B
E
G
D
Passes,
thank
you.
So
the
agenda
has
been
accepted
this
this
next
time
has
been
set
aside
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
the
Planning
Commission
on
the
consent,
calendar
non
public
hearing
items
and
items
of
general
interest
interest
in
the
subject
matter
of
the
Commission.
If
you're
here
to
speak
on
cannabis,
you'll
actually
speak
during
the
public
hearing,
which
is
our
only
item.
That's
on
the
agenda
today,
if
you're
here
to
speak
on
another
item,
you
can
come
before
us
and
you'll
have
three
minutes
to
address
us.
D
E
Once
again,
good
afternoon,
mr.
chair
members
of
the
Planning
Commission,
so
before
I
start,
my
presentation
I
just
want
to
attention
on
that
on
your
dice.
There
are
three
different
documents,
so
the
first
one
which
is
a
thicker
one,
are
the
emails
that
were
received
as
part
of
the
comments
relative
to
this
project
or
relative
to
this
hearing
last
night.
Those
were
emailed
to
you
and
then
the
second
one.
E
The
lighter
one
were
received
today,
so
I'm
sure
that
you
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
go
through
that
at
this
second
one
and
then
the
third
document
on
your
dies
is
a
is
a
map
showing
the
location
and
the
distance
between
the
site
and
some
sensitive
receptors
close
to
the
area.
So
those
who
that's
what
we
have
before
you
would
you
want
to
take
a
minute
to
go
over
those
when.
D
E
So
the
item
you
have
before
you
this
afternoon
is
a
conditional
use
permit
for
a
cannabis
related
activity.
Specifically,
this
would
be
for
a
manufacturer
and
only
activated
at
this
site.
Again,
the
site
is
12:51
Montalvo
way
sweet.
A
this
building
that
was
constructed
in
right.
Around
1979
has
13
units
in
it
of
different
sizes,
switch
a
happens
to
be
one
of
the
smallest
unit,
and
that's
where
this
cannabis
facility
will
be
located
according
to
the
applicant.
There
will
be
no
cultivation,
there
will
be
no
extraction,
there
will
only
be
manufacturing
and
distribution
I
decide.
E
E
E
Suite,
a
is
2310
square
feet
in
total
and
out
of
that,
another
and
ninety
five
square
feet
of
that
unit
would
be
dedicated
to
manufacturing
577
square
feet.
Of
that
unit
will
be
dedicated
to
distribution
and
storage
areas.
Office,
space
and
breadcrumb
areas
will
account
for
738
square
feet
for
a
total
of
two
thousand
three
hundred
and
ten
square
foot
on
the
sequel
guidelines.
This
item
is
exempt
because
it
is
an
existing
facility
number
one
also.
It
does
not
rise
to
the
threshold
of
the
size
and
activities
that
will
be
taking
place
in
it.
E
E
So
what
we
have
here
this
is
the
this
is
the
the
building
itself
and,
as
I
mentioned,
there
are
13
different
units
in
the
building
this
area
right
here
and
we'll
come
back
to
that
is
the
site-specific
it's
unit
a
of
the
building.
However,
this
is
just
the
surrounding
areas
so
to
the
south
of
it
is
an
ambulance
service
and
to
the
west
of
it
is
the
Palm
Springs,
International
Airport
and
across
to
the
east
of
it
all
the
industrial
uses
in
the
area.
E
E
So
this
is
the
floor
plan
of
the
building
itself
and,
as
I
mentioned
there
about,
there
are
13
separate
units.
This
application,
this
CU
p
five-point
1478,
will
occupy
only
suite
a.
This
is
just
the
this
seat
right
here,
and
this
is
the
entire
floor
plan
and
there
are
two
Drive
approaches
to
the
Lord
is
one
to
decide
and
they're
the
one
to
do
not
of
it.
E
This
is
the
floor
plan
of
the
item
that
is
before
you
again.
There
is
the
manufacturing
area,
the
break
room,
the
offices,
the
lobby
area
and
then
the
storage
and
distribution
area.
So
this
is
sweet
a
it
is
2,000
turn
10
square
foot.
This
is
just
the
elevations
and
cross
section
on.
It
is
an
existing
building
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
according
to
city
records,
this
building
was
built
around
1979
and
these
are
just
elevations
of
the
existing
building.
E
E
E
So
I'm
showing
you
this
lab,
because
one
of
the
project,
specific
condition
that
staff
is
proposing
is
that
the
driveway
has
to
be
repaired
as
necessary
and
a
new
landscape
plan
B
sub.
That
would
be
consistent
with
the
original
landscape
plan
that
was
approved
for
this
side
prior
to
certificate
of
occupancy.
E
So
this
is
the
map
that
also
shows
where
residential
uses
and
other
sensitive
areas
are
again
I
showed
it
earlier
on
in
our
area
view,
but
this
maps
in
addition
to
residential
uses
in
the
area.
It
also
shows
where
the
location
of
existing
cannabis
businesses
are
located.
So
you
have
number
one
that
is
1
2015
sec,
you
t'v
drive,
and
so
on.
You
have
this
document
in
front
of
you
and
staff
is
recommending.
E
Should
you
vote
to
approve
this
project
to
consider
these
additional
project
specific
conditions
number
one,
that
this
facility
shall
be
restricted
to
manufacturing
and
producing
edibles?
Only
there
shall
be
no
cultivation
or
any
solvent
extraction
process
at
this
facility
and
that
no
with
chemicals
shall
be
generated
in
that
process.
Should
there
be
any
change
in
the
future
to
those
uses,
it
has
to
come
back
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
an
amendment
number
two
that
there
be
a
status
update.
E
The
status
updates
relative
to
other
control
complaints
shall
be
prepared
for
Planning
Commission
review
after
six
months
of
operational
at
economies
facility.
You
know
that
was
from
the
date
that
she
or
he
signed
off
six
months
after
then,
a
status
update
will
be
presented
back
to
the
Planning
Commission
to
review
any
cases
of
complaints
or
issues
relative
to
the
site
number
for
installation
that
the
applicant
shall
be
required
to
please
the
installations
as
necessary
in
all
the
walls
to
prevent
odors
from
escaping
from
the
facility.
E
E
Six
landscape
plan,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
on
that
the
applicant
shall
be
required
to
submit
a
landscape
plan
that
is
consistent
with
the
original
approved
landscape
plan
for
the
sides.
Seven
bicycle
racks
that
I
be,
although
the
the
parking
requirements
for
this
item
have
been
met,
staff
is
recommending
that
bicycle
racks
be
located,
I
decide
pursuant
to
section
90
306
of
our
code
and
finally,
that
inshallah
facility
to
be
provided
I,
decide
by
the
applicant
mr.
E
chair
in
add,
in
addition
to
staff
report
with
us
today,
is
the
city's
odor
control
consultant
if
lien
from
Northern
California,
and
he
was
I,
decide
today
for
an
inspection
he's
here.
To
answer
your
question
and
also
the
director
of
special
program
for
the
city,
miss
Veronica
is
also
here.
Should
you
have
any
policy
related
questions,
but
again,
I
just
want
to
really
emphasize
that
this
item
only
is
at
Suite
a
not
the
entire
building
at
1251
Montalvo
way.
E
Finally,
staffs
recommendation
is
that
the
Planning
Commission
to
adopt
a
categorical
exempt
under
the
super
guidelines,
as
stated
in
your
report
and
I
approved
the
conditional
use
permit
application
subject
to
the
attacked
conditions
of
approval,
in
addition
to
any
added
conditions
that
the
Commissioner
may
deem
fit
for
the
use.
So
for
now
that
will
conclude
my
report.
So,
mr.
chief,
you
please
call
on
them
the
other
control
expert
because
of
time
he
has
to
fly
back
to
Northern
California
at
4:00.
Look
from
Ontario
thanks,
sir
I
think.
D
You
Edward
what
what
we're
going
to
do
is.
There
will
be
a
report
from
various
staff
members
today,
because
it's
a
very
multifaceted
approach
that
we're
looking
at
this.
The
Planning
Commission
has
asked
for
an
older
expert
to
be
here.
The
older
expert
has
flown
in.
So
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
part
of
the
staff
presentation
before
we
ask
questions
is
to
hear
from
each
of
the
entities
and
then,
after
we
hear
from
each
of
the
entities
we
can
open
to
questions
to
any
of
the
staff
members
Commissioner
explain.
F
D
So,
let's
call
the
Oder
consultant
forward,
we
understand
they
were.
Staff
is
recommending
this
is
exempt,
but
we
still
require
order,
mitigation
and
odor
plan,
and
this
will
be
part
of
an
education
for
the
planning,
commission
and
the
audience
as
well
as
staff
in
your
process,
what
you
look
at
and
how
you're
applying
it
to
this
particular
facility.
So
if
you
come
to
the
microphone
and
identify
yourself
and
then
help
us
understand
your
process,.
J
H
D
H
So
what
we
do
our
Mechanical
Engineers
by
trade,
but
we
do
also
participate
in
odor
control
policy,
and
so
what
we've
done
specifically
in
terms
of
the
odor
control
is
evaluate
what
evaluate
to
what
type
of
building
what
type
of
facility
this
is
because
in
all
reality,
not
all
cannabis
facilities
should
be
treated
the
same.
There
are
some
that
emanate
more
odors
than
others.
There
are
some
much
like
this
facility
that
probably
will
emanate
very
little
just
by
the
very
fact
that
they're
bringing
in
distillate
that
has
its
terpenes
that
have
been
removed.
H
So
when
we
go
through-
and
we
look
at
that's
what
about
that,
so
we
evaluate
the
building
and
its
needs
and
a
case-by-case
basis,
because
we
can't
just
apply
a
blanket
ordinance
or
a
blanket
set
of
standards
to
a
particular
facility,
and
so
for
this
one.
What
we've
done
is
we've
walked
through
we've
met
with
the
owner.
H
We
have
asked
various
questions
about
what
will
be
produced,
what
will
be
manufactured
on-site
to
better
understand
what
what
potential
odours
will
be
present
within
the
facility
and
in
doing
so,
what
we
have
found
is
that
the
the
building
owner
is
doing
their
due
diligence
and
trying
to
minimize
odors
as
best
they
can
I
mentioned
distillate
before
the
distillate
will
have
its
the
terpenes,
the
major
odor
producing
compounds
removed
from
the
oils.
The
oils
then
come
in
in
sealed
packages.
H
So
at
each
step,
the
way
their
safeguards
have
been
put
in
place
as
a
means
to
say
to
prevent
nuisance
odors
from
emanating
from
this
facility
I'm.
In
addition
to
that,
what
we're
doing
is
providing
recommendation
in
terms
of
types
of
filtration,
as
well
as
pressure
relationships
and
tight
inside
of
the
building
as
well.
So
in
terms
of
filtration
industry.
Best
practice
is
carbon
carbon
filters
and
again,
like
most
cannabis
facilities,
aren't
all
treated
the
same.
Not
all
carbon
filters
are
treated
the
same,
there's
some
that
are
medium
level,
low
level
and
high
level.
H
A
facility
like
this
I'd
classify
as
the
medium
to
low
level
just
by
the
very
nature
of
the
operation
inside
which
is
occurring
yes,
and
he
is
in
addition
to
that.
The
owner
has
also
or
Gresham,
has
also
provided
HEPA
filters
and
pre
filters
for
those
HEPA
filters.
So
essentially,
you've
got
a
tertiary
level
of
filtration
you've
got
you've,
got
three
safeguards
there
to
to
really
remove
any
sort
of
particles,
VOCs
and
any
so
any
sort
of
contaminants
which
may
be
in
there
or
within
the
air
stream.
