One Security Plan will be accepted if two different uses are located on the same parcel. Traffic and parking study can also address both uses proposed on the same parcel. 32. A medical cannabis-related business would fall under BMC Sections and Applicant(s) will be required to provide signed acknowledgement of acceptance of the conditions of approval prior to the public hearing if an application is recommended for approval. However, while the standard conditions of approval are being provided ahead of time, there may be specialized conditions that are applicable to a particular site or application. 34. As stated, this sign is required to be installed 10 days prior to the public hearing at which these applications will be considered. The City will notify the applicants for any application that will be considered at the public hearing to be held in December 2017 when the sign for their application is available to be picked up, paid for, and installed. 35. The traffic and parking study must be prepared by a state licensed traffic engineer in accordance with Los Angeles County's Traffic Impact Analysis Report Guidelines (January 1997) and Institute of Transportation Engineers, Parking Generation, 4th Edition. 36. The Bellflower Municipal Code is available online ( and contains the parking requirements for residential and commercial zones. Applications submitted for cannabis permitting - which includes the Conditional Use Permit Application - must be complete, i.e., the applications must reflect the current physical condition of all properties, not an anticipated future condition of the property. These Q&As are intended to provide general guidance; any individual application will be processed on its qualities. Furthermore, the application requires that both existing and proposed conditions be identified on the Site Plan. Both conditions will be considered. A complete application needs to be submitted to be considered for approval. Complete applications will be based on compliance with the standards and requirements defined in the City's regulations. 37. As indicated in the application, a Fire Prevention and Suppression Plan is required with application submittal and needs to address all possible fire, hazardous material, and inhalation issues/threats. The City's fire regulations, as amended, are adopted by reference into the Bellflower Municipal Code which can viewed at the City's website.

24 Resolution No Exhibit A Page 5 of The City is requiring the traffic and parking impact study to be prepared by a licensed traffic engineer. The traffic engineer preparing the study should define an appropriate approach for determining the amount of trips generated by the type of medical cannabis-related uses proposed and present this approach in the study. For example, and not limitation, a traffic engineer could equate cannabis manufacturing based upon the ITE Manual definitions for manufacturing of like size; or, for dispensaries, use the ITE Manual definition for retail outlets specializing in herbal products. 39. An Operations Plan must be completed and submitted with the application. The Director of Public Safety will review the Operations Plan as part of the application review process. 40. Architectural Plans must be submitted with the application. These plans will be reviewed as part of the application review process. Plans do not need to be approved prior to submittal, though they can be submitted ahead of time at the option of the Applicant. 41. The Fire Suppression Plan that is required to be submitted with the application needs to be prepared by a currently licensed and active Fire Protection Engineer. The Fire Chief, or designee, will be reviewing components of the application. Review of the proposed facility by a Fire Protection Engineer prior to submittal of the application is not required. 42. Applicants will need to comply any applicable State requirements, including any that address track and trace of cannabis-related products. 43. The Live Scan background checks for all persons with an ownership interest in a medical cannabis-related business applying for business and conditional use permits will be conducted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. At the time of application submittal, a Live Scan Form and information on applying for Live Scan review with the Sheriff's Department will be provided. The Live Scan Form will be provided to the first 12 applicants. The Live Scan background check will be conducted concurrently with review of the application. 44. In the case that two uses are on one property the City would issue one Conditional Use Permit, but issue two separate business permits: one for each use. 45. The application available on the medical cannabis website is a combined application for the Business Permit and CUP for medical cannabis-related businesses and identifies all information required to be submitted with the application. An Environmental Information Form is not required for this application.

25 Resolution No Exhibit A Page 6 of Ordinance No (see BMC (P) requires surveillance video to be recorded for a minimum of 45 days. Section 6 of Resolution No authorizes the City Manager to utilize standard conditions of approval that are substantially similar to Exhibit A of Resolution No Condition No. 7 requires surveillance video to be kept for at least 90 days. This Condition No. 7 is consistent with Ordinance No. 1323; it is simply more time than the minimum required by BMC (P). Indeed, conditions of approval for individual permits may, depending on the circumstances of an individual application, require the permittee to keep surveillance video for a period longer than 90 days; that would be consistent both with Ordinance No and Resolution No The indemnification agreement is required with the application. The Applicant and its successors in interest must indemnify, protect, defend (with legal counsel reasonable acceptable to the City), and hold harmless, the City, and any agency or instrumentality thereof, and its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all liabilities, claims, actions, causes of action, proceedings, suits, damages, judgments, liens, levies, costs, and expenses of whatever nature, including reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements (collectively "Claims") arising out of or in any way relating to the project, any discretionary approvals granted by the City related to the development of the project or the environmental review conducted under the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq., for the project. If the City Attorney is required to enforce any conditions of approval, all costs, including attorney's fees, must be paid for by the Applicant. 48. The application needs to be submitted on behalf of the entity that would operate the business.
