Commonwealth Alternative Care, Inc. (“the applicant”) has appreciated the opportunity to work collaboratively with the City of Cambridge to locate a Registered Marijuana Dispensary (“RMD”) at 1385 Cambridge Street in Inman Square. Following the applicant’s Planning Board hearing on November 14, 2017, the applicant has collaborated with City staff and interested residents to address the concerns raised by the Board. Enclosed are revised versions of the RMD floor plan, renderings of the building facades, and updated elevations.

Viability and Vacancy of Sub-Tenant Suite

The applicant met with the City of Cambridge’s Economic Development Division of the Community Development Department on November 20, 2017. In response to the guidance provided by the Department and concerns raised by the Planning Board, the applicant has made the following changes to the plans for proposed subtenant suite:

1. Increased square footage of subtenant suite from 300 square feet to 380 squarefeet

2. Altered the proposed floorplan to maximize store frontage along CambridgeStreet by moving dispensary exit to Springfield Street

3. Relocated the subtenant entryway to ensure full accessibility4. Added blade signs to catch the attention of pedestrians along Cambridge Street5. Added window treatment signage to enhance visual experience of pedestrians

The applicant shares the desire of the Planning Board and Inman Square Neighborhood Association to ensure a low vacancy rate in the subtenant suite. As such, we have identified a permanent retail tenant that is affiliated with the applicant’s leadership to offer health and wellness products. The applicant is confident that this business concept can successfully operate in the proposed subtenant footprint. Similar health and wellness interior models are enclosed. This arrangement ensures that the applicant will operate under the suggested conditions set forth by the Inman Square Neighborhood Association.

Vibrancy of the Corporate Entryway

The enclosed renderings have been updated to more effectively illustrate the proposed design of the applicant’s corporate entrance. The glass entryway will ensure

Date: RE:

Planning Board City of Cambridge December 4, 2017 Revised Materials, PB331, 1385 Cambridge Street

that all art will be visible to passing pedestrians. At the time of this submission, the applicant had scheduled time to meet with the Cambridge Arts Council to discuss potential partnerships on December 6, 2017.

Accessibility

The enclosed floorplan has been revised to ensure all egress points are fully accessible.

RMD Floorplan

The enclosed floorplan has been modified to accommodate the expansion of the subtenant suite. Notable changes include:

1. Secure double-door exit passage leading to Springfield Street2. Consolidation of RMD sales floor

Little Folks Fellowship Nursery School

At the time of this submission, the applicant had attempted to reach out to the leadership of the Little Folks Fellowship Nursery School three (3) times via telephone and via registered letter on December 4, 2017.
