3 Summary: The applicant is requesting to operate a medical marijuana dispensary within an existing 4,153 square-foot suite in a 96,000 square-foot industrial building on a 3.89-acre parcel in the Heavy Industrial (M-2S) zone. The project requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan and Design Review. The project was approved by the Zoning Administrator and Design Director, and the decision was appealed by a third party (see Attachment 2). The appellant stated that they oppose the proposed use because it is incompatible with the nearby Industrial gas plant, Linde North America, Inc. ( Linde ), and they state the City hasn t properly analyzed the environmental and land use impacts (See Attachment 2). Staff notified all property owners within 300 feet of the site, as well as the Power Inn Alliance, for this public hearing. Table 1: Project Information General Plan designation: Industrial Existing zoning of site: Heavy Industrial (M-2S) zone Existing use of site: Industrial/Warehouse Parking District: Suburban Property area: 169,448 square feet Entitlement History: The Conditional Use Permit application for Community Health Solutions was formally submitted to the Planning Division on March 28, The proposed dispensary would occupy one suite in a multi-tenant warehouse structure in the M-2S zone. Background Information: On November 9, 2010, the Sacramento City Council adopted operating regulations (Revenue Code, Title 5) and a Conditional Use Permit requirement (Title 17) for medical marijuana dispensaries in the City. The Title 5 regulations allowed existing dispensaries desiring to operate in the City to file a Phase One application with the Revenue Division. Thirty-one dispensaries are currently in the permitting process. In addition, Revenue and Planning and Development Code regulations require that medical marijuana dispensaries file for a Conditional Use Permit. The Planning and Development Code lists locational requirements. If the medical marijuana dispensary is located in the C-4, M-1, M-1(S), M-2, or M-2(S) zones, and it complies with the locational requirements, the Conditional Use Permit can be approved by the Zoning Administrator ( ). Community Health Solutions, located in the M-2S zone, met the locational criteria and the Conditional Use Permit was approved by the Zoning Administrator on October 9, Due to the appeal of the decision of the Zoning Administrator, the project is being heard by the commission. Community Health Solutions was formerly located at 1832 Tribute Road. While operating at their former site, they obtained a Planning Commission conditional use permit (P11-044) on August 11, 2011 and operated at this former location with no issues until they closed on September of They are not currently in operation at the subject site on 88 th Street. 3

4 Public/Neighborhood Outreach and Comments: This project was noticed to the Power Inn Alliance. Early notices of the proposal were mailed to property owners within 300-foot radius of the site. The site was posted on November 7, 2014 and all property owners within 300 feet of the subject site and also the Power Inn Alliance were mailed a notification of the public hearing for the proposed project. Concerns raised in letters of opposition to the project include: 1) concern that there is an overconcentration of dispensaries in the Power Inn Area; 2) perceived increases in traffic; and 3) safety and security. Environmental Considerations: The project relates to the application for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan and Design Review to operate a medical marijuana dispensary. The dispensary would occupy a currently vacant 4,153 square foot tenant space in a 96,000 square foot warehouse building. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, consistent with statutory directive, include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which are therefore exempt from the provisions of CEQA. The proposed project qualifies under the Guidelines as an existing use: the operation, permitting, leasing of existing public or private structures involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency s determination. (CEQA Guidelines section 15301) The dispensary proposes to lease a tenant space at the site. The project entails the permitting of existing structures, and is covered by the existing facilities exemption. The proposed project also qualifies under the Guidelines as an infill project (CEQA Guidelines section 15332): The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations. See discussion regarding planning and entitlements. With approval of the Conditional Use Permit the project is consistent with all zoning and general plan regulations. The project is located within the city limits on a site of no more than five acres, substantially surrounded by urban uses. The project site is located on 88 th Street, and is adjacent to industrial uses to the north; recycling/industrial uses to the east; warehouse uses to the south; and industrial/warehouse uses to the west. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. The project site is improved with building and paved parking areas to the east, south, and west. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality. No cultivation occurs 4

