High Bridge Arms). The space is approximately 1,350 square feet in size. No parking is provided or required and no physical expansion is proposed for the structure. The proposed MCD will also dispense medical cannabis in the form of food or drink, and will permit onsite consumption. The MCD will not cultivate cannabis on site. Tenant improvements will be made on this property to comply with Mayor’s Office of Disability requirements. The proposed hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., daily. The subject commercial space has approximately 25feet of frontage on Mission Street. The project sponsor will maintain fulltime security, which includes indoor and outdoor video cameras, security guards stationed at the front door, and security personnel to monitor the immediate area. The project sponsor will also participate in keeping the streets clean and safe through graffiti removal, touchup painting, pressure washing and window cleaning to contribute positively to the commercial district. To address odor concerns, a negative pressure ventilation system with charcoal airfilters will be used indoors; however, the proposed MCD intends to only allow vaporizing to preclude the most offensive odors. Planning Code Section 790.141 states that all MCDs are required to be heard by the Planning Commission, which will consider whether or not to exercise their discretionary review powers over the building permit application.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposal  is  to  establish  a new Medical Cannabis Dispensary  (MCD)  at  3185 Mission  Street  (d.b.a 

Bernal Heights Cooperative), to replace a vacant ground floor commercial space previously occupied by a 

gun shop (d.b.a. High Bridge Arms). The space is approximately 1,350 square feet in size. No parking is 

provided or required and no physical expansion is proposed for the structure.   

  

The proposed MCD will also dispense medical cannabis in the form of food or drink, and will permit on‐

site consumption. The MCD will not cultivate cannabis on site. Tenant  improvements will be made on 

this property to comply with Mayor’s Office of Disability requirements. The proposed hours of operation 

are  8  a.m.  to  10  p.m.,  daily.  The  subject  commercial  space  has  approximately  25‐feet  of  frontage  on 

Mission Street.  

 

The project sponsor will maintain full‐time security, which includes indoor and outdoor video cameras, 

security guards stationed at  the  front door, and security personnel  to monitor  the  immediate area. The 

project sponsor will also participate in keeping the streets clean and safe through graffiti removal, touch‐

up painting, pressure washing and window cleaning to contribute positively to the commercial district. 

To address odor  concerns, a negative pressure ventilation  system with  charcoal air‐filters will be used 

indoors; however,  the proposed MCD  intends  to only allow vaporizing  to preclude  the most offensive 

odors. 

 

Planning  Code  Section  790.141  states  that  all  MCDs  are  required  to  be  heard  by  the  Planning 

Commission, which will consider whether or not to exercise their discretionary review powers over the 

building permit application.

CASE NO. 2016-005312DRM3185 Mission Street

SITE DESCRIPTION AND PRESENT USE The project site is a 2,086 square foot (sf) lot, developed with a two‐story mixed‐use building located on 

the east side of Mission Street, between Powers and Fair Avenues, in the Bernal Heights neighborhood. 

The  building  consists  of  ground  floor  commercial  space  that  has  been  vacant  since  late  2015,  and  a 

residential unit at  the second  level. The commercial space  in question was most recently occupied by a 

gun shop (d.b.a. “High Bridge Arms”).  

 

SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND NEIGHBORHOOD The Moderate‐Scale Neighborhood Commercial District (NC‐3) covers multiple sections of Mission Street 

between Cesar Chavez and Randall Streets  in  the Bernal Heights neighborhood. Properties behind  the 

subject property,  to  the  east,  are within  the RH‐2  (Residential  – House, Two Family) Zoning District. 

Generally, the NC‐3 Districts are mixed use districts that support neighborhood‐serving commercial uses 

to  a  population  greater  than  the  immediate  neighborhood.  These Districts  are well‐served  by  public 

transit and  located along heavily  trafficked  thoroughfares with major  transit routes. Buildings range  in 

height, with height limits generally allowing up to four stories, occasionally taller. Lots vary in size, with 

generally small‐ or medium‐sized parcels. 

 

The subject district is mixed use, with a mix of street‐fronting retail businesses at the ground floor, and 

residential above. The buildings on the subject block range from one to two stories in height. The range of 

comparison  of  goods  and  services  offered  is  varied, with  uses  such  as  restaurant,  limited  restaurant, 

printing services, church, barber shop and other retail services. To the north of the subject property is a 

two‐story mixed‐use  building with  a  printing  services  space  and  two  dwellings.  To  the  south  of  the 

subject property  is a  two‐story mixed‐use building with a bar and  three dwellings. The area  is  transit‐

oriented  and  the  commercial  uses  serve  residents  of  the  area  as well  as  residents  and  visitors  from 

adjacent and other neighborhoods.  

