The meeting included detailed discussions on the financial and logistical aspects of the Jackson Square project and concluded with a motion to adjourn passed unanimously.
Um resolution number 25-646. It's a resolution providing local support for Vox Farms Incorporated to operate a class one cultivator cannabis business at 80 Harrison Avenue. I was gonna ask about Ron, you know, I like Ron. He's done a fantastic job, but is the cannabis control board meeting anymore? Or and if they aren't, can we get them meeting? We're actually gonna start meeting in November. Okay. All right, so this is uh timely, it's ripe. Yes. Thank you. Next will be item number 10.25, resolution 25-650. It's an amended resolution providing local support for cream of the pot LLC to operate a class five retail cannabis business. It's it's a change of address moving from 397 community avenue to 41 Marin Boulevard. So with the change of address, did it did they have to go back through the process? Did they go back through planning and go back through the board? Or is this simply an amendment? It's an it's an amendment because the address they're moving to was previously approved. It's just that applicant abandoned the location. So if in the instance where they're moving to uh an area that haven't already been approved, they would have to go through the whole process over, right? Yes. Okay. Now this cannabis stuff is really nerve wrecking for me. So I know people are going to say that they were waiting to go in that area. Right. So do individuals who have prior approvals in other locations become prioritized from people who's waiting in the pipeline. No. Because you're saying that at one point someone else was here. Well, someone was supposed to occupy that space, right? And they never did. They didn't, they had the lease. They didn't, they're not pulling their cannabis application, they're just pulling the location. No, no, no. Once they find a new location, they'll have to go back in front of the CCP. The downtown address is was what's going on with those folks that was originally down there? I'm not sure why they pulled the application or decided not to move forward, but they're just looking for a different location. Maybe it was the rent that they're paying to hold the space. Okay, so so that's what I'm saying. So being that these people that's already approved was at another location, then they get wind that hey, these people may not be using this, so let's apply to remove our application from point A to point B, right? What I'm asking is are those individuals who already have approval, are they prioritized in front of the people that were waiting? Because people were waiting because the issue of location is it too close. Is the issue of capping in certain areas? We've went through all that. So now we're allowing the applicant to move from one spot to another. So I just want to get clarity. If I don't think that would apply for this application because it's on communal avenue where there's an existing pending application that's has all the CCB approvals only a few hundred feet away. So I think this is actually helping with the distance. Just sorry, just this I guess my concern is so the company that's abandoning their space is still keeping their license. Correct. So what they're saying is we know at some point in the future we're gonna find a new space and then we'll come back to the C C B. Correct.
