[gavel] supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: i have onee question. i want to clarify, this colloca, does it have anything to do wite selling any ownership of their g business to come in? it would be separate permitsç d separate ownership all of that. >> exactly. they're all -- the permit -- >> each permitee would have then permit? this is not selling -- >> as i understand it. >> supervisor farrell: okay. thank you very much for that it. i do have one that we've distrid essentially taking the item in e bulk ri filey file -- excuse me. item 3, thank you. -- the clean file. it would be amendments triking . retail use will require authorif there are more than two other cs retail establishments or m.c.d.n combination with a -- it was mee a thousand foot radius. i'd like to replace that. it was two for 1,000 feet with e that states th it shall not be s retailer. we're replacing two for 1,000 tr 600 and the language that we han prior versions. i'd like to make that amendmente clean version. it's more restrictive than what currently exists in there.ç >> so a question to deputy cityy wong or givner which is if we gh the more restrictive today in c, should the board -- the board we a lot of options tomorrow. but they could expand that. so in so far as hopefully we'lle file out without recommendatione can continue this lovely convern tomorrow. i will support it for the purpof having that conversation tomorr. >> okay. a motion? >> supervisor peskin: that's a . >> ray motion by supervisor pes. supervisor tang without objecti? so moved. supervisosupervisor peskin. i don't believe you have any ams at this point? >> i do not. but i think there are a number f amendments, supervisor sheehy so the thrust of them at the beginf this meeting that we are able te tomorrow. i did mention at the last hearin committee that i intended to ast will as of right, be turned to y d.r. i subsequently decided that insf requiring 312 notice is the quao so i will not make that amendmee may make a section 312 notice tw at the full board. >> okay. then supervisor safai, did you y comments? >> supervisor safai: on that? >> supervisor tang. >> on that note, i had an amendt on -- i think it's major 9 of it it should be for both files, thy and the clean one. originally i proposed a mandato. for district 4 and district 7. we'd like to city-wide require 2 notification. this still allows for neighborhd notification. the ex ability to appeal when a grandfathered m.c.d. wants to ha change of use to a cannabis ret. a 312 notification, this would e city-wide not just for district7 so the motion for both files. >> can you reiterate? >> originally i had mad a motio- made i motion for a mandatory d. now i change it such that it's 2 notification which is neighborhd notification, 30 day window forl districts. not just 4 and 7. for existing m.c.d.s that seek a change of use that allow for cas retail. >> are you talking about for thl permanent permit? >> that's right. not a temporary. >> when they go through the fin- >> for the final. >> i'm clear, thank you. >> for the purpose of having ths discussion tomorrow at the full, if we send this without recomme, i'm happy to adopt it. so we can have the conversation tomorrow. deputies -- >> deputy city attorney jon giv. the mandatory d.r. requirement n section 190 for district 4 and t 7 m.c.d.s is in the dirty versi- or bulky version. >> item 4. >> it's not in item number 3. as i understand the amendment, supervisor tang is pro poadzing- proposing to delete that mandat. from item 4 and add into both ia requirement for 312 notice. >> that is correct. >> along lines of supervisor pen stated, and i think to get this forwarded to have a discussion , i'm happy to support that. for motion by supervisor tang tn without objection. >> and to reiterate, this is son have more comprehensive streamld policies along all districts&stw for the neighborhood notificatie ability to have a right to appei think are the important poan exs of the mandatory d.c. -- componf the mandatory d.r. i wanted to put it into hig eyee bulky version. as you see here in the highlighd versions areas south of lincolnd west of sunset boulevard, a maxf two cannabis retail uses and m.s and any combination shall be ped at any time. any such m.c.d. must obtain a cr conditional use authorization. while it seems i'm trying to lie m.c.d.s, imexpanding the green e into the outer district. this reflects the additional ncs in which i add to the green zon. then if you go to the tables fof our n.d.c.s. irving, ortega, there is a maxim number of one m.c.d. or cannabil establishment per manipulated ay given time. it would allow district 4 to hae potentially up to 6 establishme. again, although it may be seen e carving out districts or puttinn caps, realities of expanding thn zone in the district while puttn what i think are reasonable conn each of the commercial corridor. i'd like that to be an item fou. >> okay. motion by supervisor tang. can we take that without object? so moved. [gavel] >> an >> supervisor tang: and two oths i'm not making amendments to bui wanted to bring up, i heard in c comment an issue from at least e operator, there may be more, i't aware of this, that they were in compliance and operating in come with the compassionate care actt down by the feds, currently hava provisional permit. where do they stand in this pro? culting with the city attorney', we believe this will be somethit will need to be handled in the m before the rules committee and n land use. that is something that we're vey interested in termsz of operatiy ensuring if you're in complianch the compassionate care act prev, now