 

The District is served by transit along Mission Street, with major bus  lines (#12, 14, 14R, 27, 36, and 49) 

within  a  quarter mile  of  the  subject  block.   Within  250  feet  of  the  subject  property,  15  bikeways  are 

available to the public as well.  

 

ISSUES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Medical Cannabis Dispensary  (MCD). Planning Code Section 202.2(e)(1)  states  that all MCDs 

are  required  to be heard by  the Planning Commission, which will  consider whether or not  to 

exercise its discretionary review powers over the building permit application. 

 

San Francisco Health Code, Article 33, Medical Cannabis Act 3308: 

(e)   It  is  unlawful  for  any  person  or  association  operating  a  medical  cannabis  dispensary  under  the 

provisions  of  this Article  to  permit  any  breach  of  peace  therein  or  any  disturbance  of  public  order  or 

decorum by any tumultuous, riotous or disorderly conduct, or otherwise, or to permit such dispensary to 

remain open, or patrons to remain upon the premises, between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. the next day. 

However,  the Department  shall  issue  permits  to  two medical  cannabis  dispensaries  permitting  them  to 

remain  open 24 hours per day. These medical  cannabis dispensaries  shall be  located  in  order  to provide 

services  to  the  population most  in need  of  24  hour  access  to medical  cannabis. These medical  cannabis

dispensaries shall be  located at  least one mile  from each other and shall be accessible by  late night public 

transportation services. However, in no event shall a medical cannabis dispensary located in a Small‐Scale 

Neighborhood  Commercial  District,  a  Moderate  Scale  Neighborhood  Commercial  District,  or  a 

Neighborhood  Commercial  Shopping  Center  District  as  defined  in  Sections  711,  712  and  713  of  the 

Planning Code, be one of the two medical cannabis dispensaries permitted to remain open 24 hours per day. 

 

The 3185 Mission Street MCD project will afford the sponsor the opportunity to comply with the 

SF Health Code and operate  legally and under SFDPH  supervision. The applicant will  still be 

required  to obtain a permit  from SFDPH and will be  subject  to  their  regulations  including  tax 

compliance, non‐profit operation, background  checks and annual  compliance  inspections. This 

proposal would convert a vacant retail space to a medical cannabis dispensary use and would be 

independent of the residential use within the existing building.   

 

Planning  Code  Compliance.  The  proposed MCD  complies  with  all  relevant  Planning  Code 

requirements. Most notably,  the subject property was  found  to not  fall within 1,000  feet of any 

public  or  private  elementary  or  secondary  school  or  community  facility  or  recreation  center 

primarily serving persons younger than 18 years of age. However, the MCD is within 1,000 feet 

of  two  locations  with  preschools  (d.b.a  “Little  Tree  Preschool”,  and  “Family  School”).  A 

preschool  is not  considered an elementary  school, and  is more alike  to  childcare or a Personal 

Service use; therefore, the MCD complies with the Planning Code.  

 

Previous Planning Code Violation. The proposed MCD relocated from their previous location at 

33 29th Street and reopened at the subject property without required approvals from the Planning 

Department or Department of Public Health. An enforcement case (2016‐009240ENF) was opened 

by  the  Planning Department  to  ensure  the  dispensary would  not  operate  until  receiving  the 

required City approvals. The enforcement case was opened on 7/15/2016 and abated on 7/27/16. 

The Department  of Public Health  is  currently working with  the project  sponsor  to  resolve  an 

issue with a delivery  service allegedly associated with  the project  sponsor, which  is operating 

without a permit.     

 

Clustering and Neighborhood Impact. In the subject zoning district, the Planning Code does not 

prohibit the clustering of MCDs, nor does the San Francisco Health Code. However, there are two 

other existing MCDs  in  the vicinity. The previous  location of  the proposed MCD,  located at 33 

29th  Street,  is  now  operated  by  a  different MCD,  doing  business  as  “Harvest.” An  additional 

MCD  (d.b.a  “Cookie  Co.  415”)  is  located  at  3139  Mission  Street,  while  a  pending  MCD 

application is currently under review at 3326 Mission Street. Clustering is an issue that has been 

raised and may create unique neighborhood  impact issues. However, with actions proposed by 

the  project  sponsor,  and  associated  conditions  of  approval,  to  enhance  safety  on  the  street, 

prevent  loitering,  and  to  promote  cleanliness  in  the  immediate  area,  there  are  no  substantial 

negative impacts foreseen by three MCDs in this area of Bernal Heights.  

