commissioner carter do you have anything to disclose i did visit the site and i have nothing further to disclose thank you commissioner dougan hi visited visited the site and i am also acquainted with the attorney who wrote the letter on behalf of the property owners she's a spin instructor at the ynca where i work out i only found out her last name last week when i inquired um and we have no financial connections thank you commissioner holton i have nothing to disclose i visited the site thank you commissioner calia i visited the site and have nothing further to disclose commissioner crepti i have nothing to disclose and vice chair peterson i visited the site and i have nothing further to disclose and i also visited the site and spoke to the property owners representative this morning but nothing further to disclose i'd like to recognize staff now who submitted a memo regarding this item i believe it was yesterday and so in supervising planner would you like to go ahead sure great thank you chair weeks and uh good afternoon planning commissioners uh at this point in in uh the presentation staff asked that planning commission consider a recommendation to continue this item to a date certain of march 11 2021 which would be the first regularly scheduled planning commission meeting in march the reason for this recommendation is that communication from the appellant indicates that she is not able to be present for this meeting today this recommendation for continuance was described in a memo to planning commission dated february 23rd 2021 communications from the property owner slash applicant and the appellant have been provided to planning commission as late correspondence staff also wishes to inform planning commission that the property owner appellant and representative is participating in today's meeting and has requested the opportunity to speak to the commission the planning commission has full discretion in responding to this request thank you thank you uh so let's see i unless there's an objection i would like to provide the property owner with three minutes to address the commission is there any objection by any commissioner on this okay um so uh can you mr maloney can you unmute the forgive the uh output or the property owner speaking privileges yes i think please raise their hand we have about 50 people in our participants list oh okay sorry that's okay uh mr maloney we would ask that you unmute uh tony cabrera as well as um danie lesho and amber lesho if you can identify them as participants right on cabrera if the others can please raise their hand as well it's it's a really easy way to find people three of those four applicants have the looks like amber daniel are one so they all have the ability to unmute and speak at their discretion okay so uh with the property owner uh like to start yeah three minutes and do you um do you need the countdown timer mike i'm second on there okay i don't i don't believe so let me check the staff if we do times for these okay then um if the property owner the leach leach house would like to speak thank you can you hear me yes we can hi hi there thank you so much for giving us some time i'm amber lehow i'm one of the property owners and i'm here with my husband daniel lehow um good afternoon and thank you and um i just wanted to start out by saying that um we understand the city and um the commission's positions and we definitely don't want to be of um any inconvenience but we've um basically been dealing with this issue since early december um and we understand that as per the code um reading the earliest scheduled meeting which would have essentially been in um early uh early january would have been the first available time for us to have this commission hearing and it's been extended a number of times this is the i believe the fourth meeting since that point um and my husband and i are both um i'm a a nurse at a local hospital my husband's a sheriff and the only reason i point that out is um it's extremely difficult for us to keep getting our shifts covered um and we we've gotten one shift covered in the past for a potential february 11th meeting um as well as today and now um with a continuance we'll have to get our next shifts covered and it's just very difficult not only on us but also on our fellow co-workers to fill in the gaps um we also have two very young kids that we have to get um somebody to babysit for these meetings um so that's just a personal hardship but um on top of that we feel that we've been very responsive um in all of the cities um ask if we were available made ourselves available for all of these meetings um and not only us but also staff as well as uh tony cabrera who's been our um liaison um so at this point we just ask that we at least be considered to go ahead with the agenda item today um if there is a continuance we ask if we please have a definitive date um just so that it doesn't keep getting pushed back for um not only the hardships but also like i said we've both us and the appellant have had ample time since december to come up with documentation um and what we wanted to say at this meeting so we just feel like it's we've we've been fair and giving more than enough time um so we hope that um this is at least considered and again if we discontinued we ask for a definitive date which andrew had mentioned would be potentially the um march 11th date so thank you for your time and consideration we greatly appreciate it thank you thank you i noticed there is one other person with her hand raised i'm not sure uh if i could get some direction from staff about that third chair weeks um i think the the proposal is to allow three minutes for the the applicant and members from their team to speak so if there's somebody else from their team that would like to speak they're representative they can do so at this point okay is there anybody else from it was three minutes total that that was what the proposal was i think we had about 20 seconds left so okay uh is there any other member of the team that would like to take up 20 seconds yes chair weeks i would like to uh to speak if i can okay mr prabriar you have about 20 seconds okay again just reiterating what uh what amber said um that this has been a hardship on her to uh bounce back and forth on this one of the things i do want to point out is that the appeal was filed on december 17th and since that time no new information has been uh submitted by the appellant uh what we would request is that the information that is contained in the staff report today be the information uh that the that the commission uh reviews and that no new information be uh submitted from today thank you go bring it back to the commission um do you have any questions of staff regarding this item and chair weeks we yeah we would recommend that you also offer the same three minutes to the appellant oh sorry i didn't know that they were here if they're present if the appellant is present could you please raise your hand uh and you would have three minutes to speak commissioner weeks can you hear me this is chris kelton yes i thank you commissioner uh this is chris kelton i'm appearing this evening on behalf of the appellant and um i want to encourage the commission to adopt staff's recommendation for continuance um i think we just lost you mr. skelton we've lost your audio pardon me i i got disconnected there somehow can you hear me now yes thank you uh excuse me uh chris kelton on behalf