Vice President Saheba asked about where the landscaping would be located. Mr. Greene pointed out the landscaping on the design. Board Member Rothenberg wanted clarification on the hours of operation. Dr. Oram clarified that they had applied for 9 am to 10 pm but that staff had recommended 9 am to 9 pm. The recommended time was acceptable to him. Board Member Rothenberg wanted clarification from the staff on the prohibited distance from Edison Elementary and the Public Library on Oak St from the dispensary. Staff Member Sablan said that the Free Library is not considered part of the sensitive use and Edison Elementary was around 1200 to 1300 foot range, past the protected area. Board Member Rothenberg wanted to know if the Good Neighbor Policy for the dispensary was consistent with the other dispensaries that have been approved. Staff Member Sablan answered yes. Board Member Ruiz asked about the fence on the south side of the building and if it would be fully enclosed. Mr. Greene answered if the city wants it they can make that fence fully enclosed. Board Member Ruiz asked if the applicant was opposed to extending the landscaping down to the southern property and fully enclosing the site. Mr. Greene said the applicant was not opposed. Board Member Curtis wanted to know about the staff's recommendation about the operational hours. Staff Member Sablan said it was because of uniformity with other dispensaries. Board Member Curtis believed this was "micro-managing" the business by the city. If there was no objection and it was allowed by the ordinance, he believed the hours should be set by the business owner. Vice President Saheba asked what the purpose of the area of P5 and why the landscaping was designed the way it was. Mr. Greene said the width of the landscape area was a recommendation by staff and gave his thoughts about the parking area saying he was very open to other ideas from the board.