 

Traffic Impact. The proposed collective will not be utilizing a dedicated on‐street parking space 

for pick up and/or delivery point for medical marijuana. As the subject space is 1,644 square feet, 

it  is  very unlikely  to  cause  any  negative  traffic  impact  around  the  project  site. Therefore,  the

Department does not  anticipate  any negative  impact  on  traffic  on  the  streets  surrounding  the 

project site. 

Proposition  64/Adult Use  of Marijuana Act. Although  approved  by  the  voters  in November 

2016, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act does not authorize any existing or future MCD to distribute 

nonmedical  (aka “adult use”) cannabis without  (1) a  state  license and  (2) compliance with San 

Francisco’s  local  laws. While  Proposition  64  requires  the  State  to  begin  issuing  licenses  by 

January 2018, the Planning Department, along with other City agencies, is crafting local land use 

and  other  regulatory  controls  to  address  the  production,  processing,  and  sale  of  adult  use 

cannabis. Per Mayor Lee’s Executive Directive 16‐05,  these  regulations are  to be  introduced by 

September 2017 so that they can be effective prior to the onset of the State licensing system.  The 

Department  maintains  a  very  high  level  of  confidence  that  San  Francisco  will  embrace  the 

opportunity  to  establish  local  land  use  regulations  for  adult  use  cannabis  businesses,  and  in 

particular that these controls will articulate a discretionary process through which existing MCDs 

can  apply  to  convert  in whole or part  to  adult use  cannabis dispensaries.  It  is unlikely  in  the 

extreme  that  existing MCDs will be  allowed  to dispense  adult use  cannabis dispensaries on  a 

ministerial (or “automatic”) basis. As with any change to the Planning Code, these controls will 

be presented to the Planning Commission for review and discussion prior to consideration by the 

Board of Supervisors and Mayor.

CASE NO. 2016-005312DRM3185 Mission Street

 

OBJECTIVE 1: 

MANAGE  ECONOMIC GROWTH AND  CHANGE  TO  ENSURE  ENHANCEMENT OF  THE 

TOTAL CITY LIVING AND WORKING ENVIRONMENT. 

 

Policy 1.1 

Encourage  development  which  provides  substantial  net  benefits  and  minimizes  undesirable 

consequences.  Discourage  development which  has  substantial  undesirable  consequences  that 

cannot be mitigated. 

 

The Project will provide access to safe, convenient access to medical cannabis, which has been recognized as 

beneficial option to the residents of San Francisco. 

 

Policy 1.2: 

Assure    that   all   commercial   and    industrial   uses   meet   minimum,   reasonable   performance 

standards. 

 

The location for the proposed MCD meets all of the requirements in Section 790.141 of the Planning Code. 

 

OBJECTIVE 2: 

MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE A SOUND AND DIVERSE ECONOMIC BASE AND FISCAL 

STRUCTURE FOR THE CITY. 

 

Policy 2.1 

Seek to retain existing commercial and industrial activity and to attract new such activity to the 

city. 

 

The Project  allows  an  existing  business  to  remain  in  the  Bernal Heights  neighborhood,  increasing  the 

diversity  of  job  and  activity  types within  this District, at  its new  location. The previous  location of  the 

Bernal Heights Cooperative was 33 29th Street. 

 

OBJECTIVE 7: 

ENHANCE SAN FRANCISCO’S  POSITION  AS  A  NATIONAL  AND  REGIONAL 

CENTER FOR GOVERNMENTAL, HEALTH, AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES. 

 

Policy 7.3:   

Promote  the provision of adequate health and educational services  to all geographical districts 

and cultural groups in the city. 

 

The Project will service chronically  ill patients who are  in great need of this type of medical service.   By 

allowing  the  services  provided  by  the MCD,  its  patients  are  provided with  convenient,  safe  access  to 

medication for their aliments.

SECTION 101.1 PRIORITY POLICIES Planning  Code  Section  101.1  establishes  eight  priority  policies  and  requires  review  of  permits  for 

consistency, on balance, with these policies.  The Project complies with these policies as follows:    

 

1. Existing neighborhood‐serving  retail uses be preserved and enhanced and  future opportunities  for 

resident employment in and ownership of such businesses enhanced. 

 

The proposed use is a neighborhood‐serving use.  The location for the MCD is currently vacant so the new use 

will not displace a previous neighborhood serving use. 

 

2. That existing housing and neighborhood character be conserved and protected  in order to preserve 

the cultural and economic diversity of our neighborhoods. 

 

The project occupies a ground  floor commercial space and will adhere with all signage regulations defined  in 

Article 33 of the Health Code to help preserve the existing neighborhood character. The proposed use would not 

adversely affect the existing neighborhood character. 

 

3. That the Cityʹs supply of affordable housing be preserved and enhanced. 

 

The proposed use  is  located  in a space previous occupied by non‐residential uses so the proposed use will not 

displace any affordable housing.  

