Staff Report
DATE: May 14, 2007
TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: James R. Troyer, AICP, Planning Director
BY: Tabe van der Zwaag, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: VARIANCE - DRC2007-00871 - MDS CONSULTING - A request to reduce the lot
area average requirement for an approved 56-lot subdivision (SUBTT17651) from
25,000 square feet to 24,985 square feet in order to construct a public street for a
site located on the south side of Banyan Street and west of East Avenue -
APN: 0225-191-12. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the, City adopted a Mitigated
Negative Declaration on August 9, 2006, in connection with the City's approval of
Tentative Tract Map SUBTT17651. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162,
no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in
connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project.
PROJECT AND SITE DESCRIPTION:
A. Surroundino Land Use and Zoning:

East -Very Low Residential; Vacant
West -Very Low Residential; Existing
Land

Residential, Christmas Tree Farm, Vacant Land
B. General Plan Designations:

C. Site Characteristics: The 41-acre vacant site is surrounded by undeveloped land to the
north (across Banyan Street); to the south and east by a combination vacant land, a
Christmas tree farm; and to the west, by existing residences. The parcel has sparse
vegetation and mature Eucalyptus trees and drains roughly from north to south.
ANALYSIS
A. Background: The original 56-lot subdivision (SUBT'I'17651) was approved on
August 9, 2006. The Resolution of Approval included an Engineering Department
ITEM A
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

condition which stated that the applicant must make a "good-faith-effort" to obtain land
from the neighboring property owners in order to construct a public street. The applicant
made an offer to purchase the land in question from the neighboring property owners and
the offer was declined. The applicant redesigned the project to have the street
right-of-way encroach on a portion of two of the newly subdivided lots. This change
reduced the overall lot area average by 15 square feet, which brought the project below
the required 25,000 square feet lot average and necessitated this Variance request. Upon
submittal to the City, staff required that the applicant have a licensed real estate appraiser
evaluate the "fair-market" value of the land in question to verify that the applicant had
made a "good-faith" offer. First American Commercial Real Estate services, Inc.
appraised the land on March 6, 2008, for an amount higher than the original offer. The
applicant made a new offer for the property at the appraised value and the property
owners again declined the offer.
u
B. Variance: The applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the required 25,000 square
foot area average requirement by 15 square feet to 24,985 square feet in order to
construct a public street. The lots will continue to meet all other City development
standards. The change in the street alignment will affect the width of Lots 22 and 23 of
the approved Tentative Tract Map, though both lots will continue to meet City development
standards. Staff believes the requested deviation from the City's lot area average
requirement, at less than 1 percent below the 25,000 square foot requirement, is so
minimal that the approved subdivision continues to meet the intent of the development •
district in which the site is located.
FACTS FOR FINDINGS: The purpose of a variance is to provide flexibility from the strict
application of the development standards when special circumstances pertaining to the
property such as size, shape, topography or location deprives such property of privileges
enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and in the same district. In order to grant a
request for a variance, the Planning Commission must make a series of findings.
Generally, these findings focus on unique or special circumstances applicable to a specific
property. Following are facts to support the necessary findings:
Findin That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship
inconsistent with the objective of this Code.
Fact: The objective of the 25,000 square foot average lot area requirement is to
create low density residential areas with lots that are of a size and proportion suitable
for keeping horses. Each of the proposed lots exceeds the City's requirements for
keeping horses. Without a reduction in the lot area requirement, the applicant would
have to reduce the total number of lots, which would place a physical hardship on the
applicant that would be inconsistent with the objectives of the Development Code.
2. Finding: That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the property involved or the intended use of the property that do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zone. •
A-2
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
DRC2007-00871 - MDS CONSULTING
• MAY 14, 2008

Fact: The site is bordered by an existing residential development which dictates the
alignment of the public street that accesses the site and necessitates that the street
jog over a portion of two of the applicant's lots, reducing the lot area average by
15 square feet.
3. Finding: That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties in same zone.
Fact: Without the Variance the applicant would be required to redesign the 41-acre
56-lot subdivision in order to increase the average lot area by 15 square feet, a
negligible amount considering the size and scope of the development.
4. Finding: That the granting of the Variance will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same
zone.
Fact: The proposed lots will exceed the minimum depth and width and lot area
requirements of the Very Low Residential District.
5. Findin The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health,
• safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the
vicinity.
Fact: The newly created lots will be indistinguishable from the other lots in the same
development district other than being an average of 15 square feet smaller in size
than the 25,000 square foot lot average requirement.
Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative
Declaration on August 9, 2006, in connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract
Map SUBTT17651. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or
supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent
discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed
to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial
changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously
reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new important
information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously
considered; or (iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or
different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. Staff has
evaluated the Variance and concludes that substantial changes to the project or the
circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred which would create new or more
severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. In
that the applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the City's 25,000 square foot lot area
average requirement for the subject zoning area by 15 square feet, in order to construct a
• public street. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant
effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more
A-3
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT

MAY 14, 2008
Page 4
severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation
measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of
less-than-significant. In that the Variance will not change the size or scope of the project
and will only effect the alignment of a public street. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA, staff
recommends that the Planning Commission concur with the staff determination that no
additional environmental review is required in connection with the City's consideration of
the variance.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was re-advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Valley
Daily Bulletin newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property
owners within a 660-foot radius of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Variance
DRC2007-00871 through the adoption of the attached Resolution of Approval with conditions.

order to construct a public street. The applicant made an offerto purchase the land in question from
the neighboring property owners and the offer was declined. The applicant redesigned the project
to have the street right-of-way encroach on a portion of two of the newly subdivided lots. This
change reduced the overall lot area average by 15 square feet, which brought the project below the
required 25,000 square foot lot average and necessitated this variance request; and
. d. Upon submittal to the City, staff required that the applicant have a licensed real
estate appraiser evaluate the "fair-market" value of the land in question to verify that the applicant

had made a "good-faith" offer. First American Commercial Real Estate services, Inc. appraised the
land on March 6, 2008, for an amount higher than the original offer. The applicant made a new offer
for the property at the appraised value and the property owners again declined the offer; and
e. The applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the required 25,000 square foot lot
area average requirement by 15 square feet to 24,985 square feet in order to construct a public
street. The lots will continue to meet all other City development standards. The change in the street
alignment will affect the width of Lots 22 and 23 of the approved Tentative Tract Map, though both
lots will continue to meet City development standards. Staff believes the requested deviation from
the City's lot area average requirement, at less than 1 percent below the 25,000 square foot
requirement, is so minimal that it continues to meet the intent of the development district in which
the site is located.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the
above referenced public hearing, and upon the specific findings of facts set forth in Paragraphs 1
and 2 above, this Commission hereby finds and concludes as follows:
•
a. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulations
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives
of the Development Code. In that, the objective of the 25,000 square foot average lot area
requirement is to create low density residential area with lots that are of a size and proportion
suitable for keeping horses. Each of the proposed lots exceeds the City's requirements for keeping •
horses. Without a reduction in the lot area requirement, the applicant would have to reduce the total
number of lots, which would place a physical hardship on the applicant that would be inconsistent
with the objectives of the Development Code.
b. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable
to the property involved or to the intended use of the property that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same district. In that, the site is bordered by an existing residential development
which dictates the alignment of the public street that accesses the site and necessitates that the
street jog over a portion of two the applicant's lots, reducing the lot area average by 15 square feet.
c. That strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. In
that, without the variance the applicant would be required to redesign the 41-acre 56 lot subdivision
in order to increase the average lot area by 15 square feet, a negligible amount considering the size
and scope of the development.
d. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. In that, the
proposed lots will exceed the minimum depth and width and lot area requirements of the Very Low
Residential District.
e. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. In that, the newly
created lots will be indistinguishable from the other lots in the same development district other than
being on average 15 square feet smaller in size than the 25,000 square foot lot average •
requirement.

4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all
written and oral reports included forthe environmental assessment for the application, the Planning
Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and
approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA")and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration in August 9, 2006, in
connection with the City's approval of Tentative Parcel Map SUBTT17651. Pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required
in connection with subsequent discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial
changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment;
(ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously
reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new important information
shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or (iv)
additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures
can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the variance, that substantial
changes to the project orthe circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred which would
• create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative
Declaration. In that, the applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the City's 25,000 square foot
lot area average requirement for the subject zoning area by 15 square feet in order to construct a
public street. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not
discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than
previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce
the impacts of the project to a level ofless-than-significant. In that, the variance will not change the
size or scope of the project and will only effect the alignment of a public street.
c. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission
concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to
CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of the variance.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 above,
this Commission hereby approves the application subject to each and every condition set forth
below and in the Standard Conditions, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
Planning Department
1) All the Standard Conditions and Special Conditions included with the

ANALYSIS
A. General: The applicant proposes to subdivide the subject property into two parcels of 2 acres and
2.77 acres (Parcels 1 and 2, respectively) and then to construct two buildings totaling
44,410 square feet on Parcel 1 (Building A) and 60,606 square feet on Parcel 2 (Building B). The
buildings are speculative at this time, but as typical for these types of buildings, small offices are
included. The office area will be located along the southeast corner of each building. The dock
loading/storage area for each building will be located in a common area between the buildings.
There will be two points of access -one via Hermosa Avenue and another via 6th Street. There
will be an additional access point from Hermosa Avenue for emergency purposes. Access to the
loading/storage area will be via the driveway at Hermosa Avenue. Building A and Building B will
have 50 and 61 spaces, respectively, for a combined 111 parking stalls for employees and
customers. This quantity exceeds the minimum parking requirement for the site (Exhibit D).
Landscape coverage is 14.9 percent; the minimum requirement is 7 percent for this development
district (Exhibit I).
B. Tentative Parcel Mag SUBTPM18872: In conjunction with this application, the applicant proposes
to subdivide the property into two parcels (Exhibit E). Each building will be constructed on its own
parcel. The proposed map complies with the City's design and development standards.
C. Grading and Technical Review Committees: The Grading Review Committee (Addington and
James) reviewed the application on April 1, 2008. The Committee accepted the application and
recommended approval. Their conditions have been incorporated into the Resolution of Approval.
• D. Design Review Committee: The Committee (Stewart, Munoz, and Nicholson) reviewed the project
on April 1, 2008 (Exhibit J). The Committee was generally satisfied with the submittal and
recommended approval of the project subject to the applicant revising the site design and
architecture of each building. Their revisions include incorporating a "reverse" chamfered cornice
along the top of the majority of the parapet of each building, adding the "checkerboard" patterned
reveals/score lines to all publicly visible tower insets, and adding more glazing on the building
elevations facing the streets. They have also provided decorative paving at the 6th Street
driveway. The Committee's conditions have been incorporated into the attached Resolution of
Approval.
E. Environmental Assessment: The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is
categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
the City's CEQA Guidelines. The project qualifies as a Class 32 exemption under State CEQA
Guidelines Section 15315 Minor Land Divisions as the project proposes the subdivision of one
parcel into two parcels, and Section 15332 In-Fill Development Projects as the project site is
,surrounded on all sides by existing industrial development.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM18872 and
Development Review DRC2007-00696 through the adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval
with conditions.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DRC2007-00696 - 6TH &
HERMOSA JP/DF, LLC - A request to construct two industrial warehouse/office buildings with a
combined floor area of about 100,000 square feet on a parcel of about 4.87 acres in the General
Industrial (GI) District, Subarea 5, located at 9212 Hermosa Avenue - APN: 0209-211-41. Related file:

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM18872 - 6TH &
HERMOSA JP/DF, LLC - A proposal to subdivide a property of 4.87 acres in conjunction with a request
to construct two industrial warehouse/office buildings with a combined floor area of about 100,000 square
feet in the General Industrial (GI) District, Subarea 5, located at 9212 Hermosa Avenue -
APN: 0209-211-41. Related file: Development Review DRC2007-00696.
Design Parameters: The project site is a rectangular parcel of about 627 feet (north-south) by 338 feet
(east-west). The site is vacant and is dominated by short grasses, shrubs, and a grouping of trees. The
property is bound on the east by Hermosa Avenue and on the south by 6th Street. To the north is a
large warehouse distribution building of about 400,000 square feet and to the west is an office complex
consisting of four buildings of 20,000 square feet each. Across the streets to the south and east,
respectively, are a large warehouse distribution building of about 400,000 square feet and an
.office/warehouse complex consisting of six buildings of various sizes. The zoning of the property and all
surrounding properties is General Industrial (GI) District, Subarea 5. The subject property is generally
level with an elevation at the north and south sides of about 1,078 feet and 1,069 feet, respectively.
The applicant proposes to construct two warehouse distribution buildings of 42,410 square feet (Building
A) and 62,606 square feet (Building B). The buildings are speculative at this time, but, as typical for
these types of buildings, small offices are included. The office area will be located along the southeast
corner of each building. The dock loading/storage area for each building will be located in a common
area between the buildings. There will be two points of access -one via Hermosa Avenue and another
via 6th Street. There will be an additional access point from Hermosa Avenue for emergency purposes.
Access to the loading/storage area will be via the driveway at Hermosa Avenue. Building A and Building
B will have 50 and 61 spaces, respectively, for a combined 111 parking stalls for employees and
customers. This quantity exceeds the minimum parking requirement of for the site. Landscape coverage
is 14.9 percent; the minimum requirement is 7 percent for this development district.
The proposed buildings will be of concrete tilt-up construction painted with a palette of five different
colors. An additional primary material will be sandblasted concrete while a secondary material will be
glass panels. Key features include tower elements that project beyond the primary wall plane and above
the edge of the primary parapet at all four corners and at the midpoint of the north and south elevations
of Buildings A and B, respectively. Glass is generously incorporated around each office area
emphasizing its importance as the main entry into the building. In addition to the glazing, each tower at
the offices includes a cornice, decorative medallions, and a different paint color. Each office entrance
will also have a metal canopy. Glass panels with a dimension of 5 feet by 5 feet have also been
incorporated at equal intervals along the wall planes between the tower elements, on the east elevation
(of both buildings), on the south elevation (of Building B), and on the north elevation (of Building A).
.Although glass has not been provided on the interior facing elevations where the dock loading and
storage areas are, staff believes that their absence is not detrimental to the overall design of the building.
Similarly, glass has not been used on the west elevations of both buildings and sparingly on the north

elevation of Building A. Staff believes that glass should be applied on the corners of the building closest
to the street. Sandblasted wall panels have been used on all tower elements except the office towers.
Instead of sandblasting, the applicant is proposing a slight change in paint color to differentiate these
locations from the rest of their respective buildings. Staff accepts this solution. However, the difference
between paint colors should be bolder.
Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion.
Maior Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this
project.
Paint each office tower a bolder color such as dark red, blue, or green to further differentiate them
from the remainder of their respective buildings. As presented the building is dominated by colors
in the same color scale and the office towers should not be another shade of the same color.
2. Provide additional glazing on the west elevation of the southwest tower element of Building B. The
glazing should be duplicated in order to a) balance it with its south elevation, and b) enhance
aesthetically this readily visible corner as seen from 6th Street.
3. Provide additional glazing on the east elevation of the northeast tower element of Building A. The
glazing should be duplicated in order to a) balance it with its south elevation, and b) enhance
aesthetically this readily visible corner as seen from Hermosa Avenue.
4. Provide a continuous form-lined relief (or equivalent) along the entire top edge of the parapets of
the wall planes located between the tower elements.
Paint the depressed areas at each tower (where glass has not been provided) a dark glossy blue to
match the color of the glazing. This will present the appearance of glass without having to actually
use glass.
Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the
Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues.
Landscaping at the southeast corner of the site shall be intensified to ensure that the presence of
the parking lot immediately adjacent to this corner is minimized.
2. All ground-mounted equipment and utility
connections, back-flow devices, etc. shall be
spaced a minimum of 18 inches on-center.
boxes including transformers, fire department
surrounded by a minimum of two rows of shrubs
3. The employee lunch area shall have an overhead trellis with cross members spaced no more than
18 inches on-center with minimum dimensions of 4 inches by 12 inches. Also, each support
column shall have a decorative base that incorporates the architectural finishes/trim used on the
building such as sandblasted bases. The trellis shall be painted to match the building.
4. All wrought iron fences and sliding gates shall be painted black or similarly dark color.
Policy Issues: The following items are a matter of Planning Commission policy and should be
incorporated into the project design without discussion.
Incorporate undulating berms along the street frontages, within the landscape setback and
landscape areas. The highest part of the berms should be at least 3 feet in height.

2. Decorative paving shall be provided at the vehicular access points on to the site
3. All doors (roll-up, dock doors, emergency access) shall be painted to match the color of the
adjacent wall or glass panel.
4. Provide durable street furniture in outdoor employee eating area, such as tables, chairs, waste
receptacles.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the project be approved, subject to the revisions above
which can be verified by staff, and forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and action.
Design Review Committee Action:
Members Present:
Staff Planner: Michael Smith
The Design Review Committee recommends to the Planning Commission approval of the project subject
to the following revisions to be verified by staff:
1. A chamfered, "reverse" cornice shall be provided at the top of the parapet walls on all elevations
• except at the office "towers" where the decorative cornice that is currently shown may be used.
2. The checkerboard pattern reveals proposed at various tower insets by the applicant shall be
repeated at the northeast tower (north elevation) and southwest tower (west elevation) of Building
B.
3. Contact the Engineering Department to determine which overhead utilities will be required to be
placed below ground.
4. Contact the adjacent property owner to the west to coordinate the design, installation, and
maintenance of the decorative paving at the entrance to the shared driveway located at the
southwest corner of the project site.
5. The green color scheme is approved.

approval by the Planning Director of a Special Parking Study if they are over 10 percent (6,320
square feet) of the gross area. Please note that the Development Code States:
E. Parking Reduction and Parking Structure Provisions. The following may be
required by the City Planner or provided at the option of the developer when
applicable to commercial, residential or office off-street parking uses.
1. Shared Parkins. Parking facilities maybe used jointly with parking facilities
for other uses when operations are not normally conducted during the
same hours, or when hours of peak use vary. Requests for the use of
shared parking are subject to the approval of the City Planner and must
meet the following conditions;
a. A parking study shall be presented to the City Planner demonstrating
that substantial conflict will not exist in the principal hours or periods
of peak demand for the uses which the joint use is proposed.
b. The number of parking stalls which may be credited against the
requirements for the structures or uses involved shall not exceed the
number of parking stalls reasonably anticipated to be available during
differing hours of operation.
c. Parking facilities designated for joint use should not be located
further than three hundred feet from any structure or use served.
• d. A written agreement shall be drawn to the satisfaction of the city
attorney and executed by all parties concerned assuring the
continued availability of the number of stalls designated for joint use.
After a review of the submitted Parking Study, the Planning Director and Design Review Committee have
approved the applicant's Parking Study.
ANALYSIS:
General: The project proposal is for five buildings, four are 1-story buildings and one is a 2-story building.
The project is served by a single driveway on each street frontage and does not propose to share access
with the existing single-family residence on the north Etiwanda Avenue frontage. The applicant has
provided a master plan to demonstrate that the remaining commercially zoned residence could develop
independently without relying on shared access. The plan does provide for the previously required
pedestrian access from the condominium project currently under construction to the east.
The proposed architecture is slanted towards a vineyard concept, while utilizing the Route 66 Street
Improvement Plan requirements as a compatible accent. The design incorporates the Foothill Boulevard
activity center design elements as well. Architectural details include exposed heavy timber entries for two
buildings. Significant amenities in the plazas are also proposed to carry out the relevant themes. An
integrated Sign Program is also provided which further strengthens the architectural character.
A. Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood meeting was held by the applicant on December 13, 2007.
Nine residents of the neighborhood south of Foothill Boulevard attended the meeting. Copies of the
• meeting documentation are attached for reference (Exhibit D). A follow-up letter received by the

Planning Department on January 31, 2008, from a concerned resident who attended the meeting, is
also attached for reference.
Design Review Committee: The Committee reviewed the project on December 4, 2007, and on
April 14, 2008, and accepted the modifications that were presented.
C. Technical Review Committee: Technical Review and Grading Review Committees reviewed and
recommended conditions of approval which are included in the Draft Resolutions of Approval.
D. Environmental Assessment: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the
City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental
.effects of the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined
that, with the revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before
this proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review, would avoid the effects
or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and there is no
substantial evidence before the agency that the project, as revised, may have a significant effect on
the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared.
Thereafter,. the City staff provided public notice of the public comment period and of the intent to
adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration. A Mitigation Monitoring Program has also been prepared
to ensure implementation of, and compliance with, the mitigation measures for the project.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in. the Inland Vallev Dailv Bulletin
newspaper, the property was posted, and notices were mailed to all property owners within a 660-foot.
radius of the project site.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the adoption of the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration
and approval of Tentative Parcel Map SUBTPM18710 and Development Review DRC2007-00344 and
Conditional Use Permit DRC2007-00344 through the adoption of the attached Resolutions of Approval
with Conditions. Uniform Sign Program DRC2007-00914 is recommended for approval by minute action.

• Foothill Gateway Project-Zhongkun Group
12962 Foothill Blvd.
Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Community Meeting December 13, 2007 DRC 2007-00344
Chuck Buquet provided a general presentation regarding the project design for the
Center with the aid of renderings of the plans.
Additional items discussed with the neighbors.
1. There was a request by Kenneth for our developer to mitigate the noise of Foothill
Blvd. He offered that a deceleration lane should be installed along the enfve
length of Foothill as well as provide 8 foot sound wall along the Foothill, and if
this was done that the neighbors would suppoR the project, otherwise they would
oppose the project. CJA Response: We informed the neighbors proposed project is
within the noise levels provided for by the existing zoning ojthe project The existing
noise mentioned in this request is not from our project, rather what is generated from
existing Foothill Blvd Route 6tx Another neighbor pointed out that he had made
contact with Gary Handsaw who confirmed that he would provide an 8' CMU wall
around his entire property that would extend along Etiwanda to the first residential
street Mr Buquet also pointed out that it is not appropriate to require a developer to
construct facilities and improvements beyond the nexus of this development
• 2. Questioned raised regarding the timing of Foothill Boulevard roadway
improvements and timing. Questions regarding construction hours and start times.
CJA Response: The City of Rancho Cucamonga requires that a project complete the
frontage improvements prior to occupancy ojthe buildings which is included in the
Conditions ojapproval Construction activity will commence concurrently with the
project construction and hours of operations are from 6:3oam to 7pm, any work
outside that time the neighbors may contact Code Enforcement and/or Law
Enforcement to assist with enforcement if it becomes a problem
3. Questions regarding the building profile and elevations. Elevations presented and
shown that fit within scale, scope and quality ofthe existing developments on the
north side of Foothill Blvd. Compliments were provided as to these elevations and
additional discussions of the Circle X project on the south side of Foothill that will be a
22' building elevation with 37' tower elements.
4. Questions rose regarding the types ofbusinesses or uses that would be anticipated
at the Center. Concerns that Pornography, & Tattoo Parlors would be in the site.
We confirmed that there are no provisions in the code for this use. Questions rose
regarding liquor stores & nightclubs would be in the center. Mr. Buque[ informed
the neighbors that these types of uses are not anticipated for this center and would be
required to go thru a separate Conditional Use permit process.
5. Questions rose and extended discussion regarding the West Valley Detention
center releases, the non profit rehabilitation ministry that is being operated out of
EXHIBIT D D,E~F-57
one of the neighbor's homes and the concern that the shopping center would i •
attract those releases. Questions asto the design ofthe trash enclosures and
concern that homeless people would sleep in the trash enclosures and collect cans
as they do in the Wal-Mart Center, Mr. Buquet pointed out that these concerns are
outside the scope and control of our project and that ijihe concerns are due to the
existing centers, the neighbors can follow up with the Cdy regarding those concerns.
6. Discussions regarding `Wal-Mart' & `Food For less' as to the lack of maintained
trash enclosures (which are broken and stuck open with trash in the drive aisles-
homeless people sleeping in the center, overnight RV sleepers, Big Rig sleepers,
etc) are not within the approved Conditional Use Permit. Residents were advised
that they should address their issues with the City. Their concerns are unrelated to the
proposed project
Please feel free to contact me at your earliest opportunity should you have any questions
or need of additional information or assistance with this matter.

