STAFF REPORT
Item No. 2
Meeting Date: May 2, 2023
Submitted to Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Department: Community Development Department
Staff Contact: Bill Chopyk, Interim Community Development Manager [email protected]
Item Title: Public Hearing to Consider Conditional Use Permit Application CUP-210-0001, a Request to Establish a Cannabis Dispensary Retail Store at 6691 Federal Boulevard in the Light Industrial Zone (APN-478-172-01-00)
Recommended Action:
1) Conduct the Public Hearing;
2) Receive Public Comment; and
3) Adopt a Resolution (Attachment A) finding the project is exempt from CEQA Pursuant to Section 15301 and conditionally approving Conditional Use Permit CUP-210-0001 to allow a Cannabis Dispensary (CD) Retail Store at 6691 Federal Boulevard, Lemon Grove, CA.

Summary: This is a request to establish a recreational and medical cannabis dispensary at 6691 Federal Boulevard in the Light Industrial (LI) Zone. The proposed project would utilize an existing 6,435 sq. ft. warehouse building and parking lot. The existing 1,373 sq. ft. mezzanine would be demolished and the remaining 5,080 sq. ft. would be used as a CD Retail Store. Site modifications include parking lot re-striping, a new trash enclosure, pedestrian access from the parking lot and existing right-of-way, miscellaneous site improvements such as lighting, fencing and security cameras, and right-of-way improvements. The existing landscaping would remain.

Discussion: The Cannabis Regulations in LGMC Chapter 17.32 allow CDs with an approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in commercial and industrial zoning districts. To be eligible, proposed CD sites must be separated by 1,000 feet from the regulated and protected uses described in LGMC Section 17.32.090(B), including other CDs, licensed daycare facilities, alcohol and substance abuse treatment centers, schools and parks.

CUP-210-0001
May 2, 2023
Page | 2
The proposed project site at 6691 Federal Boulevard is approximately 1,500 feet from the nearest operating, or conditionally permitted, or proposed regulated use at 6859 Federal Boulevard (Wellgreens cannabis dispensary). Staff found no evidence of any protected uses, including public parks, playgrounds, licensed day care facilities, schools and alcohol and substance abuse treatment centers as defined in the LGMC within 1,000 feet.

Background
On February 25, 2019 the Applicant, Element 7 Lemon Grove, LLC, submitted a Minor Use Permit (MUP) application (MUP-190-0002) for early separation findings, and the Development Services Director approved the MUP on May 19, 2019. On September 15, 2020, the Applicant again submitted a MUP application (MUP-200-0004) for early separation findings, and the Community Development Manager (CDM) approved the MUP on December 3, 2020. MUP-200-0004 expired on December 3, 2021. On January 11, 2021, the Applicant submitted a CUP application (CUP-210-0001) to operate a cannabis recreational and medical dispensary at 6691 Federal Boulevard. On April 5, 2023, CUP-210-0001 at 6691 Federal Boulevard was deemed complete.

Project Description
The proposed project would utilize an existing 6,435 sq. ft. warehouse building built in 1979, now vacant, formerly occupied by La Mesa Glass Co. The existing 1,373 sq. ft. mezzanine would be demolished and the remaining 5,080 sq. ft. would be used as a CD Cannabis Retail Store. The scope of the project includes interior and exterior remodeling of the existing structure. Site modifications include parking lot re-striping, a new trash enclosure, pedestrian access from the parking lot and existing right-of-way, miscellaneous site improvements such as lighting, fencing and security cameras, and right-of-way improvements. The existing landscaping would remain. A project rendering is provided (Attachment B), and project plans are provided (Attachment C).

The project site is a 0.67-acre (29,815 sq. ft.)lot located on the southwest corner of Federal Boulevard and Central Avenue with approximately 340 feet of frontage on Federal Boulevard and 100 feet of frontage on Central Avenue. Both street frontages are improved with curb and gutter, and no sidewalk. Two driveways provide access to two parking lots on each side of the building. The proposed project would install a new 5-foot wide sidewalk and new driveway aprons. An 8-foot wide parking lane and 5-foot wide bicycle lane would be striped to match the existing road configuration along Federal Boulevard.

The applicant proposes no changes to the existing landscaping. The five Jacaranda street trees on Federal Boulevard would remain and the existing trees on Central Avenue would remain.

Chollas Creek runs along the rear of the property separated by an existing 6-foot high chain link fence. The project is conditioned to provide an access easement or agreement CUP-210-0001

and appropriate open space easement to maintain and improve the tributary to Chollas Creek including weed abatement (removal of invasives), replanting and slope stabilization and irrigation.

The space within the 5,080 sq. ft. one-story building would be reconfigured with an eastern front entry into a lobby and another entry into the dispensary from the lobby.

There are two other separate entries on the west and south elevations for employees and deliveries. The floor plan shows 1,809 sq. ft. of retail area, 814 sq. ft. of office space and 2,457 sq. ft. of storage.

The existing exterior stucco walls would be painted kale green with redwood horizontal banding. The existing glazing on the western end of the building would remain. Two wall signs would be located on each frontage with a 42” x 42” (12.25 sq. ft.) sign area facing Central Avenue and a 24” x 96” (16 sq. ft.) sign area facing Federal Boulevard. Exterior wall lights and parking lot light poles are proposed for lighting the entire site, as shown on the photometric plan.

Land Use Analysis
The subject property has a Lemon Grove General Plan land use designation of Industrial and a zoning designation of Light Industrial (LI). According to the General Plan, the Industrial land use calls for a mixture of manufacturing, processing, warehousing and storage uses. Cannabis Dispensaries are permitted with a CUP in the LI zone, according to LGMC Section 17.32.090(A). No cultivation, manufacturing, processing, or delivery services are proposed with this CUP application.

Operations Manual
The application for a CUP for a cannabis dispensary shall include a detailed Operations Manual under LGMC Section 17.32.090 C. 6. The operations manual must include the following information:
a. Authorization for the city, its agents and employees, to seek verification of the information contained within the application;
b. A description of the staff screening process including appropriate background checks;
c. The hours and days of the week the dispensary will be open; d. Text and graphic materials showing the site, floor plan and facilities of the dispensary. The material shall also show adjacent structures and land use; e. A description of the security measures located on the premises, including, but not limited to, lighting, alarms, and automatic law enforcement notification; f. A description of the screening, registration and validation process for qualified patients;
g. A description of qualified patient records acquisition and retention procedures;
CUP-210-0001

h. The process for tracking cannabis quantities and inventory controls employed, including the source of cannabis (on-site cultivation, processing, or plant material, or processed products, received from outside sources); i. Procedures to ensure accurate record keeping, including protocols to ensure that quantities purchased do not suggest re-distribution; and j. Other information required by the manager of the community services department.

The Operations Manual (Attachment D) submitted by the Applicant contains all of the above information. The proposed hours of operation are 8AM-8PM seven days per week.

Development Standards
LGMC Section 17.16.100 (G) outlines basic standards, which are applicable to all land and structures in the LI Zone. The following table compares those standards to the site conditions at the subject address. The proposed project complies with all basic development standards.

Standard Required Proposed
Min. Lot Area 20,000 square feet 29,185 square feet
Min. Lot Width & Depth 100 feet 103 feet
Front Yard Setback 20 feet min. 24 feet
Side Yard Setback 10 feet/20 ft. street side 120 feet
Rear Yard Setback 15 feet 16 feet
Maximum Building Height 40 feet 20 feet
Landscaped Area 10% 59%
Parking 11 spaces 13 spaces
Compact Parking 75% 46%
Parking
The Lemon Grove parking requirement for retail/business, warehouse/storage and office is one parking space per 500 square feet of floor area (LGMC 17.24.010). Thus, eleven parking spaces is the minimum amount of parking required. The proposed project provides 13 parking spaces including two disabled spaces. This meets the minimum parking requirement for customers, employees and deliveries. In addition, on-street parking on Federal Boulevard could accommodate parking for about 15 vehicles. A secured loading space is provided at the rear of the site.

The layout of the two parking lots has been reconfigured to comply with the LGMC offstreet parking regulations. The parking area accommodates a 28 foot drive aisle and 9 foot by 19 foot parking stalls with wheel stops as required by the Space and Access Dimensions in LGMC Section 17.24.010(F) for parking dimensions. The site plan shows CUP-210-0001
May 2, 2023
Page | 5
six compact spaces (46% of total parking spaces). The plans call for a new bike rack located near the main entry to the dispensary.

Traffic
A traffic and parking analysis from Linscott Law & Greenspan dated 01/26/2023 shows that the proposed project would generate 410 Average Daily Trips (ADT) and would not significantly impact traffic. The Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis concludes a less than significant VMT impact due to project characteristics and would not require a detailed VMT analysis.

Street Improvements
Off-street parking regulations, specifically Section 17.24.010(H), also require the installation of city standard street improvements along abutting streets as part of all discretionary permit application. LGMC Chapter 12.10 requires street dedication and street improvements with building permits that exceed $25,000 in value. The Engineering Division has provided a list of preliminary conditions related to street improvements and are included in the City Council resolution conditions.

Loading
According to LGMC Section 17.24.020(B)(8), the CDM may determine loading requirements for unlisted uses, such as CDs, based upon the particular characteristics of the use. Deliveries from licensed cannabis distributors to the dispensary are not anticipated to occur in vehicles that require large, designated berths and therefore one is not provided. A condition of approval requires review of loading by the CDM prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Landscaping
The Lemon Grove Water Efficient Landscape Regulations in Chapter 18.44 of the LGMC require discretionary applications to provide a conceptual landscape plan that conforms to both the Zoning Ordinance and the aforementioned landscape regulations.

Landscaping requirements and the proposed landscape for the project are as follows:

Standard Required Provided
Min. 10% Landscape Area 10% (2,919 sq. ft.) 59% (17,132 sq. ft.) Min 25% Planted
Landscape
25% (4,283 sq. ft.) 100% (17,132 sq. ft.)
Required On-Site Trees 7 11 (existing)
Required Street Trees 18 21 (existing)

Screening
The cannabis regulations in Chapter 17.32 do not require on-site fencing. The project plans do not show any fencing on the Federal Boulevard frontage. The existing 6-foot chain link fencing along Chollas Creek would remain.

Two existing rooftop HVAC units would remain in their central location on the roof. The parapet wall provides some screening of the HVAC units. LGMC Section 17.24.050(E)(10) requires such units to be screened from the level of adjacent streets and walks while Section 17.24.040(C)(1) limits this screening, and any other rooftop appurtenance, to less than eight (8) feet in height. Screening of rooftop HVAC equipment is included as a condition in the city council resolution.

Trash
A trash refuse enclosure is proposed that is conditioned to meet current storm water requirements. Storm water review of the construction drawings, and inspections, ensure that the trash enclosure will have a permanent waterproof roof and be fully screened to prevent rainfall contact and wind dispersion of trash.

Lighting and Security
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles encourage all exterior areas to be adequately lit. Exterior and interior security lighting and security cameras are included in the operations manual and project plan set. Review of detailed security lighting plans will occur as part of the building permit for the project. In addition, LGMC Section 17.24.080 requires light fixtures to be maintained and adjusted to direct light away from adjacent streets and properties so as to prevent nuisance conditions.

Signage
Pursuant to sign ordinance Section 18.12.040(C), industrial uses are generally permitted up to three signs. The total allowable sign area permitted is 20% of the dispensary building wall facing Federal Boulevard, or approximately 500 sq. ft. The proposed signage consists of two wall signs totaling 28.25 sq. ft. A separate sign permit would be required at the time the signs are to be installed.

Conclusion:

The city council must make the following findings as stated in LGMC Section 17.28.050 in order to approve any conditional use permit application:

1. The use is compatible with the neighborhood or the community;

2. The use is not detrimental to the health, safety, convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity;

3. The use complies with performance standards according to Section 17.24.080;

4. The use is consistent with applicable provisions of the particular zoning district and with policies and standards of the general plan.

CUP-210-0001
May 2, 2023
Page | 7
Section 17.32.080 also requires the decision making authority consider:

5. Whether the approval of the proposed use will violate the minimum requirements set forth in chapter 17.32 for distance separations between establishments which dispense, process or cultivate cannabis; and separations between establishments which dispense, process or cultivate cannabis and other specific regulated or protected land uses as set forth in chapter 17.32; and

6. Whether the proposed use complies with Title 17 of the Lemon Grove Municipal Code.

Staff believes that the required findings can be made in the affirmative and that required considerations were duly considered provided the conditions in the city council resolution of approval are observed. The application materials as presented and the corresponding conditions incorporate and reflect input from all City divisions, including: Building, Engineering, Heartland Fire & Rescue, Planning, Sheriff’s Crime Prevention Unit, and DMax Engineering, the City’s stormwater consultant.

This CUP is valid for one year, and will expire one year after approval of the CUP, unless extended by the city council prior to the one-year expiration date.

Environmental Review:

Not subject to review Negative Declaration
Categorical Exemption, Sections 15301 Mitigated Negative Declaration The project as proposed is categorically exempt from the environmental review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 “Existing Facilities” of the CEQA Guidelines.

The Class 1, Section 15301 Existing Facilities exemption consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination. This CUP would allow the operation of a Cannabis Dispensary in an existing structure in an urbanized area and involves no expansion of existing floor area.

This request is lesser in scale than the examples of Class 1 exemptions in the CEQA Guidelines, including those for additions resulting in a 50% increase in floor area up, to a maximum of 2,500 square-feet, and demolition of multifamily residential structures up to six (6) dwelling units in urban areas.

The CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 exceptions to categorical exemption use do not apply to the project. The subject property is within a built-out urban environment thus limiting potential for cumulative effects from successive projects and avoiding impacts to CUP-210-0001
May 2, 2023
Page | 8
General Plan identified biological habitats or environmental resources of hazardous or critical concern. The project does not involve any other unusual circumstances that could potentially have a significant effect on the environment. The project site is not a hazardous waste site nor is it identified as such in any “Cortese List” including the DTSC EnviroStor database and State Water Resources Control Board GeoTracker tool. No impacts to scenic highways will occur as State Route 94 is not designated as, nor identified as eligible to be, a CalTrans scenic highway along city limits. Historic resources will not be impacted as the project site is not included in the San Diego County Historic Properties Data File nor the Lemon Grove Historical Society List of Historic Properties as referenced in the Lemon Grove General Plan Conservation and Recreation Element.

Fiscal Impact: No fiscal impact is associated with the approval of the CUP. Future sales of cannabis would generate additional sales tax and cannabis revenue to the City of Lemon Grove.

Public Notification: On April 21, 2023, the Notice of Public Hearing for this item was published in the East County Californian and was mailed to all property owners within 1,000 feet of the subject property. Staff verified the presence of the public notice sign required by LGMC Section 17.28.020(F)(2) on April 20, 2023. The City of Lemon Grove did not receive any comments in response to the Notice of Public Hearing at the time this staff report was written. Staff will provide the City Council with any comments received after publication of this staff report.

Staff Recommendation:
1) Conduct the public hearing;
2) Receive Public Comment; and
3) Adopt a Resolution finding the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 and conditionally approving CUP-210-0001 to allow a Cannabis Dispensary at 6691 Federal Boulevard, Lemon Grove, CA.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LEMON GROVE,

CALIFORNIA, FINDING THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA PURSUANT TO SECTION 15301 AND CONDITIONALLY APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP-210-0001, A REQUEST TO ALLOW A CANNABIS DISPENSARY AT 6691 FEDERAL BOULEVARD, LEMON GROVE, CALIFORNIA.

WHEREAS, the California voters approved Proposition 215 in 1996 to ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use cannabis for medical purposes and to encourage elected officials to implement a plan for the safe and affordable distribution of medicine; and
WHEREAS, in 2003, the California State Legislature adopted Senate Bill 420, the Medical Marijuana Program Act, to clarify and further implement Proposition 215 in part by authorizing patients and Primary caregivers to associate within the State of California in order to collectively or cooperatively cultivate cannabis for medical purposes; and
WHEREAS, in 2015, the California State Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 243, Assembly Bill 266, and Senate Bill 643, collectively known as the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, to establish a statewide regulatory framework and establish the Bureau of Medical Marijuana Regulation for the regulation of cannabis activity occurring in jurisdictions across California; and
WHEREAS, on November 8, 2016, voters in the City of Lemon Grove passed Measure V, an initiative removing the City's prohibition of medical marijuana dispensaries and establishing performance standards and a permit process by which cannabis dispensaries (CDs) may be established, which is codified as Chapter 17.32 in the Lemon Grove Municipal Code (LGMC); and
WHEREAS, LGMC Section 17.32.090(B) establishes the distance requirements between dispensaries (including CDs) as a regulated use and protected land uses, including public parks, playgrounds, licensed day care facilities, schools and alcohol and substance abuse treatment centers as defined in the LGMC; and WHEREAS, on January 11, 2021, Element 7 Lemon Grove LLC (Applicant) filed Conditional Use Permit application CUP-210-0001, a request stablish a CD Cannabis Attachment A

BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN
Budgets for Construction and Operations
Commencing Operations
Element 7 is in contract to lease the premises at 6691 Federal Blvd, Lemon Grove for an integrated dispensary. Element 7 will not sell, provide, store or distribute any alcoholic beverages or tobacco products, or allow these
products to be consumed at our facility.

The site has 15 off-street parking spaces with ADA-Compliant parking spaces and allows for Element 7 to achieve its vision, bringing jobs and economic development to the City of Lemon Grove. Site works are estimated at $250,000, which covers all exterior and interior site works, minor building works, facility fit-out, and equipment costs. All building works will be conducted in full compliance and accordance with the Lemon Grove Municipal Code, State Building Codes and all DCC directives and local policies. Element 7 believes that the site could be operational by December 2022.

Start-Up Funding
Element 7 has budgeted for capital works, starting inventory, and operating capital of up to USD$750,000 Million to start and launch Element 7 in Lemon Grove. This budget covers all site works ($250,000), fit-out costs, external works, design and project management, security measures, POS Systems implementation, and branding required to open and operate the facility through to positive cash flows. It also includes $150,000 of starting inventory and $300,000 of operating capital with a further $50,000 of contingency funds to cover over-runs on site works and additional working capital.
1 ELEMENT 7: BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN
Proof of Capitalization
Element 7 is financially backed in this venture by Industrial Court L11 LLC, a vertically integrated cannabis company and one of the largest cannabis tax-payers in the State of California. With operations in Desert Hot Springs and Cathedral City, Industrial Court L11 LLC is possibly California’s largest cannabis company.

Element 7 has attached a copy of its Proof of Funds Document (attached at rear of Statement of Qualifications) demonstrating ready access to up to $5.0M capital for the lease of real estate, full capital works and tenant improvements, inventory and working capital for the proposed operation, demonstrating excessive sufficient capital for this venture.

A full-time Certified Public Accountant (CPA) sits within the Element 7 team to manage financials across the business. In addition, a third-party auditor (Marcum LLP) is engaged to audit the business twice annually to ensure all investor, city, state and federal measures are being correctly managed and accounted for. We are confident, based on our existing footprint of cannabis dispensary operations, that our projections for fit-out, security compliance, and design works are accurate.

Five Year Pro-Forma
Element 7 can provide a detailed financials for the first 5 years of operations, upon request.

These financials would be built on assumptions based on population, existing purchasing habits, expected market share, tourism statistics, and a range of other costs built into our financial models. We expect our COGS to be averaged at or below 30-35%—achievable thanks to our Distribution (License# and manufacturing licenses in Firebaugh. The firstyear financials are based on the assumption that we will commence and launch operations in the first half of 2021, with a filter applied to the first 6 months of growth as we build and start to scale the business.

Ongoing Operations
Ongoing operations will be funded by business-generated free cash reserves which are conservatively expected to be around $150,000 per month in Year 2+ of operations.

Element 7 Rendering in the City of Willows
2 ELEMENT 7: BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN
We have a strong executive team with significant business experience across all facets of financial management, P&L control, debt and equity structures, and cost management.

Hours of Operation and Daily Procedures
Element 7 are applying for a retail storefront cannabis license (with delivery) for licensed sales (packaged cannabis goods and products).

Hours of Operation: Subject to approval from City Council, the business shall only operate only during the hours specified in the Conditional Certificate, Use Permit and/or CCBP issued by the City. The proposed operating hours shall be limited to the hours of 8:00 a.m. through 8:00 p.m., seven days a week.

Opening Procedures: The Manager will be accompanied by a security guard when unlocking and entering the business (a guard will be at the premises 24 hours a day).

Upon entering the building, the Manager will disarm the alarm and turn on all lights and check the phone for messages. Additional employees will be scheduled to arrive approximately 15 minutes after the Manager. Once the employees arrive, they will be responsible for completing their assigned tasks, such as reviewing inventory levels, checking overnight orders received, launch point-of-sale systems and assemble registers.

Mid-Day Procedures: Throughout the work-day, the manager may conduct the following tasks:

1. Assist employees with processing orders and ensuring that they are properly designated/assigned.

2. Update the track-and-trace system as necessary.

3. Receive shipments with the assistance of another employee.

Salespersons will be responsible providing excellent customer service and processing orders.

Closing Procedures: Upon the closure of business each day:
• The Manager will lock all doors.
• The Manager and Inventory Specialist will reconcile the track-and-trace system and cash.
• The Manager will ensure that all cannabis and cannabis products are securely stored.
• The facility be dusted, sweep, mopped, etc. as needed. • The Manager will ensure that all doors, safes, and vaults are locked and secured. • All surfaces will be cleaned and wiped. All equipment will be turned off (is necessary) and cleaned.
• All non-cannabis trash will be taken to the dumpster and sorted for recycling. • All non-security lights will be shut off.
3 ELEMENT 7: BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN
• The Manager will activate the alarm and lock and exit the building. • The Manager will be accompanied by a security guard when locking and exiting the retail store. The security guard will escort the General Manager to their car.

Day to Day Operational Procedures
Customer check-in procedures.

The Customer Intake Process begins when a new, or returning customer, enters the secure lobby area of the dispensary and provides their government issued identification to security at the Reception area. Using a handheld scanning device that has the ability to verify forms of government issued ID, identification is scanned, and information is transferred onto our system through FlowHub, our point-of-sale (POS) system.

The customer experience begins in the limited access Reception area where a Receptionist manages intake and check-in. A Security Officer will be stationed at the Reception Area to provide support, when needed.

Age verification shall be conducted before the customer permitted access to the retail area according to the following procedure:

1. Once the customer enters the entry doors, they will be greeted by an employee and/or security personnel. The customer’s valid identification card will be scanned in order to verify that the customer is 21 years of age or older.

2. If the customer is under the age of 21, but is at least 18 years of age, the employee will review the customer’s physician’s recommendation to ensure that the customer is a valid patient or primary caregiver.

3. In the case of a primary caregiver, valid written documentation containing the signature and the printed name of the medical patient designating the individual as a primary caregiver is required. We will implement two primary methods of verifying the validity of a customer’s doctor’s recommendation: (1) We will compile a list of reputable and compliant medical providers with a sample of a valid recommendation provided to us by the issuing provider. When a customer provides us with a doctor’s recommendation from our list of verified providers, our staff will review the recommendation to verify its validity; and (2) We will verify the doctor’s recommendations by contacting the issuing provider. Further, we will vet every new provider to ensure their credentials and legitimacy.

4. Once the customer’s age has been verified, the customer will be permitted to enter the retail area.

Receiving Cannabis Product Shipments
During business hours, shipments of cannabis goods shall not enter the premises through an entrance or exit that is available for use by the public. Element 7 proposes to make the necessary modification to create access to the facility for the loading and unloading of deliveries at the back of the facility. Security guards will be notified of any and all deliveries and are required to present during any loading or unloading to oversee the secure transportation of the delivery into the facility. The loading/unloading area will be considered a limited-access area and will be under constant video surveillance and properly illuminated at all times. This secured loading and unloading area allows for the safe and secure delivery of goods without any disruption to our retail operations.

