis dispensary increase crime in a neighborhood. i mean, if there's crime -- and i'm sure the officer would be the first one to second me on this. report it to them. do it. that's exactly what should be done. that's what all the stations in san francisco and all over expect you to do. but no one has ever presented to us actual factual material on which we could make a decision of saying this is going to increase crime. i haven't seen it at all. the comment on the signs on 1,000-foot drug-free zones are for illegal drugs. they are not for anything from prescription drugs, basically. whether i like it or not, the manner of which the prescriptions are held in medical cannabis, this has to be considered a prescription drug. you get it because you get it on the basis of a doctor's prescription. and so it is not covered in that. and on that basis, it becomes very difficult for me to make a decision based on the arguments that have come forward. president olague: commissioner sog so sugaya? commissioner su

i present a case to establish a medical cannabis dispensary doing business as herbal mission as 3139 mission street. while no physical expansion sprow posed for the structure, the addition of a retail coffee store in front of the existing structure is also included in the proposal. retail coffee store of approximately 360 square feet while wil have a distinct entry from the proposed 1700 square foot medical cannabis dispensary. commissioners, the m.c.d. will sell medical cannabis and medical cannabis food stuffs. will not allow on site smoking or vaporizing. they will grow minor amount of medical cannabis on site and offer delivery service and allow those due to lack of access and cannot enter the m.c.d. they will have an indoor coffee store with retail seating and plans to further enhance a pedestrian experience on mission street at the subject property. this expansion to the original scope of the project, which was simply the m.c.d., is being done as part of and as the express outcome of the outreach efforts community groups. the department believes this will add to the vitality of

careful in saying this, medical cannabis amongst youth or anyone else who happens to occupy the dispensary or happens to be adjacent to it. i think there is still a lot of things. i am glad you are using this opportunity to educate. you met with the people in shock. they serve as a lot of younger women, i believe, and they became more educated about this. i know i heard it through the supervisor's office that the director of the miami hub has had concerns -- have not had any concerns either, and they serve youth and seniors. i think there is still a lot of education that needs to be done among the public. since we have been hearing so many more concerns, i know you were at the beginning of the discussion i don't know how many years ago. i don't know, a long time ago. maybe at some point you could be part of reopening and reconsidering and discussing these things out. but i think we will figure out a way to draft a letter to the board, requesting that they start to kind of assess where we are, where we're going in regards to this issue. so i support this, also. and i think the conversation
