Minutes of the Planning Commission, September 13, 2017, Continued:
a. Holiday Inn Express ± Request for approval of a Major Use Permit and Major Site
Development Permit to allow the construction of a 4-story Holiday Inn Express on Airport
Park Boulevard. The site is located on the northern half of APN 180-110-28.
File No.: 2590-UP/SDP-PC.
Commissioner Watt said he wanted to refrain from voting on the project, but would like to
participate in the discussion.
Presenters: Craig Schlatter, Community Development and Planning Director and Adele
Phillips, Planning Manager.
Power Point presentation given by Adele Phillips, Associate Planner.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: 6:38 P.M.
Public Comment: Mark Tiedemann, Alan Nicholson, and Ben Kageyama.
Mark Tiedemann, Project Architect, referred to the Conditions of Approval in attachment
2 of the staff report to adopt a Use Permit and Site Development Permit for the Holiday Inn
Express and asked the Commission to consider modifying the following Conditions of
Approval:
Transportation and Traffic, Condition of Approval 2:
3A 6-foot wide sidewalk shall be constructed along the south side of the
northerly driveway, from Airport Park Boulevard to the westerly parcel
boundary, and shall be within a public access easement. Additionally, a 6-
foot wide sidewalk shall also be construct from the northerly parcel
boundary to the southerly parcel boundary, along the west side of the
proposed building. A northerly sidewalk connection with crosswalk shall be
made to the sidewalk at Park Falls Plaza as shown on the site plan.❑
Is of the opinion there is too much liability to require Holiday Inn Express to build a
connecting crosswalk and wheelchair ramp on sRP H�i�'H��l9�SF�1�14-1�6S�DQ�/C
amenable to putting in a handicap ramp on the Holiday Inn Express side with the hope the
property owner of Park Falls Plaza would want to meet this so as to allow for a connecting
pedestrian-friendly pathway between the two properties.
Aesthetics, Condition of Approval 1:
3Prior to the issuance of a Building Permit, a Final Landscaping and Lighting
Plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the Director of Planning
and Community Development or his/her designee. All required landscaping
shall be planted prior to final inspection, and shall be maintained in a viable
condition to the satisfaction of the Department of Planning and Community
Development. The final Landscaping Plan shall incorporate designs derived
from Low Impact Development Standards. The plan shall include, but not be
limited to the following:
a. A planting legend that includes the names, location, coverage area,
percentage of landscape coverage area dedicated to live plantings, and
percentage canopy cover of proposed vegetation shading paved areas,
including required street trees (Coast redwood) in the setback abutting
Airport Park Boulevard;
b. A planting schedule for all vegetation installed on the site;
c. A maintenance and watering schedule for all vegetation;
d. Shade area calculation for all paved areas;
Page 2 of 18
Minutes of the Planning Commission, September 13, 2017, Continued:
e. A lighting plan for exterior lighting install or otherwise used on the site; and,
f. The location and dimensions for the meandering sidewalk to be located
adjacent to Airport Park Boulevard.❑
Is of the opinion requiring the street trees for the project to be Coast Redwood would not be
feasible/practical because the size of the trunk and corresponding root system and/or other
potential negative landscaping maintenance problems associated with Redwoods would
essentially compromise a meandering sidewalk that is being proposed from an aesthetics
perspective. Would recommend a street tree species has the same size, shape, and shade
canopy as required for the Starbucks project. This would also provide for a landscaping
balance with regard to street trees on Airport Park Boulevard.
Aesthetics, Condition of Approval 2:

Sl�l'b9Hl�(/�D1m61� X�f'FiQLGR1�l greater than 300 sf in
sign area.❑
Preference would be to extend the Holiday Inn Express corporate (H) logo portion of the
sign on the building to at least one foot above the roofline. Other Holiday Inn Express motels
in other communities incorporate this design feature on their buildings. This can be
accomplished in a variety of ways that are aesthetically pleasing using different treatments,
such as a parapet and/or some other type of feature and cited existing signage types on the
other hotels in the neighborhood as examples.

subsequent modification to the above-referenced project Conditions of Approval as follows:
Transportation and Traffic, Condition of Approval No. 2
Agreed not to require the applicant build something that was not on their property, but
alternatively would like the applicant to at least approach the owner of Park Falls Plaza
about completing the second half of the crosswalk on their property and therefore, modified
the condition of approval No. 2 to state:
3A 6-foot wide sidewalk shall be constructed along the south side of the
northerly driveway, from Airport Park Boulevard to the westerly parcel
boundary, and shall be within a public access easement. Additionally, a 6-
foot wide sidewalk shall also be construct from the northerly parcel
boundary to the southerly parcel boundary, along the west side of the