D
D
H
Phone
number
address
things
like
that,
where
the
nitty
gritty
really
comes
into
play
is
the
type
of
filtration,
and
so
again
we
looked
at
the
the
various
filters
that
were
put
in
place
in
their
exhaust
Airstream
of
the
building
to
treat
the
air
that
is
leaving
the
building
against
the
the
type
of
operation.
The
type
six
license,
not
necess,
and,
more
specifically
in
the
type
six,
the
the
fact
that
their
distillate
does
not
have
the
terpenes
that
are
that
are
theater
causing
compounds.
H
So
we
we
took
that
into
consideration
when
reviewing
the
application,
but
essentially
we
look
at
what
the
city
has
placed
in
terms
of
their
standards
and
ordinances
and
made
sure
that
the
applicant
has
has
hit
every
mark,
which
we
feel
that
they
have
and
and
not
only
have
they
hit
those
marks,
but
they've
gone
above
and
beyond
with
the
additive
filtration
methods.
So.
K
In
evaluating
this
particular
facility
and
all
facilities
that
are
potentially
going
to
be
housing,
cannabis
operations,
in
addition
to
looking
at
the
technology
and
the
filters
that
everything
you
discussed,
do
you
also
look
at
the
integrity
of
the
building
to
house
the
operation?
In
other
words,
some
buildings
are
built
in
much
more
securely
and
with
much
less
leakage
than
others.
This
building
has
been
built
some
time
ago
and
I
looked
at
it
today.
K
It
doesn't
look
like
it's
a
state-of-the-art
building
by
any
stretch
and,
of
course,
one
of
our
concerns
and
you've
got
roll-up
doors
which
leaked
terribly.
My
question
is:
have
you
checked
the
integrity
of
the
building,
and
are
you
satisfied
that
there
won't
be
leakage
in
addition
to
what
goes
through
the
filtering
system
that
might
get
out
into
the
environment?
If.
I
You
don't
mind
my
JTACs
at
15,000,
Matt's
business
partner.
The
existing
building
is
currently
permitted
as
a
legal
structure
and
has
odor
control
consultants.
We
don't
look,
we
don't
go
in
and
do
any
physical
testing
to
see
if
there's
any
pass-through,
membranes
or
insulation
or
caulking
levels
or
anything
of
that
matter,
I
can
tell
you.
It
looks
like
a
standard,
one-story
type,
five,
one,
our
construction
building,
which
is
probably
built
to
its
general
engineering
practices
of
the
time.
I
So
in
that
respect,
it's
probably
a
looser
building
than
normal,
but
I
think
you
see
in
the
additional
requirements
of
the
planning
commission's
recommendations
that
they
add
in
things
like
air
currents,
because
the
roll-up
doors
are
porous.
They
add
in
things
like
providing
continuous
insulation
throughout.
So
there
is
ways
to
address
it
within
the
framework
of
the
existing
codes,
but
without
re
skinning
the
building
envelope.
It
is
an
existing,
legally
structured
building
permitted,
but.
L
So
I
just
want
to
back
up
a
little
bit
because
you're
talking
about
their
plan
and
I,
don't
know
what
their
what
it
is
that
they're
manufacturing
at
this
site.
They're
odor
control
plan
talks
about
infusions.
It
doesn't
give
any
further
detail
and
there
are
many
things
that
are
missing
from
it
and
it's
not
clear
whether
or
not
some
of
these
things
needed
to
be
answered
or
or
not.
L
D
I
L
I
I
Absolutely
as
a
function
of
the
license
itself,
six
and
the
function
of
infusion-
the
excuse
me,
the
terpenes
I've
Matt
mentioned
that
are
part
of
the
process-
are
not
actually
part
of
this
building.
There's
no
cultivation,
first
of
all,
as
part
of
this
application.
So
there's
none
of
the
no
odors
generated
from
that.
I
As
far
as
the
actively
controlling
the
air
and
active
filtration
measures
that
we
take
it's
what
we
we,
we
generate
a
an
intentional
pressure
within
the
building
to
make
sure
that
all
excess
air
is
put
through
the
HEPA
and
carbon
and
pre
filtration
methodology
to
make
sure
any
pause,
any
air
that
exfiltrate
out
of
the
building
has
been
treated
completely.
So
the
the
reason
we
can
say
that
there
won't
be
objectionable
cannabis.
Odors
exiting
this
building
is
a
function
of
the
license.
It
doesn't
just
have
the
amount
of
terpenes
that
are
part
of
the
license.
F
J
F
H
I
B
F
H
I
F
F
I
F
K
D
N
Pulled
it
up
very
quickly.
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
Commission
yeah
Bureau
cams,
controlled
type,
six
permit
manufacturing
sites
producing
cannabis
product
using
non
volatile
solvents
as
opposed
to
a
type
seven
which
uses
volatile
solvents,
and
things
like
that.
So
there
are
two
different
permits
for
manufacturing
processes,
depending
on
whether
it's
volatile,
non-volatile,
soft
and.
I
And
in
the
six
and
thank
you,
the
sixth
and
seventh
are
significant
in
differences,
but
within
the
six
it's
kind
of
a
catch-all
from
the
state
level.
It
can
include
everything
from
a
conventional
commercial
kitchen,
that's
making
the
brownies
and
cookies
or
it
can
make
hard
candy
things
of
that
nature.
So
it's
what's
gonna
wind
up
happening
as
far
as
the
process.
It's
gonna
wind
up
depending
on
what
the
final
product
or
menu
items
would
be
that
they're,
providing
and.
I
If
you're
doing
it
in
your
kitchen,
it's
a
different
process,
what
happens
is
everything
final
box?
It
showed
everything's
decarboxylated
by
the
time
that
comes
into
the
way.
So
all
every
it's
been
activated,
so
you
do
when
you
don't
have
to
go
through
the
process
of
activating
the
THC
a
into
THC
it's
getting
a
little
in
the
weeds
here,
but
no,
the
these,
the
cannabis
smells
are
not
generated
through
cooking
cooking
smells
would
be
okay,.
D
D
G
I
Life
yeah,
if
you'll
forgive
me,
a
greater
explanation
of
difference
of
type
six
and
type
seven
type:
six
is
non-volatile.
Manufacturing
type,
seven
is
volatile
things
like
butane,
pentane,
hexane,
so
not
type.
Six.
The
extraction
method
is
usually
one
of
a
million
co2.
It's
it's
non
volatile
solvent,
so
it
could
be
co2,
it
could
be
water,
it
can
be
ethanol,
it
could
be
a
multitude
of
things,
none
or
airborne
none
or
none
or
none
recurring
on
this
prop
on
this
application.
I
think.
E
J
H
And
I
feel
like
we're,
also
missing
a
step
in
the
chain
here
too,
because
what
ends
up
happening
is
the
first
step
in
before
they
get
to
the
applicant.
Before
these
oils
actually
get
to
the
applicants.
Hands
are
it
goes
through
cultivation,
it's
grown,
it's
trimmed,
it's
processed,
it's
broken
down,
then
it
goes
through
an
extraction
process
where
the
oils
are
then,
as
Jay
mentioned,
decarboxylate
are
the
plants
decarboxylated
and
we.
H
K
K
The
last
time
we
asked
we
were
asked
by
staff
for
a
category
or
categories
emption
that
was
with
respect
to
C
ups
at
capture
plaza,
so
that
each
each
applicant
didn't
have
to
go
through
the
Cu
B
process
and
pay
the
fee
we're
sort
of
blanketing
in
if
it
was
in
the
Cu
P
ordinance
for
use,
they
wouldn't
have
to
go
through
it.
Is
that
what
you're
trying
to
get
us
to
do
here
with
respect
to
the
other
units
that
we'll
have
cultivation.
N
No,
our
understanding
is
that
this
CEP
application
is
before
you
standing
on
its
own
on
its
own
facts,
its
own
unit,
and
that
any
future,
whether
they
be
cultivation
or
other
facilities
in
the
other
units
within
this
building,
will
be
brought
to
you
as
separate
C
UPS,
there's
no
for,
like
better
term
piggybacking
of
the
sea.
He
offers
this.
K
One
thing:
I
was
there
today
and
I
went
into
suite
G
there's
lots
of
construction
going
on
in
suite
G,
and
the
contractor
was
very
happy
to
tell
me
how
they
were
making
it
possible
to
cultivate
cannabis
in
Suite
G.
Now
we
haven't
had
anything
come
before
us,
and
I
was
quite
surprised
to
see
that
that
work
is
progressing
in
areas
that
we've
not
reviewed
at
all.
E
And
also
mr.
chair
I
can
inform
you
that
we
that
did
not
go
through
any
review
process
and
there
will
be
no
certificate
of
occupancy
unless
it
goes
through
this
process.
It's
still
very
clearly
in
the
code
that
a
CEP
approval
is
required
by
the
Planning
Commission
prior
to
the
operation
of
a
cannabis
facility
in
that
zone,
so
that
we,
as
the
ICA
attorney,
does
mention
those
we
come
before
you
a
separate
application.
It
is
a
fact
that
we
do
have
two
other
applications
for
that
address.
D
F
F
Have
you
noted
noted
that
in
the
past
I'm,
assuming
it's
some
sort
of
bad
insulation
that
is
between
the
studs
I,
don't
know
what
kind
of
wall
it
is?
You
said
type
five
to
me.
That
means
would
frame
with
an
exterior
scan
and
interior
scan.
So
you're
saying
that
insulation
between
the
exterior
studs
is
that
which
what
you're
understanding
is
the.
F
F
H
I
O
F
No
I
I
get
all
that
now.
We're
talking
about
odor
exfiltration
here,
okay-
and
you
had
mentioned
that
the
drawings
and
and
and
the
documents
that
have
been
submitted
by
the
applicant-
adhere
to
the
city's
requirements
for
this
type
of
operation.
Do
you?
Is
it
your
professional
pain
that
the
city's
requirements
are
adequate
in
controlling
odor
I.
I
Think
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
has
done
a
great
job
in
addressing
this.
We
go
all
throughout
after
California.
Seeing
this
and
it's
not
addressed
quite
it'll,
quite
a
bit
everywhere.
I
think,
there's
more
to
do
and
we've
been
working
with
staff
in
order
to
provide
a
new
proposal
to
the
city,
to
find
enforcement
procedures
and
quantify
all
measurements
quantifiable
measurements
to
make
sure
that
what
we
are
preparing
for
in
the
sea
ups
and
in
the
code
is
actually
carried
out
for
the
community.
F
F
H
F
In
previous
approvals,
I
know
we're
not
supposed
to
well
in
previous
approvals
of
facilities,
and
one
was
a
baking
facility
and
I.
Don't
think
I
think
this
paya
levels
six
permit
as
well.
You
were.
It
was
last
time
we
required
that
applicant
to
build
a
wall
in
front
of
the
roll-up
door.
If
you
recall
my
correct
on
that,
yeah.
I
F
Yes,
it
was,
we
allowed
a
man
door
next
to
the
roll-up
door
or
actually,
in
that
case
we
we
told
her
to
put
a
roll-up
man
door
in
in
the
wall
that
was
gonna,
be
built
in
board
from
the
roll-up
door,
because,
obviously,
when
you
have
a
roll-up
door,
even
with
a
fan
fly
fan
it
a
lot
of
air
is
going
to
escape
so
I'm,
not
what
you
were.