Prior to arriving at the facility, the distribution employee delivering shipments will contact the Element 7 Manager to inform them when they are 5 minutes away from arriving at the 4 ELEMENT 7: BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN
facility. Upon receiving the 5-minute notification, security guards will conduct a security sweep. This includes inspecting the perimeter of the facility, as well as the secure loading and unloading area. Upon clearance, the secure loading/unloading area will be prepped to receive the shipment.

Before accepting any deliveries, we will request that the delivering employee provide us with a copy of the company’s business license and shipping manifest as a measure to verify that we are permitting an authorized shipment onto our premises. Simultaneously, we will request to view the employee’s identification badge, a copy of which will already be on file for verification purposes.

Upon receipt of a shipment, an employee shall verify that all products have not exceeded their expiration or sell-by date. If any products have exceeded their expiration or sell-by date, employee shall notify management and the delivering employee. We shall not accept any products that have exceeded their expiration or sell-by date. We will return the expired goods and request that the expired goods be exchanged for sellable goods.

If it is discovered that any product that was purchased is defective, we may return the product in exchange for a non-defective version of the same product, for product of equal value, or for a refund (if payment for the shipment has already been paid).

Additionally, we will not accept cannabis goods unless they are appropriately packaged and labeled as they will be sold at final sale. (Note: We shall not package or label cannabis goods.) All items will be inspected to ensure that they are compliantly packaged and labeled. A packaging, labeling and documentation “cheat-sheet” (composed of relevant regulations and company policies) will be readily available and used to inspect every shipment to ensure that we are accepting a compliant shipment and being provided the required/requested documentation.

Upon receipt of cannabis goods, we will ensure that the cannabis goods received are as described in the shipping manifest and shall record acceptance and acknowledgment of the cannabis goods in the track and trace system. If there are any discrepancies between the type or quantity specified in the shipping manifest and the type or quantity received, we will record and document the discrepancy in the track and trace system and any relevant business record and notify the distribution company immediately. We will not accept any cannabis goods that are not included on the shipping manifest. The Inventory Manager (IM) will ensure that all records related to the acquisition of cannabis and cannabis-infused products will include the following information:
• Strain Type
• Quantity
• Variety
• Batch Number
• Name and Registry Identification Number of the licensed operator supplying the shipment of cannabis and/or cannabis-infused products
• Name and Registry Identification Number of the licensed operator delivering the shipment of cannabis and/or cannabis-infused products
• Name and Registry Identification Number of the Dispensary Agent receiving the shipment of cannabis and/or cannabis-infused products
• Date of Acquisition of cannabis and/or cannabis-infused products Please note that if we are not permitted to modify the facility to permit deliveries to be routed through the rear/side entrance to the building, we will ensure that deliveries are made before normal business hours through the main facility entrance. All doors will be 5 ELEMENT 7: BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN
locked and kept secure while the delivery is verified by counting, examining and verifying all products and ensuring they are accurately recorded on the transportation manifest, invoice, or other shipping documents.

Number of Point-of-Sales location and estimated number of customers to be served per hour/day.

Initially, we plan to install three (3) point-of-sale systems to be located at a check-out counter, where customers transaction will be completed by a member of our staff.

With a potential customer base of approximately 20,000 cannabis consumers living with 10-miles of the Dispensary, Element 7 knows it would see approximately 400 customers a day (40-50 customers per hour). With a 50% load factor applied to this (for customer comfort), we would have a maximum desired occupancy of 24 customers at any one time. With an average customer visit time of 10 minutes, the store could handle a maximum of 150 customers an hour. With an estimate of 400 customers a day, and operations from 8am to 8pm, we do not forecast any significant issues with customer flow within the store.

Proposed product line and estimate the percentage of sales of flower and manufactured products.

Once inside the Dispensary, a range of shopping options from quick-serve grab-and-go, through to customized shopping guidance will be available. A range of products includes flower, concentrates, edibles, topicals and lotions, tinctures, pre-rolls, and accessories (a wide range of topicals will be sold for elderly and retired locals).

In compliance with state regulations and industry best practices, our product offerings will only be sourced from licensed and compliant distributors. Our product mix represents cannabis products that are commonly purchased at retail dispensaries.

Based on data from our out-of-state operations, cannabis products that are popular among consumers are:
- Concentrates: 12%
- Edibles: 5%
- Flower: 45%
- Pre-rolls: 24%
- Vape pens: 14%
Element 7 will stock a range of Element 7 branded products, and leading brands across California. As a cannabis retailer, at no time will any tobacco products or alcoholic beverages be stored, sold or consumed at our facility. 6 ELEMENT 7: BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN
Product Handling Procedures
Cannabis goods for inspection and sale shall only be displayed in the retail area. Cannabis goods may be removed from their packaging and placed in containers to allow for customer inspection. The containers shall not be readily accessible to customers without assistance of retail employee. A container must be provided to the customer by an employee, who shall remain with the customer at all times that the container is being inspected by the customer. Cannabis goods removed from their packaging for display or inspection shall not be sold, shall not be consumed, and shall be destroyed when the cannabis goods are no longer used for display.

Product Safety Best Practices
Regular Auditing – Performing regular inventory audits includes physical inspections of products in inventory to ensure that their expiration/sell-by date have not been exceeded and to ensure that all movements of the products are accurately reflected by our trackand-trace system.

First-In-First-Out Product Movement System (FIFO) – We utilize a First-in, First-out product management system that ensures all products sold at our facilities have not exceeded their expiration, best-by, or use-by date/s. This system ensures that our oldest stock is sold first. This system is important especially where it concerns perishable products, such as edibles and beverages.

Product Storage
Cannabis and cannabis-infused products will be stored within the secure, restricted access Product Storage area within the facility. The Product Storage area consists of four (4) storage containment partitions: ambient storage, cold storage, storage vault and quarantine area- these 4 areas lie witihin our Storage Area - they are not separate areas within the facility. Access to this area will be controlled and limited to owners and authorized inventory management team members, whose job tasks and duties specifically require access to cannabis and cannabis-infused products.

Types of Product Storage:

1. Ambient storage is climate controlled specifically for cannabis and cannabis-infused products, such as concentrates, tinctures, balms, gummies, candy, flower and prerolls.

2. Cold Storage is also climate controlled at lower temperatures and is specific to edible medical cannabis-infused products, such as brownies, cookies, chocolates and cannabis-infused beverages.

3. The Storage Vault is where all currency generated from in-store and delivery sales will be kept until it is securely moved to another secure off-site location or financial institution. The storage vault complies with the DEA’s security requirements for Schedule I Controlled Substances. The Storage Vault will have at least eight inches of reinforced concrete and 18-gauge structural studs made of galvanized sheet metal meeting requirements of ASTM A1003; 9-gague, Type II, Class 1 carbon steel security mesh and attachment clips meeting ASTM F1267 on either side of the studs; and an interior covered by 49 UL and ULC Classified, Type X (per ASTM C1658), impactresistant, moisture-resistant, non-combustible gypsum board tested to ASTM E136. 7 ELEMENT 7: BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN

4. The Quarantine Area is where cannabis and cannabis-infused products that have been returned, have been tampered with, expired and/or recalled will be stored prior to being destroyed.

Providing segregated, secure storage for specific types of cannabis and cannabis-infused products will protect the products against degradation, adulteration and spoilage.

Controlling the storage environment is consistent with industry best practices and protects the integrity and quality of the cannabis and cannabis-infused products. In order to maintain the security of the Product Storage area, the area will be installed with a comprehensive Electronic Access Control system (i.e. Biometric, RFID, Smartcard). Other security measures deployed to ensure the security of the Product Storage area include security surveillance cameras at the exterior and interior of the area, motion detection sensors, electronic access monitoring and motion detection lighting.

Delivery service procedures, number of vehicles and product security during transportation.

Anticipated Number of Vehicles
Initially, Element 7 anticipates to have two (2) delivery vehicles. Element 7 is conscious of its greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from any vehicles used in day-to-day operations.

Our preferred vehicle models are hybrid vehicles as we need the ability, for safety and security purposes, to operate a vehicle that runs on both electric and fuel options (i.e., in the event of an empty battery, the vehicle will also have fuel). Our preferred choice is the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Vehicle as it returns an impressive 58 miles per gallon in combined city/highway driving. Further, the vehicle is built with eco-friendly materials, user-friendly technology, and delivers great handling capability. It comes with plenty of cargo space, which allows us to install lockboxes to store cannabis products during transportation.

Product Security During Transport
Element 7 will strictly adhere to all rules, requirements and regulations regarding transportation of cannabis within the State of California. No deviation from those rules will be tolerated or allowed. The Head of Security will implement additional measures beyond the minimum requirements.

Element 7’s delivery process begins when the delivery employee leaves the facility with the cannabis goods for delivery. The delivery process ends when the delivery employee returns to the facility after delivering the cannabis goods, or attempting to deliver the cannabis goods to the patient or customer (s). At no time will an Element 7 delivery employee engage in any activities except for cannabis goods delivery and necessary rest, fuel, or vehicle repair stops.

Vehicles used for delivery will not have any marking or other indications on the exterior of the vehicle that may indicate that the delivery employee is carrying cannabis goods for delivery. In the event that an employee leaves the vehicle unattended, he/she will ensure that the vehicle is locked and equipped with an active vehicle alarm system.

The order fulfilment boxes containing cannabis to be delivered to patients and customers will be verified, recorded and sealed. Once sealed they will be loaded into the lock boxes in the delivery vehicle. No order fulfillment boxes, lockboxes, or cannabis goods will be visible to the public. Cannabis goods will be locked in a fully enclosed box, container, or cage that is secured to the inside of the vehicle. No portion of the enclosed box, container, or cage shall be comprised of any part of the body of the vehicle or trailer. 8 ELEMENT 7: BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN
Global Positioning System (GPS)
All Element 7 vehicles will be outfitted with a dedicated Global Positioning System (GPS) device for identifying the geographic location of the delivery vehicle and recording a history of all locations traveled to by the delivery employee while engaged in delivery. The GPS device will be owned by Element 7 and used for delivery only. The device will be either permanently or temporarily affixed to the delivery vehicle and will remain active and inside of the delivery vehicle at all times during delivery. At all times, Element 7 will be able to identify the geographic location of all delivery vehicles that are making deliveries, and document the history of all locations traveled to and by a delivery employee while engaged in delivery.

Cash Handling Procedures
Element 7 is currently undergoing compliance auditing with a FDIC Regulated Bank to become the bank’s 3rd client to bank cash funds from dispensary operations with this bank. Element 7 expects this process to be completed in April 2020, with cash remittances to then be allowed thereafter. A checking account would be linked to this savings account allowing Element 7 to bank cash and write checks. Less than 1% of California’s cannabis industry has legal and allowed access to banks. Internal Company policy has defined register cash limits. Cash limits identify when cash in registers need to be removed and place in the Secure Vault installed within the Main Office. Register cash limits are set at $1,500.00. Once a register reaches $1,500.00, transactions will not be processed, and the General or Assistant Manager will need to perform a Cash Drop. Cash Drops will be managed through FlowHub’s system.

A BudTender will place a call to the General or Assistant Manager to request for a Cash Drop. The Manager will approach the register with a money bag and remove the cash.

The cash drop action will be processed through the register and will require the PIN of the manager in order to be performed. Once the process is completed through the register, the cash is placed in the money bag and the till is closed, the Manager will be escorted to the Main Office by security. The Manager will perform a cash count before placing the cash in the money bag into the vault for safekeeping until a Pick-up with the contracted armored car agency is scheduled.

Inventory Control Procedures
Inventory Management and Record Keeping Plans
Typical causes for inventory discrepancies are generally attributed to human error, such as misplacing items, double scanning items at checkout, scanning the wrong version, or flavor of an item, at checkout, failing to account for spoiled, expired or dropped products, and improperly processing returns. These scenarios are easily prevented by establishing robust policies and procedures surrounding inventory handling and management through our point-of-sale (POS) system, FlowHub.

Point-of-Sale System & Track-and-Trace Software: FlowHub – Our Company’s preferred point-of-sale system (POS) is FlowHub, which we utilize across all our licensed dispensaries in California. FlowHub is a point-of-sale system that hosts and maintains the servers, databases and code that constitutes the point-of-sale system. 9 ELEMENT 7: BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN
The system is customizable and compliant with local and state laws and regulations and is currently working towards obtaining their API integration key with METRC. The POS is custom-built and provides intuitive, reliable and scalable solutions for cannabis dispensaries.

FlowHub has streamlined data entry, inventory management and reporting by developing Stash, a mobile inventory management application that requires the use of a handheld scanning device that easily identifies, records and manages inventory. With Stash, performing manual reconciliations that involve counting items in every single package in product storage, or various rooms within a facility, is no longer a requirement, and reduces errors when performing reconciliations and reporting. In a highly regulated industry that depends on accurate reporting, being able to utilize state-of-the-art technology that can push/pull data, in real time, towards the State’s mandated track and trace system is a powerful tool that ensures compliance and success.

Records pertaining to customer transactions, denials of sale, inventory acquisitions, management, movement, cannabis waste disposal, incident reports and corrective actions can be migrated from electronic devices that are used to perform functions through the POS onto our secure and encrypted cloud-based data system via file migration, which is facilitated by our data system.

Maintaining the Chain-Of-Custody (COC) through Effective Inventory Management Existing COC policies and procedures comply with State regulations and requirements.

These policies include:
• Data and inventory management
• Recordkeeping and Reporting
• Customer transactions
• Preparing products for exit packaging
• Returns, exchanges and recalls
• Accepting and inspecting shipments
• Product handling
• Cleaning & sanitation procedures for product storage & cannabis waste storage • Conducting daily inventory reconciliations and generating reports • Inspections and audits
• Proper use and management of FlowHub, Stash, METRC and Tresorit Policies for product handling cover how cannabis and cannabis-infused products will be securely moved throughout the facility to prevent diversion, theft, and loss. Record and Data policies also support the COC by preventing unauthorized intrusions that could lead to the mismanagement, use and alteration of critical personal and Company data and information. Inventory Management and Recordkeeping COC protocols require the use 10 ELEMENT 7: BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS PLAN
of dual-factor authentication across all departmental actions through the POS. This means that owners, managers and employees will be required to personally authenticate actions before they can be executed in the POS.

Accountability throughout our Company, and across all tasks, is the foundation of a consistently compliant operation that diligently upholds the COC and the regulated cannabis market. Element 7 aims to be the most legal, licensed, controlled, compliant, tested and trusted cannabis company that the City of Lemon Grove could partner with for a retail cannabis dispensary.

We are California focused and ready to begin operations in Lemon Grove within months of a permit and license being approved and issued.

DISPENSARY OPERATING PLAN
Introduction
Element 7 is holistic wellness. Cannabis consumers are looking for a more holistic healing, health, and wellness brand that focuses on the body, mind, soul, and spirit.

The Element 7 brand aims to provide quality at an affordable price, allowing customers an immersive retail experience in a secure, relaxed, enjoyable and aesthetically pleasing environment.

Our BudTenders and BudMasters are among the highest trained and most skilled in the industry. Staff will undergo at least 80-hours of classroom based training before working within our retail outlet - that's five times the industry average (BDS Analytics reports that most retail staff in the industry receive up to 16 hours of training). Our BudMasters have over 200 hours of classroom based training behind them, and hundreds more working on our retail floor.
13 Floor Plan
As we design the build-out and floor plans for our retail outlets, we work towards a standardized layout so that security operations, retail experiences, learning initiatives, and customer flow can be seamlessly integrated into one space.

An example of a typical floor plan is attached below. Specific plans for the site and dispensary are attached within the relevant section of this submission.

The Floor Plan below demonstrates our thinking, securing inventory in one secured area with limited staff access that serves both the retail storefront and non-storefront (delivery) business, a secured vault in the office space with no immediate external walls, ADA-compliant restrooms, separate entrances for staff and customers. 14 Dispensary Operations
All customers must present valid identification card or a valid Medical Marijuana Identification Card (LGMC 17.32.050) to enter the Facility and must 18 years of age and have a valid physician’s recommendation if they are a medical patient. Once inside, new customers will be required to register with the Facility and be offered the opportunity to join our Mailing List for further information and news. They will also be educated through the sign-up process on the potency and effects of cannabis.

Once inside the Dispensary, a range of shopping options from quick-serve grab-andgo, through to customized shopping guidance will be available. A range of products including flower, oils, edibles, topicals and lotions, and other products, all from StateLicensed Distributors will be available. We would look to price and push locally manufactured products over those from other Cities / Operators as this is good for business and good for the City from a tax perspective.

Patients will be able to order in-store or through our APP or Responsive Website (which adapts itself to the customer viewing environment – phone, tablet or desktop computer) – first time users will be ID verified and then required to run through a 3- screen educational component educating them on cannabis potency, absorption and effects. They will then have the option of selecting a range of cannabis products and being able to use our ‘pick-and-go’ service at the Retail Outlet which streamlines the purchase journey with the retail outlet.

Training
Staff training sits at the heart of our business. Having an effective staff training program in place is critical for several reasons. Firstly, cannabis consumers look to in-store staff for purchase decisions more than any media channel, form of advertising or any industry news. Secondly, having an effective staff training program in place is critical 15 for compliant and legal operations. Finally, staff training is critical to personal development, hiring and retaining our best talent. Element 7 have secured Chloe Villano as a Strategic Advisor. Chloe is the President and Founder of Clover Leaf University, the first cannabis learning institute and academy in North America to receive University Accreditation from a Department of Higher Education’s Private Occupational School Board. Clover Leaf University is the nation’s first state-licensed Cannabis University and offers more than 25 stand-alone course certifications. Element 7 are in the preliminary stages of partnering with Chloe to bring Clover Leaf University to California in late 2019.

The Storefront (with Delivery) aspect of the business will be managed by a dedicated Head of Retail within Element 7 Lemon Grove, reporting to the General Manager of the local business.

The business management will be governed by a series of Standard Operating Procedures developed and implemented by Element 7, including:
- Labor & Employment Overview - Employee Processes
- Employee Training - Non-discrimination
- Labor Peace Agreement
*For purposes of this submission, we have emphasized our Employee Training Standard Operating Procedures.

Supply of these documents will be reviewed for content and accuracy annually. The documents will include emergency contact information. All staff will have detailed knowledge and comprehension of the Standard Operating Procedures.

Management Model
Element 7's operations plan is rooted in compliance and customer satisfaction. Led by the Dispensary Manager, using industry best practices, day to day operations will divide the dispensary’s workforce according to different operational tasks, including reception and customer management, patient consultation, retail management, security, facility management, merchandising and inventory tracking.

Day to day operations will be overseen by Robert DiVito, as General Manager for the Facility, and a Head of Retail / Dispensary Manager that will be sourced from the local community and ideally has previous cannabis retail experience and other adjacent retail experience in the liquor, pharmaceutical, hospitality, or other regulated industries.

Dispensary Management
● A Dispensary Manager and Dispensary Assistant Manager will oversee sales, inventory tracking, ordering, and all other day-to-day operations within the dispensary. The Dispensary Assistant Manager will set up daily specials and create bundle packages. Dispensary Assistant Managers will act as a second level of expertise for customers beyond Dispensary Technicians. When a Dispensary Technician is unable to answer a specific health and wellness question, application of cannabis, or company procedure, they will alert the Dispensary Assistant Manager for help.
● Dispensary Assistant Managers will have access to inventory controls to enable them to reconcile inventory levels, fix user-errors in the point of sale system, and purchase order bulk product into business management platforms. Dispensary Assistant Managers will respond to inquiries sent to Element 7’s general information email address, oversee customer membership rewards / discounts, and reach out to vendors for purchasing wholesale flower and infused products. ● The Dispensary Assistant Manager will keep records for active inventory and back stock and report discrepancies to the Dispensary Manager. At the end of each business day, the Dispensary Assistant Manager will review the inventory reconciliation log prepared by the Dispensary Technician. The Dispensary Assistant Manager will then investigate discrepancies in physical and digital inventory levels. To ensure accuracy of records, the Flowhub platform will be reviewed on a daily basis by Element 7' Compliance department. ● The Dispensary Manager will be an expert in cannabis, its application for qualifying conditions, sales strategies, and customer service. The Dispensary Manager will oversee the daily operation of the dispensary. The Dispensary Manager will review all inventory reports and serve as the contact point for city officials, law enforcement officers, and state regulators. The Dispensary Manager will review daily inventory reports and any flagged items with irreconcilable discrepancies.
● As a best practice, the Dispensary Manager will report discrepancies in inventory to the City Chief of Police along with a description of the incident, probable causes, and with an explanation that the event did not occur 19 because of unlawful diversion (Lemon Grove Municipal Ordinance). Conversely, the Dispensary Manager will also handle reporting thefts and suspicious behavior to the City Chief of Police. The Dispensary Manager will schedule inspections, building maintenance, and work in coordination with the Facilities Manager, Heads of Security and Compliance, to ensure the dispensary is in good operational condition.
● The Dispensary Manager will hire employees to staff the dispensary and keep 90-day performance reviews for all employees. The Dispensary Manager will train employees on operations best practices and all company policies. As a resource for all dispensary employees, the Dispensary Manager will schedule employee work shifts and relay pertinent employment matters to the HR Director.
● The Dispensary Manager will manage daily finance operations within the dispensary and they will have exclusive access to the depository safe. As part of opening duties, the Dispensary Manager will count cash and other applicable payment receipts compiled from the previous day’s operation. The Dispensary Manager will coordinate cash management services, including scheduling deposit pick-ups from a cash services company.
● As part of that process, Dispensary Managers will keep a manual deposit log.

When the cash service provider enters the facility, the Dispensary Manager will prompt the representative to sign the log to verify the total deposit amount. The Dispensary Manager will keep money to be deposited in tamper-evident envelopes, then place the envelopes in puncture-proof, lockable bank bags. As an added precaution, only Dispensary Managers will transfer money to cash service providers. The Dispensary Manager will report deposits to Element 7’s financial manager, who will integrate data into sales performance reports and budget forecasts.
● As a best practice, the Dispensary Manager, financial manager and head of operations will remain in constant contact to ensure the financial sustainability of dispensary operations.
20 BudTenders
● Element 7 will prepare dispensary staff to accommodate all cannabis customers. Element 7 is a full-service store, where customers could conveniently access professional, attentive BudTenders and superior-quality cannabis.

BudTenders will have knowledge of strains, infused products, and services that may help customers treat qualifying conditions. In addition to providing face-toface consultations, BudTenders will navigate electronic data systems and manual logs to ensure all inventory is traceable and accounted for at all times. ● BudTenders will greet each customer by their preferred name, in a kind, inviting voice and with a pleasant attitude. After a friendly greeting, BudTenders will invite customers to express what brought them in for their visit. Some customers will eagerly express their motivation: the symptoms they experience, what products work, the potency they require, and at a specified price. Others will be more hesitant to reveal their condition, their experience (or lack thereof) with cannabis, or what they can expect to pay for cannabis products. Some customers may appear in good health, while others may clearly be suffering. As a best practice, BudTenders will quickly identify the appropriate tone of conversation for each customer. They will accomplish this by first asking customers, “Is this your first time in?” If so, the technician will recite a brief introduction to the company.
● Element 7 will be education-driven, and BudTenders will have a wealth of medical research, handouts, blogs, and publications on hand to best inform customers of the benefits and risks of cannabis. Technicians will answer all inquiries to the best of their ability, and when questions are outside their scope of knowledge, they will approach a manager to best accommodate the customer’s request.
21 ● BudTenders will keep active inventory away from back stock and organize active inventory in a way that is accessible and easy to navigate. Each BudTender will have a personal workspace that will include: a cash register and computer. When a customer selects a product, the BudTenders will write the order down. Then, the technician will search the inventory database for the requested product. The inventory tracking system will show the location of the product (active inventory or back stock). The BudTender will excuse himself or herself from the conversation to find the product. Upon returning with the product, the BudTender will ask the customer if they have any questions relating to applying or consuming it. To prevent diversion, the BudTender will place products out of the reach of customers while retrieving more products. ● When the BudTender completely fulfils the order, they will prompt the customer for payment. After payment is processed, the BudTender will offer a receipt.

