 Chirico said the Police Department has a plan that will address these concerns.

 Marshall responded that the drag racing is from members of a Chicago car club
 and stated that more than 30 citations were issued this past weekend.

 COMMENTS TO BE READ BY STAFF
 Adam Wood
 As there is no real difference between patrons of recreational cannabis
 dispensaries and those of liquor stores, and as marijuana use has significantly
 less harm to society than alcohol, in general, it is illogical and punitive to the
 industry to have any more restrictions on zoning than apply to a typical liquor
 store. The restrictions limit supply of potential storefronts, which increases
 rents charged to the dispensary tenants. It artificially constrains the demand for
 storefronts, removing the ability of landlords in other locations to compete for
 these tenants and benefit from the rent they'd pay. It requires citizens to travel
 farther than they'd like to for no good reason. It causes issues for the other
 owners and tenants in the industrial parks, where parking is typically limited,
 which happens at both the Romeoville and North Aurora locations. A dispensary
 is a retail operation and ought to be treated like any other similar operation,
 which is to say, the zoning should map closely with how a liquor store is
 restricted

 Mary R Duncan (Represent Household with three registered Voters)
 My husband and I, as Naperville residents and avid voters, respectfully ask the
 Naperville City Council to continue to vote NO on selling here. As a result of
 having close relatives in Colorado, and as a former resident of that state, I am
 well aware of the tragedy it has caused there: significant increases in addiction
 rehab centers ( talk to anyone in addiction counseling and they will tell you it IS a
 gateway drug), increased school drop-out rates of teenagers, problems with
 contaminated products ( the levels of this cannot be controlled), increased car
 accidents and deaths and more! This year we lost a close relative to lung
 cancer who openly admitted that he got it from Marijuana because he smoked it
 often and never smoked cigarettes. It was heartbreaking to hear his words
 when he knew he was dying, “ I know I did it to myself”. It is indeed a carcinogen
 as all cancer drs know. I have known heroin and cocaine addicts in high places
 who all began the horrors of their lives with marijuana. In Colorado, they have
 proven that they are spending $3 dollars to meet the govt costs from all the
 problems for every tax $ they take in from sales. The taxation line of reasoning
 is very short sighted and dangerous. Our police will have a very difficult time
 dealing with influenced drivers because there are no easy on-sight tests for
 them to determine impairment as they can with alcohol. I have heard from
 police personally on this. We have a huge drug problem already in Naperville
 and the prevalence of convenience will certainly add to it! Please keep
 Naperville a mentally and physically healthy place by voting NO. If we want to
 keep this the ”Number 1 City”, as it has been rated, this will most certainly ruin
 that as we take on more immense problems, negatively affecting our property
 values. Please take into account the unusual nature of this election with many of
 our seniors and others afraid to vote due to the Corona Virus. As close as the
 outcome was, it most certainly would have been a “NO” if the voting were not

 health restricted. Also, much of Naperville is in Will County and will county DID
 VOTE NO even with the many concerned voters who didn’t vote due to health
 fears. Thank you for continuing to vote NO! Concerned avid voters are watching
 this closely. I know your courage will be rewarded at the polls for your
 re-elections when people feel it’s safe for their health to be able to vote!
 Respectfully, Mary and Michael Duncan, 3208 Plantation CT., Naperville

 Renee Urbanski
 Dear City Council Members- Thank you for your service to our community. In
 the interest of our children, the strength of our community, and the value of our
 properties, I implore you to limit the number of these stores to zero in our
 community. I work in an area that has allowed recreational storefronts, and the
 lines of people that flock to these stores (lines that visibly wrap around
 buildings) send such poor messages to our children about what we value and
 hold dear. Furthermore, to place these stores in locations where families live in
 poverty is not only morally unforgivable, but the optics of that would continue to
 paint an elitist picture of Naperville (example- our wealthy sections of town have
 none of these storefronts to contend with but our poor sections have several
 sends a wrong and damaging message to the public). For those of you that
 voted yes for this proposition and feel these storefronts in some odd way will
 benefit our community, now is the time to have the courage to open them in
 your own backyard. Thank you for considering my comments, and I again I
 thank you for your service to Naperville.

