 Okay, I'm going to go ahead and call to order tonight's meeting of the City of Santa Rosa Planning Commission and ask for roll call please. Let the record reflect that all commissioners are present. Okay, with the exception of Commissioner Carter. With the exception of Commissioner Carter. Okay, great. Thanks. Good catch. On to approval of minutes. We don't have any minutes tonight to approve so with that I'll move on to public comments which is a time for any member of the public to address the Commission on matters of interest of the Commission that are not listed tonight as a public hearing. I'm going to go ahead and open public comments. If you choose to speak just move to one of the microphones at the top and I am not seeing anyone move so I'm going to go ahead and close public comments and move on to planning commissioners reports. Any reports tonight? I have one. The Waterways Committee met this morning and what we we met at the Prince Memorial Gateway Park and we're taking a tour of the Prince Memorial Greenway. At that time Alistair Blyfus gave us the Creek Stewards stewardship update which I forgot to get my papers back but it's always so impressive as to how many volunteer efforts are being made to clean up our creeks how much trash is being removed the the community efforts it's it's always so impressive and heartening. So we were able to tour the Greenway and actually sort of made a list of discussion topics to take up at the next Waterways Committee meeting about particularly the Sears building right adjacent to the creek what might be happening with that and and just some other issues so for us to have on our agenda to discuss so that was always fun love field trips and then I don't know that the date has been set yet but hearing rumors that it may be October 23rd that might be set for our boards and commissions lunch which is the time when the city honors all of the board and commission members it's a really nice event so sometimes we don't get as much notice as we might need but rumor has it'll be on the 23rd so you can kind of hope for look at your emails and just in the nick of time we can move on to department reports don't have a department report today okay great statements of abstention by commission members no abstentions tonight we have no study session no consent items so with that we're going to move on to our first public hearing tonight which is item 10.1 which should be titled emerald city blooms conditional use permit it is an ex parte disclosure commission call you anything to disclose I visited sight have nothing further to disclose okay I have nothing to disclose I decided to decide and have nothing further to disclose I have nothing to disclose I have nothing to disclose and I visited the site and have no new information to discuss to disclose so with that we will move on to Miss Tumions giving the staff report thank you chair Cisco and members of the Planning Commission this project is emerald city blooms it's a request for a conditional use permit for cannabis retail and delivery at 112 commercial court within suites two and three the project is proposed to locate within a 2216 square foot commercial condominium as far as the project history they the app can applied in on April 19th of 2018 we held a neighborhood meeting in on May 30th of 2018 on June 27th the of 2018 application was deemed complete and the this project was part of the merit based review program for the initial cannabis retail applications on November 14th 2018 the cannabis policy subcommittee avoided a direct competitor within 600 feet and as a result of that decision emerald city blooms was allowed to move forward with the conditional use permit process and we received a traffic memo on April 11 2019 here's the project site as you can see it's a commercial condominium right up against highway 101 north and it's west of Santa Rosa Avenue here's a close-up site plan showing the two suites that they plan to occupy for emerald city blooms here's a close-up aerial showing the two suites that they plan to occupy in that corner here the proposed elevations they are proposing a new glazing and roll-up doors with glazing and a slightly modified storefront here are some renderings of their plan changes to the exterior of their commercial suite here's a floor plan the project in order to meet the parking requirement they are required to provide nine spaces and they do provide nine spaces however two those spaces are within the building itself and they are planned for employees only the site is zoned CG general commercial and is in the retail and business service general plan designation in addition to the neighborhood meeting staff received an email correspondence from mr. Firestone who's a neighbor to the north he's currently building the hotel on that hotel site adjacent to the freeway and he was concerned about some compatibility issues with a cannabis retail dispensary and near his new hotel that's under construction however we did receive late correspondence from him where he cited support for the project so long as the applicant adhered to what they promised in their operational statement as well as the city enforcing conditions as far as security lighting and various other topics that he listed in his letter and other than mr. Firestone staff hasn't received any other comments or letters from other neighbors or citizens and as far as sequel they it was found in compliance pursuant to 15 303 15 301 and 15 3 3 2 with that the planning and economic development department recommends that the planning Commission approve a resolution to allow emerald city blooms to operate a cannabis retail dispensary and delivery facility at 112 commercial court suites 2 and 3 one correction that staffs recommends on the resolution is wherever emerald city blooms is cited that it should read emerald city blooms to reflect the accurate name of the proposed cannabis retail dispensary the applicant is present to make a presentation and staff is available for any questions or comments any questions of staff right now with the applicant

