ACTION ITEMS:

Living Green Medical Marijuana Consumer Cooperative (#379530)

Conditional Use Permit for a Medical Marijuana Consumer Cooperative to operate

in an existing 2,844 Sq. Ft. two story building located at 4417 Rainer Avenue.

Formal presentation last month with NCPI choosing not to take action since Cycle issues

were not completed. Living Green Cooperative stated they were not coming back since

they made their presentation and NCPI chose not to take action. Matt told Gutierrez (City

of SD) we were holding meeting in Dec to discuss this but we may have missed the boat.

Living Green has notice of violation since they are operating illegally. Living Green has

satisfied their requirements per City of SD Regulations. M. McSweeney believes strongly

in property rights and if you comply with the rules you should be entitled to open. Does

not personally like these businesses in neighborhood but was prepared to say yes no

matter his personal opinions. After reading Notice of Violation he became upset at the

audacity of Living Green wishing to acquire a CUP while currently operating illegally. M.

McSweeney makes motion to deny Living Green Medical Marijuana CUP application J.

Wilson seconds. Unanimous vote in favor. D. Smith supports motion after looking at

violation. L. Murray asks if their building is in violation how did their boxes get checked on

application. Was told Living Green agreed to make modifications to building. S. Grimes

echoes McSweeney comments. D. Northcutt also agrees with M. McSweeney. Not in

favor personally but land use and concern in their business model about just getting

customers in. D. Livingston has questioned how they could get approval thru planning

Dept.? Planning Dept. reviews application and check on all compliance. Hearing officer

has final determination than can be appealed to Planning Commission. J. LaRaia asks

about hearing compliance and code violations. J. Pilch speaks to his questions asked at

last meeting to applicant’s attorney. Does not feel applicant attorneys were forthright.

Drove by clinic on way to NCPI meeting and still open even though Stop Use Notice of

Violation has been issued. Rob Hall states there are impacts to neighborhoods. Asks we

exercise our responsibility and send City clear voice on issue. Judy Stray 9th District PTA

2008 AG guidelines are not being followed correctly cities are not required to regulate pot

shops. Sale and distribution of pot is illegal. Languages of guidelines need to be looked

at. Cities can ban pot shops via CA Supreme Court case. States, Planning Groups can

appeal CEQA for this application. Barbara works with youth and glad NCPI sees this

business for what it is. Need to look at these businesses closely it’s all about the money.

Cathy, a public health practitioner states SD City misunderstands State guidelines. No

background checks run, city ordinance does not ban hash oil. Ordinance only requires

guard during operating hours and what about after hours and potential robberies. Pot

farms harm the environment. M. Reed asks questions about violation and illegally so are

they not subject to criminal prosecutions. D. Smith makes sure we follow up with our

recommendation with City. Vote will be officially submitted to City tomorrow morning and

follow up call with Edith Gutierrez also. M. Adams says we are the eyes and ears of the

community and we need to look at more than just to see if land use project has checked

all the boxes. They (Living Green) are operating illegal business and are not good

neighbors and they cannot check that box and it warrants serious consideration. Going to

vote in favor of denying permit.

MMCC Review process Discussion on NCPI procedure for reviewing Medical Marijuana Co-ops.

M. Adams asks for discretion in bringing forward these prior to all cycles being checked. M. McSweeney asks where we can start. Second review appropriate place to start. J. LaRaia suggests we leave it up to planning group to decide. Do not lock us in after 1st or 2nd but be smart when they are coming forward and being good neighbor. D. Smith says building code has lot to do with approval process. S. Grimes agrees with what was said do we have any sense of how many people will come forward based on the guidelines. Can we find out how many are in application mode? M. Reed personally does not want to hear proposal if they are operating illegally and do not deserve to be heard by NCPI. What is definition of minor oriented facility? T. Cords does not understand Why Kaiser facility is not considered child oriented. Rob Hall states language for youth facility vary narrow. J. Pilch says we should wait till application process complete and can put responsibility for impediment on city. D. Smith says building has to be approved and asks if Edith Gutierrez is talking to building Dept. Community Group Reports:
