To: City Council
Subject: Approval of the Public Improvement Agreement, and acceptance of the associated dedication of easements for public purposes for the Cotati Hotel Project located at 147 St Josephs Way
Date: August 08, 2023
Written by: Craig Scott, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation
It is recommended the City Council of the City of Cotati adopt a resolution to:

1. Approve the Public Improvement Agreement substantially in the form attached; and

2. Approve the Parcel Map, substantially in the form attached, including the dedications described in the resolution; and

3. Approve an agreement for inspection of public improvements; and

Background
On May 13, 2019, the Planning Commission of the City of Cotati adopted a resolution approving the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and approving Design Review, Variances, and a Use Permit for the Cotati Hotel with associated outdoor dining on private property and alcohol sales with entertainment. The project is to build a 153-room hotel and 7,250, square feet of commercial space in two buildings separated by a 10,300 square-foot pedestrian plaza with amenities for outdoor dining and events.

Analysis/Discussion
Following the Final Design approvals provided at the May 13, 2019, Planning Commission meeting, the “Entitlement” phase of the Project ended and the “Improvement” phase began. The

9.A
Packet Pg. 14
first step of the Improvement phase was initiated with issuance of the rough grading permit and the submittal by the Developer of the draft Improvement Plans and Real Property applications for review by the City Engineer, Community Development Director, Police Chief, Building Inspector, and the Rancho Adobe Fire District Fire Marshal. Additional steps undertaken since the Project approval include working to satisfy the Condition of Approval items, including the storm water requirements and preparation of the Public Improvement Agreement. Improvement Plans (“Plans”) were submitted and reviewed and the applicant is working to address all the City’s review comments to substantially finalize the Plans. There are a limited number of revisions remaining to be addressed by the applicant for the Plans to be accepted by the City Engineer. The Plans were checked for conformance with the entitled Project approved with the Final Design Review, and with City engineering standards and Fire District requirements. The Plans are nearly at a construction level of detail for both private and public improvements and, once finalized, are to be incorporated into the Public Improvement Agreement (PIA). The PIA assures the City that the improvements will be constructed and are backed by labor, performance and material bonds. Once complete, the City will typically accept the Public Improvement portion of the Project and the applicant is to carry a maintenance bond to make any needed repairs for a period of one year after City acceptance of the improvements.

Following approval of the PIA and acceptance of dedications, the development will be constructed with administrative approvals for construction permits and payment of fees.

Public Improvement Agreement
The attached draft Public Improvement Agreement (PIA), between the City and the developer has been prepared using the standard city template, and review by developer has indicated very few requested edits. Therefore, it is recommended for execution in substantially the form attached, subject to final approval by the City Attorney. A PIA is required to ensure the public improvements within the area to be dedicated as right-of-way (i.e. the widened St Josephs Way and the section of Old Redwood Highway to be widened allowing for a U turn for those going south) are constructed in accordance with City standards and requirements and to the City’s satisfaction. The improvements are to be in place before the City grants occupancy for the Hotel and Marketplace as these improvements are needed to serve the proposed use.

The PIA specifies the improvements to be completed, the total estimated cost of these improvements, provides open access for City inspectors, and provides security for completing the work. Once complete, the PIA requires a maintenance bond of the improvements for one year following City acceptance of the improvements. The PIA includes the full legal description of the property, and the portion of the property to be dedicated to the City.

The draft Parcel Map records the resulting parcel configuration:
a. Irrevocable offer of dedication of the northerly 30-foot of St Joseph Way across the property’s frontage to be dedicated to the City,
b. a 5-foot Public Utility Easement (PUE) along St Joseph Way, c. the Public Access Easement for the public parking area (Park and Ride), and

9.A
Packet Pg. 15
d. the Public Access easement for the interpretive area and public pathway on the site.

The final Parcel Map will include an owners statement specifying the purpose and use of these areas and maintenance responsibilities.

The Improvement Plans specifically include the following public improvements:

1. St Josephs Way (Public) street improvements including street pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalk, driveways, monuments, streetlights, striping and signs, and slurry seal,

2. Storm drainage including conventional storm drain features (inlets, pipelines, sidewalk drains), and Low Impact Development features (bioswales and linear retention basin),

3. Sanitary sewer improvements including the service line installation to the subject property,

4. Water improvements consisting of the service line installation to the subject property,

5. Landscaping including soil preparation, interpretive signs, plantings for common use areas and street frontages,

6. All dry utilities (gas, electric, and communications).

An itemized engineer’s cost estimate for these improvements is included as an attachment to the PIA.

Regarding storm water low impact development (LID) requirements, the calculations and design submitted as part of the entitlement phase are being finalized for resubmittal to the City. The City Engineer and City consultant will review and approve the resubmittal calculations and design before City approval of the Improvement Plans. Additionally, the Developer is to submit to the City the Declaration of Covenants Regarding Maintenance of Storm Water Best Management Practice Facilities to ensure the LID features, on private property, are maintained for their continued effectiveness in slowing, treating and sinking storm water. Although much of the LID features are on private property, the City, under its MS4 Permit with the Regional Board, is to regulate stormwater discharges into its stormwater system and protect the water quality of the receiving waters.

The City issued a request for proposals in August 2019, and determined Moe Engineering to be the most qualified to perform construction inspection services for public improvements. City staff requested and Moe Engineering provided a proposal to provide inspection services for the Project. Staff has reviewed the proposal and finds it to be fair and reasonable and recommends it for approval. All contract expenses are reimbursed through a deposit account with the developer.

Onsite inspections are to be conducted by the City’s contract building official whose fee is paid for with the standard fees collected at time of permit issuance.

9.A
Packet Pg. 16
Financial Considerations
The processing of the development application documents including the Public Improvement Agreement, easement dedications, and improvement plans are paid for by the Developer through a cost recovery account. City inspections of the construction are managed similarly with a deposit account to pay the City’s expenses, including consultants and with fees collected as a condition of permit issuance.

Environmental Issues
An Environmental Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and, on May 13, 2019, the City Planning Commission adopted Resolution 2019-3, adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation and Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Cotati Hotel and Market Hall Project and making the required findings pursuant to CEQA.

Agenda Staff Report
Item type: CONSENT CALENDAR (ACTION)
To: City Council
Subject: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH 4LEAF INCORPORATED FOR THE

SANTERO WAY SPECIFIC PLAN REZONING PROJECT
Date: August 08, 2023
Written by: Noah Housh, Director of Community Development Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution to authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement contract with 4Leaf Inc. to provide planning consulting services for the Santero Way Specific Plan re-zoning project.

Background
From time-to-time the City of Cotati Community Development Department has the need for planning consulting services to assist with workload management, special projects, and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis. Specifically, the Santero Way Specific Plan (SWSP) has been identified as outdated, inconsistent with long-term development goals of the city and lacking parcel specific residential density, which is contributing to a challenge in implementing state housing law. As such, updating the SWSP zoning to address these issues was identified as a department goal for the 2023/24 fiscal year.

Analysis/Discussion
To assist the City with the identified SWSP inadequacies and inconsistencies, staff are requesting the City Council approve a contract for contract planning services with 4Leaf Incorporated.

Details on the identified scope of work and timeframe for completion of the SWSP rezoning related items are identified in the Scope of Work, attached to this report. The proposed work will require adoption of a resolution and ordinance, and will include significant public engagement, technical advisory input, and a recommendation from the Planning Commission prior to presentation to the City Council for review and approval.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) process was undertaken to find the most cost-effective and professionally capable consultant team to undertake this project. Two responses to the RFP were received, and the proposal from 4Leaf Incorporated was identified the lowest qualified response.

9.B
Packet Pg. 60
Financial Considerations
As identified in the attached proposal and scope of work, the proposed services from 4Leaf Inc. and the identified sub-consultants are estimated at a not to exceed total of $378,000. Separately, infrastructure modeling conducted as a supplemental element of the required CEQA analysis is budgeted at $25,000 (with a consultant yet to be identified). To address these costs, staff applied for, and the City was awarded, a Priority Development Area (PDA) grant from ABAG/MTC totaling $415,000.

Though staff are not requesting new general fund appropriations, are required the approval for a budget amendment for both the grant revenues as an increase of $415,000 as well as an increased expense account and related encumbrance to meet these proposed contracts for an amount not to exceed $415,000, all to be accounted for within the Grants Fund 201.

Environmental Issues
This action to approve a contract for services is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378. Any resulting plan amendments or rezoning efforts will be analyzed for potential environmental impacts and a separate environmental determination will be made regarding that future project.

RE: Revised Proposal to Provide Professional Consulting Services to the City of Cotati for the Santero Way Specific Plan Update.

Dear Mr. Housh,
4LEAF, Inc. (4LEAF) is pleased to present our revised proposal to provide Professional Consulting Services for the City’s Santero Way Specific Plan Update project. The proposal has been updated to provide for full CEQA review of the Rezoning Project and Specific Plan Update, as discussed. The revised cost for all services is $383,414.
4LEAF is a full-service firm with over 22 years of professional experience. We expand our services organically as client needs dictate and have been aggressively advancing our Planning Division over the past five years. Planning has become our fastest growing scope and we look forward to adding the Santero Way Specific Plan Update for the City to our growing experience.  Familiar Consultant
Since 2022, 4LEAF has provided consulting services to the City for multiple planning projects, including the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element and an update to the Downtown Specific Plan. 4LEAF is familiar with the City’s departmental procedures and staff and we hope to have the opportunity to expand our services to include the Santero Way Specific Plan Update.  Flexibility in Scope and Services
We understand public service and the changing needs and priorities of local governments. That’s why we are always willing to sit down with the City and explore ways that we can achieve your budgetary objectives while still providing the services that you need.  Strong and Proven Partnerships
The 4LEAF team will partner with Rincon Consultants and Fehr & Peers to perform the necessary Environmental Analysis. 4LEAF and Rincon have successfully partnered on multiple advance planning projects across California over the last 3 years and look forward to continuing their strong collaborative relationship in Cotati.
 Planning and Specific Plan Experience

SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
We understand that the City has revised the Santero Way Specific Plan (SWSP) Update project description. 4LEAF’s previous proposal estimate has been refined and updated to reflect the new scope and to better account for the specific CEQA reviews needed. The purpose of the revised project is to conduct community and stakeholder engagement to amend the SWSP and rezone the Santero Way Neighborhood. Our revised proposal includes community engagement, preparation of specific plan amendments, and related CEQA analysis for the amendments and rezoning of this approximately 24.65-acre plan area adjacent to the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) station. Our firm and partners are well-equipped to propose on all scopes included in this project and has demonstrated our interest, qualifications, and references in the following sections.

The following revised tasks, as directed by the City, will be assigned as follows (additional staff information can be found in Section E):
4LEAF would assign most aspects of the project to its own staff, including Community Outreach and the preparation of the Specific Plan Amendments, Rezones, and SWSP boundary extension. 4LEAF partners, Rincon Consulting and Fehr & Peers will complete the CEQA and transportation analysis requirements. Following our review of the City’s revised project, our team has strategized the tasks, hours, and total cost and presented the breakdown in Section C. We estimate the total cost of services to amount to $377,994.

ABOUT THE FIRM
4LEAF was founded and built to serve the varied needs of public agencies. We realize that budgets and staffing are a challenge—this is why 4LEAF is so willing to explore cost-saving opportunities for our clients. Our flexibility is key to our ability to provide our public agency clients with services that are truly responsive to their needs. 4LEAF employs 40+ professional planners with a variety of skills and experience and can provide the depth of staffing necessary to achieve the City’s needs. 4LEAF approaches client relationships differently than what you might encounter with a large corporation. The 4LEAF philosophy is to be the best firm by providing our clients with outstanding customer care and first-rate customer service—we put our philosophy into action by building relationships and prioritizing the needs of our clients. This has led us to become the industry leader in providing Planning and Community Development services to public and private agencies. 4LEAF has successfully provided a variety of skilled staff to agencies for over 22 years.

4LEAF Inc, has reviewed the revised Project Objectives and issues identified by the City of Cotati (City) for the Santero Way Specific Plan (SWSP) Update and Rezoning Project (Project). Project objectives include increasing the allowances for residential uses in the SWSP and an expansion of the project area to address changing needs and to improve connectivity.
4LEAF’s Approach
4LEAF Inc., has recent experience working with the City of Cotati community and teaming with staff to complete the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update and the Downtown Specific Plan Amendments. These projects, and relevant plan-making experience provides our team with important community insights and have guided our approach to the Community Engagement Plan, including the Technical Advisory Committee and the Alternatives Analysis. The following Scopes of Work are proposed:
4LEAF, Inc. Scope of Work

1.0 Project Initiation & Management
This task will provide the City and 4LEAF Inc. project team an opportunity to coordinate and establish project related procedures and protocols, conduct information sharing, and communicate expectations regarding the schedule and deliverables identified herein.

1.1: Project Commencement Meeting
Upon contract approval, the 4LEAF team will hold a Project Commencement Meeting with City staff to refine the project schedule and tasks. During the meeting, the City will provide the 4LEAF team with access to project-related materials and confirm the project tasks. The proposed project schedule will be reviewed and refined as warranted.

Deliverables: Project Commencement Meeting
• A project commencement meeting held remotely via Zoom to save costs. • A summary of meeting notes to be distributed by 4LEAF at the end of the meeting. • Assumptions for Commencement Meeting. Upon kickoff, the City will provide available project area data, mapping, infrastructure, and environmental documentation needed to establish the SWSP area boundary in GIS products, inform community outreach, and conduct the plan writing and environmental review tasks.

1.2: Ongoing Project Management
4LEAF will meet regularly with City staff to ensure that the project objectives and milestones are being met.

Biweekly, virtual check-in meetings of 30 minutes are recommended and an agenda, summary, and email update with a list of action items will be sent to City staff around each meeting.

2.0: Existing Conditions and Opportunities & Affordable Housing Policy Options

2.1: Existing Conditions and Opportunities
An existing conditions and opportunities map and report will be developed. Using both computerized and on-theground methods, the consultant will evaluate the existing physical and regulatory conditions in the plan area.

