PlanningBoard | 2019-03-11 | 4 | Board Member Cavanaugh asked what percentage of their customers the applicant felt would use the lounge space. Mr. Vicker said they think it will be a small percentage. He said they are still working on the business plan for how to use that space. Board Member Cavanaugh asked how they would regulate overconsumption in the lounge. Mr. Vicker said they would need to do impairment training for employees and emulate best practices with information from various authorities. Board Member Teague emphasized that there are two parts to the cannabis ordinance, a planning portion and a building portion. He asked why the certain conditions were not included in the draft resolution. Staff Attorney Le said they have a condition that covers all applicable laws. He said it was more efficient to have that, rather than to specifically identify each requirement which could result in confusion if there were omissions. Board Member Teague said operational radius is not in the Planning Board's radius. He asked how delivery would operate, given that the facility has no dedicated parking. Mr. Vicker said they would have employees bring cases out to waiting drivers. He said they would have to secure a parking space. He said the delivery vehicles can often only come and go from the dispensary once per day because they can carry product and be dispatched remotely, unlike a pizza delivery model which requires drivers to come and go frequently. Board Member Teague asked why there were discrepancies in different documents regarding the hours deliveries may take place. Staff Member Tai said that the state allows delivery until 10pm and that Alameda's ordinance will only allow them until 9pm. Board Member Teague asked if the City has established its own operating guidelines which the state allows. Staff Attorney Le said there is a provision in the ordinance that allows staff to craft those rules in the future. Board Member Teague said he is concerned about sensitive users having to pass through a lounge full of smoke in order to access the dispensary. He said he hoped the operating guidelines would address that issue. Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 4 of 10 March 11, 2019 | PlanningBoard/2019-03-11.pdf |