of the appellant uh again encouraging you to adopt staff's recommendation for the continuance a couple points of clarification the basis for the continuance uh first early in the in the process staff identified that uh the materials were going to be made available 10 days in advance of the hearing they were not um second as part of the staff report and the documents that were produced in preparation for this hearing there was new information that was provided that was not made available under a prior public records act request setting aside the potential violation of the public records act that new information is compelling and it is important and so it requires additional time to analyze and evaluate in connection with the appeal uh so with with that fundamental basis that the the information was not available there is new information uh it it it should not come as a surprise that a continuance is being requested i also did go back and look at the commissioner's prior hearings and understand that three out of the four prior hearings were canceled so as much as this is you know late in the game two months plus after the appeal was filed it is i think relatively early or one of the earliest opportunities to have the hearing i don't believe there is a hardship in extending this to march 11th as i understand it the property owners continue to reside in the property and there is no inconvenience or incumbrance on the use of the property as a result of the appeal certainly the burden on their co-workers and on the arrangements that are necessary to accommodate a public hearing uh i'm sympathetic to and i hope that in light of covid and the zoom accommodations that those burdens are hopefully alleviated compared to you know the the good old days where we were all meeting in person um so uh yeah i think with with that uh the last comment that i have is i think in response to Mr. Cabrera's suggestion that the administrative record be limited to only what you have before you today i would just suggest that that's a violation of procedural due process we hope that the commission will receive review and digest all the information in advance of the next hearing and i certainly will be presenting some some of that information based on uh the documents that that i've just now come to learn about so thank you very much for your time and consideration and i look forward to seeing you on march 11th thank you mr. scelton okay so now uh i believe it's time to bring it back to the commission uh are there any questions uh of the commissioners uh for four staff at this point commissioner calia thank you uh vice chair um just a quick question for staff um how how many times has the appellant um asked for a continuance and was that was a continuance because of canceled planning commission meetings or was it just based on uh requests from the sure thank you for your question so this is the first time that the appeal has been scheduled for uh planning commission in in that it has appeared on a planning commission agenda so this has been the first request for a continuance of uh the meeting item at a planning commission meeting prior to that we had uh a inquired of the property owner and the appellant um availability on i believe it was the january 25th meeting uh and it was indicated that at that point in time that that would not be an opportune time to schedule the appeal for review thank you thank you uh commissioner peterson uh so just a kind of a procedural question uh you know if we're looking at march 11th i mean we don't need to make any particular findings at this point uh do we or i mean we can just pick the date that's correct it's at the commission's pleasure uh and just wanted to have one clarification staff is recommending that this be continued be continued to a date certain and we also want to make it clear that we're not uh in that recommendation precluding any additional information from any party so we can continue to receive that information obviously the closer it gets to the meeting limits some of the time for staff to be able to review that but we wanted to make that clarification thank you uh any other questions by commissioners no okay then um i'd like to ask for uh somebody to move that we continue this item to a date certain of march 11th i'd like to grant the request for a continuance okay so that was uh moved by commissioner holton is there a second i'll second thank you and second by commissioner dougan so that uh enough we could call for votes mike commissioner carter hi commissioner dougan hi commissioner holton hi commissioner calia hi commissioner crepti hi vice chair peterson hi chair weeks hi so that passed with uh seven eyes and we will see this uh back on the 11th of march so now the next item is a 10.2 public hearing conditional use permit alternatives east 2300 bethards drive uh sweet a city file number prj 19-047 uh this is an exparte disclosure so um i'd like to call on first commissioner carter for any disclosure i visited the site and have nothing further to disclose thank you commissioner dougan i also visited the site and had nothing further to disclose thank you commissioner holton i also visited the site and i in addition have nothing further to disclose commissioner calia hi visitor the site and have nothing further to disclose commissioner crepti and nothing to disclose vice chair peterson I visited the site and have nothing further to disclose. And I also visited the site. And once again, I'd like to call on staff to talk about the memo that was recommending that this item be continued. So. Sure. Sure. Director Rose. Actually, senior planner Adam Ross will be giving the summary on this and the recommendation. Hello, Mr. Ross. Hello, chair weeks. Vice chair Peterson members of the commission. Thank you. For being here tonight. So item 10.2 is, as you stated, I just want to say again, thank you. And at this point, staff asked that planning commission consider recommendation to continue this item to date certain of March 25 2021, which would be the second regularly scheduled planning commission meeting in March. The reason for this recommendation is that through public correspondence planning staff is alerted to a deficiency in noticing as it relates to required on site signage in that only one on site sign was installed on the avenue frontage. Current regulations require that on site signs be installed on all street frontages. So an additional sign should have been installed on the avenue frontage. This recommendation for continuance was described in a memo to planning commission dated February 23 2021. If continued to date certain of March 25 2021 planning staff will re notice the meeting item entirely and ensure that on site signage is correctly installed. Additionally, planning staff notes that public comment late correspondence has been provide has been provided to the planning commissioners and entered into the public record. This continuance to March 25 would allow planning commissioners and the public ample opportunity to consider the late correspondence. In addition to that, I spoke with the project applicant, and they were in favor of this request for continuance to the date certain of March 25. Thank you, Mr Ross, bring it back to the commission. Do you have any questions of Mr Ross regarding this. I don't see anybody. So I'd like to ask for somebody to make a motion to continue this item to March 25. I'm sure that Commissioner Krepke. Yes, thank