proposed adult care center, Wayne Manor, that is being considered for location in the
neighborhood adjacent to De Anza Elementary School; opined that the administrators of the
facility will have no control over patients, particularly if a patient becomes homeless due to
expulsion from the program; stated that it will bring down property values and cast a negative
shadow on Baldwin Park.

parents and neighbors in the De Anza School area when making a decision on the Wayne
Manor project; suggested that a special study be done to determine the effects on the
neighborhood should this facility be permitted to go forward.

the safety of the neighborhood at night should the facility be built in the neighborhood.

would ban medical marijuana delivery and cultivation in Baldwin Park; noted that the March 1st
deadline originally imposed by the State was made in error and the date for MERSA compliance

is shortsighted and fails to consider those with medical conditions; suggested that a Special
Permit be issued to those wishing to pursue medical marijuana enterprises.

and that funds are not being properly managed; expressed objection to the proposed location
for the Wayne Manor facility.