CITY' CL Ri(
Att: Larry Henderson, Adam Collier, Planning Commission and City Clerk
Regarding: DRC2007-00344 12962 Foothill Blvd. (NEC of Foothill and Etiwanda)
The following comments are regarding the neighborhood meeting held at the "Etiwanda
Gardens"on December 4th 2007.
Reading over the neighborhood meeting notes (written by Adam Collier) they do not
address adequately the concerns of the surrounding neighbors. Mr. Charles Buguet was
also rude and unprofessional while we tried to present our concerns. He would cut people
off in mid sentence and talk over them, not letting our points fully be expressed.
The main concern we have is the types of businesses they will lease to. The types of
businesses of most concern are thoughs that require a "Conditional Use Permit". This
project is located on three sides by residential developments. We do not want any
businesses that will negatively affect family surroundings such as: Cocktail Lounges,
Liquor stores, late night restaurants, Adult book stores ect. Additionally the jail releases
down the street and the existing transients can be a problem. We do not want Coin-op
washing, Bail Bonds or Check Cashing stores (there is already three Bail Bonds down the
street). The types of businesses need to be thoughs that do not appeal to problematic
people. This part of the city has been largely ignored and is very sensitive. If problems
start occumng at this site it will spill into our neighborhoods. We want a safe community;
we want to welcome quality businesses that will bring in quality people. We would spend
our money at their establishments and are trying to help them be a success.
Another concern of the neighborhoods is all this construction going on, traffic is already
extremely heary. It looks like all three comers of Foothill and Etiwanda will be
developed azound the same time. Etiwanda and Foothill Boulevazd hnprovements must
be preformed first before construction. Our neighborhood will end up trapped, boxed th,
if all this construction starts breaking ground together or near the same times.
Please take these comments seriously as we live at this end of the city. It has been a long
hard road keeping things safe and livable here.
Thank you, Kenneth Van Horn

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial affect a scenic vista? () () () (/)
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but () ()' () (/)
not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a State Scenic Highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or () () () (/)
quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, () () (/) ( )
which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in
the area?
Comments:
a) There are no significant vistas within or adjacent to the project site. The site is not within
a view corridor according to General Plan Exhibit III-15.
b) The project site contains no scenic resources and no historic buildings within a State
Scenic Highway. There are no State Scenic Highways within the City of Rancho
Cucamonga.
c) The site is located at the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue and
.iS characterized on the north by developed apartments and one single-family residence; to
the east is a condominium development that is under Construction, south across
Foothill Boulevard, is vacant but approved commercial retail center; to the west is
Etiwanda Avenue and a vacant commercial zoned property. The visual quality of the area
will not degrade as a result of this project. Design review is required prior to approval.
City standards require the developer to underground existing and new utility lines and
facilities to minimize unsightly appearance of overhead utility lines and utility enclosures in
accordance with Planning Commission Resolution No. 87-96, unless exempted by said
Resolution.
d) The project would increase the number of street lights and security lighting used in the
immediate vicinity. The design and placement of light fixtures will be shown on site plans
which require review for consistency with City standards that requires shielding, diffusing,
or indirect lighting to avoid glare. Lighting will be selected and located to confine the area
of illumination to within the project site. The impact is not considered significant.

c) Involve other changes in the existing environment, () () () (/)
which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
Comments:
a) The site is not designated as Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance. The site is located on the northeast corner of Etiwanda Avenue
and Foothill Boulevard and is characterized on the north by developed apartments and
one single-family residence; to the east is a condominium development that is under
construction; to the south, across Foothill Boulevard, is a vacant but approved commercial
retail center; to the west is Etiwanda Avenue and vacant Commercial zoned property.
There are approximately 1,300 acres of Prime Farmlands, Unique Farmland, or Farmland
of Statewide Importance within the City of Rancho Cucamonga, of which about one-third
is either developed or committed to development according to General Plan Table IV-2.
The major concentrations of designated farmlands are located in the southern and eastern
portions of our City that is characterized by existing and planned development. Further,
two-thirds of the designated farmlands parcels are small, ranging from 3 acres to
30 acres, and their economic viability is doubHul; therefore, they are not intended to be
retained as farmland in the General Plan Land Use Plan. The General Plan FEIR
identified the conversion of farmlands to urban uses as a significant unavoidable adverse
impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the
City Council. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR
was prepared and impacts evaluated.
b) There is no agriculturally zoned land within the City of Rancho Cucamonga. There are no
Williamson Act contracts within the City.
c) The site is located on the northeast corner of Etiwanda Avenue and Foothill Boulevard
and is characterized by on the north by developed apartments and one single-family
residence; to the east is a condominium development that is under construction; to the
south, across Foothill Boulevard, is a vacant but approved commercial retail center; to the
west is Etiwanda Avenue and vacant Commercial zoned property. The nearest
agricultural use is more than 1.36 mile northeast from the project site. Therefore, no
adverse impacts are anticipated.
3. AIR QUALITY. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
()
()
()
(/)
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute () (/) () ( )
substantially to an existing or projected air quality

Comments:
a) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.6), continued development will contribute to
the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and
State standards. The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as
a significant unavoidable adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding
Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City Council. The proposed project is
consistent with the General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated.
•
b) During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty
construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use will generate
emissions. In addition, fugitive dust would also be generated during grading and
construction activities. While most of the dust would settle do or near the project site,
smaller particles would remain in the atmosphere, increasing particle levels within the
surrounding area. Construction is an on-going industry in the Rancho Cucamonga area.
Construction workers and equipment work and operate at one development site until their
tasks are complete. They then transfer to a different site where the process begins again.
Therefore, the emissions associated with construction activities are not new to the Rancho
Cucamonga area and would not violate an air quality standard or worsen the existing air
quality in the region. Nevertheless, fugitive dust and equipment emissions are required to
be assessed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) on a
project-specific basis. Therefore, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented
to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels:
1) All construction equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition
so as to reduce operational emissions. Contractor shall ensure that all
construction equipment is being properly serviced and maintained as per
manufacturers' specifications. Maintenance records shall be available at the
construction site for City verification.
2) Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, developer shall submit
construction plans to City denoting the proposed schedule and projected
equipment use. Construction contractors shall provide evidence that low
emission mobile construction equipment will be utilized, or that their use was
investigated and found to be infeasible for the project. Contractors shall also
conform to any construction measures imposed by the South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) as well as City Planning Staff.
3) All paints and coatings shall meet or exceed pertormance standards noted in
SCAQMD Rule 1113. Paints and coatings shall be applied either by hand or
high-volume, low-pressure spray.
4) All asphalt shall meet or exceed performance standards noted in SCAQMD
Rule 1108.

5) All construction equipment shall comply with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403.
Additionally, contractors shall include the following provisions:
• Reestablish ground cover on the construction site through seeding and
watering.
• Pave or apply gravel to any on-site haul roads.
• Phase grading to prevent the susceptibility of large areas to erosion over
extended periods of time.
• Schedule activities to minimize the amounts of exposed excavated soil
during and after the end of work periods.
• Dispose of surplus excavated material in accordance with local
ordinances and use sound engineering practices.
• Sweep streets according to a schedule established by the City if silt is
carried over to adjacent public thoroughfares or occur as a result of
hauling. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction.
•" Suspend grading operations during high winds (i.e., wind speeds
exceeding 25 mph) in accordance with Rule 403 requirements.
• Maintain a minimum 24-inch freeboard ratio on soils haul trucks or cover
payloads using tarps or other suitable means.
6) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved
by SCAQMD and Regional Water Quality Control Board [RW~CB]) daily to
reduce PM~o emissions, in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403.
7) Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and RW~CB) shall be
applied to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or
more to reduce PM+n emissions.
8) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean alternative
fuel-powered equipment where feasible.
9) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans
include a statement that work crews will shut off equipment when not in use.
After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, short-term construction air
quality emissions would remain significant as noted in the General Plan FEIR
(Section 5.6). Based upon on the Urban Emissions Model 7G (URBEMIS7G) model
estimates in Table 5.6-4 of the General Plan FEIR, Nitrogen Oxides (Nox), Reactive
Organic Gases (ROG), and Fine Particulate Matter (PM~o) would exceed SCAQMD
thresholds for significance; therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if they cannot
be mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant. The General Plan FEIR
identified the citywide increase in emissions as a significant unavoidable adverse impact
for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately adopted by the City
Council.
In the long-term, development consistent with the General Plan would result in significant
operational vehicle emissions based upon on the URBEMIS7G model estimates in

Table 5.6-4 of the General Plan FEIR; therefore, would all be cumulatively significant if
they cannot be mitigated on a project basis to a level less-than-significant. The following
mitigation measures shall be implemented:
10) All industrial and commercial facilities shall post signs requiring that trucks
shall not be left idling for prolonged periods (i.e., in excess of 10 minutes).
11) All industrial and commercial facilities shall designate preferential parking for
vanpools.
12) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be
required to post both bus and Metrolink schedules in conspicuous areas.
13) All industrial and commercial site tenants with 50 or more employees shall be
required to configure their operating schedules around the Metrolink
schedule to the extent reasonably feasible.
14) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
high efficiency/low polluting heating, air conditioning, appliances, and water
heaters.
•
15) All residential and commercial structures shall be required to incorporate
thermal pane windows and weather-strippirig.
After implementation of the preceding mitigation measures, the General Plan FEIR
identified the citywide increase in operational emissions as a significant unavoidable
adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately
adopted by the City Council.
c) As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.6), continued development would contribute
to the pollutant levels in the Rancho Cucamonga area, which already exceed Federal and
State standards. The General Plan FEIR identified the citywide increase in emissions as
a significant and adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was
ultimately adopted by the City Council. The project proposed is consistent with the
General Plan for which the FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated.
d) Sensitive receptors are defined as populations that are more susceptible to the effects of
pollution than the population at large. The SCAOMD identifies the following as sensitive
receptors: long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers,
retirement homes, residences, schools, playgrounds, child care centers, and athletic
facilities. According to the SCAOMD, projects have the potential to create significant
impacts if they are located within 1/4 mile of sensitive receptors and would emit toxic air
contaminants identified in SCAOMD Rule 1401. The project site is located within 1/4 mile
of a sensitive receptor. Potential impacts to air quality are consistent with the Public
Health and Safety Super-Element within the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. During
construction, there is the possibility of fugitive dust to be generated from grading the site.
The mitigation measures listed under b) above will reduce impact to less-than-significant
levels.
•
e) Typically, the uses proposed do not create objectionable odors. No adverse impacts are
anticipated.

Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State
habitat conservation plan?
Comments:
a) The project site is located in an area developed with commercial and residential uses.
The site has been previously disrupted during building demolitions, construction of
infrastructure and surrounding developments/annual discing for weed abatement.
According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan FEIR, the
project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore, development
will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals because of the
fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Plan.
b)
c)
d)
Rev. 3/13/07
The project site is located in an urban area with no natural communities. No riparian
habitat exists on site, meaning the project will not have any impacts.
No wetland habitat is present on site. As a result, project implementation would have no
impact on these resources.
The majority of the surrounding area has been or is being developed, thereby disrupting
any wildlife corridors that may have existed. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () () () (/)
significance of a historical resource as defined in
§ 15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the () (/) () ( )
significance of an archeological resource pursuant to
§ 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological () (/) () ( )
resource or site or unique geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human .remains, including those interred () () () (/)
outside of formal cemeteries?
Comments:
a) The project site has not been identified as a "Historic Resource" per the standards of Rancho
Cucamonga Municipal Code Section 2.24 (Historic Preservation). However the site was
designated as a Point of Historic Interest in 1998, and subsequently demolished. A
description of the historical significance is provided as follows:
Following its construction in 1929, this Spanish Revival style filling station quickly became a
focal point of local activity. Noted concrete contractor Henry Klusman built the station, in his
characteristic continuous-poured concrete manner, for John "Doc" Pearson, an early Etiwanda
citrus grower. Stories abound of Pearson providing shelter or giving gas away to families
fleeing the Midwest Dust Bowl during the Great Depression. On cold winter evenings, local
citrus farmers would gather around Pearson's radio to listen for frost warnings, making the
station a natural meeting place throughout the year.
Interestingly, local Highway Patrol officers often congregated at Pearson's -sometimes even
stopping traffic there to "oversee" an occasional motorcycle race. Virtually unaltered, the filling
station/garage stood as an important testament to the rich regional history surrounding Route
66. After removal of the front canopy to widen Foothill Boulevard, the rest of the garage was
demolished to allow for development.
Although there will be no significant adverse impact, it is recommended that in accordance
with City policy a condition of development approval will be that the appropriate historical
signage will be designed and installed in order to provide historical information to the public
about the site.
•
b) There are no known archaeological sites or resources recorded on the project site;
however, the Rancho Cucamonga area is known to have been inhabited by Native
Americans according to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.11). Construction activity,
particularly grading, soil excavation and compaction, could adversely affect or eliminate

existing and potential archaeological resources. The following mitigation measures shall
be implemented:
1) If any prehistoric archaeological resources are encountered before or during
grading, the developer will retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor
construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or preserve
them for study. With the assistance of the archaeologist, the City of Rancho
Cucamonga will:
• Enact interim measures to protect undesignated sites from demolition or
significant modification without an opportunity for the City to establish Its
archaeological value.
• Consider establishing provisions .. to.. require incorporation of
archaeological sites within new developments, using their special
qualities as a theme or focal point.
• Pursue educating the public about the archaeological heritage of the area.
• Propose mitigation measures and recommend conditions of approval to
eliminate adverse project effects on significant, important, and unique
prehistoric resources, following appropriate CEtgA guidelines.
~•
• Prepare a technical resources management report, documenting the ~•
inventory, evaluation, and proposed mitigation of resources within the
project area. Submit one copy ,of the completed report with original
illustrations, to the San Bernardino County Archaeological Information
Center for permanent archiving.
c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.11) indicates that the Rancho Cucamonga area is on
an alluvial fan. According to the San Bernardino County database, no paleontological
sites or resources have been recorded within the City of Rancho Cucamonga or the
sphere-of-influence, including the project site; however, the area has a high sensitivity
rating for paleontological resources. The older alluvium, which would have been
deposited during the wetter climate that prevailed 10,000-100,000 years ago during the
Late Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, when the last "Ice Age" and the
appearance of modern man occurred, may contain significant vertebrate fossils. The
project site is underlain by Quaternary alluvium per General Plan Exhibit V-2; therefore,
the following mitigation measures shall be implemented:
2) If any paleontological resource (i.e. plant or animal fossils) are encountered
before or during grading, the developer will retain a qualified paleontologist to
monitor construction activities, to take appropriate measures to protect or
preserve them for study. The paleontologist shall submit a report of findings
that will also provide specific recommendations regarding further mitigation
measures (i.e., paleontological monitoring) that may be appropriate. Where
mitigation monitoring is appropriate, the program must include, but not be
limited to, the following measures:
• Assign a paleontological monitor, trained and equipped to allow the rapid
removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the site full-time
during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.

• Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded, divert
earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has completed
salvage. If construction personnel make the discovery, the grading
contractor should immediately divert construction and notify the monitor
of the find.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for documentation in the
summary report and transfer to an appropriate depository (i.e., San
Bernardino County Museum).
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer collected
specimens with a copy of the report to San Bernardino County Museum.
d) The proposed project is in an area that has already been disturbed by development. The
project site has already been disrupted by building demolition, construction of
infrastructure, and surrounding developments/annual discing for weed abatement. No
known religious or sacred sites exist within the project area. No evidence is in place to
suggest the project site has been used for human burials. The California Health and
Safety Code (Section 7050.5) states that if human remains are discovered on-site, no
further disturbance shall occur until the-County Coroner has made a determination of
origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. As adherence
to State regulations is required for all development, no mitigation is required in the unlikely
event human remains are discovered on-site. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use () () () (/)
of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal
systems where sewers are not available for the
disposal of wastewater?
Comments:
a) No known faults pass through the site and it is not in an Earthquake Fault Zane, nor is it in
the Rancho Cucamonga City Special Study Zone along the Red Hill Fault, according to the
General Plan Exhibit V-1, and Section 5.1 of the General Plan FEIR. The Red Hill Fault,
passes within 2.68 miles northwest of the site, and the Cucamonga Fault Zone Iles
approximately 4.2 miles north. These faults are both capable of producing M„, 6.0-7.0
earthquakes. Also, the San Jacinto fault, capable of producing up to Mw 7.5 earthquakes is
,10.2 miles northeasterly of the site and the San Andreas, capable of up to Mw 8.2
earthquakes, is 12.7 miles northeasterly of the site. Each of these faults can produce strong
ground shaking. Adhering to the Uniform Building Code will ensure that geologic impacts are
less-than-significant.
b) The proposed project will require the excavation, stockpiling, and/or movement of on-site
soils. The Rancho Cucamonga area is subject to strong Santa Ana wind conditions
during September to April, which generates blowing sand and dust, and creates erosion
problems. Construction activities may temporarily exacerbate the impacts of windblown
sand, resulting in temporary problems of dust control; however, development of this
project under the General Plan would help to reduce windblown sand impacts in the area
as pavement, roads, buildings, and landscaping are established. Therefore, the following
fugitive dust mitigation measures shall be implemented to reduce impacts to
less-than significant levels:
1) The site shall be treated with water or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved
by SCA~MD and RWQCB) daily to reduce PM~p emissions, in accordance with
SCA~MD Rule 403 or re-planted with drought resistant landscaping as soon
as possible
2) Frontage public streets shall be swept according to a schedule established by
the City to reduce PM~o emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil
off-site. Timing may vary depending upon time of year of construction.
3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds exceed 25 mph to
minimize PM~o emissions from the site during such episodes.
4) Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCA~MD and RW~CB) shall be applied
to all inactive construction areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to
reduce PM~o emissions.
c) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.1) indicates that subsidence is generally associated
with large decreases or withdrawals of water from the aquifer. The project would not
withdraw water from the existing aquifer. The site is not within a geotechnical hazardous
area or other unstable geologic unit or soil type according to General Plan FEIR Figure
5.1-2. Soil type's onsite consist of Tujunga LOAMY SAND, and Hanford Coarse SANDY
LOAM, 2 to 9 percent slopes. Soil association according to General Plan FEIR
Exhibit 5.1-3. No adverse impacts are anticipated.

and is offset north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated.
f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 1/2 miles to the west
of the City's westerly limits. No impact is anticipated.
g) The City's Multi-Hazard Disaster Plan, which is updated every two years, includes policies
and procedures to be administered by the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District in the event of
a disaster. Because the project includes at least two points of public street access and is
required to comply with all applicable City codes, including local fire ordinances, no
adverse impacts are anticipated.
h) Rancho Cucamonga faces the greatest ongoing threat from awind-driven fire in the Urban
Wildland Interface area found in the northern part of the City according to the Fire District
Strategic Plan 2000-2005; however, the proposed project site is not located within a high
fire hazard area according to General Plan Exhibit V-7.

Comments:
a) Water and sewer service is provided by the Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD).
The project is designed to connect to the existing water and sewer systems. The State of
California is authorized to administer various aspects of the National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act. The
General Construction Permit treats any construction activity over 1 acre as an industrial
activity, requiring a permit under the State's General NPDES permit. The State Water
Resource Control Board (SWRCB) through the Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWOCB), Santa Ana Region, administers these permits.

Construction activities covered under the State's General Construction permit include
removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity for new development or
significant redevelopment. Prior to commencement of construction of a project, a
discharger must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to obtain coverage under the General
Permit. The General permit requires all dischargers to comply with the following during
construction activities, including site clearance and grading:
Develop. and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SW PPP) that
would specify Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would prevent construction
pollutants from contacting storm water and with the intent of keeping all products of
erosion from moving off-site into receiving waters.
Eliminate or reduce non-storm water discharges to storm sewer systems and other
waters of the nation.
Perform inspections of all BMPs.
Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges.
A construction project for new development or significant redevelopment requires an
NPDES permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare a Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Plan (SW PPP). To comply with the NPDES, the project's
construction contractor will be required to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SW PPP) during construction activities, and a Water Quality Management Plan
(WQMP) for post-construction operational management of storm water runoff. The
applicant has submitted a WQMP, prepared by Coory Engineering, dated
August 23, 2007 that identifies Best Management Practices (BMPs) to minimize the
amount of pollutants, such as eroded soils, entering the drainage system after
construction. Runoft from driveways, roads and other impermeable surtaces must be
controlled through an on-site drainage system. BMPs include both structural and
non-structural control methods. Structural controls used to manage storm water pollutant
levels include detention basins, oil/grit separators, and porous pavement. Non-structural
controls focus on controlling pollutants at the source, generally through implementing
erosion and sediment control plans, and various Business Plans that must be developed
by any businesses that store and use hazardous materials. Practices, such as periodic
parking lot sweeping can substantially reduce the amount of pollutants entering the storm
drain system. The following mitigation measures would be required to control additional
storm water effluent:
Construction Activities:
1) Prior to issuance of grading permits, the permit applicant shall submit to
Building Official for approval, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SW PPP) specifically identifying Best Management Practices (BMPs) that
shall be used on-site to reduce, pollutants during construction activities
entering the storm drain system to the maximum extent practical.

2) An erosion control plan shall be prepared, included in grading plan, and
implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific measures to r•
control on-site and off-site erosion from the time ground disturbing activities
are initiated through completion of grading. This erosion control plan shall
include the following measures at a minimum: a) Specify the timing of

grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods
experienced in southern California, and b) An inspection and maintenance
program shall be included to ensure that any erosion which does occur either
on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a
remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame.
3) During construction, temporary berms such as sandbags or gravel dikes
must be used to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site when
there is rainfall or other runoff.
4) During construction, to remove pollutants, street cleaning will be pertormed
prior to storm events and after the use of water trucks to control dust in order
to prevent discharge of debris or sediment from the site.
Post- Construction Operational:
5) The developer shall implement the BMPs identified in the Water Quality
Management Plan prepared by Coory Engineering, dated August 23, 2007 to
reduce pollutants after construction entering the storm drain system to the
maximum extent practical.
6) Landscaping plans shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing
•' the use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Landscaped areas shall be
monitored and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage
and stable growth. Plans for these areas, including monitoring provisions for
a minimum of two years, shall be submitted to the City for review and
approval prior to the issuance of grading permits.
b) According to CVWD, 43 percent of the City's water is currently provided from ground
water in the Cucamonga and Chino Basins. CVWD has adopted a master plan that
estimates demand needs until the year 2030. The proposed project will not deplete
groundwater supplies, nor will it intertere with recharge because it is not within an area
designated as a recharge basin or spreading ground according to General Plan
Exhibit IV-2. The development of the site will require the grading of the site and
excavation; however, would not affect the existing aquifer, estimated to be about 288 to
470 feet below the ground surface. As noted in the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.9),
continued development citywide will increase water needs and is a significant impact;
however, CVWD has plans to meet this increased need through the construction of future
water facilities.
c) The project well cause changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and the rate and
amount of surface water runoff because of the, amount of new building and hardscape
proposed on a site; however, the project will not alter the course of any stream or river.
All runoff will be conveyed to the existing storm drain facilities, which have been designed
to handle the flows. The project design includes landscaping of all non-hardscape areas
to prevent erosion. A grading and drainage plan must be approved by the Building Official
and City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. Therefore, the project will not
result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The impact is not considered
• significant.

system to the maximum extent practicable. The WQMP shall identify the
structural and non-structural measures consistent with the Guidelines for
New Development and Redevelopment adopted by the City of Rancho
Cucamonga in June 2004.
8) Prior to issuance of grading or paving permits, applicant shall obtain a Notice
of Intent (NOI) to comply with obtaining coverage under the National Pollutant

shall be submitted to the City Building Official for coverage under the NPDES
General Construction Permit.
No housing units are proposed with this project. No adverse impacts are expected.
The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area according to General
Plan Exhibit V-5. No adverse impacts are expected.
The Rancho Cucamonga area is flood protected by an extensive storm drain system
designed to convey a 100-year storm event. The system is substantially improved and

south, across Foothill Boulevard, is a vacant but approved commercial retail center; to the
west is Etiwanda Avenue and vacant Commercial zoned property. This protect will be of
similar design and size to surrounding commercial and residential development' in the
area. The project will become a part of the larger community. No adverse impacts are
anticipated.
b) The project site land use designation is Community Commercial. The proposed project is
consistent with the General Plan and does not interfere with any policies for environmental
protection. As such, no impacts are anticipated.
c) The project site is not located within any habitat conservation or natural community plan
area. According to the General Plan Exhibit IV-3, and Section 5.3 of the General Plan
FEIR, the project site is not within an area of sensitive biological resources; therefore,
development will not adversely affect rare or endangered species of plants or animals
because of the fact that the project is surrounded by urbanized land uses and is
consistent with the General Plan Land Use Plan.

1) A minimum 5-foot high glass or Plexiglas wall on the west, south, and east
sides of the patio for the eastern most commercial building on
Foothill Boulevard would provide adequate mitigation.
b). The uses associated with this type of project normally do not induce ground borne
vibrations. As such, no impacts are anticipated.
c) The primary source of ambient noise levels in Rancho Cucamonga is traffic. The
proposed activities will not significantly increase traffic; hence, are not anticipated to
increase the ambient noise levels within the vicinity of the project.
d) The General Plan FEIR (Section 5.7) indicates that during a construction phase, on-site
stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, and construction equipment, will
generate noise exceeding City standards. The following measures are provided to
mitigate the short-term noise impacts:
2) Construction or grading shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m.
and 6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a
national holiday.
•
3) Construction or grading noise levels shall not exceed the standards specified
in Development Code Section 17.02.120-D, as measured at the property line.
Developer shall hire a consultant to pertorm weekly noise level monitoring as
specified in Development Code Section 17.02.120. Monitoring at other times
may be required by the Building Official. Said consultant shall report their
findings to the Building Official within 24 hours; however, if noise levels
exceed the above standards, then the consultant shall immediately notify the
Building Official. If noise levels exceed the above standards, then
construction activities shall be reduced in intensity to a level of compliance
with above noise standards or halted.
4) The perimeter block wall shall be constructed as early as possible in the first
phase where it is not existing and when adjacent to residential use.
The preceding mitigation measures will reduce the disturbance created by on-site
construction equipment; however, do not address the potential impacts because of the
transport of construction materials and debris. The following mitigation measure shall then
be required:
5) Haul truck deliveries shall not take place between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and
6:30 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a
national holiday. Additionally, if heavy trucks used for hauling would exceed
100 daily trips (counting both to and from the construction site), then the
developer shall prepare a noise mitigation plan denoting any construction
traffic haul routes. To the extent feasible, the plan shall denote haul routes
that do not pass sensitive land uses or residential dwellings.
•
e) The site is not located within an airport land use plan and is not within 2 miles of a public
airport. Located approximately 4.97 miles northerly of the Ontario Airport and is offset
north of the flight path. No impact is anticipated.

f) The nearest private airstrip, Cable Airport, is located approximately 2 1/2 miles to the west
of the City's westerly limits. Nc impact is anticipated.
12. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either () () () (/)
directly (for example, by proposing new homes and
businesses) or indirectly (for example, through
extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, () () () (/)
necessitating the construction of replacement housing
elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating () () () (/)
the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
Comments:
~•
a) The project is located in a predominantly developed area and will not induce population
growth. Construction activities at the site will be short-term and will not attract new
employees to the area. Once constructed, the proposed project will have a limited
number of employees; hence, will not create a demand for additional housing as a
majority of the employees will likely be hired from within the City or surrounding ~•
communities. No impacts are anticipated.
b) The project site contains no existing housing units. No adverse impact expected.
c) The project site is vacant land. No impacts are anticipated.
13. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial
adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new
or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or
physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of
which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order
to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other
performance objectives for any of the public services:
a) Fire protection? () () () (/)
b) Police protection? () () () (/)
c) Schools? () () () (/)
d) Parks? () () () (/)
e) Other public facilities? () () () (/)
Comments:
a) The site, located on the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue,
would be served by a fire station located approximately 1.92 mile from the project site.
The project will not require the construction of any new facilities or alteration of any ;•
existing facilities or cause a decline in the levels of service, which could cause the need to
construct new facilities. Standard conditions of approval from the Uniform Building and

Fire Codes will be placed on the project so no impacts to fire services will occur. No
impacts are anticipated.
b) Additional police protection is not required as the addition of the project will not change
the pattern of uses within the surrounding area and will not have a substantial increase in
property to be patrolled as the project site is within an area that is regularly patrolled.
c) The site fs in a developed area currently served by the Etiwanda School District and the
Chaffey Joint Union High School District. The project will be required to pay school fees
as prescribed by State law prior to the issuance of building permits. No impacts are
anticipated.
d) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest park is located .46 mile from the project site. The project will not require the
construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. A standard
condition of approval will require the developer to pay park development fees. No impacts
are anticipated.
•
e) The proposed project will utilize existing public facilities. The site is in a developed area,
currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The project will not require the
construction of any new facilities or alteration of any existing facilities or cause a decline in
the levels of service, which could cause the need to construct new facilities. Cumulative
development within Rancho Cucamonga will increase demand for library services.
According to the General Plan FEIR (Section 5.9.9), the projected increase in library
space under the General Plan will not meet the projected demand.. The General Plan
FEIR identified the cumulative impact do library services as a significant unavoidable
adverse impact for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations was ultimately
adopted by the City Council. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for
which the EIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. Since the adoption of the General
Plan, the City built a new library within the Victoria Gardens regional shopping center of
approximately 22,000 square feet, which is in excess of the projected need of
15,500 square feet at build-out of the City.
14. RECREATION. Would the project
a) Increase the use of existing neighborhood and () () () (/)
regional parks or other recreational facilities such that
substantial physical deterioration of the facility would
occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or () (•) () (/)
require the construction or expansion of recreational
facilities, which might have an adverse physical effect
on the environment?
Comments:
a) The site is in a developed area, currently served by the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The
nearest park is located .46 miles from the project site. This project is_not proposing any
• new housing or large employment generator that would cause an increase in the use of
parks or other recreational facilities. A standard condition of approval will require the
developer to pay park development fees. No impacts are anticipated.