 

4. That commuter traffic not impede MUNI transit service or overburden our streets or neighborhood 

parking. 

 

The site is close to multiple public transit lines and the immediate neighborhood provides sufficient short‐term 

parking so the use will not impede transit operations or impact parking.  

 

5. A  diverse  economic  base  be  maintained  by  protecting  our  industrial  and  service  sectors  from 

displacement  due  to  commercial  office  development,  and  that  future  opportunities  for  resident 

employment and ownership in these sectors be enhanced. 

 

The subject space is vacant and will not displace any industrial or service industry establishments. 

 

6. The City achieves  the greatest possible preparedness  to protect against  injury and  loss of  life  in an 

earthquake. 

 

The MCD will follow standard earthquake preparedness procedures and any construction would comply with

CASE NO. 2016-005312DRM3185 Mission Street

8. Parks and open space and their access to sunlight and vistas be protected from development. 

 

The project will not restrict access  to any open space or parks and will not  impact any open space or park’s 

access to sunlight or vistas. 

 

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The project is categorically exempt from the environmental review process under Section 15301 Class 1(a) 

of the State CEQA Guidelines, pursuant to Title 14 of the California Administrative Code. 

BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION In  1996,  California  voters  passed  Proposition  215,  known  as  the  Compassionate  Use  Act,  by  a  56% 

majority.    In San Francisco, Proposition 215 passed by a 78% majority.   The  legislation established  the 

right  of  seriously  ill  Californians,  including  those  suffering  from  illnesses  such  as AIDS,  cancer  and 

glaucoma, to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes when prescribed by a physician. 

 

MCDs  began  to  be  established  in  San  Francisco  shortly  after  Proposition  215  passed  as  a means  of 

providing safe access to medical cannabis for those suffering from debilitating illnesses.  At that time, San 

Francisco did not have any  regulatory controls  in place  to  restrict  the placement and operations of  the 

dispensaries.  As a result, over 40 dispensaries were established in the city without any land use controls, 

often resulting in incompatible uses next to each other. 

 

On December 30, 2005, the Medical Cannabis Act, as approved by the Board of Supervisors and Mayor, 

became effective. The Act, set forth in Ordinance 275‐05 and supported by Ordinances 271‐05 and 273‐05, 

amended  the Planning, Health, Traffic, and Business and Tax Regulation Codes  in order  to establish a 

comprehensive regulatory framework for MCDs in San Francisco. 

 

The Act designates  the Department of Public Health  (DPH)  as  the  lead  agency  for permitting MCDs. 

DPH  conducts  its  own  review  of  all  applications  and  also  refers  applications  to  other  involved City 

Agencies, including the Planning Department, in order to verify compliance with relevant requirements. 

The  Planning Department’s  review  is  generally  limited  to  the  location  and  physical  characteristics  of 

MCDs.   

The MCD complies with all standards and requirements of the Planning Code and advances the 

objectives and policies of the General Plan. 

This Site will not significantly impact public transit. 

The Site is more than 1,000ʹ from any primary and secondary school. 

The Site is more than 1,000ʹ from any active youth‐services facility. 

No cannabis plants would be cultivated on‐site. 

Filtered ventilation is provided for consumption on‐site. 

Only employees registered with SFDPH will be at the subject property.

Bernal Heights Cooperative

SECTION I -EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Bernal Heights Cooperative is anon-profit established with the mission to provide access to safe,

high-quality and affordable medical cannabis to patients in need under Proposition 215, SB 420,

and Article 33 of the San Francisco Health Code. We are an organization that embraces San

Francisco's vibrantly diverse cultural and economic communities. We serve medical cannabis

patients with compassion and respect, in a welcoming environment that aims to make all patients

feel safe and comfortable. Bernal Heights Cooperative is an active member of the local

community, actively contributing to the success of other local business and to the benefit of other

non-profit, community organizations. We are a group of San Francisco and Bay Area natives

who take pride in serving the community we call home.

SECTION II -BUSINESS HISTORY, BACKGROUND, AND OBJECTIVES

1. Briefly describe when, how, and why you formed the company and its development so far

Bernal Heights Collective was originally formed in 2005 by Johnny Battista, and was awarded one

of San Francisco's first MCD permits. Bernal Heights Collective was considered "the city's

dispensary' whose mission was to "serve the underserved" in San Francisco.

In 2012, Johnny Battista converted the MCD permit from Bernal Heights Collective, to Bernal

Heights Cooperative.