operatesoing under provisiol permit and as a result of the fs shutting you down, there is a ps for you moving forward. i think that's fair. that will be addressed by the rs committee. lastly, i did have an issue wite grandfathering date that was st, i think both pieces of legislat. at least i think it starts on p. seconds 190, the grandfatheringf july 20th, 2017 i had raised soe concerns in the first land use e meeting because there were, i ts board had agreed upon when super cohen's interim moratorium dates passed, there were a certain nuf m.c.d.s that would have been grandfathered in during a hearie set. i think the july 20th window hop queue that i was not okay with. i understand that the supervisee made this amendment wants to moe forward some of the applicants s district which i'm fine with, bi don't know that we're going to e language today. i just wanted to raise that thid grandfathering date is arbitrar. i think we ought to address thi. that's all the amendments i hav. >> thank you. supervisor peskin. >> i was going to make a moaks d item three to the full board wit recommendation as a committee r. >> supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: one to reso supervisor tang's compassionate. we introduced amendments today n committee to allow for there toa path of travel or path forward w operators to participate in the compassion program. we did make that amendment todao you'll see a that at the full bd tomorrow. the only other thing we discusss the conversations around m.c.s.. do we have that hang? that lank had been introduced? >> yes. >> so it would be -- >> hold on. let's confirm with our city atts office. i thought the n.c.s. -- >> at the committee meeting las, supervisor safai wanted to makes retail use a c.u. insteaded pro. we prepared that amendment. >> so if someone -- do i make t? or i'm happy to -- >> do you want to make the motin supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: i'll mach an in behalf of supervisor safai. >> supervisor farrell: motion by supervisor tang. can we take that without object? so moved.

about those shutdown by the fed? >> nicole elliot office of cann. what supervisor safai is speakis a program that supports providiw cost or free cannabis to low ine patients. i think supervisor tang, what ye speaking to is the act of 1996 t down because of federal enforcer threat of federal enforcement. while compassionate use is in bh remps, one is a program and thes operation and closure of the opn by federal activity. >> essentially we would have ton amendment in the rules committee legislation. great, thank you. >> and i have one more questioni want -- that i need to clarify. going back to supervisor cohen's meavment aboutç-amendment's abt collocation, i wanted to ask, wd the -- i guess the way i underse play out, there would be an exig operator in a space andç that e else would apply to operate in t space to share. would they have to go through te procedure of submitting to the g department of public health, yor office, they'd go through the se approvals. it wouldn't be anything differem the process that anyone would gh to be approved to locate in tha. the only thing that we're doingh this amendment is saying you cae more than one licensee in the se address. ?a the way i understand it? >> i believe so. i believe this is not subjectinl in the same parcel to the same anticlusterring goals. there was a lot to be developedw that would work to house retailn one location on the same premis. and whether or not the state wiw that. so we'll learn more as the stats their emergency regulations. >> the only other thing, what at non-retail? we talked about that this mornih regard to accessory use for manufacturers and so we're prepo take that up as part of trailing conversation in terms of trailig legislation. but does this amendment allow fr non-retail to collocate? >> this amendment seeks only to, supervisor. as you know, the state has defid premises very specifically and e seeking more state guidance foru can locate very -- multiple lice holders and permit holders on te parcel, but different premises. that is something that we'll neo develop in conversation with th. >> in terms of having non-retaie in the same location? >> correct. >> wwe cannot do this through ts amendment? >> no you cannot. >> that is something we need tok about. in terms of space, in terms of d terms of everything we heard toi want to throw that out there. i think this is a really good a. but i think we should be thinkit the non-retail. >> i would agree and say once te issues the emergency regulatione have a better sense of how theye that, we need to look at trailig legislation. >> thank you. >> supervisor farrell: so unlese are any other comments or queste have items three and four in frf us. i would say i think there is goe a motion -- let's be clear, we d one of these items forward if is tie debate tomorrow, we could af we forward item 3 and keep itemn committee, we could potentiallyd elements of item four into the e tomorrow. i think we'll preserve all optif you will, on the table. i think we'll have a robust disn at the full board and hope thatn move in item forward. >> mr. chairman. >> supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: i'd like e that motion as item three has bn further maned. i would like to make a motion td item 3 as several times amendede full board as a committee report recommendation for hearing tomow november 14th. >> supervisor farrell: would you consider adding to your motion continuing item 4. >> continuing item 4 to the cale chair. >> we can take that without objn dpf.[gavel] madam clerk, any other businesst of us?
