Gary and neighbors,

Thanks for responding. I was asked for clarification.

Marijuana, pot, THC, CBD, and its other forms are used and abused like alcohol. Alcohol does have medicinal purposes in the hospital, but socially it is used differently. THC has some medicinal purposes, but not regulated as well as prescription drugs. It’s the wild west…

In my opinion, the stores selling THC, CBD, and other derivatives should have some community input similar to a liquor establishment or a store.

Also it would be nice for the neighborhood to have a variety of stores, restaurants. Recently the new establishments appear to be predominantly cbd dispensaries.

I appreciate the neighbors who have done the advocacy work for the problematic 7-11. I fear that substance abuse is evolving and taking on a different form.

Thanks, Craig, for your question.

We have excerpted language from the Integrated Development Ordinance related to Cannabis Retail and highlighted the parts that address the question.

When a business owner applies for a business license for a permissive use from Planning it is generally issued administratively.

Uses that are permissive are not subject to notification or coordination with neighborhood associations (NA’s).

When you see conditional use approval that means the request is heard publicly by the Zoning Hearing Examiner.

Upon application NA’s whose boundaries include the application address are informed and offered a meeting with the applicant. The NA and any individual then provide a position to the ZHE.

Nob Hill NA has not yet had notice of any conditional use requests.

And the small pharmacy at the Coal/Lead/Washington apex has drivers stopping in for a long, long stay while their prescriptions are filled.

I’ve noticed a proliferation of dispensaries along central. is there any way as a neighborhood association we can have input into how many and where?