you. Oh, yes. I'm sorry to interrupt. Much like the previous item, we'd recommend that the chair inquire if there are any members from the applicant team that may wish to speak on this. Sorry. Are there any members of the applicant team that would like to speak on this item at this time. Is that am I on mute or I'm not sure I'm so sorry. So are you here you are the applicant if I recall correctly. Yes, chair weeks I am. Okay, so you will have three minutes to speak on this item. I just briefly want to apologize for any inconvenience that this lack of signage cause I forwarded the city's email to signs par excellence, which assured me that they've done hundreds of these meetings. I should have read the second page of the request and just left it in their hands but after a year of waiting through this process, we're very excited to proceed so thank you for your consideration on March 25. And we're happy to continue and proceed. And if possible, is it is it possible for me to give my email address in this forum, so that anyone who has questions that might want to reach out to the applicant and me about the project can reach out to me via email. Would that be appropriate. If anybody has appeared and has questions about the application. Yeah, this is a public comment and so if you're comfortable with that. You may do so. Very much so sure. My private email is mskslr at Comcast.net. And I'm happy to forward the staff report. Thank you so much for all the engineering studies that were done site reports and answer any questions that anyone has. So MSK SLR at Comcast.net. Thank you. Thank you very much. Okay now. I think the commissioners had comments but do you have that once again I'll check to see if there are any comments by any commissioners regarding this item. Then if somebody let's see if somebody could make a motion regarding this. Thank you. Okay, I'm going to continue. Thank you so much. Mr. Krepke you already made a motion so can you make the motion again please and I'm sorry. For how long I can keep saying this is my first meeting but this is my first meeting. Can you make a motion again. Yeah. I'll make a motion to prove the continuous to it. To date certain of March. I'll second. Oh, Commissioner Carter. He's on me. Okay, so that was moved by Commissioner Crip. He's seconded by Commissioner Carter. Mr. Maloney, would you call roll please? Or would you take the vote rather not call roll? Sorry. Thank you, Chair Weeks. I think you're doing great. Commissioner Carter. Hi. Commissioner Duggan. Hi. Commissioner Holden. Hi. Commissioner Kelly. Hi. Commissioner Krepke. Hi. Vice Chair Peterson. Hi. Chair Weeks. Hi. So that passed with seven eyes and it is continued to a date certain of March 25th. And then we'll move on to item 10.3. Which is also a public hearing for manifest venture conditional use permit to 489 Gernville Road. CUP number two zero dash zero zero eight. And this is also an exparte disclosure item. So we'll start with Commissioner Carter. Commissioner Krepke. Yeah. I visited the site and have nothing further to disclose. Thank you. Commissioner Duggan. I visited the site and exchanged emails with the applicants attorney. And have nothing further to disclose. Thank you. Commissioner Holton. I visited the site and I have nothing further to disclose. Mr. Collier. I also visit the site and have nothing further to disclose. I visited the site and I have nothing to disclose. Thank you, Vice Chair Peterson. I also visited the site and I had a relatively brief phone conversation with the applicant's hand that are representative today. I did not gain any new non-public information in that phone conversation. Thank you. And I also visited the site and had a conversation with the applicant and the applicant's attorney and have nothing further to disclose. So for this item, we have Ms. Chumians if you'd like to start us off. Thank you, Chair Weeks and members of the Planning Commission, Kristen A. Chumians, Senior Planner. Here to present a project called Manifest Venture at 2489 Gernville Road. This is a Manifest Venture is a project that proposes to operate a cannabis retail facility with delivery within a 1,554 square foot tenant space of an existing 2,754 square foot building. The proposed hours of operation are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days per week. The applicant does propose delivery service and the applicant does not propose any on-site consumption of cannabis. I wanted to be a brief project history. The application was submitted February 26, 2020. On July 29, 2020, planning staff held a virtual neighborhood meeting to discuss the proposed project. There were several neighbors that participated in the meeting and voiced concerns in opposition to a cannabis retail facility proposed near the residential neighborhood to the east as well as Priner High School to the north of the project site. And on January 21st, the project was deemed complete. This is the project location. It's in the northwest quadrant of the city at the corner of Fulton and Gernville. This shows where Priner High School is in relation to the project site. It's more than 2,200 feet away. This is a close-up aerial of the project site. As you can see, it's developed with an older retail storefront. I'm told it was a chocolate factory at one point originally. Now it's been, it has two tenant spaces, one for massage services and the applicant proposes to take up the vacant portion of the building. There are two residential structures to the back. They have their own parking allocated for their use and the retail has its own parking. This is the general plan and zoning designation for the subject property and the surrounding neighborhood. As you can see its own CN for neighborhood commercial and the general plan is retail and business services. Here is a site plan and four plan of the project. As you can see, they propose a take up slightly more than half of the retail building for cannabis retail sales. The parking lot is existing. The applicant is proposing some 80 upgrades to the parking facility and it's sprucing up of the exterior of the building which includes paint and other materials. This is the parking requirements for the commercial portion of the property. So the retail and delivery of cannabis at 1,554 square feet at one space per 250 would require seven spaces. The adjacent tenant space would require five for personal services. And that would require a total of 12 and they're over parked at 25 parking spaces. This is the project location as you can see at the corner of Bernville and Fulton. The applicant proposes to occupy the tenant space closest to the corner. And planning staff wanted to draw your attention to some late correspondence that was submitted late this afternoon. There were three separate emails, two in support and one from Lawrence Evangelinos or Angelinos and he expressed concern about the proximity of the dispensary to Piner High School and the influence that might have for children on the walking path to school and general concern about safety and crime. And staff wanted to go back and discuss the issues that were brought up via email and at the neighborhood meeting in regards to the proximity to Piner High School. And the project where it's proposed meets the physical distancing requirements from schools. As stated, Piner High School is approximately 2200 feet north of the project parcel. The proposed security and odor control measures