Potential information to be included: existing land use, including the number of existing affordable and market rate dwelling units; physical conditions, including structures in poor or deteriorating condition; environmental conditions, including areas of known soil or groundwater contamination; urban form; pending and approved development projects; planned public and private improvement projects; circulation network; transit use; historic resources; market conditions and development potential. Based on analysis of existing conditions, opportunities in the plan area shall be identified, along with potential constraints.

2.2: Housing Policy Options
Considering the findings of the existing conditions and opportunities analysis, 4LEAF will develop a strategy to provide existing and future Plan area residents with a range of housing options affordable to households at all income levels. To limit or prevent displacement in the Plan area, the options will identify how non-subsidized affordable housing units in or near the Plan area may be impacted by the Specific Plan build-out and will describe existing and optional preservation policies to maintain neighborhood affordability while encouraging private investment and a mix of uses.

3.0: Community Engagement
The community engagement strategy includes a broad spectrum of techniques to reach property owners, residents, and business owners alike, including those who do not generally attend community meetings. Our team is adept in creative, interactive methods to engage harder-to-reach communities not often involved in public planning processes.

Following the community engagement associated with the initial project launch, the 4LEAF team will prepare a second phase of outreach based our recent experiences working on the Cotati 6th Cycle Housing Element Update and the Downtown Specific Plan Update projects. Outreach will consist of up to four public workshops, including a Planning Commission Workshop, to identify community priorities around land use options, housing and urban design preferences, transportation and infrastructure, key policy and implementation approaches, and environmental issues.

Workshops will be held at City Hall, the Cotati Room, another venue relevant to the project, or virtually via Zoom.

The workshops will be marketed to interested Cotati community members and stakeholders inclusive of property owners, current SWSP residents, businesses, the SMART district, commuters, and/or other targeted focus groups.

Workshops will be focused on the following issues:
• Project Launch (Community Workshop #1)
• Land Use & Circulation Alternatives Workshop (Community Workshop #2) • Preferred Alternatives Workshop (Community Workshop #3) • Public Review Draft Planning Commission Workshop (Community Workshop #4)

3.1: Community Workshop #1
Shortly following project commencement, the city and consultant team will hold a community workshop to introduce the Project to interested members of the public. The notice/agenda and post-workshop summary will be provided bilingually in English and Spanish.

3.2: TAC Meeting #1
The first Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting will be held after Community Workshop #1, to introduce the TAC to the project and identify timelines & expectations for the Santero Way Specific Plan Update process.

3.3: Embedded Community Engagement
4LEAF is committed to providing a local, embedded approach to community engagement to activate members of the community and meet them where they are, in addition to the provision of community workshops and convening of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). At the Project Commencement meeting (Task 1.1), the City and 4LEAF will select a range from the following engagement techniques for ongoing project outreach. (Note: The Task 3.3 does not cover all options detailed below, and priorities will be identified as prioritized and rendered feasible within the scope and budget allocated for community engagement):
• Canvassing Option: 4LEAF organizes neighborhood canvassing for direct-to-community, “door to door” engagement within the plan boundary, focusing on three strategic areas:
• Residential community, to capture input from residents and property owners. • Business community, to capture input from business owners and customers. • SMART station, to capture input from transit riders.
• Pop-Up Event Option: 4LEAF coordinates with the City to organize pop-up engagement events throughout the community. Prioritize community events (farmer’s markets, street fairs, holiday fests) and outside areas with high foot traffic and popular usage, such as shopping districts, public parks, and community libraries. This is a way to capture input on the ground from broader segments of the community. Visioning methods can include design charrettes, dotmocracy voting, facilitated conversations, surveys, and the Place It! Technique.
• Community Walk Option: 4LEAF organizes community walks in and around the SWSP project area. These events would be marketed to the public as a way to “share and learn” about the project within the project area itself. The 4LEAF team, City staff, and community members will be equal partners in this exercise. • Social Media Option: 4LEAF develops a variety of collateral for social media outreach. The social media collateral will be optimized for City and other public agency partners to use on platforms including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and City newsletters. Social media engagement is key to reaching people in digital spaces especially given ongoing COVID safety considerations. • Interactive Webpage Option: 4LEAF will develop an outreach webpage within the City’s existing website to explain the project vision and goals and solicit public input through comments and dialog. • Pop-Up Planning Office Option: 4LEAF will coordinate with the City and property owners to create a popup planning office in or near the SWSP project vicinity. A pop-up office offers a place for stakeholders to

Fehr & Peers will conduct the Traffic & Circulation Study and the VMT Analysis, as set forth in their scope.

4.1: Land Use & Circulation Alternatives Report
Following the community outreach and preparation of the Traffic & Circulation Study, 4LEAF will assist the City in the development of the Land Use & Circulation Alternatives Report. The scenarios will be developed to support bus transit and to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle access to the Cotati Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) Station. Alternatives are expected to promote development of healthy, walkable neighborhoods and enhance opportunities for residents to easily access services and facilities throughout the Plan area and beyond. Changes to development standards may be considered to meet project objectives. The alternatives will consider information prepared throughout the planning process and from the community outreach. As with every applicable project deliverable, the product will be provided in Word and PDF format.

4.2: TAC Meeting #2
The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will be convened for a second meeting to weigh in on the Draft Land Use & Circulations Report. 4LEAF will be responsible for attendance, facilitation, and all necessary meeting materials in consultation with the City and additional consultant(s). The post-meeting summary will be provided bilingually in English and Spanish for members of the public within one week of the meeting.

4.3: Community Workshop #2
Following TAC Meeting #2, the City and consultant team will hold a community workshop to present the Land Use & Circulations Alternative Report to interested members of the public. The notice/agenda and post-workshop summary will be provided bilingually in English and Spanish.

4LEAF will prepare an administrative draft Specific Plan for review by City staff. Comments received shall be incorporated into the public review draft Specific Plan.

6.2: Public Review Draft Specific Plan Update
Following the staff approval of the Administrative Draft, a Public Review Draft will be circulated for community input.

6.3: Community Workshop #4: Planning Commission Review of Public Review Draft The draft Specific Plan Update shall be presented to the Planning Commission at a final public workshop to present the final draft and accept any remaining comments and requested changes.

7.0: General Plan and Zoning Amendments
4LEAF and City staff will evaluate properties within the project boundaries to determine which sites, if any, need General Plan land use amendments (the scope anticipates the inclusion and rezoning of one additional 1.77-acre parcel - 1038 E. Cotati Ave; APN 144-320-012). 4LEAF will work with City staff to incorporate any necessary text or policy amendments within the General Plan, including revisions to population and job projections, to ensure consistency between planning documents.

City staff will evaluate the Cotati Zoning Code to determine if amendments will be necessary for consistency with the Specific Plan update. If amendments are necessary, City staff, in consultation with 4LEAF, will draft the proposed amendments. These amendments could include changes to development standards.

8.0 Presentation and Adoption of Draft Specific Plan and Environmental Analysis 4LEAF will work with City staff to prepare the Planning Commission and City Council packet materials, including the staff report, PowerPoint presentation, resolutions, and ordinances, and present the draft Specific Plan update, and any necessary environmental analysis, at public hearings before the Commission and Council (the budget accounts for up to three hearings, with at least one hearing at the Planning Commission and City Council, respectively). The consultant shall make any final revisions to the Specific Plan and environmental analysis based on changes adopted by the City Council. The consultant shall coordinate printing of the adopted Specific Plan (20 copies).

Fehr & Peers will provide transportation engineering and planning services related to the update of the Santero Way Specific Plan in the City of Cotati, California. The Santero Way corridor is located near the Cotati SMART passenger rail station; as such, the Specific Plan transportation system will consider the needs of residents, employees and visitors to the Specific Plan area, as well as travelers passing through the Specific Plan area along East Cotati Avenue and for the SMART station.

Our work will consider two phases: identification of infrastructure needed to support the land use program (as well as efficient circulation along East Cotati Avenue), and environmental analysis and documentation to support CEQA.

Phase 1 – Specific Plan Transportation Planning
Fehr & Peers will evaluate up to three land use program alternatives for the updated Specific Plan and recommend infrastructure improvements to support the land uses.

Task 1.1 – Data Collection
Fehr & Peers will collect traffic counts at up to five (5) study intersections to be confirmed by City of Cotati staff. The counts will be collected for the midday AM and PM peak periods (7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, respectively), and include counts of vehicles, heavy vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Additionally, 72-hour hose counts of Santero Way and East Cotati Avenue will be conducted to assess ADT and heavy vehicle information for the corridors.

Task 1.2 – Review of Multimodal Transportation System and Proposed Improvements Fehr & Peers will develop recommendations for multimodal transportation system improvements in the Specific Plan area, including recommendations for the pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit systems.

Intersection improvements will be identified based on General Plan goals and policies related to the operations of the circulation system; these improvements will be identified by using the Synchro software analysis package and forecasts developed from the SCTA travel demand model. The multimodal improvement recommendations will be developed considering the buildout year of the Specific Plan and the buildout year of the City’s General Plan. VMT reductions associated with goals and policies related to transportation demand management will be quantified using the TDM+ tool.

Task 1.3 – Parking Analysis and Recommendations
Fehr & Peers will estimate the additional parking demand generated by the land use program (versus exiting development) using data from the Parking Generation Manual and the Shared Parking Manual.

The demand generation estimate will be compared against the allowable additional parking under the MTC Transit Oriented Communities policy. If projected demand exceeds supply, we will provide recommendations to reduce parking demand.

Phase 2 – Environmental Analysis
The following environmental analysis will be performed for the preferred Specific Plan alternative only.

Fehr & Peers will prepare base year (2019) and Cumulative year (2040) No Project and Plus Project estimates of CEQA VMT efficiency metrics. The estimates will be prepared using model runs from the newest version of the Sonoma County Transportation Authority (SCTA) travel demand model. It is highly encouraged that new model runs be prepared for the VMT analysis as the proposed project is large enough (in aggregate) to result in a large effect on VMT, and thus, per the Technical Advisory, new model runs are highly encouraged. The Plus Project model runs will include modifications to the land use and transportation system to reflect the project description for the preferred alternative.

The relevant VMT per capita and/or total VMT metrics results for the project will be compared to CEQA thresholds of significance developed using guidance from the City. If significant CEQA impacts are found, Fehr & Peers will propose a VMT mitigation measure consisting of transportation demand management (TDM) strategies for the program that could be applied at the project level as applicable. The efficacy of these strategies will be based, in part, on Fehr & Peers’ recently published research conducted in conjunction with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) which supplements the TDM effectiveness data published by CAPCOA. Fehr & Peers will also provide outputs of VMT by speed bin for the Sonoma County area to support the CEQA Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas analyses (to be completed by others).

Task 2.2 – Other Required CEQA Multimodal Analyses
The proposed Specific Plan will be reviewed to evaluate consistency with other approved transportation plans for the study area. Specifically, we will qualitatively review the consistency of the Specific Plan with respect to:
• Current and planned pedestrian and bicycle facilities in adopted pedestrian and bicycle plans • Current and planned transit service, and the ability of the transit system to accommodate projected transit ridership
• Specific Plan area emergency vehicle access and circulation • Programmatic multimodal transportation design features Task 2.3 – Documentation
Fehr & Peers will prepare a transportation impact analysis (TIA) report that will document the data, analysis, calculations and results of the work in Tasks 2.1 and 2.2. Traffic operations data for the preferred alternative (generated in Task 1.2) will also be summarized.

Fehr & Peers will prepare the following reports:
• Draft TIA
• Final TIA
This scope of work assumes moderate editorial and technical comments on the Draft TIA, and we have assumed up to 16 hours of staff time to respond to comments on the Draft TIA and to prepare a Final TIA.

This scope task also assumes up to 16 hours of staff time to assist the project team in responses to public comments on the Draft EIR for the project.

Task 2.4 – Meetings/Conference Calls
Fehr & Peers will participate in up to four team conference calls as part of this project. Fehr & Peers will also attend up to two four-hour evening meetings as part of the project entitlement process.

Task 9 Environmental Assessment – Program EIR
While a Program EIR was certified for the existing Santero Way Specific Plan in 2001, we recommend the preparation of a new Program EIR for the Updated Specific Plan, due to the changed circumstances in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G checklist, and changes in the existing setting associated with the Plan Area and City of Cotati in general. The City updated its General Plan in 2015, and we propose to leverage the analysis provided in the associated certified EIR to ensure consistency with the analysis methodology used by the City. Preparation of a programmatic EIR for the Specific Plan, including:

Task 9.0: Project Management
Rincon will provide project management services under this scope of work. Management efforts will consist of regular communications with City personnel on an as-needed basis via email and phone to provide updates on the progress of the reports and discuss any issues that arise over the course of the project. As part of this task, Rincon will provide project management and coordination with City staff to meet project requirements in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Rincon will provide regular updates to City staff regarding project needs, changes, schedule, budget, and deliverables. This task includes activities required to manage the various tasks that follow such as regular e-mail and telephone communications and other tasks associated with client coordination. This task includes internal coordination with the project team and ongoing project management responsibilities throughout the duration of the of the project, such as cost and schedule tracking, progress reporting, invoicing, and clerical work.

Task 9.1: Kickoff Meeting
Rincon will facilitate a virtual CEQA kickoff meeting with City staff. This meeting will serve as a forum to review and confirm study objectives and establish an operational protocol. The goals of the meeting will be to finalize the CEQA scope and discuss the overall schedule.

The kickoff meeting will also allow the City/consultant team an opportunity to discuss the approach to the environmental evaluation and potential EIR alternatives. Community concerns relevant to the CEQA analysis that have surfaced to date will be discussed. We will also have an opportunity to confirm the cumulative impact analysis approach. Rincon’s principal in charge and project manager will attend the meeting virtually, which is anticipated to last up to one hour.

Task 9.2: Notice of Preparation
Rincon will prepare a draft Notice of Preparation (NOP) for City staff to review. The NOP will include all required details including project description, location, dates of public review and dates/location of the public scoping meeting. Rincon will submit a draft NOP in Microsoft Word format for City review. Upon receipt of one round of consolidated comments on the draft NOP, Rincon will prepare a final PDF copy of the NOP for City staff to post on its website and for distribution to public agencies. It is assumed that the City will be responsible for any the NOP distribution list and associated direct mailing of printed

Rincon will assist with filing the NOP with the State Clearinghouse/Office of Planning and Research and Sonoma County Clerk. It is assumed that the City will complete the County Clerk filing.

The NOP and relevant correspondence received in response to the NOP will be attached as an Appendix to the Draft EIR. The scope of the EIR will be adjusted, if necessary, based on the comments received.

Because we anticipate that the EIR will address all issues on the environmental checklist, we do not propose to prepare an initial study.

Task 9.3: Project Description
Rincon will prepare the EIR project description. Organization of this information is critical since it forms the basis for environmental evaluation under CEQA. The project description will focus on the overall boundary of the Plan Area. This section will include a description of the project, focusing on characteristics relevant to the analysis (i.e., buildout projections provided by the City, proposed land use changes), project objectives, and required permits and discretionary approvals. The project description will include textual, tabular, and up to six graphics as needed to describe the project and form a basis for the environmental analysis. The project description will be submitted to the City in Microsoft Word format, and we will address one round of consolidated comments from the City. The scope of work, estimated schedule, and cost estimate in this proposal, assume that the buildout projections and land use pattern will not change following City acceptance of the project description.

Task 9.4: Scoping Meeting
Rincon will facilitate one public and agency scoping meeting associated with the release of the NOP. The Scoping Meeting will be held during the 30-day NOP review period to introduce the community and responsible agencies to the EIR process and obtain input on the EIR scope of work. Applicable agencies and interested parties would be invited to attend the scoping meeting. The meeting will include a brief presentation, followed by public comment and input from meeting attendees. Rincon will prepare a summary of relevant input gathered, which will be included in the Draft EIR along with relevant written public comments received during NOP comment period. Rincon assumes the Scoping Meeting will be held at a Planning Commission meeting, which the City will organize. For the purposes of this scope, we have assumed the scoping meeting will be held in person. Notice of the scoping meeting would be provided in the NOP.

Task 9.5: AB 52 and SB 18 Consultation Assistance
Under Assembly Bill (AB) 52 (California Government Code Section 21080.3.1[a]) and Senate Bill (SB) 18 (California Government Code Section 65352.3 and 65352.4), the City, as the CEQA lead agency, is required to begin consultation with California Native American Tribes that are traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project site, prior to the release of a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or environmental impact report. Rincon will request an AB 52 and SB 18 consultation list from the NAHC and will assist the City with consultation under AB 52 and SB 18 by providing the City with letter templates, checklists, and detailed instructions to help ensure meaningful consultation with interested Native American groups. Typically, NAHC list requests are fulfilled within four (4) weeks. After receipt of letters, Native American Tribes have 30 days to reply to a request for consultation under AB

This task does not include meetings, outreach, consultation or mailing letters to Tribal governments, although consultation support may be added for an additional cost if needed. Rincon assumes that the City will officially contact all applicable Tribes. Additionally, Rincon will include the consultation efforts in an assessment of impacts to Tribal Cultural Resources for the CEQA document.

Task 9.6: Administrative Draft EIR
Rincon will prepare an Administrative Draft EIR (ADEIR) in compliance with CEQA requirements and based on the project description approved by City staff (see Task 9.3). Consistent with CEQA requirements, the EIR will be prepared with a sufficient degree of analysis to provide decision-makers with information which enables them to make a decision which intelligently takes account of environmental consequences. An evaluation of the environmental effects of the project need not be exhaustive, but the sufficiency of an EIR is to be reviewed in light of what is reasonably feasible. The document will be a program EIR that considers the broad policy implications of the proposed project. To that end, it will focus on the macro-level impacts associated with total buildout. Where possible, Rincon will incorporate information from existing environmental and planning documents that apply to the project area.

The ADEIR will comprise the following sections:
 Executive Summary. This section will include a discussion of project objectives; a brief description of the project; a summary of the environmental setting for the project area; a summary of impacts; a summary of mitigation measures; a discussion of alternatives considered, and identification of the environmentally superior alternative among those studied; and areas of controversy, and issues remaining to be resolved.
 Introduction and Environmental Setting. The introduction will describe the purpose and legal authority of the EIR, the scope and content of the EIR, a discussion of lead, responsible, and trustee agencies, and a synopsis of the CEQA process. The environmental setting will provide a general description of the existing geographic character of the project area. The environmental setting will also contain a discussion of the approach to the cumulative impact analysis.  Project Description. The Project Description section will consist of the project description prepared in Task 9.3.
 Analysis, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures. Each environmental discussion will include the following: setting, impact analysis, mitigation measures, and level of significance after mitigation. The discussion for each issue area will begin with the setting, which will describe existing conditions relevant to the topic and provide the groundwork for impact analysis. Sources will include documents and studies prepared in support of the project, other relevant environmental documents prepared during the last five years, and data provided by the City. The impact analysis will include a discussion of the methodology used to quantify or determine impacts and the criteria for judging significance.

Where practicable, impacts will be quantified. If existing data does not allow definitive quantification, reasonable assumptions will be used to qualitatively forecast potential impacts. If the impact warrants mitigation measures, they are indexed to and immediately follow the numbered impact in question.

A range of alternatives will be considered in the ADEIR. CEQA Guidelines require consideration of the “No Project” Alternative. For purposes of this EIR, the No Project Alternative would be a continuation of the existing City land use designations of the project area. In addition to the No Project Alternative, Rincon will consider up to two (2) other alternatives (such as alternative land use scenarios), including at least one alternative crafted in coordination with City staff to reduce identified significant and unavoidable impacts. It is assumed that buildout assumptions for each alternative will either be provided or approved by the City. Evaluation of alternatives will be in less detail than for the proposed project, though the analysis will provide decision-makers and the public adequate information to decide between alternatives. This section will also identify the “environmentally superior alternative.” If the No Project Alternative is determined to be environmentally superior, the ADEIR will identify the environmentally superior alternative among the remaining scenarios.
 Cumulative Impacts. Consistent with Section 15130 of the CEQA Guidelines, cumulative impacts will be disclosed. These impacts would result from the program’s impacts associated with full buildout of project area under the proposed project, combined with impacts of other projects and programs in the area, including surrounding jurisdictions’ land use plans. Cumulative projections in the area will be derived in consultation with the City.
 Other CEQA Sections. This portion of the EIR will discuss the growth-inducing effects of the project as well as significant irreversible changes associated with the proposed project. Drawing on the information provided in the environmental setting and preceding issue discussion, the growthinducing impacts will address the potential for the project to directly induce economic growth and remove obstacles to growth in the area. The significant irreversible changes discussion will summarize the significant effects of the project, particularly the unavoidably significant effects.  References. This portion of the EIR will provide full citations for all in-text citations provided within the EIR. This section will identify all supporting documents that were used during preparation of the EIR which are not included as appendices to the EIR itself. *The ADEIR will be submitted to the City in Microsoft Word format, for ease of review.

Proposed Approach to Key Technical Issues
The technical approach to analyzing each potential environmental issue is described herein. Approaches to the impact analysis for the Program EIR will be discussed with City staff and will be consistent with the assumptions and methodologies used in recent CEQA documents in the City of Cotati to the extent possible. In general, the impact analysis will focus on the issues present in the project area and likely to be affected or impacted by the project. It is anticipated that the components of the project that would most likely result in environmental impacts include the proposed land use changes that would result in increased buildout, increased development intensity, increased building height/scale, or physical ground disturbance. All issue areas contained on the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G Checklist will be addressed in the EIR. Specific analysis details for technical issue areas only are described below.

The air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analyses in the EIR will consider temporary construction and long-term operational emissions from buildout of the project area. The analysis will summarize the existing air quality conditions in the air basin using data from nearby air monitoring stations available from the California Air Resources Board and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). The state of the climate and relevant federal, state, and local climate change regulations will be described, with GHGs identified as an area of primary concern. This section will summarize federal, state, and local standards and regulatory review requirements pertinent to air quality and GHG emissions and evaluate the significance of air quality and GHG impacts per the BAAQMD’s 2022 CEQA Guidelines methodology for programmatic (plan-level) analyses. Operational and construction emissions will be addressed qualitatively and no air quality or GHG modeling is proposed. This section will also evaluate potential odor impacts through buildout of the project area, which is typically associated with wastewater treatment, manufacturing, and industrial-type land uses; evaluate localized air quality impacts from toxic air contaminant (TAC) to sensitive receptors (no detailed air dispersion modeling is proposed as part of this scope); evaluate the project’s compliance with applicable Air Quality Management Plans; evaluate the project’s compliance with applicable State and local GHG reduction plans, policies, and regulations; and develop mitigation measures for identified potentially significant air quality and GHG impacts.

Biological Resources. The project area supports a mixture of commercial, residential and open space uses; however, sensitive biological resources are expected to be limited by the surrounding development and disturbance. Nonetheless, the project area may support special-status species such as burrowing owl, raptors and nesting birds, and rare plants. Jurisdictional wetlands and waters are not expected. As part of the biological resources analysis, Rincon will collect regional background information on biological resources that could be affected by the project. The collected information will include database queries (e.g., California Natural Diversity Database [CNDDB], California Native Plant Society, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Wetland Inventory), reviews of regional planning documents, and information provided by City staff. The scope of work includes a reconnaissance site visit.

The biological setting subsection will describe the regulatory framework, vegetation communities per the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships classifications, waters and wetlands (if present), and specialstatus species occurrences and habitats. Rincon will compile results from database queries in an appendix to the EIR and summarize the results and findings within the EIR section. The impact analysis will include a description of methodology and significance thresholds, a summary of land use changes that may result in impacts to biological resources, and avoidance and mitigation measures, as appropriate.

Cultural Resources. The cultural resources analysis will review the potential for historical resources and archaeological resources to occur within the project area and the potential impacts to those resources as a result of the project. As part of a cultural resources investigation, Rincon will conduct a California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) records search of the proposed project site as well as a

Attachment: RFP - Professional Consulting Services for the City of Cotati Santero Way Specific Plan Update-July 17, 2023 (4Leaf Santero Proposal to Provide Professional Consulting Services for the City of Cotati’s Santero Way Specific Plan Update Page 16 Section 2.B: Rincon Project Understanding & Scope of Work July 17, 2023

0.5-mile radius around the project site. Archival research will be limited to a review of historical aerial images and maps to characterize the historical development of the plan area and the existing conditions. Upon completion of the records search, Rincon will conduct a cultural resources survey of the project site to document. Rincon assumes up to three built-environment cultural resources will be identified that require recordation or evaluation; Rincon assumes no archaeological resources will be identified or testing will be completed, and the survey will be completed in a single eight-hour day.

Upon completion of the CHRIS records search and cultural resources survey, Rincon will prepare a technical report discussing the results. If significant impacts are identified, programmatic mitigation measures will be provided.

Paleontological Resources. Rincon will present a paleontological resources assessment memorandum that will summarize potential impacts to geologic units with paleontological sensitivity and any necessary mitigation measures. The assessment will discuss the results of the literature review and record search, provide a discussion of the regional geology and the geologic unit(s) present within the project site, characterize the paleontological sensitivity of the geologic unit(s) present within the project site using the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology paleontological sensitivity classification system, assess the potential for significant impacts to scientifically important paleontological resources under state and federal guidelines, and provide management recommendations for avoiding or reducing impacts to paleontological resources from project development as necessary. We assume that direct expenses associated with the fossil locality search will not exceed $500, and no paleontological fieldwork will be necessary to complete the assessment.

Noise. The noise section of the EIR will be conducted in accordance with City of Cotati guidelines, standards, and ordinances. The existing setting will describe existing ambient and traffic noise levels, and a discussion of existing airport noise levels based on available data. No ambient noise measurements are proposed. The noise analysis will examine both temporary construction noise and long-term operational noise. Noise model calculations will be included as an appendix to the EIR, and the technical analysis will be summarized in the EIR section. Construction noise and vibration impacts associated with buildout of the plan area will be addressed qualitatively in terms of accepted data and standards from the U.S. Federal Transit Administration and Federal Highway Administration. Traffic noise will be estimated based on traffic volume data used in the traffic analysis. Noise impacts from nontransportation sources will be evaluated on a programmatic level, qualitatively based on local noise standards. Rincon will analyze noise impacts from non-transportation sources such as major commercial and industrial uses in terms of potential impacts to nearby noise-sensitive receptors and the noise limitations identified within the City’s Municipal Code. Feasible mitigation measures will be identified to minimize noise and vibration impacts associated with buildout of the Plan.

Task 9.7: Screencheck Draft EIR
Rincon will address one round of City comments on the ADEIR and prepare a Screencheck Draft EIR. We assume that all comments from the City will be provided as a consolidated set of comments in editable electronic format (i.e., as tracked changes in Microsoft Word). If there are multiple reviewers, the City

To maintain momentum in the project schedule and provide cost efficiency, we assume City comments will focus on any new content in the previous version of the ADEIR, and new comments on previously submitted content will be minimal. The Screencheck Draft EIR will be submitted to the City in Microsoft Word with track changes retained.

Task 9.8: Public Draft EIR
Once the City approves the Screencheck Draft EIR, Rincon will prepare the Draft EIR for public circulation. Rincon will prepare required noticing forms, including the Notice of Completion (NOC), Notice of Availability (NOA), and OPR’s Summary Form for Electronic Document Submittal, for City review. Rincon will address one round of comments on the forms. Rincon will assist the City with submitting documents through the digital CEQA Submit platform and filing the NOA with the Sonoma County Clerk’s office. It is assumed that the City will complete the County Clerk filing and be responsible for newspaper ads and/or other public noticing of the document’s availability required by CEQA, such as radius label mailing or on-site posting. As required by State law, the Public Draft EIR will require at least a 45-day public review period. Rincon will not provide printed copies of the Public Draft EIR. Rincon will provide a digital version in Adobe PDF for posting to the City’s website. Accessibility remediation of the Draft EIR is not included.