In July of 2015, the building at 33 29th Street was purchased by the investment group behind

Harvest, a new luxury dispensary chain in San Francisco. The Cooperative was informed by the

new building owner that the Cooperative would be evicted at the end of the lease in March 2016,

and would be replaced by the second Harvest chain dispensary location.

In October 2015, Johnny Battista signed Sean Killen and Nathan DeSomber onto the Board to

oversee the permit application process for the new MCD location, and successful transition of

Cooperative operations.

Between October 2nd, and December 31st 2015, the Cooperative was able to remedy over

$100k in vendor debt, local business debt, and tax debt that had been accrued by Johnny

Battista since 2012.

Bernal Heights Cooperative

In January 2016, it was discovered that the application for the new MCD location at 3185 Mission

Street had not submitted as promised by Nathan DeSomber, the money for the $8,800 MCD

application fee was gone, and over $30k more of the Cooperative's money that was earmarked

for vendors and taxes had been embezzled by Johnny Battista and Nathan DeSomber. A

Cooperative vote was held, and approved, to remove both from their management positions in the

Cooperative.

On June 15th 2015, the Cooperative was evicted from 33 29th Street.

With the support of thousands of local residents, local businesses, and neighborhood associations,

managing members of the Cooperative have since made every effort to oversee the transition of

the Cooperative's MCD permit from 33 29th Street, to 3185 Mission Street, in the very same

neighborhood, serving the very same patient base, less than 1000 feet away.

2. Lisf your short term and long term objectives

Our short term objective is simple;

seek approval from Planning to use 3185 Mission Street as the new location of our

MCD, and to reacquire our MCD permit from the Health Department.

Our long term objectives, pursuant to our approval by Planning and Permitting by Health;

Seek approval to begin cultivation of medical cannabis at a location within San Francisco

Create more employment and ownership opportunities for members of the community

Strive for excellence in product and service

Serve our patient base through a strategy of excellence in quality, service, and price

Grow through word-of-mouth.

Continue and expand our community service/compassion programs

Offer a delivery service for patients who are unable to easily make it into the MCD

3. Describe your company's major successes or achievements to date including difficulties

and/or obsfac/es that your company has overcome

Our most major success to date, has been sticking together to survive a tremendously challenging

year. Maintaining positive relationships with our patient community, and the local business

community, and navigating a new MCD application process that seemed financially untenable.

Bernal Heights Cooperative

The Cooperative lost its MCD permit through process of eviction by an out-of-town investment

group who specifically evicted the Cooperative to open their own MCD without having to go

through Discretionary review process with the City's Planning Commission. A loophole, cleverly

exploited, by an investment group that manages their MCD chain as afor-profit corporation under

the expectation of maximum investor return. Not patient care. A group that has made a mockery

of the guiding tenets of San Francisco's Medical Cannabis Dispensary permitting process. To

make things worse, the Cooperative lost tens of thousands of dollars to embezzlement by people

who were trusted to protect the group's best interests and economic sustainability. The only way

for the Cooperative to survive, was to band together, take charitable donations, secure another

location, and absorb the costs associated with a new application and renovations to achieve ADA

compliance and receive signoff from MOD for our new location.

Over a year fraught with obstacles, the Cooperative has banded together to support a cause we

all feel is tremendously important and worthy of our efforts and sacrifice.

Although understandably not at the forefront of City considerations, "Corporate Cannabis" is a

genuine threat to the preservation of our City's cultural and economic diversity. BHC represents

a long-standing approach to "Community Cannabis", an inclusive approach where the best

interests of patients, and the local community, is prioritized over profits.

Our ultimate success would come from The City recognizing, and protecting, Community

Cannabis as the best path forward for the cannabis industry in San Francisco.

5. Describe how the company was initially capitalized, and how if has been funded since

its founding

Bernal Heights Cooperative is self-funded non-profit, operating from donations by patients in and

around the community

6. Describe any important changes in the structure, ownership, management, or key

personnel which have taken place in the past year.

Changes to the Cooperative's management over the last year are addressed in Section II above

SECTION III -PRESENT MARKET

7. Describe your present market. Give geographic location of your customers and types of

customers you serve.

Bernal Heights Cooperative present market consists of medical cannabis patients, largely

residents of the Mission, Outer Mission, Bernal Heights, Portola, Castro, Noe Valley, Excelsior,

and Visitation Valley. Our patient base consists of people from all cultural and economic

backgrounds, however, we do serve a larger percentage of seniors, disabled, and members

of the LGBT community, than other MCDs in the area, as we are known to offer a more

medically focused menu in a more welcoming environment

8. Identify major customers and include a brief description and explanation of any special

relationship between your company and its customers.