Then, before saying goodbye to the customer, BudTenders will invite customers to write a review of their experience on various social media accounts and mapping websites.
● BudTender opening duties will include preparing dispensing workspaces, turning on all computers, lights, and digital scales, setting up display shelves, ensuring adequate supply of active inventory, creating digital menus, and familiarizing with daily specials. At the end of each business day, BudTenders closing duties will include: closing cash registers, dropping deposits into the depository safe, reporting total sales to the Dispensary Assistant Manager, placing product in the storage vault, cleaning the service room and other limited access areas, logging out of business management platforms, counting merchandise, and turning off applicable electronics.
22 Receptionist
● The Receptionist is the first point of contact that customers and customers will have with Element 7. The Dispensary Receptionist will have a thorough knowledge of California state laws and the Lemon Grove Municipal Code to best respond to all patient and customer inquiries. The Dispensary Receptionist will keep patient and customer identification data in a secure data management platform that will be stored in a secure off-site server. ● Element 7 will use industry best practices to best ensure Dispensary Receptionist job tasks are done in a compliant, timely, and effective manner. ● The Dispensary Receptionist will greet customers, caregivers, and visitors as they enter the dispensary, verify their identities, add customers and customers in the queue, grant customers and customers access to the retail sales outlet and manage the waiting room.
● As a liaison for customers and customers, the Dispensary Receptionist’s foremost job duty is communicating information about the company and its products to qualified customers and adult-use customers. Receptionists will have digital and physical menus around workspaces to quickly reference product availability and pricing information, and they will keep reception areas free of clutter. ● Receptionists will verify medical recommendations for customers are correct and up-to-date, and adult-use customers have a valid State ID. They will also share with each patient Element 7’s policy about patient and customer privacy and how to communicate to customers, caregivers and customers what information is shared with regulatory officials.
● Receptionists will convey this information in the form of patient and customer agreement forms, which the Receptionist will require each patient to sign before serving them. Patient agreement forms will include provisions that explain the consequences for falsifying medical or personal information. Patients and customers must agree to abide by all state and city regulations while on Element 7's premises.
● Patients and customers will only complete one agreement form and the Receptionist will log credentials into a secure digital network. Receptionists will encourage all customers and customers to include a phone number on their patient and customer agreement form to best reach them in case of emergency, or product recall.
● Receptionists will promptly enter contact information into business management platforms then file physical documents in a secure document storage area.

Receptionists will access secure filing cabinets and use them to store completed patient and customer agreement forms. Before filing, the Receptionist will check the patient and customer agreement form for complete information, thus ensuring every patient and customer is aware of company polices before being served. To protect privacy, Receptionists will logout of all management networks before leaving the reception area.
● Receptionists will not let individuals under the age of 21 into the dispensary, nor will they dispense medical cannabis from reception areas. 23 ● Receptionists will be proficient in data entry and word processing. When the dispensary has announcements on menu availability, changes in prices, or special events (e.g. holidays, road construction, or emergencies), Receptionists will prepare statements for release on social media and on printouts.

Receptionists will use spreadsheet software to log non-sensitive patient information, including contact information, product preferences, patient “goesby” names, membership status, birthdays (for deals), and text/email list preferences. To further protect privacy, Element 7 will position any Receptionist workspaces and computer screens to block passers-by from seeing information. ● Receptionists will assist with the daily cleaning of the dispensary. They will keep personal workspaces tidy and will maintain the waiting room and common areas (bathrooms and offices). Periodically throughout the day, Receptionists will prepare coffee and snacks for waiting customers, straighten furniture, disinfect surfaces, and remove waste/recycling from common areas. As part of end-of-day procedures, Receptionists will enter all outstanding patient data created throughout the business day into business management platforms.

Before leaving the facility, Receptionists will file all paperwork, log out of all digital communication networks, clean work areas, and turn off applicable electronics.
24 Employee Screening Process
Element 7 will manage Labor and Employment from multiple angles - a dedicated HR Specialist hired within Element 7 head office; the General Manager at the Facility, and a third party, HR Specialist consultant that will advise the business on aspects of employment law, HR principles and other labor related issues.

We know that in order to employ the best talent we must look beyond the resume and this is where our personalized and structured behavioural interviewing processes come into play. In previous businesses that we have operated and managed, we have developed a thorough interview and screening process using the most effective hiring practices and with the aid of our locally based employment agency we are confident in hiring the right person for the job, ensuring that our employees will greatly enhance the patient/customer experience and add tremendous value to Element 7. Prior cannabis, hospitality and retail experience is preferred, although not required.

We conduct extensive reference checks, considering the statistics, workplace violence, theft (an estimated 30 percent of business failures are related to employee theft), falsified resume applications etc. Criminal and background checks are an important part of our hiring process and all staff will require DOJ Background Checks and Live Scans.

Enhanced Retail Experience
The Facility will have full climate-control systems installed. Within the main retail area of the Facility, the front-entry doors will be motion-controlled, closing within 5-seconds of opening.
25 Ambient room temperature will be managed and maintained with ceiling-mounted air-conditioners that allow the temperature to remain at a steady temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature that studies (Engbrocks, Stephanie. The Impact of Temperature on a Consumer’s Shopping Experience, 2008), have found that consumers prefer while shopping in a retail outlet.

Ceiling-mounted air conditioners will also ensure that air circulates through the store so that the store doesn’t become stale or too humid on wet summer days.

The Applicant is cognizant of the fact that climate-control systems are important for the overall shopping experience of the customer.

Storage-areas will be fully climate controlled to ensure that product is stored at the optimal temperature for product safety and shelf-life management. 26 Customer Flow Management: Internal Space
In order for the Dispensary to be successful and build a loyal customer base, it is vital that we have a robust plan in place to acquire, retain, and reward customers, as well as managing customer flow and traffic within the store at peak times.

With a potential customer base of approximately 150,000 cannabis consumers living with 10-miles of the Dispensary. If 15% of these customers visited Element 7 Lemon Grove once a month, we would have 3,300 regular customers who we estimate would visit our Dispensary 1.7 times a month. That delivers approximately 200 customers a day.

Two key aspects we keep in mind when managing this daily customer base are:

● Implementing the optimal dispensary layout for revenue management and maximization, and

● Understanding customer flow to deliver the best customer experience.

Both of these points are essential in allowing us to keep a flow of customers moving through the dispensary, and avoid customers lingering outside the facility.

With our dispensary occupying 5,080 square feet (70% of this is dedicated to retail floor space), we would have a maximum occupancy of 35 customers at any one time (based on the California Building Code for Retail Sales Stores on Basement or Ground Levels at 30 square feet per customer). With a 50% load factor applied to this (for customer comfort), we would have a maximum desired occupancy of 35 customers at any one time.

27 Store Layout to Assist Customer Flow
Based on our experience with our other dispensaries, we monitor the number and patterns of customers at our various locations via closed-circuit television and analysing purchase data information via TouchBistro.

Our goal is to keep our customers excited about visiting our dispensary, and we will keep this excitement going by constantly introducing new products, strains, educational classes and exclusive merchandise. As such, promotions will be located in the dispensary’s high traffic areas, and high-profit products will be staggered in busy areas or the dispensary and high demand items will be in low traffic areas, such as at the back of our dispensary allowing us to draw customers all the way through the dispensary.

Element 7’s free-flowing layout will allow us to strategically group products, merchandise and other items throughout the store in a free-flowing pattern, allowing the customer to enjoy the space, while at the same time constantly noticing our placement of products.

Parking Management
Customer off-site parking will be minimized by developing on-site parking for up to 12 vehicles. In addition, the site has excellent proximity to public transport (buses and trains) and freeways.
28 Site Management Plan
The Standard Operating Procedures for the Management of the Premises include for the daily inspection of the outer area of the building for trash, graffiti and any other unsightly issues. Any dumped trash or litter will be collected and placed into Element 7’s dumpster for collection by the City Council, and any graffiti will immediately be removed by re-painting.

The responsibility of daily inspections will be assigned to the General Manager who will open the premises each day.

A selection of paints and paint brushes will be stored on site to rectify any issues. The interior of the building will also be inspected by the Head of Retail each day at the start of the shift to ensure the walls and floors are free from scuff marks, all lights are working, all door locks are in good working condition, all cameras are operational as required, and that all trash and litter is removed from the premises. Any maintenance issues will immediately be logged and reported to the General Manager.

Streetscape and Minors
The exterior architecture of the premises will be designed in such a way so that the premises first of all fit naturally within the broader streetscape of the neighborhood and has a minimum seventy-five percent (75%) transparency along the façade in accordance with the City of Lemon Grove Municipal Code.

We are absolutely mindful that minors and children live in the neighborhood and will responsibly ensure that we don’t have any visible cannabis branding or products that could be seen from the exterior of the building pursuant to the Lemon Grove Municipal Code.

Patient Records
Patient record keeping is an integral component in the cannabis space. Once a patient enters the dispensary, they are greeted by a receptionist who is responsible for gathering the patients information (i.e. Name, DOB, phone number) in addition to the patients medical card and/or physicians recommendation. If the patient has a hard copy of the physicians recommendation, an Element 7 employee will make a copy of the recommendation and upload the document to our secured intake platform. In accordance with HIPPA regulations patient records will not be accessible by employees without the proper designation.

Element 7 maintains patient records in a manner that allows the records to be produced for licensing authorities at the licensed premises in either hard copy or 40 electronic form. Records shall be maintained off-site, in electronic form on a secure SLL-encrypted server and secured and verified by the Head of Compliance for Element 7 as needed (consistent with requirements pertaining to patient confidentiality pursuant to applicable state and federal law).

All applicable planning, zoning, building, and other applicable permits from the relevant governmental agency which may be applicable to the zoning district in which such commercial cannabis business intends to establish and to operate will be obtained by Element 7 prior to any operations commencing.

Inventory Management/Recordkeeping Plan
The success of our operations in other regulated cannabis markets is due in part to the fact that we have developed efficient teams, policies and procedures that ensure compliance, an unbroken chain-of-custody (COC) and transparency. Where inventory and recordkeeping are concerned, we have assembled a team of individuals that oversee inventory management and recordkeeping. Having a dedicated team of individuals localizes actions and tasks related to inventory management and recordkeeping to a select group of employees, which minimizes the risk of diversion, redistribution of products, theft, loss, and other related criminal activity. The Inventory Manager heads this department and is tasked with ensuring that team members comply with our Element 7’s policies and procedures.

Protocols
Inventory Management Quality Control Standards
Policies and procedures are developed to maintain compliance with applicable state regulations and industry best practices as they pertain to inventory management and recordkeeping. It is imperative to deploy control and assessment measures for these policies and procedures to ensure that they maintain compliance and efficiency. Element 7’s quality control standards provide reasonable assurance that the policies and 43 procedures are sufficient in attaining the objectives of compliant and efficient inventory management and recordkeeping.

A system of quality control consists of policies designed to achieve the objectives of the system and the procedures necessary to implement and monitor compliance with those policies. The nature, extent, and formality of our quality control policies and procedures will depend on various factors such as: a properly functioning POS, effective departmental structuring, employee adherence to policies and procedures, successful and uninterrupted integration with BioTrack, effective troubleshooting, strict monitoring, and robust data storage, encryption, and security.

Elements of the Quality Control System
The elements that directly affect the quality control system include:

1. Leadership responsibilities for quality control within the Element 7

2. The Inventory Manager (IM) assumes responsibility for the implementation of policies and procedures by the Inventory Management Team.

3. Compliance with state regulations and industry best practices.

4. Policies and procedures have been assessed and deemed compliant with state regulations and generally accepted industry best practices.

5. Assessments, monitoring, and reporting.

6. The IM will conduct intermittent assessments and monitor the efficacy and efficiency of the policies and procedures as they have been written and create reports attesting to assessments that are made.

7. Training on regulations, SOPs and applicable skills.

8. Inventory Management Team Members (Team) will receive comprehensive training on applicable state regulations as they pertain to this department, as well as training on Element 7 operating policies and procedures and skills necessary to perform their jobs and assigned tasks.

9. Strict adherence to policies and procedures.

10. The IM and the Team will strictly adhere to the policies and procedures as they have been written and will not deviate from the policies and procedures unless extenuating circumstances require alternative actions that are more appropriate for the task at hand. Any deviations will be recorded, assessed and monitored to ensure that compliance and efficiency are not compromised.

11. Individual Performance Assessments.

12. Team members will be assessed at the discretion of the IM. Individual Performance Assessments will be used to determine if team members are meeting their Key Performance Indicators.

13. Incident management and corrective actions.

14. Policies and procedures are designed to provide order, efficiency and reduce risks related to tasks or objectives that a system has been designed to perform.

Although regulations and best practices do not often change, systems encounter unforeseen risks and require updates. In the event that policies and procedures fail to consistently comply with regulations and provide efficient solutions, incident reports will be examined and corrective actions will be taken to improve the flawed or inadequate policies and procedures.

15. Reporting.

16. Any assessments, corrective actions and revisions made to policies and procedures will be properly documented in a format designed by the Element

7. Revisions to policies and procedures will be added to existing policies and procedures with notations on the changes found in the Attachment to the SOPs.

17. Point-of-Sale System (POS).
44 Harnessing technology to provide an intuitive POS is mandatory. Continually working with our POS provider will allow us to develop our operating system to meet the needs of the industry, regulations and our operations. Data Storage, Encryption and Security standards will be met to provide for secure and encrypted data management, storage and access that safeguards the confidentiality, safe custody, integrity, accessibility, and retrievability of confidential and proprietary information.

Maintaining the Chain-Of-Custody (COC) through Effective Inventory Management Existing COC policies and procedures from will be revised to comply with State regulations and requirements. These policies include:
• Data and inventory management
• Recordkeeping and Reporting
• Customer transactions
• Preparing products for exit packaging
• Returns, exchanges and recalls
• Accepting and inspecting shipments
• Conducting daily inventory reconciliations and generating reports • Inspections and audits
• Proper use and management of FlowHub, Stash, BioTrack THC and Tresorit • Product handling
• Cleaning and sanitation procedures
Policies for product handling cover how cannabis and cannabis-infused products will be securely moved throughout the facility to prevent diversion, theft, and loss. Record and Data policies also support the COC by preventing unauthorized intrusions that could lead to the mismanagement, use and alteration of critical personal and Element 7 data and information. Inventory Management COC protocols require the use of dual-factor authentication across all departmental actions through the POS. This means that owners, managers, and employees will be required to personally authenticate actions before they can be executed in the POS. Accountability throughout our Element 7, and across all tasks, is the foundation of a consistently compliant operation that diligently upholds the COC and the regulated cannabis market.

Inventory Control Department
The success of our operations in other regulated cannabis markets is due in part to the fact that we have developed efficient teams, policies and procedures that ensure compliance, an unbroken chain-of-custody (COC) and transparency. Where inventory and recordkeeping are concerned, we have assembled a team of individuals that oversee inventory management and recordkeeping. Having a dedicated team of individuals localizes actions and tasks related to inventory management and recordkeeping to a select group of employees, which minimizes the risk of diversion, theft, loss and other related criminal activity. The Inventory Manager heads this department and is tasked with ensuring that team members comply with our Element 7’s policies and procedures.
45 Assigning an Agent-in-Charge
The Inventory Manager (IM) will act as the assigned Agent-in-Charge (AIG). As the AIG, he or she will be tasked with overseeing all aspects and responsibilities related to inventory management and recordkeeping. These responsibilities include:
• Establishing, managing, and maintaining the Element 7’s BioTrack THC (TTS) account.
• Monitoring updates on the TTS from our POS. Sales transactions, cannabis waste reports, inventory movement and updates should occur in real-time. • Ensure that opening and closing inventory management and recordkeeping policies and procedures, such as confirming and reporting starting and closing inventory, acquisitions, sales, and cannabis waste disposal are reflected on the TTS. The IM will also inspect and confirm whether data on the TTS reflects data on our POS and physical inventory.

Daily Inventory Reconciliations
The IM will conduct daily inventory reconciliations documenting and balancing cannabis and cannabis-infused product inventory. This is done by confirming that information on the TTS aligns with inventory reconciliations performed using Stash and physical inventory maintained and managed at the facility. Daily Inventory Reconciliations will be performed by the IM or an assigned Inventory Specialist, twice daily. One reconciliation will be performed before normal business hours as part of Opening Procedures, and then again after business hours, as part of Closing Procedures. Inventory Reconciliation reports will be pushed to the TTS and migrated onto our secure and encrypted cloud-based Data System.

Inventory Adjustments and Imbalances
Inventory management, even with FlowHub, can be susceptible to data errors due to system malfunctions, although it is highly unlikely. Generally, POS generated inventory reports that do not reflect the same data as the TTS, is due to review and confirmation errors. Theft and suspected criminal activity are also considered the most common reasons for imbalances.

Reporting Imbalances
Our policies and procedures clearly outline steps that the IM and the inventory management team members will take when imbalances due to human error, theft and criminal activity occur. The first step in the reporting process is to conduct a full audit of physical inventory in the facility. Once the reason for the imbalance is determined, the IM will document the results of the inventory audit, factors or incidents that caused an imbalance, and develop steps/tasks for corrective action. The goal of any corrective action plan is to balance out physical inventory, inventory reflected on the POS and the TTS, determine why the discrepancies occurred, and develop and improve existing procedures that prevent or reduce imbalances in the future.

In some cases, an audit and investigation does not determine a cause for the imbalance. If a reason for the imbalance in inventory is not identified within two (2) days of its discovery,the IM will immediately submit a written statement notifying the Atlantic City of the inventory imbalance. Upon notifying the Atlantic City, the IM will continue to work towards identifying risks and factors that contributed to the imbalance in inventory 46 until a definite cause for the imbalance is identified, a corrective action plan is implemented and policies are improved to prevent repeated inventory imbalances.

If the cause for inventory imbalance is due to theft or suspected criminal activity, the IM will immediately notify the Atlantic City in writing. An incident report will be prepared by the Head of Security, which will be submitted as supporting documentation with the Notification.

Inventory Imbalance reports, written notifications and inventory audit data will be maintained on our secure and encrypted cloud-based data system for at least two (2) years from the date the imbalance was reported.

Reporting and Requesting for Adjustments
In the event that inventory reconciliation reports do not demonstrate the same data as the TTS, the IM will need to perform an audit of the physical inventory in the facility, and run it against the sales and returns transactions, recall reports and cannabis waste reports generated by the POS. If it is found that a scanning error was the cause of the difference, then the IM will prepare a written report that will list the reason/s for the adjustment request.

Inventory Adjustment records will be maintained on the secure cloud-based data system for at least two (2) years from the date the adjustment was performed. 47 Summary
Element 7 isn't just a retail cannabis outlet. Our vision is to create an interactive learning hub that allows first-time users, new cannabis consumers, and connoisseurs with a welcoming experience where they can learn, engage, and shop within an inviting and open environment.

Analyzing the data and understanding that customers look to retail staff more than any other outlet or channel for product recommendations, we will ensure that our front-line BudTenders are the most trained staff in industry.

Our design, customer experience, staffing and overall holistic wellness positioning all work together to seamlessly ensure that Element 7 will deliver a retail experience like no other.

They will then have the option of selecting a range of cannabis products and being able to track Element 7 delivery business through the smartphone APP or Website in much the same way that UBER or LYFT operates.

Our partner, Beyond Marketing Group has significant UX and UI experience within their company and will manage all development of such platform.

Online Ordering System
Element 7’s online ordering system will allow its patients and primary caregivers to place orders from our website, tablets or mobile app. Element 7 has partnered with a premier e-Commerce delivery company to create all online and web application features (Ready Cart). This will allow the website and application to have an online menu and shopping portal that directly and seamlessly connects to our inventory management system in real time.

In addition to Ready Cart, Element 7 will utilize Baker Technologies software platform which will allow Element 7 to communicate directly with patients immediately after an online order is placed, inform patients of new products , educate patients via the smartphone app and create a Loyalty program that offers patients "points" for being loyal to Element 7.

The online ordering system will display all the products for sale at the business, their prices, and product descriptions. (see demo images below) 54 Technology Integration
We understand that as a licensed non-storefront retailer, we will not sell or otherwise transfer any cannabis goods to a customer through the use of an unlicensed third party, intermediary business, broker, or any other business or entity.

Element 7 will utilize Baker as a means to facilitate the sale and delivery of cannabis goods, in accordance with the following:

1. Element 7 will not allow for delivery of cannabis goods by the technology platform service provider.

2. Element 7 will not share in the profits of the sale of cannabis goods with the technology platform service provider, or otherwise provide for a percentage or portion of the cannabis goods sales to the technology platform service provider.

3. Element 7 will not advertise or market cannabis goods in conjunction with the technology platform service provider, outside of the technology platform, and will ensure that the technology platform service provider does not use Element 7' license number or legal business name on any advertisement or marketing that primarily promotes the services of the technology platform.

4. Element 7 will ensure the following information is provided to customers:
(i) Any cannabis goods advertised or offered for sale on or through the technology platform will disclose, Element 7' legal business name and license number.
(ii) Customers placing an order for cannabis goods through the technology platform will be able to easily identify Element 7 as the source of where the cannabis goods are being ordered or purchased from. This information will be available to the customer prior to the customer placing an order or purchasing the cannabis goods.
(iii) All required sales invoices and receipts, including any receipts provided to the customer, will disclose Element 7' legal business name and license number.
(iv) All other delivery, marketing, and advertising requirements will be complied with.

Ordering Procedures

1. Once a patients, primary caregiver or customer visits Element 7 online delivery portal, they will be asked if they are above the age of 21;

2. Patients, primary caregivers and customers can visit the Element 7 menu of products which will range from edibles to flower and other cannabis products;

3. After a selection has been made, selected items will be placed in a “Cart” and the patients and primary caregivers can then proceed to checkout; 55 4. Once an order has been processed and filled at the delivery facility, the patients and primary caregivers will receive an alert notification for an approximate delivery-time estimate; and

5. Element 7 Delivery employees will receive instant push notifications on all tablets and smartphones at the facility. Once a patient or primary caregiver has placed an order, it will be immediately filled by an employee, packaged and ready for delivery within a 15-minute time frame.

Online Ordering System (Educational Component)
The Element 7 online ordering system educational component will allow its patients and primary caregivers to learn about the potency, effects, THC and CBD content of cannabis or cannabis goods prior to purchasing, as well as providing patients and primary caregivers with the tools to incorporate a "Holistic Wellness" approach to their everyday lives.

In furthering Element 7' "Holistic Wellness” initiative to educate patients on the benefits of cannabis, Element 7 seeks to work with Tokr to create a customized app experience for Element 7 patients and customers. Tokr allows patients and customers to learn which cannabis-based products can be used in their everyday life, and eases the anxiety or nervousness associated with not knowing how cannabis and cannabis related products may be used daily.

Element 7’s cannabis and cannabis products breakdown will equip patients and primary caregivers with the knowledge and understanding of the benefits of a chosen cannabis strain or product. Having an educational component on Element 7 website informs patients and primary caregivers how each strain of cannabis might affect them which can go a long way towards utilizing the plant’s potential therapeutic benefits.

The website will provide thorough descriptions of each type of strain - Sativa, Indica, Hybrid and CBD.

In furthering Element 7’s commitment to inform and empower the Lemon Grove community on cannabis education, it is also worth mentioning that accurately estimating cannabinoid effects must be treated with some subjectivity. Each patient/customer has an individual reaction to each type of cannabis strain and experimentation with different types of strains is essential for new patients and customers to achieve desired results.