5 on site, and all activities take place within the confines of the building. The activities involved in stocking and selling the product do not result in any noise or air quality emissions. The applicant has a membership of approximately 3,500 persons, and anticipates approximately 30 to 40 customers per day. The facility would employ four full-time employees (The above information was provided to staff by the operator.) The number of trips that would be generated by the facility is estimated to be about 10 AM peak hour trips (8 trips inbound and 2 trips outbound) and about 15 trips PM peak hour trips (4 trips inbound and 11 trips outbound) assuming this facility would operate as a clinic, as a worst case scenario (ITE Trip Generation Manual, 9 th edition). This number of additional trips would have no substantial impact on 88 th Street, the primary roadway that is used to access the site. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The use is allowed within the zone district with a Conditional Use Permit, and there is no substantial evidence that indicates the use would present risk factors for police or fire that would require services above and beyond those normally provided for uses within the district. The CEQA Guidelines provide that a project should not be deemed exempt if there is a reasonable possibility that the project could have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The proposed project site is located in an urban setting, and the only activities on the site would be the retail sale of medicinal marijuana. No growing or cultivation of marijuana would occur on the project site. The zoning for the site is Industrial, and the site is surrounded by industrial uses. No unusual circumstances are present that could result in a significant effect on the environment. The appeal references potential impacts relating to traffic, safety and public health. (Appeal, section I) Appellant asserts, in this regard, that traffic generated by the proposed facility would increase the risk of releases of hazardous materials. As explained in the letter from appellant s legal counsel, this risk occurs not to any materials used by the proposed facility, but to materials controlled by and transported by the appellant. (See Mitchell Chadwick correspondence dated April 25, 2014, pages 3 et seq.) Despite the appellant s assertions, no substantial evidence has been presented that indicates the employees or patrons of the proposed facility would present any greater hazards or risks to the appellant s operations than occurs in the course of present daily operations. The mere assertion of a risk or impact is not substantial evidence. Nor should a project be treated as exempt if it would have cumulative effects that are significant. The project is consistent with the 2030 General Plan land use designation, and any cumulative effects of use of the project site in a manner consistent with the general plan designation, as here, have been considered in the City s Master EIR certified in connection with the adoption of the 2030 General Plan in No substantial evidence that the project could have a significant effect on the environment has been received. The project is, therefore, also exempt from CEQA review based on the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the 5

6 potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). Policy Considerations: General Plan The 2030 General Plan designation of the subject site is Industrial, which provides for employment generating uses that includes industrial, manufacturing, office, retail, and service uses that provide support to employees. The minimum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the Industrial designation is 0.10 and the maximum is The subject site falls within the allowed FAR. The proposed project can be supported based on the following General Plan goals and policies: PHS Healthy Communities. The City shall encourage the planning of new communities and revitalization of existing urban areas to achieve improvements in overall public health by encouraging a healthier living environment that includes walkable neighborhoods, access to recreation and open space, healthy foods, medical services, and public transit. PHS Safe and Fair Practices. The City shall maintain safe and fair business operations and ensure the health and safety of the general public through enforcement of State and local health and safety statues and codes. PHS Development Review. The City shall continue to include the Police Department in the review of development projects to adequately address crime and safety, and promote the implementation of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design principles. Design Guidelines Staff believes that the project is generally consistent with the Industrial and Business Park Design Principles. The project proposes only minor exterior changes which consist of removing one existing overhead roll up door and replacing it with a storefront system with an entry door. Project Design: Conditional Use Permit Medical Marijuana Dispensary A medical marijuana dispensary requires the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (PDC Section ). The Planning and Design Commission may approve a Conditional Use Permit based on all of the following findings: A. The proposed use and its operating characteristics are consistent with the general plan; 6

7 B. The proposed use and its operating characteristics are consistent with the applicable standards, requirements, and regulations of the zoning district in which it is located, and of all other provisions of this title and this code; C. The proposed use is situated on a parcel that is physically suitable in terms of location, size, topography, and access, and that is adequately served by public services and utilities; D. The proposed use and its operating characteristics are not detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare of persons residing, working, visiting, or recreating in the surrounding neighborhood and will not result in the creation of a nuisance; E. The medical marijuana dispensary will not generate an excessive number of calls for police service compared to similarly situated businesses of the same size as the dispensary; F. The medical marijuana dispensary will not cause secondary criminal or public nuisance impacts in the surrounding area or neighborhood, including, but not limited to, disturbances of the peace, illegal drug activity, marijuana use in public, harassment of passersby, littering, loitering, illegal parking, loud noises, or lewd conduct; and G. The proposed location, size, and other development standards of the medical marijuana dispensary are consistent with state law and this code. The applicant proposes to operate a medical marijuana dispensary within an existing 4,153 square-foot tenant space within a 96,000 square-foot industrial building on a 3.89-acre parcel in the heavy Industrial (M-2S) zone. Community Health Solutions was properly registered with the City Manager pursuant to Ordinance No The site is surrounded by industrial and warehouse uses. The applicant has provided a radius map that confirms the dispensary is not located within the radius limits of any sensitive uses such as residential dwellings, schools and parks. Staff has also verified the uses within 1,000 feet radius of the site and has not identified any sensitive uses. The closest dispensary, located at 8848 Fruitridge Road, is over 1,000 feet from the site. Community Health Solutions proposes hours of operation are from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily and the operation is based on a membership system. The dispensary will only sell cannabis to legal patients. Community Health Solutions will not allow on-site consumption of marijuana, which is prohibited under SCC Chapter Members must leave the site and not consume medicine until at home or at another appropriate location. The Police Department has reviewed the security plan for Community Health Solutions and has conditioned for additional security measures for this use. Conditions relating to lighting, landscaping and security cameras were placed on the project. 7