One
of
you
was
on
that
call,
I
think
it
was
you
and,
and
so
I'm
wondering
having
that
as
a
solution
and
just
for
baking.
H
I
I
I
L
H
Minimum
also
in
terms
of
engineering,
we
never
just
engineer
to
the
the
level
that's
required.
We
always
go
above
and
beyond
almost
as
a
factor
of
safety.
The
same
way
that
every
steel
beam
every
everything
in
this
building
has
a
factor
of
safety
built
in
so
when
I
say
medium
to
low
level,
filter,
I'm,
building
in
a
factor
of
safety
to
to
comply
with
the
odors.
I
And
in
the
world
of
cannabis,
licensing
from
one
to
twelve
throughout
there's
about
I,
think
there's
about
17
I
would
rank
probably
type
six
and
distribution
as
minimal
odours
of
any
sort
whatsoever
and
cultivation
is
number
one,
and
it's
in
comparison
to
cultivation
to
type
six
licensing
its
worlds
apart.
There's
minimal
odors
generated
so.
L
L
The
reason
I
asked
is
because
this
application
questions
it
says
that
we
need
to
have
a
maintenance
plan
and
include
a
description
of
all
of
these
things,
but
that's
not
in
this
application.
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
spots
in
this
application
that
we
don't
have
information
on
and
why
that's
acceptable
when
you
were
reviewing,
is
if
there's
a
reason,
that's
great.
If,
if
not
I'm
just
concerned
that
we
don't
have
a
full
application
in
front
of
us,
I.
L
One
of
the
last
pages
there's
as
maintenance
plan
timeline
for
implementation
of
odor
mitigation,
I
understand
that
you're
saying
that
there's
minimal
odor,
but
if
we
need
to
have
these
things,
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
review
them.
Just
so,
I
can
understand
that
this
applicant
is
taking
these
things
seriously
and
that
you,
as
the
consultant,
have
also
reviewed
it.
I
Really
should
we
should
provide
that
actual
list
it'll
be
a
blank
sheet,
but
it
should
say
date,
a
filter
check,
data,
filter,
replace
data
filter
check
and
that
should
be
based
on
the
actual
filter,
which
would
be
premature
at
this
level
because
we're
not
nobody
specifying
any
products
at
this
level,
it's
more
theoretical.
So
it
is
addressed
in
here
directly
under
the
comment
that
they
are
providing
a
maintenance
plan,
but
that
would
typically
specific
to
the
actual
model
number
filter
that
they
would
have.
But
we
Amanda
the
mandate.
They
require
a
where.
L
H
L
G
To
is
it
important.
Do
you
think
is
important
that
the
rooftop
units-
you
know
they
are
conditioning
units
that
the
applicant
is
planning
to
use
that
these
units
are
directly
above
the
unit,
the
tenant
space
that
they're
using
and
they're,
not
somewhere
else,
and
then
they
have
deducted.
You
know
through
other
spaces.
G
A
H
G
I
I
G
And
in
the
indicates
that
if
we
was
on
the
roof-
and
there
was
a
outdoor
intake-
okay,
you're
saying
that
in
this
odor
plan
there
are
two
other
filtering
systems,
so
any
air
that
comes
in
or
exhaust
this
out
is
going
to
be
filtered.
That's
what
this
odor
control
plan
says
and
that's
what
you
are
you
recommend
to
abide
by
these
order,
control
plans,
correct.
G
I
You
can
certainly
test
air
leakage
in
a
building.
It
is
quite
an
expensive
and
arduous
process
in
air
door
test.
I'm
not
really
aware
of
I,
really
I'm
sure,
there's
a
performance
standard
that
they
all
adhere
to
and
that's
the
published
data
I'm
sure,
but
specifically
to
the
building.
I,
don't
know:
okay,.
G
Then
the
third
question:
if
you
look
at
that
floor
plan
there,
you
see,
there
are
two
doors,
one
from
the
storage
product,
storage
and
the
other
one
from
the
package
area.
You
see
those
okay,
so
we
we
do,
recommend
that
those
doors
have
air
filter.
If
we're
trying
to
keep
the
product
odor
in
inside
of
the
conditioned
space,
no.
E
G
I
I
Yeah
I
apologize
if
that's
coming
through
air
doors,
aren't
built
for
odor
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
about
relying
on
an
air
door
technology
for
odor
control.
To
be
honest,
anyway,
air
active
air
control
has
done
through
pressure
relationships
and
mechanical
means,
and
while
an
air
door
is
that
they
are
conventionally
typically
used
to
prevent
from
pests
from
getting
into
a
building
to
prevent
air
conditioned
exchange
dust,
the
air
door
manufacturers
do
mention
odors,
but
without
a
doubt
between
you
mean
the
fence
post.
It
is
not
their
primary
use.
G
I
I
D
K
I
I
It's
probably
like
a
lotion
or
like
yeah,
it's
yeah,
they're,
the
it
they're.
This
cannabis
distillate
is
inert
in
nature
and
smell
yeah,
so
yeah
the
same
thing
in
the
type
6
manufacturing
and
distillates
and
tinctures
would
be
similar.
There's
hardly
any
noticeable
smell.
I've,
never
noticed
it.
Thank.
D
Chair
mosey,
any
more
questions.
If
you're
able
to
stay,
that's
great
I
want
to
thank
you
very
much,
the
obviously
we
are
reacting
to
some
legislation
that
law
cannabis
to
come
in
were
in
a
huge
learning
curve
on
all
of
this,
and
some
of
the
first
ones
that
went
in
had
very
negative
impacts
on
the
city.
So
we're
getting
up
to
speed
to
not
recreate
not
to
have
those
impacts
happen
again.
So
if
the
questions
seem
very
direct,
no,
that's
not
personalized
that
we're
just
trying
to
exact
information.
I
D
You
very
much
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
then
continue
a
little
bit
with
the
staff
presentation,
so
we
can
open
it
up
to
bigger
questions
and
I
would
actually
like
our
city
attorney,
to
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
the
Cu
P
process.
How
this
UPA
process
is
applied
to
here,
and
what
kind
of
our
options
are.
N
Thank
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
Planning
Commission,
you
know,
as
you
know,
we
are
here
on
us
a
conditional
use
permit
application
for
this
specific
site
this
specific
unit.
In
fact,
as
I've
mentioned
earlier,
when
you
consider
conditional
use,
permit
or
any
sort
of
land
use
entitlement,
it
is
site-specific
each
application
you
take
on
its
own
merits,
pluses
or
negatives,
and,
as
we've
been
discussing
here,
you
know
odor
and
odor
issues
with
this
particular
application.
N
The
reason
I
want
to
just
discuss
this
briefly
is
because
I
did
see
a
great
deal
of
comments
that
were
submitted
by
members
of
the
public
and
I'm
sure
we'll
be
hearing
from
them
later,
proposing
some
changes
to
city
policy,
about
distance
restrictions.
Things
like
that
I
just
want
to
emphasize
to
the
Commission
that
at
this
moment
you
have
law
before
you
we're
gathering
the
facts
of
this,
and
then
you
render
a
decision
applying
the
law
to
these
specific
facts.
N
Any
discussions
concerning
future
policy
of
the
city,
distance
restrictions
requiring
all
cannabis
disabilities
to
be
in
new
buildings,
as
opposed
to
existing
buildings.
Those
are
questions
of
policy
which
we
can
bring
certainly
to
the
council,
and
the
council
can
discuss
those
and
then
policy
can
be
changed
possibly,
but
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
it
again.
Each
application
you
take
on
its
own
merits
as
a
to
approving
or
denying
an
application
because
of
an
agreement
or
disagreement
with
general
city
policy.
N
D
N
Whenever
the
Planning
Commission
makes
either
affirmative
or
negative
findings
concerning
a
permit,
they
generally
need
to
be
backed
up
by
factual
findings.
If
the
Planning
Commission
believes
that,
based
on
the
facts
presented
in
this
hearing
that
the
findings
can
be
made
for
a
Cu
P,
then
the
Planning
Commission
can
certainly
approve
that
if
the
Planning
Commission
believes
that,
based
on
the
facts,
those
findings
cannot
be
made
than
you
can
deny.
N
A
third
option
would
be
that
if
you
don't
believe
that
you
have
enough
facts
to
render
a
decision
today,
the
Commission
could
also
continue
this
item
and
ask
staff
to
perhaps
perform
some
more
analysis.
This
is
being
processed
on
a
class-3
sequa
exemption
at
the
current
time.
That's
what
we
call
a
categorical
exemption,
which
means
as
a
general
rule,
these
types
of
projects
do
not
create
environmental
impacts.
However,
the
exemption
is
not
absolute.
N
If
this
Commission
believes
that
more
analysis
should
be
done,
you
could
direct
staff
to
do
a
broader,
sequa
analysis
of
this
project,
and
then
we
can
bring
back.
You
know
what
we
find
out
on
the
sequel,
although,
as
we've
heard,
we
do
have
some
professionals
in
the
room
who
have
already
been
talking
to
us
about
odor,
which
really
seems
to
be
the
the
major
concern
with
these
facilities
at
this
time.
But
those
are
generally
the
options
available
to
the
Commission,
depending
on
how
it
sees
the
facts.
Thank.
D
P
Name
is
Veronica
could
hurt
I'm
the
director
of
the
office
of
special
programs,
it's
a
relatively
new
department
that
oversees
our
cannabis
and
vacation
rentals
for
the
city.
We
are
currently
working
on
revising
ordinance,
we
rise
and
so
needs
working
with
other
departments
within
the
city
to
improve
what
we
have
currently
in
place.
P
D
E
D
N
Well,
I
can
read
for
the
Planning
Commission
the
City
Council
staff
report
for
tonight
and
discuss
it,
identifies
eight
items
of
a
discussion
concerning
cannabis:
moratorium,
update
cannabis,
separation,
distance
concentration
of
use,
City,
Council
waivers
taxes
of
cannabis,
odor
control,
update
new
versus
existing
buildings,
social
equity
update
cannabis,
marketing
enforcement
and
then
there's
a
catch-all
for
other
topics.
That's
what's
identified
in
the
staff
report
as
topics
for
conversation
this
evening,
I
the
sense
just
from
discussing
with
staff.
N
K
I
wonder
if
it's
appropriate
for
us
to
continue
to
consider
the
cases
that
raised
the
same
issues
that
council
is
addressing
before
council
has
had
a
chance
to
more
definitively
weigh
in
on
these
things.
I
know
it's
I
know,
that's
really
not
the
way
we
should
proceed,
but
this
is.
This
is
a
big
issue
in
terms
of
quality
of
life
for
our
residents.
Yes,.
N
Commissioner
Donna
Bell,
you
know,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
if
the
Commission
feels
that
they
need
additional
information
in
order
to
render
a
decision.
An
option
is
to
continue
this
item
for
a
time
and
then
you
know
see
if
additional
facts
come
out.
I
had
talked
about
odor
and
sequin
alysus,
and
things
like
that.
But
another
fact
that
the
Commission
may
want
to
consider
is
what
direction
is
the
council
going
on
this
long
term?
Are
we
going
to
get
any
sort
of
a
sense
this
evening
after
the
council
meeting?
K
I
think
it'd
be
a
terrible
disservice
to
the
residents
are
hear
from
mainly
escena
half
a
mile
away
if
the
distance
requirement
is
broadened
and
we've
and
it's
within
a
larger
parameter
that
would
not
have
been
approvable
if
it
in
fact
today,
it's
it's
quite
a
disservice
to
them.
I
would
think
to
move
that
quickly
when
things
are
imminent,
that
could
really
change
change.