1. The Project will approve a Use Permit and Site Development to allow the construction of 92-
unit hotel and associated site improvements �3lH�l'bFl�
2. The City of Ukiah as lead agency has prepared an Initial Environmental Study and a
Mitigated Negative Declaration dated August 22, 2017, to evaluate the potential
environmental impacts of the Use Permit, Site Development Pemit, and construction and
operation of the Project.
3. The Initial Environmental Study examined areas of potential impacts and based on the
conclusions reached in the Initial Environmental Study, it has been determined that the
proposed project, as mitigated, would not have significant adverse impacts on the
environment for the following reasons:
A. A mitigation measure has been included to reduce any Project impacts related to light
and glare to less than significant. Impacts to visual quality were determined to be less
than significant or no impact.
B. The Project would not have an impact on any existing or future agriculture use. There
are no parcels within the City zoned Agriculture and no agricultural uses on or proximate
to the Project site.
C. Construction of the Project would result in an increased air polluants including fugitive
dust, and PM 10. Mitigation measures designed to minize construction pollution from the
Project have been applied. The Project was referred to the Mendocino County Air
Quality Management District (MCAQMD).
D. The Project area is not identified on the Area of High Archeological Sensitivity included
in the City of Ukiah General Plan. It is highly unlikely that there are archeological
resources or human remains on the parcels included in the Project. In the unlikely event
that cultural resources or human remains are discovered during grading operations for
the Project, mitigation measures have been included to reduce the impact to less than
significant.
E. The Project site is not known to be in an area with unstable or expansive soil. The
Project site and surrounding area are relatively flat; therefore, there would be no impacts
related to landslide. The Project has the potential to result in erosion or the loss of top
soil. Mitigation measures for Air Quality and Geology and Soils have also been applied
to prevent excessive soil erosion. Implementation of these mitigation measures would
reduce the potential for the Project to impact top soil and result in erosion.
Page 5 of 18
Minutes of the Planning Commission, September 13, 2017, Continued:
F. The Project site is not located on any list of hazardous waste disposal sites compiled
pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5.
G. The Project is located within the boundaries of the B1 compatibility zone for the Ukiah
Municipal Airport and found to be compatible with the requirements of the zone.
H. The Project would not modify the drainage on the site which has the potential to result in
erosion, siltation, and/or to increase the rate or volume of runoff. The Preliminary
Standard urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan completed for the project dated August 10,
2017, concluded that with the use of Low Impact Development (LID) the site was
capable of retaining stormwater on-site.
I. The Project is subject to the Storm Water Low Impact Development Technical Desiqn
Manual, dated August 2011, adopted by City Council on June 18, 2014, which became
effective upon adoption and applies to applications submitted prior to May 3, 2017.
J. The project is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area or within a 100-year flood
zone as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or
other flood hazard delineation map. The Project is located within Panel#1514 of 2100,
dated June 2, 2011.
K. The Project would develop an existing parcel by constructing a 92-room hotel. The project
site is developed on 3 sides within an existing �a business park, and therefore will
not divide an established community.
L. No mineral resources are located within or proximate to the project area.
M. Construction of the Project would result in a temporary increase in noise levels in the
Project area. No residential uses are located proximate to the Project. Mitigation
measures have been included to limit the hours of construction and reduce noise from
construction equipment. These mitigation measures would reduce construction noise
impacts to less than significant.
N. The parcel has frontage and access from an existing street (Airport Park Boulevard) and
utilities are available to serve the 92-room hotel. Per the applicant, the Project would
result in the creation of 18-20 new jobs, and a less than significant impact to population
g rowth.
O. The Project would result in nominal impacts to municipal services, emergency room
visits, police calls, public disturbances. The Project has been reviewed by Public Works,
the Police Department, Fire Marshal, and Electric Utility. The Project would not create
the need for new city facilities or services. Therefore, the Project would have a less than
significant impact on municipal services.
Parks: The project is providing on-site recreational amenities including a swimming pool
and access to the Rail Trail. These amenities will provide residents an opportunity for
outdoor activities. The impact to parks would be less than significant.
Schools: Guest of the hotel will be temporary visitors to the City of Ukiah, therefore there
will be no impact to local schools.
P. The Project would not result in climate change or greenhouse gas impacts based highly
efficient building design, the project includes a large photovoltaic system and strives to
Page 6 of 18
Minutes of the Planning Commission, September 13, 2017, Continued:
be a zero energy project. The Project does not violate any plans or policies adopted to
address climate change/GHG. The Project was referred to and reviewed by the
MCAQMD, and MCAQMD did not identify any impacts related to climate change or
GHG.
Q. Reasonable and feasible mitigation measures have been identified that would eliminate
or reduce significant impacts to levels of insignificance.
The Initial Environmental Study examined areas of potential impacts that may result from the
implementation of the Project. Based on the conclusions reached in the Initial Environmental
Study, it has been determined that the proposed Project has the potential to have significant
environmental impacts on air quality, cultural resources, geology/soils, and noise without the
implementation of mitigation measures. The analysis and conclusion reached in the Initial
Environmental Study identified mitigation measures that would reduce t to less than significant
levels.
4. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the City of Ukiah that the
Project, as mitigated, would have a significant effect on the environment.
5. The Initial Environmental Study was prepared and demonstrated there is no substantial
evidence that supports a fair argument that the Project, as mitigated, would have a
significant effect on the environment.
6. Based upon the analysis, findings, and conclusions contained in the Initial Environmental
Study, the Project, as mitigated, does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the
local or regional environment.
7. Based upon the analysis, findings, and conclusions contained in the Initial Environmental
Study, the Project, as mitigated, will not result in short-term impacts that will create a
disadvantage to long-term environmental goals.
8. Based upon the analysis, findings, and conclusions contained in the Initial Environmental
Study, the Project, as mitigated, will not result in impacts that are individually limited, but
cumulative considerable.
9. Based upon the analysis, findings, and conclusions contained in the Initial Environmental
Study, the Project, as mitigated, will not result in impacts that will cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
10. A Notice of Intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration was made available in the
following manner:
0 published in the Ukiah Daily Journal August 20, 2017;
0 posted on the Project site August 22, 2017;
� posted at the Civic Center (glass case) 72 hours prior to hearing; and,
0 mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the parcels included in the Project
on August 17, 2017.
10. The Initial Environmental Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration and record of proceedings
of the decision on the Project are available for public review at the City of Ukiah Planning
Department, Ukiah Civic Center, 300 Seminary Avenue, Ukiah, CA.
11. On September 13, 2017, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive public
comment and consider the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Holiday Inn Express Project.

AIRPORT PARK BOULEVARD
FILE NO.: 2590
Recommendation for the Approval of the Major Use Permit and Site Development
Permit: The Planning Department's recommendation for conditional approval of Major
Use Permit and Site Development Permit No. 2590 to construct a 92-unit hotel Project,
including associated improvements, is based in part on the following findings:
1. The proposed 92-19�RP �3 l9�'b9Fl�]I[�F�L�L1�P6(�--ICJ
policies of the Ukiah General Plan because it has been designed with careful
consideration with the surrounding established neighborhood.
2. The Project is consistent with the use and development standards for the Airport
Industrial Park-Planned Development Light Industrial / Mixed Use, including: site
use, maximum building height, design standards, and setbacks to property lines.
3. 714-IG3 F-K�L�HCQ�I�AIP H�F�-ICSXEQF�-D6�(�DI�
general welfare since its development, as mitigated and conditioned, will be
consistent with the requirements for construction in the City of Ukiah.
4. The granting of the Use Permit and Site Development Permit �will not cause
significant adverse environmental impacts. The site does not contain any wetlands,
creeks, endangered species, or habitat.
5. City services are available to serve the Project. The City has enacted mandatory
water conservation measures and the residents of the Project would be required to
comply with any water conservation measures in place. The Project includes drought
tolerant landscaping and water conserving irrigation. The Project has been reviewed
by Public Works Department, Electric Utility, Fire Marshal, and Building Official, and
there are adequate services and utilities to serve the Project.
6. The proposed Project would be similar in use, and intensity, as the surrounding
n e i g h b RIII�RQ_[�1�4-I�L1�[�L1M�H�RX l9�'b9F�F�'�PQ�CWaJ❑
construction and after occupancy. Conditions of approval have been applied to the
Project to address construction related noise impacts.
7. The Project is subject to the requirements of the California Green Building Code
Standards which includes specific requirements (materials and light fixtures) to
reduce energy consumption.
8. The Project site is surrounded by existing commercial uses. The Project site is not
known to contain any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status
species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and therefore the
Project would have no impact on candidate, sensitive, or special status species.
Page 9 of 18
Minutes of the Planning Commission, September 13, 2017, Continued:
There are no riparian areas or riparian habitat on the subject parcels or other
sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or
regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and
Wildlife Service. Therefore, the Project would have no impact on these
resources.
The site is highly disturbed and contains no wetlands, marshes, vernal pools,
or other water courses on the parcels included in the Project. Therefore, the
Project would have no impact on these resources.
No migratory path for wildlife species, no connection with any wildlife habitat,
no water courses are located on the parcels included in this Project.
9. The size and height of the Project is consistent with other structures in the
neighborhood and the Ukiah Airport Master Plan. The Project was reviewed by the
Design Review Board who found the Project to be consistent and compatible with
other development in the area, and appropriate for the individual parcel included in
the Project.

3 The proposed dispensary will operate under the regulations contained in the -11�t�/[D F-K3FD(�D DIJ�GD�
4 Dispensaries Ordinance (1176) adopted February 15, 2017. This Ordinance authorizes the
5 establishment of Medical Marijuana Dispensaries with the approval of a Dispensary Use Permit. The
6 ordinance provides a prescriptive set of regulations and requirements under which a dispensary can
7 operate. Staff, including Police, Fire, Public Works and Planning have reviewed the application and
8 deemed it in substantial FRqF�DC,�H�L1,PcI�FAJ-I�L1�[D HaFD� Drijuana Dispensaries Ordinance.
9 STAFF ANALYSIS
10
11 General Plan and Planned Development Consistency: The General Plan Land Use designation of the
12 subject property is Master Plan Area (MPA). MPAs are intended to cover land proposed for specific plans,
13 area plans, or as planned unit developments. The role of the MPA is to permit an area within the Ukiah
14 Valley to be designated for more precise, site-specific studies prior to approving subdivisions or other
15 uses, and the MPA must be found to be consistent with the General Plan.
16
17 The purpose of the AIP-PD is to provide for a coordinated development of compatible industrial, office,
18 and commercial land uses within the AIP area. Originally approved by City Council Resolution No. 81-59
19 on March 4, 1981, the AIP-PD has been amended several times since. Most recently, Ordinance No.
20 1151, adopted by the City Council on August 20, 2014, amended the AIP-PD, supersedes all past
21 versions, and is consistent with the General Plan. The property is zoned Light Manufacturing Mixed Use,
22 which allows retail operations like this proposal.
23
24 Ukiah Airport Master Plan Consistency:The project site is located within the B1 Airport Compatibility
25 Zone. The project is consistent with the Airport Land Use Plan as follows:
26
27 1. The project site currently contains a commercial structure that has been in operation
28 for many years as retail. Low intensity retail and offices are acceptable uses in the B1
29 zone.
30 2. Per the B1 Policy 2.1.6 of the county-wide ALUC Compatibility Plan, the subject
31 proposal qualifies as infill because:
32 a. substantial development already exists,
33 b. the project site is bounded by uses similar to those proposed,
34 c. the project will not extend the perimeter of the area developed with
35 incompatible uses, and
36 d. the proposed project does not otherwise increase the intensity or
37 incompatibility of use.
38
39 Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Ordinance (1176) Consistency: The project is subject to the criteria
40 contained in the Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Ordinance. Staff has summarized the critical criteria
41 found in the Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Ordinance as follows:
42
43 1. Basic application information about the applicant: the applicant has provided current and previous
44 addresses, photographs, employment and tax history.