Element 7 suggests patients and primary caregivers keep a journal and record both body and head reactions to each strain, which will remove much of the guesswork from selecting the strains that work best for them. Our content management system will automatically send an email 12 hours after a patients and primary caregiver has made a purchase which requires that product feedback following a “first time” purchase of a given product, and prior to the patients and customers next purchase to ensure we are receiving as much feedback as possible. 56 FULFILLMENT PROCEDURES AND POLICIES
Transportation Vehicle Requirements
Element 7 will strictly adhere to all rules, requirements and regulations regarding transportation of cannabis within the state of California, as they are created and modified by City and State legislators. No deviation from those rules will be tolerated or allowed. The Head of Security will implement additional measures beyond the minimum requirements (i.e. transfer of currency for remitting City tax payments).

Element 7' delivery process begins when the delivery employee leaves the facility with the cannabis goods for delivery. The delivery process ends when the delivery employee returns to the facility after delivering the cannabis goods or attempting to deliver the cannabis goods to the patient or customer(s). At no time will an Element 7 delivery employee engage in any activities except for cannabis goods delivery and necessary rest, fuel, or vehicle repair stops. Element 7 will maintain an accurate list of all delivery employee’s information.

Any vehicle used in the delivery of cannabis goods will be operated by a delivery employee of Element 7. Vehicles used for delivery will not have any indications on the exterior of the vehicle that may indicate that the delivery employee is carrying cannabis goods for delivery. Only Element 7 employees will be in the delivery vehicle. In the event that an employee leaves the vehicle unattended, he/she will ensure that the vehicle is locked and equipped with an active vehicle alarm system.

All Element 7 vehicles will be outfitted with a dedicated Global Positioning System (GPS) device for identifying the geographic location of the delivery vehicle and recording a history of all locations traveled to by the delivery employee while engaged in delivery. The GPS device will be owned by Element 7 and used for delivery only. The device will be either permanently or temporarily affixed to the delivery vehicle and will remain active and inside of the delivery vehicle at all times during delivery. At all times, Element 7 will be able to identify the geographic location of all delivery vehicles that are making deliveries and document the history of all locations traveled to and by a delivery employee while engaged in delivery.

Delivery Inventory Ledger
• A LIVE delivery inventory ledgert will be created which tracks all cannabis goods provided by Element 7 to the delivery driver, orders, purchase and product deliveries;
• For each cannabis good, the delivery inventory ledger will include the following:
- Type of good, the brand, the retail value;
- The track and trace identifier, and the weight, volume or other accurate measure of the cannabis good.
• After each customer delivery, the delivery inventory ledger will be updated to reflect the current inventory in possession of Element 7' delivery driver. • No product will leave the Facility without being accompanied by an authorized driver of the Facility, together with transportation manifests to show the vehicle information, driver and accompanying personnel information, date 57 and time the delivery business vehicle leaves the facility, the amount of product that is being transported, a breakdown of the individual boxes that will be delivered to individual patients and customers, the route that the vehicle will take, and expected delivery business times for delivery business to each delivery business.

Order Fulfillment (Pre-Delivery)
• Orders will be taken by Element 7 through an SSL Encrypted Responsive Website, Smart-Phone APP and by phone. All Patients and customers will be checked to ensure they have the appropriate ID Card by uploading a photo of their government-issued identification.
• Received Orders will then be approved by the Shift Manager and queued for Packing. A Packer Employee will fulfil the order from stock in either the Ambient Storage Room or Cold Storage Room, where it will be packed in the Packing Room. It will then be queued for Dispatch.
• Packed Orders will be assigned to a Driver by the Dispatch Manager and moved to the Dispatch Room from the Packing Room. Cannabis will only be sold to an individual in an amount consistent with personal possession and use limits allowed by the State of California and enforced by Lemon Grove and Element 7.
• The order fulfilment boxes (plastic) containing cannabis to be delivered to patients and customers will be verified, recorded and sealed. Once sealed they will be loaded into the lock boxes in the delivery business vehicle from the Dispatch Room, employees will ensure that no cannabis goods are visible to the public. Cannabis goods will be locked in a fully enclosed box, container, or cage that is secured on the inside of the vehicle. . • Both the Inventory Control Specialist and the driver that will accompany the product will verify the number of boxes, the date and time of delivery business, the date and time that the delivery business vehicle leaves the Facility, and the addresses to which the product will be delivered.
• Element 7 will maintain a database and provide a list of the individuals and vehicles authorized to conduct vehicle dispensing, and a copy of the valid California driver’s license issued to the driver of any such vehicle on behalf of Element 7 to the Lemon Grove Chief of Police.
• Only after the dispatch employee has completed the check with checklist for delivery business will the vehicle then be driven out of the lock area, and immediately began its delivery business route.
• Individuals making deliveries of cannabis or cannabis products on behalf of Element 7 will maintain a physical copy of the delivery request (and/or invoice) and will make it available upon the request of agents or employees of the City of Lemon Grove requesting documentation.
58 • The total amount of cannabis carried in the vehicle will comply with State Law.

Order Fulfillment (Post-Delivery)
• Once the delivery business vehicle is in the locked and secured area designated for that purpose, the lockbox inside of the delivery business vehicle will be opened by delivery business personnel.
• The Inventory Control Specialist will perform a visual verification that the lockbox is in fact empty and contains no leftover cannabis products from a previous delivery business. If there is cannabis, it will be removed from the vehicle, identified, recorded and placed in the vault for either reshipment or in the case of a cancelled order, the box seal will be cut, the contents verified as being un-tampered with and then re-stocked into inventory and recorded as being re-stocked, including time, date, amount, package numbers, weights, employee performing the re-stocking and reason for the return of the product. Any product that has been tampered with will be accounted for and then destroyed in accordance with Element 7 procedures.
• Any cash payments received by the Driver will be logged, accounted for, signed and held in the cash register until the end of the shift or day, at which point it will be counted and locked in the Walk-In Vault.

• The Dispatch Team will plan route security after the time and destination are determined. Routes will be randomized, and times varied. Other consideration, in addition to randomization and time, for each route will be based upon:

1. Operational security (based on number of stop on route, crime by area, known previous routes etc.);

2. Traffic (time of day or road incident);

3. Known public events, i.e. parades, demonstrations, unusual activity using current information available from a variety of sources to include news releases, police and city offices, social media; and

4. Ongoing real-time incidents that would impede delivery business. ● If an Element 7 delivery driver does not have any delivery requests to be performed for a 30-minute period, the delivery driver will not make any additional deliveries and will return to the facility.

CONTROL AND COMPLIANCE
Carriage of Business License
All vehicles associated with the business will carry in the vehicle a copy of the valid, unexpired business license as well as a copy of Element 7' current non-storefront retailer's license in addition, Element 7 Vehicle’ will be registered with the City Police Department.

Summary
Element 7's Delivery business and operations are a critical focus point for our overall business strategy. While cannabis is a highly experimental and discovery-led category, we know that moving ahead, cannabis will more closely mimic existing shopping and buyer behavior practices of other consumer product verticals.

Having a robust business plan and set of policies in place will be critical to our expansion efforts in this vertical over the next 3-5 years as we seek to become one of the leading and largest cannabis delivery companies in California. 61 62

77 Our Company takes a comprehensive approach towards security. We deploy four approaches in our plans that prevents diversion, theft, and loss of cannabis products and currency, as well as deter other related criminal activity that could harm our employees, customers and negatively affect the surrounding communities. The four approaches we implement include mechanical, technological, physical, and educational.

Element 7 Approach to Effective and Dynamic Security
The first and most obvious approach that is deployed is the mechanical approach. This covers security surveillance equipment, lighting, non-commercial grade locks, fencing, and buzz-in door features. The technological approach includes all security measures involving technology, data and surveillance and alarm systems, such as electronic access systems, secure and permission-authorized POS system, after-hour security systems, panic, duress and hold-up alarms, web-based access to live security surveillance, cybersecurity measures that include Virtual Private Networks, Malware and Anti-Virus applications, data encryption and cloud-based storage, failure notification systems, back-up power systems, secure communications, motion and glass break detectors.

Technology is always supplemented by a dynamic human element which is covered in the physical approach. This means that our physical approach involves trained and licensed security officers, 24/7 alarm and security surveillance monitoring, roving inspections, bag inspections, Company-issued uniforms and personal item carriers, tiered- authorized access controls and Employee IDs. The fourth and final approach, which is Education-based, supports the physical approach by ensuring that employees, security officers, managers and owners are trained and educated in a manner that allows them to maintain the security and safety of the facility, the customers, surrounding communities and themselves.

Employees, security officers, managers and owners will receive comprehensive security training on how to manage hold-ups, burglaries, violence in the workplace, emergency situations such as fires, earthquakes and power outages, bomb threats, active shooters, FEMA training, OSHA training and how to create and report incidents to management.

Bringing the four approaches together to create a dynamic, versatile, and effective security plan also means engaging the services of trained, licensed and experienced professionals to provide the manpower, training, and continued guidance in the implementation and further development of our security plan. We will contract a locally licensed, private security provider who will provide trained and licensed security officers into our operations. We will also contract a local cybersecurity professional to monitor and manage our networks. Ensuring that our data and the confidentiality of our customers is one of our highest priorities. Our Company’s Chief of Security will manage the on-boarding and continued advancement training for our employees. This training will cover our security policies and procedures.

All mechanical aspects of our security plan will be sourced, installed, maintained and monitored by professional, licensed alarm companies. Our plan includes two (2) thirdparty alarm companies who will monitor alarm systems, in the event that connection is lost to our primary alarm monitoring provider. Live security surveillance feeds will be made accessible to State Police through a web-based application that will allow the State Police to perform reverse monitoring. Our Company’s goal to prevent diversion, theft and loss of 78 cannabis and currency, and deter other related criminal activity means open lines of communication with State authorities and transparency. We are committed to the safety of the community, our customers, and our employees and have made communication and transparency a core business practice across all our operations.

Maintaining Records and Reporting
Managing reports and maintaining accurate records is another area of transparency and communication that we dedicate resources, time and training to. We will maintain a comprehensive log covering all aspects of our security systems, surveillance and equipment, including equipment maintenance, repair and replacement, electronic access records of limited and restricted access areas, customer, contractor, visitor and employee information, surveillance records, alarm monitoring records, system failure records, roving security inspection observations, incident reports and other pertinent records related to the security of the facility and the systems, personnel and contracted professionals charged with implementing and maintaining security.

Community Liaison
As part of our security plan, we will also be assigning a Community Liaison, whose contact information will be posted in the facility’s reception area and on our website.

The Community Liaison will be available 24/7 to receive and respond to comments, suggestions, concerns and feedback from customers, the community, and local government.

1. Security Personnel and Staffing Plan
Element 7 will have at one licensed security personnel on-site during its hours of operation.

This will ensure and perpetuate safe operations and provide additional security to the surrounding community.

Additionally, if Element 7 is awarded a license, we have found three prospective local NorCal security firms that we would envision working with that we would seek approval for from local Town law enforcement. Our preference is to work with a security company that is as ‘local as possible’.
80 The group selected by Element 7 would be responsible for providing one (1) licensed security personnel on-site 24-hours a day to ensure safe operations of the business. All security personnel and guards will be certified by the State Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (as described below in ‘Security Personnel and Guards’).

GSG Security Services
Strategic security advisement for Element 7 is provided by GSG Security Services, a specialized security service company that will provide high-level guidance for Element 7 security operations across all aspects of the business, working in conjunction with a local State-Licensed Security firm approved by Local Town law enforcement.

The business operates in 9 States across the US and brings over 300 years of combined security, law enforcement and military forces experience to Element 7 operation. GSG is a minority and veteran-owned business.

Security Personnel and Guards
All security personnel and guards employed for security work at Element 7 will be licensed by the State Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) with a valid Department of Consumer Affairs Security Guard License (‘Security Guard Card’) which is obtained by completing the annual pre-licensing course.
81 These personnel will be hired from a local licensed security firm chosen in consultation with the Chief of Police, with such guards reporting to the Chief Security Officer at Element 7, and a functional reporting line to the General Manager of the business. Such guards will be first on-site each day, and will remain at the premises until closing, escorting all staff to their vehicles at the end of the night, before closing the premises and activating the alarm system.

Element 7 Security Guards will also undertake pre-work training with GSG who conduct advanced training covering threat assessment, risk mitigation, customer management, systems and hardware and incident management. GSG are a Bureau-certified training provider.

All security guards must be at least 21 years of age, have undergone a criminal history background check through the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and complete the Power to Arrest Training, which includes:
• 40 hours of training in security officer skills; and
• 8 hours of continual training which must be completed during the second year of service.

Staffing Changes
Element 7’s operations manager will notify the Chief of Police within three (3) business days of any proposed staffing changes.

2. Employee Theft Reduction Measures
Diversion
Employee theft reduction starts with the hiring and retention programs created by the business – Element 7 is committed to hiring the best talent it can find, training them, creating a ‘career’ for them with Element 7, offering them ‘ownership’ of the business through a Stock Plan, and ensuring that there are continuous open lines of communication with management.

Element 7 has a zero-tolerance policy for theft. If an employee is caught stealing or attempting to divert medical cannabis, he/she will be terminated immediately and referred to the relevant local law enforcement authorities.

Element 7 will actively seek law enforcement involvement and seek to have criminal charges imposed against any employee stealing or diverting medical cannabis and will cooperate with the local police department in investigating any such activity. Employees found to be diverting medical cannabis are subject to arrest, prosecution, fine, imprisonment and will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Diversion Prevention - Best Practices
Element 7 will implement the following “Best Practices” to prevent diversion from within the Company. These strategies include:
82 1. Pre-Employment and on-going annual background checks and reporting of necessary findings.

2. Policies prohibiting personal tools, supplies and equipment.

3. Employee personal bag searches (with signed consent).

4. Employee tracking via security surveillance and electronic access system (deliveries).

5. Escorting vendors, contractors, and visitors at all times while on facility premises.

Theft Reduction Measures
The Company will implement the following employee theft reduction measures. • Employees are required to wear uniforms while on duty in the storefront dispensary, while out on delivery, and/or while on dispensary premises. • Uniforms will consist of Company issued pocket-less pants and shirts. • No personal items or bags, that do not fit into the Company issued clear case, can be brought outside of the locker room area.
• Employees will be required to log in and out from Company time tracker. • Employees will be required to use their Company issued key cards to enter into, and exit, the facility.
• Security Officers will perform spot and bag checks before employee’s leave the premises.
• Entry/Exit of employees will be monitored by video surveillance, time tracking software, Employee badge cards that permit access to limited access areas, as well by visual surveillance by the security officer.

Facility Signage
Signs are used within the Facility to remind staff and customers of the illegality of secondary sale, minors, and any diversion matters.
83 84
Non-Employees in the Product Storage and Receiving Area People who have not been verified as employees or qualified vendors are not permitted in the product storage or receiving areas.

Employee Locker Rooms and Break Room
The Company will maintain a separate area for the employee locker and break room where all employees will have appointed lockers to leave their personal belongings while on the clock. This area will remain completely separate from any limited access areas such as product storage, main office, and secure loading and unloading area/s.

Our Levels of Access protocol which guides who can access which areas within the Facility, and the use of Swipe Cards and Bio-Scans, will significantly eliminate the risk of theft and diversion. Our Inventory Management processes and Product POS systems further control access to the product and how cash and products are managed.

Company-Issued Uniforms, Clear Cases, and Personal Item Policies An effective deterrent to diversion, theft and loss is the issuance of uniforms and clear cases for personal belongings, such as mobile devices. Internal policies require employees to make use of locker rooms that are provided in the facility. Company-issued uniforms are generally pocketless to prevent diversion, theft and loss of cannabis products and currency. Upon an employee’s termination or resignation, uniforms and clear cases will be surrendered to the General Manager.

Background Checks
Pursuant to California Penal Code Sections 11105(b) (11) and 13300(b)(11), every person listed as an owner, manager, supervisor or employee within the Facility, must submit fingerprints and other information requested by the Chief of Police, for a background check.

Pursuant to California Penal Code Sections 11105(b) (11) and 13300(b)(11), no person will be issued a permit to operate or work within the Facility unless they have first cleared the background check.

A Log of all Background check documents will be held by both the Head of Security and the Head of Human Resources at Element 7 and the General Manager at Element 7.

3. Reducing Risks of Robbery
Robberies and armed hold-ups are serious and potentially dangerous crimes that can cause emotional and psychological distress to victims even when they are not physically hurt.

Particularly at risk are businesses such as cannabis dispensaries that manage large amounts of cash, that have few employees on site, and that regularly deal face-to-face with customers in areas that are often isolated due to zoning restrictions.

The most important aspect of reacting to a robbery is to deal first with the personal safety of employees and customers. Preventing crime in the first-place stems from 85 having a range of practices, systems, and workplace design considerations in place that make it hard to, or completely deter, such crimes from happening.

Workplace Designs to Prevent Robbery
• Element 7 dispensaries are designed so that they are highly visible from the street as this deters robbers and makes detection much more likely. A well-lit interior and exterior (including sensor lights at night) is a significant deterrent. Managing landscaping and the height of shrubs is critical so that robbers cannot hide or create blind spots.
• Prominently displayed high-quality digitized closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance equipment that is maintained regularly with data backed-up at an offsite remote location is critical as both a deterrent and for anyevidence. • Sales counters within Element 7 are at a height, depth, and width that makes it difficult for any customer to physically grab or reach for an employee while they are behind the counter. Counter tops are cleaned regularly so that fingerprints are more easily captured (counters are not cleaned with oil or wax basedcleaners). • Cash registers are bolted into the units they are placed on / within. Barriers to separate customers from ‘staff-only’ areas are in place at all facilities. • Up-to-date lists of emergency phone numbers are kept next to landlines in all facilities. Witness description forms are kept in a known area behind all sales counters.
• Panic and duress buttons are located next to each cash register. Such devices are tested frequently for malfunctions. False alarms are immediately reported to local law enforcement.
• Storage rooms shall have internal locks that can be opened from the inside (spare keys shall be kept in a hidden area within the storage room in the event that staff are held at gunpoint and locked in a room).
• All internal doors within the facility have a 2-factor magnetic lock with industrial hinges and door strength.
• Sally-ports are used at facilities – one door must be closed before the other door will open.
• All seldom-used rear and side doors will either be blocked with bricks and cement during the construction phase or marked as an exit door for fire safety requirements.

Doors are locked when not in use.
• Bullet-resistant glass shall be used at the check-in counter in high-risk urban locations.

Workplace Practices
The following practices are adopted to create a safer working environment for both staff and customers:
• Procedures for the operation of duress and panic buttons (silent alarm) clear to all employees. Periodic update and review for all staff.
• All employees trained to watch for and report any suspicious behavior and actions inside and outside the premises.
• Reporting all suspicious activities immediately – (a) recording a written description of all suspicious activities, persons, and vehicles, (b) training staff to be aware of suspicious persons, questions, and activities including persons that seem to be 86 loitering, questions business volume and transaction amounts, and people waiting for a lull in operations.
• Greeting every customer with a friendly greeting and eye contact – robbers try to avoid eye contact as they do not want to be identified. This practice may deter some would-be robbers.
• Requiring all tradespeople, repair workers, guards, police officers, and any visitors to sign-in and provide an ID Card before entering the premises. • Ensuring that sufficient staff and guards are on duty at all times to manage customer flows – this practice is known as ‘target hardening’ and makes robberies more complicated and difficult.
• Make it obvious that the business uses good cash-practices, techniques, and protection equipment. Visual deterrents (equipment, signage, placards) tells potential robbers that the risks may outweigh the profits. • Ongoing liaison with local law enforcement with regards to robbery procedures so that all parties understand the process with regards to any robbery or theft situation. • Ensure that emergency telephone numbers and other vital contact numbers (security, police, owners) are easily visible and accessible to staff. • Presence of uniformed guards within the facility and use of armored vehicles for the pick-up and delivery of all cash.

Training
• Regular on-site training is given the highest priority at Element 7. Employees are continuously trained on robbery prevention, detection, and deterrent to improve safety and assist in apprehension.

Opening and Closing Procedures
The following practices are used for all opening and closing of the premises each day for the safety of staff, customers, and the business:
• On arrival each day, the premises shall be inspected for forcible entry prior to entering the facility.
• A security guard shall first inspect the premises before allowing staff to enter. If all clear, staff shall enter the premises.
• At closing, a final sweep shall be conducted to ensure that nobody is hiding within the premises.
• A security guard shall escort all staff to their vehicles at closing time. • All staff shall text message the security guard on-duty as staff either arrive home or at their next destination after leaving work.

Cash Protection
By following set rules and processes for the management of cash within the business, the business will be a less attractive target and will limit any robber’s profits while reducing losses:
• A minimum of easily accessible cash shall be kept on hand within the business and stored within the vault. Each cash register shall start the day with $250.00 in cash change and shall be emptied as soon as the register has $1,250.00. At thatpoint, $1,000.00 shall be removed from the register and placed in a quick one-way cash 87 drop box within the secured office prior to the end of that shift (drop-box shall be bolted to the floor and emptied at the end of each shift before being transferred to the vault).
• Vaults shall contain an outer-lock for access to the vault and an inner-lock for cash (vault within a vault). Vaults shall be locked at the end of each use and access shall be minimized to the General Manager and Shift Manager. Access by Shift Manager shall require a security guard being present (dual-access control). • Money shall be kept out of reach of customers by ensuring that the register is at a height and depth back from the counter that makes access by a customer problematic and out of reach.
• No counting of cash allowed within view of any customers – all cash shall be counted and balanced in the General Manager’s locked office. • Use of ‘marked-bills’ within each cash register – in this instance the Serial Numbers are pre-recorded and two bills ($10.00 and $5.00) are kept within a separate section within the register and not to be touched unless during arobbery.

Preparing Against a Robbery
The overriding consideration in dealing with a robbery is to reduce the possibility of any injury by ensuring staff are trained and prepared on how to deal with such occurrence. • Use of CODE A practices – that can be used as a prompt to staff as to how to handle a robbery. CODE A is an acronym and can be easily memorized:
o Stay Calm – Remain calm and in control at all times.
o Obey – Do not resist the robber. Don’t be a hero. Do not take action that would jeopardize the safety of personnel or customers. In most situations robbers don’t harm people that are cooperating and calm. Try to inform the robbers of any surprises and inform the robber if you need to reach for anything such as a key. Follow the robber’s commands but do not volunteer assistance or information.
o Describe the Situation – Train staff to be observant and plan to be a good witness. Count the number of robbers, note their physical characteristics and distinguishing features, behavior, speech patterns, nicknames used, and other relevant details. Ensure that witnesses do not discuss or collaborate details until law enforcement arrives and takes witness statements. Have staff record their own version of events as soon as possible in writing after an incident.
o Maintain Evidence – Train staff to maintain and safeguard evidence. Do not let anyone touch counters, door handles, or any other surface before law enforcement arrives.
o Alarm – Activate the panic / duress buttons as quickly, safely, and discreetly as possible. Call the police. All actions must only be done when it is safe to do so.

Post-Robbery Procedures
By following a known set of procedures after a robbery, employees will be in a better position to assist law enforcement in apprehending robbers and protecting the community from harm. Employees will be assigned set responsibilities for who will do what after a robbery takes place – who will safeguard evidence, who will call police, 88 who will care for anyone injured, who will identify the getaway vehicle.