15. TRANSPORTATIONfTRAFFIC. Would fhe project:
a) Cause an increase in traffic, which is substantial in () () () (/)
relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the
street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in
either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to
capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at
intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of () () () (/)
service standard established by the county congestion
management agency for designated roads or
highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including () () () (/)
either an increase in traffic levels or a change in
location that results in substantial safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature () () () (/)
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access? () () () (/)'
f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? () () () (/) _
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs () () () (/)
supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus
turnouts, bicycle racks)?
Comments:
a) Implementation of the proposed project will generate 3,340 vehicle trips daily. The
proposed project includes the development of 63,200 square feet of Community
Commercial uses. The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each
1,OOOsquare feet will generate 52.85 trips daily. As noted in the General Plan FEIR
(Section 5.5), continued development will contribute to the traffic load in the Rancho
Cucamonga area. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for which the
FEIR was prepared and impacts evaluated. The project is in an area that is mostly
developed with street improvements existing or included in project design. The project will
not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume or
congestion at intersections. The project site will be required to provide street
improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalk) along the street frontage of the site per City
roadway standards. In addition, the City has established a Transportation Development
fee that must be paid by the applicant prior to issuance of building permits. Fees are used
to fund roadway improvements necessary to support adequate traffic circulation. No
impacts are anticipated.
~•
i•
b) The Rancho Cucamonga Traffic Model estimates that each 1,000 will generate
4.28 two-way peak hour trips daily. In November 2004, San Bernardino County voters
passed the Measure I extension which requires local jurisdictions to impose appropriate ~•
fees on development for their fair share toward regional transportation improvement
projects. On May 18, 2005, the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a Comprehensive
Transportation Fee Schedule updating these development impact fees. As a result, the

17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a) Does the protect have the potential to degrade the () () () (/)
quality of the environment, substantially reduce the
habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,
reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California history or
prehistory?
b) Does the .project have impacts that are individually () () () (/)
limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively
considerable" means that the incremental effects of a
project are considerable when viewed in connection
with the effects of past projects, the effects of other
current projects, and the effects of probable future
projects)?
c) Does the project have environmental effects that will () () () (/)
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
Comments•
a) The site is not located in an area of sensitive biological resources as identified on the City
of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan Exhibit IV-3. Additionally, the area surrounding the
site is developed. Based on previous development and street improvements, it is unlikely
that any endangered or rare species would inhabit the site.
b) If the proposed project were approved, then the applicant would be required to develop
the site in accordance with the City of Rancho Cucamonga General Plan. The 2001
General Plan was adopted along with the certification of a Program FEIR, Findings of
Fact, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant adverse environmental
effects of build-out in the City and Sphere of Influence. The City made findings that
adoption of the General Plan would result in significant adverse effects to aggregate
resources, prime farmland, air quality, the acoustical environment, library services, and
aesthetics and visual resources. Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these
resources; however, they would not reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. As
such, the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations balancing the benefits of
development under the General Plan Update against the significant unavoidable adverse
impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)). These benefits include less
overall traffic volumes by developing mixed-use projects that will be pedestrian friendly
and conservation of valuable natural open space. With these findings and the Statement
of Overriding Considerations, no further discussion or evaluation of cumulative impacts is
required.
c) Development of the site under the proposed land use change would not cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identifies
construction-related emissions of criteria pollutants as having a potentially significant
impact. Proposed mitigation measures would further reduce emission levels.
Additionally, impacts resulting from air quality would be short-term and would cease once

construction activities were completed. The Initial Study identified potentially significant
impacts associated with the exposure of people to increased noise levels. Mitigation
measures contained in this Initial Study will ensure impacts are at less-than-significant
levels.
EARLIER ANALYSES
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, one

1.0 Introduction
Fa~GE 6a ,
At the direction of Zhongkun Group Inc., Davy 8 Associates, !nc_ has completed an
acoustical analysis of a proposed exterior patio on the site at Foothill Blvd and
Etiwanda Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
Section 2,0 of this report contains the results o! measurements of the exterior noise
environment a! the site.
Section 3.0 discusses exterior noise Impacts of the exterior patio.
2.0 Exterior Acoustical Environment
Ern+ironmental noise levels ware monitored due to tratiic on Footttiil Blvd at the same
distance from the center line as the patio. Noise levels were also measured due to
traffic on the 15 Freeway at the same distance as the patio.
Envirorunental noise levels were measured with a precision integrating LD 620 sound
level meter that had boon calibrated with a B&K 4230 Acoustical Calibrator immediately
prior to use. The sound level meter measures and displays the equivalent noise level
(LEO}, as well as the maximum and the minimum noise levels during the measurement
period. The LEO is the average noise level during the measurement interval.
The results o1 the monitoring and calculations are summarized below in Table 1

Section 3.0 ExteYlor Patio Nofse Impacts
The City of Rancho Cucamonga requires thal noise levels at the eaherior patio do not
excoed 65 dBA. Noise levels summarized in Tahle 1 indicate that She exterior patio will be
exposed to an LEQ 68.8 d6.
If the patio is enckosed with a 5 foot high glass nr plexiglass wa0 on the south,easl and
vJest sides, noise levels from Foothill Blvd and the 15 Freeway will be attenuated by a
minimum ai 5 dB. This means that the pato wHl k~e exposed to a noise level of
LEC] 63.8 d13.
Therefore, with n 5 toot high glass or plexiglass wall on the south, east and west sides of
the exterior patio, noise levels on the patio wiA cuinply with the requirements of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga.

2.2 HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS OF CONCERN (NOT REQUIRED FOR NON- ~•
CATEGORY PROJECTS)
All Category projects must identify any hydrologic condition of concern (HCOC) that will be
caused by the project, and implement Site Design, Source Control, and/or Treatment Control
BMPs to address identified impacts. Project proponents must follow the procedure for
identifying HCOCs specified in Section 2.3 of the Model WOMP. Use the following Table and
instructions as a guide.
1. (from Section 2.3, Part 2): Yes No
Determine if the project will create a Hydrologic Condition of Concern.
Check "yes" or "no" as applicable and proceed to the appropriate section as outlined
below.
A. All downstream conveyance channels, that will receive runoff from the project, are
engineered, hardened (concrete, riprap or other), and regularly maintained to X
ensure design flow capacity, and no sensitive stream habitat areas will be affected.
Engineered, hardened, and maintained channels include channel reaches that
ve been fully and properly approved (including CEQA review, and permitting by
' SACOE, RWOCB and California Dept. of Fish 8 Game) by June 1, 2004 for
nstruclion and hardening to achieve design capacity, whether wnstruction of the
channels is complete. Discharge from the project will be in full compliance with
Agency requirements far connections and discharges to the MS4, including both
ccW~uality and quantity requirements, and the project will be permitted by the Agency
'
fbr the connection or discharge to the MS4.

C. ~~n the conditions in part A or B above be demonstrated for the project? X
• Ifdhe answer for A, B, and/or C above is yes, then the project does not create a HCOC-in this
rise go to Section 3.
• If the answer for C above is no, then go to section 2.3. Part 3, below.
t
The projects' drainage characteristics, County of San Bernardino HCOC policy
requires the project engineer to use the following guidelines:
a. The Design Storms to Ue considered include, as a minimum, the 5-year, 2
year, and 1-year rehim frequency storms, using t11e methods contained in the
San Bernardino Cotulty Hydrology Manual (1986).
A-7

•
Project sites from 0-10 acres in size should use the Small Area Runoff
Hydrograph method, found in Section J of the San Bernardino County
Hydrology Manual (1986); sites greater than 10 acres should use the Unit
I-Iydrograph Method, found in Section E of the San Bernardino County
Hydrology Manual (1986). For eadl rehtrn frequency considered, and for both
pre- and post-development conditions, determine the total nuioff volume, the
peak flow rate, and the time of duration, of nmoff hydrograph flow rates that
exceed the following flow rates: 90% of peak flow rate, 80% of peak flov\~ rate,
70% of peak flow rate, 60% of peak flow rate, 50% of peak flow rate, 40% of peak
flow rate, 30% of peak flow rate, 20% of peak flow rate, and 10% of peak flow
rate (see Table B2-2, "Pre- and Post-development Hydrology Comparison
Worksheet.")
b. Sediment supply is to be estimated Eor pre-and post-development condiions
for the land altered by the subject project Cuing Table 2-3, "Pre- and Post-
development Hydrology Comparison Worksheet" or equivalent. The Universal
Soil Loss Equation published by the USDA-Nahual Resources Conservation
Service may be considered as an estimate of changes in sediment yield due to
development, if applicable. Flow velocities are to be estimated for the several
rehirn frequency design storms noted above, as a minimtun, wiH~ flow velocities
estimated for each percentage of the peak flow rate value listed above. Normal
depth hydraulic estimates maybe used unless significant backwater effects exist
such that deposition of sediment is anticipated, in which case a standard
backwater analysis is to be conducted.
c. Based upon the preceding task results, the project engineer shall evaluate the
Project and its impact downstream and recommend other design storm rehtrn
frequencies to be considered in order to satisfy the goals and intent of the I-1000
document.

2.3 WATERSHED IMPACT OF PROJECT
The Project consists of four commercial structures, totaling approximately
72,600 square feet of floor area on a 244,616 square feet (5.62 acres) parcel,
together with parking and landscaping. Except for new parking at the southeast
corner of Eureka Street and Stuart Street, new project runoff rates, volumes,
velocities, and flow duration will not exceed those of the existing development for
1-year, 2-year and 5-year frequency storm events. New Landscaped areas and the
use of porous asphalt pavement for the new parking area will maintain the
existing runoff coefficient for the new construction.
All new and existing catch basins will be provided with Flo-Gard + Plus catch
basin inserts to capture water-borne pollutants such as vegetation, litter, coarse
sediments, debris, trash, oils and greases and other pollutants and contaminants
from low (first flush) flows. The treated drainage then drains to adjacent street
gutters and ultimately to existing storm drain system serving the area, which
drain to East Etiwanda Creek, and ultimately to Fteach 3 of the Santa Ana River

Maintenance Mechanisms
A-1.1 The Agency shall not accept stormwater structural BMPs as meeting the WQMP
requirements standard, unless an O&M Plan is prepared (see WQMP Section 2.6) and
a mechanism is in place that will ensure ongoing long-term maintenance of all
structural and non-structural BMPs. This mechanism can be provided by the Agency
or by the project proponent. As part of project review, If a project proponent is required
to include interim or permanent structural and non-structural BMPs in project plans,
and iF the Agency does not provide a mechanism for BMP maintenance, the Agency
shall require that the applicant provide verification of maintenance requirements
through such means as may be appropriate, at the discretion of the Agency, including,
but not limited to covenants, legal agreements, maintenance agreements, conditional
use permits and/or funding arrangements (OC 2003)
A-1.2 Maintenance Mechanisms
1. Public entity maintenance: The Agency may approve a public or acceptable quasi-
public entity (e.g., the County Flood Control District, or annex to an existing
assessment district, an existing utility district, a state or federal resource agency, or a
• conservation conservancy) to assume responsibility for operation, maintenance,
repair and replacement of the BMP. Unless otherwise acceptable to individual
Agencies, public entity maintenance agreements shall ensure estimated costs are
front-funded or reliably guaranteed, (e.g., through a'trust fund, assessment district
fees, bond, letter of credit or similar means). In addition, the Permitfees may seek
protection from liability by appropriate releases and indemnities.
The Agency shall have the authority to approve stormwater BMPs proposed for
transfer to any other public entity within its jurisdiction before installation. The
Permittee shall be involved in the negotiation of maintenance requirements with any
other public entities accepting maintenance responsibilities within their respective
jurisdictions; and in negotiations with the resource agencies responsible for issuing
permits for the construction and/or maintenance of the facilities. The Agency must be
identified as a third party beneficiary empowered to enforce any such maintenance
agreement within their respective jurisdictions.
2. Project proponent agreement to maintain stormwater BMPs: The Agency may
enter into a contract with the project proponent obliging the project proponent to
maintain, repair and replace the stormwater BMP as necessary into perpetuity.
Security or a funding mechanism with a "no sunset" clause may be required.
3. Assessment districts: The Agency may approve an Assessment District or other
funding mechanism created by the project proponent to provide funds for stormwater
\J
A-25
D, E,F-128
- Attachment A
WQMP Template
BMP maintenance, repair and replacement on an ongoing basis. Any agreement with ~•
such a District shall be subject to the Public Entity Maintenance Provisions above.
4. Lease provisions: In those cases where the Agency holds title to the land in
question, and the land is being leased to another party for private or public use, the
Agency may assure stormwater BMP maintenance, repair and replacement through
conditions in the lease.
5. Conditional use permits: For discretionary projects only, the Agency may assure
maintenance of stormwater BMPs through the inclusion of maintenance conditions in
the conditional use permit. Security may be required.
6. Alternative mechanisms: The Agency may accept alternative maintenance
mechanisms if such mechanisms are as protective as those listed above.

Pollutants of Concern

Pollutants of Concern
Pollutants of Concern
a Bacteria and Viruses -Bacteria and Viruses are ubiquitous microorganisms that thrive
under certain environmental conditions. Their proliferation is typically cause by the transport
of animal or human fecal wastes from the watershed. Water, containing excessive bacteria
and viruses, can alter the aquatic habitat and create a harmful environment for humans and
aquatic life. Also, the decomposition of excess organic waste causes increased growth of
undesirable organisms in the water.
Metals -The primary source of metal pollution in stormwater is typically commercially
available metals and metal products. Metals of concern include cadmium, chromium,
copper, lead, mercury, and zinc. Lead and chromium have been used as corrosion inhibitors
in primer coatings and cooling tower systems. Metals are also raw material components in
non-metal products such as fuels, adhesives, paints, and other coatings. At low
concentrations naturally occurring in soil, metals may not be toxic. However; at higher
concentrations, certain metals can be toxic to aquatic life. Humans can be impacted from
contaminated groundwater resources, and bioaccumulation of metals in fish and shellfish.
Environmental concerns, regarding the potential for release of metals to the environment,
have already led to restricted metal usage in certain applications (OC 2003).
Nutrients -Nutrients are inorganic substances, such as nitrogen and phosphorus.
Excessive discharge of nutrients to water bodies and streams causes eutrophication, where
aquatic plants and algae growth can lead to excessive decay of organic matter in the water
body, loss of oxygen in the water, release of toxins in sediment, and the eventual death of
aquatic organisms. Primary sources of nutrients in urban runoff are fertilizers and erdded
soils.
Pesticides -- Pesticides (including herbicides) are chemical compounds commonly used to
control nuisance growth or prevalence of organisms. Relatively low levels of the active
component of pesticides can result in conditions of aquatic toxicity. Excessive or improper
application of a pesticide may result in runoff containing toxic levels of its active ingredient
(OC 2003).
Organic Compounds -Organic compounds are carbon-based. Commercially available or
naturally occurring organic compounds are found in pesticides, solvents, and hydrocarbons.
Organic compounds can, at certain concentrations, indirectly or directly constitute a hazard
to life or health. When rinsing off objects, toxic levels of solvents and cleaning compounds
can be discharged to storm drains. Dirt, grease, and grime retained in the cleaning fluid or
rinse water may also adsorb levels of organic compounds that are harmful or hazardous to
aquatic life (OC 2003).
v Sediments -Sediments are solid materials that are eroded from the land surface.
Sediments can increase turbidity, clog fish gills, reduce spawning habitat, lower young
aquatic organisms survival rates, smother bottom dwelling organisms, and suppress aquatic
vegetation growth.
Trash and Debris -Trash (such as paper, plastic, polystyrene packing foam, and aluminum
materials) and biodegradable organic matter (such as leaves, grass cuttings, and food
waste) are general waste products on the landscape. The presence of trash and debris may

have a significant impact on the recreational value of a water body and aquatic habitat.
•
Trash impacts water quality by increasing biochemical oxygen demand.
Oxygen-Demanding Substances - This category includes biodegradable organic material
as well as chemicals that react with dissolved oxygen in water to form other compounds.
Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are examples of biodegradable organic compounds.
Compounds such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are examples of oxygen-demanding
compounds. The oxygen demand of a substance can lead to depletion of dissolved oxygen
in a water body and possibly the development of septic conditions. A reduction of dissolved
oxygen is detrimental to aquatic life and can generate hazardous compounds such as
hydrogen sulfides.
m Oil and Grease -Oil and grease in water bodies decreases the aesthetic value of the water
body, as well as the water quality. Primary sources of oil and grease are petroleum
hydrocarbon products, motor products from leaking vehicles, esters, oils, fats, waxes, and
high molecular-weight fatty acids.

The following Mitigated Negative Declaration is being circulated for public review in accordance with
the California Environmental'Ouality Act Section 21091 and 21092 of the Public Resources Code.
Project File No.: SUBTPM18710, DRC2007-00344, and DRC2007-00914
Public Review Period Closes: May 14, 2008
Project Name: Project Applicant: Charles Joseph Associates
Project Location (also see attached map): Located in the Community Commercial Zone,
Subarea 4, on the northeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue - APN: 1100-161-02
and 03.
Project Description: A request fora 4-lot subdivision for property within the Community
Commercial Zone, Subarea 4, and the development of a retail commercial center consisting of
5 buildings totaling 63,000 square feet and a Sign Program.
FINDING
This is to advise that the City of Rancho Cucamonga, acting as the lead agency, has conducted an
• Initial Study to determine if the project may have a significant effect on the environment and is
proposing this Mitigated Negative Declaration based upon the following finding:
The Initial Study identified potentially significant effects but:
(1) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made or agreed to by the applicant before this
proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration was released for public review would avoid the
• effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and
(2) There is no substantial evidence before the agency that the project, as revised, may have a
significant effect on the environment.
If adopted, the Mitigated Negative Declaration means that an Environmental Impact Report will not
be required. The factual and analytical basis for this finding is included in the attached Initial
Study. The project file and all related documents are available for review at the City of Rancho
Cucamonga Planning Department at 10500 Civic Center Drive (909) 477-2750 or Fax
(909) 477-2847.

4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for
the application, the Planning Commission finds that there is no substantial evidence that the project
will have a significant effect upon the environment and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
.findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the Califomia Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of the
project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the
imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence That the project would
have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment
period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it, finds: (i) that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
c. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.

the rapid removal of fossils with minimal construction delay, to the ~.
site full-time during the interval of earth-disturbing activities.
Should fossils be found within an area being cleared or graded,
divert earth-disturbing activities elsewhere until the monitor has
completed salvage. If construction personnel make the
discovery, the grading contractor should immediately divert
construction and notify the monitor of the find.
• Prepare, identify, and curate all recovered fossils for
documentation in the summary report and transfer to an
appropriate depository (i.e., San Bemardino County Museum).
• Submit summary report to City of Rancho Cucamonga. Transfer
collected specimens with a copy to the report to San Bemardino
County Museum.

MITIGATION MONITORING
PROGRAM
Project File No.: SUBTPM18710, DRC2007-00344, and DRC2007-00914
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration forthe above-listed project. This program
has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components -This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessaryto ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. .As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management -The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures -The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and
to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will
be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the
project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following address:

3. Appropriate specialists will be retained if technical expertise beyond the City staff's is needed, as
determined bythe project planner or responsible City department, to monitor specific mitigation
activities and provide appropriate written approvals to the project planner.
4. The project planner or responsible City department will approve, by signature and date, the
completion of each action item that was identified on the MMP Reporting Form. After each
measure is verified for compliance, no further action is required for the specific phase of
development.
5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be signed off
as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the bottom of the MMP
Reporting Form.
6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation
measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or additions.
An MMP Reporting Form will be completed bythe project planner or responsible City department
and a copy provided to the appropriate design, construction, or operational personnel.
IF•
The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to stop the work of
construction contractors if compliance with any aspects of the MMP is not occurring after written
notification has been issued. The project planner or responsible City department also has the
authority to hold certificates of occupancies if compliance with a mitigation measure attached ~:
hereto is not occurring. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to
hold issuance of a business license until all mitigation measures are implemented.
8. Any conditions (mitigation) that require monitoring after project completion shall be the
responsibility of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division. The Division shall require
the applicant to post any necessary funds (or other forms of guarantee) with the City. These
funds shall be used by the City to retain consultants and/or pay for City staff time to monitor and
report on the mitigation measure for the required period of time.
In those instances requiring long-term project monitoring, the applicant shall provide the City
with a plan for monitoring the mitigation activities at the project site and reporting the monitoring
results to the City. Said plan shall identify the reporter as an individual qualified to know whether
the particular mitigation measure has been implemented. The monitoring/reporting plan shall
conform to the City's MMP and shall be approved by the Community Development Director or
City Planner prior to the issuance of building permits.

Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of
the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the
imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would
have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment
period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record ~.
before it, finds: (i) that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared incompliance with CEQA;
and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission furtherfinds
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
c. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
d. The Custodian of Records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program, and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's decision is based is the Planning Director of the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Department
of the City of Rancho Cucamonga located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga,

This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project. This program
has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components -This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management -The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The projedt
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures -The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and
to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will
be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the
project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following address:

3. Appropriate specialists will be retained if technical expertise beyond the City staff's is needed, as
determined by the project planner or responsible City department, to monitor specific mitigation
activities and provide appropriate written approvals to the project planner.
4. The project planner or responsible City department will approve, by signature and date, the
completion of each action item that was identified on the MMP Reporting Form. After each
measure is verified for compliance, no further action is required for the specific phase of
development.
5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be signed off
as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the bottom of the MMP
Reporting Form.
6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation
measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or additions.
An MMP Reporting Form will be completed by the project planner or responsible City department
and a copy provided to the appropriate design, construction, or operational personnel.
7. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to stop the work of
construction contractors if compliance with any aspects of the MMP is not occurring after written
notification has been issued. The project planner or responsible City department also has the
authority to hold certificates of occupancies if compliance with a mitigation measure attached
hereto is not occurring. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to
hold issuance of a business license until all mitigation measures are implemented.
8. Any conditions (mitigation) that require monitoring after project completion shall be the
responsibility of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division. The Division shall require
the applicant to post any necessary funds (or other forms of guarantee) with the City. These
funds shall be used by the City to retain consultants and/or pay for City staff time to monitor and
report on the mitigation measure for the required period of time.
9. In those instances requiring long-term project monitoring, the applicant shall provide the City
with a plan for monitoring the mitigation activities at the project site and reporting the monitoring
results to the City. Said plan shall identify the reporter as an individual qualified to know whether
the particular mitigation measure has been implemented. The monitoring/reporting plan shall
conform to the City's MMP and shall be approved by the Community Development Director or
City Planner prior to the issuance of building permits.

Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, based upon the
findings as follows:
a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA")and the City's local
CEQA Guidelines, the City staff prepared an Initial Study of the potential environmental effects of
the project. Based on the findings contained in that Initial Study, City staff determined that, with the
imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would
have a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of the public comment
period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
(~
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it, finds: (i) that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that
the project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission furtherfinds ,-
that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the (•
Planning Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the
Mitigated Negative Declaration.
c. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance
with the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore
adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.

PROGRAM
Project File No.: SUBTPM18710, DRC2007-00344, and DRC2007-00914
This Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) has been prepared for use in implementing the mitigation
measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the above-listed project. This program
has been prepared in compliance with State law to ensure that adopted mitigation measures are
implemented (Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code).
Program Components -This MMP contains the following elements:
1. Conditions of approval that act as impact mitigation measures are recorded with the action and
the procedure necessaryto ensure compliance. The mitigation measure conditions of approval
are contained in the adopted Resolution of Approval for the project.
2. A procedure of compliance and verification has been outlined for each action necessary. This
procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom
and when compliance will be reported.
• 3. The MMP has been designed to provide focused, yet flexible guidelines. As monitoring
progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon
recommendations by those responsible for the program.
Program Management -The MMP will be in place through all phases of the project. The project
planner, assigned by the City Planner, shall coordinate enforcement of the MMP. The project
planner oversees the MMP and reviews the Reporting Forms to ensure they are filled out correctly
and proper action is taken on each mitigation. Each City department shall ensure compliance of the
conditions (mitigation) that relate to that department.
Procedures -The following steps will be followed by the City of Rancho Cucamonga
1. A fee covering all costs and expenses, including any consultants' fees, incurred by the City in
performing monitoring or reporting programs shall be charged to the applicant.
2. A MMP Reporting Form will be prepared for each potentially significant impact and its
corresponding mitigation measure identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Checklist, attached
hereto. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and
to whom and when compliance will be reported. All monitoring and reporting documentation will
be kept in the project file with the department having the original authority for processing the
project. Reports will be available from the City upon request at the following address:

3. Appropriate specialists will be retained if technical expertise beyond the Citystaff's is needed, as
determined by the project planner or responsible City department, to monitor specific mitigation
activities and provide appropriate written approvals to the project planner.
The project planner or responsible City department will approve, by signature and date, the
completion of each action item that was identified on the MMP Reporting Form. After each
measure is verified for compliance, no further action is required for the specific phase of
development.
5. All MMP Reporting Forms for an impact issue requiring no further monitoring will be signed off
as completed by the project planner or responsible City department at the bottom of the MMP
Reporting Form.
6. Unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or addition of mitigation
measures. The project planner is responsible for approving any such refinements or additions.
An MMP Reporting Form will be completed by the project planner or responsible City department
and a copy provided to the appropriate design, construction, or operational personnel.
~•
The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to stop the work of
construction contractors if compliance with any aspects of the MMP is not occurring after written
notification has been issued. The project plan ner or responsible City department also has the
authority to hold certificates of occupancies if compliance with a mitigation measure attached ~.
hereto is not occurring. The project planner or responsible City department has the authority to
hold issuance of a business license until all mitigation measures are implemented.
8. Any conditions (mitigation) that require monitoring after project completion shall be the
responsibility of the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning Division. The Division shall require
the applicant to post any necessary funds (or other forms of guarantee) with the City. These
funds shall be used by the City to retain consultants and/or pay for City staff time to monitor and
report on the mitigation measure for the required period of time.
In those instances requiring long-term project monitoring, the applicant shall provide the City
with a plan for monitoring the mitigation activities at the project site and reporting the monitoring
results to the City. Said plan shall identify the reporter as an individual qualified to know whether
the particular mitigation measure has been implemented. The monitoring/reporting plan shall
conform to the City's MMP and shall be approved by the Community Development Director or
City Planner prior to the issuance of building permits.

• BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL: This item was considered at the January 9, 2008, Planning Commission
hearing. After receiving the staff report and public testimony on January 9, 2008, the Commission voted to
recommend approval of the Ordinance with a modification, which increased the number of permitted

After Planning Commission review on January 9, 2008, the item progressed to a City Council hearing for final
consideration on February 20, 2008. During this meeting, the City Council stated that the Ordinance woul~
be improved if it included provisions for allowing temporary signs in the right-of-way; therefore, the item wa
continued to develop these standards and to revise the Ordinance. At the end of the February 20, 2008
hearing, the City Council voted to bring the item to the City Council Temporary Sign Subcommittee (Council
Members Sam Spagnolo and Rex Gutierrez) for revisions. After Temporary Sign Subcommittee review, the
item would then return back to the Planning Commission for consideration of the revised Ordinance.
ANALYSIS: This proposed Temporary Sign Ordinance revised the existing Political Sign Section in the
Municipal Code to modify the time period for display and decrease the maximum size of a political sign to 6
square feet for residential properties. Although the City Council approved a Yard Sale Ordinance on
June 20, 2007, to adopt standards for conducting yard sales, it did not include standards for yard sale
signage. The proposed revised Ordinance addresses yard sale signs as temporary signs on private property
with restrictions with respect to duration, size limits, and number. In addition, this revised Ordinance also
includes provisions for political and temporary directional signs. The following tables compare/contrast the
proposed revised temporary sign standards with the Planning Commission standards approved on
January 9, 2008.

neighboring cities. The City Council appointed Council Members Spagnolo and Gutierrez as
subcommittee members and concluded the discussion by directing the subcommittee to study the
issue.
April 11, 2007, City Council Subcommittee Meeting: The City Council subcommittee members were
presented with a Memorandum prepared by the City Attorney's office that provided legal guidance as it
relates to developing a Temporary Sign Ordinance. The City Council subcommittee directed that the
City Attorney draft an Ordinance.

presented with a draft Temporary Sign Ordinance and recommended that it move fonrvard to the City
Council as a study session item.
:• July 18, 2007, City Council Discussion: The City Council was presented with a draft Temporary Sign
Ordinance. At the conclusion of the meeting, the City Council forvvarded the Ordinance to the Planning
Commission.
~.• September 26, 2007, Planning Commission Hearing: The Planning Commission was presented with
the draft Temporary Sign Ordinance. Public testimony was taken regarding the Ordinance. Th
majority of the concerns were voiced by real estate agents. The comments included the timeframe~
and restrictions used for political signs versus real estate signs; the definition of "public right-of-wad'
and "easement" and the placement of real estate signs within them; and the effect of sign restrictions
on their ability to do business. The item was continued to the November 14, 2007, hearing in order to
allow time for staff to perform a community outreach followed by a public workshop.
•:• November 13, 2007, Public Workshop: Discussion was held regarding the Temporary Sign Ordinance.
Staff conducted this workshop where the same concerns were voiced by small business owners and
real estate agents. The participants made a few suggestions for enforcement such as a bond program
and aself-policing program for political signs.
•3 December 12, 2007, Planning Commission Hearing. After receiving the staff report and public
testimony, Staff informed the Commission that the item would return to the City Council subcommittee
in order to comment on the public outreach effort.
• December 19, 2007, City Council Subcommittee Meeting: The Committee commented on the fact that
prohibition of signage in the public right-of-way is not new. Also, the Committee stated that cardboard
signs attached to utility poles and trees negatively impact the aesthetics of the community. The
Committee ended by stating that it was important to move forward with the Ordinance because it will
enable Code Enforcement Department to address issues with temporary signage throughout the City.

the proposed Ordinance. In addition to the increase in the number of temporary political signs, they
recommended that a policy be drafted to inform political candidates of the new temporary sign
regulations. This policy would also advise the candidates to adhere to the new Municipal Code
changes.
February 20, 2008, City Council Hearing: The City Council was presented with a staff report and
Ordinance. After receiving staffs report and public testimony, the City Council stated that the
Ordinance would be improved if it included provisions for allowing temporary signs in the right-of-way;
therefore, the item was continued to develop these standards.
March 13, 2008, City Council Subcommittee Meeting: The City Council subcommittee requested that
staff research the City of Hemet's policy/standards regarding hand-held signs.
o~ March 25, 2008, City Council Subcommitfee Meeting: The City Council subcommittee was presented
with the City of Hemet's standards as it relates to hand-held signs. They also developed provisions
that addressed temporary signs in the right-of-way.
April 2, 2008, City Council Discussion: The City Council was presented with the draft provisions that
permitted temporary signs in the public right-of-way. They were also presented with the.City of
Hemet's policy regarding hand-held signs. During this meeting, a concern that these standards were a
lessening of the restrictions was expressed; thus, the City Council did not support the standards that
• permitted all types of temporary signs in the public right-of-way and requested that the Ordinance be
revised.
o~ April 16, 2008, City Council Subcommittee Meeting: The City Council subcommittee was presented
with the revised Ordinance. After reviewing the revised Ordinance, the City Council subcommittee
expressed their support and recommended that it move forward to the full Council for an informal
review. The City Council subcommittee decided to not address animated signs at this time since the
standards are located in another section of the Municipal Code. If the City Council would like to revise
the Municipal Code to allow for animated signs, it could be brought back as a separate Ordinance.
4• May 7, 2008, City Council Discussion: The City Council informally reviewed the revised Ordinance and
requested that the item move forward to Planning Commission for consideration.
Enforcement and Education: The Temporary Sign Ordinance will be a part of the Municipal Code. Since
the Municipal Code currently includes enforcement provisions, it is not necessary to include an enforcement
provision in the Ordinance. The Code Enforcement Department will be responsible for responding to
complaints and general enforcement of the Ordinance. To educate the community, the Code Enforcement
Department intends to conduct a public outreach effort prior to the Ordinance taking effect.
FACTS FOR FINDING: The purpose of the proposed Temporary Sign Ordinance is to address the issues
associated with the proliferation of political and other temporary signage that has occurred in the community
over the years. Prior to the approval of any amendment to the Municipal Code, the Council, based upon the
recommendation of the Planning Commission, must make a finding of the consistency with the General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is
• exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA-Guidelines. The project
qualifies under Section 15061(b)(3) of the State of CEQA Guidelines because the Ordinance will impose

TO: Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: James R. Troyer, AICP, Planning Director
BY: Rina Leung, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT DRC2008-00307 - CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA -Consideration of an ordinance prohibiting the establishment and operation
of medical marijuana dispensaries in all •land use zones within the City of Rancho
Cucamonga and adding Chapter 17.44 to the City of Rancho Cucamonga Development
Code Section 17 of the Municipal Code. This item is exempt per Section 15061(b)(3) of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the ordinance will impose a
greater limitation on uses, which includes a prohibition on establishing medical marijuana
• dispensaries to reduce potential significant adverse impacts.
PROPOSAL: In November of .1996, California voters passed the Proposition 215 initiative, which
.allowed medical marijuana to be accessible to people with certain illnesses. The initiative was later
supplemented by the Medical Marijuana Program Act, which was enacted as Senate Bill 420 by the state
legislature in 2003 and became effective in January of 2004. This Act expanded the definitions of
"patient" and "primary caregiver" and created guidelines for identification cards. It defined the amount of
marijuana that patients and primary caregivers can possess.
Within the last year, the City had proactively addressed medical marijuana dispensaries by enacting
Interim Ordinances that prohibit the establishment of these uses while the City Attorney's office conducts
research on case law relating to medical marijuana dispensaries. After the City Attorney's office
completed their research, an Urgency Ordinance was adopted by City Council on April 16, 2008, which
supported a complete ban on the establishment and operation of medical marijuana dispensaries in all
zones in the City. Since the Ordinance that was adopted by the City Council is an Urgency Ordinance, it
is recommended that the Planning Commission consider a regular Ordinance and forward their
recommendation to the City Council.
BACKGROUND: The City Council held various meetings regarding medical marijuana dispensaries in
the City. The following is a chronology of the City Council meeting dates as they relate to this item.
Previous City Council Meetings regarding Medical Marijuana Dispensaries:
• March 21, 2007: The City Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 776, prohibiting the establishment
• of medical marijuana dispensaries in any zone of the City.

April 18, 2007: The City Council was provided with a status report that summarized the major legal,
governmental, and enforcement issues that are associated with medical marijuana. A copy of the
staff report has been attached to provide the City Council with background information regarding this
proposal.
May 2, 2007: The City Council approved another Interim Ordinance prohibiting the establishment of
medical marijuana dispensaries to allow sufficient time to study these uses.
April 16, 2008: The City Council adopted immediately upon introduction an Urgency Ordinance to
prohibit the establishment and/or operation of marijuana dispensaries in the City. They also directed
that the item be forwarded to Planning Commission for consideration prior to final adoption and
incorporation into the Municipal Code.
ANALYSIS/FACTS FOR FINDING: As discussed in the April 18, 2007 City Council report (Exhibit A),
there are a considerable number of adverse secondary effects linked to medical marijuana dispensaries.
Notwithstanding, the fundamental conflict between Federal and State law, police agencies throughout the
state report increased criminal and other undesirable activity in and around these uses including, but not
limited to, illegal narcotic transactions, loitering, and increased potential for personal and property crimes
(e.g., burglary and robbery). The California Police Chief's Association has compiled an extensive report
(Exhibit B) detailing the negative secondary effects associated with medical marijuana dispensaries.
During the course of research/studies conducted by the City Attorney's office within the last year, more •
cities have adopted Ordinances prohibiting medical marijuana uses. Furthermore, the City Attorney's
office cited that the City of Anaheim's Ordinance, which prohibited medical marijuana dispensaries, has
been upheld by the Orange County Superior Court. Therefore, the legal climate is more favorable for the
City of Rancho Cucamonga to prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries outright.
CORRESPONDENCE: This item was advertised as a public hearing in the Inland Vallev Daily Bulletin
newspaper with aone-eighth page ad because more than 1,000 properties would be affected by the
citywide scope of the amendment.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The project is deemed to be statutorily exempt from the provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b) (3), which applies only
to projects that have a potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. In this instance, the
Ordinance is to prohibit the establishment and/or operation of medical marijuana dispensaries.
Therefore, there can be no potential for causing a significant environmental effect.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution
recommending approval of Development Code Amendment DRC2008-00307 to the City Council for final
action and subsequent incorporation into the Municipal Code.

TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
Jack Lam, AICP, City Manager
FROM: James R. Troyer, AICP, Planning Director
BY: Michael Diaz, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: REPORT ON INTERIM ORDINANCE PROHIBITING MEDICAL MARIJUANA
DISPENSARIES IN ALL LAND USE ZONES WITHIN THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA.
RECOMMENDATION: As required by Government Code Section 65858, the purpose of this
report is to update the Council on recent developments on medical marijuana dispensaries and
the City's further review of the issue to, determine a permanent policy on dispensaries. Staff
recommends the City Council approve and file the report.
• BACKGROUND:
On March 21, 2007 the City Council approved an urgency interim ordinance establishing a
temporary prohibition on the establishment andlor operation of medical marijuana dispensaries
within any land use district of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. The interim ordinance is valid for
a period of 45 days. During the March 21, 2007 meeting, the City Council expressed its interest
in establishing the urgency ordinance to provide sufficient time to consider how the City could
proactively address the issue of medical marijuana dispensaries within the City limits.
Moreover, the Council found that there was an immediate threat to public safety, health, or
welfare,. in that that the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries before appropriate
procedures, development standards and regulations were in enacted would result in adverse
impacts to surrounding development and the welfare of the general public.
The urgency interim ordinance is set to expire on May 5, 2007. A public hearing on the matter
will be held on May 2, 2007, at which time the City Council will have the option to extend the
interim zoning ordinance for an additional time period of 10 months and 15 days.
DISCUSSION
The subject of medical marijuana dispensaries is complex. The following is a summary of the
major legal, governmental, and enforcement issues associated with the use.
Federal and State Law Conflicts
• Federal and state laws continue to be in conflict. More specifically, the issue of medical
marijuana is clouded by the conflicting and uncertain legal status of federal and state legislation

(i.e., the Federal Controlled Substances Act and the State of California approved •
Proposition 215), which has yet to be fully resolved. Under federal law, the manufacturing,
delivery, or possession of marijuana is prohibited. However, in 1996, California voters passed
Proposition 215, also known as the Compassionate Use Act, which removed criminal penalties
for the personal use, possession, and cultivation of medical marijuana by patients that have a
physician's recommendation.
In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld federal authority over marijuana, even in states where
its use for medical purposes is legal. More specifically, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that
Congress (i.e., the federal government) has the power to prohibit the local possession,
cultivation and use of marijuana. Interestingly, the Supreme Court did not go so far as to
invalidate California law permitting the medicinal use of marijuana, and no appellate court has
as yet invalidated the California law. What has resulted is a substantial controversy over the
validity of state law permitting medicinal use of marijuana when federal authorities may legally
raid medical marijuana dispensaries, shut them down, and prosecute those persons dispensing
or using marijuana inside them. The Supreme Court's decision has cast a cloud of uncertainty
over the Compassionate Use Act.
As a result, there are several cases pending in California (both in State and federal courts).
Recent experiences encountered by the City of. West Hollywood illustrate the tension between
the Federal and local governments resulting from the enforcement of federal law by federal
agents. In March of 2007, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court ruled against a woman who sought to
use marijuana to ,treat scoliosis and a brain tumor. Until a definitive ruling is achieved in the
pending cases, a clear approach on how to address and/or regulate medical marijuana
dispensaries will likely remain elusive for the meantime.
Actions by other Jurisdictions
California cities and counties have reacted differently to the conflicting laws. A large number of
cities have enacted moratoriums to study the issue and determine whether they should regulate
or prohibit dispensaries within their corporate boundaries. In 2003, the State Legislature
created guidelines (SB 420) for carrying out the medical marijuana law, but local officials across
the state still struggle with how to control the dispensaries. For example, larger California cities
such as Oakland, Berkeley, West Hollywood, have chosen to regulate this use and limit the
number of dispensaries allowed.
Local cities and counties that have or intend to adopt moratoriums include the cities of
Claremont, Montclair, and Riverside County. Moreover, the Counties of San Diego and San
Bernardino filed a lawsuit against the State alleging the State law (California Compassionate
Use Act) is unconstitutional because it is preempted by federal law. Staff is in the process of
reviewing the approach taken by several jurisdictions that ban or regulate medical marijuana
dispensaries in their communities. Since the City of Rancho Cucamonga does not have
established standards in effect, staff believes the interim zoning regulation is the appropriate
approach to take until zoning standards can be developed and enacted.
Meanwhile, advocates for patients who use prescribed marijuana to ease pain related to
numerous ailments from glaucoma to cancer argue that cities should work to regulate, rather
than ban, medical marijuana dispensaries altogether.
Enforcement Issues
There are no marijuana dispensaries currently operating within the city limits of Rancho •
Cucamonga. The closest known dispensary was one that recently shut down by court order in

the City of Claremont. In Claremont, medical marijuana dispensaries are not addressed by the
Land Use and Development Code, and the business was opened without benefit of a business
license. Legal action was necessary to enforce compliance with City regulations.
California Police Chiefs Association report), are listed below:
Since Proposition 215 took effect, police departments in several California cities have reported
problems taking place near medical marijuana dispensaries (or, so called "cannabis clubs").
The general consensus of police agencies with medical marijuana dispensaries in their service
area is that often there is criminal and other undesirable activity. Some of the major negative
and/or secondary impacts of dispensaries as identified by police agencies (including the
• Fundamental conflict between federal and state law.
• Illegal narcotic trarisactions -street dealers selling marijuana at lower prices to entice
patients from dispensaries.
• Non-residents coming into a City to purchase marijuana.
• Negative impacts to adjacent residential neighbors and businesses -complaints about
individuals (adults and juveniles) congregating/loitering in and around the dispensary.
• The problem of patients selling to non-patients.
• Increased potential for personal and property crimes (e.g., burglary and robbery) in
attempts to obtain marijuana. ,
• Increased vehicle traffic.
• Individuals observed in public that are under the influence.
In light of the potential problems associated with medical marijuana uses as listed above, the
threat to the public health and safety and welfare continues to be real and immediate. Staff
believes that without appropriate standards in place no approvals and/or permits should be
issued for medical marijuana uses.
CONCLUSION:
Given the complexity of medical marijuana issue, and the immediate threat to the public's
health, safety, and welfare presented by having no development standards in place, staff plans
to provide Council with a recommendation to extend the interim zoning ordinance for another 10
months and 15 days. Without being' able to extend this ordinance in order to complete such
preemptive planning, there is a current and immediate threat to the public health and safety
presented by the possibility that such anon-regulated use may commence without effective
regulation. During the time extension staff will continue to monitor the issues and work to
develop a permanent policy on dispensaries for Council consideration and action.

• Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
This report is respectfully presented to you with the following disclaimers;
• This report does not attempt to address the merits of Medical Marijuana (MMJ) or
the concept of its use as an alternative medicine as discussed or proposed in
Proposition 215.
• This report contains compilations of data collected by others in Law Enforcement
as wel] as media coverage and this data is identified as such.
Areas that currently act as a hindrance to a true study of this topic are;
Under Reoortin2: With few exceptions, agencies contacted stated that they felt that the
crimes related to Medical Marijuana Dispensaries were under reported, if reported at all.
Confidential informants have provided information that these additional crimes
(Robberies, Assaults and Burglaries involving Marijuana or large amounts of cash) are
not reported so as to not draw additional Law Enforcement and Media scrutiny to this
very lucrative trade. This is not unlike the thought processes employed by the Cosa
Nostra and organized street gangs here in California.
• Crime Classification: Another barrier to collection of this data is the lack of classification
of this data as MMJ related. In years past, statistical analysis of domestic violence and
hate crimes was difficult. These crimes now receive their own classification so tracking
them is much easier. However until such time as MMJ crimes receive their own
classification, separating these crimes from non MMJ related crimes is very difficult.
Over Reliance on Straight Statistical Data: Gathering statistical data on this topic would
appear to be a simple task. One would imagine that you would look at crime in a given
location prior to the arrival of a MMJ Dispensary and then look at crime afrer its arrival.
This presents several difficulties. First, based on Internet research, there appears to be
approximately 240 MMJ Dispensaries (www.canorml.ore) located in almost as many
jurisdictions. No one agency can access data from all these locations and not all agencies
compile this data. I spoke with several agency representatives and each had information
regarding this issue, however few had specific crime statistics. Secondly, not all crimes
related to MMJ take place in or around a dispensary. Some take place at the homes of the
owners, employees or patrons. Lastly, not all the "secondary issues" related to MMJ
Dispensaries are crimes. Loitering, additional vehicle and pedestrian traffic, use of MMJ
at or near the facilities are described as quality of life issues and are only really quantified
when they appear in the newspaper or the complainants appear at a City Council meeting.
Prior to discussing the reports of other Law Enforcement agencies, I would like to present
some information from our Department. While our City does not currently have a MMJ
Dispensary, this does not mean that we are immune from their effects.

On January 7, 2004 a resident of EI Cerrito was arrested for possession of marijuana for •
sale. The subject was found to be in possession of 133 grams (4.6 ounces) of marijuana,
a small amount of cash, a "replica handgun" pellet gun and three MMJ Dispensary cards
(Oakland Cannabis Buyers Collective, Cannabis Buyers Collective of Marin and
"Compassionate Caregivers" of Oakland)
On February 25, 2005, the same subject mentioned above was discovered to be growing
marijuana in his house. He was found to be in possession of 15 adult plants, 72 starter
plants, 505 grams (1. ] 0 Ibs) of processed marijuana, 50 grams (1.75 oz) of hashish
packaged for sale and two assault rifles as well as $6,000.00 in cash. The subject claimed
that these plants were MMJ. An investigation was conducted with the assistance of the
West Contra Costa County Narcotic Enforcement Team and resulted in the conviction of
the resident for Unauthorized Possession of Cannabis and Possession of an Assault
Weapon.
On July 9, 2005, during a suspicious vehicle check, one of our Officers determined that a
resident (Who is a member of the Oakland Cannabis Buyers Cooperative) possessed 55
immature plants with the intent of cultivating them and selling them to a MMJ
Dispensary. The District Attorney has filed a complaint containing two felony charges of
possession and cultivation of Marijuana. This case is awaiting adjudication as the subject
has failed to appear in court (it is believed he has fled to the state of Oregon) and a bench
warrant has been issued for his arrest.
On December 11, 2005, a traffic stop for speeding resulted in the arrest of the occupants
for the possession on Marijuana packaged for sale and $3,365.00 in cash.
On March 8, 2006 our School Resource Officer received information that several
students were ill after eating a cookie. The investigation revealed that a student had made
cookies with a butter obtained outside (secondary sale) a MMJ Dispensary containing a
highly concentrated form of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC the active ingredient in
Marijuana). The student used the "butter" to bake and then sell these cookies to other
students. After the student discovered that the cookies were so potent that some of his
fellow students had to be treated at local hospitals, instead of throwing them away, he
gave them to other students without telling them what they were laced with. This
incident resulted in at least four students requiring hospitalization and it is suspected at
least two or three others were intoxicated to the point of sickness.
From March of 2004 to May of 2006, this Department has conducted seven investigations
at EI Cerrito High School and Portola Junior High School resulting in the arrest of eight
juveniles for selling or possessing with intent to sell Marijuana on or around the school
campuses.
Gathering the data from these incidents required hours of research and examination.'
Many agencies have neither the available resources nor the inclination to gather data of
this kind. This makes presenting the data for consideration in this matter very difficult.

• Another area of importance is the possession of firearms in conjunction with large
quantities of cash and marijuana. Those who have the money and drugs want to keep
them and ann themselves to prevent robberies. Those who wish to relieve those in
possession of cash and drugs use firearms and other deadly weapons to accomplish their
task. l>,~hen speaking to those involved in the drug trade, they will tell you violence and
greed are "all just part of the game."
With the exception of those entries identified from other sources, I contacted and
interviewed representatives from each of the listed agencies. I have included newspaper
articles that either further describe events or provide additional information regarding
some of the "secondary issues".

May 19, 2004 a MMJ Dispensary "420 Primary Caregivers" obtained a business license
and began operations.
Fall 2004, The Police Department began to receive complaints from neighboring
businesses in the complex. The complaints centered around the ongoing sales of
Marijuana to subjects who did not appear to be physically ill, the smell of Marijuana
inside the ventilation system off the building and the repeated interruption to neighboring
businesses.
• January 2005, The MMJ Dispensary was robbed at gunpoint by three masked subjects
who took both money and marijuana from the business.
April 5, 2005, The Department met with the property Management Company, owners and
representatives from the businesses in the complex which housed the MMJ Dispensary.
The meeting focused on the safety of the employees and patrons of adjacent businesses.
Many neighboring businesses complained of Marijuana use on the premises and in [he
surrounding area as well as a loss of business based on the clientele of the MMJ
Dispensary "hanging around the area".
Since this meeting, two businesses have ended their lease with the property management
company. A law firm that had been in that location for ten years left citing "Marijuana
smoke had inundated their office....and they can no longer continue to provide a safe,
professional location for their clientele and employees." A health oriented business
terminated their lease after six years and moved out of the complex citing ``their business
is repeatedly interrupted and mistaken multiple times a day for "the store that has the
marijuana." The owner fears that "he or his employees may be shot if they are robbed by
mistake and the suspects do not believe they do not have Marijuana." The Property
Management Company indicated "at least five other businesses have inquired about
terminating their lease for reasons related to 420 Primary Caregivers." Arrests have been
made supporting the belief that some "qualifying patients" purchase Marijuana with a
doctor's recommendation, then supply it to their friends for illicit use.

Criminal investigations have revealed the business is obtaining its Marijuana from a •
variety of sources including Marijuana smuggled into the United Sates from South and
Central America. The Police department has conservatively estimated the "420 Primary
Caregivers" business to be generating approximately $50,000.00 a week in income.

Car Jacking Latest Pot Club Crime
Linda Sandsmark San Leandro Times
• San Leandro, CA Sept 29, 2005 -- A woman was carjacked and robbed Monday
afternoon after she left The Health Center (THC) marijuana club at 15998 East 14th
Street. Citizens in the area saw the crime occur about four blocks from THC and called
police on their cell phones..... The unidentified woman, who is from Garberville in
Humboldt County, walked back toward the clinic and her car was found on nearby
Liberty Street. "She doesn't want to pursue a criminal complaint in spite of the fact she
was carjacked," says Alameda County Sheriffls Department spokesman Lt. Dale Amaral.
"When you have this kind of drug distribution center it's an absolute magnet for every
thug in the nine Bay Area counties. We're running from call to call." Amaral points out
that no matter how armored the clinic buildings are, the people entering and exiting are
still targets. He advises them to be aware of their surroundings and to drive to the nearest
police station or flag down an officer if they think they are being followed. Crimes
including burglaries and robberies at many of the dispensaries have caused widespread
community concern......lt's a target-rich environment," says Amaral. "The sheriff s
department is devoting a tremendous amount of resources to these clubs.........Clinic
location has also had an impact on neighborhoods. Though the clubs may not be selling
directly to students, the county's School Resource Officers report a 36-percent increase in
arrests on nearby school campuses for minors possessing marijuana, possibly due to
increased supply in the area.