ORDINANCE NO. 1176
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH AMENDING CHAPTER 8 IN
DIVISION 6; TABLE 3 IN SECTION 9223.1 OF ARTICLE 18, CHAPTER 2 IN DIVISION 9; AND
SECTION 9254 IN ARTICLE 19, CHAPTER 2 IN DIVISION 9 OF THE UKIAH CITY CODE,
ENTITLED "MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES"
The City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby ordains as follows.
SECTION 1
Chapter 8 in Division 6 of the Ukiah City Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
§ 5700 FINDINGS AND PURPOSE
The City Council adopts the ordinance codified in this Chapter based upon the following
findings:
(A) In 1970, Congress enacted the Controlled Substances Act("CSA")which, among other
things, makes it illegal to import, manufacture, distribute, possess or use marijuana in the United
States.
(B) In 1996, the voters of the state of California approved Proposition 215, or the
Compassionate Use Act of 1996, codified at Health and Safety Code §11362.5 et seq. (the"Act").
(C) The Act creates a limited exception from criminal liability for seriously ill persons who
are in need of inedical marijuana for specified medical purposes and who obtain and use medical
marijuana under limited, specified circumstances.
(D) On January 1, 2004, SB 420 went into effect. SB 420, codified as Health and Safety
Code §§ 11362.7 — 11362.83 and known as the "Medical Marijuana Program" ("MMP") was
enacted by the state legislature to clarify the scope of the act and to allow cities and other
governing bodies to adopt and enforce rules and regulations consistent with SB 420.
(E) After the enactment of the MMP and in response to the MMP's explicit reservation of
local authority to regulate medical marijuana cultivation and distribution, the City Council took
legislative notice of the fact that California cities and counties that had permitted the establishment
of inedical marijuana dispensaries had experienced serious adverse impacts associated with and
resulting from such dispensaries, including an increase in crime, including burglaries, robberies,
violence, illegal sales of marijuana, use of marijuana by minors and other persons without medical
need in the areas immediately surrounding such medical marijuana dispensaries; and malodorous
smells, indoor fire hazards, mold, fungus, and pests caused by indoor cultivation at dispensaries.
(F) To address these potential adverse impacts, in 2007, the City Council enacted
Ordinance 1095, §1 ("Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Ordinance"), which prohibited and
declared a public nuisance medical marijuana dispensaries in the City of Ukiah.
(G) The 2007 Medical Marijuana Dispensa�ies Ordinance also states that the City
Council's intention is to prohibit the operation and location of dispensaries in the City "until such
time as their legality is clearly established and a proposal can be developed that would satisfy the
city council that the facility could operate without causing [serious adverse impacts]".
1
(H)On October 9, 2015, the Governor signed into law AB 266,AB 243, and SB 643,which
together comprise the Medical Marijuana Regulation & Safety Act ("MMRSA"). The MMRSA,
which went into effect on January 1, 2016, created a statewide regulatory structure forthe medical
marijuana industry that also allows local governments to regulate the operation of marijuana
businesses within their jurisdiction, pursuant to local ordinances. Specifically, the MMRSA allows
the City of Ukiah to issue permits or licenses to operate marijuana businesses or prohibit their
operation,to regulate or expressly prohibit the delivery of inedical marijuana within its boundaries,
and to regulate or expressly prohibit the cultivation of marijuana within its boundaries. Pursuant
to the MMRSA, if the City opts not to expressly prohibit or regulate the cultivation, processing,
delivery, and/or dispensing of inedical marijuana, the State will be the sole licensing authority for
these activities in the City.
(I) To protect the public health, safety, and welfare, it is the desire of the City Council to
modify the City Code consistent with the MMP and the MMRSA, regarding the location and
operation of inedical marijuana dispensaries, delivery of inedical marijuana within the boundaries
of the City, and cultivation of inedical marijuana within the boundaries of the City.
(J) There have been a number of marijuana dispensing-related incidents in California,
some including acts of violence committed by persons without a legitimate medical need to use
marijuana.
(K)The City Council finds that medical marijuana dispensing which exceeds the limitations
set forth in these regulations will likely result in an unreasonable risk of crime and other adverse
impacts and will likely create offensive odors to persons living nearby.
(L) It is the City Council's intention that nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to (1)
allow persons to engage in conduct that endangers others or causes a public nuisance; (2) allow
the use of marijuana for non-medical purposes; or(3) allow any activity relating to the distribution
or consumption of marijuana that is otherwise illegal.
(M) Pursuant to Califomia Health and Safety Code § 11362.71 et seq., the State
�epartment of Health through the state's counties, is to be responsible for establishing and
maintaining a voluntary medical marijuana identification card program for qualified patients and
primary caregivers.
(N) Health and Safety Code§ 11362.71(b) requires every county health department, or its
designee, to implement a procedure to accept and process applications from those seeking to
join the identification program in the manner set forth in § 11362.71 et seq.
(0) This Chapter is compatible with the general objectives of the general plan, in that a
Medical Marijuana Dispensary use will be conditionally permitted in commercial and industrial
districts, being similar to other permitted and conditionally permitted uses, such as pharmacies
and medical clinics, and in that the use will be subject to strict review and conditions.
(P)This Chapter will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or
adversely affect the orderly development of property, because the uses permitted under this
Chapter will be subject to careful review, limited in scope and location, and subject to strict
operating requirements, avoiding or limiting potential negative effects.
(Q) It is the purpose and intent of this Chapter to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries
in order to promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of residents and businesses
within the City.
2

� long-practiced and very effective method to use cannabis as medicine. Careful dosing is
� important. Edibles can be used as effectively as smoking or vaporizing. We will therefore
comply with a11 labeling requirements and train aur staff on how to speak with patients
regarding test dosing, methods of ingestion and types of consumption available.
Concentrates
This line will ensure patients have a variety af consumption methods that suit each person's needs
and lifestyle. Our line is designed to provide high levels of cannabinoids and THC in a readily
accessible form, which provides instant relief for seriaus conditions. This line will b� produced
completely organically without the use of solvents ta create pure, clean, unadulterated e�tractions.
Medicinals
This line is designed to conveniently access the palliative as well as curative properties nf
cannabis. Each different delivery method of ingestion is targeted ta treat specific diseases; for
example, capsules and tonics have the potency to provide curative treatment, while the Oral Spray
and Chewing Gum are designed for unmediate palliative treatment of pain or spasticity.
Topicals
This line is designed to pravide topical applications o�cannabis for arthritic patients, or patients
� Y' with injuries. Topicals have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect to reduce or eliminate pain.
� �
Tinctures
Tinctures are not new. Tinctures are alcohol extractions of whole cannabis (usually the flawers and
trim leaves). This line is designed ta make dose control easy for patients, with rapid absorption and
effect. Tinctures can be flavored for better taste.
3.3 Services
The Applicant places a high emphasis on education - providing ample information to help patients
choase products appropriately and understand how to use them effectively and responsibly. In

languages;
• Providing free or sliding-scale products and services to indigent or low-income
����� � patients;
• Hiring a diverse staff and training them to be comfortable with diversity and

Finally, by building alliances with other health-related organizations in Ukiah, such as community
health clinics, community service organizations, patient groups, affordable housing organizations,
and medical providers, we can share our strengths, coordinate initiatives, and have a collective
positive impact on public health for which the City of Ukiah can be proud.