The following policies are in place:
• Staff are trained to not chase after robbers. The robbers may shoot at, or attack, and pursuers. Responding law enforcement may confuse staff for robbers. • Secure the doors so that robbers cannot re-enter the premises. Stop all operations immediately. Do not let anyone enter except emergency and law enforcement personnel. Place a sign on the door saying “Premises are Temporarily Closed Due to an Emergency” so that more customers do not attempt to enter. • Call the police immediately on 911. Staff will be briefed to report if anyone is injured so that an ambulance may be dispatched if necessary. Report all details to law enforcement including descriptions and times.
• Care for any injured persons.
• Write down all details of what happened and inform staff to do so – witness description forms are kept behind all sales counters.
• Preserve potential evidence by protecting the crime scene and keeping people out of the area where the crime took place. Do not touch anything. • Ask witnesses to stay until law enforcement arrives.
• Contact Element 7 Chief of Security and CEO immediately to report the situation. • Do not discuss the crime with outsiders or the media – refer all questions to the police and the Element 7 CEO.
• Assist the investigating officers in every way possible including access to CCTV footage, and witness description forms.
• Manage trauma situations through paid leave, counselling, or any other means necessary.

4. Security and Safety Training
Safety training is critical to ensuring Element 7 staff are informed, educated, and prepared for a range of responsive situations that could occur within daily operations. The training importantly includes clear directives, material, and instruction for customers. These policies and procedures include emergency evacuation procedures within the retail facility, safety hazards, returning cannabis products, recalls and other situations that may affect their safety and security while in the retail facility or while using cannabis products purchased at our facility.

Training and Instruction
We have established the following policy on training all workers with respect to workplace security.

All workers, including managers and supervisors, shall have training and instruction on general and job-specific workplace security practices. Training and instruction shall be provided when the IIP Program for Workplace Security is first established and periodically thereafter. Training shall also be provided to all new workers and to other workers for whom training has not previously been provided and to all workers, supervisors and managers given new job assignments for which specific workplace security training for that job assignment has not previously been provided. Additional training and instruction will be provided to all personnel whenever the employer is made aware of new or previously 89 unrecognized security hazards.

General workplace security training and instruction includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Explanation of the IIP Program for Workplace Security including measures for reporting any violent acts or threats of violence.

2. Recognition of workplace security hazards including the risk factors associated with the three types of workplace violence.

3. Measures to prevent workplace violence, including procedures for reporting workplace security hazards or threats to managers and supervisors.

4. Ways to defuse hostile or threatening situations.

5. Measures to summon others for assistance.

6. Worker routes of escape.

7. Notification of law enforcement authorities when a criminal act may have occurred.

8. Emergency medical care provided in the event of any violent act upon a worker; and

9. Post-event trauma counseling for those workers desiring such assistance.

In addition, we provide specific instructions to all workers regarding workplace security hazards unique to their job assignment, to the extent that such information was not already covered in other training.

We have chosen the following checked items for training and instruction for managers, supervisors and workers:
- Crime awareness.
- Location and operation of alarm systems.
- Communication procedures.
- Proper work practices for employees and security guards. - Self-protection.
- Dealing with angry, hostile or threatening individuals. - Location, operation, care, and maintenance of alarm systems and other protective devices.
- Communication procedures.
- Determination of when to use the "buddy" system or other assistance from coworkers. - Awareness of indicators that lead to violent acts by service recipients. - Pre-employment screening practices.
- Worker Assistance Programs.
90 - Awareness of situational indicators that lead to violent acts. - Managing with respect and consideration for worker well-being. - Review of anti-violence policy and procedures.

Security and Emergency Preparedness Training
Supervisors, managers and employees will also be required to complete Security and Emergency Preparedness training based on Federal Emergency Management Agency guidelines and courses. This includes:
• Natural hazards: floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes • Health hazards
• Cybersecurity, power outages and equipment failure
• Emergency alerts and the Integrated Public Alert and Warning Systems • Active Shooter, robbery, burglary, transportation incidents and workplace violence • Attacks in Public Places
• Terrorism, bomb threats and suspicious packages
• Ensuring Building Security: evacuation, sheltering and lockdown • Severe Weather
• Recovering from Disaster
• Loss Prevention
• First Aid and CPR
Employee Safety and Security Training and Resources
Our supervisors, managers and employees will be required to complete safety training that covers OSHA requirements, Sexual Harassment and Workplace Violence, Emergency Preparedness and Safety and Security Policies and Procedures.

In order for our Company to maintain the safety and security of our employees, we will perform security and risk assessments at various stages of build-out and implementation, and on-going assessments while in operation, to identify workplace security issues. The fact that the cannabis industry is unable to access traditional banking services, high amounts of cash on-site and highly valuable items, such as cannabis products, may increase the risk of violence related to diversion, theft and other related criminal activity. Although our security plan includes state-of-the art security systems, devices and professional, contracted security officers, we will have all facility supervisors and employees complete Worker Safety and Health training modeled after Cal/OSHA’s Cannabis Industry Health and Safety Program.

Training will cover:
• Electrical hazards
• Hazard communication
• Injury and illness prevention
• Personal protective equipment
• Point of operation hazards
• Repetitive motion injuries
• Slips, trips, falls and use of ladders
• Sanitation and pest control
• Workplace violence
91 • Sexual harassment
• Discrimination
• Worker’s Rights
• Employer’s Rights
• Reporting and Resources
Cannabis Specific, In-Depth Security Training
We will contract a security professional to provide security and emergency preparedness training based on FEMA Emergency Management Agency guidelines that includes active shooter, emergency preparedness, burglary and robbery, bomb threats, cybersecurity threats and other potential security and safety threats that employees may encounter while on the job. Our contracted security professional will also train employees on ways to identify potential risks to workplace security, describe measures for improving workplace security and how to determine actions to take in response to a safety or security situation (e.g., burglary, armed hold-up, stroke and heart attack, loss of power). We also require, and provide, training refresher courses which will occur on an annual, ongoing basis for all employees. Refresher training courses will consist of a minimum of 32 (paid) hours annually, for security and safety training.

Our Chief of Security will also be providing, and managing, training on internal safety and security policies and procedures that have been developed with our Chief of Compliance.

Facilities may have unique safety and security issues and our Chiefs of Security and Compliance will work on developing policies and procedures that address these unique issues. Internal Security and Safety policies and proceduresinclude:
• Security Surveillance Systems
• Equipment: inspections, maintenance, and reporting
• Alarm Systems: inspections, maintenance, monitoring, reporting • Duress

Situational Training
Staff are trained to deal with, and manage, a range of workplace scenarios – having staff adequately trained allows for rapid response, resolution, and risk minimization.

Emergencies
The Company has outlined steps that supervisors, managers, and employees should take in the event of certain emergency situations.

Fire
• Call 911 immediately if fire is uncontrollable.
• Use fire extinguisher to put out smaller fires.
• Evacuate the building immediately and allow the fire department full access to the facility.
• Have staff and witnesses fill out incident reports.
• Assist in clean up after fire has been extinguished properly. Management is to secure product in the safe if available.

Earthquake
• All employees find a safe spot during the event and exit store in calm fashion if possible.
• Manager on duty is to lock up doors and shut off gas line to business ifaccessible. • Manager is to account for all employees and vendors after the event is over and facilitate cleaning up the business if needed. No employee is to leave without contacting the manager first and receiving authorization to do so. 93 • Manager is to call the owner and inform him of any damage. Owner is to call Insurance company in the event of damage and facilitate the repairs.

Medical
Any type ofserious life-threatening medical emergency, such as seizures, asthma attacks, epilepsy, diabetic episodes, etc. will be handled by medical professionals and emergency responders will be called immediately via 911. Any type of accident wherein bodily fluids is present, only management is to deal with such fluids using proper cleaning supplies and gloves. If in abundance, use of professional cleaning service may be deemed necessary.

Business will have a stocked first-aid kit in case of minor injuries at work. Employees will always have access to this kit.

Active Shooter
Employees will receive Active Shooter training from our contracted Security Professional.

Injury or Accident
Employees will be instructed to remain calm and assess the emergency situation. They will be trained to assess whether the injured individual requires need medical attention. Injured individuals who refuse medical attention will be asked to complete and sign an incident report and refusal to receive medical attention waiver. Basic first-aid procedures can be used on employees in the event of a minor injury.

Hazardous Materials
Hazardous materials (hazmat) are substances or materials that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has determined are capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety and property when transported in commerce. The Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) are a set of rules established by The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to ensure hazmat is packaged and handled safely during transport, storage, and handling.

Hazardous Material Security training is designed to introduce hazmat employees to security risks associated with the hazmat transportation process and ways to enhance security, as well as how to spot a possible security threat and respond appropriately. Training will help employees meet the security awareness training requirement (49 CFR 172.704(a)(4)).

Training will enable employees to determine if a material is hazardous, recognize the hazard classes and divisions used to identify hazardous materials, recall what makes a material hazardous substance, waste, marine pollutant, or elevated temperature material.

All employees will be able to communicate a material’s hazards through the use of shipping papers, markings, labels, and placards.

All staff are trained in two (2) core Hazmat areas of concern, which training is included in staff on-boarding training and the annual training refresher program:
• Importance of Hazmat Security
• Reducing the Hazmat Risk
Workplace Safety
We have built our company by maintaining the interests, safety and security of our 94 employees – in 2019 Element 7 entered into a Labor Peace Agreement with the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW).

Our training includes providing material and instruction on Worker’s Rights. Every employee should know that they have the right to safe working environments, access to protective equipment and information, records and reports about their employer, the facility they work in and the issues that they may be exposed to. Materials and instruction on Worker’s Rights will clearly state and explain that every employee has the rightto:

1. Working conditions that do not pose a risk of serious harm. This means providing a safe and secure working environment for our employees at all times.

2. Employees also have the right to receive information and training, in a language and vocabulary that they understand, about workplace hazards, methods to prevent them and the OSHA standards that apply to their workplace.

3. Provide employees access to records of work-related injuries and illnesses.

4. File a complaint asking OSHA to inspect their workplace if they believe that there is a serious hazard or that their employer is not following OSHA’s rules.

5. Exercise their rights under the law, without fear of retaliation, including reporting an injury or raising health and safety concerns with their employer or OSHA.

Workplace Violence
Workplace violence is any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the work site. It ranges from threats and verbal abuse to physical assaults and even homicide. It can affect and involve employees, clients, customers and visitors. Acts of violence and other injuries is currently the third-leading cause of fatal occupational injuries in the United States. In most workplaces where risk factors can be identified, the risk of assault can be prevented or minimized if employers take appropriate precautions.

Our Company has developed a Zero-Tolerance Policy towards Workplace Violence. Our policy covers all workers, customers, visitors, contractors, and anyone else who may come in contact with our supervisors, employees and contracted professionals.

Our Zero-Tolerance towards Workplace Violence Policy addresses:

1. Training that identifies aggressive and violent behavior and how to diffuse escalating violent situations;

2. Security system and devices installed throughout the workplace to enhance security and safety;

3. Proper alert and reporting procedures;

4. Responding to workplace violence incidents, including medical treatment, follow up treatment, providing tools and resources;

5. Assessing current policies and making improvements.
95 There are three (3) major types of workplace violence. Type I workplace violence involves a violent act by an assailant with no legitimate relationship to the workplace who enters the workplace to commit a robbery or other criminal act. Type II involves a violent act or threat of violence by a recipient of a service provided by our establishment, such as a client, patient, customer, passenger or a criminal suspect or prisoner. Type III involves a violent act or threat of violence by a current or former worker, supervisor or manager, or another person who has some employment-related involvement with our establishment, such as a worker's spouse or lover, a worker's relative or friend, or another person who has a dispute with one of our workers.

Our Company has decided to assign responsibility for security in our workplace to our Chief of Security who will act as the Injury and Illness Prevention (IIP) Program administrator for workplace security and has the authority and responsibility for implementing the provisions of our Zero-Tolerance towards Workplace Violence Policy. All managers and supervisors are responsible for implementing and maintaining this IIP Program in their work areas and for answering worker questions about the IIP Program. A copy of this IIP Program will be made to employees by each manager and supervisor.

Our policy is designed to ensure compliance with our rules on workplace security. The Management of our establishment is committed to ensuring that all safety and health policies and procedures involving workplace security are clearly communicated and understood by all supervisors, managers, and employees.

All supervisors, managers, and employees are responsible for using safe work practices, for following all directives, policies and procedures, and for assisting in maintaining a safe and secure work environment. Our policy ensures that all supervisors, managers, and employees comply with work practices that are designed to make the workplace more secure, and do not engage in threats or physical actions which create a security hazard for others in the workplace. The policy includes:

1. Informing supervisors, managers, and employees of the provisions of our IIP Program for Workplace Security. Evaluating the performance of all supervisors, managers, and employees in complying with our establishment's workplace security measures.

2. Recognizing supervisors, managers and employees who perform work practices which promote security in the workplace.

3. Providing training and/or counseling to supervisors, managers, and employees whose performance is deficient in complying with work practices designed to ensure workplace security.

4. Disciplining supervisors, managers, and employees for failure to comply with workplace security practices.

5. The following practices that ensure worker compliance with workplace security directives, policies and procedures.

We recognize that to maintain a safe, healthy and secure workplace we must have open, two-way communication between supervisors, managers, and employees, on all workplace safety, health and security issues. Our establishment has a communication 96 system designed to encourage a continuous flow of safety, health and security information between management and our workers without fear of reprisal and in a form that is readily understandable. Our communication system consists of the following checked items:
• New worker orientation on our establishment's workplace security policies, procedures and work practices.
• Periodic review of our IIP Program for Workplace Security with all personnel. • Training programs designed to address specific aspects of workplace security unique to our establishment.
• Regularly scheduled safety meetings with all personnel that include workplace security discussions.
• A system to ensure that all workers, including managers and supervisors, understand the workplace security policies.
• Posted or distributed workplace security information. • A system for workers to inform management about workplace security hazards or threats of violence.
• Procedures for protecting workers who report threats from retaliation by the person making the threats.
• Addressing security issues at our workplace security team meetings. • Our establishment has fewer than ten workers and communicates with and instructs workers orally about general safe work practices with respect to workplace security.

Other Workplace Staff Policies
Intoxication
Any employee of the businesses who appears to be intoxicated will be asked to leave the premises immediately. This will include alcohol, drug and marijuana intoxication. This will be counted as a shift missed and can be written up with a reprimand in their file. If an intoxicated employee refuses to leave the property, the authorities will be called, and they may be arrested for trespassing.

Drugs and Alcohol
Drugs and alcohol of any kind are not welcome in the workplace. Anyone caught using, providing, sharing, or selling drugs and / or alcohol will be terminated and could be subject to criminal/civil prosecution.

Theft
Any employee caught stealing will be terminated immediately, they will be banned from the premises, and management will press charges against them. If you suspect someone of 97 employee theft do not directly confront them as this could lead to a volatile situation and you may be wrong. Inform management immediately and the issue will be investigated thoroughly before any decisions are made. Employee theft will not be tolerated and will result in instant termination and possible criminal charges against the individual.

Violence – Zero Tolerance
Violence toward anyone is NEVER tolerated and will result in immediate termination of employment and possibly criminal and / or civil litigation.

Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment occurs when one employee makes continued, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, to another employee, against his or her wishes. Sexual Harassment is not tolerated and may result in termination of employment depending upon review of complaint and validity of accusations.

Incident Investigations
We have established the following policy for investigating incidents of security and safety breaches and threats. Our procedures include:

1. Reviewing all previous incidents.

2. Visiting the scene of an incident as soon as possible.

3. Interviewing threatened or injured workers and witnesses.

4. Examining the workplace for security risk factors associated with the incident, including any previous reports of inappropriate behavior by the perpetrator.

5. Determining the cause of the incident.

6. Taking corrective action to prevent the incident from recurring.

7. Recording the findings and corrective actions taken.

6. Facility Access Plan
Element 7 has designed its facilities in a manner that provides for controlled contact and access to cannabis and cannabis products, cash and currency, and other sensitive records and materials to prevent diversion, theft, loss and other related criminal activity that may put its operations, employees and the surrounding community atrisk.

Product and Facility Access Protocols
Cannabis or cannabis product will not be stored, kept, or otherwise, accessed from outside the building. Loading and unloading of cannabis or cannabis products is allowed during business operating hours only and must be completed at the rear of the building. All cannabis present or kept at the premises will be securely stored against both unauthorized access as well as theft.
98 A Safe with a UL-Approved safe with a fire rating that is 2-hour and 1,700 degrees F or better rated with a complex locking device only known to the General Manager will be installed at the Facility. The CEO for Element 7 will also have access to such safe.

The overall design of the security plan is based on Levels of Access designation, with levels assigned to each person and situation, setting the basis for control and access.

This system provides the following benefits:
• Assists in outlining access rights to be administered and monitored; • When combined with rules and policies it delineates clarity for purposes of compliance and enforcement; and
• System allows for training of employees and staff with ease of operation assisting with enforcement.

Main Facility Access
The front of the facility will have a Lobby which will be manned by a Security Guard during all hours of operation. This person also acts as the check-in staff to facilitate age and identity verification, as well as new patient and customer intake. All persons must present their ID Card and sign-in to the Facility at this point. Any persons without a valid ID Card will be asked to leave the facility immediately.

Limited Access Areas
Element 7 will ensure that any person on the business premises, except for employees and contractors of Element 7 are always escorted by at least one employee of the licensee when in the limited-access areas of the premises. • Element 7 will establish limited-access areas and permit only authorized individuals to enter the limited-access areas. An example of the type of signage used by Element 7 is demonstrated below.
• Authorized individuals include employees as well as any outside vendors, contractors, or other individuals conducting business that requires access to the limited-access area.
• An individual who enters the limited-access areas will be at least 21 years ofage. • Element 7 will maintain a log of all authorized individuals who are not employees that enter the limited-access area. These logs will be made available to licensing authorities upon request.
• Element 7 will not receive consideration or compensation for permitting an individual to enter the limited-access area.
99 Facility Layout and Access Plan
The layout of our dispensing facility complies with state requirements in as much as it utilizes a buzz-in feature door that separates our reception area from the retail floor area. The entire facility consists of limited access areas, which are areas where customers will be allowed under supervision of an employee; and restricted access areas, which are areas that are only accessible to authorized personnel with specific permissions.

Restricted Access Areas will be identified by signage of no less than 12 inches by 12 inches, indicating: "Do Not Enter - Restricted Access Area - Authorized Personnel Only". The sign will utilize lettering with a font size no less than 1 inch in height (as shown above).

Limited Access Areas

1. Parking Lot

2. Retail Floor
Restricted Access Areas

1. Cannabis Product Storage Area

2. Reinforced Vault (within Main Office)- TL-30 safe, DEA-approved for the storage of Schedule I Narcotics

3. Cannabis Waste Storage Area

4. Main Office

5. Register (POS)

6. Employee Break Room

7. Employee Restroom

8. Quarantine Area

9. Loading and Unloading Area
Employees will be designated a Level of Access based on their job scope, title and 100
responsibilities. They will then be assigned a personalized security pass (with name, photo and Access Level boldly displayed) for movement within the Facility. Every employee will be trained on Element 7’s strict “anti-piggybacking” rules and procedures which prevent unauthorized persons accessing areas within the Facility that they are not approved for.

Anybody caught in an Access Level beyond their assigned level will be immediately taken to a meeting room with the General Manager for an explanation and investigation of consequences of such security breach. Any serious breaches could result in immediate suspension and up to termination of the employee from the Facility. All security passes given to employees must be returned to the on-site security guard prior to exiting the facility.

Electronic Access, Limited and Restricted Access Areas
To ensure that accurate and reliable logs of access to restricted areas are monitored and recorded, the facility will be installed with an electronic access system. This system requires dual factor authentication via Company-issued access cards and facial recognition software. Passwords are sufficient in maintaining an effective dual factor authentication process but can be easily stolen or retrieved by unauthorized individuals. Facial recognition reduces the chances of replicating an individual’s facial features and provides a more robust security measure that is more difficult to circumvent.

Electronic Access Systems record information pertaining to the access of areas controlled by its system. This means that we will be able to identify which employees access certain limited and restricted access areas, the time and date they accessed the area and how much time was spent in that particular area. This system complies with current regulatory requirements and ensures accurate and reliable reporting.

The access control system is built upon the following platform and involves the following measures:
• Dual factored authorization and authentication measures – Contact and Control Card (CAC) and Facial Recognition;
• Access Privilege - based upon employees’ duties and roles; • Contact and Control Card lockout times;
• Continuous Monitoring and Recording of Access Entry/Exit, Attempted Surreptitious Entry;
• System Interrogation;
• All assigned employees will be issued a Contact and Control Card (CAC) of which each will be assigned a Card Holder Unique Identifier (CHUID) identifying the employee and record a biometric fingerprint; and
• Biometric restricted access to Critical Cyber Asset areas. 101
Keys, IDs and Access Card Policies and Procedures
Medeco Locks and Key Issuance
To ensure the security of the facility even in the event of power outages, the facility will be outfitted with noncommercial grade mechanical Medeco locks. Medeco locks are drill proof, require multiple diamond blades in order to be cut, are pick-resistant and require a Medeco company issued card with a unique authorization number to be duplicated.

Medeco locks meet security ratings established by underwriters Laboratories for Key Locks and have a rating of UL437.

Keys for these locks will be managed and issued by the General Manager. Best practices demand that agents and employees that have been issued keys for these locks maintain the keys on their person at all times and should not leave the keys in locks or store the keys in a location accessible to unauthorized individuals. Keys will be surrendered to the General Manager at the close of business day.

Electronic Access
Element 7 has chosen to implement a comprehensive Electronic Access Control system (i.e. Biometric, RFID, Smartcard) which will be installed throughout the facility. All employees, management, and visitors will be required to wear an identification badge/card for specific access. These Electronic Access Control systems will be continuously monitored. Element 7' security personnel will track the movement of employees and visitors throughout the facility using human surveillance, video surveillance and Electronic Access and Control monitoring. Attributes of this platform include:
● Dual factored authorization and authentication measures – Contact and Control Card (CAC) and Biometric Fingerprint;
● Access Privilege - based upon employee’s duties and roles; ● Contact and Control Card lockout times;
● Continuous Monitoring and Recording of Access Entry/Exit; and ● Biometric restricted access to Limited and Restricted Access areas.

Company Issued Electronic Access Cards and Employee Badges Electronic access allows for permission controls that allow authorized agents to access specific areas of the facility in order to complete tasks related to their assigned roles. To ensure that access to an area is limited to the authorized agent, we will be issuing Access Cards embedded with unique employee permissions that are integrated withemployee facial imaging signatures. These cards will only be issued to employees by the General Manager. Although cards may be duplicated, facial recognition, which is the second layer of access authentication, will prohibit unauthorized individuals from accessing the facility or areas of the facility.

Upon the termination of an employee, or resignation, these access cards will be surrendered to the General Manager before the former employee leaves the facility.

Access cards that are lost or stolen will immediately be de-activated and a temporary access card will be issued that de-activates at the close of business day. Temporary access cards will need to be activated by the General Manager on the days that employees work, until their permanent access card is replaced. Access Cards also serve as 102
Company-issued ID badges that are required to be worn in a conspicuous manner while on-duty.

Employee Badges
Element 7 will be issuing employee badges in compliance with state regulations (California Code of Regulations, Title 16, Division 42, Section 5043. Employee ID badges will include the following:
• Element 7 name and license number
• Employee’s first name
• Employee number exclusively assigned to the employee for identification purposes • Color photograph of the employee clearly showing the full front of the employee’s face, at least 1 inch in width and 1.5 inches in height All Element 7 issued employee badges will be laminated and worn on Element 7 issued ID clip. Element 7 policy requires that employees wear IDs at all times while at the facility.

Element 7’s Facility Supervisor will issue employee badges and maintain all related documentation on Flowhub.

In the event that an employee forgets or misplaces his or her badge, the employee will be required to get a temporary badge from the Facility Supervisor. In cases where an employee loses his or her badge, a formal report must be made to the Facility Supervisor and a new badge will be issued. Any authorizations attributed to the lost badge will be suspended. In some cases, disciplinary action will be taken against employees who misplace, forget or lose their badges.

