Statement of CompHance with Special Use St<tndard?i

Applicant/ FloraMedex, LLC (Applicant"), respectfully requests that the Village of

Elmwood Park Plan/ Zoning Commission {"PZ") make die following written findings of fact

and sliall transmit same together with its recommendation to the Village of EImwood Park

President and Board of Trustees ( Board ) for final action/ and states as follows:

d. Wlwrc a-pplicaUe, is necessary for the public convenience at that location

The site is situated among retail and other commercial uses along the Grand

Avenue corridor, A retail sale-only dispensary is compatible with the other

businesses located in the surrounding area. The traffic generated by the facility is

consistent with other retail uses, and the site is already designed for a high-

customer h-affic use. FloraMedex expects the dxspensaty will be a regional draw,

bringing people to the Village and its Grand Avenue corridor/ thus benefiting the

other uses in the vicinity of the facility.

b. Js so designed^ located ami proposed to be operaied that the public health, safety and welfare

will be protected

The facility will be operated in accordance with State and Village regulations and

will be subject to State licensing throughout its operation. FloraMedex is an

experienced dispensary operator and it will implement operation systems and

security measures that; will ensure the facility will be operated in a safe and

appropriate manner. No on"site consumption of cannabis is permitted at the

facility,

The site location in the Grand Avenue corridor is ideal for a dispensary use. The

site is situated among other the commercial uses that are prevalent along the

Grand Avenue corridor. The proposed dlspensary is a reiail-only use which is

compatible with the other retail and commercial uses in the vicinity of the site.

The proposed dispensary is also consistent with the Village s Comprehensive

.1-

Ptan/ which envisions "indush'ial mixed use at this location. There are other

mixed uses to the east of the site/ which include commercial and residential uses.

The site conforms to the setbacks requirements of the State law and the Village's

Zoning Otdinance from schools.

Utilities, access roads/ drainage and other necessary facilities already exist at the

site. No additional improvements are needed for these facilities.

Both ingtess and egress alteady exist at the site. Theire is enough ingress and

egress for customers of the dispensary. The h-affic generated by the dispensary

will not create undue congestion in the public sheets/ and it will be consistent

with h-affic geneirated by other retail uses. Accordingly, the facility will not be a

detriment to public health, safety, and welfare.

c. Will not cmse substtwtwl injury to the vulife of other property m the neighborhood in which

itis to belocated.

As the retail use of the dispensaty is consistent with other existing uses in the

vicinity/ property values within the neighborhood will not be negatively affected.

The facility will be regulated by the State of Illinois/ and it will be required to

operate in accordance with the stringent regulations created for dispensary uses.

The dispensary use is compatible with, and outwardly indistinguishable from/ the

other retail and commetcial uses in the vicinity of tihe site. The Villages

Comprehensive Plan envisions an "Industrial Mixed-Use" which is consistent

with the proposed use. The dispensary is expected to draw customers from a large

area, thus bringing people to the Villagers Grand Avenue corridor. Accordingly,

the property values of neighboring properties will not be negatively affected.

d. Such special use shall confonn tn the applicable regulations of the distnct w wliich it is to he

located.

The application for the special use demonstrates that the requirements of the

applicable the C-l General Commercial Zoning Uisttict; are satisfied. ]n addition,

the site satisfies the Villagers setback requirements from school uses.

WHEREFORE, Applicant, FIoraMedex, LLC/ respectfully requests that the PZ make the

dforementionect written findings of fact and shall transmit same together with its

recommendation to the Board for final action.