will prevent any nuisance issues as far as odor and crime. And the proposed commercial retail tenant space is located as far as physically possible from any residential uses. It's all the way to the corner of Fulton and Gernville Road. In addition, it's located in a heavily trafficked commercial corridor. This applicant has prepared a PowerPoint as well and staff is available for any questions or comments. Thank you, Ms. Chumans. I think I'd like to hear from the applicant unless the commissioners have any questions that they'd like to ask staff right now. If not, we could hear from the applicant and then come back to staff. Notting heads, okay. So, oh, Commissioner Houlton. Yeah, I'd just like to ask if you could elaborate on parking upgrades. You mentioned that, that they would be doing some parking upgrades and I just wanted to see if you could elaborate on that. Yes, the applicant can elaborate more completely but they would be required to bring the parking lot up to ADA standards for wheelchair access. So it would include striping and perhaps grading to meet those standards. Right, thank you. Okay, so the applicant, I see that we have Mr. Rivera and Ms. Mercer Ingram. So Ms. Hello? Yes, I'm not sure who's gonna do the presentation. This is Julie Mercer Ingram and I'm gonna go ahead and lead the presentation and then Mr. Rivera will be able to speak briefly at the end. So first of all, I just wanna thank all the commissioners for taking the time to review the application and drive by the property. It sounds like everyone had an opportunity to do that and we also wanna thank the commissioners that made time to speak with us. And finally, we just wanna thank staff, particularly Ms. Tunian for her effort. It's just been a really interesting year and challenges all around. So we appreciate everyone's diligence on this project. So the first slide is just a quick rendering of the project, which I'll get into a little bit more on enhancement. So can we please forward to the next slide? Great. So as was mentioned in the staff report, this is a pretty heavily commercial area with some residential to the right hand corner of the mapping that's on the presentation slide. I just wanted to present this as sort of a visual of what kind of businesses are in this commercial corridor. It's largely restaurants, retail, some services like banks, and a lot of food. So in general, we're excited to be in a neighborhood that's so commercial because it is really compatible with the proposed use. As mentioned, we are well over 600 feet from either a school or an existing dispensary per the ordinance requirements. The project is a particularly visible location, which was of concern and is of importance when the policy for the commercial cannabis licenses or permits was passed. So I do believe this is a great location because of the visibility for sort of guarding against any sort of issues that might come up. It's also conveniently located, as I mentioned to the commercial businesses. And very importantly to the applicant, it is easily accessible from public transit by claims and is very walkable to neighborhoods surrounding this parcel. So we have the ability to be able to encourage people to use alternative means besides parking, although there is ample parking on site. During COVID, it's been a challenge to work with reaching out to neighbors, but in an effort to communicate with the neighbors, we got the voter records from the Sonoma County voter registrar and staffed and mailed hundreds of letters to neighbors in the direct vicinity of this area. And we received four responses, all in support of the project and two asking for jobs. So we didn't have anyone contact the applicant directly around any opposition to the project. The applicant is a first generation Spanish-speaking local to the area and it's really important to him, I'll let him speak to us a bit later, to provide Spanish bilingual services to directly serve the Spanish-speaking community in the area. Next slide please. This is a slightly different slide than it was provided. It was filed as an updated rendering is important here because the applicant had really not wanted to have such vibrant colors, it's really meant to be really highlighting. The idea here is to highlight the underlying vintage charm of the building while modernizing it and improving the visibility for the neighborhood. So the steps that the applicant is taking with the architectural team is to update the building facade by removing the faux stone or the stone on the front. And resurfacing, painting that a nice neutral but lovely peach pinky color, probably something a little bit softer than the bright pink that was provided in the slides with the agenda. On that wall on Fulton Road, this is a mock-up, it is not at all intended to be the proposed mural, but the idea is to do work with a local artist to present a mural that sort of reflects the community and to provide some sort of artistic point of interest on that pretty visible corner. In front of that will be planter boxes that feature drought tolerant and native plants. And also of importance is the bike parking that will be included in the updates to the building. In addition, the interior will be remodeled to both provide security and updates that are needed for the business operations, but also it is bit dated inside. So the building will also be brought up to code by installing fire sprinklers as well as the required security systems. The use of the applicant intends to enroll in the Sonoma County clean evergreen power. So 100% of the power will be provided by local renewable sources and they plan to install energy efficient lighting and equipment. That is then, oh, one other thing is there, the visibility from the front window, you will not be able to see, it looks like you can see through in this window in the artist rendering, but it will, nothing will be visible from the exterior of the building to see inside the building. So that will not be, no one will be able to see any transactions, any cannabis, nothing visible from the front for the code and state rules. That is not going to happen. Next slide, please. As I mentioned before, this project features very easily accessible public transit and alternative means to access the property, including bus stops, two bus stops within 50 feet of the building's entrance, dedicated bike lanes, bike parking will be installed and 25 parking spots available on site. Employees and customers will be encouraged through incentives to bike and use public transit, both to get to work and for customers to get to the store. Next slide, please. Security is of the utmost importance to the applicant. It's also required by state law to have surveillance cameras on the inside of the facility where any cannabis is located, as well as on any entrances as exits, as well as a downward-facing parking lot view, such that no surrounding neighborhood is captured, but that it is able to capture what's happening in the parking lot. The camera recording will be 24-7 and 90 days of footage will be retained. The alarm system will be installed and be able to be monitored from the applicant and manager's phones and will have immediate response from a local security provider. And as required by state law, the security personnel on site will both police inside, or not police, but monitor inside and the surrounding area of the property, including the parking lot on a rotating basis. In