that Catherine and Enrique sites two of your applicants we guys raise your hands please there we go along with Henry Wicks their third partner have been members and owners within this HOA for the more than 20 years and one of the ways that this project one of the reasons that this project was selected from amongst the competitive review process in addition to the quality of the application is that relationship that the sites is enjoy with the other members of their HOA you'll see in your packet that there are letters of support from representatives of the HOA which hopefully will dictate to you that the sites is are able to follow through on the obligations that they have imposed on their project and the conditions that you as the city will impose as well go ahead please so again you as you

support of the project as well please go ahead and that is the conclusion of our presentation in anticipation of the question I do want to reflect that the applicants have entered into a Labor Peace Agreement with Teamsters local 665 and Joint Council 7 and of course we are prepared to answer any further questions that you may have thank you very much any questions of the applicant right now okay thank you Ms. Crosston and with that this is a public hearing tonight I'm going to go ahead and open the public hearing I don't have any cards on this item but you don't have to have filled out a card in order to speak and if you'd like me up go to the microphone and if you begin by stating your name for the record and you have three minutes yes ma'am thank you so much my name is Tim Kelly I am here representing Stone Park capital Mr. Firestone who's previously mentioned as having drafted a communication hopefully that you're in receipt of that at this point he asked me to make sure that you guys had been in receipt of that letter that he drafted wanted me to reiterate his support of the project over the past six months there's been tremendous communication some back and forth obviously there's some concerns that he has shared both in the letter and with the ownership group but feels as though as long as those requests and commitments are adhered to the project has his full support moving forward so thank you thank you hi my name is Drew Duvall one of the founders of Floral Farms I've had the pleasure of knowing Henry Wicks and Catherine for the better part of three and a half years they helped design a 60,000 square foot facility cultivation facility out Sonoma County along with another 24,000 square foot facility that my wife and I operate one of the cool things about the facilities that it's designed to achieve from an operational perspective a compliance perspective and overall aesthetics I attribute a lot of that to Henry's knowledge in all those areas he kind of walked us through design permitting all the way through the construction phase and up to an operational state as it is currently today so I can't attest to his skills there and how good he is at doing those things I've also gotten to know Henry on a personal level as well during the design phase unfortunately Henry lost his house in the fire and was moved in with my wife and I and our small child and we got to know each other there as well so from a character reference standpoint can't say enough about how great of a guy he is and how in this industry we need more people like him and Catherine operating these types of businesses to further the industry so I'm in full support of this thank you thank you good afternoon my name is Donna leach and I am here representing herbal distribution solutions we're a cannabis distributor in Santa Rosa we've been operational for just over a year and over the course of that time we like to feel like we've become a leader in the industry we're one of the larger distributors in the state and we've come to know Catherine and Henry throughout our process as well Henry was a very key partner for us in opening our distribution center and expanding it to about 8,000 18,000 square feet that we're operating now and I am just here to reiterate our support for Catherine and for the Emerald City Blooms project we're looking forward very much to being able to work with Catherine I know that the attention to detail on this project and the thoughtfulness that the team has put into it really demonstrates to me their intention to put a really quality business into Santa Rosa and really serve the community and we're looking very much forward to being a part of that so I'm also just here to state that herbal distribution is in full support thank you thank you okay good afternoon my name is Daniel de Monte I am the vice president of the board of directors for the HOA for the complex of which Emerald City Blooms will be located I've known the sites is for going on 30 years have had a great relationship with them team players responsible our concerns we don't really know what some of the negative impacts might be as a board as a property owner in that complex but we have full faith in Henry and Catherine to address any issues that happen to arise in a satisfactory manner and the board and myself personally support them and wish them the best of success great thank you anyone else wishing to speak on this item I'm not seeing anyone else stand so I'm going to go ahead and close the public hearing Ms. Carlstrom you have anything else to add okay Ms. Tumians just to get back to Mr. Firestone's letter that last paragraph could you clarify like he's under the impression that there's going to be an annual review can could you just clarify what