Task 9.9: Response to Comments and Administrative Final EIR Upon receipt of public comments on the Draft EIR, Rincon will prepare draft response to comments and an Administrative Final EIR for review by the City. This scope of work assumes up to 10 comment letters containing comments on the content of the CEQA document will be received. This includes three lengthy (over five pages) and/or substantive letters, that can be adequately responded to in a maximum of 60 professional staff hours. Comment letters that solely express support or opposition to the project would not count against the 10-letter estimate. The actual level of effort required to respond will depend on the length, detail, and sophistication of the comments, in addition to the number of letters received. We reserve the right to reevaluate the effort level and request a scope amendment upon close of the public comment period. If the number of comment letters and the effort to prepare responses is greater than anticipated, Rincon will notify City staff immediately and discuss options to amend our scope of work and budget as necessary.

Rincon will address one round of consolidated City comments, to be provided in editable format, on the draft Responses to Comments and prepare a Screencheck Responses to Comments, in Microsoft Word with edits shown in track changes. Upon City review and approval of the Screencheck, Rincon will submit the Final EIR.

Task 9.10: Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
Concurrent with Task 9.9, Rincon will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP), which will be bound separately from the Final EIR. The MMRP will be provided in a format designed for use by planners, environmental monitors, or code enforcement officers. Essentially, this plan will take the form of a detailed table that describes:

 Frequency of monitoring
 Criteria to be used to determine compliance with conditions Task 9.11: Final EIR
After receipt of City comments on the Administrative Final EIR (Task 9.9) and MMRP (Task 9.10), Rincon will prepare a Screencheck Final EIR for City staff review and confirmation followed by a Final Program EIR after incorporating comments from City staff. Rincon will prepare a draft Notice of Determination (NOD) for City approval. Rincon staff will assist City staff with filing the NOD with County Clerk and State Clearinghouse within five working days of project approval. It is assumed that the City will pay all applicable fees associated with filing the NOD at the County Clerk. It is assumed that the City will complete the County Clerk filing. Rincon will not provide printed copies of the Final EIR, and will not conduct accessibility remediation of the Final EIR.

Task 9.12: CEQA Findings, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and Resolution Rincon will prepare the CEQA Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations (if a significant and unavoidable impact is identified) for the project based on the impact conclusions of the EIR, based on a template provided by the City. The Draft CEQA Findings will be submitted alongside the Final EIR, and will contain a discussion of alternatives, including the rationale for rejecting any of the analyzed alternatives, using in part the project objectives. This scope of work assumes if alternatives are determined to be infeasible due to financial considerations, or that the Statement of Overriding Considerations relies on specific economic or financial factors, corresponding financial data to support these conclusions will be provided by the City. This task will comply with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15091 and 15093 and will be submitted in a City-approved electronic format. Rincon will prepare an administrative draft version of the CEQA Findings for City review, will address one round of consolidated City comments, and submit a final document version digitally.

Rincon will also prepare the draft CEQA Resolution for City review and comment. The CEQA Resolution will be prepared in accordance with the City’s required format. The CEQA Resolution will incorporate the CEQA Findings and, if applicable, the Statement of Overriding Considerations as attachments. Rincon will address one round of consolidated City comments and submit a final document version digitally.

Task 9.13: Administrative Record
Rincon will maintain the Administrative Record for this project. Maintenance of an accurate and comprehensive administrative record is important for the defensibility of the EIR, should it be challenged. Rincon will develop a work plan at the outset that instructs internal staff on the way in which the Administrative Record will be developed and maintained. As sources are referenced in each section of the report, they are logged in an index containing a hyper-linked cross-reference to the individual source files, copies of which are maintained on company servers. These include, for example,

City of Santa Clarita
Housing and Safety Element Updates
4LEAF was chosen to perform the Housing and Safety Updates for the City of Santa Clarita, located in Southern California. The City is taking a proactive approach to smart, balanced growth of residential, commercial, and business park land uses. The City encompasses over 70 square miles and has a population of approximately 225,000 residents. The current number of housing units within the City is approximately 77,815. For this project, 4LEAF has 4 planners assigned to work on the City’s Housing Update for the 2021-2029 planning cycle with completed certification by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) pending. The Safety Element update was completed and adopted in early 2022.

The City chose 4LEAF because our team of professional Planners have an established working relationship with HCD and a familiarity with State housing law. Our team has demonstrated the ability to be proactive in maintaining communication, meeting deadlines, and addressing SB 379 (requiring all cities to include climate adaptation and resiliency strategies in the General Plan’s Safety Element in conjunctions with the next Housing Element Update). 4LEAF teamed with Rincon Consultants, Inc. to provide CEQA services. Together, our teams have worked with City staff to ensure consistency between Elements and meet legal requirements.

Our services for this project include:
 Public workshops and community outreach efforts
 Hard-reach-community outreach and Spanish
translation of all public documents
 Data collection
 Drafting the Housing Element
 Housing Sites Inventory

6th Cycle Housing Element Update
4LEAF was chosen to perform the Housing Update for the City of Cloverdale, located in Northern California. The updated Housing Element will need to address the requirements of State law, including recent changes regarding the analysis of sites and zoning-related requirements for housing entitlements. We currently have three 4LEAF Planners assigned to work on this endeavor including one (1) Principal Planner and two (2) Associate Planners.

The City selected 4LEAF due to its demonstrated ability to adapt a successful suite of 5th Cycle programs to meet new statutory requirements. Cloverdale has taken substantial steps to address housing needs for its most vulnerable residents and working families, with progress on programs prioritizing affordable and workforce housing development in the 5th Cycle including the development of City-owned permanent and transitional housing for people experiencing homelessness.
4LEAF facilitated a 57-unit expansion from the original RHNA in an agreement with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) due to an annexation-related transfer from unincorporated Sonoma County. Despite the increase, the Housing Element reflected capacity for 179% of the City’s final RHNA through pipeline projects and opportunity sites.

Our services for this project include:
 Project management
 Community outreach and engagement
 Housing Element preparation
 RHNA transfer associated with annexations
 CEQA compliance
 Native American Tribal Consultation

4LEAF was chosen to perform the Housing Update for the City of Rohnert Park, located in Northern California. The City has a RHNA of approximately 1,580 units compared to 899 units in RHNA Cycle 5, representing a 76% increase from the last Planning cycle. To ensure an adequate inventory of viable sites, the 6th cycle Housing Element Update necessitates rezoning in targeted areas.

The City chose 4LEAF because our team of professional planners have an established working relationship with HCD and a thorough understanding of State housing law. Our team has demonstrated the ability to be proactive in maintaining communication, meeting deadlines, and addressing all of the new statutory requirements for 6th Cycle Housing Elements.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Sonoma Mountain Village Mixed-Use Transportation Analysis Update (Rohnert Park, CA)
Ian managed this project in which Fehr & Peers provided follow-up transportation engineering and planning services for the Sonoma Mountain Village project in Rohnert Park, California. As a result of revisions to the project site plan, the project applicant retained Fehr & Peers to update the trip generation calculation to determine the updated site plan’s consistency with the EIR for the project. Ian led the team in using the MainStreet/MXD+ mixed-use trip generation methodology to estimate the peak hour trips for the project. This methodology uses data from the SCTA and MTC travel demand models to inform the calculation process.

Rohnert Park General Plan Update & EIR (Rohnert Park, CA) Ian is the project manager for Fehr & Peers’ efforts in the update of the Rohnert Park General Plan. In addition to updating the goals and policies in the General Plan and developing a plan for a robust multimodal system, Fehr & Peers will be producing traffic volume and VMT forecasts for Year 2040 conditions using the new Sonoma County Transportation Authority travel demand model. The volume forecasts will be used to help right-size the transportation system, as well as provide VMT estimates which will be used as the basis for the CEQA analysis of the preferred General Plan alternative. Big Data will be used to supplement the analysis and ensure that base year modeled origin-destination patterns are reasonable. Big Data was also used to

Packet Pg. 109 Attachment: RFP - Professional Consulting Services for the City of Cotati Santero Way Specific Plan Update-July 17, 2023 (4Leaf Santero verify the minor modifications needed to calibrate and validate the model to local conditions; Fehr & Peers effectively worked with City staff, their consultants and SCTA staff to identify the best course of action with respect to model updates. Data from the SCTA travel demand model was also supplemented by data from the EPA-approved MXD+ mixed-use trip generation
methodology, as applied in the MainStreet tool (which links MXD+ to data from the SCTA model). This approach provided additional precision in the analysis by supplementing the trip generation component in the SCTA model with a methodology that reduces the potential for over-estimation of trip generation associated with the mix of land uses considered in the General Plan update.

Sonoma County Travel Behavior Study and Travel
Demand Model Update (Sonoma County, CA)
Fehr & Peers obtained mobile device data from StreetLight Data to provide an updated understanding of Sonoma County travel patterns and to support the update of the Sonoma County Travel Model. The model includes a traditional vehicle assignment component and a bicycle/pedestrian component. The model was updated to a base year of 2015 and a future year of 2040. A focus of the model development effort was to enhance the representation of visitor/tourism travel and winery/agricultural uses. The model development process will also include a weekend model and a methodology and post-processor for SB 743 reporting purposes. Data obtained through the Travel Behavior Study will be used to inform the public and decision makers about Sonoma County travel patterns, ensuring the model is able to reasonably forecast existing travel patterns to increase the confidence in forecasts that will be used for various short- and long-term planning studies. Ian served as the local transportation expert for this project.

Petaluma Infill Mixed-Use CEQA Transportation
Analyses and City VMT Implementation Project
(Petaluma, CA)
Ian is currently serving as Associate-in-Charge for the CEQA transportation impact analyses of two mixed-use projects in the Downtown Petaluma SMART station area. These projects
represent two of the first projects in Petaluma where VMT will be used as the CEQA Transportation analysis metric. Coordinating with City staff, Fehr & Peers has completed the CEQA VMT analysis, and informational LOS analysis (including the use of the SimTraffic analysis software to more precisely measure project effects at the East Washington Street and East D Street SMART at-grade crossings), and a review of multimodal transportation in and around the project sites (including at the Copeland Street Transit Mall). VMT mitigation measures were proposed to alleviate CEQA VMT impacts (where identified), and these mitigation measures were quantified using data from the CAPCOA research and Fehr & Peers’ research in partnership with the California Air Resources Board. This work leverages Fehr & Peers’ efforts with the City of Petaluma to implement VMT for CEQA as mandated by SB 743 – Ian serves as Fehr & Peers’ project manager for the City of Petaluma VMT implementation project.

Sonoma County Housing Rezone EIR (Sonoma County,
CA)
Ian served as Project Manager and Associate-in-Charge for the CEQA transportation impact analysis prepared for the Sonoma County Housing Rezone project. The project involved the programmatic environmental clearance of dozens of housing catalyst sites throughout Sonoma County. The CEQA
Transportation section impact analysis was completed on the basis of the project’s effect on VMT, as measured by the SCTA travel demand model. Significant impacts were identified using thresholds from the OPR Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA, and a transportation demand management (TDM) program was developed as part of
mitigation strategies to address VMT impacts. In addition to the VMT analysis, Fehr & Peers performed an informational traffic operations analysis using the Level of Service
metric to identify new deficiencies related to General Plan goals and policies that address circulation system operations.

Improvement measures such as new traffic signals, roundabouts and intersection stop sign control were identified to remedy potential new deficiencies.

Sonoma Hotel VMT Analysis and Mitigation Measures
(Sonoma, CA)
Ian served as Fehr & Peers’ Associate-in-Charge in the
development of a VMT analysis for a new hotel development in central Sonoma, California. The project VMT analysis entailed a combination VMT assessment calculation approach, including the use of data from the SCTA travel demand model and Big Data analytics to calculate the project’s effect on VMT. Key to the success of the project was ensuring that the
VMT analysis captured the full length of project trips, including the lengths of trips beyond the Sonoma County boundary. This approach effectively allowed Fehr & Peers’ work to preempt CEQA public comments on the Draft EIR for the project. A menu of mitigation measures was developed to mitigate significant VMT impacts; special attention was paid to the relevance of the mitigation measures relative to the project description and local land use context to ensure that the mitigation measures chosen were relevant and the quantitative mitigation effectiveness calculations were defensible.

Subject: Approval of September 9, 2023 The Yard Market Events in La Plaza Park.

Date: August 08, 2023
Written by: Ashley Wilson, Recreation Manager
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Cotati adopt a resolution approving the September 9, 2023 The Yard Market events in La Plaza Park.

Background
The Yard Markets is a small business makers market. They have had and have several upcoming events scheduled at Walnut Park in Petaluma. Their events typically feature 40-50 vendors selling local goods and gift items, food, and other commodities. Their event focus is to bring people together in a safe space to support Sonoma County small businesses.

They were approved to host three dates this summer in May, June, and July but due to scheduling conflicts, cancelled the June and July dates and are requesting to add a date on September 9, 2023.

Analysis/Discussion
The Yard Markets has requested the following: 1) exclusive use of La Plaza Park; 2) food truck and vendor sales of food and beverages; 3) live, amplified entertainment; 4) street closures of La Plaza between West Sierra Ave and Old Redwood Highway.

The event is a small business makers market event proposed to take place in La Plaza Park, where they will have a DJ with amplified music, food, and merchandise vendors. Vendors will be set up in La Plaza Park and on La Plaza St. between Old Redwood Hwy. and West Sierra Avenue, adjacent to the park. The event is expected to bring visitation to the City and its businesses.

This event is family friendly and free for the public to attend. The event will feature music and vendors between 11:00am-4:00pm. The Yard Markets is requesting exclusive use of the park, closed street/parking lot, and bandstand from 8:00am-5:00pm to allow for setup, breakdown, and cleanup. The event at La Plaza Park will be free of charge to attend. The event will include vendors and food trucks selling food, beverages, and merchandise.

