Table <br /> <br />Chair Collins opened the floor to Commissioner comments. <br /> <br />Chair Collins asked to clarify that the only reason the Planning Commission was reviewing this <br />case was because this was a cannabis use. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Reilly reported this was the case. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lindau asked what kind of internal security measures would be put in place for <br />the individual units. <br /> <br />Brandon Champeau, applicant, explained items would be stored within individual, secure units. <br />He reported the 52,000-foot vacant space would have to comply with any State Statute with <br />respect to internal security.
