buildings where commercial cannabis is cultivated,. manufactured, stored,
processed, tested, distributed, and handled will provide increased security
for the site and the materials and products stored, tested, cultivated, and
manufactured, and distributed in the facilities.
b. A video surveillance system will be installed to monitor all exterior areas of
the properties, all site and buildings entrances and exits, and all interior
spaces of the buildings, thereby providing additional security for the entire
properties.
c. The facilities will not be open to the general public and no direct sales or
product distribution will be made to the general public.
d. The development agreements include provisions for public outreach and
education programs to promote the public welfare and operational and
security plans to ensure the facility is operated in a safe and legal manner.
3. FINDING: That the development agreements will promote the orderly
development of property and the preservation of property values.

vacant and underutilized commercial sites.