The
outcome
for
some
of
these
communities.
F
N
As
I
joke
with
clients
all
the
time,
if
I
had
a
psychic
crystal
ball,
I'd
have
a
higher
billing
rate
hard
to
predict.
You
know
not
knowing
precisely
where
the
council's
Direction
is
going
to
be
this
evening.
It's
a
little
difficult
to
speculate,
but
if
they
do
give
a
strong
direction
to
write
a
revised
ordinance
I
think
we
could
turn
that
around
fairly
promptly.
I
would
think.
Oh
within
you
know
a
month,
or
so
we
could
have
revised
regulations
ready
to
go,
and
then
it
would
be.
N
You
know
how
the
city
decides
to
process
that,
whether
it
would
go
through
the
standard
zoning
ordinance
process,
which
would
be
Planning,
Commission
and
council,
perhaps
done
by
an
urgency
ordinance.
That's
always
a
legal
option
which
would
speed
up
the
process,
because
that
just
goes
up
to
the
council
on
one
reading.
It
does
not
go
to
the
Planning
Commission,
so
there
are
ways
that
that
could
be
expedited
again
absent
direction
from
the
council.
I'm
just
speculating
no.
F
N
F
E
I
I
think
that
means
Veronica
is
better
equipped
to
answer
that
question,
but
that
is
the
initial
permit
that
is
issued
to
an
applicant
when
they
come
to
the
city,
so
that
allows
them
to
obtain
the
state
permit.
If
I'm
right,
the
state
state
state
state
of
California
also
issues
a
primary,
but
first
an
applicant
will
have
to
get
that
administrative
or
regulatory
primate
and
that's
even
prior
to
Cu
P.
So.
E
P
Regulatory
permit
is
simply
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
reviewing
the
initial
application,
the
background
of
the
applicant
and
determining
that
that
applicant
is
suitable
to
pursue
a
cannabis
business
in
the
city.
There's
no
land
use
entitlement
tied
to
that
initial
administrative
permit.
The
administrative
permit
is
their
approval
to
make
application
to
the
state,
while
they're
going
through
all
their
land
use
entitlements
to
pursue
their
state
license
and.
P
P
The
reason
the
city
opted
to
start
with
the
regulatory
permit
is
the
firt.
During
the
first
year
of
permitting,
which
was
last
year,
the
state
was
issuing
temporary
licenses.
The
temporary
licenses
that
were
granted
by
the
state
did
not
require
the
thorough
process
that
now
the
annual
permits
are
requiring.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
will
be
visit
in
the
future
is
eliminating
issuing
this
regulatory
permit
first
and
ensuring
that
all
applicants
that
all
land
use
entitlements
prior
to
the
regulatory
permit,
because
the
state
process
has
changed.
F
P
That
process
was
dependent
on
how
quick
the
applicant
was
to
complete
their
background
and
then
have
their
initial
application
materials
reviewed
by
the
department's.
It
typically
can
take
between
four
to
eight
months,
depending
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
how
active
the
applicant
was
to
complete
their
background
check
and
ensure
that
all
the
materials
were
complete,
but.
G
For
staff,
so
the
Oder
plan
that
has
been
submitted
as
part
of
the
package
and
the
Planning
Commission
resolution
draft
to
me
seems
that
there
is
not
a
condition
here
that
actually
says
that
the
Oder
plan
that
has
been
submitted
is
what
is
going
to
be
implemented.
It's
it
generally
says
that
an
order
prevention,
you
know,
according
to
the
section
of
Palm
Springs
ordinance,
so
a
plan
number
four
ordered
prevention.
G
E
That
condition
and
soul,
as
I
stated
earlier,
in
addition
to
all
the
conditions
that
you
have
in
that
document
before
you
and
in
addition
to
those
project,
specific
conditions
that
staff
talked
about
earlier
on,
I
also
stated
that
that
would
those
would
be,
in
addition
to
any
other
condition
that
the
condition
may
deem
necessary
for
this
proposal.
Okay,.
G
And
then
just
I
think
it's
more
of
a
technicality
but
under
the
Cal
Green
requirements,
calculating
code
requirements,
I
think
it's
more
of
a
blanket
situation
in
which
they
do
say
that
if
this
is
a
grow
facility,
grow
rooms,
grow
lights,
I
think
those
references
do
not
apply
to
this
project.
Correct.
That's.
J
J
J
E
J
G
G
E
E
D
D
L
Question
about
these
I
know:
I
understand
that
the
other
facility
is
not
on
the
agenda
right
now.
However,
one
of
the
things
here
and
the
engineering
thing
says
that
the
facility
does
not
have
cultivation
process
is
co-located
on
the
site.
However,
it's
possible
that
this
cultivation
site
will
come
and
then
I'm,
assuming
that
would
be
considered
a
co-located
on
the
site,
because
it's
within
the
same
building
what
we
then
need
to
have
our
odor
consultants
come
in
and
do
another
absolutely.
Q
B
D
Wow
I
really
want
to
thank
veronika
for
coming.
Thank
you
very
much
and
you're
more
than
welcome
to
stay
during
our
debate.
There
may
be
more
questions.
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
people
in
the
audience
we
want
to
get
to
it,
but
before
we
do
that,
I
took
away
from
our
time
to
review
the
written
comments
that
we
had
received
and
I
would
like
to
give
ourselves.
D
Maybe
five
minutes
to
review
those
comments,
because
they're
very
important
and
they're
entered
into
the
record
and
part
of
the
decision-making
process
not
to
hold
anyone
in
the
audience
from
testifying.
So
I
would
like
to
take
five
minutes.
Just
a
five-minute
break
to
review
those
comments
and
we'll
reconvene
at
10:00
till
thank
you
and
does
the
audience
have
access
to
those
comments
if
they
want
to
read
them,
do
we
have
copies
of
them.
D
B
D
D
We
have
received
an
enormous
amount
of
letters
and
it
looks
like
there's
an
enormous
amount
of
people
in
the
audience
that
want
to
speak
to
us
today
on
this
issue.
We
have
a
city
council
meeting
in
this
chamber
tonight,
we're
supposed
to
vacate
by
4:00
I,
don't
know
if
we'll
be
able
to
do
that
or
not
I'll
do
the
best
we
can.
D
J
I
just
wanted
to
say,
I
think,
based
on
what
you've
all
heard
today.
Of
course,
you're
welcome
to
share
your
concerns
about
policy,
but
we
have
no
control
over
policy
at
this
point.
That's
something
that's
going
to
be
discussed
tonight.
I
mean
if
I,
if
I
were
in
the
audience.
I
would
probably
wait
and
talk
to
the
council
tonight.
But
of
course
you
can
say
whatever
you
want,
we're
glad
to
hear
it,
and
thank
you
for
coming
so.
E
D
R
My
name
is
Gresham
I
am
the
CEO
and
owner
of
curiously
Inc
I'm
David
accost
I'm,
the
architect
on
this
project
and
before
I
get
into
the
the
written
statement.
I
just
want
to
address
two
things:
real,
quick.
First,
thank
you
to
Edward
for
working
so
hard
with
us
on
this
project
and
also
to
Veronica
the
City
Attorney's
Office
she's,
been
amazing
to
work
with
throughout
this
process
and,
of
course,
to
the
Commission.
R
Thank
you
guys
for
being
here
for
the
single
agenda
item
and
hopefully
we'll
wrap
up,
but
and
also
to
the
odor
consultants,
want
to
say
thank
you
to
them
they've
instrumental
and
we
did
a
site
walkthrough
earlier
this
morning
on
the
on
the
project.
So
we
worked
with
them
on
that
I'm.
The
second
thing
I
want
to
just
mention
real
quick
is
just
to
clarify.
There
is
no
cultivation
going
on
in
this
facility
and
there's
no
extraction
going
on
at
this
facility.
This
is
just
infusion
of
cannabis,
soil.
R
That's
it
for
this
particular
facility,
a
little
bit
about
about
me,
I'm,
a
small
business
owner
originally
from
Wisconsin
that
ran
a
visual
effects
company
in
Los
Angeles.
For
many
years,
I
grew
tired
of
Hollywood
producers
in
the
stress
that
came
along
from
emergency
deadlines,
so
I
decided
to
leave
the
entertainment
industry
to
do
something
less
stressful,
where
I
could
help
others.
The
jury's
still
out
on
that.
This
project
is
a
direct
response
to
people
having
stress
and
needing
a
healthy
way
to
manage
it.
R
R
Today
we
have
received
our
administrative
permit
from
the
city,
as
well
as
our
approval
from
the
state's
regulatory
agency,
the
manufacturing
cannabis
safety
branch
to
operate,
penny
land
use
entitlements
here
in
Palm
Springs
over
the
long
term,
we
plan
to
create
between
10
to
12
jobs
at
this
location,
hiring
locally
for
those
jobs.
I
have
attended
several
city
council
meetings,
cannabis
subcommittee
meetings
in
Planning,
Commission
meetings
surrounding
concerns
about
cannabis,
businesses,
and
we
are
sensitive
to
those
I
like
to
address
a
couple
of
those.
R
Now
odor
an
odor
control
I
would
like
to
clarify
that
our
process
of
infusion
comes
from
purchasing
wholesale
cannabis
oil
from
another
manufacturer
and
used
for
infusion.
This
oil
will
have
the
terpenes
removed
prior
to
us
receiving
it.
Terpenes
are
the
compounds
responsible
for
odor
because
terpenes
have
been
removed.
There
is
zero
smell
associated
with
the
oil,
as
well
as
our
cooking
process.
R
While
there
is
no
smell
associated
with
our
process,
we
will
be
going
above
and
beyond,
what's
needed
to
ease
the
community's
concerns.
The
interior
walls
will
be
separated
from
the
exterior
wall
of
the
building
and
insulated
to
mitigate
air
migration.
We
will
also
be
installing
an
odor
control
system
in
line
to
our
HVAC
system.
Again,
these
things
are
not
needed
since
there's
no
smell
associated
with
the
process,
but
a
direct
response
to
help
alleviate
concerns
over
odor.
R
Regarding
public
access
to
the
facility,
there
will
be
no
public
access
at
all
to
our
facility.
There's
a
roll-up
door
located
at
the
back
of
the
space
where
it
butts
up
against
the
airport.
This
will
be
used
seldomly,
roughly
one
to
two
times
per
week
and
only
open
for
15-20
minutes.
At
a
time.
The
area
directly
inside
the
roll-up
door
will
not
have
any
cooking
equipment
in
it
and
there
is
a
partition
wall
that
goes
up
to
the
ceiling
to
ensure
it
is
a
separate
area.
R
While
reviewing
the
Planning
Commission
report,
we
are
requesting
that
two
planning
department
conditions
be
striked.
The
shower
facility
applicant
shall
provide
employees
shower
facility
at
the
site,
while
this
may
be
appropriate
for
a
cultivation
facility.
This
is
unnecessary
for
our
planned
activities.
Cooking
staff
will
already
be
using
GMP
good
mana
Fanta
manufacturing
practices
and
adhere
to
state
health
code
when
appropriate,
with
appropriate,
clean
attire.
R
The
item
ere
curtains.
There
shall
be
air
curtains
at
the
exterior
entrances
to
the
building,
we're
not
sure
the
reasoning,
the
air.
Well,
we
heard
a
little
bit
of
that
that
it
was
related
to
odor.
Was
the
the
reasoning
for
that
comment,
I
believe,
but,
as
we
heard
earlier,
it's
not
an
effective
way
to
mitigate
odor
with
those
systems
and
that
will
be
used
by
the
HVAC
system.
