RE:
Mindset Dispensary
370 S. Riverside Avenue
Micci Weiss (the “Applicant”) and Kussa Corp (“Owner”) are seeking a change of use to a Cannabis Shop,
which requires a Minor Site Plan. The applicant is proposing to renovate the interior of the building. The
property is located at 370 S. Riverside Avenue, Section Block and Lot 79.13-1-70 (“Project Site”) and is
located in the C-2, or General Commercial zoning district.
GENERAL AND PROCEDURAL COMMENTS
1. Site Plan Approval. This application requires Minor Site Plan approval by the Planning Board
per Section 230-67(B)(4) of the Zoning chapter.
2. SEQR. This application is categorized as a Type II action under SEQR. No further action is
required.
SITE PLAN COMMENTS
1. Facility Operations. The Applicant is proposing operating hours of 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The
applicant should confirm for which days of the week these hours apply.
2. Security. The Applicant should provide details on the proposed security for the site, including
the exterior of the building and parking areas.

3.
Lighting. The applicant should describe whether any additional outdoor lighting is required beyond
what is already there. If so, the Planning Board may want to ask the Applicant to
provide details on the additional lighting.
4.
Trash. The Applicant should describe their plans for trash storage and removal.
5.
Loading Areas. Section 230-50 identifies the off-street loading requirements. While the code does not
require a loading space, the applicant should describe how deliveries will be made and how often they
will occur.
6.
Parking Spaces. The Applicant states that the retail access has “nine exclusive parking spaces
and anticipates 125 customers a day - half as many customers as the current use - who will
each spend an average of less than five (5) minutes in the store.”
a.
The July 2015 approved site plans require that five of the eleven spaces on the site be marked for
the apartment tenants, and the other six are for customers of the retail business. The Applicant
cannot have exclusive access to nine spaces. Will six parking spaces be adequate for the
operations? The Applicant should discuss their anticipated parking needs.
b.
How many employees will be on site at a time, and are any parking spots going to be reserved for
employees? The Planning Board may want the applicant to designate some spaces for employee
parking.
7.
Curbside or Delivery Services. The applicant should describe whether there will be an option for
curbside pickup or delivery. If so, the Planning Board may want to designate parking spaces to
highlight dedicated pick-up or delivery services.
8.
Grand Opening Plan. Since the retail site has access to six parking spaces, the initial launch of the
store may generate more interest and customers than once it is in operation. The Planning Board may
require the Applicant to submit a Grand Opening Plan as a condition of approval.
