CALIFORNIA ORGANICS GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY: California Organics will implement comprehensive nuisance mitigation equipment and policies to ensure that the neighbors are not inconvenienced or bothered by our operations. California Organics' cultivation will be managed so as to prevent becoming a nuisance or having an adverse impact on the surrounding community. Management and Ownership will be accountable to the community and willing to implement necessary changes to ensure good neighbor policies are upheld. California Organics' Good Neighbor Policy includes air quality and odor control measures, responsible waste management practices, noise reduction policies, and employee/visitor conduct rules. The neighborhood will also benefit from the increased security of the cultivation location. California Organics' security plans include round the clock surveillance and security, which will help maintain and increase the safety of the community. E. GREEN PRACTICES: California Organics incorporates Green practices in all areas of operations to mitigate the environmental impact of our commercial activities. California Organics' business practices reflect a combination of deference to the natural landscape of the region, sustainable elements in facility design, the latest sustainable equipment and technology and cultural practices that prioritize environmental consciousness. Green Building Design & Execution: Our design and construction plans comply with limitations on demolition waste, anticipate future use of solar panels to provide supplemental energy, utilize high efficiency appliances, implement transportation management strategies, and meet or exceed energy performance standards. California Organics emphasizes locally available materials to reduce environmental costs relating to transportation, incorporate green elements into interior and exterior design and provide flexibility through dynamic planning and design. Secure Storage is located in a portion of the facility that helps prevent extreme temperature fluctuations in the facility with the door to the operation only being opened and closed for employee and visitor access. Designing the facility as such reduces the burden placed on the HVAC system to attain stability of internal conditions in storage spaces and reduces electricity costs and fossil fuel use. This forward -thinking best management practice guarantees the highest quality and storage capacity possible for California Organics. Water Conservation: We limit water use by integrating drought tolerant landscaping and installing low - flow fixtures. Southern California's mission to reduce the burden on limited freshwater resources has compelled introduction of xeriscaping techniques. We integrate native drought tolerant species along with low impact irrigation methods to mitigate demands on water consumption. An automated deep -drip irrigation system and aesthetically pleasing mulch surfaces minimize evapotranspiration and enhances the visual design. Further water conservation measures include application of low -flow fixtures throughout the facility. Our facilities are outfitted with EPA designated "WaterSense" faucets and toilets, which use 20-30% less water than conventional systems. Alternative Modes of Transportation: Mitigating traffic congestion and reducing emissions relating to transportation is an essential civic duty for stakeholders in a central business district.