addition, the practices on site will be using the track and trace system through the state that is required by law that tracks all cannabis from seed to sale. The deliveries that are scheduled for products will be, all deliveries will be scheduled in advance and that any distributor that's delivering products will have the licensed information confirmed, as well as the driver confirmation sent in advance so that they're fully expecting each delivery. The deliveries will happen with a security guard on site managing at all times that delivery. Customers as well as guests will be required to present government issued ID to prove both age verification for their age as well as for deliveries making sure that the person who was supposed to be delivering is in fact who is on site. Staff will wear badge IDs so that they're easily identifiable as authorized personnel and all staff will receive extensive security training. Limited access areas are defined by state laws, areas that contain cannabis and only authorized staff and escorted visitors will be able to access those areas. Next slide. The applicant did engage Warner Mechanical Engineering Incorporated to provide a order mitigation plan in addition to the state required packaging rules that do not allow any open containers or excuse me, they do not allow any open cannabis on site. All cannabis goods are delivered packaged and airtight as well as child resistant and tamper evident so that no cannabis odor should escape from the state required packaging. In addition, the applicant will have no site on site consumption and no open containers on site for the customers to view. Staff will be trained to detect odors and monitor the facility and immediately remedy any issues if there were an issue including routine verification of all the systems and monitoring those for effectiveness. And of course, the engineer will be working with the applicant through the building permit process to install carbon filters as well as air balancing systems and system testing equipment. Next slide. It's important both for satisfying the general code requirements as well as just the applicants focus on sustainability. The project again, as I mentioned is going to be powered through 100% clean energy, use energy efficient equipment and lighting. Customers will be encouraged to use public transit and alternative means to access the facility, recycling program will be instituted on site. The applicant is going to seek or would like to seek a green business certification from Sonoma County and then all landscaping installed will be dropped tolerant and low water. Next slide. Licensing and compliance is very important to the applicant. A few of the agencies that will be overseeing this our license will be, of course, the State Bureau of Cannabis Control, the metric system will be needed and the applicant will pursue as required the Sonoma County Health Permit prior to occupancy. Kindlaw LLP has been involved in this project from conception and will continue to provide legal compliance services for the applicant. Staff will be trained in metric and compliance rules and applicant will of course abide by all local rules as well. Next slide. General plan compliance includes support for local supply chain partners. The applicant has state licenses for cultivation as well as distribution and has worked in the medical collective model prior to licensing availability in the state. So the focus will really be on supporting and working with local supply chain partners, both for the cannabis supplies as well as for other resources such as printing, architecture, construction and other needs. So really focusing on supporting Sonoma County in the Greater North region through this project. This project will create a mixture of jobs including retail clerks through delivery drivers, compliance staff, administrative staff, marketing, management and of course we'll support the professionals who are needed to bring this project into fruition. And then finally, we just wanna recognize that this project is on two major class two bike lanes and is a very important to the applicant to really encourage people to use those bikes to get to the facility. The next slide please. So before we meet the applicant, I just wanted to, before I sign off to just make sure to reiterate how this project seeks to really improve the highly visible corner by increasing or by enhancing the facade of the building as well as the interior providing security, odor mitigation efforts and complying with state and local rules across the board. As such, the applicant anticipates that the neighbor properties may even increase in value but if not, at least the neighborhood will see a bit of an eyesore be improved through the efforts of this applicant. Mr. Rivera is able to maybe speak to his qualifications and just state what this project means to him. So Manny, are you there? Yes, I'm here, Julie. Thank you so much. And thank you to everybody for being on the call. I'm very excited, a little bit nervous. I am really confident in the team that we have for this project. I've had the opportunity to work in the licensed realm for cannabis here in California. I'm very well-versed with the regulations, very well-versed with the Track and Trace program and looking forward to taking all that knowledge in my experience to be able to run this retail facility and most importantly, as a member of this community and living and being a homeowner here on the west side of town, it's very important to me that we operate ethically and that we've taken into consideration all of the neighborhood concerns. And I'm just very, very excited about that. And also very, very excited as first generation Mexican-American entrepreneur to be able to accomplish this, even though in our county, in our city, there is no social equity programs yet. But very excited that I'll have an opportunity to really focus on bringing some education to the Latino community, which seems to be at about 28% here of Sonoma County. And I believe it's a little bit underserved. So we're definitely very, very, very excited to be a part of the community and to continue to do good work here in the city that I reside in. So thank you so much for this opportunity. And like I said, just very, very, very excited to be making some headway. The process can be a little bit tedious and with COVID, there's been some challenges, but I think that overall, Julie, thank you so much. We've done the best that we can to be able to reach out to everybody and really answer questions and be there to make people feel comfortable with what we're trying to do here. Thank you. Okay, is that it for the applicant presentation? Yes, thank you very much. Thank you. So I'll bring it back to the commission. Do you have any questions of the applicant before we go to the public hearing? Commissioner Krepke? Yeah, as part of your revitalization effort, is any of that going to include the lighted sign out front of the building? At this time, the applicant hasn't proposed a lighted sign and we would understand that that would need to be approved by the city before installing one. It's already installed, it already exists, I'm asking. Oh, you mean the slide, the slide, oh yeah. So I think, Manny, please correct me if I'm wrong, but that is something you're negotiating with the landlord. Please do speak to that if you can. Yeah, so the sign is actually, the signage is for the neighbor. It's a really