Yes. Public hearing? First agenda item. This is time to... We'll take the general business item. Yes. Yes. Sorry, I skipped down. Under general business, community development, cannabis retail business approval process.

Can you clarify how many storefronts are operational right now?

We open public hearing. Item A, Community Development Condition Use Permit, number 0071, Act 26, a request by Embark and Hanford to permit a cannabis business to operate a storefront dispensary for retail of cannabis products at 610 West 7th Street in the MXD Downtown Mixed Use Zone District. APN 012, Act 061, Act 007.

I have questions. thought I saw it in there but I when I went back to look I couldn't find it do we know where the employees will be parking I believe in the rear of the building the rear of the building okay So they had, in their executive summary, they had detailed how there's 10 dedicated spots. That's great for customer convenience. When I looked at the building plans, it did not have any rear entry. So the handicap spot and any parking in the rear aren't really customer convenient. So that would leave parking only in front of the building. So they do talk about... parking being available

I do have an additional question, just like it's similar to what Commissioner McQueen mentioned. So it's like, how the missing back door impacts the emergency egress and accessibility plans?

Yeah, I mean, I think in part of the plans, they were not.

There's only the delivery door on the plans, which is closed off. So if there's people inside the building, the only way out would be through the front because all of it's locked down.

I'll open the public comment portion of the public hearing. I will now open the public portion of the public hearing. We take comments from those in favor first. Five minutes will be allowed for each speaker. Please state your name for the record. We cannot require a name if a person refuses. Anyone opposed wish to, I'm sorry, we'll stay with the in favor of. Anybody in favor that wants to make comments?

Generally speaking, are you talking about where the stereo shop is right now? Yes. Okay. Generally speaking, it's the property owner's responsibility to lease their parking lots and... No, no, I'm not saying that part.