Integrated Visitor Management System
We permit visitors into our facilities on the condition that their visit is pre-approved by the General Manager, Chiefs of Retail, Security or Compliance, or owners. To ensure the security of our facility, our customers, and the visitor, we deploy integrated visitor management, that utilizes U.S. Military grade technology. Our Integrated Visitor Management system features:
• Real time monitoring and management of audio and video verification systems • Managed access control and on-line visitor management • Visitor Badge Printing
• On-line visitor reports
• Secured 256-bit communication
• Single click evacuation list
• Barred Visitor Control
• Access control integration with security system
103
Visitor records will be maintained on our secure, cloud-based data storage system, and reports will be generated for the Town at their request.

Lost/Stolen Keys
Any employee who loses a key, ID or access card must report the loss to his or her manager/supervisor immediately, who will then report the loss to the Key Administrator.

The General Manager will determine whether the system has been compromised, and if a core change is necessary. If a core change is required, the authorized state approved locksmith will be notified, and the Head of Security will take necessary measuresto secure any potential compromised areas.

The Head of Security will initiate an investigation in reference to any lost/stolen keys, IDs or access cards, and determine if disciplinary action is necessary.

Duplicated Keys
It is strictly against Company policy to duplicate keys, IDs or access cards.

Keys, IDs and access cards will not be duplicated for individually dedicated locks and access points, unless a need can be demonstrated, and written approval is received from the Head of Security.

Prevention of Trespassing
Human surveillance will be supplemented by video surveillance of the premises and its perimeter. In the event that illegal activities are occurring on the premises, security personnel have been instructed to determine the type and level of the incident and then respond accordingly. Violent type incidents require that security personnel contact the local police department for assistance. A full sweep of all areas of the facility will be conducted each night before closing to ensure nobody is hiding on the premises or remains on the premises after closing.

7. Financial Plan, Cash Management/Currency Handling and Best Practices Financial Plan
Financial Planning is a key component of operational success. To ensure the success of our cannabis retail business, our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has developed a robust financial plan that will be implemented by our financial department. As part of our CFO’s role in the successful implementation of our Financial Plan, he will oversee the financial department, including the implementation and administration of the internal control structure over elements such as financial reporting, safeguarding assets and appropriate authorizations over expenditures.

We will use QuickBooks for all financial transactions, invoicing, payments, and financial analysis. Our CFO will oversee all accounting and reporting policies and procedures that ensure directives are carried out by employees according to such mandated directives related to financial activities. He will also manage internal controls over financial activities including the authorization of financial transactions; recordkeeping and financial reporting; 104
physical control over assets and inventory; periodic independent verification and auditing, such as separate invoicing and receiving departments; separation of duties, which consists of several sub-departments within the financial department; and the implementation of sound personnel practices that promote a strengthened internal control structure, such as adequate supervision of employees, mandatory vacation time, and bonding of personnel who handle cash or inventory.

Our internal control structure is established in a manner to help mitigate and detect deficiencies in the controls structure. Separation of duties is one such element to manage accurate financial reporting. This means having sub-departments that oversee particular aspects of Element 7’s financial transactions and activities. Each sub-department, such as Invoicing and Receivables will only manage either invoicing or receivables. Subdepartment personnel will never be tasked to manage both invoicing and receivables at any one given time. Separation of duties safeguards and helps promote proper accountability and controls over financial reporting, assets and investments.

Finance sub-departments consist of Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Invoicing, Purchase Orders, Vendor Management, Bookkeeping, Taxes, Payroll, Cash Count and Transfer, Inventory Review, Daily Budget Management, and Account Management. Each sub-department is expected to perform their duties and responsibilities and provide comprehensive reports to their sub-department managers, which will be overseen by top management and officers in the event of reporting errors, the CFO will adhere to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.

FlowHub, our preferred point-of-sale system provider has integration capabilities with QuickBooks, which ensures complete financial information capture and management and reduces the risk of error associated with manual data input. FlowHub features reporting mechanisms that facilitate in accurate financial recordkeeping and reviews. Part of our Financial Plan includes mandatory Financial Audits that will be conducted quarterly by a head office financial control team, and annually by a reputable third-party audit firm such as Marcum Partners.

Financial Plan in Light of Federal Restrictions
The financial and banking restrictions imposed on legal cannabis operators across the country due to federal laws have forced an explosively profitable industry into a vulnerable financial position. Operating as cash-only businesses exposes legal marijuana operators to various threats, such as burglary, robbery, theft and other related criminal activity because they are unable to access basic financial and banking services. Our Company has experienced the direct impact of these restrictions. Our experience legally operating in California has provided us with the opportunity to explore financial and banking options that are not generally entertained by traditional businesses.

Our team of attorneys with our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have performed their due diligence and developed a financial plan that provides legally acceptable financial and banking solutions for our cannabis operations across the country. Upon recommendation of legal experts, financial advisors and our CFO, we have divided our assets in a manner that utilizes a network of operating agreements with management companies, armored car 105
service providers, secure payment processing companies, and smaller, privately insured financial institutions that are willing to work with licensed operators.

As a heavily cash-based transaction business, our initial concern is securing currency on hand from potential theft, burglary, robbery and other related criminal activity. Our solution for managing currency on-site has been to contract an armored car service provider, who provides daily and weekly cash pick-up, drop-off, and storage, until we are ready to bring our cash and currency to a financial institution for safe-keeping. Armored car services enable us to secure our facilities against potential robberies and break-ins and provides secure transportation services that facilitates the timely remittance of local and state taxes.

In order to address banking services and cash deposits for long-term safekeeping and investment, we have had success in securing open accounts with small, privately insured financial institutions, such as credit unions. We continue to reach out to larger FDIC insured financial institutions and hope to one day secure an active account that offers traditional banking services.

Our Company is also working on securing agreements with several secure, payment processors in order to provide secure debit and credit card transaction processing. In an increasingly technology driven world, we understand the need to offer quicker and easier payment solutions to customers who prefer to purchase products on-line or would rather make purchases using their smartphones or debit/credit cards. This opens up our market share to include a younger customer demographic and would decrease the risks posed by having excessive amounts of cash on facility premises.

We also utilize management companies who are able to manage payroll and secure employee benefits. Enlisting the services of a third-party to manage our operations provides us with a legitimate avenue that ensures employees receive their compensation in a timely manner and allows our Company to extend health, dental and vision insurance and other benefits. We will engage a local management company to provide such services.

Currently, there is the SAFE Banking Act that is being reviewed by the Senate. Until the Act is passed, we will continue to explore creative financial and banking solutions that do not jeopardize the legality and compliance of our operations with local and state laws and regulations. In the event that our business requires access to financial services, such as a loan, our industry relations with venture capitalist groups across the country will provide us with the funding it needs for build out, equipment, inventory acquisition and any other financial needs we may have throughout the course of our operations.

Cash Handling Plan
Our Company has successfully implemented a Cash Handling Plan that ensures cash is securely and safely maintained and transported to a financial institution for safekeeping.

Cash Handling begins with the purchase transaction. At the retail facility, a Budtender receives the cash and places it in the safe drop box located beneath the point-of-sale register. These drop boxes are emptied every two (2) hours by the General Manager.

The General Manager removes the cash from the drop boxes and places the cash into a 106
cash bag. The Budtender is then required to print out all transaction receipts from the time the last cash transfer was conducted. These receipts are placed in the cash bag with the currency taken from the drop box and taken into the Main Office. Cash bags with currency and receipts are placed in the Master Vault. The movement of currency from Retail Floor to the Main Office are recorded on security surveillance cameras installed throughout the facility.

At the close of business day, the General Manager and the second most senior employee, usually the Dispensary Manager or the Dispensary Assistant Manager, will conduct the cash counts and receipt audits. Reports are logged onto QuickBooks, which works in tandem with our POS. The retail facility will only be allowed to carry up to 20,000 USD in cash at any one given time (which must be stored in the vault). Once currency reaches this limit, the General Manager will contact the armored car transport provider to schedule a pick-up.

Once the authorized representative for the armored car transport service arrives to the facility, the currency will be removed from the Vault in the Main Office by the General Manager. The Armored Car Provider’s Authorized Representative will receive the cash bags and will be escorted by the armored car transport’s armed security officer back to the armored vehicle. The Authorized Representative will take currency from the retail facility to our Company’s financial institution for safekeeping.

Element 7’s Cash Management Plan is geared towards security and accountability. Its goal is to prevent theft, loss, and diversion, and maintain accuracy and transparency in its cash handling policies and practices. This is enforced in Element 7’s cash handling practices, which are as follows:
• Operator invoices every sale and delivery order via billing module and POS system through Flow Hub
• System automatically records the sale and invoice
• Cash Payments are collected by bud tenders at point of sale and delivery drivers receive cash then drop off into cash safe upon return to facility • Credit card payments are automatically uploaded onto the POS system • At the close of business day, managers print out billing module metrics and POS metrics.
• The manager then counts all cash at the register to compare against the POS metric report. The Manager will also retrieve all cash at the cash drop off safe and will count the cash and compare against the billing module metric report. • Completed cash counts must be logged onto a Cash Count Log and uploaded onto internal drives for record retention purposes.
• Upon completion of the dispensary register and cash drop off safe cash counts, the manager places cash in cash bags ready to be transported to the armored vehicle pick up loading and unloading area.
• Cash exceeding $1,000 will be moved from the point-of-sale register and into the main office by the General Manager.
107
• Cash Logs will be imported onto Zero or QuickBooks to be maintained and used for tax reporting purposes.

Cash Counting/Reconciliation
Daily cash counts and reconciliations will be performed to ensure that all currency and receipts are accounted for. All counts and reconciliations will be performed on video surveillance by the General Manager. A manual report will be completed and then uploaded on the cloud-based data storage system.
• Daily cash counts and reconciliations will be conducted by the General Manager. • Cash counts will be conducted before reconciliations against the point of sale system receipts / records.
• A record of the count and reconciliation will be done prior to closing the facility every day. Only the General Manager will have access to the records and the safe where currency will be stored until it is picked up by our contracted armored vehicle provider’s authorized representative.
• Company policy outlines that all currency received will not be co-mingled to use, pay for, or cover for other invoices, expenses, and outsourced services.

Cash Storage
Element 7 will securely store cash and currency in the main office, which is a secure, limited access area that has a cash drop box, where budtenders take cash accepted during their shift to drop off. Cash and currency will remain in the main office until the scheduled armored vehicle pick up arrives to take it to a financial institution or other off- site location. • All cash will be kept in a safe contained within a limited access area, that only the operations manager/s and facility owner/s will have access to. • The cash safe will meet all local and state requirements. • During business hours, cash will be kept in a register that is accessed through Flowhub.

Cash Collection and Secure Cash Transport
Cash will be collected daily from Element 7 by a State-Licensed cash collection company that will safely transport any cash and coins from Element 7 to a Credit Union in California.

Cash will be collected two (2) times a week from the Facility with pick-up times to be coordinated between the General Manager and the cash collection company on a rolling-forward 2-week schedule.

Our preferred provider is GardaWorld. GardaWorld has offices in 19 locations across California.
108
Cash and Gross Sales Reporting
Transactions and inventory will be monitored internally through FlowHub, the POS system.

The system will track and report inventory, gross sales by weight and sale, and other information and metrics. FlowHub has the capability to produce historical transactional data for review, and several other operational metrics that the Town may request. Element 7 will provide detailed logs and reports to the Town, Bureau, and other governmental agencies upon their request. Reports could include inventory data, gross sales by weight and product type, and other historical transactional data that the Town may require at any given time.

Customer Transactions
All transactions are conducted as cash sales. Many of our peers in the industry accept credit card sales, have elaborate cryptocurrency cash transaction schemes in place, and others have advised the banks they deal with that the transactions are for an alternate business purpose. Unfortunately, none of these schemes and programs are compliant with Federal banking regulations, and we are forced, as an industry, to rely on cash transactions for now.

Element 7 has formed a relationship with FDIC regulated bank and is currently undergoing final auditing and compliance checks – if approved, this would allow us to bank cannabis funds into an FDIC regulated bank, and to possibly offer debit card and merchant services in the near future.

In addition, we install GenMega ATM machines into all of our facilities – GenMega have over 1,000 of these units deployed across North America.

These units store up to $10,000 in cash and are bolted into the floor, with a secondary plate that is welded to the bolts. The ATM is continuously monitored by camera and will be installed within the dispensary.

Cannabis Fees and Taxes
Element 7 will report and remit all sales, use, business, and other applicable taxes, as well as all licensing and registration fees to the Town and the State in a timely fashion. 109
These will be made with direct bank deposits to the relevant government or Town departments.

Patient and Customer Transactions
Cash will be accounted for at the start and finish of each shift by each staff member with access to the cash register for that shift. Staff members with access to the register during their shift will be able to conduct transactions with a swipe card which identifies the transaction operator. A 360 camera will be installed above the cash register to monitor transactions continuously and will have the ability to record facial features.

All transactions will be managed through an industry-leading streamlined cash management POS software system that allows for:
• End-of-shift reporting and cash balancing platform
• Inventory control platform
• Integrated accounting system to monitor sales and costs • Staff management to track employee efficiency and performance • Hard copy or paper free receipts
• Back-office analytics and reporting
• Planning and scheduling
• Full data security (Compliant POS)
Our preferred system is Flowhub – one of the most-used and popular iPad-based POS Systems in the market, which is the first POS system to integrate with METRC. Flowhub is a top-of-the-line compliant management system.

Staff will undergo extensive training on the Flowhub platform before being allowed to handle transactions within the facility. Staff will be required to obtain a PASS score on the Flowhub Training Platform and then twice annually, all staff will be tested to ensure proficiency with the system and the full and latest functionality.

All cash will be moved to a secure, locked, walk-in vault at the end of each shift. A licensed cash management company licensed by the State of California will be contracted to then collect cash each day for transport to Element 7’s Credit Union.

All products will be sold with appropriate exit packaging that is tamper-free, child-proof and does not display the product.
110
Financial Records
Element 7 utilizes a software system (Flowhub) that provides point of sales data that can provide historical transactional information and records for inventory and cash. All sales and inventory data and records are considered financial records and will be maintained on Element 7’s data storage systems.

Financial records also include Element 7’s owner, operator and employee registry that will maintain a current list of names and contact information of individuals owning or holding an interest in Element 7. Financial records also include ledgers, books of business, financial accounts, data and documents related to its commercial cannabis retail activities. All written accounting or cash ledgers, receipts, credit card transactions and reimbursements, including operational expenditures and costs will be maintained for a minimum of three years.

The Town Manager will have access to these records and Element 7 will facilitate any audit or investigation that the Town Manager may perform. Records requested by the Town Manager will be produced and submitted to the Town Manager within 24-hours of his or her request. Any records of loss (financial, data, product) will be immediately notified to the Town Manager and Chief of Police within 24-hours of such discovery.

Annual Filings
Element 7 will comply with the Town’s regulations and will file a sworn statement each year, detailing the number of sales Element 7 conducted during the precious 12-month period.

The statement will include gross sales provided one a per month basis, including gross sales for each month and all applicable taxes paid or due.

Annual Audit
Each owner and operator of Element 7 will submit to a financial audit of the business’ operations that will be conducted by an independent CPA.

External Auditing
A third-party audit, regulation and compliance management team will ensure that all operations are in adherence to both Town and State Laws regarding all aspects of the cannabis operations. Any standards will meet or exceed Town and State Regulations and any changes must be approved by the Head of Regulation and Compliance. Element 7's preferred external audit team is the Marcum Group.

8. Product Deliveries
The Facility will have a dedicated secured loading and unloading area at the left side of the building. This secured loading and unloading area allows for the safe and secure delivery of goods without any disruption.

Delivery vehicles will be instructed to call upon arrival. After the area is secured with no visible threats, the vehicle will be unloaded with all stock to be moved immediately to the secured product storage area inside Element 7. After all checks and balances are completed and all inventory is accounted for as per the Delivery manifest, the storage room will be locked and secured.
111
Element 7 will request that any Distributors that it works with ensure that all deliveries are made to the side of the building during operational hours and that deliveries are made in non-branded vehicles. This Secured Loading Bay adds a further element of safety to the employees of Element 7 and the Delivery company. The Loading Bay will have continuous illuminated lighting and a Panic/duress alarm for Employee Safety.

Preparing Products for Release to Customers (Compliant Exit Packaging) Employees will not release cannabis products purchased by customers unless they have been placed in compliant exit packaging with the appropriate, accompanying educational material. Inventory Management Team employees will be tasked with ensuring that all cannabis products released to the Retail Floor area for customers, are securely placed in the appropriate exit packaging and have the accompanying educational material for the specific products that were purchased by the customer.

9. Disposal and Destruction of Unusable Cannabis and Cannabis Products As a licensed storefront retailer that conducts deliveries, Element 7 will be generating minimal types of waste streams that will be properly segregated, securely stored, rendered unrecognizable and useless and will be hauled by the contracted waste hauler to an authorized waste disposal or transformation facility.

The procedures below apply to expired, contaminated, adulterated, deteriorated, and excess cannabis products.

The types of waste generated at the facility are as follows:
- Organic Material: flower and pre-rolls that have passed their best-by or use-by date - Universal Waste: batteries, light bulbs, electronic devices, etc. - Incineration Waste: edibles, oils, waxes, liquids contained THC, contaminated flower Standard ‘household and non-sensitive’ trash will be placed in trash bins provided by the town (if applicable) or by Element 7. Element 7 will recycle all paper, plastics and greens. Trash will be collected weekly.

With respect to ‘sensitive cannabis trash’, a policy exists to dispose of this material using industry best-practices. As the License Type being operated at the premises is a retail with delivery license type, we do not envision having any significant ‘sensitive cannabis waste products’ to dispose of. The majority of waste in the industry either comes from cultivation or manufacturing (by-products such as stalks, stems, roots, and leaves) or from products that have failed testing protocols.

As a storefront and delivery license operator, all products would be delivered to our premises with testing completed and products already fully packaged. The only products we would then ever need to destroy would be products that have exceeded their ‘useby’ or ‘best-by’ date. Our Inventory Control Manager is responsible for managing all protocols regarding stock management and inventory which would seek to minimize any 112
issues with products expiring.

In the event that products were required to be destroyed, our preferred partner is MediWaste, a company that has over 50-years of medical waste disposal experience.

MediWaste have a full cannabis waste disposal service that leverages the same practices and principles of medical waste. MediWaste has the following permits in place to handle such waste:

DTSC Haz Permit #6300
Motor Carrier Permit #CA 0446205
CHP Hazardous Materials Transport License #228307
RCRA ID # CAR000265140
Weigh Masters License #014137
Products would be placed into a Secured Waste Receptacle provided by MediWaste (see example on left) held within the secured storage room within the Facility which is a secured zone and only accessible by the Inventory Control Manager,
Dispatch Manager, and General Manager (three persons who each access the room with a bio-scan and swipe card), with all destroyed products tracked into our Inventory Management System, with records provided to the Town and State. This room has 24-hour CCTV coverage and the MediWaste Secured Waste Receptacle has a lock system at the top of the waste bin so that products can only be disposed of, with no retrieval possible.

Any ‘disposal’ would require two staff to be present – one to manage the disposal
and one to manage the information and approvals for what is disposed.

For more information: https://medi-waste.com/cannabis-waste/ Quarantine of Products for Destruction
The Inventory Control Manager will store in a secure, locked room any products that are expired, damaged, deteriorated, mislabeled, contaminated, recalled, or whose containers or packaging have been opened or breached. To ensure that defective products will never be returned to regular inventory or sold to patients, the Inventory Control Manager will identify, mark, and place all defective and unsellable products in the pre-determined area for this type of inventory and make the items clearly distinguishable from sellable products. Once ready for destruction, they will be placed in the red MediWaste Bins.

The Secure Storage area will not be visible to patients or customers and will only be accessed by swipe card and biometric scan. The Inventory Control Manager will keep the secure storage area clean, uncluttered, free from dust, debris or pests of any kind. 113
Rendering Cannabis Waste Useless and Unrecognizable Before Disposal All cannabis waste generated at the facility will be rendered useless and unrecognizable by authorized employees within the secure cannabis waste storage area. Cannabis waste is rendered unusable by mixing the waste with at least 51 percent sawdust and between 2-5 percent water. All rendering will be done within the unobstructed view of the security camera within the cannabis waste storage area.

Authorized personnel performing the rendering will clearly indicate the date, time and weight of cannabis waste being rendered unusable.

Cannabis waste in the form of vaporizer cartridges, disposable vaporizer pens, edibles, etc. will first be removed from their packaging before being mixed with water and sawdust.

Once rendering is complete, rendered cannabis waste will be placed in locked waste containers within the secure cannabis waste area until MediWaste is contacted to haul the containers to authorized transformation or disposal facilities.

Accepting Customer’s Returned Cannabis Products
BudTenders will be tasked with accepting cannabis product returns, that will be processed through the point-of-sale system. Returned products will not be re-sold. Rather, these products will be placed in the secure, restricted access Quarantine area and destroyed, in compliance with State Regulations.

10. Security Equipment, Systems, and Hardware
Robust and compliant security systems, equipment, and effective policies and procedures that mirror local, state and federal regulations and requirements are necessary when operating within a regulated cannabis market. Our experience operating licensed and compliant cannabis dispensaries in California has allowed us to develop effective safety and security operating procedures, and establish relationships with leaders in compliance, security systems, security training, equipment manufacturers and licensed security professionals. These relationships extend beyond California and will enable us to source, implement and monitor user-friendly, state-of-the-art security equipment and systems.

Security Equipment, Systems and Procedures
There are six aspects to our security system: layout, perimeter, equipment, alarms, personnel and policy. Our security plans are customized to address unique security and safety issues for each facility, since no two facilities are identical. Our plans also take into consideration the surrounding area and the community’s concerns and prevalent safety and security issues.

Building Security, Monitoring and Safety and Surveillance Element 7 has forecasted in its budget for a range of security hardware, software and human personnel - our goal is to exceed Town and State measures for security compliance and management.

The Security Department is critical to the success and well-being of the facility and has 114
four overarching responsibilities that fulfill the primary role of the department. They are:
● Safeguard cannabis products at every stage, from receipt of the cannabis to its eventual sale;
● Protect the facility property, confidentiality and assets from theft, damage, or acts of vandalism; and
● Maintain a safe and secure environment that ensures the well-being of staff, patients, customers, and visitors.
● Monitor, maintain, and upgrade (as necessary) a comprehensive security system and plan.

Video Surveillance
Security video surveillance is an integral component of dispensary security systems and plans. Being able to record and monitor live footage allows our Company to track and identify individuals that enter our facility, record situations and eventsthat would not have been captured or seen without cameras and allows for law enforcement to access our cameras and monitor our feeds securely. Security cameras also provide an “omniscient” presence that is proven to prevent diversion, deter theft, robbery, loitering, vandalism and other related criminal activities. We have identified the Tyco Exacq camera and recording system as our equipment of choice for this.

Video Camera and Building Surveillance Plan
All video surveillance will be monitored by security personnel from the Central Security Control Room. Security personnel will have direct contact lines to local law enforcement authorities to report any suspicious activities and/or emergency situations. The Police Department or a Department representative will have access to all security video monitoring systems.

Panic/duress alarms will be in multiple locations in the Facility – Lobby, Loading Bay, Central Security Room, Storage Room, and Office. All staff will be trained on the proper use of panic/duress alarms and the processes that follow if a panic/duress alarm is activated. Panic alarms will also automatically notify law enforcement.

Daily surveillance reports are created and stored by the security personnel which are then shared with the General Manager for review. All reports will be available to the Police Chief at any time.

The digital video surveillance system will have a minimum 100' of night vision capability, resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels, 80 pixels per foot and 100 pixels per foot for internal and external targeted viewing areas, record at a minimum of 15 frames per second, and recordings will be HD and in color. Recorded images will clearly and accurately display the time and date. Time will be measured in accordance with the standards issued by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology Additionally, the system will be equipped with a failure notification system that provides notification of any interruption or 115
failure of the system and storage devices.