It
it's
an
excessive
expense
and
berta
cent
burdensome
to
the
business.
R
That's
my
plan
statement
and
there
was
just
a
couple
other
questions,
I'd
like
to
clarify
from
the
Commission
during
the
previous
talk.
Why
did
we
not
add
details
of
the
products
to
the
documentation
now?
The
reason
we
didn't
do
that
is
because
I
believe
the
Cu
PSR
four
allowed
to
have
public
access
or
public
document
requests.
R
R
Let's
see
what
I
just
have
two
other
notes
here:
the
maintenance
plan.
Why
is
that
not
there
to
clarify
on
the
maintenance
plan?
The
reason
we
did
not
have
that
is
because
we're
still
going
through
the
construction,
the
the
documents
that
go
into
to
the
building
department
for
the
HVAC
system,
those
are
being
drafted,
and
once
we
were
to
receive
our
CEP,
we
would
submit
those
to
the
building
department
and
then
those
systems
are
specked
out
in
that
process.
R
So
that's
when
we
can,
you
know
hone
in
on
the
the
system
as
well
as
back
into
the
maintenance
schedule
for
that.
But
yes,
it
would
be
a
routine
kind
of
changing
of
the
the
filters
based
on
the
manufacturers
recommendations
for
that
there
was
a
question
about
tinctures
vers,
hard,
candy
candy.
The
only
difference
between
tinctures
and
a
hard
candy
and
related
to
odor
would
be
that
you
might
have
a
little
bit
more
odor
with
a
tincture.
That's
a
medical
grade
tincture
because
they
would
potentially
have
the
terpenes
located
in
that
tincture.
R
So
the
hard
candy
again,
the
reason
we
don't
have
these
odor
producing
things
and
our
product
is
because
they
do
exactly
that
they
create
odor
and
our
product,
and
we
don't
want
that.
So
again,
there
is
zero
compounds
that
we
are
bringing
on-site
that
will
produce
odor
and
I
we're
going
above
and
beyond
with
the
filtration
system,
to
really
be
sensitive
to
the
community's
concerns
over
odor
I'm.
Here
for
any
questions
you
have
we'll,
probably
you.
D
Come
back
up,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
being
prepared
and
being
concise
into
the
point
that
it's
very
much
appreciated.
We're
now
on
the
public
comments
and
join
our
people
signing
in
when
they
give

public
comment.
Okay.
So

you
have
got
public
comments,
you
can
come
up
one
at
a
time
state
your
name
for
the
record
and
Joanne
has
a
sign-in
sheet.
Please
sign
yeah!
If
you,
if
you
want
to
line
up
against
the
wall
or
join,
do
you
want
to
call
people
join?
D
Q
Afternoon,
thank
you
for
listening
to
me
all
of
you
on
the
Planning
Council.
My
name
is
there
Dean,
Thompson
and
I
am
the
chairperson
of
the
escena
neighborhood
organization.
Haseena
is
a
neighborhood
composed
of
about
450
homes
with
the
potential
for
700
more
today,
you
are
considering
granting
a
conditional
use
permit
for
curiously
incorporated
to
manufacture
cannabis
products
in
an
existing
industrial
facility.
Q
Odors
and
these
odors
can
flow
out
of
the
building
and
into
escena
and
other
surrounding
neighborhoods
we're
only
a
half
a
mile
from
this
site
and
have
already
experienced
bass,
sounds
flowing
into
a
Cena
from
the
splash
music
concerts
at
the
air
museum,
which
is
about
the
same
distance
in
the
same
direction.
The
proposed
building
on
Montalvo
way
is
old,
very
poorly
maintained
and
a
modest
structure.
The
building
will
not
ever
be
completely
air
leak-proof.
Q
Without
extensive
remodeling,
the
city
of
Palm
Springs
has
tried
to
limit
odors
by
requiring
cannabis
cultivation
facilities
to
install
air
scrubbers
to
mitigate
the
odor.
To
date,
the
technology
delimit
odors
leaking
from
existing
buildings
is
not
fully
effective
and
the
odor
protection
plan,
which
is
part
of
this
plan,
does
not
detail
extensive
remodeling,
other
cannabis
cultivation
and
manufacturing
facilities
in
Duluth,
Park
and
Desert
Highlands
have
proved
this
to
be
true
residents
in
the
area
up
to
one
and
a
half
miles
must
now
keep
their
doors
and
windows
closed
at
all
times.
Q
To
keep
these
strong
odors
out
of
their
houses.
We
have
been
told
that
realtors
may
be
asking
homeowners
in
these
areas
who
want
to
sell
their
homes
to
disclose
the
fact
that
they
are
exposed
to
the
cannabis
odors.
Can
you
imagine
what
this
will
do
to
the
value
of
our
homes
here
in
escena
in
Palm
Springs,
which
is
supposed
to
be
the
winter
paradise
known
for
its
healthy
air
based
on
the
city
of
Palm,
Springs
has
learned
and
experienced
with
cannabis,
cultivation
and
manufacture.
Q
These
facilities
need
to
be
located
away
from
residential
areas,
not
adjacent
to
them.
Cannabis,
grow
and
manufacturing
facilities
need
to
be
located
in
new
sealed
buildings
in
North,
Palm,
Springs
adjacent
to
the
freeway
or
in
the
area
Palm
Springs,
east
of
the
freeway.
Please
do
not
approve
this
conditional
use
permit.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
E
E
A
My
oh,
oh,
okay,
I'm,
sorry,
there
we
go
okay,
I'm
wearing
my
El
Rancho
Vista,
States,
neighborhood
organization,
hat
I'm,
the
vice
chair
of
that
organization.
One
thing
I'm
gonna
bring
up
right
now,
because
sensitivity
analysis
has
come
up
and
squirt
and
feet
and
distance
have
come
up.
The
most
sensitive
residential
location
to
these
proposed
facilities
is
our
neighborhood
and
the
homes
on
Chia
Road
are
with
in
725
feet
of
this
proposed
facility,
and
it
is
noted
in
the
staff
report.
It
is
there.
A
It
just
doesn't
look
today,
but
I'm
just
going
to
read
this
a
lot.
The
the
questioning
has
been
great.
Thank
you
for
excellent
questions.
Oh
Veronica
is
left,
but
I
want
to
also
echo
what
a
great
resource
she's
been
for
information.
Anyway.
Our
board
has
asked
me
to
make
the
following
statement
hold
on
here.
Once
here
we
go
honorable
people
and
where
I
told
you
who
I
am
we
request
that
the
Commission
defer
or
as
I,
think
you're
using
the
term
continue
the
approval
of
the
curiously
CU
p.
A
Our
reasons
are
as
follows:
we
only
receive
notice
of
this
application
on
Friday
July
19th
staff
report
says
I'm
good
the
18th,
but
actually
the
email
we
received
was
on
the
19th.
We
have
not
had
time
to
solicit
and
receive
feedback
on
this
application
from
our
residents.
The
reason
we
only
received
notice
on
July
18
is
because
recent
are
19
actually
is
because
recent
changes
to
assure
neighborhood
notification
of
cannabis
projects
with
other
planning
notices.
We
receive
these
notices
earlier.
A
We
note
that
the
business
within
500
feet
received
notices
on
July
11th
I'm,
not
quite
sure
why
our
neighborhood
wasn't
that
important
staff
reports
note
that
houses
in
our
North
neighborhood
organization
come
as
closest
to
700.
Fetuses
have
already
mentioned.
We
know
from
following
the
1ps
cannabis
working
group
that
existing
manufacturing
spaces
is
already
reported.
D
A
This
is
my
last
part:
I
truly
am
trying
to
be
concise,
as
so
many
points
to
be
made.
So
my
last
point
we
understand
the
presence
of
any
odor
control
of
any
odor
control
consultant
is
new
and
that
any
recommendations
have
not
yet
been
implemented,
except,
of
course,
the
the
initial
ones
up
in
the
north
part
of
counteth
park
and
they're
all
concerns
about
those.
How
do
we
know
that
they
will
be
effective
for?
Curiously,
let
alone
my
potential
new
applicants
now
apparently
intending
to
fill
out
the
Montalvo
building.
A
These
are
our
biggest
concerns
and
so
I'm
gonna
cut
to
the
chase.
As
I've
already
said,
what
we
are
asking
of
the
Commission
is
that
you
please
continue
this
item
until
City.
Council
has
completed
further
discussion
and
hope,
but
hopefully
provided
better
policy
guidance
and
also
for
us
simply
to
have
enough
time
to
have
a
discussion
with
our
neighbors.
We
did
have
an
emergency
board
meeting
to
approve
the
statement.
I
just
read
you,
we
did
not
have
time
to
solicit
the
input
that
we
think
is
vital
from
our
residents.
Thank
you
for
your
attention.
Thank.
S
I
am
not
ashamed
to
say
that
I
voted
against
the
legalization
of
marijuana
in
California
and
I
would
do
so
again
if
I
was
given
the
chance,
but
in
cliche
form
that's
water
under
the
bridge
and
that
ship
has
sailed
and
I
will
reluctantly
admit
that
I
have
seen
friends
and
even
their
pets
reap
positive
benefits
from
the
use
of
CBD
products.
So
that
is
not
my
concern
at
this
point.
S
We
have
seen
from
other
states
such
as
Colorado
and
Washington,
and
closer
areas
such
as
Cathedral
City
and
even
other
Palm
Springs
neighborhoods
desert
Highlands
in
Duluth,
Park,
that
even
with
new
construction
and
scrubbing
machines,
odor
emission
from
growth
facilities
is
inevitable
and
any
study
that
suggests
differently
to
you
is
sadly
lacking
in
accuracy
and
reliability,
and
the
proposed
facility
at
1251
Montalvo
is
far
from
new
construction.
So
we
will
have
greater
emissions
guaranteed
even
with
upgrades
to
the
building.
I
can
also
attest
to
the
air
currents.
S
Let's
be
honest,
winds
that
blow
from
the
Montalvo
location
in
the
direction
of
escena
almost
constantly
and
always
strongly
residents
in
Cathedral
City,
who
have
ended
up
near
growth
facilities,
are
now
fighting
their
local
government
to
make
changes,
and
some
businesses
have
already
felt
the
need
to
make
the
extreme
decision
to
relocate.
The
Palm
Springs
neighborhoods,
previously
mentioned
impacted
by
current
grow
approved,
currently
approved
growth
facilities
are
in
an
uproar
and
demanding
changes.
S
In
fact,
the
city,
through
its
council,
has
acknowledged
that
it
failed
to
perform
diligent,
exhaustive
research
before
putting
guidelines
in
place,
as
evidenced
by
a
major
item
on
tonight's
City
Council
meeting
agenda.
We
and
more
specifically,
you
need
to
learn
from
these
previous
decisions
and
not
make
the
same
mistakes
when
approving
future
applications.
S
Intrusive,
unpleasant
and
in
some
cases
sickening
odors
make
a
neighborhood
undesirable.
If
not
unlivable,
they
deteriorate
the
quality
of
life
and
they
lower
property
values.
A
consequence
I,
along
with
most
of
my
neighbors,
cannot
afford.
The
bottom
line
is
this:
this
is
not
an
issue
of
not
in
my
neighborhood,
you
don't,
but
anywhere
else
is
okay.
This
valley
has
thousands
of
open
acres
where
this
intrusive
activity
can
be
conducted
without
negatively
impacting
any
of
its
residents.