Although our patient base is wide and diverse, the common ground among all is the need for

reliable, safe, and discreet access to medical cannabis. Our patients depend on our service to

treat symptoms from the everyday, to the extraordinary. Over the years we have developed a

relationship with thousands of patients in order to understand their individual needs, and cater our

MCD to accommodate as many patients as possible. BHC was the only MCD in the City to carry

many specialty products, such as whole-plant "Rick Simpson Oil", CBD rich options, topicals, and

suppositories. While expensive and inconvenient to carry, it is these kinds of medical cannabis

products that are sought out by patients who are suffering from some of the most severe

medical conditions.

9. Describe your current marketing approach. How do you sell your products/services?

Our marketing approach can best be described as a word-of-mouth strategy. Our only form of

advertising had been a listing on the popular medical cannabis review site, Weedmaps.

Otherwise, we rely on exceptional quality and service to create word-of-mouth referrals to grow

our patient base and build loyalty within that base.

SECTION IV -COMPETITION

10. List those firms you have identified as primary competitors in your market(s). Identify

their strengths and weaknesses.

Although we don't view other MCDs as competitors, they do represent alternative options to the

experience we provide at BHC. In our community, there are two other MCDs for patients to

choose:

Cookie Co. 415 - 3139 Mission Street

- Sfrengths- A popular hip-hop lifestyle brand, primarily among the 18-25 age bracket, Cookies

has a devoted following of younger patients who are seeking specific strains that

are popular among Rap artists

- Weaknesses

- Reported by BHC patients as an unsuitable alternative for them because they do

not feel safe or comfortable in that environment

Harvest - 33 29th Street

- Strengths- Well-funded

- Beautifully designed

- Weaknesses- Limited selection due to poor industry relationships

- Selection is typically reviewed as "overpriced" compared to alternatives

- Neighboring businesses have reported that the design of Harvest, although

beautiful, is not medical, and people have been confusing it for ahigh-end grocery

market

- The consumption lounge is for "members only", and membership requires a

monthly payment, making it an exclusionary environment that BHC patients are not

accustomed

11. What advantages and disadvantages does your company have as compared with its

primary competitors?

Our advantage include:

1. Longstanding relationship with the patients in the community

2. More affordable products and a broader selection of specifically medical products

3. More experienced cultivators who can ensure the best quality medicine is being delivered

at the most affordable rate to the patient possible

4. An open and welcoming environment that is meant to serve all members of the community

equally

5. We are not a business focused on maximizing the bottom line. We are a Cooperative of

the community, for the community, that the community feels proud to support

SECTION V -MARKETING PLAN

12. Describe your marketing plan

Our marketing plan is simple; provide excellence in quality, service, affordability, and accessibility.

Then let patients handle our marketing through word-of-mouth referrals

SECTION VI -MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION

73. Describe your management team and list its strengths and weaknesses

Our management team consists of San Francisco and Bay Area natives between the ages of

36-60. The team holds a combined:

- Four Bachelors Degrees from California Universities

- One JD Degree from USF

- A Certification in Ethics and Compliance

- Over 40 years of combined cultivation experience for San Francisco's medical cannabis

patients- Over 10 years of MCD management experience

ATTACHMENT B

Applicant's Statement -Planning Department Application for MCD - 3185 Mission Street

2. Specific factors which contribute to the compatibility and appropriateness of the Medical

Cannabis Dispensary wifh the immediate neighborhood and broader City environment;

Bernal Heights Cooperative has been serving patients in the community from its permitted MCD

at 33 29th Street since 2005. In the Summer of 2015, the building at 33 29th Street was sold to

the investment group behind the new luxury dispensary chain in San Francisco, Harvest. The

same investment group that purchased the building at 4811 Geary Street and evicted The Hemp

Center in order to obtain a location that was already approved by the Planning Department to

operate as an MCD. Harvest on Geary opened in December of 2015.

In June of 2016, Bernal Heights Cooperative was evicted from 33 29th Street. A second Harvest

location, Harvest off Mission, now exists in that location.

We are a community organization with a track record of discreetly, responsibly, and

respectfully serving a large and diverse base of medical cannabis patients in the

community. We pride ourselves in providing safe and affordable medicine in a comfortable,

service oriented setting that is open to all of San Francisco's vibrantly diverse communities. Our

patients in the community appreciate the service we provide and have signed an abundance of

petitions supporting our efforts to reopen in our new location following our eviction.

We pride ourselves in being good neighbors, and contributing back into the community and to the

benefit of other local businesses. We are supported by local businesses and neighborhood

organizations as a contributing member of the small-business community.

The managing members and staff of the Cooperative are all San Francisco and Bay Area natives.