 Naperville Trolley is a tenant of Carroll Construction, located at 1700 Quincy
 Avenue, and has been renting parking there in the gated lot for MANY years
 before Three C moved to Carroll Construction. Currently, they have taken the
 entire front parking area of the location, and it is usually two lines of many, many
 cars lined up to pick up their drugs, often over flowing onto Quincy Avenue as
 well. Naperville Trolley is being asked to find a new place to park our three
 Trolleys, so the pot store can have more room for their customers and their
 employees. Already, this location is too small for the many customers they
 have. Should the sales open up to anyone (vs medical only), a LOT more room
 will be needed. The location at 1700 Quincy Ave is already over utilized and I'm
 sure has more cars and customers than any business in town on any day.
 Naperville Trolley has been closed since March 7, 2020 and being asked to
 leave our gated parking lot in order to give the pot store more room is very
 disturbing. Kick us when we're down, at a time of zero business, so drug sales
 can thrive in Naperville, is just not right. Drugs in Naperville WIN!!! Happy 25th
 Anniversary Naperville Trolley, now go away...

 Jennifer Taylor
 Chirico and City Council, Please do not take my suggestions as support for
 having recreational marijuana stores. However, if you plan on moving forward
 with the stores and in order to prevent the community issues raised by Boulder,
 Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Officer Rebecca Bostrack, here are what I
 suggest you include in the new ordinance. (1) Naperville only allow
 dispensaries, not cultivation centers or growing facilities of any kind. (2) In the
 ordinance, the number of recreational marijuana dispensaries should be
 restricted to two. Before the referendum vote, those on City Council who

City of Naperville Page 4 Printed on 7/22/2020
City Council Meeting Minutes June 22, 2020

 supported the dispensaries often referenced two stores when speaking to the
 public about why we should have the recreational marijuana stores. Since
 residents were oftentimes told two stores when voting for the stores, that is the
 number that should be allowed. (3) The medical marijuana restrictions
 regarding zoning be followed, and actually increased so that no store can be
 within 1000 feet of a currently zoned residential property. In addition, even within
 shopping centers, these dispensaries should not be within 1000 feet of a store
 that caters solely to children such as The Ball Factory, Buy Buy Baby and Once
 Upon a Child. Parents should not feel forced to expose their children to the
 dispensaries when shopping at child oriented stores. (4) The ordinance should
 specifically not allow a dispensary in downtown Naperville nor in the small strip
 malls that appear in front of residential subdivisions. An example of such a
 prohibited strip mall is the one on Plainfield Naperville Road and Leverenz Road.
 (5) The ordinance should include supermajority language that requires a
 supermajority City Council member vote before the number of stores can be
 increased or any variance in zoning. Including the supermajority language
 recognizes that the referendum vote was close and that 47% of the population
 voted no. Even Mayor Chirico in an April 2020 City Council meeting
 acknowledged that this was not a “landslide by any means.” (6) A public hearing
 should be held for the location of each recreational marijuana store. Many
 residents who voted yes for the dispensaries may not be as supportive if one is
 to be located nearby where they live or work. Plus, as already pointed out, 47%
 of residents voted to ban all dispensaries. To pretend that these dispensaries
 are just like any other type of retail is unrealistic and a potential source of
 clashes. Planning and Zoning, City Council, and residents should be involved
 with each location choice. Thank you for your consideration. Jennifer Taylor

 My family and I are long-time residents of Naperville. The stated goal of
 Naperville’s Adult-Use Cannabis Facilities Online Survey was to gauge public
 opinion, for sharing with City Council as they consider zoning requirements for
 adult-use cannabis facilities, and to determine if there was support for new
 cannabis business types. Unfortunately, the Survey process was seriously
 flawed, resulting in Survey data that is also seriously flawed and unreliable. In its
 June 17th memo summarizing the Survey input received, City Management
 highlights the key Survey flaws. First, the City states that the Survey was not
 restricted to Naperville residents/property owners. Rather, the Survey was open
 to anyone, anywhere. Residency in Naperville was not a requirement. Hence,
 survey results include opinions of non-Naperville residents with no vested
 interest in our City, and opinions of those, such as the commercial cannabis
 industry which now wants access to Naperville to profit from Naperville
 residents. The odd Survey results of “Support” for having Cultivation Centers
 [55%], Craft Growers [58%], Processing Organizations [56%], Transporting
 Organizations [56%], and Infuser Organizations [56%] in Naperville would, if
 allowed, turn Naperville into the recreational cannabis hub of Illinois. However,
 these type of responses appear to be from sophisticated, non-resident
 commercial entities who understand Illinois’ complex regulatory requirements
 for these new cannabis businesses. Second, the City states that while the
 Survey format cannot guarantee that only one response was submitted per
 person, the Survey was designed to permit one Survey response per IP
 address. Unfortunately, it is possible for one person to have multiple IP

City of Naperville Page 5 Printed on 7/22/2020
City Council Meeting Minutes June 22, 2020

 addresses. For example, a person responding to the Survey by their cellphone
 and personal computer generates two IP addresses; that same person
 accessing the Survey via different public computers, such as at a library,
 results in additional IP addresses for that same person. A person responding to
 the Survey using a Virtual private network (VPN), with numerous large servers
 around the world, can create multiple IP addresses. Finally, the City states that
 the Survey requested respondent to include, but did not require, their name and
 email. However, one in four Survey respondents did not provide their names.
 Why? In summary, the Survey process was seriously flawed, resulting in data
 that is seriously flawed and unreliable. If the City wants input from its residents
 to understand what they think about recreational cannabis zoning, the Survey
 should be redone and limited to responses from Naperville residents/property
 owners who will be impacted by and will have to live with the City’s recreational
 cannabis zoning decisions. Thank you.