9.C
Packet Pg. 122
The Yard Markets has reviewed the City’s insurance requirements and has indicated that they will provide adequate insurance. A Condition of Approval has been included which requires proof of insurance be supplied to the City before the event.

Financial Considerations
The event organizer is not a non-profit and did not request any fee reductions or waivers. In accordance with the Park Use and Special Event Policy, fees and refundable deposits are anticipated to be approximately $1,100 and $500 respectively and are detailed as follows:
$50 – Special Event Application Fee
$702 – Small Street Closure Fee
$350 – Large Event Resident Permit Fee
TOTAL FEE: $1,102 per event date
Special Event Refundable Security Deposit - $500
TOTAL DEPOSIT: $500 per event date
The fees received are expected to cover the staff time requirements to facilitate any street closures and noticing. Fees collected are subject to change.

Environmental Issues
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

Subject: Consideration of a Resolution approving a cannabis consumption lounge in conjunction with the commercial cannabis microbusiness permit issued to Mercy Wellness of Cotati at 7950 Redwood Drive (PA# 23-04).

Date: August 08, 2023
Written by: Jon-Paul Harries, Senior Planner
Recommendation
It is recommended by the Community Development Department that the City Council approve a Resolution approving a cannabis consumption lounge in conjunction with the commercial cannabis microbusiness permit issued to Mercy Wellness of Cotati at 7950 Redwood Drive.

Request
The applicant, Mercy Wellness of Cotati (“Mercy”), is requesting approval to operate a cannabis consumption lounge in conjunction with their existing commercial cannabis microbusiness permit. The lounge would be located in two commercial suites (#15 & #16) in the same building as Mercy’s existing operations at 7950 Redwood Drive. The subject suites are currently permitted by the City to operate as a bar/tavern/night club/restaurant.

Background
On August 22, 2007, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 787 adding Chapter 8.24 to the Cotati Municipal Code, which authorized the establishment of Medical Marijuana Dispensaries within the City of Cotati. Then, on March 20, 2010, the City Council granted its first (and only) medical marijuana dispensary license to Mercy Medical Dispensary (Mercy) at 7950 Redwood Drive. The City Council renewed Mercy’s medical dispensary license annually until 2018 when City laws changed (coupled with changes in State law), allowing for the sale of both medicinal and recreational adult-use marijuana (cannabis).

In response to the California Compassionate Use Act, the California Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, SB 94, and the Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act; on February 23, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 883 - adding Section 17.42.200 (Commercial Cannabis Uses), amending Tables 2-2 and 2-3 of Chapter 17.22 (Allowable Uses and Permit Requirements), amending Chapter 17.90 (Definitions), and repealing Chapter 8.24 (Medical Marijuana

11.A
Packet Pg. 128
Dispensaries) of the Cotati Municipal Code to allow and regulate certain commercial cannabis uses within the City.

On June 12, 2018, the City Council awarded a commercial cannabis microbusiness permit to Mercy Wellness of Cotati - allowing for small indoor cultivation (less than 10,000 square feet of canopy), non-volatile manufacturing, distribution, and store-front retail activities (under State License Type 12 - Microbusiness) at 7950 Redwood Drive. Since 2018, the City has biannually renewed Mercy’s commercial cannabis microbusiness permit, and the permit remains in good standing. Currently, Mercy is active in all permitted commercial cannabis activities - retail, cultivation, manufacturing & distribution.

As allowed by State law, on April 26, 2022, the City Council authorized the establishment of cannabis consumption lounges at permitted store-front cannabis retail facilities by adopting Ordinance 908, amending Section 9.31.060 (Places where Smoking is Optional), amending Chapter 17.22 Table 2-2 (Allowable Land Uses), amending Section 17.42.200 (Commercial Cannabis Uses and Requirements), and amending Chapter 17.90 (Definitions).

On February 21, 2023, the City received an application from Mercy Wellness of Cotati requesting that a cannabis consumption lounge be added to the permissible commercial cannabis activities allowed under their commercial cannabis microbusiness permit.

Similarly, Mercy applied to the California Department of Cannabis Control for a licensed premises change that would allow for a cannabis consumption lounge, and received State approval on April 11, 2023.

Analysis/Discussion
Proposal
The applicant is proposing to remodel two commercial suites of an existing commercial building at 7950 Redwood Drive and occupy them as a cannabis consumption lounge. The subject suites (#15 & #16) are the most southerly units in the building and are approximately 4,566 square feet in size with an outdoor patio area that is approximately 900 square feet.

The lounge would be located within the same building as Mercy’s existing commercial cannabis business, but there would not be direct access from the retail dispensary area to the lounge.

Presently, Mercy operates as a “microbusiness”, a state category of commercial cannabis permit which allows multiple commercial cannabis activities under a single permit. Mercy’s current activities include cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and store-front retail activities. The current total space occupied by Mercy is approximately 24,502 square feet of the 40,485 building. A specific breakdown of the space occupied by each of Mercy’s activities is described in the attached information provided by the applicant.

11.A
Packet Pg. 129
Consumption Lounge Operations
There are several cannabis consumption lounges located throughout the state, but this would be the first one in Sonoma County. It is expected that cannabis consumption lounges will continue to grow throughout the State, and they are generally viewed as the next step in the growth of the fledgling regulated cannabis industry. The intent of the consumption lounge is to allow customers to try new products in a safe and comfortable environment. This proposed lounge is also intended to showcase the multiple facets of Mercy’s cannabis production processes from seed to final product.

A detailed description of how the lounge will operate is provided in the attached information, and the Conditions of Approval listed in the attached Resolution, but can be summarized as follows:
• The lounge will initially be open for limited hours and days but is expected to eventually be open Monday through Sunday from 9:00 am to 10:00 pm.

11.A
Packet Pg. 130
• The lounge will offer consumption of cannabis by smoking, vaping, topical application, and ingestion.
• The consumption of cannabis products will be screened from all public and non-agerestricted areas. • All cannabis consumption that produces smoke will be consumed in a designated outdoor area or an area served by an adequate carbon-filtered ventilation system. • Only people 21 years of age or older will be allowed into the lounge. This restriction must be conspicuously posted at the entrance to the lounge. • No alcohol or tobacco will be sold or consumed within the lounge area. • This permit authorizes the sale of pre-packaged food and non-alcoholic beverages, and the sale of food from legally operating food trucks. Mercy would be responsible for acquiring any local or state permits that may be required for such activity. However, there is pending state legislation to allow food service in a cannabis consumption lounge. If this bill passes, food service would be offered subject to approval of a Food Facility Operating Permit from the County Department of Health Services. • No outside cannabis will be permitted in the lounge. All cannabis consumed in the lounge must be purchased from Mercy. Cannabis products will be ordered from the lounge and delivered from the dispensary to the lounge. All cannabis sold will be tested, prepackaged products in keeping with the requirements of state law. • The permit authorizes events to be held during standard operating hours that may include live music, celebrity appearances, comedy performances, food truck vendors, cannabis brand activations, and onsite consumption. All advertised events require Mercy to notify the Department of Community Development and the Police Department at least 60 days prior to the event. Upon review, the City may deny the event or apply certain conditions to the event’s operation or hours.

Consumption Lounge Safety
To ensure the cannabis consumption lounge operates as safely as possible, the applicant has proposed a number of safety-focused operating procedures and policies, which are described in the attached information provided by the applicant. Additionally, there are a series of safety items set forth in the Conditions of Approval listed in the attached Resolution. The project proposal and conditions of approval that address safety matters include, but are not limited to:
• Prior to entry, Mercy will provide the customer with a membership agreement with a list of rules and regulations that must be adhered to. This agreement educates the customer on safe cannabis consumption and the risks associated with cannabis consumption, including driving.
• The use of Patronscan, which is a technology system that scans and analyzes IDs, including driver’s licenses and passports. The system can identify fake IDs and also includes a database of over 50,000 individuals known for assaults, chargebacks, serious drug violations, and property damage. This significantly reduces the potential of incidents by spotting and refusing entry to restricted individuals before a problem occurs.

11.A
Packet Pg. 131
• Lounge employees will be required to attend a “Responsible Cannabis Sever” and a “Responsible Beverage Server” certification course within one (1) month of employment and must satisfactorily pass each exam with an 80% score or better. These trainings include how to properly verify IDs as well as methods to identify intoxicated individuals to prevent over-serving.
• Alcohol (and tobacco) will not be allowed to be sold or consumed within the lounge. • Any customer identified as impaired or overly intoxicated will not be allowed admittance into the lounge.
• Any attendee who has been identified as intoxicated will not be allowed to drive and will be offered alternative transportation. Any attendee actively resisting such efforts and who enters a vehicle with the intention of driving shall be immediately reported to the Police.

This shall include a description and direction of the vehicle and the patron’s name if known.
• Mercy has partnered with Uber and will be providing free transportation to those they feel are unsafe to drive. Mercy will promote and incentivize patrons to have a rideshare or designated driver. They are also required to provide written literature explaining the dangers of driving while under the influence of cannabis. • A security plan approved by the Cotati Chief of Police will be required to be installed prior to opening and adhered to while in operation.
• Mercy has developed a Safe Consumption Policy, which is focused on educating customers about consuming cannabis safely and the different methods of consuming cannabis, which can have very different effects on individuals.

Financial Considerations
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City general fund associated with processing of the requested permit, and the project does not require the expenditure of City funds. All commercial cannabis permit applicants pay an application fee in conjunction with their applications. Staff time to review the application, inspect the premises, and coordinate with the California Department of Cannabis Control are charged against this application fee. Mercy Wellness of Cotati is also subject to the City’s cannabis business tax requirements as a commercial cannabis microbusiness facility. If granted, the request to allow a cannabis consumption lounge at Mercy will likely lead to an increase in sales revenue and tax receipts, as well as promote visitor/tourist activity within the City.

Environmental Issues
Based on all available information, the project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption, pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), because the proposed project is the re-use of two suites within an existing commercial building with no increase in square footage, and with a land use found to meet all City of Cotati development criteria; therefore no further environmental documentation is required.

Packet Pg. 135 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) Introduction
Thank you for considering our application amendment to become one of the first microbusinesses in the State of California to offer a complete farm to taste experience. Mercy Wellness of Cotati and its owner Brandon Levine is a pioneer in the cannabis industry. We feel very fortunate that the City of Cotati is progressive and has entrusted Mercy Wellness to operate a dispensing facility for over 11 years.

With the passing of Prop 64, cannabis became legal statewide in 2018. The voters spoke, they want cannabis and Mercy Wellness is here to give them what they need in a safe and professional manner.

While the recreational cannabis industry has been in existence for over four years, Mercy Wellness believes that there are still many opportunities to improve where, when, and how cannabis is sold as well as consumed.

We believe that adding an On-Site Consumption Lounge is an opportunity for the City of Cotati to be at the forefront of innovation and a destination for tourists for years to come. We hope this document reflects the amount of time, energy and resources invested in this process. We are very grateful for your consideration and hope to meet the high standards of the Planning Commission and City Council.

Mercy Wellness’ goal is to fill the demand for a wellness and education-focused cannabis retail experience for locals and tourists alike. We feel that we’re in an ideal location to add an On-Site Consumption Lounge as the current use is a micro-brewery. We plan to develop and focus on the customer experience that mirrors similar to wineries and other micro-breweries.

Project Description
Mercy Wellness of Cotati is a licensed cannabis microbusiness facility with permits to cultivate, manufacture, and distribute cannabis, as well as conduct retail sales with delivery in the City of Cotati.

We are a company run by cannabis professionals who seek to add a fully operational on-site consumption lounge to our facility.

Our business operates within an existing 40,485-sf commercial building known as Gravenstein Business Center located at 7950 Redwood Drive, Cotati, California. Currently, the dispensary portion of our facility consists of Suites 6, 7, 8,9, 23 and 24 for a total of approximately 8,241 square feet, in which 2,300 square feet of this area is dedicated to the public retail dispensing area.

The cultivation portion consists of Suites 10, 11, 12, 21, and 22 for a total of approximately 5,750 square feet. This facility is not open to the public and no retail sales transactions will take place. These cultivation activities occur in sealed rooms equipped with odor control and air purification systems, as will the entire premise. The cannabis that is cultivated in this facility supplies the Adult-Use market in 3 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 136 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) our adjacent retail dispensary as well as other Retail Dispensaries through licensed Distributors throughout California.

The manufacturing use consists of Suites 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29 for a total of approximately 5,550 square feet. This facility will be manufacturing Adult-Use and Medicinal cannabis. Cannabis will enter the facility as biomass (cannabis leaves) or partially refined oil predesignated for Adult-Use or Medicinal depending on the license of the cultivator.

The distribution use consists of Suites 14, 15, 18, 19, and 20 for a total of approximately 4,961 square feet. This facility distributes Adult-Use and Medicinal cannabis, which is securely transported from licensed cultivation facilities or other distributors for the purpose of distribution, testing and tax collection. This stand-alone distribution acts as a fulfillment center to Mercy Wellness and other licensed retail dispensaries.

The proposed on-site consumption lounge consists of Suites 15 and 16 for a total of 4,566 square feet.

Cannabis products will be delivered by an employee from the retail location to customers for consumption in The Lounge at Mercy. The mission for The Lounge at Mercy is to provide education and experience using clean cannabis products in an above-board professional facility. For more information regarding the building layout and uses, please refer to Attachment A: The Lounge at Mercy Wellness Floor Plan & Site Plan.

We strongly believe in bringing quality cannabis products to our local community and providing educational experiences for customers who are new to cannabis use. Our multifaceted facility is meant to show transparency of the cannabis production process to our consumers so they can trust the quality and care that goes into our products. To build on these principles, we seek to open and operate an on-site consumption lounge on our premises. On-site consumption lounges are the future of the cannabis industry, and allow customers to try new products in a safe, comfortable environment. We want to be at the forefront of this next step in the cannabis sector, and help facilitate an even more positive cannabis environment in the City of Cotati.