We are not outside investors who look at an MCD as a bottom line business. We believe in

Proposition 215, we believe in Cannabis as natural medicine for awide-array of symptoms, and

we take pride in the service we provide to communities we care about in the city we call home.

3. Neighborhood outreach efforts made and the results/input from those efforts;

Pertaining to the proposed, we have made outreach efforts to all neighboring businesses

within 300 feet, and beyond, and all relevant community associations.

The feedback from local businesses has been fully supportive. Letters of support

will be available on the date of hearing along with petitions of support from local

residents.

Our outreach to Neighborhood associations are as follows:

- Mission Bernal Merchants Association

- July 19th -Afternoon -spoke to Eden Stein at her place of business, Secession Art

& Design at 3235 Mission Street. I Informed her of our situation and our pending

application, she explained she was already aware as she knew people close to her

who are members of the Cooperative and appreciated our efforts at the MCD to

provide for patients in the community. When asked how she felt about us moving,

she said she had heard good things about us from people close to her in the

community and she supports us opening as long as we do it the "right" way.

- December 22nd - 1:15pm -Spoke to Eden Stein, she said she still supports us

opening, as long as we're doing it the "right" way. I explained our current situation

and our pending Discretionary Review with Planning and asked if she would be

willing to provide a formal letter of support. She declined, stating that she had

decided to remain "neutral" between Bernal Heights Cooperative and Harvest.

Harvest being the corporation that runs atwo-location chain of MCDs in our

previously permitted location at 33 29th Street

- Tiffany Street Neighborhood Association

The owners of our neighboring coffee shop on 29th Street, Cafe 48, lead the

Tiffany Street Association. We have along-standing positive relationship as

neighbors who have been respectful, have contributed to the neighborhood, and

have contributed to the benefit of local business. A formal letter of support will

be available on our hearing date

4. Any other circumstances applying to the property involved which you feel suppo►t yourapplication;

The proposed is located on a block of Mission Street in Bernal Heights that is seeing morecommunity restaurants and shops being added to the already lively bar scene in theneighborhood. The presence of a clean, safe; and respectable MCD in the area, operating fromthe full business hours of Sam-10pm everyday, would be a tremendous benefit to all of thelocally owned small businesses in the area. With the application of our Crime Preventionthrough Environmental Design, our presence on the block will serve to further benefit thecommunity through Cooperative funded cleanup and beautification services and daily streetsecurity from the hours of Sam-10pm. Since the block is all ground level commercial and athoroughfare of muni transit, our operating hours would not be an interruption to the quietenjoyment of the residential tenants. The area has plenty of public transportation, meteredparking, and is within walking distance to three major neighborhoods in the community. Theproposed would allow a long time, medically-focused, community non-profit to continue its longstanding service to the community without disturbing the enjoyment of the local community.

Priority General Plan Policies Findings

1. That existing neighborhood-serving retail uses be preserved and enhanced and future

opportunities for resident employment in and ownership of such businesses enhanced;

The proposed is aneighborhood-serving use. Previously a retail use guns store, the location has

been vacant since October 2015. The proposed will provide dozens of resident employment

opportunities that wouldn't otherwise exist..

2. That existing housing and neighborhood character be conserved and protected in order to

preserve the cultural and economic diversity of our neighborhoods;

The project occupies a ground floor commercial space and will adhere with all signage regulations

defined in Article 33 of the San Francisco Health Code to visually preserve the existing

neighborhood character. The proposed use would protect the neighborhood's existing diverse

cultural and economic character by providing equally for patients in the community, and by

providing dozens of employment opportunities for residents in the community who are in need of

such opportunities to sustain a livelihood in San Francisco.

3. Thaf the City's supply of affordable housing be preserved and enhanced;

The proposed use is located in a space previous occupied by non-residential uses so the

proposed use wilt not displace any affordable housing.

4. Thaf commuter traffic not impede Muni transit service or overburden our sfreefs or

neighborhood parking;

The site is close to multiple public transit lines and the immediate neighborhood provides sufficient

short-term, metered parking so the use will not impede transit operations or impact parking.

Security PlanBernal Heights Cooperative - 3185 Mission Street

Our security philosophy at BHC is Crime Prevention through Environmental Design. The

principles of CPTED are:

- Natural Surveillance- Natural Access Control

- Territorial Reinforcement- Maintenance and Management

The Bernal Heights community is evolving. Having historically been an area of San Francisco with

a higher level of crime, the last few years have seen new developments along Mission Street that

aim to shape the neighborhood as a safer and friendly place. With several locally owned and

operated bars, restaurants and shops, neighborhood businesses rely on each other to define the

tone and safety of the local environment. BHC aims to be a leader in that effort. In addition to the

on-site security factors outlined below, we will also continue our efforts to keep the streets on and

around our establishment clean and monitored for security. Those efforts include weekly Sunday

street cleaning, and once a month "deep" cleaning. Through our compassion programs, we have

enlisted the efforts of San Francisco's well-intending, and under-employed who are in need of

access to free medical cannabis, to serve the Bernal Heights Community through street

cleaning and neighborhood volunteer efforts.

