DEVLIN E-MaiI: DevlinfdiCouncilBaradel.com Telephone Extension: 3414 June 7, 2018 VIA HAND DELIVERY Office of Planning & Zoning Zoning Division 2664 Riva Road, P.O. Box 6675 Annapolis, Maryland Attn: Lori Rhodes Re: Letter of Explanation for Maryland Physician Partners, LLC Special Exception Application Our File No. : Dear Ms. Rhodes: The undersigned is counsel to Maryland Physician Partners, LLC. Maryland Physicians Partners, LLC was granted pre-approval status for a Medical Cannabis Dispensary located in Senatorial District 31 in December, Please accept this letter in support of the administrative application for special exception approval submitted on behalf of my clients who are seeking authorization to open a licensed dispensary of medical cannabis in a business complex at 7609 Energy Parkway, Baltimore, MD The property is zoned W2 and is located on Lot 9R of the Brandon Woods Business Park. Special exception approval is sought to utilize that portion of the building located at 7609 Energy Parkway known as Suite 901 for the medical cannabis dispensary use. Suite 901 is the second suite from the east end of the building and comprises approximately 1, 768 square feet and includes its own ingress and egress from the common parking lot adjacent to the building. As recited below, the application meets all of the requirements for special exception approval in the W2 district for a medical cannabis dispensary in a business complex. Being within the Brandon Woods Business Park, a large industrial area with multiple industrial uses, the subject location for the dispensary is substantially separated from residential properties, with limited access in and out of the Business Park. Special Exception The application meets all of the requirements of medical cannabis dispensary: to grant a special exception for a (1) The property is not located within 1, 000 feet of a dwelling or residentially zoned property, the lot line of a public or private school, or the lot line of real property owned by the Board of Education. 125 West Street, 4th Floor, Annapolis, Maryland T F CouncilBaradel. com

4 COUNCIL BAHAUEL Office of Planning and Zoning Page 2 June 7, 2018 (2) In light of the fact that the use is proposed for a business complex on industrial zoned property, vehicular access from an arterial road is not required. (3) "No Loitering" signs will be conspicuously posted in all parking areas. (4) The dispensary is not located within one mile of any other licensed premises of a licensed dispensary of medical cannabis. (5) The premises will not have any displays of medical cannabis visible to its customers or the general public. (6) The dispensary wilt not have an on-site physician for the purposes of issuing written certifications for medical cannabis. The proposed special exception meets all of the general standards of for special exception approval as follows: (1) The proposed medical cannabis dispensary will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare. The property is situated in a business complex with limited access and visibility. The dispensary will be designed to limit access within the facility to the medical cannabis product and will include a sophisticated security system. The dispensary will be operated in full conformity with all governmental requirements. The benefits of the availability of medical cannabis to the public is well-founded and confirmed by the State legislature and County Council in authorizing the use. (2) The dispensary will be compatible with the appropriate and orderly development of the district. The Subject Site is zoned W2, Light Industrial, and is part of the greater Brandon Woods Business Park. Limited to highly regulated medical cannabis products, the use is analogous to a pharmacy, albeit limited to a particular type of prescription medicine. (3) None of the operations of or related to the dispensary will create an objectionable level of noise, fumes, vibration, or light to nearby properties than other types of operations or uses permitted in the district, which include breweries, building materials storage, business complexes, commercial recreational facilities, contractor and construction shops and yards, commercial equipment sales, repair and storage, manufacturing uses, laboratories, and professional offices, to name a few. (4) The medical cannabis dispensary use at the subject location will not have any adverse effects above and beyond those inherently associated with the use. The subject property is within a business park comprised of multiple industrial uses. (5) The dispensary will not be in conflict with any existing or programmed public facility, public service, school or road. The property is served by public water and sewer.

5 COUNCIL BARADEL Office of Planning and Zoning Page 3 June 7, 2018 (6) The applicant will have the written recommendations and comments of the Health Department and Office of Planning and Zoning at the hearing. (7) Cannabis dispensary use at the subject location is consistent with the County General Development Plan which identifies the subject property and business park for industrial use. (8) There is a public need for this use. The passage of the State and County laws allowing medical cannabis to be grown, processed, and dispensed in Anne Arundel County is substantial evidence of a public need. Additionally, medical cannabis has been proven effective in treating the symptoms of many illnesses and diseases, including but not limited to cancer, Krohn's disease, Alzheimer's disease, glaucoma, and opioid addiction. There is no County-approved dispensary located in District 31 and the surrounding area. (9) The applicant meets the criteria for a medical cannabis dispensary in a business complex, as outlined in Anne Arundel County Code (10) The subject site is not located within the critical area. (11) The applicant can and will comply with the requirements of the Landscape Manual. For all the reasons stated above and to be presented at the hearing, all standards of Anne Arundel County Code and are met. We respectfully request that you recommend approval of the special exception application. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments you may have. Sincerely, Joseph F.
