For this reason, AMC has focused its efforts to date on identifying and securing a proposed site located in a light industrial neighborhood with ready highway proximity. It also proposes to site its cultivation and dispensary operations under the same roof to ensure an airtight chain of custody and the most secure operation possible, and to minimize the need for transportation of marijuana within the municipality. AMC is confident this approach will minimize potential conflicts with residential neighborhoods, downtown areas and school, religious and similar uses. Inasmuch as AMC is unaware of any zoning statewide that expressly permits n ATC use, we anticipate AMC (and indeed all applicants) will need to secure either rezoning ot use variances in addition to the ‘endorsement of the municipal governing body. AMC recognizes thet elected officials, law enforcement and the general public will need to have comfort with the selected location. They will also need reassurance the ATC will be operated in a sound manner pursuant to a well-developed operational and security plan by experienced persons who understand the municipality and its local concerns and experiences. ‘As a result, AMC is undertaking a multipronged approach to community relations and input. AMC has retained a team of preeminent community relations and land use professionals to secure the support of officials, opinion leaders, and local organizations for its proposed site. AMC is also in the process of identifying and retaining well regarded retired law enforcement officials from the county and municipality levels to support its efforts. The AMC security and compliance team is led by experienced former federal law enforcement professionals; AMC will add state, county and/or local law enforcement professionals as appropriate to cither provide security services directly at the ATC, or to consult with AMC’s security team regarding localized measures and security threats. AMC firmly believes that it ‘must ensure the integrity of AMC’s program and the exclusion of undesirable individuals from the ATC site to secure the formal municipal support required by the Department’s regulations. AMC has commenced the process of identifying and engaging with key individuals and stakeholder groups on these issues for this location, and those efforts are described below. Given the compressed timeframes for preparing this application, AMC anticipates augmenting its application with further information based on upcoming meetings with these stakeholders. Measure 1 ‘The Department’s proposed regulations require an expression of municipal support for siting an ATC within its boundaries. To this end, AMC and its community relations team are in the process of meeting with the Mayor, police chief and/or director, and key members of the governing body, including relevant district representatives. We are also in the process of meeting with the relevant legislative leaders to ensure their support for the ATC initiative. The goal of these meetings will be to brief them on AMC’s proposal, discuss applicable security and zoning matters, and to solicit and respond to any concems about the proposed siting. (02339053) 6 AMC anticipates further detailed meetings with the police chief and law enforcement leadership in coming weeks to identify and address any perceived security concems, and to identify experienced local candidates to augment AMC’s site security team. AMC will seek candidates with first hand knowledge of local criminal and otherwise undesirable elements to ensure the community is comfortable that those elements will not be attracted to the ATC site or its operations. AMC will obtain approval from governing body and relevant land use board(s) for the siting through a well-thought out approach starting with the community. AMC’s community engagement and land use team, Hill Wallack LLP and Government Process Solutions LLC, have been selected based on their long track record of siting socially necessary or potentially undesirable uses ~ such as affordable housing, drug treatment centers, juvenile detention and rehabilitation facilities, prisoner reentry programs, social services ‘facilities, medical and pharmaceutical rescarch/manufacturing facilities - and even more unpopular uses — such as gambling and adult entertainment facilities -- throughout all three regions of New Jersey. ‘The AMC team first will generate community support for its site in the manner described below. ‘This grassroots community support will embolden or persuade elected and appointed officials to support the ATC. While the inherently beneficial nature of an ATC will assist in obtaining requisite use variances, AMC will seek outright rezoning wherever feasible as the most expeditious route providing the soundest legal footing for its operations by eliminating lengthy appeals of variance relief by local or competitive objectors. Through this thorough and comprehensive approach, AMC believes it will obtain the municipal endorsement and requisite land use approvals for this site as expeditiously as possible. Measure 2 AMC is convinced the key to securing municipal approvals starts with community support for its efforts. In short, if the community wants it, municipal officials will support it. AMC will start by identifying local patient support groups, and especially patients within the municipality, who will be most directly benefited by a nearby ATC. AMC will work with these groups and individuals to generate interest, positive media and support for the ATC by other local institutions and leaders including medical providers, hospitals, and researchers, AMC will meet individually with specific bodies and groups who will be interested in the ATC’s site or operation, including school board, PTA, DARE and local religious leaders to solicit their support and input. After incorporating initial input from electeds, law enforcement and key constituencies into this proposal, AMC will provide the public with clear and accurate information detailing its proposal. AMC anticipates creating a website or partnering with media or advocacy websites to provide the public with objective, detailed information on its facility. AMC will sponsor at least one local public meeting in conjunction with its local supporters to provide the general public with information concerning the benefits of the ATC, the specifics of AMC’s proposal, and AMC’s proactive approach to the special concems posed (02339055) 7 by an ATC. It is ATC’s goal to have the mayor or other elected leadership co-sponsor and publicize this meeting to ensure the broadest participation possible. As noted elsewhere, AMC has selected its site because of its location well away from schools, daycare centers and parks, as well as commercial districts. As well, the site has easy proximity to major highways, minimizing local traffic and security impacts. AMC’s well- selected site will, we expect, alleviate the general public's concerns about siting the ATC at the selected location. Nevertheless, AMC recognizes the best approach is to provide the general public with timely and accurate information, and to be responsive to the concerns expressed by them and their representatives. Accordingly AMC requests the opportunity to augment this application as needed on the basis of community and municipal input received via the foregoing process, (02339053) 8 CRITERION 4 Dispensary Specific Considerations Measure 1 ‘See Appendix L for the applicant's plan for inventory, record keeping and security. Measure 2 See Appendix M for the applicant's proposed program for providing counseling and educational materials regarding methods of administration and research studies on the health effects of marijuana to registered qualifying patients and their registered primary caregivers. In 1987 Dr. Hajjar was awarded the prestigious award of Valentine's fellowship award in New York for DNA analysis of primary renal cell carcinoma, This research was done at NYU/Bellevue labs, at which time paraffanized tissues of renal cell cancer were deparafinized and analyzed though the histogram to evaluate the DNA ploidy of the specimens. His clinical research was centered on benign prostatic enlargement and prostate cancer. This culminated with the publication of an article in Joumal of Urology in 1998 for ambulatory treatment of prostate cancer. He was also the co-author on numerous clinical articles pertaining to Urology. Measure 3. See Appendix H for the applicant’s safety and security plan, Measure 4 Not applicable.
