Application Number: PLN-2018-15059(CUP1M)

The project is a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the continued operation of a 1,500 square feet cannabis distribution/warehouse facility under an alternate business name in accordance with section 314-55.4 of Chapter 4 of Division I of Title III of the Commercial Cannabis Land Use Ordinance (CCLUO).

Because the application for this modification was received after June 8, 2018 when the CCLUO became effective, this application is required to be processed as a Conditional Use Permit. The distribution facility will continue to occupy approximately 1,500 square feet of an existing commercial building. The hours of operation for the distribution facility will be Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, closed Saturday and Sunday and all federally recognized holidays. The distribution facility will be used as a means to warehouse, store, and procure cannabis products primarily from sister company, Talking Trees Farms. The warehouse will serve as a storage space for cannabis products while pending state testing and/or serve as a storage facility for other permitted brands/farms that need product stored before being distributed. The distribution facility was originally approved as a part of the Satori Wellness CUP-16-170, SP-16-168.
