Item: Consider Cannabis Product Retail License Renewals for Existing Lower-Potency Hemp
Edible Licensees
Council Action Requested:
Consider the attached resolution approving the renewal of Cannabis Product Retail Licenses for existing
lower-potency hemp edible licensees.
Background Information:
The City has received and reviewed renewal applications for Cannabis Product Retail Licenses for
existing lower-potency hemp edible licensees. Currently, this license allows for the sale of adult-use
cannabinoid or cannabis products containing 0.3% or less of THC.
At the December 2, 2024 City Council meeting, Council approved an ordinance amendment to City Code
Chapter 117 in anticipation of a forthcoming City registration process once the Office of Cannabis
Management (OCM) begins processing license applications. In the interim, the City is requiring existing
lower-potency hemp edible licensees to renew their license within sixty (60) days of ordinance adoption
with the understanding that a license from the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) must be obtained
in order to pursue registration with the City.
Approval and issuance of the license are contingent upon the submittal of all required documents.
Financial Impact:
The associated fees were paid at the time of the initial application.