4.1 Market Assessment
�
� ' Ukiah is the county seat and largest city in Mendocino County. With its accessible location(along
the U.S. Route 101 corridor several miles south of CA 20), Ukiah serves as the city center for
Mendocino County and much of neighboring Lake County. The Ukiah Valley is a center of a
majar wine production industry. In 1996, Ukiah was ranked the#1 best small town ta live in
California and the sixth-best place to live in the United States.The population was 16,075 at the
2010 census. We believe the Dispensary will add great benefit to the city and its residents.

proceed beyond the screening area, patients must have their medical cannabis credentials verified
by security personnel. This requires in all cases two kinds of documents:
• Their physician issued medical cannabis recommendation; and
• A government-issued form of photo ID (other than a medical cannabis ID
card)
Patient Services
The Dispensary wi11 be open seven days a week, and we will make sure that some group activities
and essential consultative care services are available ta patients every day of the week.
The services available to our patients are described above in our discussion of services. By general
category they are:
• An on-site library providing, in multiple languages and in both written and video
formats, patient information on medical cannabis, holistic healing, legality issues,

keep a log of all patient complaints, of the response action taken, of the names of those assigned
accountability for implementing and following up on the success of the mitigation, and of the
ultimate outcome as measured against both management expectatians and reevaluated patient
satisfaction. Mitigation will continue until management and patient satisfaction is complete and
documented'. These recards will be available for the scrutiny of state, county, and municipal
oversight officials at any time. A comprehensive internal perfarmance assessment will take place
not less than annually and we will, among other self-assessment methods used, review these lags
to ensure that our dispensary is successfully employing as its standard procedure a seif-correcting
and improving operations mode.

5.3.1 Operations Manual
�'y ' The Applicant has adopted and will update a comprehensive Standard Operations Manual to guide
_ virtually every aspect of daily operations for each department (available for review upon request).
The manual, provides an excellent basis for training and addresses a wide variety of topics,
including:
• Processing and Storage- how medicine will be handled, acquired, and stored safely, and
by whom.
• Information Technology- covers cash handling, accounting and banking procedures.
• Patient Data Protectian—provides for HIPPA consistent privacy and date starage.
• Dispensing Pracedures- step-by-step guidance far providing quality service and
dispensing medicine to patients.
• Bookkeeping and Banking- cavers cash handling, accounting and banking procedures.
• Inventory Controi Plan- spells out how The Applicant will address inventory and
includes protocols to insure operational consistency and proper compliance with the
MCRSA.
• Emergency Procedures- provides specific protocols in case of inedical, police or other
emergencies to ensure rapid response involving the appropriate personnel and/or outside
authorities.
• Security- Patient, warker, and neighborhoad security are our highest priority. As
discussed more fully in our Security Plan, we have, in partnership with our security
consultant, developed a state-of the-art plan that takes advantage of the security
industry's best practices and most up-to-date technology, ensuring that our dispensary
�y ; facility operates at the highest level af legai compliance and security preparedness.
The Applicant's Security Plan is divided into twa components: Facility Security and
Clperations Seeurity. The preventive measures adopted in these components wi11 minimize our
security exposure, protecting the public, our patients, and our staff. We also are confident that
should there be any breach of security, our comprehensive response capabilities will ensure the
incident is quickly detected, contained, and resolved at the appropriate response level.
Faczlz2y Security
The key to facility security is cantrolling ingress into and movement within the building a)through
strict access protocols for emplayees and patients and b} through physical and electronic
safeguards to protect against forced or surreptitious entry or movement.
This includes:
• Securing a11 doors and windows with locks and electronic alarm mechanisms;
• Adequate lighting and video surveillance with third-party monitoring in and around the
facility;
• Round-the-clock guards monitoring the faciliiy;
• Multiple redundant electronic systems to detect intrusion or unauthorized movement
`",

�_. �
�L ��'
within the facility;
• Keycard and access-code-controlied access points in employees-only areas;
��l • Strict enforcement of identification requirements for all incoming persons;
• A secure pre-screening and reception area far incoming patients; and
• Strict enforcement af eligibility documentation and verification procedures for all
patients.
Operatians Secur�zty �
The key elements of operatianal security are: procedural security, workforce security, and
inventory security:
• Procedural security requires explicit and well-rehearsed protocols to deal with all
types of incidents and eventualities, from suspicious behavior, loitering, or on-site
consumption to fiz11-blown emergencies and premeditated security threats. Weil-
laid plans,working security systems, and staff preparedness are paramount.
• Workforce security includes background checks, proper training and drills, and
physical and electronic safeguards for empioyee safety during transactions.
• Inventory security requires a system for strict inventary tracking and control alang
with facility monitoring to prevent diversion,theft, and an-site consumption.
As reflected in our Security Plan, preventing rninor incidents of misconduct and responding
ta them appropriately when they do occur is an important strategy to reducing the
�.
likelihood of major security breaches.
�
�
� � 5.4 Location/Facility � �
5.4.1 Site Selection
Our proposed dispensary facility wi11 be located in an existing building at 1230 Airport Park
Blvd, Suite C, Ukiah, CA 95482
The existing facility is photographed in Attachment R. The site plan and floor plan are Attachment
L floor plan and is also addressed in the Security Plan E�iibit 1 mare specifically.
Property Suitability
In accordance with Ukiah's Medical Marijuana Ordinance 5707 (C)(C),the Applicant
demonstrates proposed location is zoned in Airport Industrial Park Planned Development(PD} and
exceeds a11 required buffer zones as shown in Attachment P.
Ventilation/Qdor Cantrol
In accordance with Ukiah's Medical Marijuana Ordinance Section 5'708 (H)(4}the dispensary will
be employ muitiple, state-of-the-art methods ta prevent the spread of odor beyond the facility walls
f:.
�
�
�,.
x`
�
and combat offensive odors within the facility the Company will use various methods of air
control. If the odar is reported coming from the facility at any time,the Company will make it a
�' ; priority to find the source af the spreading odor and eliminate the cause.
�
Charcoal Filters
The Applicant will install multiple charcoal-filled carbon filters placed strategically to filer the
offensive odor created by marijuana. Certain carbon filters will be set up as scrubbers where they
constantly "scrub"the air by taking in dirty air and releasing clean air. Other filter will take in
dirty air, filter it and transport the air via ducts ta a specific room ta further cleanse it.
Ozone Generators
The Company wi11 utilize ozone generators in the facility. Ozone generatars create ozane. When
ozone comes into cantact with offensive odors,the ozone virtually neutralizes the odor. Ozone
generators will be placed strategically tin places where charcoal filers are not sufficient.
Ozone sometimes ca11 "activated oxygen," contains three atoms of oxygen rather than two atoms
we normally breathe. Ozone is the second most powerful sterilizing agent in the world and can be
used to destroy bacteria, viruses and odors. Ozone occurs quite readily in nature, most often as a
result of lighting strikes that occur during thunderstorms. In fact,the"fresh, clean, spring rain"
sme11 that we notice after storm mnst often results from nature's creation af ozone.
While oznne is very powerful, it has a very limited life-cycle. When contaminants such as odars,
�a� bacteria ar viruses make contact with ozone, they are destrayed completely by oxidation. In so
� ; doing, the extra atom of oxygen is consumed and there is nothing left any odor,bacteria or extra
atom, only oxygen. Ozone reverts back to oxygen after it is used.
Lastly, as indicated in the schematics below, we plan on installing high-pressure flexi-ducts, and a
filtration system that utilizes a"virgin carbon" can filter(considered the industry standard for
dispen�ary odor elimination).