• Excerpts from:
Pot club robbed for third time itt a year
By David Scharfettberg, Daily Pla~aet staff (06-07-02)
Club had promised to limit amount of cash, marijuana stashed there
Four men stole $1,500 and $3,500 worth of marijuana from the Berkeley Medical Herbs
pot club yesterday after two of them were allowed on site without proper identification.
The afternoon heist renewed concerns about the integrity of the club's security and
reignited some anger in the neighborhood. "1 think it's a public nuisance and I think it
needs to be closed," said City Councilmember Linda Mayotte incident marks the third
time in a year robbers have stormed the medicinal marijuana club, located in a small
brick building at 1627 University Avenue. The last robbery, in December, prompted a
rash of concern from city officials about security at the club. Medical Herbs responded to
that by closing at 4 p.m. so it would only be open during daylight hours. The club hired a
licensed security guard, installed video cameras, and it agreed to limit the amount of cash
and pot on the premises, among other measures....T~vo Latino men approached the front
gate on University Avenue Wednesday about 2:30 p.m., said Geshuri. The men failed to
show the identification cards that are required of every patient but were let through the
gate because they claimed to know owner Ken Estes. The security guard relayed the
message to general manager Randy Moses, who opened the building's main door to
confirm the story, then closed the door without turning the lock, Geshuri said. At that
point, one suspect pulled a gun and the other a knife, forcing their way into the building.
The suspects told everyone to lie on the ground. They took the cash and marijuana and
fled, Geshuri said. Geshuri said the club's security cameras were out for repairs
• Wednesday. Police who had been scouting the premises to prevent robberies had lefr only
minutes before the incident, Geshuri said....... One neighbor who did not want to be
identified said he saw the two men meeting two other men waiting outside in a late
model, tan vehicle in which they all got away. "The guys who robbed it ran out with a
big satchel," the neighbor said, adding [hat he disapproves of the marijuana club. "This is
a very attractive place for other drug dealers to rob. It's not something we want in our
neighborhood." Geshuri acknowledged that a few neighbors are opposed to the club, but
said most of the residents support Medical Herbs in its mission. The club had pledged
after the December robbery to keep no more than $1,000 and one pound of marijuana on
site. But Geshuri said the robbers on Wednesday made off with $500 more than that and
as much as apound-and-a-half of marijuana. The witness opposed to the club said theft
proves that management is not keeping its pledge to prevent robberies and ensure safety.
But Geshuri said the incident was an aberration. "It's rare that we have that much product
on site," she said, arguing that the club had just received a shipment and was in the
process of dividing it up for patients. She said Medical Herbs keeps most of its supply
' off-site, at secure locations.

DAMS (Excerpts from Staff Report to Davis City Council: Medical Marijuana June 13,

In summary, the experiences of other cities that already have dispensaries are bad.
Dispensaries have experienced robberies themselves; legitimate patients have been
robbed of their marijuana as they leave the facility; people purchasing marijuana at the
dispensaries have been caught reselling the marijuana nearby; street level dealers have
begun selling marijuana and other drugs nearby in an effort to undersell the dispensary;
some dispensaries have doctors present in their facility who will recommend marijuana as
a course of treatment forjust about any patient complaint; and many dispensaries do not
take serious steps to ensure they are selling only to legitimate patients or their caregivers.
When asked, many of the police departments that already have facilities in their cities
said that if Davis did not already have a dispensary, we should take steps to prohibit one
from opening in the city.

LAKE COUNTY IMPACTS
Sheriff Rod Mitchell, advised the following:
• Lake County has one marijuana dispensary in Upper Lake (Two as of this

• The biggest problem is the doctor, close by the dispensary who is known across
the state for being liberal in his recommendations to use marijuana for a fee of
$175
• Many "patients" come from hours away and even out of state, Oregon
specifically, to get a marijuana recommendation from the doctor
• Upper Lake has been impacted by the type of people coming for the marijuana
doctor and dispensary. Citizens report to the Sheriff that the people coming to
Upper Lake for marijuana look like drug users ("dopers").
• One quilt shop owner has told the sheriff that she does not feel safe anymore
because of the type of people drawn to the marijuana doctor and the dispensary,
which are located close together in the very small town.
• They also have a notorious marijuana grower who beat prosecution for cultivation
by making a medical claim. Law enforcement has taken a hands off approach •
even though he is blatantly violating the law.
• The Marijuana grower has recently claimed to be a church to avoid paying taxes.

LAYTONVILLE
Crane by QUINCY CROMER/The Daily Journal (Excerpts from the article)
The owner of Mendo Spiritual Remedies in Laytonville and Hemp Plus Ministry in
Ukiah -- who says he provides medical marijuana to more than a thousand people in
Mendocino County --will be in court next week to face charges for cultivation of
marijuana.
Les Crane, founder and self-proclaimed reverend of the two churches where medical
marijuana is available locally, said some 5,000 cannabis plants and his life savings --
about $6,000 converted into gold -- were seized by the Mendocino County Sheriffs
Office on May 16. "They came here because a guy was coming to rob my house.
1 called them to come and solve the problem and then they found out about the grow. We
showed them all the documentation and they left and went and got a search warrant and
came back and searched my church," Crane said.

THE PRESS DEMOCRAT
A Laytonville pot guru who founded two Mendocino County medicinal cannabis
dispensaries was shot to death during an apparent robbery in his home early Friday
morning. Les Crane, who called his pot dispensaries churches and referred to himself as
a reverend, said he was in the business to help ailing people, not to make money. He had
said he had nearly 1,000 patients. He was killed at about 2:30 a.m. Friday in his home,
which is about a mile from the center of Laytonville.... Two other people in Crane's
home at the time of the shooting were beaten....Crane's death is believed to be related to
his marijuana-growing and dispensing activities, Mendocino County authorities said. "I
am totally surprised we haven't had more robberies and violent crimes associated with
these things because of the amount of money involved and the value of the product,"
Sheriff Tony Craver said. Crane's Ukiah cannabis dispensary, Hemp Plus, offered exotic
varieties of pot that sell for as much as $350 an ounce. He also had a dispensary in
Laytonville. He called marijuana "the tree of life" and said God placed.it on Earth to
benefit man. His religious credentials were issued by the Universal Life Church, which
supplies certificates through the mail and the Internet. Sheriffs Lt. D.J. Miller provided
few details of the crime, pending further investigation, including how many times Crane
was shot or if any money or items were taken. Mendocino County officials had doubts
about Crane's purpose for growing pot, and in May he was arrested for marijuana
cultivation and several thousand pot plants were confiscated from his home. The criminal

LOS ANGELES
RECENT INVESTIGATIONS
The County Ordinance does not specify who may dispense medical marijuana and what
dosage is appropriate for a particular illness. Furthermore, many dispensaries contract
with physicians who issue the recommendations without examining the individual to
verify they are in fact ill and using the marijuana for the illness. In May 2005, the LAPD
began investigating Compassionate Caregivers Group (CCG) Inc., a medical marijuana
dispensary located in West Hollywood, that bordered the City of Los Angeles. The'
dispensary was one of seven CCG medical marijuana dispensaries throughout the state.
The owner of CCG, a marijuana trafficking fugitive from another state, also owned Green
Medicine Group (GMG) that referred prospective patients to their group of doctors
throughout the state. One of the GMG doctors saw as many as 49 patients a day charging
from $150-$250 per patient. The same doctor saw 293 patients in one week. The doctor
allegedly examined each patient from aclosed-circuit television monitor and a clerk in
another office where the patient was, handed out pre-signed medical recommendations.
Because there is no ordinance, procedure, guideline or anything to regulate dispensaries
and to whom or how they disperse drugs, they are free to distribute as much marijuana as
they want and to anyone, whether they are adults or young people. Young people from
all over Los Angeles County flocked to CCG to buy marijuana and then returned to their
respective communities to conduct street sales of the drug. No one on the premises had
medical or pharmaceutical training or licensing to distribute marijuana, edibles, plants
and liquids. There was no first aid kit, defibrillator or trauma kit present at the location in
case of a medical emergency. Furthermore, the business promoted the sale and •
cultivation of 60 strains of marijuana, of which, only six strains were for medical
purposes. Evidence was also recovered at the scene that showed the dispensary was in
business to make a profit. Over $1.7 million in cash alone was received during the month
of March 2005. And, most importantly, only three medical marijuana recommendations
were found for patients residing in Los Angeles County, yet they provided medical
marijuana to an average of 300 patients per week. The County Ordinance provides for
the sales and consumption of edible marijuana. Edibles are food products, i.e. soda pop,
peanut butter, candy, bakery items, jam and other liquids that contain various levels of
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive agent of marijuana. There were no
regulations in the ordinance for the quality control, potency, dosage and legality of the
products sold. There is no Food and Drug Administration approval of the products. On
March 23, 2006 in Oakland, "Beyond Bomb," one of a handful of manufacturers and
distributors of edible marijuana products, who distribute edibles to medical marijuana
dispensaries in'California and the US, was searched by the Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA). The owner was arrested for marijuana trafficking. The area of
the company used for processing and packaging edibles was atrocious. No sanitary
precautions were taken whatsoever and the area was absolutely filthy and vermin was
present. In addition, the company sold edibles in packaging resembling copyrighted and
trademarked food items. Beyond Bomb used the same logo, candy wrapper colors and
derivatives of the names of legal products, i.e. "Buddafinga" had the similar color
wrapper and logo as the NestIeUSA candy bar "Butterfinger." Over 20 different
legitimate products were found that had infringed copyrights and trademarks in this
manner.
14
H ~20
• In addition, legitimate candy bars were opened and the chocolate was laced with THC
and then repackaged in the new labeling. There was no explanation for " 3X," "6X," or
"1 OX" markings on the wrappers of edible products (according to operators of
dispensaries the markings indicate the potency ofTHC in the product). Lastly, there are
no directions on the edible packages for the uses, dosage, warnings (allergy alerts,
stomach bleeding and alcohol), drug facts, expiration date and other information, as
required for over the counter drugs.
Lastly, the ordinance called for a security system and guards for each location. This
requirement has not been an issue in the past. Medical marijuana dispensaries typically
have had more extensive security systems than Sav-On, Rite Aide or Walgreen drug
stores, and yet they still have been robbed and assaults and murders have occurred
because they keep exorbitant amounts of cash and marijuana on hand. In addition, the
security systems and guards do nothing for the surrounding businesses or area. Many of
the dispensaries locally employ street gang members with extensive criminal histories as
security guards and many of them are armed. In addition, where medical marijuana
dispensaries have sprung up, the surrounding area has seen a 50 percent increase in Part I
crime. Several unincorporated areas within the County of Los Angeles border the City of
Los Angeles. Compounding this issue, the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department has
a policy of not enforcing the law at medical marijuana dispensaries. Therefore, if the
City of Los Angeles does adopt the same ordinance, crime will significantly increase in
these areas making it extremely difficult to enforce the law.

MENDOCINO COUNTY
Marijuana: Marijuana Crop Worth $1.5 Billion in One California County Alone,
Paper Estimates 12/2/05
Northern California's Mendocino County has been known for marijuana growing for at
least 30 years. Part of the state's legendary Emerald Triangle of high-grade pot
production along with neighboring Humboldt and Trinity counties, Mendocino has long
profited from the underground economy. Last week, a local newspaper, the Willits News,
tried to gauge just how large the profits may be, and the result is startling.
According to the News, the local marijuana industry will add $1.5 billion to the county's
economy this year. With Mendocino's legal economy estimated at about $2.3 billion, that
means the pot economy is almost two-thirds as large as all other legal economic activities
combined. When combining the aboveground and underground economies, the marijuana
industry is responsible for roughly 40% of all Mendocino County economic activity, a
figure approaching the proportions of the Afghan opium economy. As the News is quick
to acknowledge, because marijuana is an illicit commodity, no one really knows how big
the industry in the county is, so the paper relied on extrapolations based on the number of
plants seized and on information it acquired about current wholesale (pound level and up)
marijuana prices in the area. The County of Mendocino Marijuana Eradication Team
(COMMET) seized 144,000 plants this year, and District Attorney told the paper
COMMET normally seized between five and eight percent of the crop, a little less than
the 10% rule of thumb for estimating all drug seizures.
•
15
H -21
The paper more than compensated for the lowball seizure rate by also factoring in a 20% •
crop loss to spoilage. Following the formula, the News estimated 1.8 million plants were
sown in the county this year, with 1.32 million surviving droughts, floods, bugs, mold,
and cops. And while both the DEA and Mendocino County law enforcement like to say
that one plant produces one pound, the newspaper consulted local grower "Dionysius
Greenbud," who said the average yield is closer to a half pound -- a very rough estimate,
given a local crop that consists of both high-yielding outdoor plants and smaller, lower-
yielding indoor plants. The paper's in-the-ballpark estimate for total pot production in the
county is thus some 662,000 pounds. The paper assumed a wholesale price of $2200 a
pound, based on reports from local growers, and a simple multiplication yields a total of
$1.5 billion. Is that figure out of line? It's hard to say. In last year's "Reefer Madness:
Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market," Eric Schlosser quoted
former DEA officials as estimating the value of all marijuana grown nationwide at $25
billion. While it is difficult to believe that one California County accounts for nearly 5%
of all pot grown in the US, who is to say different? (Source

Modesto, CA June 17, 2006 -- Drug agents looked past the soaps and lotions at The

There also were ~0 to ] 00 pre-wrapped, marijuana-laced brownies and an equal number
of marijuana-laced cookies. The store had a menu of prices and types of marijuana, with
the different varieties neatly packed in Tupperware containers, Rea said. "They offered
full customer service," Rea said. Local, state and federal drug agents raided the store
about 9 a.m. Friday and stayed until about 1 p.m., seizing property and cataloging the
inventory, sheriffs spokeswoman Gina Legurias said.

• They also seized about $20,000 in cash. Approximately 30 people came to the store
looking to buy marijuana while officers were there, Rea said. About half of them had
California medical marijuana cards, indicating they were suffering from cancer,
glaucoma or other ailments. Marijuana is believed to help relieve the symptoms.
However, the store isn't a licensed medical marijuana dispensary. The rest of the potential
customers didn't have cards, Rea said. "They sold to anyone and everyone," he said. No
customers were arrested. They were interviewed to give officers an idea of how much
business the store did, Rea said. Michael O'Leary was booked into the Stanislaus County
Jail in Modesto on charges of possession of marijuana for sale and criminal conspiracy.
He was released on $25,000 bail Friday afternoon.

members were robbed individually. Oakland was one of the first U.S. cities to legitimize
the use of medical marijuana by deputizing a former club on Broadway as a distributor.
That dispensary was shut down by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency in 1998, but a
number ofmarijuana-related businesses have sprung up in the neighborhood to replace it.

July 7, 2006: Medical marijuana dispensaries charged with drug trafficking
ALLISON HOFFMAN Associated Press
Federal prosecutors accused six people Thursday of illegally trafficking pot under the
cover of California's medical marijuana laws - in some cases processed into baked goods,
"Reefer's" peanut butter cups and "Splif' peanut butter. Federal and state search warrants
were executed at more than 11 locations throughout San Diego in a morning raid, and at
least five people were arrested, authorities said. Federal charges were expected to be filed
Friday, according to U.S. Attorney Carol Lam.

"They made thousands of dollars every day," Lam said. "Their motive was not the •
betterment of society. Their motive was profit." One federal indictment accuses John
Sullivan, 38, of growing more than 100 marijuana plants for distribution and distributing
marijuana or processed marijuana-based goods from his two dispensaries, the Purple Bud
Room in Pacific Beach and THC in San Diego. Five managers of the Co-op San Diego
were indicted separately on similar allegations. Wayne Hudson, 42; Christopher Larkin,
34; and Ross McManus, 39, are alleged to have distributed marijuana products through
the co-op. Scott Wright, 40, and Michael Ragin, 34, are accused of growing hundreds of
plants for the co-op at their homes. Messages left at the dispensaries were not
immediately returned. Also, the San Diego County District Attorney has filed state
charges against one of the men named in the federal indictment and nine others for
selling marijuana and possessing marijuana for sale. State charges were filed against
Sullivan's THC dispensary and four other independent operations in San Diego.
Prosecutors alleged that these dispensaries sold marijuana or marijuana-based products
with little concern for legitimate medical need. "The party is over," District Attorney
Bonnie Dumanis said at a news conference with federal prosecutors. She added that
Proposition 215, the ballot measure that legalized marijuana for medical purposes, has
been "severely abused by neighborhood pot dealers opening up storefronts." Complaints
from residents living near dispensaries precipitated an investigation beginning in
September 2005 by the San Diego po]ice, the county sheriffs department, the Drug
Enforcement Administration, Dumanis said. Dumanis said that her office has "no
intention" of preventing people who suffer chronic illnesses like AIDS, glaucoma or
cancer from using medically prescribed marijuana to ease their pain. But San Diego
County has fought an ongoing battle to limit the impact of the medical marijuana law, •
which was approved in 1996 by 55 percent of voters. San Diego has ignored a state
requirement that counties issue identification cards to registered medical marijuana users
and maintain a registry of people who apply for the cards. In December, county
supervisors sued the state of California and its director of health services in federal court,
saying federal law that prohibits marijuana use trumps the state law. The county moved
that lawsuit to state court in February to avoid bringing the case to the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals, which has sided in recent rulings with medical marijuana supporters.
That suit is still pending. The men indicted by the federal grand jury face a maximum of
40 years in prison and $2 million in fines for each of the allegations listed in the
indictment, authorities said. The San Diego County District Attorney's office released a
complaint sent last week to the state medical board against four physicians alleging that
they wrote "recommendations" for medical marijuana use -doctor's notes required by
state law - to apparently healthy individuals.

City hopes to close legal pot dispensary
July 8, 2006 By Linda Lou UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER SAN MARCOS - An
existing medical-marijuana dispensary here survived a City Council vote in February that
banned any more dispensaries from opening.
•
20
H -26
• It was able to receive a business license because it called itself a nutritional supplement
store, city officials said. But the dispensary's ability to remain open is now uncertain. On
Thursday, local and federal law enforcement officers went to the storefront on Rancho
Santa Fe Road and seized all of the marijuana and products laced with the drug's
byproducts as part of raids of dispensaries countywide. Now the city is intent on shutting
down the business, run by Legal Ease Inc. of San Diego, because it's been burglarized
several times since the council's vote, said City Manager Rick Gittings. The city contends
it's a threat to the community's health, safety and welfare, violating the provisions the city
imposed in February when it allowed the dispensary to stay open, Gittings said. The
concept of providing medical marijuana to patients who really need it has good
intentions, but as indicated by state and federal prosecutors this week, medical marijuana
dispensaries are fronts for drug peddling, Gittings said. Recently, Legal Ease asked the
city to transfer its business license to a new location on Grand Avenue. The city rejected
the request in a letter sent to Legal Ease last month. The letter said that another business
near the dispensary's current location was burglarized because it was mistaken for the
dispensary. The letter also said Legal Ease had failed at least once to submit security
tapes of its premises and has failed to reveal what was stolen in the burglaries. Though
the letter didn't say the city wanted to close the business, that conclusion is "painfully
obvious," Gittings said. City officials will meet with Legal Ease's representatives next
week to discuss the situation, he said. Gittings said he doesn't know when the dispensary
would be closed. When reached earlier this week, Henry Friesen, Legal Ease's attorney,
said that he hoped to clear up any miscommunication with the city. He said he thought
the new location would be approved, based on discussions with representatives from the
• Sheriff Department's San Marcos substation and the Fire Department. Sgt. Gary Floyd,
supervisor of San Marcos' street narcotics and gang unit, said he's not aware that Legal
Ease had talked with the Sheriffs Department about relocating. He said that after some
recent early-morning burglaries, the dispensary installed roll-up metal security covers
over the door and window because thieves had smashed the glass to get inside. In
Thursday's raid, dozens of candy bars and cartons of ice cream containing THC, a
marijuana byproduct, were confiscated, Floyd said. Bags of packaged marijuana and
larger bags of the drug used to refill the smaller ones were also taken, he said. No one
was arrested. In December, a federal drug agent said he was able to purchase marijuana
at the site with a forged doctor's recommendation.

June 23, 2005 3 S.F. pot clubs raided in probe of organized crime •
Medical marijuana dispensaries used as front for money laundering, authorities say.
Federal authorities raided three San Francisco medical marijuana dispensaries
Wednesday, and investigators arrested at least 13 people as part of an alleged organized
crime operation using the clubs as a front to launder money. Agents seized marijuana
and other items from two cannabis clubs on Ocean Avenue in the Ingleside district and a
third on Judah Street in the Inner Sunset district. The raids were the first in the Bay Area
since the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a blow to the medical marijuana movement two
weeks ago by ruling that the federal government had the authority to prosecute people
whose activities are legal under state Iaw.....Twenty people were charged in an
indictment that federal authorities planned to unseal today. Authorities would not
comment on the specific allegations against them. Authorities said.....that the operation
controlled at least 10 warehouses where marijuana was grown in large quantities and that
those involved were bringing in millions of dollars. One warehouse in Oakland that
federal agents raided earlier this month was capable of growing $3 million worth of
marijuana annually, investigators said. The marijuana ostensibly was for cannabis clubs,
but the amount being grown was far more than needed to supply the dispensaries,
authorities said.

June 27, 2006: Medical marijuana dispensary robbed during S.F. Gay Pride Parade
Adam Martin San Francisco Examiner
Thieves apparently took advantage of Sunday's 36th Annual San Francisco Gay Pride
Parade and Celebration to commit this year's second robbery of a medical marijuana
dispensary. According to police and the club's proprietor, two men entered Emmalyn's
California Cannabis Clinic at 1597 Howard St. about 1:30 p.m. Sunday. They held up the
clerk and stole cash and inventory while most of the staff was handing out fliers at the
Gay Pride Parade. Sunday's holdup marked The City's second pot club robbery of the
year. The Purple Heart dispensary at 1326 Grove St. was robbed Feb. 3, San Francisco
Police Lt. John Loftus said. There were four such robberies in 2005, Loftus said. Loftus
said clubs are attractive to thieves because "it's a big cash business, and marijuana is
expensive." He said that so far, none of the victims with whom the department has
worked has been able to recover their inventory.
Emmalyn's proprietor John Baumgartner said he and his staff felt safe in their trade until
Sunday. "We never felt threatened," he said in an interview Monday. "We usually have
two people on duty. Because of the gay pride day, I happened to be out with other staff
passing out fliers and left one person in the store. We left ourselves open."
The two men who robbed the dispensary had been in about an hour prior to the crime and
bought some marijuana.

H ~28
• When they returned, Baumgartner said, "they put a gun to my clerk's head, had him lie
down on the floor, then they robbed him and the store. They took everything in the place.
They emptied out the cash registers and the counters." Baumgartner said the club will
remain closed for the near future while he upgrades security. "They took all the
inventory 1 had," he said, but he said the crime was captured on security cameras, whose
tapes will be reviewed in the investigation.

Murder in a Head Shop
Will David Cruz's killer ever be found? By William Dean Hinton
ON MAY 10, right around 8:30pm, Jonathan Cruz dropped in on his brother at the
Rainbow Smoke Shop on West San Carlos Street...... About half an hour later, Jonathan
left his brother, who was preparing to close the shop and head over to the Rainbow
owner's home for dinner that night. What happened next is still somewhat of a mystery.
Shortly after Jonathan departed, someone walked into the shop and killed David Cruz
with a single bullet wound to the back of his head, just above the left ear. No money was
taken from the register, and the store wasn't ransacked.
When the owner, Suzie Andrews, was allowed back inside, a month after the shooting,
everything appeared to be normal except for the bloodstain in the doorway leading to a
small body-piercing room. The killing was essentially the end of Andrew's shop. After
0 years as owner, she was afraid to be in her own store. She began carrying a .38 with
• hollow-point bullets and closed the Rainbow's doors two hours earlier than before
David's death. She finally closed the business permanently on New Year's Eve, sticking
the remaining bongs, handpipes, hookahs, T-shirts and porn tapes into storage, where
they might eventually be sold on eBay. David Cruz's killer, meanwhile, has never been
identified. Police can usually determine a murder suspect within 48 hours of a shooting,
even if they're unable to apprehend him. The Cruz case is approaching the nine month
mark with no credible theory why David was shot.

Friday, February 17, 2006 at 12:13, PM Commercial marijuana operation shut down.
On 2/16/05, the Sonoma County Narcotic Task Force, SCNTF, and the County of
Mendocino Marijuana Eradication Team, COMMET completed an investigation
involving alarge-scale commercial marijuana growing operation.
At the first residence on Little Creek Rd., agents located a marijuana growing operation
where "starter" plants were being cultivated. These plants would eventually be moved to
the larger grow rooms as they matured.
As agents collected evidence, Kenneth D. Brenner, 57 yrs, of Annapolis arrived at the
residence. When agents contacted Brenner, they located grow equipment in the bed of his
truck. He was detained and returned to his residence. At Brenner's residence, agents
seized numerous firearms. Agents also seized an AK47, a Colt AR15, and a .308 sniper
rifle. Additional documents linking Brenner to the growing operation were seized. The
indoor grow operation included 4 buildings which were located approximately a quarter
ofa mile off Annapolis Rd. in the thick brush. The grow buildings ranged from 100'X 30'
to 30'x 20'. The buildings were constructed of plywood, with the exteriors painted black,
and concealed under the thick canopy of trees. The plants were growing in a hydroponics
type system, under approximately ] 20 high intensity lights. The lighting equipment alone
is valued at $48,000.00. Agents located a camouflaged, insulated concrete bunker which
housed a 125KW diesel generator. This generator was seized and valued at
approximately $75,000.00. The total number of plants was approximately 1700. Agents
determined the plants when harvested would yield approximately 50 pounds of
marijuana. The marijuana would have a street value of $150,000.00. As agents continued
their searching, they seized over 3,000 live rounds of ammunition in one of the grow
buildings. The ammunition matched the same type of assault rifles seized at Brenner's
residence. Agents then discovered numerous metal military type ammunition cans hidden
in the area. When the cans were opened, the agents discovered 22 solid bars of silver, and
antique silver coins. The bars each weighed 9ozs., with an estimated value of $30,000.00.
The Drug Enforcement Administration was contacted to consider the adoption of,this
case on a federal level. Mr. Brenner was released at his residence. The case will be under
further review by the United States Attorney's Office.
For further information contact Detective Sergeant Chris Bertoli at (707) S6S-5441.

On 1/4/06, the Sonoma County Narcotics Task Force completed a three month
investigation involving the sales of methamphetamine in the City of Cloverdale. Through
the use of undercover purchases, Task Force Agents identified a residence on South
Cloverdale Boulevard as the source of methamphetamine. When agents served a search
warrant at the residence, they located 212 pounds of manicured marijuana. The marijuana
had been concealed in various locations on the property. Along with the marijuana,
agents seized a half ounce of "crystal" methamphetamine, ascale, packaging material,
and pay/owe records. As agents continued their search, they located an AK-47 assault
rifle with 3 fully loaded 30 round magazines next to the rifle. A stolen sawed-off 12
gauge shotgun, 2 additional rifles, and one loaded semi-automatic handgun were also
located in the same location.
While searching the residence, agents encountered three children living at the residence
with their parents. The ages of the children were 6,7, and 8 years. As agents searched,
they discovered approximately 3 pounds of marijuana within the same room as the
children were discovered sleeping. The estimated street value of the marijuana is
$636,000.00 dollars. The methamphetamine is valued at $450.00.