Owner Qualifications
Operations are overseen by Brandon Levine as the Executive Director. Brandon has successfully been the Managing Director of Mercy Wellness in Cotati for the past 11-years. His most recent contribution to the cannabis community was serving as a board member of the Cannabis Advisory Group (CAG) where his years of operating experience gave insight to the County of Sonoma and the Board of Supervisors to build and reform commercial cannabis licensing.

The experience and knowledge of the commercial cannabis community also placed Brandon on the Sonoma County Marijuana Technical Advisory Committee (MTAC), also known as the Marijuana Task Force, which includes representatives of nearly every county agency. The MTAC included several 4 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 137 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) working groups such as Agriculture and the Environment, Enforcement and Land Use, Taxation and Revenue, Economic Development and Jobs and Health and Human Services. Together these groups explored many facets of the cannabis industry and its impacts in the community to develop the ordinance that regulates the industry in Sonoma County.

In addition to MTAC, Brandon was a board member of the California Growers Association (CGA). This statewide cannabis lobbying organization was formed in 2015 to protect and promote growers and independent businesses within California’s cannabis industry. CGA works actively on the frontline of monumental policy decisions being made at the state level.

Brandon was also a board member of the Sonoma County Growers Alliance (SCGA) which educates, collaborates and advocates for patient, cultivator and community rights and responsibilities. SCGA works cooperatively with all individuals, businesses and regulatory bodies to ensure that reasonable environmental, social and economic standards are set in place, helping cultivators within the community to participate and thrive responsibly.

In early 2023, SCGA was re-formed as Sonoma County Cannabis Alliance (SCCA). SCCA is a grassroots nonprofit group organized to educate, collaborate and advocate around operator and community rights and responsibilities in the cannabis space. They work cooperatively with individuals, businesses, and regulatory bodies to educate our members and the community and to ensure that reasonable environmental, social and economic standards are set in place, helping cannabis operators within the community to participate and succeed in the regulated cannabis marketplace.

SCCA also brings together industry leaders from a variety of fields and sectors of the supply chain to educate and activate operators and community members. This is where Brandon along with our independent security firm, ESP Pros has mentored many local cannabis operators from other retailers to cultivation, distribution and manufacturing facilities on safety, security. In addition to educating the industry on best practices, Brandon is always making recommendations on how to safely secure a cannabis business.

Enclosed smoking areas will be separately ventilated, with sufficient negative pressure, air exchange, odor control/filtration, self-closing sealed doors, and other operational and physical measures to ensure that the general public or other persons outside of the enclosed smoking area are not exposed to secondhand smoke or associated odors. Employee exposure, if any, shall be consistent with State law. In addition, an odor absorbing ventilation and exhaust system will be installed so that odor generated inside the business is not detected outside the property or lease area boundaries, or anywhere on adjacent property, or public rights-of-way, or within any other unit located within the same building as the on-site consumption lounge.

The Lounge at Mercy Wellness will not prepare and serve food for any period of time that state law prohibits non-cannabis food and beverage from being prepared and sold on-site. The Lounge at Mercy understands deviations from a consumption area application related to the preparation and sale of non-cannabis food and beverages are permitted, subject to confirmation by the City of Cotati. If regulations were to change and laws are updated, The Lounge at Mercy will seek permission from the City of Cotati and provide plans for preparing and serving food, as well as nonalcoholic beverages that will complement the cannabis that is being consumed.

At that point The Lounge at Mercy will also obtain a County Health Food Facility Operating Permit issued by the Sonoma County Department of Health Services and abide by all application requirements, inspections and any current or future regulations. The on-site consumption lounge will also comply with all applicable provisions of the California Retail Food Code (Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 113700) of Part 7 of Division 104 of the Health and Safety Code) when preparing and selling 6 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 139 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) non-cannabis food and beverage products. There would then also be designated staff that will only take and serve food and nonalcoholic drink orders. Employees that deliver and serve cannabis will not be taking and delivering food to customers.

Mercy Wellness will clearly post a sign to the exterior entrance to Suite #16 that no person under the age of 21 shall be allowed in the on-site consumption lounge. All persons entering the site, including those representing a regulatory agency, shall present a photo identification verifying that they are 21 years of age or older. The exterior and interior entrances will also have clear and legible posted notice indicating that smoking and vaping of cannabis is prohibited on-site or in the vicinity of the site except in the designated permitted area(s).

The Lounge at Mercy provides a lobby, “waiting area” at the entrance to receive members. This is the only entrance and is controlled by on-site security personnel by way of a secured locked door, a buzz-in electronic/mechanical entry system, and electronic surveillance cameras. The waiting area is controlled by a lounge employee qualified during all hours of operation. Depending on the type of customer any and all individuals will have to present:

If Adult-Use: Valid government issued photo ID whose date of birth is at least 21 years prior to the date of entry.

If Medicinal: Valid California photo ID whose date of birth is at least 21 years prior to the date of entry and a valid doctor’s recommendation which must be a formal letter, written on a doctor’s letterhead, listing the doctor’s medical license information as well as the date the recommendation expires. A recommendation containing these elements written by a doctor in the State of California will allow a patient to gain access to the dispensary after they have been approved and buzzed in through the security system.

The Lounge at Mercy employee will verify all recommendations are valid by way of online verifications, contacting the doctor’s office by telephone or work with a Mercy Customer Service Representative CSR in the Retail premise using the Treez POS System. Depending upon the doctor, verifications can happen instantly or may take up to a week. The dispensary, prior to dispensing medical cannabis, always obtains verification from the recommended Physician that he or she is a qualified patient. Records are maintained on-site digitally and physically secured and are allowed to be verified by the City as needed and at least every 21 months by the qualifying patient’s physician or Doctor of Osteopathy. The Mercy Wellness Micro-Business campus does not have a physician on site.

The Lounge at Mercy will utilize Patronscan, a state-of-the-art technology system that analyzes over 6,000 data points to determine an ID's authenticity. Patronscan verifies over 4,500 IDs from around the world, including all driver's licenses and passports with near-zero false positives. This terminal will mark the screen red (see photo on right below) when troublemakers scan their ID including details on 7 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 140 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) why they've been flagged. Patronscan’s leading ID verification technology catches most fake IDs in seconds. Their proprietary algorithms go beyond simple ID authentication to look for pixel-level discrepancies present in the modern counterfeit. This software can also flag potential trouble from 50,000+ individuals known for assaults, chargebacks, drugs and property damage and reduces incidents by as much as 97% by spotting these individuals before it becomes a problem. The Lounge at Mercy will easily be able to keep track of banned customers from the on-site consumption lounge and from our retail locations.

The Lounge at Mercy employees will provide the customer with a list of rules and regulations. This membership agreement must be signed agreeing to the governing cannabis use and consumption within the City of Cotati as well as recommendations on sensible cannabis etiquette. The membership agreement also states that no outside products are allowed and they will only consume products provided by our retail facility in The Lounge at Mercy. Customers also have to agree not to redistribute cannabis obtained from the consumption lounge or use in a manner that violates local City and State laws. Lastly customers will agree to consume our products in the designated consumption areas and not in public spaces outside of our facility. If a customer fails to comply, Mercy Wellness reserves the right to revoke their membership.

The Lounge at Mercy will utilize a reservation system so that there is the ability to limit the number of occupants and have a timed experience. This will provide analytics that we can use to improve our processes and procedures. Cannabis consumption and effect varies by person to person, therefore the number one priority is safety. If a customer is new to consumption, or looking to try different types of cannabis products, a lounge employee is there to educate them on use.

When the membership agreement is signed and the customer receives proper education, they are allowed to enter the consumption lounge. The customer will be escorted to one of a variety of inside or outside seating to choose from. Customers will view a few types of menus featuring different cannabis products, food and non-alcoholic beverages. Mercy Wellness plans to have a cannabis-sommelier to help 8 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 141 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) guide customers through their selection while providing education on consumption, dosing and onset.

Then customers make their selections based upon their needs.

The cannabis-sommelier will assist the customer in placing their cannabis product order through Mercy Wellness’ POS system Treez using a Microsoft Surface Pro, iPad, or their personal device. The customer will then check-out their cart using the delivery method and can even pay upfront using a card. All payments for the purchase of any cannabis products will run through Treez and settled in the Retail premise.

The order is received by the fulfillment center in Mercy’s Retail premise. The customer will be verified before cannabis product orders will be processed. The Fulfillment Team will hand-off to the Delivery Team who will enter the on-site consumption lounge and locate and verify the customer before finalizing the transaction. All transactions will be recorded in Treez POS, and is reconciled in METRC.

The entire lifecycle of the order will be recorded using an advanced security system. Cannabis products will not be stored in The Lounge at Mercy unless they are sold to a customer.

The on-site consumption lounge will only deliver cannabis to an individual in an amount reasonable for on-site consumption. Cannabis and cannabis products purchased on-site may be removed from their packaging and consumed onsite. Cannabis and cannabis products not fully consumed on-site may be resealed in their original packaging, placed in opaque packaging, and taken off site by the consumer.

The Lounge at Mercy will not sell live plants or seeds. The Lounge at Mercy will only provide cannabis to an individual in an amount consistent with personal possession and use limits allowed by the State of California.

The Lounge at Mercy will provide law enforcement and all neighbors within 100-feet of the business with the name and phone number of an on-site community relations employee to notify if there are operational problems with the establishment. The City of Cotati, Cotati Police Chief and/or its Officers, Adobe Fire District Fire Department Staff or other agents or employees of the City requesting admission for the purpose of determining compliance with these standards will be given unrestricted access. In addition, Mercy will attend regular meetings if needed with the City of Cotati Police Department, Adobe Fire District and the City of Cotati’s Public Safety Department staff to review public safety issues should any arise associated with the operations.

Safe Consumption
When it comes to the on-site consumption lounge and the patrons who will utilize it, safety is Mercy’s number one priority. We will cut off service to inebriated patrons and will provide transportation through a rideshare service if necessary. In order to further our vision of cannabis education and commercial transparency, we have drafted a Safe Consumption Policy, which will be made available to all of our patrons.
9 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 142 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) This policy will also double as part of the employee training and customer education programs for the various products the on-site consumption lounge sells, including potency of the products, absorption time, and effects of the products. Employees will also diligently educate all customers in an effort to ensure responsible consumption when they sign their membership agreement. The Lounge at Mercy is also working on developing software that can track the consumption through a customer profile to help with usage and sampling propensities.

Safe Transport
Mercy Wellness has also put together a rideshare program. We have partnered with Uber and will be providing free transportation to those that we may feel are unsafe to drive. Mercy Wellness wants to make it easy for drivers to make the right choice to never drive impaired. We will also encourage through education that rideshare apps offer a convenient transportation option that helps reduce the risk of driving under the influence, especially among younger drivers. We will promote and incentivize patrons to have a rideshare (Uber, Lyft, etc) pick them up and bring them to and from The Lounge at Mercy.

Noise
The structure housing the on-site consumption lounge will have adequate soundproofing so that interior and exterior noise shall comply with Chapter 9.100: Nuisance Abatement from the Cotati Municipal Code. In addition, Mercy Wellness will enforce appropriate patron conduct and make an announcement at closing requesting customers respect the residents of the adjacent residential neighborhoods by being quiet when leaving. Mercy will also post signage clearly visible within the consumption area and on-site parking area(s), requesting patrons to respect residents of adjacent residential neighborhoods by being quiet when leaving.

Odor Mitigation Plan
A combination of engineering and administrative controls is proposed to effectively mitigate cannabis smoke and odors. Engineering controls include carbon filtration via a dedicated environmental exhaust fan; and negatively pressurizing odor sources. Carbon filtration is commonly accepted throughout the cannabis industry as the current best engineering control technology for mitigating odors in facilities generating marijuana smoke and odors with exhaust air/filter intake points located in areas of the facility where smoke and odor-generating activities take place. As such, the engineering control strategy will effectively mitigate smoke and odors within the facility.

Design Considerations: Carbon filtration smoke and odor removal effectiveness depends on three criteria:
10 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 143 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge)

1. Exhaust air contact time

2. Filter cleanliness

3. Negative room pressurization
Contact time is a function of air velocity through the filter and should be designed to maintain a minimum contact time of 0.2 seconds or as specified by the manufacturer. Filter cleanliness can be quantified by monitoring system pressure drop across the filter and should not exceed a manufacturer’s published performance rating for a given filter. Areas of high smoke and odor concentration are typically negatively pressurized to allow for the control of odors through carbon filter(s).

System Design: The following summarizes the administrative and engineering controls proposed to mitigate cannabis odors:

1. Administrative Controls
a. Standard operating procedures will require routine monitoring of carbon filter differential static pressure.
b. Filter replacement will be required any time monitoring yields acceptable pressure monitoring results.
c. Monitoring results and filter replacement dates will be documented in an odor control log available to a building inspector in the event of a compliant or routine inspection.

2. Engineering Controls
a. Carbon filter(s) and environmental exhaust fan(s) will be specified to maintain an acceptable contact time.
b. Carbon filter(s) exhaust air inlet(s) will be located in storage room(s), creating a negative pressure in this space.
c. Intermittently operated environmental exhaust fans (break room, restroom, etc) will not be filtered.
d. Exhaust fan make-up air will be via mandatory ventilation air at space conditioning equipment.
e. Exhaust fan and space conditioning equipment shall be required to operate continuously during occupied hours.
f. System testing and balancing will be required of the installing contractor. g. Contractor shall provide a test and balance report to the owner inducing: initial system pressure drop; outdoor air rates at space conditioning equipment; and environmental exhaust rates.
h. Installing contractor shall provide written monitoring instructions and provide operational training to the owner upon placing the system in service.

Security Measures
In order to minimize environmental impacts and preserve the safety of the surrounding community, 11 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 144 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) safeguards have been implemented as an integral part of this project. All reasonable measures have been incorporated into the security plan that assures employee and property safety and uninterrupted uses of adjacent business spaces. At each entrance and exit to the facility, camera coverage will record customer facial features with sufficient clarity to determine identity.

All areas used for commercial cannabis activities have locking doors, with commercial-grade non-residential locks, to prevent free access. Only staff and persons with bonafide business are permitted in the restricted access areas. All other visitors remain in the designated waiting area until qualified or turned away.

