On April S, 2005 members of the Anaheim Police Department met with the Property <br />'~ Management Company, owners and representatives from the businesses at 421 N. Brookhurst <br />Street to discuss their concerns. The main issue was the safety for employees of businesses near <br />"420 Primary Caregivers." Many businesses believed they too will become victims of a robbery <br />or shooting, based on the previous robbery. Patrons were also scared to use the public restrooms <br />in the complex because of the perception that many customers at "420 Primary Caregivers" are <br />criminals not patients. Other issues concerning the patrons include use of marijuana in the <br />parking lot surrounding the complex, the strong marijuana odor in the ventilation system, and <br />continued interruption of neighboring businesses by "420 Primary Caregivers" customers. <br />Many businesses believed they were losing their own clients based on the clientele of "420 <br />Primary Caregivers" loitering in the courtyard and parking area at the complex. <br />39. Two businesses terminated their lease at the property and moved. A law office, <br />specializing in criminal defense, and a ten year occupant at the property, moved out of Anaheim <br />to another city citing, "marijuana smoke has inundated [their office] ... and they can no longer <br />continue to provide a safe, professional location for ... clients and employees." A healthcare <br />business moved after six years, citing their business is repeatedly interrupted and mistaken <br />multiple times each day for "the store that has the marijuana." The owner "fears he or his <br />employee may be shot if they are robbed by mistake and the suspects do not believe they do not <br />have marijuana." The property manager indicated at least five other businesses have inquired <br />about terminating their leases for reasons related to "420 Primary Caregivers." Both businesses <br />that left the development indicated their moving expenses were costly, but felt it was the only <br />acceptable alternative. <br />40. "420 Primary Caregivers" is operating in close proximity to Brookhurst Junior High <br />School, Juliette Low Elementary School, the Brookhurst Community Center, Brookhurst Park, <br />Tiger Woods Learning Center, Dad Miller Golf Course and a day care center. Also nearby are <br />Savanna, Gilbert-East, Fairmont and Servite High Schools and Melbourne Gauer Elementary <br />School. <br />41.