CALIFORNIA CHIEFS OF POLICE
The California Chiefs of Police outlined their collective opinion on their web site;
Law Enforcement Concerns to Medical Marijuana Dispensaries;
• It violates Federal Law
• Street dealers selling at lower prices to entice patients away from dispensaries
• Non-residents coming into city to purchase Marijuana
• Neighboring businesses have experienced a loss of customers
• Increase in unreported crime to avoid negative publicity to the Dispensary
•
28
H34
• Problem of patients selling to non-patients (similar to providing alcohol to a
juvenile waiting outside a liquor store
• Documented cases of robberies outside MMJ Dispensaries
• Dispensaries create alternative methods to market products -such as food items
called Buddafingers, Munchy Way, Rasta Reese's and Puff-a- Mint Pattie
• Complaints from patients that other illegal drugs are being sold at the dispensary
• Marijuana dispensaries perpetuate asub-culture that openly supports behavior
consistent with criminal activity and publishes instructional material on the web.
Examples include:
1. Assume you are under surveillance if you are in any way involved in
providing medical marijuana to patients.
2. Do not discuss sensitive matters on the phone, through the mail, by e-mail,
or in you home, car, dispensary collectives or office.
3. Don't gossip, brag or ask for compromising or unnecessary information
about medical marijuana operations and activities.
4. 'You should be cautious of theft. Many patients and care providers have
been robbed because the wrong person knows sensitive information
• Management from an established dispensary told police that they cannot keep the
criminal element out.
CALIFORNIA NARCOTIC OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
• Agents have conducted sting operations on web sites such as "Craigslist" and recently
conducted an investigation which resulted in the arrest of a subject for the sale of three
pounds of marijuana as well as possession of an additional four pounds. This subject was
an employee of a local MMJ Dispensary.
In all of these communities, law enforcement leaders were concerned with the impacts to
the public health, safety and welfare by the commercial marijuana dispensing enterprise.
All wished that they did not exist in their community. The trouble seems to occur when a
large number of marijuana users, legal (under State law) and illegal gather at one location
making them easy targets for illegal drug dealers; those freelance illegal drug dealers who
are trying to recruit individuals with a doctors recommendation to legitimize (under State
law) their sales and possession; and those who wish to prey upon the ill to steal their
marijuana.
This is compounded by the vast amounts of cash and little or no oversight of the
processes of prescription, procurement and sales of MMJ. All of these impacts are
avoidable if the commercial marijuana dispensing business were not allowed to locate in
our community.

H-35
Medical Marijuana Doctor's •
Another area of contention is the apparent lack of oversight regarding who receives a
physician's recommendation for MMJ and the process in doing so. One doctor who is
touted as a "MMJ Doctor" is a practitioner in the City of EI Cerrito. It is reported that
our local doctor has issued over ten thousand recommendations for MMJ in the ten years
since Prop. 215 was enacted in ] 996. Research on the Internet has revealed that the cost
to patients to receive their initial recommendation ranges from $125.00 to $250.00. If
these figures are accurate, this one doctor has made $1,250,000 to 2,500,000 over the past
ten yearsjust in issuing MMJ recommendations. These recommendations have to be
renewed every one to two years at the cost of $0.00 to $100.00. This same doctor has _
repeatedly been the target of investigations regarding his practices related to MMJ and is
currently on probation with the Medical Board of California as a result of investigations
into 47 complaints, all of which were referred by law enforcement or district attorneys.
And this is how his web site explains this;
Medical Board of California v Tod H. Mikuriya, M.D.
Since 1993, the Medical Board of California have had various ongoing investigations into
Dr. Mikuriya's use of cannabinoids in his medical practice. Beginning in 1993 with rural
county probation officers turning him in to the medical board for prescribing Marinol to
probationers. The initial investigation resulted in a letter in Dr. Mikuriya's file. With the
passage of the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, outlying Sheriff Deputies and District
Attorneys began flooding the Medical Board with bogus complaints. Nearly 50
complaints were filed, none came from patients, health care professionals or patient
families--none alleged any harm to patients. The medical board initiated multiple •
investigations. In 2003 Dr. Mikuriya had a hearing in front of an Administrative Law
Judge which resulted in the worst of the allegations being dismissed. (Dismissed charges
included unprofessional conduct and incompetence.) However, Dr. Mikuriya was
convicted for negligence and failing to keep adequate records. In April of 2004 he was
placed on probation which includes a practice monitor, cost recovery ($70,000), and '
various other indecencies. Appeals of all charges are pending and continue. This page
and the associated links contain all of the legal documents in this matter, as well as
interpretations of why it occurred and the politics that surround it by Dr. Mikuriya. All of
these materials are being made available to the public and any interested party as a means
for Dr. Tod to show that [his entire production was--and remains--a political action and
has nothing to do with patient care and/or harm.

Another interesting concept is that even the doctors involved in this industry appear to do
a "cash only" business.

Doctor's orders: Get high
A Trip info the medical marijuana demimonde smokes out America's confusion
about drugs, pleasure and moralih•. By Chris Colin

Jan. 31, 2001 ~ SAN FRANCISCO -- To get pot, you can stand on 16th and Mission and
wait for someone to approach you, and wonder if he's a cop, and wonder if he's going to
rob you, and wonder if his pot is laced with strychnine. Or you can have a dull pain in
your right ear. In a green box on the back page of the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Dr.
R. Stephen Ellis advertises medical marijuana physician evaluations forjust about
anyone. The ad contains no explicit offers or promises, just a list of symptoms that
presumably qualify one for legal pot: "Anorexia ... chronic pain ... arthritis .., migraine, or
ANY other condition for which marijuana provides relief." This is from California Health
& Safety Code 11362.5, implemented afrer California passed Proposition 215, also
known as the Medical Marijuana/Compassionate Use Act, in 1996. In case his point is
unclear, the ad goes on to interpret "ANY": asthma, neuropathy, HIV discomfort,
constipation, old injury pains," etc. At the bottom, boldfaced, underlined, in caps, we're
reassured: "It's THE LAW!" My ear hurts, 1 tell the assistant over the phone. He [ells me
to bring $200 cash. No check or credit card? 1 ask. Cash, he says. Ellis' office is at the
end of a long, dark corridor in a tall building next to a fabric store. The $200 cash does
not go toward interior decoration. A cardboard sign with Ellis' name is taped to the glass
on the wood door, which appears to be a good 50 years old. This is medical marijuana
noir. That Philip Marlowe isn't smoking a cigarette on the other side seems to be a
miscalculation on the director's part. Not that the other side isn't dark. In the grimy
waiting room, which is just a little bigger than a glass of whiskey, six tired men in plastic
chairs take their eyes off the linoleum only briefly. "I have an appointment," I say to
Ellis' assistant behind the window. He's young, wearing a sweat shirt. "Have a seat," he •
says, handing me a clipboard. There shouldn't be enough room for two camps in the tiny
room, but the six patients manage to segregate themselves. To my left are the ill; three
men between 35 and 50 sink into their chairs and stare at things in the floor that [can't
see. Their eyes are glassy, and two of their heads are chemo-bald. To my right are three
young men, none over 22 surely. They slump too, but with attitude, not sickness. They
have baggy jeans and each has acne. The young camp looks at its shoes. The man
directly to my left says he has glaucoma. He's grumpy about waiting. The man to his left
says he's new to medicinal marijuana and is shaking and giddy. The man to his left sells
sports tickets for a living, and is doing so on a cell phone, apparently unfazed by his
circumstances. The grump beside me is New Agey and shakes his head whenever the cell
phone rings. To my right are frauds. "1 hurt my back playing football," the big one next
to me says. He grins conspiratorially, as if he's never touched a football in his stoner life.
Across from us a raver taps his toes. He grins, too, when I make eye contact. The surfer
next to him grins too. "1 better get this before my man Nate's party Friday," he says to no
one in particular. "How long does it take to get the prescription filled?" I ask. "My other -
friend got some from a San Francisco dispensary two days afrer his evaluation," he says.
1 wonder how many stammers it would take to undermine the medical marijuana cause.
(This line ofthinking is a vector from the anti-pot camp's faulty premise; penicillin would
never be criminalized just because same people were smoking it on Friday nights.) And
while it's entirely possible that none of these guys will leave today with a prescription,
the quiet raver does eventually have his appointment and walk out with a thumbs up. He
directs the thumbs up at me. It's assumed I'm in the fraud boat too.

• To me, it's unclear what boat I'm in. My ear does hurt. I've considered cutting my head
off and throwing it in the ocean. The pain is intermittent, and in fact I haven't had any for
weeks, but when it's around, [would smoke medicinal crack if it did the trick. Normal
doctors and two specialists were no help. It's not an infection, we have determined. 1 got
hit with an oar once, I always offer. The doctors and specialists nod. So 1 have chronic
pain but not glaucoma and consequently suffer a faker's guilty conscience. Not that fakers
are taking pot from the legitimately ill -- there's plenty to go around. Still, I don't know
where ]belong, waiting room-wise, and keep myself between the ailing and the insincere.
Uncertainty emerges later as a motif in the medical marijuana universe, but for now, I'm
being called into the examining room. Ellis joins me in the bare room, slight, friendly
and rushed. He seems breakable. He also has the air of celebrity, probably because he's
the only man many people know who can legalize pot, albeit one smoker at a time. He
talks fast, like someone who either has been in an E.R. for years or has a line of patients
out the door, each with a wad of cash. He takes my money and puts it in his pants
pocket. "My ear hurts," I say, and I explain the pain. My honed explication of the
problem doesn't seem to interest him. He interrupts after a minute, telling me to take my
shirt off so he can use his stethoscope. The checkup is rudimentary. He hears my heart.
He takes a peek at the bad ear. He looks into my eyes. I offer my oar theory. There's a
brief, touching moment where he pats my arm, not weirdly, and then he's signing his
recommendation. For the next 12 months, I'll be a legal medical marijuana smoker. I'll
be a legal medical marijuana smoker in California, that is. California may have approved
Proposition 215 four years ago, but 21 ~ has yet to be reconciled with federal law, which
still classifies marijuana as an illegal narcotic. There is no consensus on how to interpret
• the ambiguity. California's medicinal marijuana proponents say medicinal marijuana is
protected under law. The police, depending on the county, generally don't arrest smokers
who have a prescription, except when they do. Courts often drop cases, depending on the
judge, or how a jury might respond. Federal authorities generally say let's wait for the
U.S. Supreme Court. They're referring to the long-anticipated ruling, which is likely to
come down this summer. In September ] 999, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
that "medical necessity" justifies violation of federal distribution charges. The Clinton
administration asked the Supreme Court for an emereencY order to stop the Oakland
Cannabis Buyer's Club from selling pot. The order is temporary, and this summer the
court will issue a final ruling on whether federal law permits the medicinal use of
marijuana. It will be a significant ruling politically -- a verdict against 215 and similar
measures would be a verdict against states' rights, typically a Republican cause -- but the
efficacy of any ban on medical marijuana would be dubious. It can't overturn California's
215, or the medical marijuana laws in the seven other states that have passed them.
Likewise, state and local police can't be forced to enforce the federal laws. Discerning
any trend in the response to the medical marijuana question is difficult. In January,
charges were dropped against Robert Voelker, a Morin County man found growing 19
pot plants adjacent to his trailer home. Morin Superior Court Judge Verna Adams
ordered the confiscated plants returned to the man, according to the Morin Independent
Journal. Given the physician's recommendation that Voelker subsequently obtained, it
seemed no jury would convict him. Other "legal" users don't get off as easy, and the pro-
pot groups all have stories of various authorities flagrantly disregarding medical
marijuana legislation.

One Web site devoted to Proposition 215 contains a letter sent by senior U.S. Customs •
inspector Mark Johnson to amarijuana-prescribing doctor in July 1998: "As a reminder
you may want to tell your'patients'that although they may have received a'prescription'
for marijuana from your office it will hold no weight as far as federal or state laws are
concerned. Such was the case a few days ago when we confiscated less than a gram of
marijuana from one of the people who had put their confidence in you ... This was a stiff
$500 lesson for someone who probably couldn't afford it, but erroneously placed their
trust in you." There remains confusion at the medical level, too, but nothing like there
used to be. Plenty of doctors maintain that pot's a damaging and addictive narcotic, but
more and more point to studies confirming its medicinal value. In November, for
example, BBC News reported that 80 nercent of doctors in the United Kingdom would
prescribe medical marijuana to patients with serious illnesses if they were allowed to,
according to a study by Medix UK, a Web site for doctors. If statistics like those from
the Medix survey are surprising, it's because the evolution of thinking within the medical
community has been undermined every step of the way. Even Drug Enforcement
Administration administrative law Judge Francis Young's 1988 acknowledgment that pot
"has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States for nausea and
vomiting resulting from chemotherapy treatments" got buried after a while. And of
course marijuana's benefits among AIDS patients -- cannabis can help stimulate
appetites, for example -- are obscured regularly by pot prejudice and AIDS prejudice. As
far back as 1982, then Ren. Newt Gingrich wrote to the Journal of the American Medical
Association criticizing the "outdated federal prohibition" of medical marijuana, and [he
"bureaucratic interference" it encounters, as reported by Michelle Malkin in the Seattle •
Times._ Sixteen years later, Malkin pointed out, Gingrich was "Speaker of a House that
just declared that marijuana 'contains no plausib]e medicinal benefits."' If doctors like
Ellis eventually excuse themselves from the medical debate and start furiously signing
pot prescriptions, it might be because the medical debate is stuck on repeat.-None of the
above -- the legal and the medical disputes -- particularly matters. In the United States,
medicinal marijuana still occupies a place far from the realm of reason. The terms of
understanding are primitive. We rely on imagery and hysterical association to direct, and
then articulate, our support/disdain for the movement. Like all drug debates to emerge in
the past ] 5 years, this one is a closed system, impervious to new information. Progress
occurs in spite ofthe alleged national conversation. Within the conversation, those
opposed to medical marijuana have made little rhetorical progress since 1936's now-camp
propaganda film "Reefer Madness." As few researchers will deny the drug's medicinal
value, its detractors employ abstract versions of morality (it's "evil") and foresight (it's a
gateway drug) to make their case. These tools interact with the presiding convention of
all drug debates -- a collective disregard of logic on both sides -- and consequently we no
longer ask why pot is evil, or how we can legislate something because it might lead to
something worse. (Are forks a gateway weapon?) Those leading the medical marijuana
charge can be dismissed, too: They're potheads. If there's a single obstacle to the
acceptance of the drug's medicinal virtue, it's that it's fun, too. The high that accompanies
the pain relief is the unspoken dozy conservatives can't surmount. That medical
marijuana users experience this -- and perhaps even enjoy it --diminishes their
credibility. The high is distilled subversion. What else could it represent? Like sex,
religion and the red menace, its threat lies in its utter ungovernability.

• Transcendent or faux-transcendent experiences aren't only dismissed because they're
hokey -- to some, they seem to be downright unpatriotic. Still, in spite of the noise and in
between the zealots, attitudes are quietly changing. If polls are any indication, the average
American is more open to the idea of medical marijuana than ever before. The dialogue
has never broken free from the larger drue war discussion, but it has cooled off some. On
a case-by-case basis, we seem to be remembering that we don't want our loved ones'
chemotherapy worse than it has to be, and that in fact we, or our friend, or our aunt, has
smoked quite a bit of pot for quite a long time, and nothing bad has happened yet.
Getting a physician's recommendation from Ellis may have been easy, but getting him on
the phone for an interview is another story. I[ isn't until a month after my visit that he
agrees to talk. "What were you doing before this?" 1 ask. "I was at emergency rooms,"
he says. "Which ones?" "Various emergency rooms in the Bay Area," he says. He won't
say how many patients he's seen since opening the office in July -- "let's say several
hundred," he finally tells me. Nor will he say how many are ultimately granted
recommendations. Iget the impression most walk away satisfied. "What about fakers?" I
want to know. Ellis assures me that fakers don't make it to the examination room. "They
realize it's a legitimate medical setting and go home," he says. "They can't get in without
supporting documentation." hell Ellis that I was not asked for supporting documentation.
He says he has since changed that policy, though 1 sense that he did so reluctantly. "We
don't [require supporting documentation] in the E.R.," he says. "People come in
complaining of a headache, we go over to an open cabinet and they leave with a shot of
Demerol in their butt." "And that's unfair?" I ask. "Marijuana is much more benign than
• conventional narcotics," he says. We talk about his history. Ellis graduated from the
University of Illinois medical school at Chicago in 1978, he says. His work as an
emergency physician exposed him to "a real need" for better pain management strategies.
A few seminars on medical marijuana persuaded him to look into alternative treatments.
If Ellis was uneasy at the beginning of our conversation, he's in a gallop by the end. I ask
why so few California doctors are recommending marijuana for pain four years after the
passage of 215. "They're afraid," he says. "They're afraid of the [California] Medical
Board, and of their peers, and possibly of potential legal ramifications ... even though
they're clearly protected by the law." It's the California Medical Board that gets Ellis
fired up. "They've been officially silent [on medical marijuana], but behind closed doors
they've been harassing physicians," he says. "That's the bottleneck on 215. Patients can't
get their docs to prescribe medicinal marijuana, even though the law allows for this. In
California, you might find 1 in 1,000 doctors" who would. Ron Joseph, the board's
executive director, calls Ellis' charges ridiculous. "lt's a nice fallback," Joseph says, "but
I defy him to cite one case where the board has harassed a single doctor." As Joseph tells
it, it's not the board's policy to have an official position on medical marijuana -- it would
just as soon have a position on X-rays. "We don't say whether it's good or bad,
appropriate or inappropriate," he says. "We simply ask, 'Has the physician applied good
judgment?"' Because the board's procedure is simply to investigate a "physician's actions
as they're brought to our attention [by a patient]," he says, it has no incentive to bother
doctors who are prescribing marijuana. So why aren't more doctors prescribing
marijuana? Joseph blames the government. "The chilling effect has come from federal
[agencies]," he says. "Doctors might be afraid of losing their DEA permit" (which allows
,them to prescribe controlled substances).

H ~41
As for Ellis' objection to the liberal distribution of Demerol in the E.R., compared with ~ •
the paucity of marijuana prescriptions in the doctor's office, Joseph says an E.R. deserves
its own standards. "It's a much different situation," he says. "There's little time to make
the diagnosis [in the E.R.]. This is not the case in an office visit where the patient has the
opportunity to explain his medical history." If a patient is able to obtain a physician's
recommendation, he or she must nextjoin a buyer's club. The Oakland Cannabis Buyer's
Club is a mile from my house, so I swing by on a Saturday. Like Ellis' office, the OCBC
is also low-rent, but it makes up for it in atmosphere. If Ellis' operation was film noir, the
"Co-op" is Cheech & Chong plus "Beaches." The store mixes earnest compassion for the
ill with a healthy appreciation for fat, leafy weed. Inside, past the pipes and bongs and
vaguely pornographic poster of a luscious green bud, a woman at a counter sorts
membership files. (The club has roughly 4,000 members, executive director Jeffrey Jones
tells me later, but it's hard to count. Why? I ask. "We don't know how many are dead," he
replies.) The woman at the counter gives me paperwork and takes my physician
recommendation, acopy of which I'd already faxed in for approval. I do the paperwork
and pose for my photo and pay the fee. My $21.95 entitles me to a list of active
dispensaries, support in the event of police trouble, free massages and regular cultivation
seminars. Cultivation? I ask. I can grow up to 48 plants, they say -- beyond that it's
risky. My new member I.D. is my "shield." If a cop stops me for possession, 1 need only
flash the card. [f that doesn't work, the officer is to call the 24-hour phone number on the
back, and the club will vouch for me. "But this is legal, right?" I ask. "Well," they reply,
"yes. But call if there's a problem." I'm out in 10 minutes, but still without pot. This is
because an injunction keeps the club from selling it. When the government went after
buyer's clubs in 1998, it went after the six biggest. No attempt has been made to close the •
others that sprang up subsequently, Jones tells me. And nothing keeps the OCBC from
directing me to an active dispensary two blocks away. "Why did the government pick on
some pot clubs and not others?" I ask Jones. Surely it knows about the other dispensaries.
"Who knows?" he says. "Maybe they wanted a martyr." "But nobody's going to respond
to martyrdom when it comes to getting marijuana," I say. "Then maybe we were doing
too good ajob helping people," he says. The unmarked dispensary two blocks away is to
pharmacy as Bates Motel is to Ritz-Carlton. Metal gratings cover the windows of the old
building, which begs for a paintjob or some dynamite work. A guard stands out front
and thoroughly inspects my paperwork before sending me inside to the next guard, who
also thoroughly inspects my paperwork. Then I'm sent to a desk, where [fill out more
paperwork, show my OCBC card, put a dollar in ajar and gain access to the next room.
The next room is un-American. It's how Amsterdam is described among teenagers, a
perversely legal assortment of illegal things: pot plants, pot brownies, pot cookies, pot
seeds and, of course, pot. Half a mile from the Oakland Police Department, two glass
counters full of dope and a promising back room await anyone with an OCBC card and
some cash. There is no catch. 1 experience the brief heartbreak of poorly timed access --
this kind of opportunity would've been great back when I liked pot -- but mainly I'm glad
people who need it can get it. I buy an eighth of an ounce of the good stuff, not the great
stuff. It's $45. The guy behind the counter is nice like a nurse. The place isn't a
neighborhood drugstore -- no matter how medicinal your marijuana, it's still pot, and pot
culture is irrepressible -- but there's no Pink Floyd or opium-den decadence, either.

• On the wall is a mural of a sunny Oakland park, full of relaxed people in various stages
of illness. They appear positively pain-free. The night I begin writing this article, I turn
my head and the old ear pain shoots back.,lt's mild at first, then heavier. The pain isn't
.really inside the ear, but rather right where my ear hits my head. It hurts when I push on it
and when 1 move. I decide it's time to take my medicine. I don't really get high anymore.
Back when I did, I never experimented with pot's medical potential. 1 dig out a pipe and
get to work. The first thing I do is underestimate how strong it is. I take two big hits, then
sort of walk around, then take two more. The high is always indistinguishable from the
ritual in the first three minutes, so it's a while before I know what's what. I sit and begin
writing. I get up and look for something. I find incense in a drawer and light that. I sit and
write some more. The pot is strong. My head is light, or heavy. 1 get up and put the
incense out. A piece rolls behind the couch, still burning, and the house almost burns
down. I find the piece. I sit down to write again and then remember to see if my ear hurts.
It does. But not as much. I think. Does marijuana just make you too stoned to,evaluate
pain? This would be dumb. I consider Ellis. It's hard to conclude anything about him, for
he's as ambiguous as every other element of the medical marijuana question. In a city of
either conservative or craven doctors, he's taking a chance. Those who take chances to
improve the lives of the sick and dying are heroic. But at the same time, it wasn't just the
sick and dying in that waiting room. Ellis, like many medical marijuana advocates, is
breathless on the subject. He perceives an injustice perpetrated by the medical
establishment and by the federal government. if he's occasionally quixotic on the issue --
the executive director ofthe California Medical Board can't imagine what Ellis is tilting
at --one can infer that he's either dramatic or tired of seeing people in pain. Finally, what
• will happen to a doctor in a tiny office who flouts federal law on the back page of the San
Francisco Bay Guardian? Is he in danger? "I don't know," Jones from the OCBC had
said. "Is a bug that flies into the light in danger?" Because he's working with other ,
information, or because he's blinded by the light, Ellis himself isn't scared. "They'd be
crazy if they bothered me," he'd told me, before getting off the phone to see another
patient.

IONews Exposes'Marijuana Doctors'
POSTED: 4:39 pm PDT 7uly 6, 2006, UPDATED: 12:41 pm PDT July 7, 2006
SAN DIEGO --
Doctors Offer Legal Pot
Proposition 215 -- the medical marijuana initiative approved by voters ten years ago, has
been subverted, abused and misused say law enforcement agencies our 1-Team has
spoken with. Prop. 215 is supposed to provide seriously ill people access to marijuana to
help relieve their pain but a 1 ONews investigation discovered just about anyone can get
pot legally if they want. ] 0 News became interested in medical marijuana after seeing a
large number of advertisements for doctors prescribing pot. These pot docs' ads appear
every week in the San Diego Reader. Discussions with ] ONews sources both in and out
of law enforcement seemed to confirm a disturbing pattern of increasing sales by the pot
docs as well as an increase in the number of distributors for the medical marijuana. This
launched atwo-month 1 ONews investigation into exactly what was going on. We used
staff members to go into doctor's office and see how difficult it was to get a referral for
pot. It was very easy. Too easy in fact, say law enforcement sources. It turned out both
federal and local agencies are also looking into the process. The l ONews 1-Team was
able to acquire some government surveillance tapes used to document how different
doctors would discuss with patients the benefits of marijuana. One shows an undercover
officer and a Dr. Robert Steiner, discussing pot. "1 assure you Tylenol is more of a risk to
you and a hazard than is cannabis," said Dr. Robert Steiner. Steiner was doing one of his
"legitimate and affordable" medical marijuana evaluations as advertised in the Reader.
"It's open drug dealing with legitimacy," said Deputy District Attorney Dana Greisen.
Greisen said doctors are recommending marijuana to just about anyone who can afford a
doctor's visit. "It's being recommended for insomnia, depression (and) anxiety," said
Greisen. "The law is being abused in a massive scale," said Greisen. The people using
the marijuana aren't suffering from cancer, AIDS or other serious illnesses, which
Proposition 21 ~ is supposed to address. It was approved by voters to "ensure that
seriously ill Californians have the right to use marijuana for medical purposes."
Dr. Steiner claimed no downsides to using marijuana on the law enforcement video.
"We have two convincing studies that cannabis does not cause lung cancer. Cannabis
regenerates brain cells," said Steiner. The undercover agent then asked if he could also
get pot for his dog. "He's got arthritis. He whines at night because of the pain," said the
undercover agent. "Again, it is perfectly acceptable for pups," said Steiner. Dr. Alfonso
Jimenez has a Web site -- Medical Marijuana of San Diego -- where patients can register
for his services online. What happened when we sent our testers in? "He was just laid-
back and friendly. (He) didn't really seem to worry about if he was giving me this for the
right reasons or not," said tester number one. He went to Jimenez for back pain he doesn't
have. He got his referral and could have purchased pot legally. 1 ONews never did
purchase any marijuana even after the doctor's approval. "There's a line behind me
coming out of the door," said tester number one. DDA Greisen said it's all about the
money. "We had a doctor recently (who) testified he gave out about 2,000
recommendations in last year -- that's what he testified to in court -- at $230
approximately. You do the math -- that's $500,000 in cash," said Greisen. Greisen said
most office calls are paid for in cash.
•
39
H-45
That's what another l ONews employee had to do. He paid $125 to have Steiner •
recommend marijuana for his "sleeping problems." "They just let me in the office.
(They) kind of started giving me all these facts about medical marijuana before they even
knew what was wrong with me," said tester number two. Tester two would get his
marijuana if he went to another doctor first to document his condition. "He (Dr. Sterner)
referred me to a doctor who would have me in and out real quickly. I could come right
back, (and) he would be able to sign off on the recommendation. Once people get their
recommendations, 1 ONews discovered there's no limit or control as to how much
marijuana they can buy from storefronts called dispensaries. Legal Loophole? You don't
have to suffer from a serious illness to buy medical marijuana from dispensers. ] ONews
investigators were able to get approval for marijuana from two doctors -- Dr. Robert
Sterner, who has an office near Lindbergh Field, and Dr. Alfonso Jimenez in downtown
San Diego. "They got me through pretty quick," said tester number one, a l ONews
employee. With a recommendation from a doctor, the staffers would be able to get -
marijuana that is sold at dispensaries across San Diego County. Tester number two,
another l ONews employee, was sent into the doctor's offices and said, "I went to two
different places, and within thirty minutes I got some (referrals). It seemed pretty easy."
These marijuana recommendations can be filled at twenty different storefronts selling
pot, and unlike a regular prescriptions, a patient can use the recommendations more than
once. "A pattern is developing. Patients get recommendations," said Dep. District
Attorney Dana Greisen. These recommendations are like a blank check. According to
1 ONews findings, one person received a recommendation with permission to grow 75
marijuana plants: Each plant has the street value of $1,000. The same person received
permission to purchase five pounds of marijuana. With that amount, a person can smoke •
a joint every two hours for 24 hours a day and seven days a week, taking more than a
year to go through all of that marijuana. Dr. Larry Pohl said what some of his colleagues
are doing is not proper medicine. He said patients sometimes need lab work, X-rays or
meetings with specialists. Pohl said marijuana is not acure-all. "It's definitely not
consistent with standard medical care," said Pohl. Dr. Jimenez has several offices and we
talked to him by phone at his Hawaii location, he told l ONews that he only provides a
referral for patients with medical illnesses. Jimenez's operates a Web site
MedicalMarijuanaOfSanDiego.com. When l ONews visited Dr. Sterner, he explained he
had to see patients and closed his office door. But there is another loophole in the
system, called the primary care giver form. Taking Advantage Of Proposition 215 "It is
a lega]ization of marijuana. It's going to encourage drug use," said San Diego County
Sheriff Bill Kolender. "It is going to be helping people who are really sick and need a
medicine that has been used for 5,000 years," said one Proposition 215 supporter. These
were two very different predictions made 10 years ago after Prop. 215 was approved by
Californians. Kolender was right, if you ask Dep. District Attorney Dana Greisen. "Over
the last year, we saw a proliferation of these recommendations," said Greisen. He says
just about anyone can get marijuana. And to make matters worse, he says, doctors hand
out blank primary caregiver forms. These forms allow patients to list anyone they want
to be a caregiver. It allows this person to purchase or grow marijuana for them. ] ONews
Investigations sent in two staffers to check Greisen's claims. And it was as the assistant
district attorney had claimed. Our staffers were given blank caregiver forms. l ONews
learned that one person named his dog as a caregiver.

