CityCouncil | 2017-11-07 | 15 | In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquiry, the Community Development Director stated the definition of a Recreation Center is to be determined by the Department Director and can be changed. Councilmember Oddie expressed concern with allowing only one person to decide where a Recreation Center is located. The Community Development Director stated staff can adjust the map if Council would like to redefine Recreation Center. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether sending the ordinance to the Planning Board would delay adoption. The Community Development Director responded the ordinance will not be delayed; the land use piece will return to Council. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the land use piece refers to the 1,000 foot buffer and which areas can be used for cannabis. The Community Development Director responded the land use only refers to the potential areas which can house cannabis businesses; stated the buffer zones are included in the ordinance regulating the business activities. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated the Recreation and Parks Director could articulate the criteria for determining what is a Recreation Center; inquired whether the one mile separation pertains to businesses in the same business district. The Community Development Director responded in the affirmative; stated the one mile radius is intended to be between the two dispensaries permitted under the ordinance; continued the presentation. Mayor Spencer inquired whether dispensaries would be allowed on Bay Farm. The Community Development Director responded land is not zoned on Bay Farm; stated staff is not recommending allowing the use except in the zones on the map. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired why staff recommended dispensaries at Alameda Point due to the concern over federal property. The Community Development Director responded the zones are being recommended only on property that has been sold into private ownership. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she thought staff was waiting until the federal government transfers all the land at Alameda Point to not jeopardize the chance to complete conveyance.