In the event that our alarm system is down, our keypad will notify us via (sound alert and/or message on the keypad window) indicating that it has a trouble condition for a “failure to communicate” or “phone line fault”. This will require that an Element 7 Manger test the system with the central station prior to scheduling a service call. Testing the system will help us identify whether the problem still exists or whether it was a momentary glitch. If our system keypad indicates that it has lost power, an Element 7 Manager will notify the contracted alarm company that we are conducting a test of the system. If the system does not “reset” a service order will be submitted to the contracted alarm company.

Security cameras will be installed on the property, maintained in good condition, and will provide a clear, unobstructed view of the parking area, all entrances, loading areas, bays, windows and any other areas as determined by the Town. Cameras will be placed in fixed positions that allows clear recording from 20 feet of all points of entry and exit on the premises. Prior to installation, both exterior and interior camera systems will be approved by the Police Chief.

The entire interior and exterior of the Facility will be protected and monitored by 24-hour video surveillance in the Central Security Control Room. Areas that will have security surveillance cameras include all interior spaces within the facility which is accessible to the public (Lobby and Retail Floor), all interior spaces where cannabis, cash or currency is being stored and all interior spaces where diversion could reasonably occur.

Any irregular surveillance video footage would be investigated by the General Manager with the appropriate steps then taken to resolve any issues. Security personnel will have direct contact lines to local law enforcement authorities to report any suspicious activities and/or emergency situations. Daily surveillance reports are created and stored by the security personnel which are then shared with the Head of Security at Element 7 and the General Manager for review.

All regular surveillance will record continuously 24 hours per day and stored on hard disc for a minimum of 90 days. The storage device on which surveillance recordings are stored will be secured in a manner to protect the recording from tampering or theft. The surveillancesystem storage device and cameras will be remote accessible through transmission control protocol (TCP).

The system will be capable of recording video in standard MPEG formats for transfer to another format such as DVD or USB. We will maintain a log of all person(s) who have accessed surveillance recordings—access to recordings are granted to Owners, General Managers and Head of Security.

In addition, all security systems at the site are attached to an uninterruptible power supply that can provide continuous power.
116
Security Camera Placement
Our security cameras will be installed throughout the premises and within the facility. All points of exterior and interior ingress and egress will be monitored, including limited and restricted access areas, such as the reception area, retail floor area, each point-of- sale register, cannabis product and waste storage areas, main office, reinforced vault, break room, count/quarantine room, loading and unloading area, parking lot and the exterior of the facility, including the roof. Cameras will be securely mounted in designated areas of the facility that remain unobstructed. The quality of the images will enable our Company, law enforcement and the Town to obtain clear images, including facial features and licenseplates.

Camera Capabilities
Cameras will have night vision capabilities and be able to record images in high definition at 15 frames per second. The surveillance feed will be accessible via secure web-access that requires specific authorizations and permissions that will be enforced via security code.

State Police will be provided with a security code in order to access surveillance cameras and live feeds, including permissions for reverse functionality.

Cameras will continuously record and monitor the exterior and interior of the facility 24/7.

Supplemental lighting required to ensure proper illumination will be installed throughout the facility where needed to ensure that image and recording quality exceeds standards mandated by law.

Camera capabilities externally will be enabled to read car plates where required for any law enforcement actions required.

Security Surveillance Footage Formatting and Storage
Footage will be maintained on a secure cloud-based data storage system and on a secure physical storage device that will be kept in the Main Office for at least 90-days, unless investigations into diversion, theft, loss, robbery, burglary or other criminal activity requires footage to be maintained for a longer period of time. Synchronized date and time stamps are included in the footage formatting in a manner that does not obscure the images.

All footage will be stored as an MP4 or AVI file and images will be stored and maintained as a .jpeg file. All live streams and recordings can produce clear, still photos. Images from surveillance footage can be exported in industry standard formats including .jpg, .bmp and .gif.

The Main Office will have a photo printer attached to the monitoring system if a clear image needs to be printed for investigations, audits, or at the request of law enforcement or the Town. All recordings will have the ability to be archived in a proprietary format that ensures authentication of the video and can be saved in an industry standard file format capable of being played on a standard computer operatingsystem.

Failure Notification Systems and Back-Up Power
The Security Camera Surveillance system will have back-up power that will be able to 117
maintain continuous recording for up to eight hours. A failure notification system for the security camera surveillance system, that is both audible and visual, will also be deployed.

Telephone calls, text messages and emails will be sent to authorized personnel to alert them of system failures within five minutes of its occurrence. Assessments will be made to the system and malfunctioning equipment immediately after the notification. If assessments determine that policies, procedures and equipment are deficient and/or flawed, Chiefs of Security and Compliance will move to revise existing policies and procedures, develop training that addresses improved policies and procedures and immediately circulate new policies and procedures to staff.

In the event that equipment is found to be problematic and cannot be repaired or replaced immediately, extra security measures will be implemented to support secure facility operations. If extra security measures that are immediately available are not sufficient to support secure facility operations, the facility will be closed immediately, and operations will resume once security equipment has been deemed functional and able to support secure facility operations.

Equipment Inspections, Maintenance and Testing
All surveillance cameras will be inspected daily by security officers. During daily inspections, cameras will be tested via monitor surveillance testing. Inspections include making sure each camera’s view remains unobstructed and recordings are being uploaded to the physical storage device and the cloud-based data system. In the event that a camera’s view is found to obstructed, security officers are authorized to remove the obstruction.

Cameras that are found to be malfunctioning will be replaced or repaired, whichever can be done immediately. When a camera is being replaced or repaired by our contracted security surveillance contractor, supplemental security measures will be deployed to ensure that secure and compliant operations are maintained until the camera is replaced or repaired.

Logs pertaining to security surveillance camera inspections, maintenance and testing will be maintained on file for two (2) years.

Alarm Systems
Part of our comprehensive security system includes professionally installed and maintained alarms that include:
• Panic Buttons: buttons will be placed in the reception, register/check out, main office, locker room, and loading / unloading areas. Delivery vehicles will also be equipped with panic buttons.
• Duress Buttons: buttons will be placed in the reception, register/check out, main office, locker room, and loading/unloading areas.
• Hold-Up Alarm: a hold-up alarm will be placed in the reception and register/check out areas.
• Burglary: a burglary alarm will be connected to the main alarm system. • After Hours: The main alarm system will be engaged between hours of operation.

The alarm will be activated once the facility is closed for the day and de-activated once the facility is opened for regular hours of operation. • Motion Detectors: Motion detectors will be placed in each area of the facility, including the roof.
• Glass Break Detectors: Glass break detectors will be installed at each window.

Intrusion Detection and Alarm System
The facility will operate with a centrally-monitored fire and burglar alarm system that is monitored by an alarm company properly licensed by the State of California Department of Consumer Affairs Bureau of Security and Investigative Services in accordance with California Business and Professions Code Section 7590 et seq. and whose agents are properly licensed and registered under applicable law.

Intrusion Detection devices will be installed at all entry points and motion detectors will be installed to cover all areas of the Facility. A licensed and accredited company will monitor the alarm system and perform a monthly service on the system. The system will be put into 119
test mode and tested at least once a month for any failures. In addition, the alarm system will have an audible interior and exterior alarm system in place.

Alarms will be inspected and tested daily, monthly and semi- annually, by security officers, the Head of Security and our contracted alarm system provider. In the event that alarms fail inspections, operations will be suspended until all alarms are replaced or repaired to good working condition. Inspection, testing and maintenance logs and reports will be maintained for up to two years on our cloud-based data system.

Alarm monitoring will be performed by our contracted licensed alarm monitoring provider.

In the event that an alarm is tripped, the General Manager, Chief of Security and owners will be notified via telephone call, text message and email. In the event that none of the authorized representatives are immediately responsive, local and state police will be notified. For certain alarms, such as panic, duress, hold up and burglary, local and state police will be notified immediately.

Response Protocol for Alarm System Contractor
In the event that the alarm system is triggered, the following will occur:

1. A Dispatch Vehicle from the Alarm Company will be sent to the Facility;

2. The Alarm Company will text and call both Element 7’s Head of Security AND the Facility General Manager;

3. In the event that the Head of Security or the General Manager advise that the Alarm is a False Alarm, the Alarm Company will still attend to the Facility to ensure that no person is being held under duress;

4. In the event that the Head of Security or the General Manager advise that the Alarm is NOT a False Alarm, local law enforcement authorities will be notified;

5. A report of the situation will be logged once the alarm has been resolved.

Testing and Maintenance
Maintenance will be performed in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's recommendations and guidance. Our contracted Alarm System Provider will schedule and track routine maintenance, which they will perform as necessary, or if the systems malfunction. Daily maintenance, via visual inspection will be conducted prior to the opening and closing of the facility by security officers. This type of inspection will focus on identifying cracked housing, frayed or loose wires and evidence of tampering. Monthly inspections will be performed by the Head of Security and will consist of stay-behind tests so that each sensor can be tested for functionality and detection design. Monthly staybehind testing is performed in this manner:
• Head of Security physically opens each door that contains an open/close switch to ensure the alarm is triggered.
120
• Head of Security physically walks and stands in front of motion detection devices in each area of the facility to ensure the alarm is triggered. • Head of Security physically presses all panic/duress/hold-up buttons and wireless devices to ensure alarms are triggered.
• Head of Security will use a Honeywell FG701-Glass Break simulator to activate glass break detectors to ensure that alarms are triggered.
• Head of Security will evaluate if the sensitivity settings on all devices areaccurate.

Required semi-annual inspections and testing will be performed by our contracted alarm provider who will test all sensor points of protection and provide a signed test and certification report.

All logs, reports and certifications will be maintained on our secure, cloud-based data storage system. Any reports requested by the Town or law enforcement will be provided immediately.

Sourced Equipment

Failure Notification Systems and Back-up Power
Each component of our security system will have its own failure notification system and back-up power that will allow the system to run continuously for up to eight hours. The electronic access system, alarm system, security surveillance system and ancillary lighting systems will provide audible and visual failure notifications to authorized personnel, such as the General Manager and Chief of Security when a system or device malfunctions or is shutdown. Audible notification consists of a telephone call, and visual notifications include text messages and emails.
121
There will be an on-site generator that will supply back-up power to these systems. Backup power will be able to support up to eight hours of continuous operation.

10. Site Design: External Security Factors
Perimeter Security: Fencing, Window Tint, Lighting and Landscaping The perimeter of the facility consists of all the outer/exterior areas of the facility on the premises. This includes the parking lot, front exterior portion of the facility and roads, streets and walkways surrounding the premises that could be used by a customer to gain access to the dispensary.

Fencing
The parking lot, which is part of the perimeter of the facility, will be illuminated by parking lot lights that provide sufficient illumination for security cameras that are placed on the exterior of the building and on several parking lot lights. Lights will turn on at sundown and will switch off at sunrise. Parking lot lights are also used to ensure that walkways within the parking area are properly illuminated to prevent customers from injuries and deter loitering, theft and other related criminal activity.

External Facility Lighting
The front and rear of the Facility will be equipped with security lighting as approved by the Town. The entrance and rear of building lighting will be continuously illuminated. Each light will provide at least 1-foot candle intensity.

The Facility will be lit by exterior lighting between the hours of dusk and dawn, 365 days a year. There may be occasions (e.g., inclement weather) when the lights are required to be used during the day, which will be at the judgement of the General Manager. All outdoor lighting used for security purposes will be shielded and downward facing. In any case, we will adjust our external lighting to Lemon Groves guidance.

We will be using LED 4000K Flood Lights supplied by GE. These lights offer 11 years of light life (50,000 hours) and are widely used to illuminate similar buildings in the industry. The LED lighting solution selected considers security and safety requirements, design, energy efficiency (reduced carbon footprint) and a uniform distribution of light (to aid security cameras and minimize ‘dark areas’ which become potential security breaches).

The lights have a die-cast aluminum housing and a slim architectural design that incorporates an integral heat sink and light engine, ensuring maximum heat transfer, long LED life and a reduced Effective Projected Area (EPA). Lights meet 2g Vibration level per ANSI (C136.31 – 2010). The lights are rated at -40 degrees to 50 degrees Celsius and are fully compliant with all industry standards. The lights will be mounted on the building exterior and wired with cable to the building power.

Landscaping
Part of our facility perimeter security policies include landscaping provisions to ensure that any trees, bushes, other foliage or debris on the premises will be removed or maintained in 122
a manner that does not allow for a person to conceal himself or herself fromsight.

Any exterior windows will be tinted with shatterproof tinted film and outfitted with glass break detectors.

Managing Customer and Visitor Access to Various Limited Access Areas Upon entering the facility, customers and visitors will find themselves in the secure Reception Area where a security officer manages the Reception Desk. Customers and visitors will be asked for their government issued identification, which will be scanned and verified by the security officer.

Internal policies dictate that customers wishing to purchase cannabis products on the retail floor area be attended to by a BudTender. One BudTender can only attend to up to two customers at any one given time. This policy ensures that each customer is provided exceptional service and cannabis products and customer flow can be easily managed.

The security officer will ensure that the number of customers in the Retail Area always comply with internal policies and sufficient BudTenders are on the floor to meet these policies. When a customer on the retail floor area completes their purchase and exits the Retail Area, the security officer will buzz-in a customer in the waiting area, based on the order they were checked into the waiting list, to the Retail Area.

This process ensures that customer flow is smooth, and BudTenders are able to monitor and service customers in an efficient manner. Customer accessible limited access areas are controlled via buzz-in features on doors leading into those limited access areas. The security officer in the reception area is the authorized agent who will manage access to these areas, via buzz-in door features.

Door Security
All exterior doors will remain locked and be accessible for operation by employees only, and all windows will be secured against entry from the outside. Exterior doors will be properly equipped with panic hardware as required by all applicable state codes.

All external doors on site will be heavy-duty reinforced security doors. All internal doors will be sealed and heavy-duty interior doors. We use commercial-grade, non-residential locks on all points of entry and exit to the premises in accordance with the approved security plan in accordance with the Lemon Grove Municipal Code. All doors will remain locked from the outside to prevent unauthorized ingress. Ingress will be allowed by means of a remote release operated from within the location.

In all cases, doors will be able to be opened from the inside to allow egress without the use of a key or special knowledge. If installed, access-controlled egress doors will comply with Section 1008.1.3.4 of the California Building Code. Windows and roof hatches will be secured from the inside with bars so as to prevent unauthorized entry and will be equipped with latches that may be released quickly from the inside to allow exit in the event of emergency in compliance with all applicable Codes.

The image below demonstrates the reinforced locks, bio-scan and fob-lock system 123
deployed by Element 7.

Prevention of Adverse Impacts on Adjacent Properties
Trespassing, diversion and illegal activity can occur near, or around, Element 7’s facility, which can include adjacent property. In its commitment to safeguarding the community and neighboring businesses, Element 7 will extend its security sweeps and inspections to include the perimeter of adjacent properties. In the event that suspicious activity is noted on an adjacent property, security personnel have been trained to contact the property or business manager to report the activity.

11. Customer Records Management
Local and State regulations identify the need for record keeping in order to facilitate the successful tracking and tracing of cannabis and cannabis products and cash and currency. Element 7 implements record keeping policies that meet or exceed local and state requirements across all of its operations – all records will be kept for 10 years which exceeds State regulations.

Customer records include the intake records for new patients, primary caregivers and customers, verified government issued identification and physician recommendations, transaction histories, privacy policy acknowledgment and data consent forms, Company policy acknowledgement, and any other data and information collected by Flowhub when a customer or patient makes a purchase at the facility. These records and data will be maintained on a physical media device that is securely stored on-site, as well as on Element 7’s cloud-based storage.

12. Cyber Security Plan
Element 7 implements cyber protection measures across all its facilities. This includes policies and procedures pertaining to Passwords, regular system and application updates, daily data back-up and the monitoring of customer-only WLAN networks. Element 7 has a cybersecurity consultant who will perform regular IT and network maintenance and security sweeps to ensure that its network is not breached.

In order to secure the facility’s networks, the facility will be using both a physical media storage device and a secure, cloud-based data back-up system for all its critical and sensitive data and information. Element 7 will have two separate Wi-Fi networks: one for 124
operations and the other for guests. Element 7’s network is a secure Wi-Fi network that utilizes WPA2 encryption. It can be remotely accessed through a secure VPN by authorized owners and employees. The facility will be outfitted with the necessary firewalls that provide protection against cyber threats.

All measures to secure and protect data and network security protocols will meet UL Standards.

Cybersecurity and Personal Electronic Device Use Policies Cybersecurity ensures that proprietary and confidential information, such as customer records, company data and records and networks are secure at all times. Our Company has contracted a professional cybersecurity professional to develop a cybersecurity plan, source equipment and technology, install, repair, maintain and monitor all cybersecurity devices and systems.

Securing Networks and Cloud Services
Our network will consist of two separate networks: one for employees and customers, and another for confidential customer and Company records and data. We will be using two Virtual Private Networks that are supplemented by strict WIFI and personal electronic device Use policies. Our networks will be separated from the public internet through the use of:
• Strong User Authentication Mechanism
• Policy enforcement Systems: Firewalls and Web Filtering Proxies • Anti-virus Software
• Intrusion Detection Systems
The boundaries of our networks will be evaluated to determine the most efficient types of security controls to secure our data, records and customer confidentiality. Border routers will be configured to only route traffic to, and from, our public IP addresses, and firewalls will be deployed to restrict traffic only to, and from, the minimum set of necessary services.

Intrusion prevention systems will be configured to monitor for suspicious activity crossing our network’s perimeter. For our cloud-based data storage system, we will have back-up and restore services, as well as sophisticated data encryption.

Secure and Encrypted Cloud-Based Data System: Tresorit
Our Company relies heavily on deliberate and secure data encryption and storage technology to protect our data, assets, and the confidentiality of our customers. In order to facilitate secure data storage, we rely on Tresorit. Tresorit provides end-to-end encryption for file sync and sharing through zero-knowledge encryption and cross- platform support.

Based out of Switzerland, where neutrality and data laws are advanced, Tresorit provides cloud-based data storage across multiple compliant Azure Data Centers in the EU, US, Canada and the UK. It is also ISO 27001 certified and complies with GDPR, HIPAA and other security and data protection requirements. The key attributes of Tresorit, which services our need for security and data encryptionare:
125
• Public Key Cryptography: every file on Company-issued devices are encrypted using an Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm using 256-bit keys before files are uploaded to the cloud. This also ensures that files are not decrypted on Tresorit’s servers. Key sharing is based on RSA-4096 with OAEP padding scheme, used in group mode, and PKI certificates, combining it with a tree of symmetric keys. • Zero Knowledge Tech: Not even Tresorit can access files. Only individuals or organizations with permissions to access files will be able to download the file and access the content on the file.
• Client-Side Integrity Protection: Message Authentication Codes are applied to each file uploaded onto the cloud which guarantees that files cannot be modified without our cybersecurity team knowing. Authorized employees with permission to access our Tresorit account/files will be prompted to deploy their Company-issued Message Authentication Code (MAC), which is a key known only to the authorized employee accessing the account, but not with theserver. • Centralized control over Company Data and Records

This system works with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is can be customized to meet specific needs and / or requirements of each facility.

Cloudflare is also ISO27001:2013, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, and PCI DSS 3.2.1 certified.

Virus and Malware: BitDefender
BitDefender is a virus and malware prevention solution that is run on all Company-issued electronic devices at regular, scheduled intervals.
127
Aegis Secure Key Flash Drives
Internal records, files and data, as well as personal information of customers will also be encrypted via built-in 256-bit AES XTS Hardware Encryption through the Aegis flash drive.

This storage device will be maintained on-site, within the Main Office’s secure vault. Access to the files on this device is limited to those authorized individuals with the encryption key, which is needed to decrypt the files. Individuals with such authorization are the owners and the Head of Security.

The Aegis Secure Key can be configured with independent User and Admin PINs, making it an ideal device for corporate and government deployment. Should the User forget his or her PIN, the drive can still be unlocked with the Admin PIN after which, a new User PIN can then be created.

In case data stored on the drive needs to be inspected or audited, the device has two (2) Read-Only Modes, which is ideal for applications that require data to be preserved in its original, unaltered state and can’t be overwritten or modified. One is set by the admin in the admin mode and can’t be modified or disabled by anyone other than the admin.

The second read-only mode can be set and disabled by a user but can also be overridden by the admin as well.

Secure Data Flow Control: Ubiquiti UniFi Switch
The UniFi Switch is for advanced enterprise switching and can securely control data flow. It supports 802.1X authentication, dynamic and static VLAN tagging, Port Isolation, Storm Control and Guest Control.

Passwords and User Authentication
Our systems typically require two-factor authentication, which requires two types of evidence in authenticating user identity. Instead of just using static passwords, our systems will use a combination of system generated passwords and access ID’s that will be issued to employees upon completion of their required training. System generated passwords will be changed periodically and at various intervals.

Encrypted WIFI
The facility will have a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) for the use of customers, visitors and employees. The WLAN will be kept separate from our Company’s network so that public network traffic will never coincide or infiltrate our internal systems. The internal nonpublic WLAN will require unique credentials with preset expiration dates and will utilize Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) encryption.

Since our facility will be processing customer orders from our App and Website, we will secure a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate that ensures all transactions are secure and data remains encrypted.

Systems and Applications Updating
All systems and software, including networking equipment, will be updated in a timely fashion as patches and firmware upgrades become available. Company policy requires the use of automatic updating services whenever possible, especially for security systems 128
such as anti-malware applications, web filtering tools and intrusion preventionsystems.

Safe Web Browsing and Personal Electronic Device Use
Our employee handbook outlines personal electronic device use guidelines that restrict the use and access of cellphones, tablets and laptops while at the facility. Employees will have access to the Public WLAN and will not be allowed to download or stream videos, movies, and music at any time. This policy also covers social media access and use, which instructs employees that they should not be on social media while at the facility. Public WLAN settings restrict the bandwidth of the network which significantly decreases the speed of the network that a customer or an employee can access. This prevents malicious software and intentional breaches to security through compromised devices or browsers from infiltrating the public WLAN.

Safe Use Flash Drive
Our cybersecurity policies include a Safe Use Flash Drive guideline that instructs employees to use only those flash drives that have been issued by the General Manager.

Emails
Email is an integral component of any business. Our Company has developed policies to protect the security and integrity of our email account by enabling email filters and antivirus programs. To protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII), our email account will utilize email encryption. Employees will also be instructed to restrict the use of PII in internal and external emails. To facilitate the transfer of significant data exchanges in a secure manner, we will be using Tresorit, which provides secure and encrypted data exchange.

IT Security Training
A strong IT security program must include training IT users on security policy, procedures and techniques, as well as the various management, operational and technical controls necessary and available to keep IT resources secure. In addition, IT infrastructure managers must have the skills necessary to carry out their assigned duties effectively. Failure to give attention to the area of security training puts an enterprise at great risk because security of business resources is as much a human issue as it is a technology issue.

Employees will be appropriately trained in the proper IT system handling and internal policies and procedures. This includes keeping software and applications updated, proper password usage, data back-up, antivirus protection, and reporting incidents. Employees will also be trained on data that is typically considered sensitive information:
• Government issued identification numbers (socialsecurity numbers, driver’slicense numbers, etc.)
• Financial account information (bank account numbers, credit card numbers) • Salary Information
• Passwords
Training will also cover security policies for accessing and transmission of such data and 129
records, including secure databases, emails, file transfers, encrypted electronic media and hard copies. Data privacy and security related materials, including updates to internal policies and procedures will be disseminated to employees via Company facilitated communication.

13. Preventing Access to Minors
Persons under the age of twenty-one (21) years shall not be allowed into the Facility at any time or for any reason. No person under the age of twenty-one (21) shall be offered any form of work or employment at the Facility. The Facility shall be clearly and legibly posted with a notice that no person under the age of twenty-one (21) years of age is permitted to enter.

