When we next catch ourselves going on a bit too long on a topic – or, to put it bluntly ‘ranting’ – we should dare to ask ourselves where our behaviour is coming from. If you like our films, take a look at our shop (we ship worldwide): https://goo.gl/uuhhkq

MMJ Here in Mesa: Appeal of Board of Adjustment Hearing Continuance Goes To City Council

ADJ 17063 BA17-032 1842 W. Broadway Road and 1911 W. Broadway Road (District 3) Consider an appeal of a Zoning Administrator interpretation regarding the proximity of two medical marijuana dispensaries. 
The Zoning Administrator’s interpretation is that the two medical marijuana dispensaries were registered as approved locations on the same day, and for this reason both locations are considered legal but non-conforming uses. 
The applicant is appealing this interpretation. (PLN2017-00188)
Staff Planner: John Wesley
Staff Recommendation: Continuance to July 12, 2017

Board of Adjustment Staff Report 
CASE NUMBER:     BA17- 032 (PLN2017-00188)
STAFF PLANNER:  John D. Wesley, AICP – Planning Director
CITY’S LEGAL COUNSEL:  Mesa City Attorney’s Office - Mary Grace McNear, Esq.; Charlotte McDermott, Esq.
LOCATION/ADDRESS:  1842 and 1911 W. Broadway
COUNCIL DISTRICT:   3
APPELLANT:   Nova Dispensary 
APPELLANT’S LEGAL COUNSEL:  Jeffrey Blilie, Esq., Bues Gilbert  

REQUEST:  An appeal of a Zoning Administrator interpretation of the separation requirements for medical marijuana dispensaries located at 1842 W. Broadway and 1911 W. Broadway.  
The appeal of the interpretation raises, as one of its issues, whether the City should have approved VHG because of the code required separation between dispensaries and churches. 
The separation requirement in the code is 1,200 feet and there is a church less than 1,000 feet from the VHG facility. 
A text amendment has been drafted by staff to remove this separation requirement for churches located in non-residential zoning districts. 
This ordinance modification has been recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board and will be considered for action by the City Council on June 19.  If approved by the Council, this issue will become moot. 
For this reason, staff recommends continuance of this case to the July 12, 2017 Board meeting to allow Council to act on the proposed text amendment prior to consideration of this case.  The appellant has not objected to this continuance.

BLOGGER NOTE ABOUT THIS NEW INDUSTRY HERE IN ARIZONA

Here's the web site for Arizona's Marijuana Industry. After attending an educational conference here in Mesa, perhaps a better term is Cannabis, the scientific name for the genus.

There are many new research studies about the beneficial uses of Cannabis in different forms: edible, extracts and oils. There is a cannabinoid system in the human body.

Here to the right is a mapping of the already existing medical marijuana dispensaries here in Arizona uploaded from the industry website https://azmarijuana.com/dispensaries/

What Happens Here In Mesa Doesn't Stay Here

 Not much attention in local media except for this blog, but many reports months later like this one on today       

Communicating With Intelligent Aliens: Mathematics Concepts May Be Most Translatable Language

Norman Byrd from http://www.inquisitr.com

When it comes to first contact with intelligent aliens, mathematics just might be a shared language that humans and said aliens could use to communicate with each other, according to some researchers.
Over 800 scientists attended a conference here in Mesa.

Establishing common ground to communicate with an intelligent extraterrestrial species may prove to be rather difficult, but some researchers, like the University of Arizona in Tucson Mathematics Department emeritus faculty member Carl DeVito, insist that mathematics is likely the only common set of concepts that will be understood by both humans and members of an alien civilization. In fact, DeVito outlined a proposed language based on, as Space reported, “plausibly universal scientific concepts” at an Astrobiology Science Conference 2017 back in late April in Mesa, Arizona.

DeVito noted that to establish communications, one had to first get the attention of another intelligent species. Designing a way to signal other intelligences would “clearly” be a sign of intelligence in itself, he posited. DeVito detailed his ideas in his 2014 book, Science, SETI, and Mathematics.
“The concept of first attracting attention and then displaying meaning is, perhaps, the best way to solve the problem,” De “Maybe extraterrestrial intelligence will have similar ideas and thereby make themselves known to us.”

But afterward, ground rules to effect a conveyance of ideas would have to be established. That, he said, would likely first be done through sharing a system of measurements (such as the gram, the calorie, the degree (Kelvin), and units of pressure). The measurements and their import would be shared only if four basic assumptions exist between the two civilizations: an understanding of basic arithmetic, a knowledge of chemical elements and the periodic table, an understanding of the states of matter, and a basic knowledge of chemistry and the ability to perform chemical calculations. It is only then, after the two civilizations have established a mutual understanding of measurements, that they will be able to exchange precise, scientific information. . .

One of the foreseeable problems, however, is the possibility that an alien civilization will have a different geometry than humans. If so, its laws of motion would be relegated to following the laws with which its geometry was formulated, making those laws very different from ours.

“The mathematics of motion is differential calculus. Can we assume that an alien race shares this with us? Differential and integral calculus are so fundamental in so many areas of science that it is hard to imagine a science without them,” DeVito explained. “But this is, perhaps, a human bias.”
Another potential problem would be if the alien civilization used a non-Euclidean geometry.

“We, of course, can’t know, but we must be aware that the physics of an alien race, even in a fundamental area like mechanics, might differ in subtle but important ways from our own.”

The most difficult problem, DeVito suggests, will be transitioning from mathematical concepts to a discussion of other aspects of human civilization and, at the same time, the alien civilization. He said that a cross-cultural researcher must play an integral role in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Regardless, humans will want to put their best face forward when achieving first contact with an alien civilization.
At present, there are several programs ongoing in the search for alien intelligence, including the passive listening being done by the decades-old SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute and Breakthrough Listen (and others) and the more proactive signaling being devised by METI (Messaging to Extraterrestrial Intelligence) International and the Alpha Centauri probes proposed by Breakthrough Starshot.

To date, there has been no definitive communication received by an alien civilization, although the “Wow!” Signal detected in 1977 is often considered by some as a possible alien message. However, although it cannot be ruled out that the signal is alien in origin (per The Inquisitr) the signal has never been repeated and cannot be confirmed as artificial.

Guess Who? A "Private" Canadian Investor Jumps Into the Yet-To-Be Re-Vitalized Fiesta Mall

Sage Luxury Condominiums In Mesa

Eddie Chang

Bulk condo deals are a little unusual these days, but they still occur occasionally. 

Recently, a Canadian private investor sold 86 of the 96 total units in Sage Luxury Condominums in Mesa to a private investor from Arizona for $8.5M, or about $98,800/unit. The three-story property is on about four acres.

"Sage is located to benefit from the massive redevelopment set to occur at Fiesta Mall,"
ABI Multifamily partner Eddie Chang said.
Chang, along with ABI partner Doug Lazovick, brokered the property.
"The buyer was seeking a property in a solid-performing submarket with potential for increased rents via ongoing property upgrades."

According to Lazovick, the seller acquired the property in 2010 at the absolute bottom of the market. 
Few of the units had sold, so the rest were rented.

"The seller implemented a renovation and repositioning plan that created substantial value," he said.