IN�ENTORY CONTROL PLAN
� � This is the written Inventory Controi Plan far Ukiah Valley Halistics ("QVe", "Us", "Our",
"Applicant"). This plan addresses and meets the application requirements of the City of Ukiah and
the state of California's Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act("MCRSA").
� INTRODUCTION
The tracking and control of inventory is essential to all aspects of our medical cannabis dispensary
operation, from keeping our products and facility secure ta fulfilling our compassianate mission.
While preventing opportunities for diversion, we seek to provide a steady supply of high-quality
cannabis to meet the medical needs of our patients. The goal of inventory control is to create a
wholly transparent process so that at any time the condition and quantity of every product,
regardless of its production stage, is dacumented. This will allow us to maintain exceptional
quality while avoiding over- or under inventory while simultaneously enabling our team to prevent
or promptly recognize any misallocation or theft.
The goals of our inventory policies and procedures are:
• ensuring product integrity for our patients,
• preventing internal or external product diversion,
• complying with local jurisdiction and state regulations, and
• tracking key statistics related to our patients,praducts, and business.
'` There are four components to th�Applicant's comprehensive inventory control regiment:
�, ,
• well-trained and well-supervised staff;
• state-of-the-art electronic inventory tracking;
• information security; and
rigorous operational protacois of management, aversight, and accountability.
Relevant to inventory cantrol is of course the averali security of our facility and operations
In accordance with tTkiah's Medical Marijuana Ordinance Section 5708(G}(3} The Applicant shall
a11ow far up to 150 square feet of the total square footage of the dispensary allocated for the display
and sales of devices necessary for administering medical marijuana, including but not limited to
rolling papers and related materials and devices,pipes,water pipes and vaporizers. Such devices
may only be purchased for by qualified patients or primary caregivers and only in accordance with
Health and Safeiy Code section 11364.5 and as amended.
The details of our security systems regarding the facility and its operations are further detailed in
the Security Plan which is incorporated by reference herein rather than being repeated. We will
note specifically that a11 packaged medical cannabis that is not under direct supervision will always
be secured in a safe or vault. In compliance with Section 5708(H){2),the Applicant sha11 have a
"suitable" locked starage an the premises identified where storage of all medical marijuana shall be
during non-business hours. Furthermore, medical cannabis and medical cannabis products shall
only be accessible by a staff persan and in accordance with a11 security protocols. This practice
� ensures that there are no security gaps between the campanents of aur inventory cantroi system.

Testing
In accordance with the MCRSA test batch samples of inedical cannabis and medical cannabis
products sold by the Applicant shall be analyzed and tested by a permitted independent laboratory
to ensure the medicine is free of harmful pesticides and other contaminants regulated under lacal,
state (Department of Faod and Agriculture} and/or federal law. All products sha11 be tested prior to
sale. In campliance with the MCRSA it shall be the distributors responsibility for quality assurance
and third party testing; however, we intend on verifying testing was undertaken and test results are
provided. Whenever possible it is the intention of the Applicant to source organically grow, local
medical marijuana and medical marijuana products.
The Appiicant shall not obtain or possess more dried marijuana or plants per qualified patient or
caregiver than permitted in strict accardance with California Health and Safety Code § 11362.77
and any other applicable State law,and as amended.
PERSONNEL-ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
A. Inventory Control Agent
The Applicant will designate an Inventary Cantrol Agent ("Inventory Control Agent"}to be the
�� _ ; dispensary employee responsible for inventory tracking and contral. The Inventory Contral Agent
v will have operational aversight over and responsibility for the Applicant's inventory control
system. The Inventory Control Agent is responsible far ensuring that this Inventory Control Plan is
implemented and operates as intended. The Agent also bears responsibility for ensuring that the
electronic tracking system is operating properly,that daily opening and closing inventories are
performed as required, and that manual inventory results tally with electranic records. Further,
they are responsible for performing a full audit af the inventary and inventory records at least ance
every thirty (30} days and whenever discrepancies are detected. Pursuant to MC12SA if reductian of
inventory is suspected due to criminal activity of a dispensary employee,the dispensary sha11 report
the employee to the City and to local law enforcement.
B. General Staff
Ali staff involved in the handling of inedical cannabis,medical cannabis products and devices will
be trained in the praper inventory control techniques that go with their jobs, and in the use of our
electronic tracking system. Because of the importance of inventory tracking to our operations, we
also anticipate that other management level positions will be involved in inventary tracking: the IT
manager or similar title will be responsible for the security and functioning of the data management
system and the security manager will be respansibie far the initiation of security reviews when
inventories do not tally.
Of course, a11 aspects of the sale of inedical cannabis, including the inventory processes, occur
under video surveiilance, ensuring employee accountability even if there is a temporary disruptian
� ` . of the inventory tracking process described in this document.

� `�
Under Section 5708(D)(4)the Applicant shall strictly prahibit on-site to evaluations and all patients
��"� must provide their patient recommendation and ID verification
INVENTCIRY CONTROL SYSTEM- CAPABILITIES
The foundation of our inventory tracking system is the state-of-the art TREEZ saftware application.
(See, Letter of Intent Attachment N). This system has extremely flexible inventory capabilities
perfectly suited to the camplex challenges we face in high-security inventory tracking. A general
overview of how our inventory tracking system will operate is sketched in this section.
Real-time information about the storage, sale,return, and disposal of inventary is entered into this
system, creating a comprehensive data management system that documents every aspect of our
operation:
• allowing the dispensary to knaw what strains and quantities are or soon will be available,
• creating timely alerts on low inventory, and
It will also keep track of;
• recalled and returned medical cannabis,
• medical cannabis designated for disposal,
• immature plants designated for dispasal, and
` • medical cannabis already disposed of.
�
��.
�A,--
At any given time,we will be abie to access infarmation an:
• the products in transit,
• current inventory levels at aur dispensary,
= the amount of inedicinal cannabis sold, and
• what strains and quantities are currentiy in the possession of registered patients.
To sumznarize, at any time the Applicant can generate an accurate snapshat of current medical
cannabis and holdings, and the number and kind of products ready for sale. Reai-time up-dates
about the acquisition, sale, delivery, return, and dispasal of inventory are entered into this system,
praviding comprehensive data management documenting every aspect of our operatian.
Inventarv Records—TREEZ
The Applicant shall utilize point of sale software to track inventory and sales. The point of sale
software shali be,upon regulatory implementation of the MCRSA, campliant with the State Unique
Identifier and Track and Trace Program(Business and Professions Code 19335 (a)).
The Applicant shall keep a cflmplete set of books of account, invoices, capies of orders and sales,
shipping instructions,bills of lading, weigh bilis, bank statements including cancelled checks and
deposit slips and all other records necessary to show fully the business transactions.
�

Ukiah Valley Holistics—Inventory Control
�r �yY
Receipts shall be maintained via a computer program or by pre-numbered receipts and used for
each sale. The records of the business shall clearly track medical marijuana praduct inventary
�`'�` purchased and/ar grawn and sales and disposal thereof to clearly track revenue from sales af any
� medical marijuana from other paraphemalia{devices) or services offered by the Dispensary.
An inventory record documenting the dates and amounts of Medical Marijuana sold at the Property,
and the daily amounts of Medical Marijuana stared at the properiy. The records shall clearly show