old sign, it's not lit. If we were able to do something, obviously we'd like to spruce that up and bring it to code and make it look nice. I'm not sure exactly what the city would allow, but we can maybe look into that. And yeah, it's just something that I need to speak with her about in regards to whether or not she would allow us to, the landlord has given us their blessing to be able to do whatever it is that we need to do. Any other questions of the applicant before we do public hearing? Okay, so I would like to open the public hearing on this item. If you wish to make a comment via Zoom, please select the raise hand button. If you are dialing in via telephone, please dial star nine to raise your hand. Each speaker has three minutes. Countdown timer will appear for the convenience of the speaker and the viewers. Please make sure to unmute yourself when you're invited to do so and your microphone will be muted at the end of the countdown time. Um, host, do we see any? Yes, Chair, Chair Weeks, we have an Ellie. Sorry, the name about hidden right there one second. Okay. Elizabeth. Yes, I'm Elizabeth Cosine. All right, and the timer will start as long as soon as you start. Okay, you can hear me fine. Yes. Okay. All right, yeah, my name's Elizabeth Cosine and I've lived just a few blocks from this intersection. I'm on Moonlight Way off of Peterson Lane. For more than 32 years. And I've run a home-based preschool here for 30 of those years. And I just don't think this is the proper and appropriate location for another dispensary. With regards to the high school, just right up the street, I've seen the kids after school, they are flooding down Fulton Road. They come all the way down because they're heading down into the Copperfield neighborhood, down by college, you know, and so the kids are at that intersection all the time. They're all down there, they're heading into the railies and over to all the little fast food and stuff that's on the opposite corner. The other thing that's really disturbing to me about it is that the landlord rents the other half of this building to a really questionable massage parlor. And the signs that you mentioned, they definitely had as only recently was taken down, you know, the sign highlighting that had late night deep tissue massage. And the only people going into that business are, you know, men who sit in their cars and then head in there. So I just feel like it's a whole seedy situation to have just the pot shop and the massage parlor going on there at the corner. And another thing that's of concern to me is that there's just no community, I don't see the community benefit. This neighborhood is full of working class families. The Northwest just is, it's just, that's who's here. These are a lot of homes that are priced for, you know, first-time buyers and there's just families with kids. And it's just unfortunate that on this really important and vital commercial intersection in the Northwest that we can't really do something better. Let's see. It's also, this is a major entrance into Santa Rosa from the West. And I just feel like we could really do better than this. So I completely object. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Kozang. All right, next chair weeks, we have a Jesse Schwartz. Thank you. And once you start speaking, Jesse, you can unmute yourself once you start speaking the timer, we'll start. Well, thank you. Yeah, I just wanted to say I'm strongly in support of this project. I'm a business owner, grew up in Santa Rosa since I was five. And I've driven by that section my whole life. It'd be nice to have something that looks pretty on that corner. And I think it's great that it's a gateway to Sonoma County. I think that would be putting our best foot forward in how cannabis can be delivered to the community. And I think the fact that the neighborhood is what it is, it makes it a perfect place for that. Because most, and from my understanding, a lot of people use cannabis. And there's plenty of like drug stores and alcohol stores nearby. And I think there should be like a good quality, well done dispensary there. And I think it would add a lot of value to the area. And I hope, yeah, thank you guys for your time. Thank you, Mr. Schwartz. All right, next we have a phone caller with the last four digits of 0685. Hi, can you guys hear me? Yes, we can. Yes. The timer will start. I'll give you a little notification when you have about 10 seconds left since you may not be able to see the timer. Okay, no problem. Hi guys, my name's Justin Newruth. I'm friends with Manny. I also live on the west side of Santa Rosa, not far from this intersection, a little bit east on Grinville Road. I've been a West County resident for the last decade plus driven by this intersection thousands of times. Would love to see something new and fresh there. Even with this proximity to the high school, I'm very familiar with how a lot of these groups are putting these new dispensaries together. There's a lot of security. These are first class buildings. They look really nice on the facade. There's all the security measures in place. It's a highly trafficked intersection. It would be really nice to have something on this side of town where the residents don't have to, after a long day of work, travel back across Santa Rosa in traffic to get the things that they need. I personally have known Manny for over a decade. I've done business with him. I'm the former owner of the whiskey tip in Santa Rosa. He's a stand up guy, everything that he does is first class. I've followed his journey so far through the legal cannabis with his brand and everything else that he's doing. And I can assure you that this guy does everything top notch and won't be cutting any corners and wouldn't be doing anything but to benefit not only Santa Rosa, but the community surrounding this dispensary. So 100% support, anything that he's trying to do down there. Thanks guys. Thank you. Thank you. A few more hands raised. Okay. Next we have with the title of Economic Development Board Sonoma County. And if you can please state your name for the record. Yes, sorry. I don't know how my Economic Development Board went on there, but my name is Marco Suarez. I'm the past president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. And I do work for the Economic Development Board, the County of Sonoma, but I'm here as just a private citizen. I've known Manny Rivera for about 20 years and I've known him since back in, we've worked together, done an entrepreneur, he's a great entrepreneur and this is someone that I've seen his journey to get to this point of being able to have a dispensary. And I've talked to him in the past and his vision of really supporting community and supporting underserved communities, providing jobs for people of color and making sure that everything around safety, I feel very comfortable supporting Manny because he's just always been an upstanding type of person. And I really support him on this. And that's what I'm here to talk to his character and the type of person that I know that he will make sure that no children that are not allowed to be in the area or have any issues there because I know the communities that are surrounding the concerns that are there and I share those concerns, obviously we all share them but we know that I have children as well that are in elementary school, high school and currently children can get drugs at school anywhere and