ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 28th day of January, 2020, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all

remaining issues. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:

Should this Court grant allocatur in this case of first impression and of substantial public importance and reverse the Commonwealth Court’s opinion below because the opinion fails to protect building security in the valuable medical marijuana industry, does not create a workable standard for dealing with iterative redactions in the absence of statutory guidance, and fails to provide a standard for dealing with similarly situated applicants who achieved varying degrees of success on the same record?