In compliance with Section 5708(D)(5) all patient records shall be maintained and verified as
needed (at least annually). The records shall include at minimum the qualifying patient's medical
doctor or dactor of osteopathy unless the patient has pravided a California Medical Marijuana
Identification Card or a Patient ID Center ldentification Card. Ail records kept and maintained by
the Applicant shall at all times protect the canfidential information of the patient or caregiver. All
records must be identified as co�dential and any disclosure sha11 be limited in a manner that
maintains the confidentiality of the information contained therein.
INFORMATICIN SECUR.ITY
We will limit access to this network by using unique user passwords and by restricting IP addresses
and MAC addresses to specific computers. The use af third party emaii, web, and data servers will
be avoided. We will pravide training on user procedures. Our inventary recordkeeping and
software system will be managed by our IT Directar. A11 data.and information will be secured and
� ' encrypted and backed up autamatically every night,not aniy to a private server an site,but also to a
�`�w�•v ` secure, off-site server lacation,thus safeguarding our data against disaster. For data backup,we
will be using site to site with storage to RAIDS protected NAIS.
(?PERATIONAL PROCEDURES
A. General Inventory Guidelines
Appropriate managers will be respansible for performing inventary, upon delivery, af a11 newly-
acquired non-medical cannabis materials i.e. dispensary supplies. They will provide their written
inventory results ta our accountants far reconciliation with Purchase Orders.
Inventory of inedical cannabis will be precise, down to .Sg of a gram far some purposes. VJe will
use precisian scales that are calibrated daily. All weights must fall within specific tolerance ranges
to ensure there is no inventory shrinkage: .
• one gram must weight 1.03 grams+/- .02 grams
• each 1/8 oz. must weigh 3.55 grams+/- 0.2 grams
� • each oz. must weigh 2$.55 grams+/- 0.2 grams
The inventory iracking system creates an alert if weights fall outside of specified tolerance ranges.

Ukiah Valley Holistics—Inventory Cantrol
� ���
Any discrepancies between actual and recorded inventory will trigger an audit of inventory
holdings and inventory records by the Inventory Control Agent sufficient to identify the problem.
s'" Confirmed inventory shrinkage wi11 trigger a review of security and surveillance data and the
� implementation of appropriate corrective measures. Law enforcement authorities will be notified
imrnediately if the Inventory Control Agent ascertains that there has indeed been lass,theft,
impraper diversion, or any other criminal activiiy.
The records of a11 inventories will show:
• the time and date af the inventory,
• the inventory results,
• the names and registry identificatian numbers af the employees performing the inventary,
and
• their signatures.
The electranic record will be maintained in our database for at least ane (1)year. A hard-copy
printaut of the inventory results will be signed by the employee(s)who have performed the
inventory and kept on file (as a paper hard copy or in scanned facsimile) also for at least ane (1)
years. Pursuant to Section 5'708(D)(5)infarmation regarding the Applications prior year's operations
shall be accessible and available ta the City andlor law enforcement upon request. The Applicant
understands and agrees that they shall be required to adjust operatians to address and cure any
issues discovered by law enforcement antUor the City upon inspection.
B. Tracking and Recardkeeping af Daily Operations
�., Daily operations are defined by critical transitions: opening for business, acquiring, selling,
delivering, or dispc�sing of inventory, closing far the day, etc. The inventory tracking system will
be designed to enable us to document inventory status/flaw for each critical transitian event:
• beginning inventary
• acquisitions
• sales
• disbursements
• deliveries
• returns
• disposals and
• closing inventory
At each step,those involved in handling the inventory must identify themselves to the system with
a secure authenticatian procedure (e.g., a unique employee password or electronically-readable ID),
The type of transitian event will be indicated and the inventory is identified by electronic reading of
its tracking number. The system autamatically aggregates inventory by the types of transitians
through which it passes(all sales, all deliveries, etc.) and by time of day (e.g.,the disposition of any
and every product at 3:OOpm: being in transit, soid, etc.). Where applicable (e.g., whenever loose
inventory is being handled}, authorized personnel will determine the weight of the product, entering
it into the system. In this way, the flow of inventory through aur facility is fully documented in
��r = rea1 time.
�
r... �
Ukiah Valley Holistics—Inventory Control
�
�� � �
We anticipate that all our data eventually will be generated by electronic reading including weight.
This will be done with saftware that interfaces with digital scales. Furthermare,we aim to make
our tracking system self-monitoring so that discrepant, invalid, or missing data would generate an
�� w automatic alert. � �
C. Opening and Closing Inventories
A comprehensive inventory of all medical cannabis, medical cannabis products and devices will be
accounted for twice daily: before commencement and after close of daily operations. All medical
cannabis and items containing cannabis are counted, weighed, ar both.
These inventory results will be submitted to the Inventary Control Agent for reconciliation with the
inventory data generated the previous evening ar in the aperations af the day after being closed aut.
Any discrepancies wi11 trigger an inventary auclit by the Inventory Cantrol Agent and, if confirmed,
a review of electronic security and surveillance data. Law enforcement authorities will be notified
immediately if the Inventory Cantrol Agent ascertains that there has indeed been loss,theft,
improper diversion, or any other criminal activity.
D. Mandated Monthly Inventories
At intervals not exceeding thirty (30) days,the Inventary Control Agent wiil conduct and document
an audit of the inventory that is accounted for accarding to generally accepted accounting
principles. Any unexplained shrinkage will be documented and trigger a review af electronic
security and surveillance data. When the Applicant determines where the shrinkage occurred,
�Y appropriate corrective measures will be implemented. Law enforcement autharities will be notified
�M_ ' immediately if the Inventory Control Agent ascertains that there has indeed been loss, theft,
improper diversion, or any other criminal activity.
E. External Acquisition of Medical Cannabis
To begin start up and as needed thereafter we will acquire cannabis from a licensed(under the
Medical Marijuana Program(Prop 215, SB 420 and the 20Q8 Attorney Guidelines) or the 1VICRSA)
cultivation andlor manufacturing operation. V�henever possible, it is the Applicant's desired
intention to source organically, locally grawn marijuana. In time with the full implementation of
the MCRSA the Company will transition to exclusively obtaining our medical cannabis and
medical cannabis products from licensed cultivator(s) and manufacturer(s)via a licensed
Transporter and Distributor.
1. Acquiring from Authorized Cultivatars and Manufacturers.
When acquiring medical cannabis from another cultivator, manufacturer via authorized Distributor
and Transporter(once MCRSA is fu11y implemented)we will require all tracking informatian for
the medication including: testing results,the strain,batch number,birth date,harvest date (where
applicable), cultivation history, list af all chemical agents ar additives used on it, quality control
data, and any other relevant information. We will nat accept cannabis if the source provider is
unable to verify that the cannabis meets that local and state standards as well as our own regarding
<t quality.