• As part of the investigation, l ONews nominated a bird named Riggo as a caregiver. "The
doctors -- because they're giving it to so many people -- are basically legalizing
marijuana one doctor and patient at a time," said Greisen.

Who is Ken Estes you ask? Ken Estes is a long time proponent of Medical Marijuana
who has or has had interests in at least four Medical Marijuana Dispensaries, all of which
have come under law enforcement and media scrutiny.
When Pot Clubs Go Bad: Ken Estes just wants to share the miracle of medical
marijuana. Everyone else just wants him to go away.
By Chris Thompson
Article Published Jul 24, 2002
Neighborhood lore has it that before Ken Estes set up his medical-marijuana club, the
property used to be a whorehouse. The neighbors wish it still was. Back then, the
customers walked in, took care of business, and got out. Bad shit never went down at
central Berkeley's local brothel -- certainly nothing like what happened on the afternoon
of June ~. At 2:37 p.m., roughly ninety minutes before closing time, a gray Honda pulled
to the curb and two Latino men got out the car and stepped up to the guard. One topped
out at 250 pounds and wore a plaid button-down shirt; the other was a skinny kid in a T-
shirt. The guard walked back to the door, and shouted for Estes' brother that there were
• two guys at the door to see Ken. His brother cracked open the door, took a look, and
leaned back to yell for Estes. At that point, the guard noticed the two men creeping up to
the door. "No no, you can't come in here!" he reportedly shouted. Then he saw the gun.
Mr. Plaid jammed a black pistol into the guard's back, and the T-shirt pulled out a kitchen
knife with afour-inch blade. According to the police report, they forced the guard
through the door, rushed into the club, and screamed at everyone to lie face down on the
floor. Everyone did except for one man, awheelchair-bound patient who had come to get
his legally prescribed dose of reefer and now had a gun in his face. The two men trashed
the place and finally found the stash after prying open a locked file cabinet. As terrified
neighbors called the cops, the thieves ran out of the club, jumped in the car, and floored
it. It was the third armed robbery at 1672 University Avenue in ten months. You get into
a lot of creepy stuff when you hang out with Ken Estes. You get burglaries, armed
robberies, police raids, and felony charges. You also get allegations of cocaine dealing,
tax fraud, and spousal abuse. The thing is, Ken's a really nice guy. With a tanned face
defined by a sandy goatee, long blond hair, and a disarming air of candor and
vulnerability, he seems the very picture of California easy living. ]t's only when you
notice the wheelchair supporting his shriveled legs, or the limp handshake born of two
decades of nerve damage, that you catch a glimpse of the tragedy that has been his
companion since ] 976. Shortly after a motorcycle accident lefr Estes paralyzed below his
chest, he became a devoted advocate of medical marijuana. He carefully organized his
club to offer every possible comfort to the sick or dying. Berkeley Medical Herbs, which
didn't exactly traffic in St.-John's-wort, operated out of a cute little cottage that neighbors
call the "hobbit warren."

A modest wooden fence fronts the street and a path leads through a mulch lawn to a •
white security door. Beneath the rich, sloping redwood ceiling, a spacious brick fireplace
keeps patients toasty-warm in the winter. Once a week a woman comes in and provides
free massages on a table in the corner. And unlike other East Bay pot clubs, most of
which stress a clinical pharmacy's atmosphere, patients can sit down and light up right
there, beneath rustic paintings of Jimi, Janis, and Jerry. If it weren't for the crime that has
plagued his club's operation, Estes might be the patron saint of Berkeley stoners. "We
have the best prices and the best medicine." he boasts. "If you know buds, we have the
bomb." But ever since Estes first got involved in the medical-marijuana movement, men
with drugs, guns, and evil intent have followed him everywhere he goes. They have
robbed him, exploited his generosity, and endangered the lives of everyone around him --
even his three children. But "Compassionate Ken," as his friends call him, doesn't seem
to learn. He always picks the wrong friends. At least that's Ken's side of the story. His
estranged lover, Stacey Trainor, told a darker version to the Contra Costa district
attorney's office. She alleged that Estes is a.former coke dealer who lied to secure his
club's lease, that he has a Berkeley doctor in his pocket who will sell pot prescriptions for
$21 ~ a pop, and that up to thirty percent of his customers buy his product without any
medical notes at'all. Police and University Avenue merchants, meanwhile, claim that
high-school kids used to line up for a taste outside Estes' club, and that his security
guards scared away neighborhood shoppers and even got involved in fights on the street.
His fellow cannabis-club operators even tried to drive Estes out of town. Whether Estes
is a character out of The French Connection or one out of The Gang That Couldn't Shoot
Straight, he couldn't exist without the peculiar politics of Proposition 215, which •
decriminalized medical marijuana in California. In the six years since its passage,
mayors, district attorneys, and state officials have been so focused on protecting patients
from federal prosecution that they've neglected [o implement any sort of regulations
about how pot should be distributed. No state or local agency or mainstream medical
group has offered any comprehensive guidelines on who should hand out pot in what
manner. As a result, medical pot is not just legal, but superlegal, perhaps California's
least-regulated ingestible substance. And yet marijuana remains a powerful intoxicant
with a vast underground market, one whose dealers inhabit a shadowy criminal world
populated by dangerous men. In the absence of official regulation, it has fallen to pot-
club operators themselves to craft some sort of system. Over the last six years, groups
like the Oakland Cannabis Buyers Cooperative and the Alliance of Berkeley Patients
have, through a series of trials and sometimes embarrassing errors, arrived at a protocol
for verifying medical ailments, providing security from criminals, and operating safely in
quiet residential and commercial neighborhoods. But however sensible their rules may
be, they have no means of forcing club operators to abide by them. All they have is a
gentlemen's agreement. Ken Estes broke that agreement, whether by design or neglect.
And no one may have the legal power to make him stop. Estes is that rare breed of Bay
Area native who spent his teenage years here in the '70s and didn't smoke pot. Born in
Martinez, he moved to Concord and became a star athlete at Ygnacio Valley High. He
excelled at soccer and was offered a scholarship to Santa Clara University, but that all
changed one day in 1976, a month afrer he graduated from high school. Estes was riding
his motorcycle back from a Walnut Creek McDonald's, where he worked as a manager,
when a car swerved into his lane and hit him head on.

• Estes flew over the car and broke his neck. The damage was so extensive that for the next
two years, he couldn't even move his arms. He struggled through physical therapy hoping
to regain just enough mobility to kill himself. Estes was wracked with chronic pain,
living in a rehab center and dependent on others to bathe and clothe him. The morphine
and the pills didn't help, and he began to waste away. "I probably got down to a hundred
pounds, and I'm six feet," he says. "I couldn't eat, 1 couldn't sleep, the physical pain was
horrible, a nightmare. But about six or eight months into it, a group of Vietnam vets I
was in rehab with were smoking marijuana. They said, 'Look, man, we know you're not
eating or sleeping, why don't you come over here with us?' I said no, 'cause I was still
thinking about keeping my body clean. But they said, 'Man, they're popping pills in you
and morphine. This is a lot less than that.' So I said, 'Alright, lemme smoke.' That night, I
slept all night. When I woke up, I ate. They brought the doctors in, they said,'Lookit, he's
eating!' My doctor wrote it on the chart, he wrote that this marijuana is doing what you
want the pills to do." After that first toke, Estes put his life back together. He regained
limited use of his arms, enrolled in junior college, and by the early '80s was offered
another scholarship, this time to UC Santa Cruz. Estes decided instead to open a string of
tanning, hair, and nail salons in Concord and Davis. He met his future girlfriend Stacey
Trainor while she was working at a mini mart next to one of his salons. "[ kept coming
over there, and she would always have the banana drink ready for me, get the burrito
ready," he says. Within a month of their first date, Trainor left her husband and moved in
with Estes. Together they would raise three children. But something always bothered
Estes. Before he began growing his own, he typically took his business to Haight Street
• or Telegraph Avenue. It was a dangerous pastime; just because he wanted to relieve his
discomfort, he was mugged three times and occasionally suffered the indignity of being
dumped out of his chair. In the'80s, as AIDS swept through the country, Estes began
clipping press accounts of "Brownie Mary," the elderly woman who used to walk the
halls of San Francisco General Hospital, handing out marijuana-laced treats to the
terminally ill. Slowly, he began to think that this wasn'tjust a drug, but a cause. In 1992,
he signed over his share of the salons to his business partner and started distributing pot,
going to demonstrations, and working to decriminalize medical cannabis. "Everyone
thought I was crazy, but I said I wanted to pursue this," he recalls, "I'm tired of being
looked at as a doper, as a pothead, as somebody less than somebody else because I used
marijuana." Yet as Estes became a fixture in the medical cannabis scene, his life became
increasingly chaotic and dangerous. At the very time that Proposition 215 liberated
thousands ofinedical-marijuana smokers from prosecution, Estes began a long, almost
farcical slide into crime. Even scoring on street corners didn't compare to what was to
come. "No guns in the face at that point," he says of his early years. "That came later,
with the medical-marijuana movement." Estes began his cannabis activism by
volunteering at the Oakland Cannabis Buyers cooperative. From the beginning, the co-op
has been at the cutting edge of the movement; where San Francisco clubs have a looser,
anarchic spirit, it's all business at the Oakland Co-op, whose members have pioneered
security and medical protocols with a determined air of professionalism. Jeff Jones, the
co-op's executive director, doesn't even smoke pot. Growing up in South Dakota, Jones
watched his father waste away and die from a terrible illness and vowed to find a way to
bring medical marijuana to the terminally ill. Jones firstjoined the co-op in 1995 and
soon found himself making home deliveries of dope to AIDS and cancer patients.

If Estes is a creative but befuddled libertine, Jones is rigid and dogmatic. From the start, •
the two rubbed one another the wrong way. After passage of Proposition 215, the co-op
emerged from the shadows and began distributing pot out in [he open. But no one had
any idea how to go about it. There were simply no rules; one day medical pot was illegal,
the next day it wasn't. Proposition 215 is one in a long series of brief, poorly conceived
initiatives whose implementation has proven to be a giant headache. The
"Compassionate Use Act of 1996" offers no guidance on how pot should be distributed;
indeed, the initiative is a single page in length and merely encourages the federal and
state governments to "implement a plan to provide for the safe and affordable distribution
of marijuana to all patients." Six years later, no one in Sacramento has figured out what
this means. No state agency has ever issued binding directives on how to distribute pot,
or to whom. Until the California legislature passes a law to govern distribution, neither
the attorney general nor the state health department has the legal authority to innovate
any such protocols. "Proposition 215 did not address prescriptions," says Hallye Jordan,
spokeswoman for Attorney General Bill Lockyer. "The initiative did not authorize or
spell out any specific scheme for dispensing marijuana. Nor did it say who is entitled to
it, or how much marijuana is required for which ailment. 1 think everyone recognizes that
Proposition 215 was not the best-written initiative. But the voters passed it." With the
state paralyzed, it has fallen to local governments to regulate medical marijuana. But
most localities have adopted a strictly laissez-faire approach and done virtually nothing to
ensure that the distribution of pot adheres to the spirit of Proposition 215. The portion of
the Berkeley municipal code governing medical pot, for example, is so ridiculously lax
that it plays right into the city's worst stereotypes, and yet it's as strict as virtually any
other Bay Area city. Although the code limits the amount of pot a club can have on hand, •
there are no provisions limiting how close a pot club can be to a school, or requiring
doctors to conduct an actual evaluation of patients, or requiring background checks for
pot distributors -- which is standard practice for anyone who wants to run a liquor store.
Yet the code does encourage pot clubs to "use their best efforts to determine whether or
not cannabis is organically grown." City Councilmembers Linda Maio and Dona Spring
say the city can't even write up a specific-use permit for cannabis clubs, because doing so
would violate federal law. The end result is that medical pot is actually less regulated
than candy bars, which must at least have their ingredients printed,on the wrapper.
Anyone can distribute medical pot anywhere, in any fashion they please, and virtually no
one is watching them. Club operators disagree on whether this is good or bad. Jeff Jones
wants the government to step in and bring some common sense to pot's distribution. "We
thought the government would get involved in distributing medical marijuana as per the
state law," he says. "I never though that five or ten years later, we'd still be operating in a
vacuum." Others worry that if the state takes a firmer hand, a conservative governor or
attorney general might interpret the law so narrowly as to effectively recriminalize
medical cannabis. But everyone agrees that since the government hasn't set up rules, club
operators must police themselves. The Oakland Cannabis Buyers Collective was at the
forefront of this effort, keeping and verifying patient records, hiring security guards, and
establishing a rigorous dual-identification system, in which patients.had to pass through
multiple checkpoints. "To be a member, they had to turn in a note from a licensed
physician that we could verify," Jones says.
•
44
H-50
"Even cancer and AIDS patients had to renew the note every year. They were a little mad
about this, but we had to confirm that their medical status hadn't changed, and they still
needed our services." Once Oakland officials were assured that, unlike at San Francisco
clubs, patients would never smoke dope at the site, relations between the co-op and the
city have generally been cordial. The city council contracted with the co-op to distribute
pot to seven thousand patients on its behalf, and the co-op's membership cards became
the definitive means of identifying medical pot patients throughout the East Bay.
Jones even teaches classes on medical marijuana to recruits at the Oakland police
academy. "We've never given them a reason to question what we're doing here," he says,
"The local police like us because we give them an alternative to going out on the street.
Our group have never done anything that has been deemed illegal, and we've never gotten
complaints from anyone -- except the federal government." Berkeley's three clubs went
through the same process, experimenting with various security and patient-verification
protocols. In the beginning of 2001, the Berkeley Patients Group on San Pablo Avenue,
the Cannabis Buyers Cooperative on Shattuck, and the Patients Care Collective on
Telegraph formed the Alliance of Berkeley Patients and agreed upon aten-point
platform. This included organizing as a collective or nonprofit, contacting physicians to
confirm a patient's medical condition, scrupulously keeping patient records, hiring
security guards, and maintaining good relations with their neighbors. "We agreed to
police ourselves, so we don't have to have any outside regulators that might not have the
patient's best interests in mind," says Berkeley Patients Group member Don Duncan.
There was just one problem: none of these regulations had the force of law behind them.
Even the police, hamstrung by a city council cognizant of the overwhelming public
• support for medical pot, can do virtually nothing to crack down on rogue clubs. If
someone wanted to hand out pot like candy, no one could stop him. His neighbors along
University Avenue soon figured this out. Accounts differ as to what Estes did when he
first showed up at the Oakland co-op's door in 1995. Some say he taught the co-op's pot
cultivation classes; others claim he weighed out the baggies and sampled the wares to
categorize their potency. Estes says he did both. But one thing seems clear: he and Jeff
Jones didn't get along. "Jeff always thought Ken should cut his hair -- look more
appropriate for you guys, the media," says one co-op member who asked not to be
named. "Ken was like, 'You know, I don't have to look right for the press. I'm a patient."'
Jones won't say much about what he thought of Estes, but Estes recalls, "Jeff said, 'Look,
if you cut your hair, you'll go places around here.' 1 said, 'C'mon, you're sounding like the
people on the streets I've been dealing with for years. You're sounding like the
conservative white guy who doesn't like anyone lookin' different from himself.' So yeah,
we had a lot of trouble. 1 told him one time, '1 wanna get out of my chair and beat your
ass."' Whether the Oakland co-op itself was entirely above-board is a matter of some
dispute. According to Trainor's statement to the Contra Costa DA, the co-op paid Estes in
pot and unreported cash. "Part of the marijuana he received as payment from the club he
would sell to other people, including persons who had no medical prescription for
marijuana," her statement reads. Jones denies paying Estes in under-the-table cash, but
refuses to comment on whether he paid Estes with dope. Estes claims he received a
paycheck, not cash. But he acknowledges the pot-for-labor arrangement. "I got herb for
working," he says. "They gave me herb, that was the trade-off. I worked there till it
closed, and then I went out and opened my new shop."

In October 1998, the feds managed to get an injunction prohibiting the Oakland co-op •
from dispensing marijuana. The co-op fought it all the way to the Supreme Court, where
it eventually lost. Jones and his lawyers are preparing a new challenge, but except for a
one-month period during which the injunction was lifted, the co-op has not handed out a
dime bag since 1998. Seven thousand patients needed another supplier, and Estes jumped
in to fill the void. But he needed customers, so Trainor say's Estes called a friend who
worked there. This employee gave Estes the names, addresses, and phone numbers of
five hundred patients, and Estes soon started drumming up customers. No one at the co-
op knew the two had done this; certainly the patients had no idea that their confidential
information was being bandied about like just another mailing list. Estes concedes he
made no effort to call their doctors and confirm their medical condition -- he just started
making deliveries to anyone with a card from the Oakland club. By the time that Estes
went into business for himself, he, Trainor, and their three children had moved to a house
in Concord, where he began growing pot to supply his growing army of patients. On
September 20, Concord police officer David Savage took a call: Estes' neighbor claimed
that she could see a bumper crop of pot plants growing in his backyard. Savage stopped
by and peeked over the fence. Later that afternoon, he returned with a search warrant.
Savage's police report indicates that he found pot everywhere. He found roughly fifty
plants in a makeshift greenhouse in the backyard. He found an elaborate hydroponics
system in the garage; behind sheets of dark plastic, dozens of plants were growing on
plastic trays and in children's swimming pools; grow lights wheeled back and forth on a
track hanging from the ceiling. He found baggies of weed stuffed in desk drawers and
scattered along the floor, and plants hanging in the closets. In the master bedroom,
underneath a crib where one of the children slept, Savage found two garbage bags with •
dried marijuana in them. "None of the growing and dried marijuana was in a secure
place," Savage wrote in his report. "Most of the marijuana was accessible to the children
in the residence. Estes told [me] he was not concerned with the children having access to
the marijuana because 'They know it is for daddy."' Estes denies leaving bags of dope
near his children's cribs. But Savage didn't know what to do with Estes. Estes had an
Oakland co-op card certifying him as a patient, as well as patient records indicating he
was a legally valid caregiver. How much dope did Proposition 215 allow him to have?
"They got ajudge on the phone, and I talked to thejudge," Estes says. "1 said, 'Please
don't make me pull these plants out. These are good strains with medical benefits."'
In the end, the cops confiscated the plants and the growing system, and ratted him out to
Child Protective Services. In deference to Proposition 215, they left Estes with three
plants and an ounce for his own use. But Estes complains Savage took all the kind buds,
and left him just a bag of leafy shit. Fifteen months later, the cops would be back.
By then, Estes had bought some property near Clear Lake, and Trainor had moved up
north with the kids, growing more dope in a shed behind the house. Meanwhile, Estes'
cousin Tim Crew had moved into the house to help him grow a crop that dwarfed his
prior stash. This period marks the beginning of one of Estes' most foolish habits: keeping
massive amounts of drugs and money lying around. "People told me, 'Don't put more than
a certain amount in the bank, or you could get in trouble,"' he says. "We had a lot of
money, and 1 kept it with me. I'd hide it in my closet, hide it in my suitcase. 1 just didn't
want to put it in a bank."

H ~52
• As more and more people got hip to Estes' stash, his cavalier attitude would provoke a
spate of armed robberies that left his University Avenue neighbors terrified. The first
robbery happened in Concord on January 1, 2000. Neighbors called the cops and reported
that several men had burst out of Estes' house and raced down the street, leaving the door
ajar. When Concord officers arrived at the scene, they found that the front door had been
forced open. They also found no fewer than 1,780 marijuana plants in various stages of
cultivation, even after the break-in. This time, the cops wouldn't be satisfied with
confiscating his stash. The DA charged Estes with four felony counts of possession and
cultivation of marijuana for sale, and will probably argue that the volume of pot on hand
proved that he was an outright dealer, not a medicinal caregiver. His trial is set to begin
on August 5. With the heat coming down in Concord, Estes eyed Berkeley. Taking out a
business license and a zoning permit to sell "herbs and other homeopathic remedies,"
Estes set up shop at 1672 University Avenue. From the very beginning, Berkeley Medical
Herbs was characterized by his permissive business style. Michael "Rocky" Grunner
showed up at Estes' door just months into his new operation and handed him a bag of
quality product. Estes says Grunner told him there was more where that came from, and
he was certainly happy to buy it. Grunner began hanging out at the club, and Estes
thought everything was working just fine. The massage table was up and running,
patients were streaming through the door, the smoke was flowing freely. But over time, a
tense, nervous atmosphere infected the club. Finally, Estes claims, a friend came to him
and broke the bad news: Grunner was dealing crank out of the back room. Estes says he
promptly threw Grunner out of the club. But the club's neighbors were beginning to
worry about the sketchy new element. Machinist Richard Graham is a longtime area
• resident and has been known to take a hit upon occasion. But he even he draws the line at
Estes' way of doing business. A few months after Estes opened the club, Graham dropped
off a package mistakenly delivered to the wrong address. When Graham asked the man
behind the counter how business was holding up, he offered to set him up with a
physician for $200. "I asked them how their operation works, and they told me you just
need a note from the doctor, and we have a doctor, and you can get a note forjust about
anything," Graham says. "Then he told me the prices, the registration fee to get the note,
$200 per year. 1 got what I thought was an aggressive sales pitch. He said their doctor
will help me get it. He looked at me and profiled me, said 'You're 5 ], you've got arthritis,
we can help you.'... I just got the impression that these are people in it to sell marijuana as
a business. I didn't feel that these were people motivated to help sick people, which I
think other people are. It was a decidedly unclinical atmosphere, let's put it that way." In
fact, Estes' operation was so unclinical that it even advertised in the Berkeley Daily
Planet. Superimposed over the image of a big fat bud, the club announced that it had
plenty of pot for sale, listing killer strains such as "Jack Frost, Mad Max, Romulin, G-
Spot, and more." Other club operators groaned in dismay when they read the notice:
"One-source shopping for all your medicinal needs! First visit, first gram free with
mention of this ad!" Soon, kids were lining up outside, neighbors and police report, and
the club's busiest hour was between three and four in the afternoon, when Berkeley High
students got out of class. "The biggest complaint was the kids going in and out of there,"
says Lieutenant AI Yuen, head of the Berkeley Police Department's Special Enforcement
Unit, which handles narcotics investigations. "We looked into that and watched kids
going in and out.
•
47
H-53
We never caught him selling to kids without a card. He claims that the kids had medicinal •
cards, but he doesn't keep records on who he sells to.... He was advertising in the papers,
he allowed tons of kids going though his place. He didn't have a screening process, didn't
have security." In fact, Trainor told the DA's office that Estes sold his product to anyone
with the cash. She estimated that seventy percent of the club's buyers were patients from
the Oakland co-op, and that the other thirty percent were recreational users. And Trainor
alleged that even many of the so-called patients may have had fraudulent doctor's notes.
She claimed that Estes referred everyone without a card to Dr. Frank Lucido, a Berkeley
family practitioner who allegedly charged a fee for every note. "Estes would tell his
buyers to go to Lucido, give him $215, and he would give the person a prescription....
Trainor said that regardless of whether a buyer told Estes they had a medical problem or
not, Estes would refer the buyer to Lucido to get the prescription." Trainor said she knew
how Lucido operated because she went through the process herself. During her interview,
she meticulously described her visit from start to finish. "Trainor went to the doctor's
office, where she met a nurse who collected $215 from her. She was brought into an
exam room, where she waited until Lucido came in and asked her what she wanted. She
told him she had a bad back and wanted a prescription for marijuana. Trainor' said the
doctor performed a mini physical, checked her blood pressure, and had her bend over
backward to check the condition of her back.... Lucido then wrote her a prescription for
marijuana. Lucido did not ask her questions about treatment or diagnosis from any other
physician. Lucido gave her no advice on the amount of marijuana to use and did not
advise her of any other therapy or medication that might treat back problems. Lucido did
not tell her to come back for afollow-up exam." For a while, Estes says, he even
accepted photocopies of Lucido's notes, and neighbors used to find them littering the •
sidewalk in front of his club. One neighbor, who asked not to be named, still has a copy
of one such note from Lucido's office. The patient is a mere 21 years old and suffers from
back pain. Lucido says he used to write such notes and rely on patients to provide
verification later. But he says he discontinued that practice two years ago, and now
requires independent verification of his patients' ailments from another physician. Lucido
says Estes has been a'headache for his medical practice. Two years ago, the doctor says,
Estes printed business cards that claimed he was working in conjunction with Lucido.
The physician says that as soon as he found out, he had a lawyer call Estes and tell him to
stop making that claim immediately. "I'm not connected with the clubs, and I don't refer
people to the clubs," he says. "1'm sure people mention my name, but it's never the case
that we work in conjunction with each other." Lucido said he couldn't remember Stacey
Trainor. Why is Trainor telling so many tales out of school? It all began two years ago,
when she began an affair with Rocky Grunner. The feud culminated on August 31, 2000,
when Trainor swore out a temporary restraining order against Estes, claiming that Estes
threatened to kill her. When the Lafayette cops arrived at his house to serve it, they
found more plants growing in the basement. Back went Estes into the pokey, and the cops
even raided the club and seized product and financial records. Two months later,
Lafayette narcotics agents raided Grunner's own house and seized seventeen pounds of
marijuana. Trainor eventually broke off her affair. Grunner could not be reached for
comment. Six months ago, as Estes became the subject of a Contra Costa district
attorney investigation, Trainor met with assistant district attorney Phyllis Franks and
county investigator Tony Arcado.