will happen once a conditional use permit is issued and if there are any problems down the line because I think he's misunderstanding that process sure the annual review would only apply to the manufacturing aspect of cannabis where the the fire department would have an annual review of their equipment this location in this application is only for retail and delivery and there will be no manufacturing on site any violations of their permit could would be enforced by code enforcement through a complaint based process like any other conditional use permit okay I would like to follow up to just because there's multiple layers with cannabis operations and dispensaries in particular there's the local which is the city ordinance which is what christine's outline and that is the extent of it the use permit runs with the property so that's not a different type of use permit for dispensary so once they have a use permit for cannabis retail it's it's it's good for the site as long as it's active and in compliance with their permit and but we also work with our regional partner department Sonoma County Department of Health so if they have edibles at this dispensary they'll work with them we get those licenses and permits and inspections and then they also work with the state they have a state license and ultimately the states issuing annual licenses so that is the annual process so it may have been as part of just some confusion because there are multiple layers that that was the annual component but it's layers of partnerships to make sure that these things are working in accordance to how they're presented and in compliance with the loss great thanks for explaining that commission any other questions of staff by stir weeks can you tell us how many employees you're looking at and if they're gonna be full-time or part-time just one moment commissioner weeks and if any of the applicant representatives would like to join me to answer on their behalf of course you are all welcome no come on up Catherine can you hear me okay my name is Catherine Sights and we're looking right now at about four employees some will be maybe two will be part-time overlapping and there'll be a security card and I will be on site or Henry Sights will be on site it's it's a small dispensary and that's about it for right now any other questions any other questions of staff either okay not seeing any okay so let's bring it back to the Commission and would somebody like to read the resolution amending the names were applicable and for purposes of discussion move a resolution of the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Rosa approving a conditional use permit for emerald city blooms to operate a cannabis adult adult and medicinal use retail dispensary and delivery facility within a 2216 square foot commercial condominium located at 112 commercial court suites 2 and 3 assessors parcels number 043-240-001 file number CUP 18-065 and 22 amend emerald blooms to emerald city throughout the text amending emerald blooms to amend emerald city wherever it occurs in the text and wait for the reading great do I have a second I second okay so that was moved by Commissioner Deggan seconded by Commissioner Peterson vice chair weeks would you like to start sure well I think it's a pretty straightforward application and has been vetted through the process quite thoroughly and I also think it's a good location I like that the operators are long-term neighbors of the existing tenants I think that will really help with if there are any issues so I'm going to be supporting the application and can make all the findings commissioner Peterson I agree with vice chair weeks I think as we see more and more of these conditional use permits the process becomes a lot more streamlined and a lot more straightforward I can make all necessary findings for this project and I would also echo her comments in that I I like to see that Santa Rosa's attempt to be sort of a pioneer in the cannabis space as it's been legalized statewide is keeping a local connection long-term Sonoma County residents are not seeing in this case you know an outside investor taking advantage of our regulatory space and in particular as the applicants representative noted anticipatorily I also like to see that we're getting some good labor relations out of this that these are in fact going to be good jobs that do contribute to the community rather than just the the ownership so with all that I can make all necessary findings and support the project yeah I agree with my fellow commissioners I will add that I do like the effort made to be a good neighbor to not your previously existing neighbors but your new one coming in the hotel and to work with them and have that open dialogue we don't always see that with some of these applicants so it's good to see that but other than that I can make all necessary findings will be in support of the applicant I can also make all the necessary findings and have nothing else to add so I support the project I also can make all the required findings and will be supporting the project I appreciate that you've worked so well with your neighbors and that this is a small business mom-and-pop dispensary and I also can make all of the findings and echo the comments of my fellow commissioners so with that the resolution was moved as amended by Commissioner Duggan seconded by Commissioner Peterson and your votes please and that passes with six eyes commissioner Carter being absent tonight and that concludes this item so thank you and next we're going to move on to item 10.1 which is the Citrus Hill cannabis retail facility conditional use permit it is also an exporter disclosure commissioner Kaya I visit the site and have nothing further to disclose I have nothing to disclose I share weeks I visited the site and have