[Neighbors] Cannabis retail conditional use request

[Greg Weirs]

Neighbors,

The Board of the NHNA will soon be reviewing a request for a conditional
use to allow for cannabis retail within 600ft of another cannabis retail
location. Because cannabis retail has only recently been legalized by the
state, the NHNA has not heard neighbors' opinions on this topic and does
not have a policy for cases like these. We would like neighborhood input.
In particular, we would like to understand the neighborhood's views on the
density of cannabis retail locations along Central, from Girard to
Washington.

Here are some details about this case and the process.

>From the ZHE, the details of the request are:
VA-2022-00155 Project# PR-2019- 002179 Jana Quintero requests a conditional
use to allow for cannabis retail within 600 ft of another cannabis retail
location for Lot 6, Block 8, Mesa Grande Addn, located at 4012 Central Ave
SE, zoned MX-M [Section 14-16-4- 3(D)(35)(c)]

A facilitated meeting with the applicant was held on July 18th, and the
meeting report is attached. As part of the meeting, the NHNA proposed the
applicant could have an open house so people could understand the business.
The applicant has responded by offering a shop tour on August 5th.

As a reminder, the NHNA has no legal authority to approve or deny a
conditional use; that is the role of the Zoning Hearing Examiner (ZHE).
However, the NHNA does provide input on all ZHE requests that fall
within the NHNA's boundaries.

The applicant will present their request at the regular meeting of the NHNA
Board of Directors on August 10th.

You can send feedback by replying to this thread, emailing the Board
directly at theboard at nobhill-nm.com, or in person at the NHNA Board meeting
on August 10th.