• Over the course of several hours, she told the story of their life together. According to her
statement, Estes didn't start his new career dealing medical pot -- but cocaine. "After
selling the tanning salon, Estes earned income by selling cocaine," Arcado wrote in his
summary of Trainor's interview. "Trainer [sic] said the income from the cocaine business
ran out in 1993, and Estes switched to selling marijuana." Estes vehemently denies the
charge and claims that Trainor, who declined to comment for this story, is lying as part of
achild-custody dispute. "That's false, not true at all," he says. "No, I didn't sell the
salons, I didn't sell cocaine. She was lying because she thought she was moving to
Canada with the kids, and she thought that before she left, she could throw a bunch of
stuff in the mix to mess me up in court. Because she downright hates me for dumping
her." It was bad enough when neighbors watched police raid the club and kids line up for
weed -- then the robberies began. On the evening of Friday, October 12, 2001, the club
was winding down after a long day when someone knocked on the door. An employee
pulled the door open and stared straight down the barrel of a silver handgun. "We opened
up the door, same as for everybody: 'Hey, what's up?"' Estes says. "The guys came in.
They put everybody on the ground and took everything:" Time was running out for
Estes. The kids and the police raids were bad enough, but now men were waving guns
around and racing off with drugs. At the time, Estes had no security guards, no iron gate
on the door, just a lot of cash and pot. Soon, the other pot-club operators came a-callin'.
The robbery put new heat on all of them as City Councilmember Linda Maio started
making noises. Don Duncan from the Berkeley Patients Group visited the club and found
it pleasant enough, but Estes had clearly failed to implement even basic security
procedures. "There weren't a lot of people around, the club was fairly deserted, and that
• was a security challenge," Duncan says. "And the front gate was a problem." When
Duncan suggested retaining security personnel, Estes responded by hiring a couple of
guys he knew from around town. Neighbors and police representatives claim that this just
made things worse. The men were not professional guards, and scared people away from
the neighborhood by loitering on the sidewalk during business hours. Estes says the
neighbors are giving way to their own racist fears. "If you talk to them, they're big, soft,
easygoing guys," he says. "But unfortunately they're black. And in this society, you think
of black as criminal. So the moment you see black people standing around, looking at
your ID, I guess it looks like a crack house. I have black friends, and that seems to be
held against me. None of the other clubs seems to be scrutinized as much as me." Not
only did the guards not sit well with the neighbors, they also didn't stop the crime. On
the evening of December 13, 2001, as the guards had drifted back into the club and Estes'
employees began stacking the chairs, one last patient, a young woman, knocked on the
door. As an employee opened the door for her, he glanced down to his left and saw three
men crouched low. The woman turned and walked back to the sidewalk and the men
rushed through the door. One pulled out an Uzi submachine gun, and the second robbery
in two months was under way. The thieves probably wouldn't have kept coming back if
there hadn't been so much to steal. Estes refuses to say how much pot was lost during the
first robbery, but he says he kept an average of three pounds of dried marijuana in his
store at all times. "Some of it was in ounces, some of it in eighths, prepackaged in a
variety of amounts," he says. "Plus we had hash, we had kief, we had oils and other
extracts from marijuana. We had baked goods, brownies, carrot cakes, Reese's peanut
butter cups that were done like that.
r1

H-55
We had everything." At $65 an eighth, that meant thugs could make off with about •
$25,000 with one quick hit, to say nothing of the cash he kept on hand. With this, the
city had finally had enough. City Councilmember Linda Maio convened a neighborhood
meeting about the club -- which Estes didn't bother to attend -- and told the rest of
Berkeley's cannabis dispensaries to bring their colleague to heel. "I called Don Duncan
and his folks and said, you guys have to be part of the solution here," she says. "It's not
okay that this happens, and it's not acceptable if this is just a rare thing. Don knows that
this is not acceptable -- he understands that this would jeopardize the whole movement if
it's allowed to get worse." Estes' new office manager, Dorrit Geshuri, sat down with City
Manager Weldon Rucker and police officials, and other Alliance members, and together
they hammered out a series of reforms. On January 2, Geshuri agreed to the following
terms: the club would only operate five hours a day; less than a pound of dope would be
on the premises; newspaper advertising would stop immediately; a professional security
company would be retained; and security cameras would be installed. The final robbery
on June 5 spelled the end for Ken Estes. Despite his promise not to keep more than a
pound of pot at the store, neighbors report that during the getaway, the robbers' duffel bag
was so heavy that they had to drag it down to the car. As for the security cameras, club
officials claimed that they had mysteriously broken down that day, and there was no film
of the incident. Estes had used up his last store of good faith, and even the other clubs
agreed he had to go. "1 don't think Ken is a bad guy, but it's no longer appropriate for
him to operate in Berkeley," Duncan says. "The consensus of the Alliance is for Ken to
leave the city, to either move on or find another career. That conclusion has been some
time in coming. We're happy to have him as a friend, but it's in the best interest of the
patients that Ken close for real." Duncan's abandonment has left Estes fairly bitter. •
"Yeah, they don't want the competition," he says. "They can keep the prices high, and
they can control the game. It's business, it's all about business. If you're Starbuck, you
want Peet's out of town." Still, Estes has finally agreed to get out of town. He, his brother
Randy Moses, and Geshuri have signed a lease at a new club in Oakland, near the corner
of 18th Street and Broadway, where he promises to tighten up security. The numerous
car dealerships have given in this part of town its historic name, "Auto Row," but it
should really be called "Pot Row." Virtually all the pot clubs in Oakland are clustered in
this neighborhood, and they're not happy to see Estesjoin them. If Estes wants to defy
Jones, his new neighbors, the cops, and the entire city of Oakland, there's not much
anyone can do about it. Linda Maio was at a loss when it briefly looked like Estes had
decided to stay in Berkeley; she ineffectually threatened to circulate a petition and
prepare a nuisance complaint. As for, say, an undercover operation to catch Estes selling
to customers without a valid doctor's note, she never considered that option for a second,
and police won't say whether they did. If this the best local government can do, Estes is in
the clear. But medical marijuana's era of raw capitalism may be coming to an end. State
Senator John Vasconcellos has drafred a new bill regulating the industry, and now that it
has the support of both the California District Attorneys' Association and the California
State Sheriffs' Association, Governor Davis has indicated that he might sign it. The bill
would establish a statewide registry ofinedical-marijuana patients and caregivers, who
would receive a card certifying their medical status. Physicians would submit candidates
for medical pot to the county Health Department, which would approve or reject
applicants based on a review of the accuracy of the medical records.
50
H ~56
The state Department of Health Services would develop regulations that define how
much pot dispensaries can grow and store, bypassing the many nebulous questions
surrounding how pot clubs currently get their wholesale product. Although the bill's
primary intent is to protect patients facing reactionary and unjust arrests, the bill could
have the secondary effect of regulating cultivators. This may explain why Californians
for Compassionate Use, the organization that thought up Proposition 215, has joined the
Committee on Moral Concerns in opposing the bill. But get this: the registry system is
strictly voluntary. Vasconcellos' bill is more focused on reining in the police, and so it
barely dwells on reining in medical-pot cultivators. The new cards offer absolute
protection from scary Modoc County sheriffs, but in return both patients and caregivers
must operate responsibly. For operators in progressive cities such as Berkeley and
Oakland, who already can move in the light of day, there's no incentive to sign onto the
deal. And so, through a strange accident of history, marijuana seems likely to remain the
least-regulated ingestible substance in California. Of course, good old-fashioned drug
laws may solve the Ken Estes problem for us. Assistant district attorney Phyllis Franks of
Contra Costa County is preparing to try Estes on four felonies stemming from the
Concord raids, and if convicted, he'll be out of business. This brings up the final legal
question unresolved by Proposition 215: how do prosecutors determine whether someone
is a legally sanctioned caregiver, or a drug dealer? The answer is there is no answer.
District attorneys around the state have relied on counting pot plants; if you've got too
many, you must be a dealer. How many plants is too many? No one knows. While a
handful of cities such as Berkeley have capped the amount of pot cannabis clubs can have
• on hand, prosecutors more typically eyeball the plants and make a simple judgment call.
That's what they've done with Estes, but the system is hardly precise. If Estes is
convicted, he will pay a terrible price for this lack of precision; the charges carry a
possible prison sentence of three years and eight months. But his complex reputation also
could be laundered overnight. When Estes turned himself in, forty demonstrators
accompanied him to the station, and his image -- the martyr of medical marijuana,
persecuted by vindictive prosecutors -- was flashed across the nightly news throughout
the Bay Area. Stacey Trainor's allegations aside, Ken Estes seems a kind, generous man,
ready to take you into his company at a moment's notice. But nothing out there can
protect us from his tendency to trust the wrong people, of whom there are still plenty in
the shadowy, twilight world of marijuana. Estes admits he's made some mistakes, and
vows to improve his operation. "We began something here, and we didn't know where it
would go," he says. "I've made mistakes in retrospect, but we tried to work it out. Stacey
and all that stuff was a big problem -- I had no problems before that. 1 believe 1 know
who's behind this, the robberies. All this stuff that's gone on has happened since Stacey
went to the police, and the police believed her. They told me that many times women
turn on their drug-dealing boyfriends, and this seems like a case of that. I wish I could
have hired better people, but I can't say that I would have done anything different. I really
didn't foresee the criminal element making its presence like it did. But 1 can only do so
much." And should Estes revert to his old, seat-of--his-pants ways, we may have no
choice but to put up with him.

Medical marijuana merchant defies Oakland order to close. Others might go •
underground, as city's new rule gets mixed reaction from consumers, business
owners
Oakland Tribune (CA) Wednesday, June 02, 2004 By Laura Counts, STAFF WRITER
OAKLAND -- Medical marijuana patients who packed into the Dragonfly Holistic
Solutions dispensary on Telegraph Avenue on Tuesday seemed unaware the business had
been told by the city to shut down. They said they were seeking the most potent
medicine in town -- a strain of marijuana called "Barney Purple" -- and didn't like hearing
that new city rules will limit them to four city-sanctioned establishments. "If you enjoy
feeling pain-free, this is the place to be," said Sullivan Wallace of Oakland, who says he
has a cannabis prescription to fight chronic pain and anxiety. Seven existing dispensaries
and one proposed club had applied for the four business permits available. After a series
of hearings and several delays, the clubs were notified Friday afternoon whether they
made the cut. Those that received licenses will have to pay a $20,000 annual fee. Those
that did not were supposed to close Tuesday. Dragonfly did not make it, but owner Ken
Estes said he will continue to operate in defiance of city rules until he is arrested. He
planned a protest outside the dispensary Tuesday morning, but the only signs of one
emerged when the doors to the club opened 15 minutes late. "There is some kind of
discrimination going on behind the scenes," Estes said. "Or else the city is out of touch
with the patients, because we are the preferred club. When we opened, we forced prices
down and brought in higher quality (than the other clubs)." Other club owners, including
some who were issued permits, criticized the city's process as arbitrary and complained
that three days wasn't enough notice for them or the employees on their payrolls. Still, no •
one except Estes continued business as usual. One dispensary owner contended there are
clubs that did not even apply for a city permit and may try to operate under the radar.
"There are some who chose not to pay $300 and sign a confession," said Richard Lee,
owner of the Bulldog Cafe, who got a permit for his cafe on Broadway but not for his
small SR71 Cafe on 17th Street, according to the city manager's office. Even though Lee
received a permit, he contended the process was arbitrary and the four-club limit does not
make sense. He plans to move to a larger location to serve the additional customers the
closures will bring. "This thing is getting too big for them to say there can only be four
clubs. There are too many people who appreciate getting marijuana in a civilized way,"
said Lee, one of the backers of an initiative now collecting signatures for the November
ballot that would all but decriminalize adult use of marijuana in Oakland. Sparky Rose,
operator of Compassionate Access on Telegraph -- which also was approved -- said he
serves 7,000 patients and is expecting more. He plans to soon move to a larger location
nearby. "It was difficult to gauge what was important to the city when we were
presenting ourselves. There wasn't a lot of transparency in the process," Rose said, adding
that everyone was asked for the same information. "They should have extended the
deadline, because a lot of clubs have a lot of employees and a holiday weekend isn't
much notice." The city inspected the clubs for code violations, checked for any
complaints against them, and asked for information ranging from number of patients to
products to prices. In the end, according to a letter from the city's Administrative
Hearing Officer Larry Carroll to Estes, the city seemed to put more stock on who had
operated the longest.
•

H ~58
. The three clubs issued permits in the "uptown" area had operated between two and five
' years, though the fourth club on West Grand is a relative newcomer. The Lemon Drop
Coffee shop on Telegraph is one of the more established clubs in the area, nicknamed
"Oaksterdam," but it did not receive a permit. Owner Mark Belote said the well-stocked
coffee shop will continue to sell its mochas and pastries, gelatos and cakes, but stop pot
sales. "1 want to do everything legally. I've always been honest with them, so we'll see
what happens," he said. "1 have an eight-year lease here, so the cafe will stay open."
Karry Carr of The Green Door dispensary on Webster Street said he fully expected to get
a permit. The building met all code requirements and there were no complaints against
the club. It opened last October with the blessing of the city, even stating it was a
cannabis dispensary on its business license. The city renewed its license in February. The
Green Door is now seeking an injunction to stay open until it can get a court hearing. Its
owners contend the application process was fraudulent. Under the new rules, denial of
permits cannot be appealed, Carroll said. The final determination was made by City
Administrator Deborah Edgerly, who could not be reached for comment Tuesday. As for
those that continue to operate in violation, Carroll said, "the city is considering its
options." Carroll said he will send final warning letters and may give them a short grace
period. However, he noted, "all of those operating without permits are outside of the
city's low policing priority with regards to medical marijuana, so the police could take
action." The city will review the new rules in six months. Jeff Jones, director of the
Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative --which issues identification cards but does not
dispense -- said he has been advising clubs to follow the rules. "The city is'our friend,
• and we are in this together. They are doing what they feel they need to do," Jones said. "I
think the best practice is to close down quietly, and we'll spend the next six months
lobbying to increase the limit."

Marijuana Clubs Question Ethics Of City's Order To Close
Friday, May 19, 2006 by Tom Lochner Contra Costa Times
Richmond, CA -- With the crafting of a medical marijuana regulating ordinance stalled,
the Richmond City Attorney's office has ordered the immediate closure of two cannabis
clubs, the only ones known to operate in the city. One, Natural Remedies Health
Collective on Macdonald Avenue, promptly closed. The other, Holistic Solutions on
Hilltop Mall Road, remained open Thursday. Owner Ken Estes said he hopes to persuade
Richmond officials and council members that his business benefits both patients and the
city at large. In acease-and-desist order dated May 16, Assistant City Attorney Trisha
Aljoe told Natural Remedies owner Linda Jackson that failure to comply will result in the
filing of criminal charges. Estes said he received a similar letter. With no land-use
standards permitting medical marijuana dispensaries in the city, the letter reads, "your
continued marijuana operation is in clear violation of the Richmond Municipal Code and
constitutes both a public nuisance per se, as well as a criminal misdemeanor."
Jackson closed her shop Wednesday, but on Thursday, she questioned the legality and
ethics of the city's order. "This is taking away my livelihood and putting my patients in
harm's way," said Jackson.
•
53
H-59
She also questioned how the city could prosecute her, because no city law specifically •
addresses cannabis clubs, which are legal under California law -- unless the city decides
to enforce the federal law. In 1996, the state's voters approved marijuana for medical use
on the recommendation of a doctor. The federal government, however, considers
marijuana an illegal drug, with no medical use. Aljoe did not return calls Thursday.'The
city's administrative chief, Jane[ Schneider, said the city attorney's office takes the stand
that cannabis clubs are illegal since the city code does not explicitly permit them.
Moreover, she said, the city's zoning ordinance rules out unlawful activities in general.
Richmond's legal stand differs from that of some other Contra Costa cities, which passed
urgency moratoriums on the opening of cannabis clubs. Those cities, among them
Antioch, Oakley, Pinole and San Pablo, reasoned that without a moratorium, their cities
lacked the legal mechanism to keep cannabis clubs from opening absent any reference to
them in their municipal codes. Richmond, too, once had a moratorium; it lapsed in
October. A draft ordinance that would limit cannabis clubs to certain commercial areas
bounced among the Planning Commission, Public Safety Committee, City Council and
city staff for months. On Thursday, the committee declined to adopt a recommendation
by the city staff to declare cannabis clubs a "non-permitted use" and referred the matter to
the city council to consider as part of a general plan overhaul. Police Chief Chris
Magnus said Thursday that cannabis clubs are a drain on police resources. But earlier this
year, Richmond Police spokesman Lt. Mark Gagan quipped that things were so quiet at
Natural remedies he had virtually forgotten it existed. Magnus said there was a burglary
at Natural Remedies in May 2005. But Jackson said that occurred under a previous
owner. And at Holistic solutions, Magnus said, Richmond officers observed a steady
stream of young people coming and going, causing him to doubt they were there for •
medical reasons. But Estes said many younger people use medical marijuana for pain
resulting from injuries and that police should come inside to observe how he checks out
his patients.

Clearlake, CA: Moratorium on marijuana dispensaries (June 6, 2006)
Submitted by Nathan on Mon, 06/12/2006 - 9:24am. Lake County. California
Moratorium on marijuana dispensaries
06/06/2006 Denise Rockenstein, Lake County Record-Bee
Source: http://www.record-bee.com/oanews/ci 3906208
Should weed stay or should weed go now? In 1996, California voters said that it should
stay. Yet, 10 years after the passage of the Compassion Use Act, barriers are still
blocking patients' access to medicinal marijuana. The City of Clearlake is taking a
backseat in the movement, placing a moratorium on the issuing of business permits for
marijuana dispensaries. It is the city's hope that the issue will be resolved in Federal
Court before the moratorium, which has been extended to 10 months, 1 ~ days, is
complete. The moratorium prohibits the issuing of business permits for medicinal
marijuana dispensaries. Furthermore, it does not provide for renewal of business permits
for existing businesses that provide patient access to marijuana medicine.
•
54
H 60
• The purpose of the moratorium is to allow city staff time to establish zoning regulations
pertaining to medical marijuana dispensaries. According the staff report submitted to the
council on May 25, "Clearlake currently has no permitted Dispensaries, but the Police
Department believes there may be businesses distributing medical marijuana in the City,
and that it is likely that persons will seek land use entitlements and permits from the City
to distribute medical marijuana." Holistic Solutions, a natural healing center that
provides medicinal marijuana, has been operating on Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake for
more than a year under City of Clearlake Business License No. 4535. Another distributor,
Barrett Consulting, which operates Alternative Patient Services out of the Java Express
Mall, has been a permitted business in the City of Clearlake for more than four years. In
years past, there has not been a particular business license application available in the city
that specifically licenses a marijuana dispensary-type business. The city's business
application does however, require a description of the type of business for which the
license is being sought. Both Holistic Solutions and Barrett Consulting have been
successful in obtaining a business license as well as renewals of those licenses. As with
all City of Clearlake business licenses, both will expire on Sept. 30, 2006. "If something
doesn't change before (Sept. 30) I will be out of business," said James Barrett, Barrett
Consulting proprietor who began his business after recognizing a need for local access.
He further identified the elderly as being most affected by access barziers, stating that the
teenage population basically has unlimited street access to marijuana. "The thing with the
moratorium is that there is going to be a lot of (elderly), patients that can't get their
medicine." Barrett agrees that zoning regulations on medical marijuana dispensaries are
• needed as does Holistic Solutions co-owner Dave Moses. "Zoning regulations are badly
needed," Barrett said, "but, in my opinion, that should have been taken care of in 1997."
Moses has extended his assistance to the city staff in establishing regulations on
businesses providing medicinal marijuana to patients. Moses, along with his brother Ken
Estes, have been involved in the marijuana movement for more than 13 years. Estes,
president of Holistic Solutions, began using medical marijuana following a paralyzing
motorcycle accident in 1993. "When I was going through my rehab I tried marijuana for
the first time and it really worked. It did something that the pills weren't doing. It gave
me my appetite back and I could sleep," Estes explained from his wheelchair. "The pills
were breaking me down and the marijuana was kind of filling me up. Making me eat;
giving me a good positive attitude. There are some good characteristics to marijuana that
pharmaceuticals long to have." Estes and Moses were instnimental in the establishment
of regulations in the San Francisco area where they operate two more dispensaries. An
outline of those regulations has been submitted to city staff. As of Tuesday, June 6, the
city has made no attempt to contact either Estes or Moses although they are eagec,to help
put zoning regulations in place. "We want regulation and control because we believe in
that," Moses said. "We don't think that we should be within 100 feet of a school, or
operate all hours of the night, for example, and we would be like to be contributing our
fair share to the city's coffers." Although Moses had requested that the council include in
its moratorium authorization for renewal of existing business licenses, his request was
denied. However, Mayor Joyce Overton recommended that the item be brought back
before the council for a progress update iri August. Contact Denise Rockenstein at

d. The subject application is consistent with the objectives the Municipal Code; and
e. The proposed amendment is in conformance with the General Plan.
4. The Planning Department staff has determined that the project is statutorily exempt from
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's CEQA
Guidelines. The project qualifies under Section 15061 (b)(3) of CEQA because the ordinance will
impose greater limitations on uses than may be conducted on developed properties in the City and
will thereby serve to reduce potential significant adverse impacts. The Planning Commission has
reviewed the Planning Department's determination of exemption, and based on its own independent
judgment, concurs in the staff's determination of exemption.

MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES IN ALL ZONES, AND MAKING
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF.
A. Recitals.
(i) The People of the State of California approved Proposition 215, which was
codified as California Health and Safety Code § 11362.5 and entitled the Compassionate Use
Act of 1996 ("the AcY').
(ii) The Act prohibits the provisions of law making unlawful the possession or
cultivation of marijuana, from applying to a qualified patient, or to a patient's primary caregiver,
who possesses or cultivates marijuana for the personal medical use of the patient upon the
recommendation of a physician, and also prohibits the criminal prosecution or punishment of a
physician for having recommended marijuana to a patient for medical purposes.
(iii) Thereafter, the State Legislature enacted Senate Bill 420 (the "Medical Marijuana
Program"), codified as California Health and Safety Code § 11362.7, et seq., which requires the
State Department of Health Services to establish and maintain a voluntary program for the
issuance of identification cards to qualified patients and primary caregivers, and prohibits the
• arrest of a qualified patient or a primary caregiver with a valid identification card for the
possession, transportation, delivery, or cultivation of medical marijuana.'
(iv) One purpose of the Act and the Medical Marijuana Program is "[t]o encourage
the Federal and State governments to implement a plan to provide for the safe and affordable
distribution of marijuana to all patients in medical need of marijuana...."
(v) Neither the Federal nor the State government has implemented a specific plan
"to provide for the safe and affordable distribution of marijuana to all patients in medical need of
marijuana," leaving cities with a lack of direction about how the Act is intended to be
implemented, particularly in regard to distribution of medical marijuana through dispensaries.
(vi) The Medical Marijuana Program provides additional statutory guidance for
medical marijuana use and cultivation, but it does not explicitly address the role of dispensaries,
nor does it require that cities provide for or allow the establishment and/or operation of medical
marijuana dispensaries.
(vii) Notwithstanding the passage of the Act and the Medical Marijuana Program, the
possession for sale and distribution of marijuana is prohibited by the Controlled Substances Act,
21 U.S.C. § 841, and California Health and Safety Code §11359.
(viii) California law does not provide for the sale or distribution of marijuana by
medical marijuana dispensaries to a primary care giver, a qualified patient or a person with an
identification card, as those terms are defined in California Health and Safety Code §11362.7.

(ix) The Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code currently does not restrict the existence
or operation of medical marijuana dispensaries in the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
(x) Medical marijuana dispensaries have been established in numerous locations in
California, and as a consequence, local agencies have reported negative secondary effects on
the community, which effects include, illegal drug activity and drug sales in the vicinity of
dispensaries; robbery of persons leaving dispensaries; driving under the influence of a
controlled substance by persons who have obtained marijuana from a dispensary; persons
acquiring marijuana from a dispensary and then selling it to anon-qualified person; burglaries
and robberies; and an increase in vacancies in the commercial areas in the vicinity of such
businesses.
(xi) The California Police Chiefs Association has compiled an extensive report
detailing the negative secondary effects associated with medical marijuana dispensaries. The
City Council hereby finds that the report, a complete copy of which is on file in the City Clerk's
Office, contains persuasive anecdotal and documented evidence that medical marijuana
dispensaries pose a threat to public health, safety and welfare.
(xii) California Health and Safety Code §11362.5(b)(2) expressly provides that
nothing in the Act shall be construed to supersede legislation prohibiting persons from engaging
in conduct that endangers others, nor to condone the diversion of marijuana for non-medical
purposes. •
(xiii) The City Council hereby finds that, because of the inconsistency between State
and Federal law relating to the possession, sale and distribution of marijuana, and because of
the documented threat to public health, safety and welfare, it is in the best interests of the
citizens of the City of Rancho Cucamonga that the City prohibit the establishment and operation
of medical marijuana dispensaries within any and all zones of the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
(xiv) This Ordinance is enacted pursuant to California Health and Safety Code §§
11362.5(b)(2) and 11362.83, and the City's police power as granted broadly under Article XI,
Section 7 of the California Constitution, in order to promote the health, safety and welfare of the
residents of the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