the dispensaries are the hardest places where you can get any type of cannabis. I mean, if you're not of the legal age, your ID, so I feel very comfortable, especially because Manny is behind this project. So I just wanted to bring, come here and support him and looking forward to at the same time, I'm really excited to see more people of color being able to run a dispensary and really represent the community and be advocating for making sure that giving jobs, especially in this industry. So it's a growing industry and thank you very much. Thank you. All right, next we have an Ann and if you can say your whole name for the record and Ann, you can speak when ready. If you're currently speaking, we are not able to hear you. I am able to see that you have a microphone and that it's showing that it's working but it looks like you just muted and unmuted. We are not able to hear you at this time. Okay, hang on just one second here. Now we can hear you. Okay, there we go. I apologize. My name is Ann Agri and I live in the adjacent neighborhood to where the proposed dispensary is going to be located. And my concern is also for Pine or High School but I am very close to Peterson Lane Park and we are often as me and all of my neighbors often having to call the police because people come to the park and they sit and they smoke their marijuana and I'm a parent and a grandparent and it's not, I don't feel safe taking my children to the park or my grandchildren to the park because there is so much of that sort of activity going on even now without a dispensary in the neighborhood. And I see that a dispensary will just increase this kind of activity. So I do not believe that it is an asset to our neighborhood and I am strongly opposed to that. So I just wanted to get my voice heard. Thank you. Thank you. I get your last name for the record. It's Agri. Thank you. And next we will have R.N. Simpson. Just one moment. And if you can please state your name for the record. Good afternoon. My name is Roger Neal Simpson. Let's see, resident of Santa Rosa since 1959. And calling in today to speak in favor of the project I drive past the location very frequently. I live just not too far to the west. And a part of the neighborhood, there's a neighborhood app that many people know about. It's what brought me the idea to be able to attend the meeting today and to call in. There was someone in the neighborhood that may have been responding to the letters that were sent out, asking people to be aware of the project and to protest the project. I found it interesting when I followed the line of people responding to the neighborhood post that 80% of the people responding were in favor of the project. I tried to go back through my phone and find so I could have a store card for you folks this afternoon. But either I'm not technically whatever be able to find it or the post has been removed, okay? So historically, I didn't ride my bicycle this far west but I know that there used to be a combination of a hardware store and a liquor store in the half of the building. And I know that for eons, the other half of the building was Antonio's bar that opened up at six o'clock in the morning. So I don't know that there's that much of a change as far as activities in the area that I'm getting off point. But as far as historic things on the building is it used to be a candy place and fudge for a long, long time. They had a nice mural that got faded. Then there was a cleaner that moved in there in the place that's been vacant for a year, year and a half. And you just be really nice to see something, see a going viable tenant in there. Thrilled to see the paint job and the return to the mural. I think it's a plus that the owner manager wants to feel feel good about people on bicycles coming and going. My suggestion is maybe they have a discount for people who come on bicycles. I don't know. But also I don't intend on being a customer. I don't believe I'll be inside the building, but every time I'm driving home, I'm looking forward to a new paint job and the flowers and everything else and the general improvement to neighborhood. So thank you very much for this afternoon. Thank you. Thank you. One moment. At this time it does not appear that anyone else is raising their hands. And we don't. Just so staff is aware, it looks like the applicant is raising their hand. Can I get some direction from staff about regarding the applicant? Actually, let me go ahead and close the public hearing at this time and bring it back to the commission. That was exactly that. I think that would be the staff recommendation. Chair Weeks. Thank you, Chair Weeks. So staff, do you have any, do you wanna respond to any of the comments made by the public and the public comment portion? So are you, thank you, Chair Weeks. Is this in regards to proximity to Pioneer High School or yes, the proximity to Pioneer High School and Peterson Lane Park? So the code does require a 600 foot distance from any K through 12 schools. This project meets that standard. Pioneer High School is more than 2000 feet away. There is no requirement for any physical distancing of cannabis retail from public parks. However, the city does have a smoking ordinance that applies to both VACO and cannabis. It's all encompassing. Thank you. And I just wanna make sure that I officially close the public hearing. So I'm officially closing the public hearing. Thank you. So bring it back to the commission. Do you have any questions for the applicant or his staff at this point in time? Then I'd like to ask somebody if they could make a motion and then we can start with discussion. Commissioner Duggan. I'll move a resolution of the planning commission of the city of Santa Rosa, approving a conditional use permit for manifest venture to operate a cannabis retail dispensary and delivery business within a 1554 square foot tenant space located at 2489 Gernbill Road, assessors parcel number 034-131-005, file number CUP20-008 and waive for the reading. Thank you. And is there a second? I'll second. Thank you, Vice Chair Peterson. That was moved by Commissioner Duggan and seconded by Vice Chair Peterson. And we'll go ahead and start our discussion. Let's start with you, Vice Chair Peterson. Sure. You know, I think we've had a pretty comprehensive presentation from the applicants. This is certainly something that is still relatively new, but I think the commission has seen quite a few of these over the, you know, since the cannabis ordinance was passed. And I think, you know, at least to my approach, things are getting a little bit more routine, excuse me. So to address some of the public comments that we got both in writing and here live, you know, I think there is a reason to be concerned about over-concentration of cannabis, both retail and production facilities in Northwest Santa Rosa. I think part of that is just inevitable. It's the location where there's a lot of commercial general zoning that allows people to do that, do that kind of work there. But the other part I want to address is, you know, one of the goals of the cannabis ordinance, you know, several years on now was to disperse these throughout the city so that you don't create sort of a red light district for cannabis so that people aren't, you know, you're not creating in, you know, you're not inducing traffic to go to the cannabis district in Santa Rosa. And so what we've seen, although not all of them have opened is a pretty