SUMMARY
On August 27, 2020, the Planning Commission considered approval of a Commission Use Permit to allow the establishment of a proposed retail storefront cannabis business, an Administrative Use Permit to allow a retail non-storefront (delivery only) cannabis business, and a Waiver to reduce the location requirement to separate commercial cannabis business from at least 300 feet to approximately 250 feet of a residential zone (Attachment A - Planning Commission Staff Report 8-27-2020). Following public testimony, the Planning Commission approved Motion 2020-08-27-0501 (by a vote of 4-3), directing staff to bring back a resolution with its articulated findings for denial of the project. The proposed resolution carries out the Planning Comission’s direction.
Additionally, a communication, dated September 8, 2020, was received from a representative of the applicant requesting the Planning Commission’s reconsideration of the August 27, 2020 denial of Application P20-0038. In order to resonsider the project, the Planning Commission would need to follow a specific process which would be explained if any Commissioner makes this request. See Attachment B - Communication.