I. Return and Recall Protocols
Medical cannabis may be returned to aur facility for several reasans:
• it is na longer needed by the patient or the patient's registratian has expired or been
revoked;
• it is found to be defective by the patient; or
• it has been recalled by the dispensary due to qualiiy concerns with the associated batch.
Product No Longer Needed ar No Longer Lieit. If inedical cannabis or medical cannabis products
are returned because it is no longer needed or the patient's registration expires or is revoked,then
pending verification that it was in fact dispensed by aur facility,the patient wili receive a receipt
indicating the type, date, and amount of returned medical cannabis ar medical cannabis products.
Product Returned as Unsatisfactory. The Applicant believes that a custamer-friendly return policy
,°� is essential ta all aspects of our aperation. We would like ta be made aware as soan as possible af
any product safety issues that have escaped our screening process so that we can promptly analyze
and correct the prabiem. An unaccepting attitude toward product retuxns wi11 only discourage
reporting of quality concerns and encaurage diversian far monetary gain. We wi11 serve aur
mission better by supporting the return of products that patients find unsatisfactory. 4ur goal is to
develop a policy that neither discourages nor incentivizes returns.
Any products returned for quality reasons are weighed and sent far inspectian and analysis. If
evidence of pests, contamination, or other defects is found,the inventory tracking system will
identify all products derived fram the same plant or batch(regardless whether they are still in our
dispensary or have been dispensed to patients or caregivers), allowing us to do wider testing and
remediate, protect, or dispose of inventory as needed and recall products when necessary.
Patients will be informed of our return policies and rules both verbally and in writing when making
a purchase at our dispensary. We will make sure patients understand that:
• to return praducts,they must first make, in advance, an appointment specifically for this
purpose;
• medical cannabis damaged by improper storage by the patient may be returned,but shall not
be replaced; or
• the medical cannabis must have in fact been purchased at our faciliry and have been the
most recent purchase made by the patient or by the patient's designated caregiver an the
� . � patient's behalf.
�
�.�.
12

VVe will strictly enforce a fraudulent return policy by informing patients that attempting to return
cannabis that was not in fact purchased at our dispensary will result in a denial of further
purchasing privileges at the dispensary.
Recalled Medical Cannabis or Medieal Cannabis Products. V�e wiil wark to develop a responsible
palicy on compensating patients for recalled praducts.
J. Disposal and Destruction Protocols

circumstances:

to meet other quality control standards;

Disposal
�`'
�= �,.' Procedures for Destroying Medical Cannabis. The Applicant will work with local law
enforcement to develop palicies and procedures for the lawful destruction of inedical cannabis
and/or medical cannabis products. Our first choice is to turn medically unusable cannabis over to
local law enforcement far destruction. We would arrange far them to take possession of it on
certain specially or regularly arranged days.
Our secand choice is to process defective medical cannabis and or medical cannabis products in-
hause by degrading then inta a wholly unusable form: grinding and sailing medical cannabis waste
with non-consumable solid wastes. In this form, medical cannabis waste can be disposed of at a
California approved waste facility.
Whenever cannabis is turned aver to the police for destruction, an inventory record is generated
indicating:
• the control numbers associated with the medical cannabis turned over for destruction;
• the reason it was turned over for destruction;
• the names and signatures of the law enforcement officials receiving the medical cannabis,
• the amount turned over; and
• the date and time it was turned over.
The Inventory Cantrol Agent must be present for the inventory transfer and must, along with at
least one other employee acting as witness, sign a printed record of inventory transfer,which will
� ; be kept as a hard cnpy or electronically as a scanned facsimile for not less than one(1) year.

� ` CONCLUSION
�
We have described the critical components of our Inventory Control System. We have identified
the staffing positions involved in the oversight and execution of all aspects of inventory control and
the key elements in the quality control of aur human resources: training, oversight, and
accountability. We have detailed the technical capabilities and security safeguards of our electronic
tracking and data management systems. Far any job responsibility,the perfarmance of which
involves handling cannabis, we have described how inventory-tracking procedures are integrated
inta its execution. Our operational procedures are therefore fully transparent and accountable. The
reliability of this system of built-in cantrols is checked twice daily by comprehensive inventories,
and all of these production operations and control procedures occur under secure video
surveillance.
However, we have not yet said anything about the most important oversight of all, which is the
oversight of the State of Galifornia over our business operations. The Applicant understands that
we are responsible for facilitating this oversight by dacumenting or being able to document on
demand proof that we are in full compliance with the laws of the State of California and the rules
and regulations of the City and any other applicable Agencies.
We believe the Inventory Control Plan described here meets or exceeds the legal and regulatory
requirements of the State and all relevant Agencies, including the reporting requirements. The
system of aperational procedures we have described generates real-time records of all production
activities. These records are immediately cached in our secure databases. Their reliability is
�� verified by a comprehensive inventory performed twice daily. The results of these inventories are
14

�r w�.
� �
�
added to our secure data cache and reconciled with the operationally generated data. Audits and
security reviews are also documented in the system. This database is comprehensive. It will be
�r�` fully auditable and searchable. Data will be preserved for one {1} year and made available to State
�
£ --- and City authorities at any time.