 Bill Smith
 Where used “pot” means cannabis agricultural products, derivatives, and
 accompanying usage devices such as bongs and pipes. It further includes
 baked or other food products, candies, dough, frozen ingredients, pizza topping,
 etc. associated with the recreational use of this drug. Proper zoning is critical to
 the effective implementation and control of pot sales in Naperville; if ever
 allowed. These pot sales includes growing, distribution, retail, and wholesale
 facilities for both medicinal and recreational pot use. Now is the time to set up
 the zoning protection rules to meet potential future issues. The pdf pot map
 placed on the city website is very confusing. It is difficult to see the spots that
 these operations, if so approved, may be located. Why not have a multiple page
 PDF to indicate the current, excluded sites, potential sites, etc., and why so
 indicated by annotations on the maps in sufficient detail to make them usable?
 On Naper Boulevard, Ann Reid School is not indicated, nor is the daycare
 center at the Hobson and Naper Boulevard junction. These are pertinent as it
 may seem there is a plan to put a pot shop(s) in Market Meadows or Fox Run
 Centers. I oppose placement of any pot operations in these two centers. Zoning
 adopted for any new pot locations in the City should be zoned to require 360
 degree 24 hour 7 days a week surveillance by an independent off-premise
 contractor and require a 6 month backup of coverage footage. This might
 require the use of special taxation districts supported by the potential 3%
 special tax on these locations to have the district pay for its monitoring. This
 requirement for zoning does not appear contrary to state law. This is to be able
 to monitor the receipt and delivery of product in this mainly cash business and
 to assure more safety to owners and surrounding businesses or neighborhoods
 from violent crimes which may be accordingly perpetrated against these sites.
 These cameras would also be useful to review adherence to potential
 mandatory open transparency of this highly regulated business through the use
 of required Quarterly Certified Financial Reports to the City detailing business
 activity and financial verification necessary to support the collection of due
 taxes. This Quarterly Reporting issue will obviously need to be included in a final
 ordinance of implementation of pot sales. Little else may be effective to more
 accurately hold these cash business owners/operators accountable for taxes
 due. Restaurant and other cash businesses are not like pot facilities, but pot
 facilities are more akin the production of alcohol distillation processes, which
 require the use of bonded warehouses to collect taxes due. The pot product is

City of Naperville Page 6 Printed on 7/22/2020
City Council Meeting Minutes June 22, 2020

 somewhat generic in nature. Zoning must not impede accurate tax collection, if
 such zoning is not contrary to State Law. Zoning is a good tool to apply in the
 application of tax revenues. Pot facilities signage needs to be zoned differently
 than other businesses due to the medicinal use implication potentially involved
 under HIPPA, versus just for fun use. Pot business building code changes may
 be required to have additional fire suppression systems to curtail the increased
 threat of fire due to increased flammable contents and dust mitigation that may
 be associated with some of these pot facilities, especially when located
 adjacent to lower insurance rated businesses. Current pot medical distribution
 centers should not be zoned or allowed to be contiguous with any recreational
 pot facilities. Medicinal users may not wish to be affiliated with casual
 non-medicinal use purchasers, nor should be required to affiliate with these
 individuals. Equate your proposal for co-locations to having an Alcoholics
 Anonymous location beside a liquor store. Users may not want to use the same
 door or location. Co-locations might also allow for possible illegal shifting of pot
 products for medical use being taxed at a different rate than recreational pot.
 Co-locations allow for future potential tax collection problems if the rates and/or
 pot prices vary for the same pot product. Cash businesses do always not lend
 themselves to having to meet taxation guidelines. If citizens want pot facilities,
 then the City is bound to assure the proper collection of tax revenue and safety

