Ordinance No. NS-XXX <br />Page 44 of 66 <br /> <br /> <br />(f) A collective shall comply with applicable provisions of the California Health and <br />Safety Code §§ 11362.5 through 11362.83, inclusive. <br />Sec. 40-104 Medical Marijuana Waitlist and Waitlist Termination. <br />(a) Pursuant to Ordinance No. NS-2864, adopted December 9, 2014, the Director of <br />Planning and Building shall prepare Cooperative/Collective registration application <br />forms and a related administrative policy. Each collective interested in operating <br />pursuant to this article may submit an application together with a non-refundable <br />processing fee in an amount established by the City Council. Within 60 days after the <br />adoption of Ordinance No. NS-2864, the Director shall stop accepting applications and <br />process all applications received. <br />(b) The Director or his or her designee shall have determined whether each application <br />demonstrates compliance with this article. Each application that is in compliance with <br />this article shall be placed on the "Qualified Registration Applicant List" and the <br />Director shall notify the applicant in writing that it is a "Qualified Registration <br />Applicant." <br />(c) Once all applications are processed, the Director shall have held an independent <br />selection process ("lottery") in an open and public location and select 20 applications. <br />The 20 applications chosen through the independent selection process (lottery) will <br />be placed on the "Regulatory Safety Permit ("RSP") Eligibility List." Each applicant on <br />the RSP Eligibility List may then choose to file an application for a RSP pursuant to <br />section 40-9. All applicants identified on the RSP Eligibility List following the February <br />5, 2015 independent selection process (lottery) shall be required to concurrently: (1) <br />File an application for an RSP and (2) Submit all required construction plans for plan <br />check by the City by March 30, 2023, subject to the requirements of this Chapter and <br />other applicable chapters of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, and be operational with <br />sustained business activity within 180 days of construction permit issuance. An <br />extension may be issued for a period of time as may be reasonably required to affect <br />upgrades, modifications, repairs, or other property issue mitigations as approved by <br />the Director of Planning and Building or his or her designee. Failure to satisfy these <br />requirements by that deadline will disqualify the applicant from the RSP Eligibility List <br />and the Waitlist described in subsection (d). Relocation is permitted pursuant to <br />Section 40-7 of this Chapter. <br />(d) Qualified Registration Applicants will appear on the "Qualified Registration Applicant <br />List" in the order that they are selected during the independent selection process <br />(lottery). This list is the Waitlist. The Waitlist will become active if (1) an applicant on <br />the RSP Eligibility List is disqualified from that List; (2) a location appearing on the <br />RSP Eligibility List becomes available; or (3) a location not appearing on the RSP <br />eligibility list becomes available. A Qualified Registration Applicant's ability to move <br />from the Waitlist to the RSP Eligibility List is determined by the applicant's proposed <br />medical marijuana collective location and the applicant's position on the Waitlist.