DATE: September 27, 2017
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Kevin Thompson, Planning Manager
Darcy Vaughn, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Amendments to the Ukiah Municipal Code related to the Medical Marijuana
Dispensary Ordinance (clean up), personal cultivation regulations, and allowing
and permitting cannabis related businesses to operate within the City limits.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission review, conduct a public hearing and recommend
approval of the proposed ordinance amendments to the City Council. The proposal would
amend sections of the Ukiah Municipal Code (UMC) in four primary areas as summarized
below:
Amendment 1: Consists of a number of clean-up items proposed for the current
Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Ordinance, both for clarity and to comply with recent
revisions to California cannabis laws via Proposition 64. Also known as the Adult
8 VH[�I[� D11��4DG0�F�❑8 0 �❑F�3l9�SRvl1l'�C,2�❑C�, and SB 94, also known as the
Medicinal and Adult-8VH�I]DC�ELV�H1X�DIFi�F1�0 ❑8 ❑56❑�
Amendment 2: Modifies the ❑�CL�annabis cultivation regulations found in
�PQH��R�HC5 HJ X�1�Q�/[ID�1G[IDF�U�R'C�-I to comply with the AU MA.
Amendment 3: Modifies �PQFi�L�RQC�J�RC�i���EQVFQQI�equirements for
operation of Cannabis Related Businesses- not including businesses engaged in the
retail sale and delivery of Cannabis- within the City limits pursuant to a Major Use
Permit and procedures for granting said Major Use Permits and annual renewal
procedures for Permits issued.
Amendment 4: Adds new definitions to the Zoning Code to ease interpretation of a
number of the proposed additions to the Zoning Code regarding cannabis regulation.
Ukiah Municipal Code Amendments
1
Background:
These Ordinance amendments were created through an Ad Hoc committee comprised of
Council members Mulheren and Brown, the City Manager, Planning Manager, City Attorney,
Assistant City Attorney, and Chief of Police. The Ad Hoc committee was created by the City
Council on July 1, 2015, in part, in anticipation of the adoption of the Medical Cannabis
5 HJX�DIF�FV�O �56❑� FZYI-P EI�❑C❑. After completing the Medical
Marijuana Dispensary Ordinance, the Ad Hoc began work on the implementation of Proposition
64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act C�❑8 0 ❑�3l9ZSRvL1�Q���approved in November 2016.
In addition, in June 2017, the State of California enacted a clean-up bill, SB 94, the Medicinal
and Adult-8 VH�DG1GpELVC5 HJX�DII�F1�0 ❑8 ❑5 6❑ �
LCFRC�LV�PoI�I-I�H-IC�-I[��,6D�,PoI�d-llulatory approach to commercial enterprises dealing in
medical cannabis versus commercial enterprises dealing in recreational cannabis. The
MAUCRSA effectively repealed the MCRSA, making it necessary for the Ad Hoc to 1) review
and propose amendments to those provisions of the UMC that are inconsistent with the
MAUCRSA and 2) to brainstorm approaches to implementing the MAUCRSA.
Proposed Changes:
AMENDMENT 1: CLEAN-UP ITEMS TO THE CURRENT MEDICAL MARIJUANA
DISPENSARY ORDINANCE
A number of sections in the Medical Marijuana Dispensary Ordinance are proposed to be
amended to address 1) inconsistencies between the Ordinance and the most recent State
cannabis laws and to 2) incorporate input from the Ukiah Police Department.
Summary of amendments:
1. §5701 INTERPRETATION AND APPLICABILITY, and §5702 DEFINITIONS: The
purpose of these amendments is to reference the definitions section for commercial
cannabis activity in the MAUCRSA, as codified in the California Business and
Professions Code. The MAUCRSA repealed the former definitions section of the
MCRSA referenced in the current Dispensaries Ordinance.
2. §5708 OPERATING REQUIREMENTS:
a. This amendment incorporates language from the AUMA regarding the effect of
this State law on the consideration of past felonies in issuance of a license or
permit to operate a cannabis dispensary. Per the California Business and
Professions Code §26057, applicants with a history of certain criminal
convictions may still be eligible to operate Medical Marijuana Dispensaries and
other Cannabis Related Businesses provided that said felonies have been
expunged from their records. This amendment also specifies that prior
convictions for certain cannabis-related drug offenses cannot be the sole basis
for denial of a Dispensary Use Permit application. Finally, this amendment
corrects a reference to a State law provision that was amended by the
MAUCRSA, and that enumerates the types of felony offenses that may result in
denial of a license or permit to operate a cannabis dispensary.
Ukiah Municipal Code Amendments
2
b. Corrects �QJ�1 H�d-U DIsaQJ[�KdvLEIDC�D6Sl9ZYDC�o refer more generally to an
Article 2.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, as amended by the
MAUCRSA, exclusively regulating medical cannabis.
c. Amends language regarding on-site cultivation to reference 3D6SQFDE�1�1�,fbl�
laws and regulations0 The revised reference encompasses a larger range of
State laws and regulations to put dispensary applicants on notice that the full
range of State laws regulating medical cannabis cultivation apply to operation of
a dispensary that engages in cultivation.
d. Amends language regarding requirements for retention and availability of digital
security video as requested by Ukiah Police Department.
e. Amends language providing the City an option to use consultants to verify
compliance with the Ordinance.
3. §5710 CRITERIA FOR REVIEW- Clarifies parking requirements for dispensaries that
provide medical cannabis to qualified patients through deliveries only and where no on-
site sales occur.
AMENDMENT 2: CLEAN-UP ITEMS FOR CURRENT CULTIVATION REGULATIONS
The City currently regulates the cultivation of cannabis plants for personal use in residential
areas. Proposition 64 sets the maximum number of plants allowed for personal use at six per
household. While Proposition 64 authorizes local governments to reasonably regulate cultivation
of cannabis for personal use, including banning outdoor cultivation, it specifies that any local
government prohibiting outdoor cultivation entirely will not be eligible for certain grants to local
governments to assist with law enforcement, fire protection, or other local programs addressing
public health and safety associated with the implementation of Proposition 64. Currently, the
UMC §6093 allows a cultivation of maximum of twelve indoor plants. This amendment
addresses the conflict between Proposition 64 and UMC §6093 DC�G=DIPV�Ill-NF-��I-i�W-I�L1�
grant eligibility by allowing outdoor cultivation of cannabis in a greenhouse:
§6093 MARIJUANA CULTIVATION PROHIBITED- This amendment clarifies how many
plants can be cultivated. It proposes six mature plants per household, either indoor, or
outdoor within a greenhouse. Limiting outdoor cultivation to greenhouses only is in
conformance with Proposition 64. A definition of Greenhouse that specifies certain
standards for greenhouses constructed for the purpose of cannabis cultivation and
requires prevention of nuisance conditions is proposed for the Definitions section of the
current UCC §9254, entitled Marijuana Cultivation.
AMENDMENT 3: §9062 USES PERMITTED WITH SECURING A USE PERMIT
Amendment 3 is related to the Zoning Ordinance. It creates a new 3Permitted Use❑(with a Major
Use Permit), in a number of non-residential zoning districts, entitled 3❑DC�GDELV�5 F-I�PoIG�
CXVLC�IW�which is defined as follows:
CANNABIS RELATED BUSINESS: A commercial enterprise engaged in the cultivation,
possession, manufacture, processing, storing, laboratory testing, labeling, transporting, or
Ukiah Municipal Code Amendments
3
distribution, of cannabis or a cannabis product, including a Microbusiness as defined in
Business and Professions Code Section 26070, except as set forth in Business and Professions
Code Section 26033 related to qualifying patients and primary caregivers, Division 6, Chapter 8
of the UMC pertaining to regulation of marijuana dispensaries and issuance and renewal of
Dispensary Use Permits, and Section 9254 of this Chapter pertaining to cultivation of marijuana
for personal use. For purposes of this Article, this definition of a Cannabis Related Business
excludes businesses engaged in the retail sale and delivery of Cannabis, Cannabis products, or
Cannabinoid Preparations to patients or customers, which are regulated under Division 6,
Chapter 8 of this Code.
Cannabis Related Businesses- not including businesses engaged in the retail sale and delivery
of Cannabis, under this amendment- will be allowed with a Major Use Permit in the following
zoning districts:
1. Neighborhood Commercial (C-N)
2. Community Commercial (C-1)
3. Heavy Commercial (C-2)
4. Manufacturing (M)
5. Public Facilities (PF)
6. General Urban (GU)
7. Urban Center (UC)
8. Downtown Core (DC)
§9262 USE PERMIT PROCEDURES- The decision on whether to approve an application for a
Major Use Permit for a Cannabis Related Business will be made by the Planning Commission.
Staff will provide findings and conditions of approval based on the location and nature of the
business. The Ordinance adds new subsections to UCC §9262 which set forth the procedure
pursuant to which a Major Use Permit for a Cannabis Related Business will be reviewed
annually by the Zoning Administrator. Pursuant to the annual review process, the Zoning
Administrator is required to make certain findings of fact that may be grounds for revocation of
the Major Use Permit, such as:
1. Failure to adhere to the Conditions of Approval;
2. Excessive number of calls for police service compared to similarly-situated
businesses;
3. Excessive secondary criminal or public nuisance impacts;
4. Inadequate safeguards or procedures;
5. Non-payment of fees;
6. Subsequent felony conviction, under certain circumstances;
7. Engaging in unlawful, fraudulent, unfair, or deceptive business acts or
practices;
8. Failure to comply with applicable State law and provisions of the Code.
In addition, §9262 sets forth a procedure for revocation of a Cannabis Related Business Major
Use Permit. If the business is operated in a manner that violates the conditions of approval
imposed by the Major Use Permit or the provisions of this Code, or conflicts with State law the
Zoning Administrator can make findings and revoke the Major Use Permit after conducting a
public hearing pursuant to UMC §9262(H)(2)�SSI-Dm'[�I�-I�RC�Q1�C�
Ukiah Municipal Code Amendments
4
are heard by the Planning Commission. The decision of the Planning Commission on the
revocation is final.
AMENDMENT 4: §9278 DEFINITIONS
Definitions of the following terms will be added to the UMC with this Ordinance amendment:
1. Cannabinoid preparations
2. Cannabis
3. Cannabis Related Business
4. Greenhouse
5. Marijuana
6. Outdoor Cultivation
Regulatory Framework-General Plan:
The proposed amendments are consistent with the Goals and Policies found in the Economic
C M'�I�'SP FiG� �P FiQ�I�Fizl I�� XSSRIW��Af�C,1J�FD� FRC��P �
establishing development and operational standards for these types of projects will streamline
the process and provide clarity for applicants wishing to establish these uses, while still allowing
staff and the Planning Commission to recommend and impose requirements and standards that
preserve public health and safety. Simplifying the process for applying for and obtaining
approval for these types of projects will in turn help to support the local economy.