S
As
a
result,
I
don't
believe
you,
as
Commission
members,
have
the
right
or
the
authority
to
vote
in
favor
of
an
application
that
does
negatively
impact
needlessly
any
of
the
residents
you
were
put
in
place
to
protect
and
I
doubt
you
would
I
doubt
you
would.
If
you
had
my
concerns
about
your
neighborhood
I
know,
this
is
basically
about
the
odor
and
I
do
understand.
S
You
this
particular
suite
in
this
building,
but
I
still
wanted
you
to
hear
those
concerns,
because
I
believe
that
at
some
other
point
this
building
is
going
to
be
considered
for
other
activities
in
some
of
the
other
Suites.
So
I
would
just
ask
that
we
do
wait
for
the
city
to
make
some
other
rules.
Thank.
M
O
Yes,
my
name
is
Michael
heady
and
I
am
a
resident
in
escena.
The
reason
why
Cathy
and
I
discussed
my
speaking
as
some
health
issues,
two
things
I
have
a
heart
disease
that
allows
my
heart
to
only
operate
at
about
40
percent
of
a
normal
person's
capacity
and
consequently,
I
am
subject
to
not
only
allergy
issues
but
also
asthma.
O
O
Good
afternoon
I'm
John
glickert
from
I
I'm,
sorry
I,
don't
worry,
everyone
does
and
I
resident
of
escena
and
I
would
like
to
thank
you
all
for
the
attention
and
the
care
that
you're
exhibiting
in
considering
this
CU
p
proposal,
and
I
would
urge
you
to
continue
the
discussion
on
this
until
the
city
council
has
had
a
chance
to
review
what
is
going
on
and
what
plans
they
are
making.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
K
Good
afternoon,
I'm
Joseph
Massaro,
I'm,
a
homeowner
and
in
escena,
and
the
first
comment
I
have
is
just
to
the
general
process.
Here
we
got
no
notice
of
this
meeting
other
than
the
neighborhood
committees
publicizing
it
on
next
door.
That's
the
only
reason
I'm
here
tonight,
I
used
to
live
in
Las
Vegas
until
recently
and
when
the
Planning
Commission
there
did
anything
in
our
neighborhoods,
we
would
get
a
postcard
in
the
mail
saying:
hey
gonna
have
a
Planning
Commission
meeting.
Please
come
and
give
us
your
comments.
K
Now
on
this
specific
issue,
along
with
the
other
people,
my
concern
is
the
odor
and
of
course
there
doesn't
appear
to
be
any
odour
concern
if
they're
just
doing
infusion,
but
your
your
staff
member
here
has
let
the
cat
out
of
the
bag
and
that
they're
going
to
put
cultivation
in
that
building.
I
think
their
long-term
plan
is
to
take
over
the
whole
building
and
turn
it
all
into
cultivation.
Why
else
would
they
start
with
a
manufacturing
operation
when
they
don't
even
have
any
any
cultivation
going
on?
K
D
T
Thank
you
for
listening
to
us.
My
name
is
Larry
Norton
I
live
in
a
Cena
and
I
want
to
not
against
this
cannabis
I'm
just
against
the
location.
The
location
is
probably
the
one
of
the
worst
locations
they
could
have
picked.
There's
thousands
of
homes
in
the
area.
We
get
the
winds
from
the
north.
We
get
the
winds
from
the
Salton
Sea
and
it
be
continuous
smell,
and
that
is
not
permissible.
T
O
O
I
would
like
to
state
that
what
this
clearly
is
I'd
like
to
thank
Commissioner,
Marucci
and
Commissioner
donenfeld
for
exposing
this
proposal
for
what
it
is,
it
is
called
serial
permitting
and
what
we
have
is
a
developer
from
Los
Angeles,
who
comes
in,
like
many
other
developers
have
done
over
the
years
before
and
puts
forward
the
smallest
and
most
benign
proposal
that
they
can
contrive
as
the
first
step
in
getting
a
much
larger
selection
of
entitlements
piggybacked
on
top
of
this
at
a
later
date.
So
I
hope
you
will
turn
this
down.
O
If
you
do
not
turn
this
down-
and
you
continue
this
to
a
later
date,
I
would
like
you
to
condition
your
continuance
with
a
requirement
that,
if
this
developer
has
a
lease
on
other
spaces
in
this
building
or
has
other
applications
for
additional
installations
in
this
building
that
they
all
come
forward
to
you.
At
the
same
time,.
C
This
is
not
the
location
for
this
kind
of
facility,
I'm,
not
against
cannabis
whatsoever,
but
I'm
against
the
location,
because
it's
going
to
lead
to
more
and
more
problems
and
we're
all
going
to
be
sitting
here
for
months
and
months
and
months
to
come,
except
that
we
live
in
a
Cena
and
we're
going
to
have
to
deal
with
it
in
a
whole
lot
of
ways,
including
property
values
and
horrible
air
quality.
So
please
say
no
thank
you.
Adobe.
B
B
Understand
the
odor
mitigation
for
this
particular
business,
but
I
don't
believe
that
it's
just
this
particular
business
I
believe
that
this
is
going
to
be
developed
further
and
it's
just
the
door
up
being
open.
So
thank
you
and
please
consider
continuance
on
this
issue
to
the
City.
Council
has
a
chance
to
look
at
the
policy.

Good
afternoon
my
name
is
donaill
mall.
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
speak
I'm
a
resident
at
escena
permanent
resident
for
the
last
five
years,
I'm.
Also
a
realtor
and
I'm.
A
semi-retired
litigation
attorney.
I
agree
with
just
about
everything
that
anyone
has
said
at
the
very
least,
I
urge
the
Commission
to
continue
the
matter
until
the
council
has
an
opportunity
to
look
at
all
the
policy
issues.
Q
T
Thank
you
chair,
commissioners
and
staff.
My
name
is
les
young
and
I
live
at
36
83
savanna
Way
in
Palm,
Springs
and
I'm,
a
candidate
for
Palm
Springs
City
Council
in
district
1
I
realized
that
this
facility
is
not
located
within
district
1.
However,
have
we
not
learned
through
the
concerns
raised
in
the
desert,
Highlands
and
DeMuth
communities
that
cultivation
manufacturing
of
cannabis,
abutting
residential
areas
is
fraught
with
issues
and
complaints
for
the
residents
and
difficult
and
difficult
for
the
businesses?
T
Do?
Does
council
currently
not
have
a
moratorium
on
the
facilities
in
desert,
Highlands
and
Duluth
communities?
Yes,
they
do
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
impact
of
this.
This
facility
would
have
on
homes
in
the
escena
community
and
the
ability
of
the
community
to
continue
to
develop
and
grow.
Frankly,
as
a
resident
of
Palm
Springs
I'm
equally
concerned
about
the
impact
on
the
homes
in
the
El
Rancho
Vista
estates.
There
are
plenty
of
opportunities
outside
of
commercial
zones
located
adjacent
to
residential
areas,
to
develop
these
facilities
and
I
encourage
that
development
in
district
1.

F
C
Chair
woods,
commissioners,
my
name
is
Cathy
we're
Mecca
and
it's
a
pleasure.
It's
pleasure
to
appear
before
you
today
in
front
of
old
friends.
I
wanted
to
speak
on
a
couple
of
issues
that
I,
don't
think
have
been
broached.
This
is
a
first
incursion
into
this
neighborhood.
This
neighborhood
has
many
sensitive
receptors,
the
air
museum,
where
people
frequently
walk
amongst
the
airplanes
and
have
parties
in
the
evening.
The
escena
golf
course
our
premier
golf
course
in
the
city
where
people
golf
and
odors
would
be
a
problem.
C
This
is
not
with
the
winds
and
with
these
receptors
that
are
both
tourist
receptors
places
where
our
tourists
come
and
also
places
where
people
live
and
work,
and
not
just
and
also
the
people
who
work
in
that
industrial
park
can
be
subject
to
noxious
odors
and
I
know.
This
particular
facility
is
more
limited,
but
there
are
five
six
proposals
for
this
neighborhood,
four
of
which
are
cannabis,
grow
facilities
and
five
of
which
include
manufacturing
the
two
sources
of
odors
I.
C
Think
we
have
to
what
I
would
encourage
you
to
look
at
is
whether
you
can
make
the
finding
that
this
facility
is
desirable
and
necessary
for
this
community
I,
don't
know
what's
necessary
about
cannabis
in
a
tourist
area
or
a
residential
area
and
I
think
you
have
a
that's.
That's
the
hook.
That's
where
you
need
to
look.
If
you
decide
you
want
to
go
forward
with
this
and
I
hope.
You
don't
look
at
the
conditions
that
you
have.
They
talked
about
turbines.
The
staff
recommendation
does
not
limit
this
where
the
turbines
are
removed.
C
If
you
do
approve,
it
require
at
least
the
condition
that
there
would
be
nothing
that
would
ever
be
odor
producing
in
the
facility,
so
that,
when
this
facility
is
sold
to
the
next
person
in
your
approval
is
not
just
for
this
facilities
for
the
future.
That
you
are,
you
don't
permit
something
that
will
will
create
odors
in
the
future.
C
So
if
you
look
at
it
that
way,
look
at
your
conditions,
strengthen
them,
but
I
think
you've
got
a
basis
to
turn
this
down
and
I
hope
you
would
turning
it
down,
doesn't
mean
it's
the
end
of
it.
It
means
it
would
go
to
Council
and
they
would
at
least
have
the
decision
as
to
whether
or
not
they
want
to
put
odors
next
to
the
airport,
the
air
museum,
the
golf
course
and
two
very
large
residences,
given
the
history
of
what's
happened.
Thank
you
so
much.
C
D
D
I've
heard
people
have
asked
for
a
continuance
so
that
they
have
more
opportunity
to
digest
it
or
they
weren't
noticed
in
time
and
I
have
also
heard
other
people
saying
that
they
wanted
the
decision
made
tonight
just
in
my
process
tonight
and
I'm,
not
sure
where
the
the
discussion
is
going
to
go
with
my
fellow
commissioners
if
I
were
to
close
the
public
hearing
and
we
decide
to
continue
it,
I
can
reopen
that
public
hearing
if
necessary.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,.
D
R
Okay,
I
noted
a
couple
things
and
also
like
to
clarify
some
some
misinformation.
There
there's
something
that
was
mentioned
regarding
the
loop
net,
which
is
the
commercial
website
for
renting
commercial
spaces
and
I.
Guess,
there's
something
up
there
about
a
selling
or
something
along
those
lines.
I
don't
know
what
that
is.
That
has
nothing
to
do
with
what
I'm
doing
in
this
project.
There's
no
plan
to
sell
a
license
or
anything
like
that.
I'm,
the
guy
I'm
I'm,
the
actual
candymaker
person
you're
talking
to
him.
We
are
doing
extensive
remodeling.
R
R
The
terpenes
will
be
completely
removed
and
that
was
actually
I
believe
her
name
is
Kathy
mentioned,
perhaps
a
condition
in
there
to
say
you
know
we
won't
be
using
terpenes
on
site
and
I
think
that
you
know,
if
that's
the
that
will
help
alleviate
any
concerns,
we're
happy
to
to
abide
by
that
as
well.
Of
course,
you
want
to
mention
anything
about
the
structure
regarding
air
sure
some
of
the.
B
Concerns
that
do
come
up
are
the
age
of
the
building
and
the
structure
are
the
integrity
of
the
building.
