Document Description
This proposal alms to align the City of San Diego's (City) regulations with those of the State of California (State) by extending the hours of operation for permitted cannabis outlets within the City by two hours per day. Currently, the City's regulations allow operating hours from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., which are more restrictive than tl1e hours permitted by the State.
