Re: 810 N. College Avenue
Retail Marijuana Store and Cultivation Facility
STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES
Gvil Engineering
Surveying
Water Resources Management
Water & Wastewater Engineering
Construction Management
Environmental Sciences
The proposed project will expand an existing medical marijuana facility for use as a retail marijuana store. The current
building, which has previously been expanded multiple times, is approximately 2,300 square feet. The previous
expansions were not planned very well and have created an inconsistent space throughout the building. The objective
is to unify the space and upgrade the building materials for an aesthetically appealing facade, which will be
complimented by a strong and upgraded interior. The intent of the proposed improvements is to bring all concerns up
to code for longevity of the property. The project will add approximately 2,500 square feet to the building. This will
include removing one of the previous additions, which will help create consistency in the space.
This expansion will also help to accommodate a high traffic facility that allows patrons to move in and out of it with
ease. It is expected that there will be up to 50 people in the building at any given time with no congestion. The facility
has been designed to accommodate this type of traffic and sustain it effortlessly.
Additionally, the heating/cooling, electrical and plumbing systems will be updated to create a world class facility
providing comfort for the customers. A state of the art negative pressure ventilation system will be installed, which will
help to ensure that all odors are captured and destroyed prior to discharge. Landscape and flat work will also be
upgraded for accessibility and beautification of the area. As a result of this project, the overall area will be enhanced so
that the surrounding sites and City can be proud of this expansion and the revenue increase that will come with it by
approving this addition.
The property at 810 N. College Avenue is currently zoned as Commercial Service with a Medical Marijuana Land Use.
Forthe proposed project, the zoning will remain as Commercial Service with a Medical and Retail Marijuana Land Use.
The parcel will be platted as part of the Project Development Plan.
TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
A Traffic Impact Analysis is not required for this project. The proposed expansion was planned for approximately 50
people (employees and customers) in the building at any given time. There will be 5-10 employees on site depending
on the time and day. It is anticipated that there will be approximately 100-150 vehicles per day entering the property
with some additional pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