good distribution throughout each quadrant of Santa Rosa. You know, we've got them as far East as sort of Lincoln Valley that at least have been approved. You know, the one that was continued, the other item that was continued today was down for in Bennett Valley. You know, we've got some on Sonoma Avenue near downtown. You know, so I think that, you know, the location of this particular cannabis dispensary doesn't raise any issues on that front for me on the overconcentration front. The proximity to schools, again, you know, there was a long debate. We still have a cannabis subcommittee about, you know, the setbacks from schools where it ended up with 600 feet. Whatever that may be in terms of appropriate or not, that is the rule that we're dealing with. So anything outside of that does meet that finding for me. I think one of the public commenters in support of this project made a good point, which is along those same lines, you know, kids, there's a grocery store across the street and there's shelves and shelves of alcohol that the kids can see right there. So I think what Santa Rosa is trying to do is to treat cannabis like a regulated legal substance, which it is under state law. And that, you know, in my mind, it's really no different than alcohol for that kind of approach of, you know, kids being exposed to it. There's a sign ordinance you can't see in. I'm sure the security that's gonna be there isn't gonna let people consume on site. And, you know, if there's a neighborhood liaison that the applicant is considering, you know, having as a role in their thing, I would hope that addressing the concerns about consumption in the park could be part of that to the extent that they're able to do anything. The sort of the safety and crime part of it, you know, everyone on the commission and staff has heard me as a broken record on this, but it's sort of counterintuitive, but what happens when you've got more eyes, even with a business like cannabis, you've got cameras, you've got security, you've got, you know, customers coming and going, is that the neighborhood becomes safer. You know, the more eyes that are out there, the better it is because what happens is that, you know, the negative aspects thrive when people, excuse me, aren't there to take a notice of it or call the police if necessary. So in my view, I can make all the findings necessary to approve this project. Thank you, Vice Chair Peterson, Commissioner Deggan. Thank you. I too can make all the findings. It's consistent with the general plan and our rules around cannabis. It's consistent with the zoning code. It meets all the state and local requirements regarding security and odors not being detectable outside the building, lighting, outside the track and trace program and the security around the trash. See, it meets all the distance requirements from schools and other dispensaries. And so I will be voting in support of the project. Thank you. Commissioner Ocracki. I too can make all the necessary findings to vote in favor of this project. That's, I mean, I'm from the Northwest area. That's my grocery stores, the railings right there. My echo, Vice Chair Peterson. Not only is there the grocery store across the street, but you have Rod and Robbie's at the Arco, which both sell alcohol and then you have the Fast and Easy Mart. So there's multiple places that actually do have signage for selling alcohol right there where campus isn't allowed to under many circumstances. I have preschool age children. So I sympathize with the speaker that brought that up. Unfortunately preschools daycares, those things are not brought into code. It's K through 12 is defined by the California Public Health Department. And so we're not a, you know, we, this is something that at least once a month, one of us says on this commission is that we are not a decision-making body. We do not make decisions for the community. We review what is put in front of us. As Commissioner Duggan said, does it meet code? Does it meet the general plan? Does it meet zoning? And then we make our decision based on that. We don't, we can't just unilaterally decide this is a bad place. You don't agree with it as to the neighbor of the proposed business. Not to make past judgment on it, but if indeed what was said is true, maybe the lighting in cameras will dissuade any nefarious acts that go on, alleged nefarious acts that happen in that area. So in wrapping up, I think the one thing that is big to me is I drive by that corner quite frequently and quite frankly, it is an eyesore. And as it is a gateway from the West and it is a major thoroughfare both going East West and North South, just the fact that it's getting revitalized and renovated is a huge plus to me. So taking all those things into account, like I said, I can make all the department findings that vote favor this application. Thank you, Commissioner Collier. I also echo my fellow commissioners and just as commissioner of crowd care was saying that we are required to make specific findings. And as commissioner Duggan mentioned as well, they're around zoning and the other findings that we need to make an eye and make all of those required findings and we'll be supporting the project. Thank you, Commissioner Carter. Yeah, I believe I can make all the necessary findings to approve this permit. And I just want to add that I believe the applicant's plans for improving the space might have some influence on the rest of the parcel. And you can see some cleaning up of that corner there. And I'm very much looking forward to it. I do drive by the intersection and it's busy and lots of eyes on the site, I think will add to the feeling of security. I also happen to end up in that part of the town on my bike a lot and I'm glad to see that the applicant is considered bike and transit in his customer base. And I think I will support the project for all of the reasons stated. Thank you, Commissioner Carter. Commissioner Holton. Hello. I'd also like to echo the sentiments of the other commissioners and I also agree to make necessary findings due to the fact that the general plan, the coding, everything is in line with what needs to be in place. But more importantly, I'd like to acknowledge the community for voicing your concerns and also voicing your support. We really appreciate you coming and trying to shed light on a situation and give your perspective. We really do value that. I also would really like to acknowledge Mr. Rivera because I think it's an amazing thing in what you're doing for the Latino community. I think it's really important for us to really start pushing this DEI model, this diversity, equity and inclusion model and to see a Latino business owner get into this avenue, I couldn't be any happier. So I also will be providing full support for this project. Thank you. And I also will be supporting the project and I can, as previously stated, make all the required findings. So with that, it was moved by Commissioner Duggan, seconded by Vice Chair Peterson and Mr. Maloney. Can you do the roll call? Yes. Commissioner Carter? Aye. Commissioner Duggan? Aye. Commissioner Holden? Aye. Commissioner Calia? Aye. Commissioner Krepke? Aye. Vice Chair Peterson? Aye. Chair Weeks? Aye. So that concludes our meeting for tonight and we'll be adjourned to the next scheduled meeting of March 11th unless I forgot something, Mr. Rose. No, I was just gonna wave goodbye to everybody. Okay, good, that's nice. Bye, everybody.