Now,
in
the
renovation
process,
we
do
have
the
ability
to
seal
those
spaces
tight
and
actually,
especially
in
this
case,
that
is
of
critical
importance,
because
the
space
that
is
used
for
manufacturing
the
candies
does
need
to
be
at
a
special
temperature.
We
do
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not.
There
is
no
air
transmission
between
that
space
and
even
the
corridor
next
door,
let
alone
on
the
outside
of
the
building.
B
Would
then
be,
would
then
go
into
that
delivery
space
where
we
see
that
roll-up
door
and
my
recommendation,
although
no
one
asked,
is
to
have
a
scrubber
in
that
space,
just
which
would
provide
at
least
one
full
room,
air
change
per
every
minute.
So
you
take
the
entire
volume
of
the
room,
throw
it
through
an
air
scrubber,
and
that
would
be
continuous
for
any
time
that
the
door
is
opened.
So
it's
all
a
little
redundant,
because
in
this
specific
case,
which
is
what
we're
here
for
tonight,
there
is
no
odor.
D
F
F
F
But
again
they
we
required
a
just
a
sheetrock
wall
in
front
of
the
door,
a
roll-up
door,
and
when
you
wanted
to
use
that
as
a
means
to
bring
product
in
or
out,
you
would
roll
the
door
up
and
then
you
would
open
up
just
a
man
door
in
that
new
wall.
It
could
be
two
three-foot
doors
and
that's
because
those
manned
or
those
roll-up
doors
are
never
airtight.
We
learnt.
We
heard
that
from
a
previous
Commission
member
who
had
experience
with
those
as
an
architect.
F
B
F
R
I
understand
so,
but
the
cooking
instead
ease
I
believe
was
that
the
cooking
equipment,
when
they
opened
the
door,
the
the
air
was
still
from
the
manufacturing
space.
So
it
could
exit
out
the
back
door
so
that,
in
essence
that
the
floor
plan
we've
provided
as
part
of
the
CEP
incorporates
that
ideology
that
you're
suggesting
to
that.
Well,.
I
J
R
G
On
your
odor
control
plan,
there's
a
for
example,
there's
a
time
schedule
of
six
every
six
month.
You
know
changing
the
filters
and
I
believe
somebody
coming
and
verifying
that
we
would
you
be
open
to
because
it's
you
know,
one
of
and
one
of
very
few
that
have
started
in
that
area.
Would
you
be
opposed
to
having
an
earlier
visit
and
inspection
just
so
that
everything
is
running
according
to
what
is
has
been
promised
here?
Absolutely.
R
D
J
N
Work
I
can
speak
to
that.
Mr.
chair
members
to
the
Planning
Commission,
a
conditional
use
permit
as
a
land
use
entitlement
is
a
vested
right
that
runs
with
the
land.
Therefore,
if
there's
a
conditional
use,
permit
that
has
been
utilized
in
a
business
is
operating
consistent
with
that
Cu
P
and
then
I
sell
that
business
to
a
new
owner
who
operates
it
consistent
with
the
Cu
P
that
new
owner
can
do
that.
That
right
just
continues
on
to
the
new
owner,
because
it
runs
with
the
land.
It's
not
personal
to
a
particular
business.
N
That
being
said,
if
the
use
authorized
by
the
Cu
P
is
limited,
for
example,
in
this
case,
to
manufacturing
only
and
not
to
cultivation
and
other
cannabis
activities
that
new
owner
cannot
come
in
and
do
a
completely
different
cannabis
use.
Unless
that
new
owner
gets
an
amended
CU
P
or
an
additional
permit
to
do
that
added
stuff.
That.
N
If
the
condition
of
approval
were
worded
in
a
way
to
say,
you
may
only
do
this
manufacturing
activity
using
wholesale
cannabis
oil
that
is
terpene
free
or
you
know,
that's
a
factual
question
I'd
be
curious
to
hear
from
the
applicant.
Is
there
really
such
a
thing
as
completely
terpene
free
oil,
or
would
it
be
like
half
a
percent
or
one
percent,
or
something
like
that?
N
K
K
N
State
might
issue
one
preliminary
contingent
upon
the
city
giving
the
owner
a
Cu
P
for
that
new
use,
but
no
the
state
in
and
of
itself
is
not
just
going
to
give
them
a
permit
and
say
you
can
do
this
new
use
and
the
city
doesn't
have
the
right
to
see
you
P
that
so
they
they
work
hand
in
hand.
Okay,
okay,.
D
We're
all,
but
for
a
discussion
at
this
point,
but
before
we
do
that
I
do
have
a
question
of
staff
as
well.
So
currently
the
type
six
something
we
learned
about
today
and
I.
Don't
think
that
is
actually
in
the
conditions
of
approval
that
it
be
limited
to
type
six
or
is
that
in
the
conditions
of
approval?
No.
E
L
Sure
so
everyone
knows
that
I
have
a
lot
of
concerns
about
cannabis,
manufacturing
and
cultivation
in
the
city,
especially
when
we
have
over
concentration,
where
we
have.
You
know
multiple
facilities
and
in
one
part
of
town
like
we
have
in
Timnath
Park
and
Desert
Highlands,
this
particular
facility,
you
know
we're
being
told
over
and
over
again
has
low
to
no
odor
has
we've
demonstrated
here.
L
We
are
not
cannabis
experts
and,
for
me,
I
cannot
say
with
any
certainty
that
this
facility
will
not
emit
odors,
because
I
have
no
experience
being
near
any
of
these
types
of
facilities
and
I.
Don't
feel
that
we
can
make
any
kind
of
adding
adequate
determination
about
this
until
we
have
gotten
some
sort
of
information
about
other
similar
sites.
You
know
what
about
other
cities?
What
are
they
experiencing?
Is
there
a
place
in
Palm
Springs?
L
Already,
maybe
I
don't
think
big
Betty's
is
open
yet,
but
any
another
place
that
is
having
a
similar
doing
in
similar
type.
Six
I
would
love
to
have
more
information
to
understand,
because
if
this
is
this,
one
small
business
owner
owner,
where
there's
no
odor
at
all,
I
feel
for
them,
but
I
also
do
not
want
to
have
rampant
cannabis
production
in
the
city
that
doesn't
fit
in
with
the
neighborhood
and
with
the
community.
L
So
for
me,
I
really
feel
like
we
need
more
information,
a
better
understanding
of
what
it
is
that
we're
doing
before
we
can
say
no
to
something
that
is
akin
to
a
dispensary
and
that's
kind
of
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
odor
control
expert
and
from
the
applicant.
But
again,
there's
no
information
to
be
clear.
If
that's
the
case.
Thank.
K
This
is
very
difficult
for
me
because
I
know
you're
all
here
today,
because
you
feel
very
strongly
about
your
neighborhood
and
I
feel
strongly
about
my
neighborhood
and
I.
Think
that
as
we
go
forward
with
cannabis
production,
we
have
to
be
very
careful
because
it's
something
very
new
to
our
community
and
we
don't
want
to
undo
the
quality
of
life
that
we
all
share
here.
But
we
are
a
commission
and
we're
guided
by
and
I
love
to,
say
it
because,
it's
not
being
said
very
often
anymore.
K
The
rule
of
law
and
the
rule
of
law
says
that
we
are
to
adhere
to
the
statutes
and
the
ordinances
and
the
regulations
and
the
administrative
overview
of
the
city
of
Palm
Springs.
We
can't
pass
our
responsibility
on
to
the
City
Council
we
are
here
to
make
decisions,
see
Opie's
are
a
critical
component
of
the
jurisdiction
of
a
Planning
Commission
and
for
us
to
kick
the
can
down
the
street
to
the
planning
to
the
City.
K
Council
doesn't
do
us
any
service,
and
it
certainly
doesn't
do
the
city
and
the
council
any
service,
well
you're,
looking
at
a
Class
six,
practically,
maybe
all
odorless
odorless
facility.
We
have
all
the
information
we
need.
We
had
excellent
consultants.
Today
we
talked
about
it,
I'm
very
impressed
with
the
earnestness
of
the
applicant
himself.
This
is
not
a
dispensary,
it's
not
not
even
anywhere
close
to
a
dispensary.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
cultivation.
If
this
were
cultivation,
I'd
be
much
more
concerned.
All
the
testimony
today
had
to
do
with
odor.
K
Odor
is
not
the
issue.
We
cannot
speculate.
What
the
next
application
on
this
site
is
likely
to
be.
That
is
not
within
our
purview.
That
is
not
a
legal
way
to
behave
as
a
Planning
Commission.
We
will
address
that
application
when
it
comes
to
us,
but
we
can't
speculate
what's
in
the
offing.
If
we
approve
this
one,
the
applicant
has
been
very
clear.
He
is
not
a
part
of
lindalva
and
the
other
applications
that
we
might
not
might
become
before
us
he's
not
trying
to
build
a
huge
cannabis
Empire
down
the
street
from
escena.
K
So,
although
it
pains
me
because
I
know
how
strongly
you
feel
about
your
neighborhood
and
I
do
about
mine,
this
case,
I
think
is
clearly
approvable
and
I
would
approve
it
with
this,
with
the
conditions
that
ms
Warwick
and
others
have
suggested,
but
I
think
it's
an
approvable
application
and
I
think
we
would
do
be
doing
a
huge
disservice
as
stewards
of
the
laws
and
regulations
of
the
city.
If
we
didn't
upholding
room
is
this
applicant
has
met
the
standards
of
approval,
so
I
would
approve
it.
We.
F
Thank
you.
People
familiar
with
my
statements
from
the
podium
up
here
over
previous
applications
for
cannabis
facilities
know
that
I'm
generally
have
opposed
them,
although
I
think
I've
voted
for
one
prior,
but
I
generally
oppose
them,
I.
Think
in
this
case
this
is
probably
right
that
I
would
say
this
is
the
least
or
the
most
benign
facility
that
that's
come
before
us
in
terms
of
its
use,
even
the
bakery
bit
Betty
baekje,
whatever
it
was,
she
was
baking.
F
These
guys
are
just
mixing
some
emulsions
up
to
form
hard,
candy
or
soft
candy,
so
I
think
it's
probably
even
less
noxious
than
that
one.
So
here's
some
conditions
I
would
want
to
see
in
the
approval.
If
we
vote
to
approve
and
one
would
be
to
limit
it
to
the
Class
six
license.
If
that's
what
it
is
licenses
it'll
license,
permit
I
would
also
like
to
impose
the
rep
the
requirement
we
gave
to
miss
Betty
on
the
walling
up
the
roll-up
door
and
imposed
in
it
and
then
including
a
man
door
in
that
door.
F
I
think
that
that
would
go
a
lot
to
alleviate
some
concerns
prohibiting
terpenes
from
entering
the
facility
to
the
attorneys
point.
I,
don't
know.
If
that's
you
know,
100
percent
or
it's
ninety-nine
point
nine
nine,
but
just
I
think
you
know
not
allowing
terpenes
in
the
facility
would
be
the
wording
that
I
would
going
after
the
the
candidate.
The
applicant
requested
that
we
strike
the
shower
requirement
from
the
facility
and
I
would
be
okay
with
that
striking
it.
Somebody
disagrees
with
me.
F
That's
okay,
but
I,
don't
really
see
a
need
to
have
a
shower
facility
when
you're
making
candy.
This
is
a
Health
Department
requirement,
but
I
don't
think
it
is
I
would
require
the
air
curtains
at
at
all.
Exterior
entrances
I'd
also
like
to
see
they're
just
a
little
like
fly
fans
when
you
open
the
door.
F
They
may
already
be
doing
this.
