Neighborhood Compatibility Plan
Introduction
As an organization we realize that when we begin operation, we will become a member of the
surrounding neighborhood and community. As such, we want to become a valuable and productive
member within the City of East Lansing. Safety for our employees and the surrounding community is of
utmost importance to our Company. With the presence of our facility, and implementation of our
business plans, we believe we will be compatible with the neighborhood and will help reduce crime in
the community.
Neighborhood Compatibility
The City of Fresno is understandably concerned about the impact of licensed facilities within its
neighborhoods. Our business will greatly support the community and the city in our mutual efforts to
ensure safety and security within the neighborhood we operate. We will provide an appealing addition
to East Lansing by maintaining excellent relationships within the community and organize functions to
minimize impacts on the neighborhood. Our team will reach out to neighboring businesses and establish
great rapport with them. We will utilize local and neighboring business for our business needs whenever
possible.
Aesthetic Compatibility
Our Company will maintain the integrity of the current location in order to prevent the facility from
causing any negative aesthetic on the neighborhood. Our goal is to make our location fit the City’s
aesthetical expectations and have beautiful curb appeal without drawing unneeded attention to the
facility. Our signage will be discrete and tasteful and will only contain designs approved by the City of
Fresno.
Operational Compatibility
Our team is focused on ensuring that our facility will not be a nuisance to the neighbors or negatively
impact the neighborhood. We will not allow any loitering. We will also adhere strictly to our hours of
operation in compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations.
Sidewalk Security
Noise Management
Our Company will use best efforts to avoid any noise pollution from the facility and immediate
surrounding areas. We will implement strict rules of the staff, patients, and visitors that are entering or
departing our facility. These rules include, but are not limited to:
• Restrict the volume of car stereos and/or portable sound systems while visiting the premises.
• Limiting the noise of any in-house background music that would play during business hours only.
• Warnings for unnecessary honking tire screeching, yelling or any other noise deemed disruptive,
unnecessary or a nuisance.
Because we are not proposing any type of cultivation at this location, we do not anticipate any other
noise issues that will affect the neighboring properties. In this sense, our facility will be very similar to
other retail businesses servicing the community.
Odor Management
All spaces within our facility that contain medical marijuana will be equipped with carbon scrubbing
filters. These filters are highly effective at eliminating odor that could be caused from the permeation of
medical marijuana. The filters will include a powerful fan that will pull the air of the room towards the
filter, pulling it through carbon (a known odor eliminator), and then reintroduced into the room
(scrubbing).
Discreteness
Although this will be a retail facility, we will not be taking the same approach as some of our
competitors. Our facility will not use symbols or signage that resembles marihuana leaves, green
crosses, or other similar symbols found in neighboring municipalities. The renderings found in previously
submitted plans will show that we are planning an upscale, modern and completely renovated facility.
There will be no neon lighting or other such attention-grabbing illuminations to advertise our facility,
other than our cityapproved signage containing our business name.
Hours of Operation
We will operate in accordance with all municipal ordinances, and shall be open for operation only during
the times stated on our submitted application.
Neighborhood Concerns
We always want to improve what we are doing as a Company and how we are doing it. This means we
are open to receiving feedback from anyone in the community. Our General Manager will maintain a
feedback drop box and will review all feedback left from community members on a weekly basis. The
feedback will be discussed at team meetings and we will endeavor to implement sound strategies to
respond to the feedback as well as develop new ways to meet our communities needs