The Lounge at Mercy installed a variety of security devices to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to any location where cannabis is stored, so that employees are safe and secure inside. All doors are equipped with locks and alarms that will sound if they are opened without code and key or if they are damaged. The security system is run and operated by an outside agency.

Security lighting is one of the most effective ways to prevent crime in or around a cannabis business.

There is sufficient exterior lighting surrounding the entire building and property that is monitored by Mercy Wellness in order to ensure that all lighting is functioning properly. The interior of the building has dedicated security lights that are on 24/7.

Mercy Wellness contracts with a 3rd party Security Company, ESP Pros. For more information regarding security at our facility, please refer to Attachment C: Safety & Security Plan.

Staffing
No person under the age of twenty-one (21) is employed at Mercy Wellness. The Lounge at Mercy will maintain a current register of the names and contact information of all employees. Mercy will ensure that each person engaged in the operations has the education, training and experience or any combination thereof, to enable that person to perform all assigned functions.

In order to hire a good workforce, Mercy Wellness will conduct background checks on every associate and employee. All current employees already have background searches that were conducted by the California Department of Justice and verified by local law enforcement. As a condition of employment, any and all future employees must submit fingerprints to an approved Live Scan vendor and pass an electronic background check completed by the DOJ and FBI before they can be hired.

Mercy anticipates hiring individuals from the surrounding community and will market its hiring campaigns in order to accomplish this. Currently the positions to be recruited will be for hostess greeters, canna-concierges and canna-sommeliers, food and beverage servers, product runners, cooks, bussers, dishwashers and security personnel.
12 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 145 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) Staff for Mercy Wellness will include one General Manager and up to twenty-five (25) full-time/part-time employees. Starting wages for any new employee begins at-least $18.00/hour. The Lounge at Mercy employees will arrive and leave daily for a work shift from 8:30 am to 10:30 pm, 7 days a week. There will be at minimum four employees working each day, working four 10-hour shifts or five 8-hour shifts, depending on the position. Shifts are created to ensure that each employee receives required lunches and breaks. The Lounge at Mercy will have a dedicated manager responsible for supervising employees at all times during business hours. A manager will be on-site seven days per week during work shifts and will be on-call for any after hour emergencies.

No person shall be allowed onto the premises unless they are an employee, customer, vendor or contractor of the retail facility, a primary caregiver, and/or a qualified patient or an employee of an agency having jurisdiction monitoring or investigating the terms of regulatory compliance. In addition, and in strict accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 11362.5 et seq., no person under the age of twenty- one (21) shall be allowed on a nonmedical cannabis retail site pursuant to California Business and Professions Code section 26140.

Mercy Wellness authorizes the Police Chief to implement an employee permit system, whereby any employee or volunteer of a commercial cannabis business must obtain a work permit from the City of Cotati. At a minimum, this work permit will be visibly displayed at all times by the employee or volunteer when he or she is working and contains a recent photograph of the individual.

All newly hired employees will receive training on the detailed operations and education on cannabis, with an emphasis on safe consumption. Weekly employee and staff training will be held, covering all security and emergency procedures, compliance with state and local regulations, and also to address any training deficiencies. Mercy Wellness will also maintain records of any training provided to personnel for the performance of all assigned functions. Personnel training includes instructions regarding regulatory inspection preparedness and law-enforcement interaction as well as state and local laws, regulations and policies. These records will be available to the Chief of Police, designee, or any other City official authorized to enforce the Cotati Municipal Code for purposes of determining compliance.

All employees will be thoroughly trained in procedures to ensure a consistent, quality experience for the customers. It is important to both the medicinal and adult-use cannabis retail customers and the industry in California that employees are highly educated in the therapeutic benefits of cannabis.

Employees will not be allowed to work without completing the necessary company-mandated training.

We strongly encourage all employees to maintain studies in developing retail practices and to conduct background research on cannabis in order to fully immerse themselves in this industry.

Policies are implemented to protect personnel in all operations and provide personnel with adequate safety training, accident reporting and investigation policies as well as fire prevention and response plans. An emergency contact list is visibly posted and maintained which includes operation manager, 13 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 146 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) emergency responders, poison control and fire department contacts.

Occupational Safety: Mercy Wellness will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing California Agricultural Employers, which may include: federal and state wage and hour laws, CAL/OSHA, OSHA and the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act.

Green Waste Management
Mercy Wellness has implemented and maintains a waste management plan. All waste including cannabis waste, is disposed of in accordance with applicable laws. All cannabis products consumed in The Lounge at Mercy have been sold to an end-user via retail delivery, there are no requirements for the state’s track-and-trace compliance software, METRC. The Lounge at Mercy will dispose of cannabis waste in a secured waste receptacle in a secured area on the licensed premises. “Secured waste receptacle” or “secured area” means that physical access to the receptacle or area is restricted to the licensee, employees of the licensee, the local agency, waste hauler franchised or contracted by the local agency, or private waste hauler permitted by the local agency only.

Public access to the designated receptacle and area are prohibited. Cannabis waste is stored in a secure area of the facility until picked up by our contracted waste hauler or self transport/self-haul.

No cannabis product is disposed of in its packaging. Cannabis products in packaging designated for disposal will be removed from the package prior to disposal. All flower/flower waste will be disposed of by mixing cannabis with sand until unrecognizable. Vape cartridges will be rendered unrecognizable and unusable as cannabis or a cannabis product at the time of disposal by the contracted disposal company.

Again, Cannabis products are consumed by customers after the purchase is made, therefore no cannabis waste from the consumption lounge will be entered into the track and trace system. The Lounge at Mercy will however maintain records of the business name, address, contact person, and contact phone number of the entity hauling the cannabis green waste. We will also obtain and maintain documentation from the entity hauling the waste that evidences subscription to the waste collection service.

Sanitization
When it comes to apparatuses, it’s important to only use sanitation methods and systems specifically developed for use in food-contact environments. Isopropyl alcohol wipes will be used on mouth pieces and surfaces. Even though we will not be preparing food on-site, glass pipes, bongs and dab rigs will need to be sanitized in between every use. One of the most important pieces of equipment will be a commercial glassware washing machine that will be used to clean and sanitize any apparatus. The commercial glassware washing machine is designed to meet regulatory requirements 14 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 147 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) for sanitary and design that are approved for food contact. The Lounge at Mercy will ensure apparatus does not pose a risk of contaminant introduction to the product, and that the apparatus is cleanable.

Other equipment and utensils may also be installed to allow for effective cleaning and maintenance such as application of UV light. Written procedures for cleaning and sanitizing equipment and utensils will be maintained and include the detailed, written procedure for cleaning, sanitizing, and maintaining (including calibrating) equipment and utensils. A schedule for cleaning, sanitizing, and maintenance. A procedure, including a log, for documentation of the date and time of maintenance, cleaning, and sanitizing of equipment and utensils. In addition, a detailed, written procedure for storage of cleaned and sanitized equipment to protect it from contamination.

Facility Cleanliness
General office trash and recycling is stored in an existing locked and enclosed disposal area. All refuse is behind a secured fencing out of the view of the public. Recycling is securely removed from the premises by Recology’s Waste Zero Program.

Our team clears the trash and litter that is found on sidewalks adjoining the premises plus 10-feet beyond property lines along the street as well as parking lots under the control of The Lounge at Mercy as needed. Graffiti shall be removed from the premise and parking lots within 72-hours of its found application.

Each employee is assigned daily tasks related to cleaning. A mandatory check-list is signed off every shift by management to ensure that the on-site consumption lounge, bathrooms, breakroom, security and reception areas are cleaned and maintained to the highest quality. In addition, a Compliance Director checks weekly that these tasks are signed off daily.

Compliance Inspections
Mercy Wellness of Cotati and The Lounge at Mercy will allow access to all areas of the premise in its entirety, and shall be subject to compliance inspections by the City, County or other governing agencies.

Any inspection shall be conducted during regular business hours, with at least 24-hours’ notice unless public health or safety requires otherwise.

Events
The Lounge at Mercy will have ticketed events on various nights such as senior education; comedy shows; movie nights; major sporting events such as World Series, Super Bowl and March Madness; game nights and bingo; paint and puff and small musical acts. Mercy will also work with brand partners 15 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 148 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) to host their corporate events for private parties. On most days there will be ambient music playing in the background.

Modified Opening Plan
If approved, The Lounge at Mercy will open and operate the on-site consumption lounge under a phased approach. At first there will be limited terms such as open only 2 days/week to the public (potentially Saturdays and Sundays). Events may be limited to private parties. Mercy Wellness of Cotati feels this is in the best interest of protecting our community, patrons and our employees. We only have one opportunity to make the first impression and we want it to feel right and our focus to be on cannabis education and safe consumption.

Community Benefits
Since inception in 2010, Mercy Wellness mission is to serve the community. We feel this project will fall in line with the City’s Vision for Cotati. We believe that adding an on-site consumption lounge will reinforce both the quality and vitality of the community. In addition, this new business will promote existing businesses in the surrounding area and encourage new businesses to our community. The Lounge at Mercy will also be a tax generator that will help balance the city budget and add to appropriate reserves. Lastly, Mercy will add additional security presence and monitoring for the Gravenstein Business Center to protect the health and well-being of the community so that we provide a safe and secure environment.

Safety Plan
Mercy Wellness of Cotati has previously submitted a Safety Plan under the original Microbusiness License Application process to the City of Cotati. We currently have a comprehensive Injury Illness Prevention Program (IIPP). There are written procedures for Employee Accidents which include situations where an employee does not wish to seek medical care. The Employee Handbook also contains Worker’s Compensation Policy and what to do if there is an emergency and when to dial 911.

We will keep documents for all incidents and related expenses, serious injuries, first aid response, and chemical related medical emergencies. Additional staff training will cover OSHA requirements, workplace violence and will include action plans in event of fire, earthquake, weather disturbances or terrorist/robbery events. Medical emergency training will be conducted which includes CPR and defibrillators. Emergency exits will be clearly marked as well as the evacuation routes. Further instruction will include use of fire extinguishers and criteria for whether employees should attempt to extinguish a fire themselves.

Safe Consumption Policy
20 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 153 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) Policy and Purpose
The purpose of this document is to outline the ways that we at Mercy Wellness of Cotati and The Lounge at Mercy plan to implement safe and responsible consumption at our on-site cannabis consumption lounge and through delivery from our dispensary. On-site consumption lounges are the next step forward in the progress of the regulated cannabis industry. As jurisdictions permit regulated commercial cannabis dispensaries there is an empty space left in the market: safe spaces to consume cannabis.

We want to bring a safe consumption space to the City of Cotati community, where people can responsibly enjoy this regulated market and economically uplift our community. With seven U.S. states already legalizing regulated on-site consumption lounges, and with the City of Cotati permitting them, we will be supporting Cotati’s vision for regulation versus prohibition, and as a leader for other California jurisdictions to follow.

Consumption Education
One of the most important aspects of an on-site cannabis consumption lounge is making sure customers are consuming responsibly. Not every patron is going to be a long-time cannabis user, so it’s important that customers are provided all the information and education they need to make responsible decisions for themselves and those in their group. So, how do you responsibly consume cannabis? With cannabis, it isn’t always a cut-and-dry scenario of what is a responsible dose and what is too much.

Experts typically advise cannabis users to subscribe to the “Start low, go slow” method. This means starting with a small amount, and slowly increasing your serving size over several days or weeks. It also means starting with a low-THC product and gradually working up to more potent products with higher THC.

Every person is different, and what could be considered a “small” amount or a “low” THC product varies from individual to individual. For oral cannabis products, there is not yet an agreed-upon standard dose of THC. Although a proposal has been made to standardize oral dosing at 5 mg of THC, more cautious cannabis operators recommend that their customers start with 2.5 mg. Individuals more sensitive to the effects of oral ingestion of cannabis may experience unpleasant effects at doses of 5 mg, and studies have shown that women can also be more sensitive to the effects than men.

Consumption by Inhalation
Smoking is the oldest form of consuming cannabis and continues to be the most popular method even today. Cannabis flower is the most sold cannabis product. Smoking that flower in joints, pipes, or bongs 21 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 154 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) are some of the most popular ways to consume weed. After you take a drag off a joint or a pull off a bong, inhaled smoke travels from your mouth into your lungs. The inside of your lungs are lined with millions of air sacs called alveoli, and combined, they have a huge surface area.

Compounds in cannabis smoke, such as THC, enter your bloodstream via the air sacs in your lungs, traveling first to your brain, and then the rest of your body. This happens within seconds, and the cannabis consumer will likely feel the effects of smoking within minutes. Smoking methods include:

Rolling (joints or prerolls), pipes (including bubblers and one-hitters like chillums and dugouts) and bongs. Each has its pros and cons and provides a different experience.

Joints are arguably the most classic way to smoke flower. Portable and versatile, these rolls can be consumed almost anywhere with the flick of a match. It used to be that you or someone you knew had to have the skills to roll one, but not anymore with the advent of pre-rolls.

Pipes are probably the most common smoking device because they are small, portable, convenient, and easy to use. Just break up some flower, pack a bowl, put a flame to it, and inhale. They are available in different materials and come in many shapes and sizes, and price points. Pipe glass blowing itself has evolved into an art form, while other pipes are prized for their functionality.

Bongs also come in a variety of styles and designs, and usually increase in sophistication from pipes because they incorporate water and need a chamber for it. The addition of water cools the smoke, making hits smoother and cleaner, but it’s uncertain whether it acts as an effective filter for harmful substances.

The benefit of smoking flower is that you're able to taste the flavor. It is the purest, most basic way of consuming cannabis—it hasn’t been altered or turned into dabs, edibles, or other products and allows you to taste the flavor of a strain. Growers have different growing practices as well, which can come out in the flavor of flower. You can enjoy all the different varieties of strains and the different flavors and effects each has to offer when smoking flower. Other cannabis products could be a mix of many strains.

