Good Evening Mayor Valdivia and Members of City Council, In Reference to item 4
on the public agenda.
My name is Dilan Clark; I am the Owner/Operator of “NGH Health Clinic”. The
Medical Facility is licensed through the California Department of Public Health
(CDPH), and will look to administer medical cannabis to qualified patients that suffer
from, but not limited to: anxiety, cancer, chemotherapy side-effects, chronic pain,
fibromyalgia, glaucoma, gout, HIV-Aids, migraine-headaches.
The Medical Facility is uniquely located at 1053 N. D Street, Suite 16, San
Bernardino, CA, 92410. In reference to ordinance, MC - 5.10.025 city regulations
prohibit commercial cannabis activity if the location is within 600feet of “sensitive
establishments”.
I am contacting you this evening with the hope that City council may consider
integrating Medical Facilities as a category into the number of licenses in the City. In
support of this integration solution, there has been a petition formed that would serve
as written approval from sensitive establishments within 600feet of the Medical
Facility. The building has maintained a notable reputation as a Medical Facility in the
community; my promise to you…is that.. it.. will remain that way.
Paying It Forward
The Medical Facility’s mission is to be a helping pillar in the community by

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. <!--[endif]-->Community engagement/contributions
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4. <!--[endif]-->Maintaining a Trash-free environment within
the 600feet sensitive zone
As a new business in the community, our staff is committed to serving the people of
San Bernardino with a whole heart through diligent business operations and
municipal impact.
Mayor Valdivia, Members of Council, ultimately you have the authority to approve any
commercial cannabis business location in the City.
Amid the global pandemic, and the increase of both mental health and