A
new
wall
built
in
bored
of
the
existing
exterior
wall
just
inboard,
so
that
we
know
that
that's
airtight
or
sealed
to
a
reasonable
degree
and
then
a
new
ceiling
lid,
a
sheetrock
ceiling
lid
in
that
manufacturing
area
as
well
and
I.
Think
with
those
conditions,
I
feel
confident
that
should
mitigate
any
odors
that
may
be
produced
in
that
facility
and
I
would
support
a
motion
that
included
those
conditions.
Did.
F
D
D
J
Came
into
this
thinking
that
if
there
was
any
chance
that
noxious
odors
were
going
to
be
coming
from
this
facility,
I
would
vote
no,
but
I
think
all
reasonable
people
and
I'm
sure
you
all
are
after
hearing
what
we
heard
today.
This
would
be
the
least
possible
odor
emitting
process
that
could
ever
occur
in
this
space.
J
G
D
Great
I
just
would
like
to
take
a
moment
and
if
the
applicant
could
come
up
to
the
microphone
very
quickly,
we've
added
you've
heard
a
discussion,
we're
not
even
at
the
point
of
voting
or
finishing
it,
but
there
has
been
a
series
of
conditions
that
have
been
explained.
I
think
you've
agreed
to
several
of
them.
There
are
any
of
you
don't
agree
with
I.
Think.
D
D
N
R
N
Not
half
percent
not
direct
zero,
okay,
okay,
if
I
may
mr.
chair,
then
I'd
like
to
suggest
an
amendment
to
planning
complaining
condition
number.
It's
eight
in
my
staff
report,
yeah
manufacturing
and
distribution
I
I've
been
sitting
over
here
kind
of
furiously,
rewriting
it
and
I
wanted
to
run
this
by
the
Commission
verbally
see
what
you
thought
now.
N
Okay,
it
would
be
manufacturing
and
distribution.
This
facility
shall
be
restricted
to
manufacturing
and
producing
cannabis.
Infused
edibles
pursuant
to
a
Bureau
of
cannabis
control,
caste
class,
three
permit
six
I'm!
Sorry,
that's
a
three
Class
six
permit,
I'm!
Sorry,
it's
written
right
there
and
I
said
three
Class
six
permit
through
combining
food
items
with
wholesale
cannabis
oil
that
has
been
produced
off-site
and
which
does
not
contain
any
terpenes.
N
There
shall
be
no
cultivation,
testing,
processing,
manufacturing,
production,
distribution
or
retail
sale
of
cannabis,
cannabis
oils
or
any
cannabis
extracts
at
this
facility,
except,
is
specify
an
above
period.
No
waste
chemicals
shall
be
generated
in
the
process.
How
is
my
attempt
here
just
sort
of
writing
on
the
fly,
but
if
the
Commission
has
some
other
suggestions,
I'm
happy
to
consider
those
thank.
R
N
D
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
echo
I
think
what
every
one
of
our
planning
commissioners
has
set
up
here.
We
we
entered
into
the
cannabis
industry
in
the
city
of
Palm
Springs,
without
having
clear
regulations,
and
we
had.
We
saw
the
negative
impacts
of
what
that
happened,
particularly
of
the
odor,
with
manufacturing
on
the
north
end
of
our
town.
D
The
City
Council
has
sent
put
in
what's
called
a
conditional
use
permit,
which
is
what
we're
talking
about
tonight,
which
gives
us
a
series
of
ways
to
to
regulate
over,
regulate
even
the
process
and
to
actually
close
down
any
business
that
isn't
operating
by
the
conditions.
I
think
what
you
heard
tonight
was
my
fellow
commissioners
adding
a
litany
of
additional
conditions
to
this
tonight.
I
would
agree
that
if
this
generated
odors
or
I
was
unclear,
if
it
generated
odors,
if
it
generated
orders
of
any
sort,
I
would
absolutely
vote
against
this.
D
There
would
be
no
reason
to
have
an
odor
producing
this
close
to
sensitive
receptors.
As
you
seen
tonight,
there
are
other
negative
ramifications
that
come
along
with
with
the
concentration
of
cannabis.
At
this
point,
there's
not
a
there's,
not
a
concentration
in
this
area.
There
could
potentially
be,
as
we've
seen,
that
there
are
applications
coming
out
there.
I
think
this
Commission
is
very
well
aware
of
that
and
I.
Don't
think
that
my
fellow
commissioners,
just
in
having
worked
with,
would
approve
any
concentration
in
this
area.
D
So
with
that
and
stated
I
think
there
we
have
precautions
in
place
for
this
particular
industry
to
move
forward,
but
understanding
that
we
do
need
better
regulations
in
the
long
term.
I
would
encourage
you.
The
City
Council
is
meeting
a
closed
session
at
four
o'clock.
If
you
and
they
will
be
discussing
cannabis
in
an
open
session,
you
are
more
than
welcome
to
go
to
closed
session
and
make
any
comments
on
the
policy
we
do
need
to
update
our
policies
on
cannabis.
D
I
would
ask
you
to
stay
very
Hakeem,
Lee
and
astutely
involved
in
that,
because
it
affects
all
of
us
as
a
community
I
think
somebody
had
mentioned
property
values,
property
values
being
one
of
those
items.
We
do
not
want
to
toy
with
it's
the
second
largest
way
that
we
get
revenue
in
this
city,
but
with
that
I
would
like
to
call
the
question
and
go
for
the
vote.
D
The
motion
passes.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
every
one
of
you
in
this
for
sitting
through
a
very
long
meeting.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
public
participation
I.
Ask
that
you
don't
stop
with
your
public
participation
in
this.
Thank
you
very
much
all
right.
We
need
to
move
along
to
try
and
close
out
of
the
room,
there's
no
unfinished
business
and
there's
no
new
business.
This
is
a
time
for
planning.
Commission
reports
request
in
comments
wishes
song.
G
So
tonight,
at
City
Council
also
streamlining
process
for
planning
applications
are
being
proposed
as
the
very
last
item
to
be
honest
with
you,
I'm,
not
sure
if
we're
gonna
get
to
it.
But
the
summary
of
it
is
that
the
staff
is
recommending
that
a
RC
AAC
gets
one
review
and
within
that
one
review
they
could
approve
a
conditions,
approve
it
fully
or
deny
it
with
conditions,
and
then
it
will
move
to
Planning,
Commission
and
Planning
Commission
will
have
to
reviews
and
then
up
the
ladder
and
so
on
so
I
think
it.
G
G
D
J
B
F
J
My
comments:
can
you
take
this
outside
yeah.
F
My
comment
is
I've,
been
in
this
process,
either
AC
or
Planning
Commission
for
quite
a
number
of
years
and
I'm
about
to
be
termed
out
shortly.
But
in
my
experience,
there's
not
been
a
great
lot
of
applicants
that
have
come
back
to
us
repeatedly
repeatedly
repeatedly,
there's
been
a
few
and
they
are
typically.
The
ones
were
very
wary
about
approving
anyway,
and
I
would
not
be
for
this
proposal,
because
I
think
it
may
accelerate
approval
of
projects
that
were
not
100%.
Sure
art
will
enhance
our
community
I.
F
Think
we
need
to
let
the
let
the
process
run
its
course
I.
There's
not
a
lot
of
projects
that
come
back
more
than
twice
to
either
these
boards,
probably
on
my
hand,
I
could
count
them
over
the
course
of
those
many
years
so
I
don't
know,
I,
think
you're
solving
a
problem
that
doesn't
exist
by
recommending
that
sort
of
like
voter
registration
and
and
so
III
would
be
against
it,
I
think,
and
then
what
about
our
subcommittees?
You
know
it
doesn't
address
that.
D
The
reason
I'm
saying
this
is
I
want
to
give
it
to
Maria
song
too,
because
we
just
reopened
a
fire
station
and
instead
of
ripping
it
down
and
rebuilding
it,
Maria
along
you
know,
Peter
set
the
stage
suit
deserve
this
stuff.
Maria
was
able
to
reuse
the
existing
building
to
go
there
and
I
want
to
really
give
a
shout
out
to
the
neighborhood
to
Twin
Palms,
who
really
stepped
forward.
To
basically
say
we
want
this
building
preserved
and
I.
D
Think
that
kind
of
synergy
where
we
have
all
these
different
pieces
working
together
really
shows
why
we're
such
a
great
city,
then
I
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
all
those
different
entities
and
to
our
City
Council
many
times
it's
more
expensive
to
reuse,
something
than
it
is
to
rebuild,
but
our
City
Council
actually
put
the
money
there
and
the
measure
J,
which
was
our
1%
sales
tax,
to
make
it
all
happen.
So
that's
really
a
testament.
M
There
was
feedback
that
has
come
to
city
council
on
multiple
occasions
that
the
process
does
need
to
be
streamlined
and
that
that
is
a
hindrance
to
development
in
the
city.
This
is
was
raised
clearly,
within
the
context
of
the
fee,
increases
that
we
are
imposing
on
developers
and
an
attempt
to
try
to
balance
the
tables
that,
if
we're
raising
fees
on
one
hand,
can
we
improve
the
process
on
the
other.
M
One
of
the
things
I
will
be
raising
this
evening
is
that
there
should
be
an
allowance
at
Planning
Commission
for
a
study
session
that
would
not
be
counted
towards
the
two
meetings.
I
know
how
frequently
study
sessions
have
have
accomplished
a
great
deal
in
my
SiC
proposal
this
evening
will
be
that
either
staff
or
the
Planning
Commission
could
call
for
a
study
session
if
more
than
one
study
session
is
desired
by
staff
or
by
the
Commission.
That
would
need
to
have
the
consent
of
the
applicant.
E
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I
just
want
to
make
a
quick
reference,
a
very
brief
reference
to
to
the
other
two
cases
that
were
referenced
during
the
public
hearing
and
the
one
that
the
the
vice
chair
talked
about.
Those
are
the
two
other
applications
and
that's
same
location
that
maybe
commit
to
you
in
the
nearest
future.
E
I
just
want
to
assure
all
of
you
that,
based
on
what
we've
been
hearing,
not
just
from
tonight's,
this
afternoon's
hearing,
but
the
previous
hearings
that
we
are
doing
everything
we
can,
at
least
at
a
staff
level
and
working
within
the
limits
of
the
code
and
the
ordinance
relative
to
cannabis
facilities
that
we
are
taking
into
account.
The
fact
that
what
you
saw
tonight
is
very
different
than
the
other,
those
two
applications,
so
they
will
include
secret
documents
and
all
other
documents
that
will
help.
You
make
an
informed
decision.
E
D
E
They
are
working
on
some
aspects
of
financing
that
is
almost
there
connecting
him
and
that,
if
hired
three
security
guards
that
works
the
site
three
times
a
week
and
they
will
continue
to
clean
up
the
site
and
that
very
soon
a
full
construction
activity
would
be
taking
place
on
the
side.
That
was
the
assurance
that
he
gave
us,
but
we
also
made
him
understand
that
there
will
be
up
until
the
time
they
will
start
doing,
that
there
could
be
code
enforcement
actions.
J
Know
I'm
for
the
rest
of
my
colleagues.
I
know
one
that's
been
raising
this
on
a
regular
basis.
I
appreciate
everything
you
said:
I'm,
not
necessarily
convinced
that
we
will
see
activity
soon,
so
I
would
want
to
move
forward
with
whatever
the
law
allows,
as
relates
to
this
blighted
site,
and
if
indeed
you
know
they
find
that
troublesome,
then
they
can
start
construction
I
mean
I,
don't
want
to
drop
it
because
they
said
well.
