City of San Leandro <br />Meeting Date: July 17, 2017 <br />Oral/Discussion Item <br />Agenda Section:File Number:17-428 ACTION ITEMS <br />Agenda Number:10.B. <br />TO:City Council <br />FROM:Chris Zapata <br />City Manager <br />BY:Jeff Kay <br />Assistant City Manager <br />FINANCE REVIEW:Not Applicable <br />TITLE:City Council Review of the Davis Street Wellness Center Dispensary Permit <br />BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS <br />On July 18th, 2016, pursuant to City of San Leandro Municipal Code section 4-33-200(c), the <br />City Council awarded the City’s second medical cannabis dispensary permit to the Davis <br />Street Wellness Center. During the approval of the operating permit, the City Council imposed <br />a condition of approval that if the applicant does not receive a Conditional Use Permit within <br />12 months from the date of the award of the dispensary operating permit, then the City <br />Council could review the dispensary operating permit. Prior to imposing that condition of <br />approval, the applicant was asked during the July 18th City Council meeting whether it was <br />amenable to the condition. The applicant stated publicly that it was. <br />Approximately nine months after City Council approval of the operating permit, on March 20, <br />2017, the applicant submitted its application for a Conditional Use Permit to the Community <br />Development Department. Community Development staff worked collaboratively with the <br />applicant and its agents and representatives to determine whether the application could be <br />deemed complete, and analyzed the proposed project’s conformity with relevant zoning code <br />provisions. <br />On June 19, 2017, the applicant was notified that its Conditional Use Permit application was <br />scheduled for a hearing before the Board of Zoning Adjustments on July 6, 2017. The <br />applicant was also notified that staff would recommend that the Board of Zoning Adjustments <br />deny approval of the application because staff was unable to make the necessary findings for <br />approval. On June 21, 2017, the applicant’s attorney submitted to the Community <br />Development Department a request to postpone the hearing to September 7, 2017, so that <br />the applicant could have additional time to meet with City staff in order to discuss the <br />application in greater detail. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/11/2017 <br />697