 Keith Sheffer
 Good evening members of City Council, Understanding the scope of this
 workshop is a zoning discussion, I will spare you from my strong opinion on this
 matter other that saying I am opposed to the City of Naperville embracing the
 creation and promotion of marijuana stores. I simple do not see the cost /
 benefit. The decision of City Council to put this matter on the referendum was a
 good move. .And although I am not happy with the outcome of the referendum. I
 do respect the outcome in which 53% of the voters supported legalized
 recreational sales of marijuana in Naperville. Some would say “the people have
 spoken”. Others still question if the circumstances of the primary timing and the
 COVID-19 limited the ability to get a true representation of the residents of
 Naperville. Regardless, If we are to respect the vote of the people and proceed
 then we should also do so from a zoning perspective. If you look at the voting
 results for DuPage county and Will County the majority of the Naperville
 residents of Will county said NO to the legalized sales of marijuana. Again, I am
 opposed to opting in for either county but as I also said, I respect the
 referendum vote. I am asking this council to also respect the referendum vote.
 This referendum provides a clear image of a geographical region of the city that
 does not want Marijuana stores. To proceed in creating zoning locations for
 dispensaries in Will County would go against the vote of our citizens. Therefore,
 it is my request that the zoning should be limited to DuPage County. One
 additional comment I would like to make. I do quite a bit of world travel and I
 have seen several marijuana stores in a number of major European cities. In all
 cases, these stores have a disproportionate amount of “walk in” products that
 target the under21 age group. The business recipe is easy to follow. These
 stores do not need to market themselves to current users. These stores are
 looking for future customers. So from a zoning perspective it is important to
 know what the difference is between a “dispensary” and a “marijuana store”.
 Thanks you for allowing my words to be heard tonight. I am always amazed of
 the tremendous commitment and dedication of our City Council thank you for all

City of Naperville Page 7 Printed on 7/22/2020
City Council Meeting Minutes June 22, 2020

 that your do for our great city Keith Sheffer

 SPEAKER
 Dr. Nick Salamie spoke in favor of granting local businesses priority over
 out-of-state/area businesses.


D. PRESENTATION:

1. Provide direction on potential adult-use cannabis zoning ordinance components.

 Laff presented an overview of cannabis discussions to date including the 2019
 opt in/opt out deliberations, the recent referendum question and results, sales
 tax, different cannabis business types, and direction to staff to create zoning
 regulations for cannabis retailers.

 Council discussed the results of the referendum in DuPage and Will counties,
 day care and school-restricted areas, industrial zone locations, liquor code, and
 medical and recreational code requirements.

 Based on the map presented, Council discussed specific parcels around the
 city that would be eligible for businesses to locate, parking and how parking
 availability impacts potential locations, and anticipated parking variances.

 Laff explained that staff is collecting research regarding appropriate parking
 requirements for adult-use dispensaries and that the regulation will be included
 in the proposed zoning regulations to be presented to the Planning and Zoning
 Commission (PZC).

 Council discussed the potential for crime and the impact from the recent
 protests, sign code allowances, distance requirements, and defined state
 restrictions.

 Laff stated that if the existing medical cannabis dispensing restrictions are
 applied to adult-use dispensing facilities, there are a limited number of locations
 citywide in which such a facility could be located.

 DiSanto said there the state act does not require any separation distances
 between cannabis dispensaries and schools or residential; the existing
 separation restrictions in the code are local rules. Council noted that the
 existing separation requirement from day care establishments, which are now
 locating in traditional retail areas, to dispensaries should not be included in the
 new code.

 Council discussed imposing a cap, reserving a license for social equity
 applicants according to the state's definition, and the appropriateness of
 processing requests similarly to late night permits.

 Also discussed was the importance of locating businesses away from
 residential areas, how to hold businesses accountable, the appropriateness of
 hosting an open house on the topic, the impact of Phase 4, what other

City of Naperville Page 8 Printed on 7/22/2020
City Council Meeting Minutes June 22, 2020

 municipalities are doing, cannabis transportation services, and permitting
 dispensaries by right in the appropriate zoning classifications.

 DiSanto said municipalities can issue citations and report to the state.

 Laff stated that it is staff's preference to have one ordinance governing both
 medical and recreational cannabis businesses, that a recommendation in
 excess of current parking standards will be presented to PZC, and the
 upcoming PZC meeting schedule.

 Council discussed determining a formula which allows for maximum distance
 from residential while still allowing for a dispensary to open, upcoming
 development projects, the potential to add another PZC meeting in August, and
 when Council Chambers will be unavailable due to the planned audio/visual
 upgrade.

 By consensus Council directed staff to, 1) cap dispensaries at three, 2) not
 allow on-premises use or drive-thru's, 3) not allow for any other types of
 adult-use cannabis businesses, other than dispensaries, 4) determine a
 formula which allows for maximum distance from residential (0, 250, 1,000 feet
 increments) while still allowing for a dispensary to open, 5) provide revised
 maps directly to PZC and give to Council as an FYI only, and 6) present the
 draft text amendment to the PZC at their July 15, 2020 meeting (or in early
 August if July 15 is not feasible).