Consumption of Joints (aka PreRoll)
A pre-roll is, simply, a pre-rolled joint, typically with a crutch. Joints are cheap, discreet, disposable, and easily shared among friends. They require neither the financial investment of a bong nor the time commitment of an edible. But unless you’ve got nimble fingers or hours to spend practicing, it can be tough to learn how to twist one up.

Using shake, trim, or ground down nugs, the filling material is usually loaded into pre-rolled paper cones by the tens or even hundreds. A machine shakes the joints to help settle the mixture and remove air pockets. With a twist of the tip, the pre-roll’s ready to go. 22 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 155 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) Consumption by Vaping
Vaping delivers a different experience than smoking a joint, but it’s not easy to quantify that difference.

Recently, though, scientists have looked into the question and found that vaping actually packs a more powerful punch than the traditional joint. People who vaporized cannabis flower experienced more pronounced effects than those who smoked the same dose. Effects increased along with the dose administered, suggesting that vaporized flower should be approached with a more conservative dosing strategy than smoked flower, especially for infrequent consumers.

Consumption of Concentrates
Concentrates are another method cannabis users sometimes use. It refers to the act of heating cannabis on a hot surface and inhaling the smoke (vapors). This dose of cannabis is made by extracting THC and other cannabinoids. Heat is applied which vaporizes the cannabis concentrate. This oil is heated on a hot surface and inhaled through a specific type of water pipe known as a dab rig.

Consumption of Tinctures
Cannabis tinctures are alcohol-based cannabis extracts—essentially, cannabis-infused alcohol. In fact, tinctures were the main form of cannabis medicine until the United States enacted cannabis prohibition.

They’re a great entry point for both recreational and medical consumers looking to ease into smokeless consumption methods.

Topical Application
Topicals are cannabis-infused lotions, balms, and oils that are absorbed through the skin for localized relief of pain, soreness, and inflammation. Because they’re non-intoxicating, topicals are often chosen by patients who want the therapeutic benefits of marijuana without the cerebral euphoria associated with other delivery methods. Other transdermal innovations are fast arriving in the cannabis market, including long-lasting patches for patients and recreational consumers alike.

Consumption of Edibles
Mercy Wellness of Cotati and The Lounge at Mercy will always recommend that any customer starts with 1 mg to 2.5 mg of THC. This dosage is generally considered best practice for new users of cannabis edibles, beverages, and tinctures. Customers can always take more, but there is no way to reverse THC’s 23 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 156 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) effects after digesting an edible. Please see the table below which outlines acceptable uses for cannabis consumers.

According to a recent Leafly article, effects of cannabis edible doses vary from person to person. Leafly explains which effects are most often a result of certain doses, as well as which doses would work best for which type of cannabis users based on experience or physiological conditions. For example, the dosage range between 2.5 and 15 milligrams can be a good choice for people who are either social butterflies or people who have a hard time sleeping. This is due to the fact that a dosage range between

2.5 and 15 milligrams tends to produce strong physical symptom relief as well as a feeling of euphoria.

Providing a guide to our consumption lounge users similar to this will help customers gauge what kind of products to consume, with the general warning that this is not a blanket guide for all users.

An important bit of information to remember when considering cannabis dosing is that it is highly unlikely that a person would consume so much cannabis that major or fatal health complications occur as a result of drug dosing. However, consuming too much cannabis may cause decreased motor function, dizziness, anxiety, nausea, or minor hallucinations, but temporary discomfort and disorientation is the worst case scenario. In these cases a calm environment, a healthy amount of water, and some sugary foods will help the body process the overabundance of THC out of the system within a couple of hours.

Consumption of Beverages
Cannabis beverages start to kick in the moment they touch your tongue. When you take cannabis as a water-soluble liquid, THC absorbs into your bloodstream through the tissue of your mouth, esophagus, and stomach. First-timer could have 2.5 mg and feel great while a more experienced user might opt for 5-10 mg. Since it's a microdose, consumers can feel the buzz wear off a bit before they decide to grab another drink.

Cannabis and Driving
Driving under the influence of any substance can be a major risk, and cannabis is no different. Finding ways to keep consumers from driving while impaired is an important aspect of any consumption lounge’s business model.

Research into the effects of cannabis have concluded that the drug negatively affects a number of skills required for safe driving, including slowing your reaction time, impairing coordination, difficulty with decision-making, and distorted perception. Additionally, the risk of impaired driving associated with cannabis in combination with alcohol appears to be greater than that for either by itself.

The direct link between whether cannabis use increases the risk of car crashes is unclear, though. This is in part because an accurate roadside test for drug levels in the body doesn’t exist, combined with the fact 24 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 157 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) that cannabis can stay in a user’s system for days or weeks after consumption. However, because of its impairing effects, cannabis consumers must wait a sufficient time period before driving. Mercy Wellness of Cotati and The Lounge at Mercy will enforce this rule. This is a critical control point for any consumption lounge operator. Despite this obvious health and safety challenge, there are many ways that we will provide safe means for our customers to travel.

Initially, we require consumption lounge patrons to sign a release of liability form prior to consumption of any product. This form can include comprehensive warnings including how the cannabis plant is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, and how customers should not operate a motor vehicle or machinery for a designated period after consumption. This form will set a precedent for the customer to take personal responsibility to keep themselves safe and have a plan for their consumption practices.

We plan to develop this form once our consumption lounge is operational.

As an important component to our customer’s safety, we will also have transportation options in place for customers to use in case they become too impaired to drive. As a precursor to a customer’s arrival, we will encourage them to come with friends and designate a driver; use a ridesharing service; hire a cab; or take public transit as their means of travel, thereby eliminating the need for any of the patrons to drive. No matter what, we will remain diligent in the conduct and state of our customers, and we will be ready to help customers who need assistance with transportation from The Lounge at Mercy itself if they appear to be inebriated.

Customer Guidance and Assessing Impairment
Customers utilizing the space will have continuous access to and oversight by our experienced, knowledgeable staff at The Lounge at Mercy. Customer service representatives in cannabis retail facilities are extensively trained on the use, effects, and dosing on cannabis products in support of their retail responsibilities. One of the most important parts of cannabis customer service is guiding cannabis users of all experience levels to identify and use cannabis products to maximum benefit and safety. In the absence of a consumption lounge, this guidance is given in store with the hopes that customers are able to properly self-administer once they reach their private residence. A consumption lounge may prove to be the optimal location for new users to try unfamiliar products, as they can be visually observed and supported throughout the experience.

A critical component in ensuring the safety of our lounge is the ability of our staff to recognize when someone has become impaired. Staff will be trained on recognizing if a customer has become impaired, and reserves the right to stop serving anyone in The Lounge at Mercy at any time, for any reason. Our team will be developing this training for staff based on the guidelines for how to deal with overly-intoxicated patrons provided by the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control. Because the existence of cannabis consumption lounges is so new, there are not comprehensive protocols for how to deal with patrons that are too impaired. Therefore we have adapted our lounge’s protocols to match that of the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control’s Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) 25 11.A.a
Packet Pg. 158 Attachment: Council Information - Mercy Wellness Consumption Lounge (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) certification. Many of the same methods for impairment can be found within this educational program for bartenders. It’s the goal of Mercy Wellness of Cotati and The Lounge at Mercy to create our own Responsible Consumption Service (RCS) certification for our budtenders and all lounge employees.

Staff training will prioritize the management of consumption by customers, including encouraging food along with cannabis consumption, keeping track of the pace or amount of cannabis consumed by patrons, and slowing down service if a patron seems to be heading toward impairment. Staff will be trained on how to spot impaired customers by assessing reactions, inhibitions, change in physical appearance, coordination, and judgment. If a patron is deemed too impaired and service must cease, our staff will immediately alert a supervisor and arrangements will be made to make sure the customer is safely transported home. Any incidents involving impaired customers will be thoroughly documented, and staff training will emphasize de-escalation and assistance.

While we will be implementing this impairment assessment training upon initial opening of the consumption lounge, we will continue to adapt our strategies in terms of impairment assessment and our process as time goes on.

Customer Responsibility
No matter what, it’s important for each patron for Mercy Wellness on-site cannabis consumption lounge to know themselves and their limits. Providing advice and educational tools to new or inexperienced cannabis users is vital in guaranteeing a safe, enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Each individual patron is responsible for their own well-being and their own choices. As operators of a consumption lounge, we will take every possible measure to equip those customers with the information they need to have a safe experience, but it’s up to them to use that information for their own benefit. 26 11.A.a

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF COTATI

APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A COMMERCIAL CANNABIS MICROBUSINESS (STATE LICENSE TYPE 12) CONSISTING OF CULTIVATION (LESS THAN 10,000 SF OF CANOPY AND INCLUDING THE USE OF CARBON DIOXIDE), LEVEL 1 (NON-VOLATILE) MANUFACTURING INCLUDING THE USE OF ETHANOL, DISTRIBUTION, DELIVERY AND RETAIL) AT 7950 REDWOOD DRIVE, SUITES 4 THROUGH 12, 18 & 19 AND 21 THROUGH 29 – KNOWN GENERALLY AS MERCY WELLNESS (APN 144-060-005 & -006) WHEREAS, an application for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a commercial cannabis microbusiness (state license type 12) consisting of cultivation less than 10,000 square feet of canopy and including the use of carbon dioxide, level 1 (non-volatile) manufacturing including the use of ethanol, distribution, delivery and retail activities was received by the City on March 26, 2018; and

11.b
Packet Pg. 171 Attachment: Resolution No. PC-2018-3 (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission further finds that the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Cotati will not likely be jeopardized by the approval of this project.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the City of Cotati finds as follows:

A. That the above recitals are true and correct and constitute a part of the findings made by the Planning Commission in support of this Resolution.

B. That the Planning Commission does hereby find that the proposed project is consistent with the goals and policies of the City of Cotati General Plan.

C. That the Planning Commission of the City of Cotati does hereby approve a Use Permit to allow a commercial cannabis microbusiness (state license type 12) consisting of cultivation less than 10,000 sf of canopy including the use of carbon dioxide, level 1 (non-volatile) manufacturing including the use of ethanol, distribution, delivery and retail activities to be located in an existing facility at 7950 Redwood Drive, Suites 4 through 12, 18 and 19, and 21 through 29, subject to the approved Conditions of Approval as listed in Exhibit A and based on the following findings:

1. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zoning district and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Land Use Code and Municipal Codes.

The proposed use is allowable within the CG (Commercial, Gravenstein Corridor) Zoning District with prior conditional use permit approval by the Planning Commission. With inclusion of Conditions of Approval that address potential nuisance issues and hazardous materials management listed in Exhibit A, the proposed use satisfies requirements of the Land Use Code and Municipal Code.

2. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan.

The site carries a General Commercial General Plan land use designation and Commercial, Gravenstein zoning. With prior approval of a Conditional Use Permit and implementation of the conditions of approval, the proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and Land Use Code. The proposed use furthers the goals stated in the General Plan, listed below:

Economic Vitality Element
Objective EV 1C: “Strengthen and, where possible, expand the commercial sector to increase the number of jobs, meet the needs of residents and visitors, and generate revenue that supports city services.”
The proposed use is a growing industry in the County and State. The operator received City Council approval of a commercial cannabis permit on June 12, 2018 and has a business plan which will bring significant community benefit, including an increase in the number and diversity of jobs available within the City. With a condition added by the City Council to all the Commercial Cannabis Permits approved

11.b
Packet Pg. 172 Attachment: Resolution No. PC-2018-3 (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge) in June 2018, these jobs are required to pay a living wage.

Land Use Element
Objective LU 3A: “Ensure that commercial and industrial contributes to the economic vitality of the city while also enhancing the city’s small-town character and quality of life.”
The proposed microbusiness will occupy approximately half the square footage of an existing building and will retain all size limitations required by City regulations. Once operational, the business will contribute significantly to the City’s general fund revenue with their tax contributions. This revenue will enable the City to continue, and hopefully, expand the scope and qualify of services to our residents.

Policy LU 3.11: “Require adequate buffers and/or architectural consideration to protect residential areas, developed or undeveloped, from intrusion of non-residential activities that may degrade the quality of life in such residential areas.” The proposed use occurs within an existing building surrounded by streets on three sides and a fuel station on the fourth. It is located more than 400-feet from the nearest residential use so should not impact or intrude into residential areas or have a degrading effect on residential areas.

Noise Element
Policy N 1.6: “Support noise-compatible land uses along existing and future roadways, highways, and freeways.”
The proposed use includes indoor cultivation and manufacturing uses which should have no impact on nearby residential uses, but should also not be negatively impacted by freeway noise.

3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.

The proposed cannabis cultivation and manufacturing uses will occur indoors with adequate protections for potential nuisance issues such as odor or air quality so as to have little to no impact on surrounding uses. The retail component will enjoy the visibility and ease of access provided by its location in a commercial zone and may bring additional customer traffic to surrounding Cotati businesses.

4. The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of use being proposed, including access, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints.

The proposed use would be located within an existing retail complex and requires no new construction except for interior tenant improvements. Permits from the City and Rancho Adobe Fire Protection District are required prior to any construction and/or prior to initiating the proposed use. The building is supported by an existing street system, existing parking, and other necessary facilities and services.

11.b
Packet Pg. 173 Attachment: Resolution No. PC-2018-3 (Mercy Cannabis Consumption Lounge)

5. Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or materially injurious to persons, property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located.

The Rancho Adobe Fire Protection District and the City’s Police Department have reviewed the proposed use. Appropriate conditions of approval have been incorporated in the resolution to address concerns identified by these agencies and/or City ordinances and State codes. In addition, the applicant will be required to obtain approval/permits from the Building Division, the Fire District, and Sonoma County Department of Emergency Services (CUPA) prior to initiating the proposed use. With implementation of conditions of approval, the proposed use will not negatively impact the surrounding businesses or people working or living in the immediate area relative to noise, dust, odors, pollutants, hazardous materials or similar negative effects, and will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare of the City and its residents.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of Cotati hereby approves the Mercy Wellness Commercial Cannabis Microbusiness Use Permit based on the foregoing findings and subject to the applicable Conditions of Approval, attached as "Exhibit A."