8 Site Plan and Design Review The project requires the approval of Site Plan and Design Review with deviations to waive required parking and for review of exterior changes to the building. The Planning and Design Commission may approve a Site Plan and Design Review entitlements based on all of the following findings: A. The design, layout, and physical characteristics of the proposed development are consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan or transit village plan; B. The design, layout, and physical characteristics of the proposed development are consistent with all applicable design guidelines and development standards; C. All streets and other public access ways and facilities, parking facilities, and utility infrastructure are adequate to serve the proposed development and comply with all applicable design guidelines and development standards; D. The design, layout, and physical characteristics of the proposed development are visually and functionally compatible with the surrounding neighborhood; E. The design, layout, and physical characteristics of the proposed development ensure energy consumption is minimized and use of renewable energy sources is encouraged; and F. The design, layout, and physical characteristics of the proposed development are not detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience or welfare of persons residing, working, visiting, or recreating in the surrounding neighborhood and will not result in the creation of a nuisance. Height, Bulk and Setbacks There are no proposed changes to the height, bulk and setbacks for the subject building. Access, Circulation and Parking The main vehicular access to the subject building is via a 88 th Street from the south side of the parcel. The site contains a surface parking lot, with 63 spaces, on the east, south, and west sides of the building. The majority of the uses in the area do not generate a large parking demand and the dispensary currently has 6 existing parking space in front of their tenant space. The 4,153 square feet dispensary requires parking spaces per the retail parking requirements of the Suburban parking district, which is one space per 400 gross square feet of building. Because this new retail use requires a greater off-street parking than the previous industrial designation, the required parking is in an amount equal to the difference between the parking required of the new use (10 spaces) and the parking 8

9 that would have been required of the prior use (4 spaces). Therefore the dispensary requires 6 new parking spaces and is requesting to waive the spaces. The majority of uses in the area do not generate a large parking demand and the dispensary currently has 6 existing parking spaces in front of their tenant space. Planning staff has also visited the site on different occasions and has not observed any parking problem or lack of parking spaces for the building patrons. The dispensary will not utilize the exterior area for any storage or business-related activities, other than for use of vehicular parking. Building Design, Landscaping and Signage The applicant proposes a minimal exterior design change for the subject one-story building. The exterior change consists of removing one existing overhead roll up door and replacing it with a storefront system with an entry door. The floor plan of the dispensary includes the following: a security/check-in area off the main entrance on the south side of the building; a security door opens into the sales area; a corridor connects the sales area to an office, workshop, and staff lounge. At the Zoning Administrator and Design Director hearing, the project was conditioned for one non-illuminated attached sign not exceeding a total aggregate area of one square feet of sign for each front foot of building occupancy on the side of the front door. One detached nameplate sign is allowed on both sides of the existing monument sign. Director Hearing: The project was heard by the Zoning Administrator on September 4, Two speakers, including a representative of the appellant, expressed concern with the project. The Zoning Administrator continued the project to September 18, 2014 so that the applicant could have further discussions with concerned parties. The project was then continued again to October 9, 2014 by the applicant to allow for more discussions with concerned parties. As a result of these discussions the appellant submitted to the City suggested conditions for the project. At the October 9, 2014 hearing the applicant indicated they were in agreement with some, but not all, of the conditions submitted by the appellant. The zoning administrator reviewed every suggested condition with the parties present at the public hearing, incorporating several with modifications and omitting others that she felt were either in appropriate for the City to impose, outside of the scope of the conditional use permit or unnecessary and approved the project with conditions and based on findings of fact. Appeal: An appeal by a third party has been filed (see Attachment 2). The appellant cited that the proposed use would have traffic, safety, and public health issues that would result from the dispensary being located nearby an industrial gas plant (Linde North America Inc.) The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding warehouse and industrial uses. The majority of uses in the area do not generate a large parking demand and the dispensary currently has 6 existing parking spaces in front of their tenant space. The 9

10 use shall comply with security measures conditioned for the project to enhance safety in its operation and for the site. Based on the above, staff is in support of the project. Conclusion: Staff recommends the Planning and Design Commission approve the requested entitlements with the conditions shown in Attachment 1 since the proposed project meets the General Plan goals and policies for the Industrial designation. Furthermore, the proposal, with staff s recommended conditions of approval, is compatible with adjacent developments. Approving the project will deny the appeal. 10