nothing to disclose I have nothing to disclose I have nothing to disclose and I also visited the site and have no new information to disclose and with that manual or so we'll give the staff presentation thank you chair members of the planning commission my name is Emmanuel Ursu on the project planner for this next application Citrus Hill is a request to add a dispensary to an existing approved facility or facility that's approved to have cultivation distribution in manufacturing the project is located at 1236 Briggs Avenue I'm gonna you've been at through these applications many times I'm gonna go very quick look like we have two large of an audience here this evening but just a brief overview of my presentation I'm gonna give a real brief overview of the cannabis regulations describe the project the process we went through and then staff's recommendation so the ordinance that establishes cannabis businesses does so in two categories one for businesses one for personal use under the commercial cannabis business category there are several types of cannabis businesses a retail business is proposed and this application includes which is a dispensary and includes delivery cannabis retail is a facility where cannabis products are offered for retail sale and includes delivery the uses the use is allowed in several zoning districts throughout the city including the light industrial district which this project is located in they're required to be set back at least 600 feet from a K through 12 school they may not be within 600 feet of another facility a retail facility and they're subject to approval of conditional use permit considered by the Planning Commission and the Commission's decision can be appealed to the City Council deliveries are only allowed from facilities that have a storefront location drive-throughs are not permitted the hours of operation are allowed between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. what's being proposed is a little more restrictive than that between 11 and 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and then noon to five on Sundays there are very detailed requirements in the code pertaining to security and on-site consumption may be allowed subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission that is not part of the proposal with this application there are six findings for conditional use permits as shown on this slide and the second slide general these findings are that the use is compatible with its surroundings this application is for approximately 650 square foot dispensary in an existing structure that has been approved for cultivation manufacturing and distribution that was approved through at the staff level by the zoning administrator this application requires six parking spaces and excuse me a total of 10 parking spaces six are on site four proposed are on an adjoining piece of property the code allows that there are specific provisions regarding a deed restriction that must be recorded on the property on which the off-site parking is located and that is a condition of approval of this application the application was submitted back in 2018 and go after it went through a completeness review process and revisions were made this application also was went through the city's competitive review process and was selected there was another facility that was proposed nearby and we're before the Planning Commission this evening for action on the application this shows the project locations in the northwest quadrant of the of the city it's in the an area designated in the general plan for light industrial uses and as this excerpt from the general plan land use diagram shows it's surrounded by other properties in the light industrial land use designation the zoning similar to the general plan is light industrial and this is in the stationary a specific plan this is what the 600 foot radius around the property entails the closest school is almost twice that distance away to the pretty much into east separated by the freeway from the from the project site this is an aerial view of the property the driveway is an easement over the parcel to the left of it and that parcel to the left is also the parcel on which the surplus or the additional parking spaces the four parking spaces are located the retail component will be in the left hand side the cultivation and other components manufacturing distribution occur on the on that right hand the larger wing of the building this is a street view again with the retail on the left hand side behind the parking lot and the cultivation manufacturing distribution on the right hand side this is the floor plan or site plan on the dispensaries towards the the back left of this diagram the parkings in the front left and the cultivation and other components of the project are on the previously approved project on the right hand side this is the breakdown of the parking required so it's actually nine required they're providing a total of 10 for which are on the adjoining property this is the provision the codes that speaks to the requirement for a basically a deed restriction on the property on which the parking is located in that parking that site next door has a surplus a large surplus of parking I believe it's over 17 surplus parking spaces that would remain so there's plenty of parking available on the adjoining property as I mentioned earlier the proposed hours of operation are from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and then noon to 5 on Sundays we have as of September 12th we had no comment since September 12th we received one letter and that was a letter from the applicants representative urging the commission to support the project to that solvent that letter was forwarded to the applicant other than that we have not received any public comment