PlanningBoard | 2020-06-22 | 6 | Staff Member Sablan said the applicant does not have anything that qualifies for design review, they would just be looking at the floor plan. Director Thomas spoke about the challenge of blocking the view of inside the store from protected groups but also making the storefront aesthetically pleasing to pedestrians. This is something they will continue to work on, to keep the windows interesting while screening them as well. Board Member Saheba was very concerned that just blocking the windows created a "dead zone" and believed the applicant could create a better option. Board Member Ruiz wanted to know where the delivery vehicles would be parked. Mr. Ngu answered they have a parking lot behind the building. Board Member Ruiz voiced similar concerns about the street window. She wanted to encourage the applicant to look at other creative ways to contribute to the pedestrian's experience on Webster. Board Member Ruiz then pointed out the proximity to another dispensary on Webster and worried they were creating an over-concentrated area. She also asked if the operating hours could be adjusted so that it would not be opened until after the first bell at Island High School. Board Member Teague asked what the operating hours of Main Street Supply were. Staff Member Sablan answered that Main Street Supply had applied for 9 am to 9 pm and the city law allows 7 am to 9 pm and that is what Alameda Patient Group had applied for. Board Member Cavanaugh asked about "shoulder tapping" and how the applicant was going to keep people from buying the product and reselling it to minors. Mr. Ngu talked about their security protocols from cameras to how products will be logged to clients at the time of purchase. Board Member Ruiz asked if staff had received any community feedback about Main Street Supply since they had been in operation. Staff Member Sablan said that they had received a complaint about the screening that had been removed. Once it had been replaced they had no other issues. Board Member Hom wanted to know if the store owners are required to make client accounts available to the police department. Mr. Ngu said yes, their POS (point of sale) data is shared with the local police department. President Curtis opened public comments. President Curtis closed public comments.