Although successful, and appreciated by the neighbors in our last location, we intend to expand

the scope of the "Maintenance and Management" aspect of our practiced CPTED as we are

looking at a location on a bigger block with more public foot, muni, and automobile traffic. We will

make our compassion team available to the neighborhood for projects upon request. We intend

the program to service requests including, but not limited to; graffiti removal and touch up

painting, pressure washing, and window cleaning. With resources applied to keeping our

neighborhood clean and safe for all, the presence of any criminal element, and therefore the risk

of being targeted by any criminal element, will decrease.

With that in mind, to cover the aspects of Natural Surveillance, Natural Access Control, and

Territorial Reinforcement, we have implemented the following Security Controls:

1. Fixtures

a. Roll down gate at the street

b. Triple bolted front door

c. Four Protective Bollards bolted into cement foundation on the inside of the front

door

enforcement with street security footage to aid in local cases. With security

cameras covering the area around the intersection at Mission Street and Valencia

Street, BHC will be able to continue community policing efforts with trained, local,

community-focused security personnel. Security personnel will be responsible for

maintaining adirect-line relationship with local law enforcement.

b. Neighboring businesses will have a direct line to security personnel to address any

issues or concerns they feel may involve the Cooperative

Ventilation Plan

Having operated an MCD with on-site consumption in Bernal Heights for the last ten years, we

have along-standing relationship with the neighboring community and an understanding of the

importance in being a polite and considerate neighbor. We understand the odor associated with

medical cannabis can be a concern for people in the community. To ensure no noxious or

offensive odors escape from the premises, we have implemented a two factor approach.

As a primary step, we will not allow smoking. Only vaping will be allowed on premise, thus

eliminating the most offensive of odors associated with cannabis consumption.

Secondly, we have installed a system for negative pressure ventilation. The system consists of the

following:

1. Can-Max Filter 2500 CFM - 2.5 inch active carbon filter bed

2. 12" Can Fan Max-Fan - 1708 CFM

3. Phat Muffler - NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) 85%

4. Sound Isolated Flex Duct with external ventilation

By running active charcoal filtration and external ventilation at 1708 Cubic Feet Per Minute, the

entire atmosphere of the unit will be charcoal filtered and externally ventilated every other minute.

The ventilated air will be active charcoal filtered and free of any odor. The muffler and sound

isolated flex duct will ensure neighboring units will not be disturbed by the sound of of the

ventilation fan. When the front door opens, air will be pulled in, charcoal filtered, and exhausted

outside of the unit. Thus ensuring no odors escapes out of the unit when the front door is opened.

Dear Mr. Speirs,

I have been a resident of Bernal Heights for over 19 years and I'm writing to you to protestthe permit request for 3158 MISSION STREET

It is my understanding that this applicant took it upon himself to begin selling without apermit and is advertising online with claims that the dispensary is open. According to Yelpand their own website, the applicant claims to be open and is currently delivering.

We already have 2 medical cannibus dispensaries located approximately 2-3 blocks from

each other at 33 29th Street and 3139 Mission Street. I believe the neighborhood is wellserved. I strongly agree with legal sale of cannibus and access to it for those in need. But Ido not believe there is need for yet another medical cannibus dispensary in such closeproximity.

I am especially opposed as this one has exhibited behavior that doesn't respect the law likeall the other businesses in our neighborhood.

I ask that you please deny this permit.

Thank you for your thoughtful decision on this matter

From: JC RaffertyTo: Speirs, Jeffrey (CPC)Subject: MMD on Mission in BernalDate: Sunday, January 08, 2017 8:19:17 PM

Mr. Speirs,There's a good size thread on NextDoor about the application for one or possible two new potdispensaries on Mission Street between Cesar Chavez and Cortland. In this stretch, we currently havetwo dispensaries on or just off Mission, or it sounds like three (as if a dispensary moves the permitremains with the building so a new on can just move in there? Really? Weird).

Anyway, I am concerned about the concentration of dispensaries in this stretch and urge the PlanningCommission to limit the number of dispensaries to a reasonable number. Three seems prettyreasonable to me. Five definitely less so (that's almost one per block!). There is no reason to create aghetto for marijuana or any other thing in a single area. Diversity is nice.

Please take these comments into consideration when reviewing the permit application for approval. Thanks for your time.

Best, JC