and as a note in this slide the closest residential property is about 400 feet to the north north northwest of the project site the project is in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and qualifies for several exemptions as noted on this slide and with that staff recommends the Commission approved project with the conditions listed in the attached resolution in with one minor change the business is listed as cannabis cannabis Hill excuse me citrus Hill cannabis is how the business is listed in the resolution that should read cannabis or citrus Hill incorporated so citrus Hill Inc. instead of citrus Hill cannabis is the name on the in the resolution that should be changed and with that I conclude my presentation thank you any questions of staff right now yes commissioner Duggan I have one clarifying question on page 2 of the staff report it mentions the second paragraph of the executive summary deliveries will occur between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. 7 days a week is that incorrect or is that still intended that that is correct okay yeah okay thank you any other questions yeah commissioner Kropke regarding the use of the surplus spaces at 1240 Briggs is there any use for that parcel at 1240 Briggs in the future that could develop all of that parking or is that not a concern at this time yes potentially if the use in that property were to change from its current use to a more intense use the parking demand could be greater the code does contain provisions regarding change of use that allows where there is no expansion of a facility that no additional parking is required if the deficit is less than 10 spaces however with the deed restriction on the property if an application were to come in for a change of use of that property the city would be aware of that and we'd make sure that ensure that the adequate parking was provided in its as a general matter of course a parking analysis is done as part of the review process for new land use entitlement applications okay so sorry just needed needed a little bit of clarified what would happen if that if that use if the parking requirement isn't if the usage is intensified the parking requirement takes a ball do we just have four required parking spaces that are now out in the open for this applicant that anyone they it wouldn't meet with the application is saying now is that how does that how does that go so those four parking spaces would be accounted for so so if the new and you use came in on the neighboring property and they needed a hundred percent of the spaces that are on the neighboring property will you tell them no you can't have that use there because your four spaces short so you need to go find four spaces elsewhere or another option is this applicant or the operator of this use permit needs to have four off-site off-site spaces that are consistent with this permit so there may be that this permit needs to get amended if that other operator actually for whatever circumstance can't offer these anymore doesn't want to offer these anymore the burden of it's really that's why off-site parking agreements and allowances come to the Planning Commission because you're looking at two properties so it's perfectly appropriate question to ask what happens to the other property so they do have to work in concert and if there's an amendment to one they have to deal with that sort of amendment to use or to permit but your weeks a quick follow-up on that question will the off four off-site spaces be signed as you know that it's it's citrus hill ink citrus hill cannabis so that people know that that's an allowed parking for that business we don't have that as a recommended condition of approval that could be required but it's not part of the proposal and I don't know if that would be part of the agreement between the two parties between the two property owners any other questions of staff right now okay the applicant ready to give a presentation good afternoon once again chair Cisco and members of the Commission me again Erin Carlstrom with Kelly Carlstrom and noble we do once again have a quick PowerPoint for you Claire's looking at me like that perhaps it's not the case so Emmanuel mr. Ursu with your indulgence would you mind clicking as we're going through your your staff report and mr. Ursu admirably outline for you the various review processes that this project has gone through much like the previous project this was a project subject to the competitive review process last our hearing rather in front of the subcommittee was last August here we go we've got our presentation up wonderful thank you both very much down there so in brief of course as always your staff have done an admirable job highlighting the the six findings that you were all required to make it's my job here to just impress upon you once again the reason that this project was chosen over its competitor in the area and I will do so briefly again cognizant of the time please quickly meet the Citrus Hill team Eric valianti and Dimitri Skolnikov gentlemen please raise your hands they are here they are present they are very excited that we are here for this hearing this afternoon mr. valianti is an iraq war veteran and a 13-plus year resident of Sonoma County he along with Dimitri run room down in San Francisco which is consistently rated one of California's best dispensaries and they're excited to bring that experience to you and to our community please go ahead thank you again an opportunity to showcase for you the various design elements that these applicants look forward to bringing into Santa Rosa you saw some plans some site maps by mr. Ursu just to orient you all this Briggs neighborhood just off Cleveland near Fogbelt Brewing and in that vein the design elements will feature components that tie the