All persons entering the facility will be screened, registered, and validated to ensure they are 21 years of age, or older. This will be conducted by:

1. A primary inspection of all government-issued ID Cards by the Security Guard posted at the front door of the premises.

2. A secondary inspection of all government-issued ID Cards by Concierge Staff who will then create an Online Patient Profile with the patient – scanning their license and recording their name, address, phone and email which will then be stored at anoffsite server for HIPAA Compliance. ALL new patients will be required to then complete a 3-part online education form educating them on the potency, absorption speed and effects of cannabis products.

3. A final inspection at the point of purchase of any products. 130

15. Prevention of On-site Consumption
Element 7 will have signage at the entrance of its facility clearly stating that: “NO

SMOKING, INGESTING OR OTHERWISE CONSUMING CANNABIS ON THESE PREMISES OR ON THE AREAS ADJACENT TO THIS FACILITY IS PROHIBITED.” Security personnel have been trained to enforce this policy and approach individuals in violation of this policy.

Element 7 has also trained its budtenders to remind patients and customers to politely remind them of this policy upon completion of their transaction. Roving security personnel will address any situations that involve on-site consumption in the manner in which they were trained during their comprehensive security personnel training program.

16. Security Assessments and Scheduled Audits
A full security assessment has been completed by GSG Protective Services – License #16545. In addition, a scheduled security audit program is implemented to continuously ensure that the security plan is optimized.

Security Plan Policy and Procedure Reviews, Assessments and Updates In order for our operations to consistently exceed industry standards, maintain employee, customer and community safety, and continue to lead industry innovation, Element 7 will perform quarterly Security Plan and Policy assessments and reviews. These assessments will be performed by the Chief of Security, in conjunction with the General Manager, GSG and the Chief of Compliance.

The Chief of Security is responsible for the implementation, supervision, compliance and training of all aspects of our Security Plan on a daily basis.

CITY OF LEMON GROVE

CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT
Item No. 3
Meeting Date: May 2, 2023
Submitted to Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Department: Community Development Department
Staff Contact: Bill Chopyk, Interim Community Development Manager [email protected]
Item Title: Public Hearing to Consider Conditional Use Permit Application CUP-210-0002, a Request to Establish a
Cannabis Dispensary Retail Store at 8290 Broadway in the Heavy Commercial Zone
(APN-499-200-19-00)
Recommended Action:
1) Conduct the Public Hearing;
2) Receive Public Comment; and
3) Adopt a Resolution (Attachment A) finding the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 and conditionally approving Conditional Use Permit CUP-210-0002 to allow a Cannabis Dispensary (CD) Retail Store at 8290 Broadway, Lemon Grove, CA.

Summary: This is a request to establish a recreational and medical cannabis dispensary at 8290 Broadway in the Heavy Commercial (HC) Zone. The proposed project would utilize the existing 2,510 sq. ft. single story commercial building and existing parking lot to be reused as a CD Retail Store. The scope of the project includes interior and exterior remodeling of the existing structure within the same floor area. Site modifications include landscaping, parking lot re-striping, pedestrian access from the parking lot and existing right-of-way, miscellaneous site improvements such as lighting, fencing and security cameras, and right-of-way improvements.

Discussion: The Cannabis Regulations in LGMC Chapter 17.32 allow CDs with an approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in commercial and industrial zoning districts. To be eligible, proposed CD sites must be separated by 1,000 feet from the regulated and CUP-210-0002
May 2, 2023
Page | 2
protected uses described in LGMC Section 17.32.090(B), including CDs, licensed daycare facilities, schools and parks. The proposed project site at 8290 Broadway is approximately 6,000 feet from the nearest operating, or conditionally permitted, or proposed regulated use at 3515 Harris Street. Staff found no evidence of any protected uses, including public parks, playgrounds, licensed day care facilities, schools and alcohol and substance abuse treatment centers as defined in the LGMC within 1,000 feet. Furthermore, the nearest protected use (St. John’s Elementary School) is approximately 1,100 feet from the proposed dispensary site.

Background
On December 9, 2021, the Applicant, Rita Hirmez and Sabah Toma, submitted a Minor Use Permit application (MUP-210-0008) and a CUP application (CUP-210-0001) to operate a cannabis recreational and medical dispensary at 8290 Broadway. MUP-210- 0008 was later withdrawn by the Applicant because another MUP application (MUP-210- 0007) at 8280 Broadway (adjacent property) was approved by City Council on April 5, 2022 (now expired as of April 5, 2023).

On May 10, 2022, CUP-210-0002 at 8290 Broadway was deemed complete. The Applicant waived the sixty-day public hearing time requirement in LGMC 17.28.020 G. 1. to determine whether or not the adjacent CUP at 8280 Broadway would be utilized. A time extension request for CUP-200-0001 at 8280 Broadway was denied by City Council on April 4, 2023. Thus, CUP-200-0001 expired on April 19, 2023. The applicant for 8290 Broadway submitted a MUP application for early separation findings for a CD on April 19, 2023.

Project Description
The proposed project consists of an existing 2,510 sq. ft. single story commercial building and existing parking lot to be reused as a CD Cannabis Retail Store. The scope of the project includes interior and exterior remodeling of the existing structure within the same floor area. Site modifications include landscaping, parking lot re-striping, pedestrian access from the parking lot and existing right-of-way, miscellaneous site improvements such as lighting, fencing, security cameras, and right-of-way improvements. Project Plans are provided (Attachment B).

The project site is a 0.61-acre (26,679 square-feet) lot currently used as an adult entertainment venue “Little Darlings”. The property is located on the southeast corner of Broadway and Monson Drive with approximately 80 feet of frontage on both streets. Both street frontages are unimproved with gravel and asphalt. Monson Drive is a dead-end street located underneath the 94/125 overpass connector.

The space within the 2,510 square-foot one-story building would be reconfigured with an eastern front entry into a lobby and another entry into the dispensary from the lobby.

CUP-210-0002
May 2, 2023
Page | 3
There is a separate northern entry for employees and deliveries. The existing awnings and shade structure would be removed. The existing exterior stucco walls would be painted white, grey, and dark grey. A 3’-2” by 12’-2” (38 sq. ft.) wall mounted sign is proposed on the south elevation facing Broadway.

Site improvements include new sidewalk, curb and gutter with three new Crepe Myrtle street trees along the Broadway frontage. Two new driveways would provide access to the site from Broadway, one-way in and one-way out. The parking lot planters would be reconfigured, and landscaping expanded to provide new planting areas in the rear, sides and front of the site. The impervious surface area of the site would be decreased by 1,788 sq. ft. New landscaping would provide additional planted areas to increase the total landscaped area from 2,055 sq. ft. to 3,843 sq. ft. (14% of total lot area). The existing 6 ft. tall chain link fencing would remain along the sides and rear of the site. Exterior wall lights and parking lot light poles are proposed for lighting the entire site, as shown on the photometric plan (Sheet EO.1).

Land Use Analysis
The subject property has a Lemon Grove General Plan land use designation of General Business and a zoning designation of HC, Heavy Commercial. According to the General Plan, this land use designation is planned for professional office, wholesale business, research and development, high technology production, and sales. CDs are authorized with a CUP in commercial zoning districts, including the HC zone, according to LGMC Section 17.32.090(A).

The General Plan establishes a maximum density of 1.2 Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in the General Business designation. The applicant proposes to maintain the existing 0.09 FAR, well below the maximum allowable FAR. No cultivation, manufacturing, processing, or delivery services are proposed with the CUP application. Site alterations and improvements including new landscape, lighting, signage, and access and parking area improvements are incorporated into the CUP application.

Operations Manual
The application for a CUP for a cannabis dispensary shall include a detailed Operations Manual under LGMC Section 17.32.090 C. 6. The operations manual must include the following information:
a. Authorization for the city, its agents and employees, to seek verification of the information contained within the application;
b. A description of the staff screening process including appropriate background checks;
c. The hours and days of the week the dispensary will be open; d. Text and graphic materials showing the site, floor plan and facilities of the dispensary. The material shall also show adjacent structures and land use; CUP-210-0002
May 2, 2023

e. A description of the security measures located on the premises, including, but not limited to, lighting, alarms, and automatic law enforcement notification; f. A description of the screening, registration and validation process for qualified patients;
g. A description of qualified patient records acquisition and retention procedures;
h. The process for tracking cannabis quantities and inventory controls employed, including the source of cannabis (on-site cultivation, processing, or plant material, or processed products, received from outside sources); i. Procedures to ensure accurate record keeping, including protocols to ensure that quantities purchased do not suggest re-distribution; and j. Other information required by the manager of the community services department.

The Operations Manual (Attachment C) submitted by the Applicant contains all of the above information. The proposed hours of operation are 6AM-10PM seven days per week.

Development Standards
LGMC Section 17.16.080(G) outlines basic standards which are applicable to all land and structures in the HC Zone. The following table compares those standards to the site conditions at the subject address. The proposed project is in compliance with all basic development standards.

Standard Required Proposed
Min. Lot Area 10,000 square feet 26,679 square feet
Front Yard Setback 20 feet min. 28.5 feet
Side Yard Setback None (0 ft.) 20 feet
Rear Yard Setback None (0 ft.) Approx. 125 feet
Maximum Building Height 30 feet 12 feet
Max. Building Coverage 40% 9%
Landscaped Area 10% 14%
Parking 6 spaces 34 spaces
Compact Parking 75% 24%
Parking
The Lemon Grove parking requirement for retail/business is one parking space per 500 square feet of floor area (LGMC 17.24.010). Thus, six parking spaces is the minimum amount of parking required. The proposed project provides 34 parking spaces including two disabled spaces. This is ample off-street parking for customers, employees and deliveries. The layout of the 34 on-site parking spaces (Sheet C-2) provides angled parking similar to the existing diagonal parking layout. The parking stalls have been CUP-210-0002
May 2, 2023
Page | 5
reconfigured to comply with the LGMC off-street parking regulations. The parking area accommodates a 13 foot one-way drive aisle and 9 foot by 19 foot parking stalls with wheel stops as required by the Space and Access Dimensions in LGMC Section 17.24.010(F) for parking dimensions. The Engineering site plan shows eight compact spaces (24% of total parking spaces). The plans do not show bicycle parking; however, staff recommends conditioning the project to provide a bicycle rack or other storage device for bicycle parking. Section 17.24.010(G) requires one bicycle space per ten required vehicle parking spaces.

Traffic
A traffic and parking analysis letter from Urban Systems Associates, Inc. dated 12/09/2021 shows an increase in Average Daily Trips (ADT) from 402 ADT with the current use to 578 ADT with the proposed use. The 176 ADT increase in trip generation would be spread over a 24-hour period with less than 50 peak hour directional trips occurring at any signalized intersection in the vicinity of the project. No additional analysis of traffic conditions is recommended. The Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis concludes that local-serving retail projects are presumed to have less than significant VMT impacts for a building of less than 50,000 sq. ft. This project falls well short of the threshold and would generally be considered “locally serving” which reduces VMT, no further VMT analysis is necessary.

Street Improvements
Off-street parking regulations, specifically Section 17.24.010(H), also require the installation of city standard street improvements along abutting streets as part of all discretionary permit application. LGMC Chapter 12.10 requires street dedication and street improvements with building permits that exceed $25,000 in value. The Engineering Division has provided a list of preliminary conditions related to street improvements and are included in the City Council resolution conditions.

Loading
According to LGMC Section 17.24.020(B)(8), the CDM may determine loading requirements for unlisted uses, such as CDs, based upon the particular characteristics of the use. Deliveries from licensed cannabis distributors to the dispensary are not anticipated to occur in vehicles that require large, designated berths and therefore one is not provided. A condition of approval requires review of loading by the CDM prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Landscaping
The Lemon Grove Water Efficient Landscape Regulations in Chapter 18.44 of the LGMC require discretionary applications to provide a conceptual landscape plan that conforms to both the Zoning Ordinance and the aforementioned landscape regulations.

Landscaping requirements and the proposed landscape for the project are as follows:

CUP-210-0002
May 2, 2023

Standard Required Provided
Min. 10% Landscape Area 10% (2,668 sq. ft.) 14 % (3,843 sq. ft.) Min 25% Planted
Landscape
25% (667 sq. ft.) 75% (2,898 sq. ft.)
(irrigated landscape area)
Required On-Site Trees 4 13
Required Street Trees 3 3
Screening
The cannabis regulations in Chapter 17.32 do not require on-site fencing. The project plans do not show any fencing on the Broadway frontage. The existing 6-foot perimeter chain link fencing would remain.

Two existing rooftop HVAC units would remain in their central location on the roof. The parapet wall provides some screening of the HVAC units. LGMC Section 17.24.050(E)(10) requires such units to be screened from the level of adjacent streets and walks while Section 17.24.040(C)(1) limits this screening, and any other rooftop appurtenance, to less than eight (8) feet in height. Screening of rooftop HVAC equipment is included as a condition in the city council resolution.

Trash
A trash refuse enclosure is proposed that is conditioned to meet current storm water requirements. Storm water review of the construction drawings, and inspections, ensure that the trash enclosure will have a permanent waterproof roof and be fully screened to prevent rainfall contact and wind dispersion of trash.

Lighting and Security
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles encourage all exterior areas to be adequately lit. Exterior and interior security lighting and security cameras are included in the operations manual and project plan set. Review of detailed security lighting plans will occur as part of the building permit for the project. In addition, LGMC Section 17.24.080 requires light fixtures to be maintained and adjusted to direct light away from adjacent streets and properties so as to prevent nuisance conditions.

Signage
Pursuant to sign ordinance Section 18.12.040(C), commercial uses are generally permitted up to three signs. The total allowable sign area permitted is 20% of the dispensary building wall facing Broadway, or approximately 96 sq. ft. The proposed signage consists of one 38 sq. ft. wall mounted sign on the south elevation facing Broadway. The existing billboard on the northwest corner of the site would remain, and is not considered part of the signage for the proposed project.

Conclusion:

The city council must make the following findings as stated in LGMC Section 17.28.050 in order to approve any conditional use permit application:

1. The use is compatible with the neighborhood or the community;

2. The use is not detrimental to the health, safety, convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity;

3. The use complies with performance standards according to Section 17.24.080;

4. The use is consistent with applicable provisions of the particular zoning district and with policies and standards of the general plan.

Section 17.32.080 also requires the decision making authority consider:

5. Whether the approval of the proposed use will violate the minimum requirements set forth in chapter 17.32 for distance separations between establishments which dispense, process or cultivate cannabis; and separations between establishments which dispense, process or cultivate cannabis and other specific regulated or protected land uses as set forth in chapter 17.32; and

6. Whether the proposed use complies with Title 17 of the Lemon Grove Municipal Code.

Staff believes that the required findings can be made in the affirmative and that required considerations were duly considered provided the conditions in the city council resolution of approval are observed. The application materials as presented and the corresponding conditions incorporate and reflect input from all City divisions, including: Building, Engineering, Heartland Fire & Rescue, Planning, Sheriff’s Crime Prevention Unit, and DMax Engineering, the City’s stormwater consultant.

This CUP is valid for one year, and will expire one year after approval of the CUP, unless extended by the city council prior to the one-year expiration date.

Environmental Review:

Not subject to review Negative Declaration
Categorical Exemption, Sections 15301 Mitigated Negative Declaration The project as proposed is categorically exempt from the environmental review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 “Existing Facilities” of the CEQA Guidelines.

The Class 1, Section 15301 Existing Facilities exemption consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination. This CUP would allow the operation of a CD in an existing structure in an urbanized area and involves no expansion of existing floor area. This request is lesser in CUP-210-0002
May 2, 2023
Page | 8
scale than the examples of Class 1 exemptions in the CEQA Guidelines, including those for additions resulting in a 50% increase in floor area up, to a maximum of 2,500 squarefeet, and demolition of multifamily residential structures up to six (6) dwelling units in urban areas.

The CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 exceptions to categorical exemption use do not apply to the project. The subject property is within a built-out urban environment thus limiting potential for cumulative effects from successive projects and avoiding impacts to General Plan identified biological habitats or environmental resources of hazardous or critical concern. The project does not involve any other unusual circumstances that could potentially have a significant effect on the environment. The project site is not a hazardous waste site nor is it identified as such in any “Cortese List” including the DTSC EnviroStor database and State Water Resources Control Board GeoTracker tool. No impacts to scenic highways will occur as State Route 94 is not designated as, nor identified as eligible to be, a CalTrans scenic highway along city limits. Historic resources will not be impacted as the project site is not included in the San Diego County Historic Properties Data File nor the Lemon Grove Historical Society List of Historic Properties as referenced in the Lemon Grove General Plan Conservation and Recreation Element.

Fiscal Impact: No fiscal impact is associated with the approval of the CUP. Future sales of medical and recreational marijuana would generate additional sales tax and cannabis revenue to the City of Lemon Grove.

Public Notification: On April 21, 2023, the Notice of Public Hearing for this item was published in the East County Californian and was mailed to all property owners within 1,000 feet of the subject property. Staff verified the presence of the public notice sign required by LGMC Section 17.28.020(F)(2) on April 20, 2023. The City of Lemon Grove did not receive any comments in response to the Notice of Public Hearing at the time this staff report was written. Staff will provide the City Council with any comments received after publication of this staff report.

Staff Recommendation:

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LEMON GROVE,

CALIFORNIA, FINDING THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA PURSUANT TO SECTION 15301 AND CONDITIONALLY APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP-210-0002, A REQUEST TO ALLOW A CANNABIS DISPENSARY AT 8290 BROADWAY, LEMON GROVE, CALIFORNIA.

WHEREAS, the California voters approved Proposition 215 in 1996 to ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use cannabis for medical purposes and to encourage elected officials to implement a plan for the safe and affordable distribution of medicine; and
WHEREAS, in 2003, the California State Legislature adopted Senate Bill 420, the Cannabis Program Act, to clarify and further implement Proposition 215 in part by authorizing patients and Primary caregivers to associate within the State of California in order to collectively or cooperatively cultivate cannabis for medical purposes; and WHEREAS, in 2015, the California State Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 243, Assembly Bill 266, and Senate Bill 643, collectively known as the Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, to establish a statewide regulatory framework and establish the Bureau of Cannabis Regulation for the regulation of cannabis activity occurring in jurisdictions across California; and
WHEREAS, on November 8, 2016, voters in the City of Lemon Grove passed Measure V, an initiative removing the City's prohibition of cannabis dispensaries and establishing performance standards and a permit process by which cannabis dispensaries (CDs) may be established, which is codified as Chapter 17.32 in the Lemon Grove Municipal Code (LGMC); and
WHEREAS, LGMC Section 17.32.090(B) establishes the distance requirements between dispensaries (including CDs) as a regulated use and protected land uses, including public parks, playgrounds, licensed day care facilities, schools and alcohol and substance abuse treatment centers as defined in the LGMC; and WHEREAS, on December 9, 2021, Rita Hirmez and Sabah Toma (Applicant) filed Conditional Use Permit application CUP-210-0002, a request stablish a CD Cannabis Retail Store at 8290 Broadway in the Heavy Commercial Zone, and on May Attachment A

10, 2022 Community Development Department staff found the application complete; and
WHEREAS, The Applicant waived the sixty-day public hearing time requirement of LGMC 17.28.020 G. 1.; and
WHEREAS, Notice of the Public Hearing was given in compliance with Lemon Grove Section 17.28.020(F). On April 21, 2023, the Notice of Public Hearing for CUP210-0002 was published in the East County Californian and mailed to all property owners within 1,000 feet of the subject property. Staff confirmed the presence of the required on-site public notice sign on April 11, 2023; and WHEREAS, the proposed project is categorically exempt from the environmental review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Existing Facilities; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance includes street improvement requirements per LGMC Chapter 12.10 and Section 17.24.010 (H). A clear nexus is made to require street improvements because: 1) this is the highest and best use of the property from a revenue standpoint; 2) the proposed use is higher intensity than typical retail uses and was not analyzed as a part of the General Plan Master Environmental Impact Report; 3) cannabis dispensary means persons with disabilities are likely to need access to the facility via vehicles or as a pedestrian or bicyclist; and 4) sidewalk and street improvements are largely supported by the General Plan Health & Wellness Element, Community Development Element, and Mobility Element policies; and WHEREAS, this permit does not excuse any owner or operator from complying with all applicable federal, state, county or local laws, ordinances or regulations. The owner or operator is required to determine if another permit or approval from any other agency or department is necessary. The City, by issuing this permit, does not relinquish its right to enforce any violation of law; and WHEREAS, on May 2, 2023, City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider Conditional Use Permit application CUP-210-0002; and Attachment A

WHEREAS, the City Council determined that the following findings of fact can be made as required by LGMC Section 17.28.050(C):

1. The use is compatible with the neighborhood or the community; LGMC Chapter 17.32 is the product of a 2016 citizen's initiative, Measure V, which explicitly authorized Cannabis Dispensaries as a conditionally permissible land use. The proposed project is compatible with the community insofar as it is consistent with Chapter 17.32, which was codified at the direction of Lemon Grove voters. The design of the proposed use is compatible with surrounding properties and uses by orienting the entrance generally towards the parking lot with ample parking, landscaping and security lighting.

2. The use is not detrimental to the health, safety, convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity;
LGMC Chapter 17.32 is the product of a 2016 citizen’s initiative, Measure V, which explicitly authorized Cannabis Dispensaries as a conditionally permissible land use. The Lemon Grove General Plan adopted in 1996 did not contemplate Cannabis Dispensaries as a land use nor were the specific environmental impacts assessed pursuant to CEQA. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan as a consequence of LGMC Chapter 17.32, which was codified at the direction of Lemon Grove voters. The proposed project as designed and conditioned avoids potential detriments to the health, safety, convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity.

3. The use complies with performance standards according to Section

17.24.080;
The proposed project replaces an existing commercial facility and would result in a reduction of 1,788 square feet of impervious surface area. No expansion of the existing floor area of the commercial building would occur. With the security measures outlined in the Operations Manual, the project would not create nuisances, hazards, or dangerous or objectionable effects from the operation of the proposed CD. The project site is located approximately 600 feet away from Attachment A
CUP-210-0002
May 2, 2023
Page | 12
the nearest residential zone and would not create undesirable impacts on residential neighborhoods.

4. The use is consistent with applicable provisions of the particular zoning district and with policies and standards of the general plan; LGMC Chapter 17.32 is the product of a 2016 citizen's initiative, Measure V, which explicitly authorized Cannabis Dispensaries as a conditionally permissible land use. The proposed project is compatible with provisions of the Heavy Commercial zone insofar as it is consistent with Chapter 17.32 which was codified at the direction of Lemon Grove voters. The Lemon Grove General Plan adopted in 1996 did not contemplate Cannabis Dispensaries but the project is consistent with the General Plan as a consequence of voter approval of Measure V.

WHEREAS, LGMC Section 17.32.080 also requires City Council to consider the following with the required Conditional Use Permit findings:

A. Whether the approval of the proposed use will violate the minimum requirements set forth in LGMC Chapter 17.32 for distance separations between establishments which dispense, process or cultivate cannabis; and separations between establishments which dispense, process or cultivate cannabis and other specific regulated or protected land uses as set forth in LGMC Chapter 17.32.

The proposed location for a CD Cannabis Retail Store at 8290 Broadway is located approximately 6,000 feet from the nearest operating, or conditionally permitted, or proposed regulated use at 3515 Harris Street. Staff found no evidence of any protected uses, including public parks, playgrounds, licensed day care facilities, schools and alcohol and substance abuse treatment centers as defined in the LGMC within 1,000 feet. Furthermore, the nearest protected use (St. John’s Elementary School) is approximately 1,100 feet from the proposed dispensary site.

B. Whether the proposed use complies with Title 17 of the Lemon Grove Municipal Code.
