Document Description
The business will operate a cannabis microbusiness located at 8 light sky court, sacramento, CA 95828. The APN is 062-0150-026-0000. It will operate out of an existing 9300 SF building on a lot area of 26,530 SF. The cannabis activities consist of retail non-storefront, distribution, and infusion activities. On December 12, 2018, the Zoning Administrator approved a CUP to establish a cannabis dispensary use (delivery-only) within a 2,900-square-foot portion of the existing 9,300- square-foot building (Z18-034). This area was approved for four separate delivery-dispensary operators, with four separate loading areas and 575 feet of common areas. This project also included Site Plan and Design Review (SPDR) for minor exterior renovations. This was for the southwest (rear) side of the building. The remaining tenant spaces were not approved for cannabis uses at time of approval. On May 1, 2019, the Zoning Administrator approved a CUP to establish a cannabis production use within a 6,470-square-foot portion of the existing 9,300-square-foot building (Z18-163). This approval utilized the remaining tenant spaces on the northeast side of the building. The cannabis production use was approved to consist of 2,000 square feet of cannabis manufacturing (non-volatile) and 4,470 square feet of cannabis distribution services. The cannabis uses were approved for 70 square feet more than the stated 9,300-square-foot building size, due to the inclusion of an outdoor loading area for one of the delivery-only dispensaries. The table below specifies the cannabis production and cannabis dispensary square footages for each separate previously approved entitlement and the overall total size. The applicant is requesting to modify both previously approved cannabis CUP’s for the dispensary (prior approval Z18-034) and the production use (prior approval Z18-163). The applicant proposes to utilize a 620-square-foot portion of the 300 Richards Boulevard, Sacramento, CA 95811. Z23-094 Page 3 of 7 previously approved 2,900-square-foot delivery-only dispensary section of the building. The area will be remodeled to retain a delivery-dispensary use while converting 195 square feet to cannabis production. The proposed cannabis production will include 145 square feet of distribution and 50 square feet for non-volatile manufacturing.