property in with its surrounding businesses in order to honor and remain compatible and consistent with that aesthetic please go ahead in previous conversations again as as today parking is of course paramount concern for the city as we onboard more retail dispensaries I think the Commission as well as the community will become accustomed to the idea that though we require one space per certain numbers of feet we all know parking doesn't necessarily flow in that way but just to highlight for you how our bicycle and pedestrian access is built out for this site in addition to the parking spaces that both currently exist and which have been negotiated with the neighboring property at 1240 please go ahead important to both the proponents of this particular application is a commitment to the neighborhood for those of you who have visited the site you probably have experienced that this is an area in what I would say more than an average need of a facelift and so the applicants are excited to be a part of that process they're also already committing themselves to their neighborhood with respect to developing relationships beautifying the area as a part of their original application I want the Commission to be aware that this applicant team committed itself to creating both the compliance officer as well as a community outreach liaison for the neighboring properties in order to continue to build that sense of community please go ahead again just to highlight the overwhelming success that the applicants have had in their San Francisco dispensary that they look forward to bringing to you and to us here in Santa Rosa more than a decade of experience which is again one of the reasons that your cannabis subcommittee of the three council members felt that this project deserved its recommendation of support and that's it we are here if there are any further questions from the Commission as always we thank you for your commitment to our city any questions for the applicant yes mr. Peterson can you tell me about any labor peace agreements there may be with this particular project Commissioner Peterson a labor peace agreement has not been signed but the applicant has had and will continue as continuing to have conversations with Joint Council 7 thank you sure hi Clayton Taylor teamsters local 665 and then in regards to the labor peace agreement I've had extended conversations with Eric and I do feel confident that they will be operating good faith thank you any other questions of the applicant okay this is a public hearing tonight I'm gonna go ahead and open the public hearing and if anyone is wishing to speak on this item move to a microphone we don't have any cards and I'm not seeing anyone move so with that I'm gonna go ahead and close the public hearing bring it back to Commission any other questions of either staff or applicant okay great so with that would someone like to move the resolution for purposes of discussion amending the name as requested I'll move a resolution of the planning Commission of the City of Santa Rosa approved in a conditional youth permit for citrus hill ink to operate a cannabis adult and medicinal use retail dispensary and delivery facility within a 654 square foot portion of a 6664 square foot industrial building located at 1236 Briggs Avenue assessor's parcel number 012-083-009 file number CUP 18-050 and revised citrus hill cannabis to reduce all ink throughout the resolution and waive for the reading great and do I have a second a second okay so that was moved by Commissioner Duggan seconded by Commissioner Peterson Mr. Duggan would you like to start sure I can make all the required findings and I think it's a good solution to the parking shortage to be able to make a agreement with the adjoining parcel and since that parcel is already over parked anyway I think there's plenty of leeway in the case they come back with a more intensive use so I'm in support of the project I also can make all the required findings and we'll be supporting this project I think your experience with San Francisco shows that you're you know what you're doing in this regard and so I will support this project Mr. Weeks I am going to support the project I can make all the findings and I think the parking solution was creative and also it was a very thorough application like the previous one it helps that they've been vetted through the cannabis subcommittee of the council but before they come to us so thank you Mr. Peterson I don't have much to add I can make all necessary findings for this project I think it was well put together and I hope that there is good-faced negotiations continue with regard to the labor part of it. Commissioner Krepke I can make all the required findings and support the project I do like the solution for the parking and also like that there's a solution in case that solution doesn't work out in the future as well as that barring anything going wrong with the labor agreements that they still want to focus on local hires and pay living wages so with that I will be in support of the project and I'm also in support of the project even though the nearest residences are 400 feet away I appreciate that this really is a site that even though it's in an industrial area it's very walkable to all of the multifamily housing that's being built on range and has been built on range and Jennings so I think it's well-cited and again a very complete application as Vice Chair Weeks stated so with that I can make all of the required findings as well and with that the resolution was moved as amended by Commissioner Duggan seconded by Commissioner Peterson any other questions comments your votes please and that passes with six eyes Commissioner Carter being absent tonight and that concludes this item congratulations and we'll adjourn our meeting to October 10th
