Review of the local license is an administrative review procedure not subject to the Planning Commission or City Council approval, and does not require a public hearing. The Applicant submitted their local license application on April 23, 2024. The local license cannabis package was distributed to city staff, including the Riverside County Fire department and Riverside County Sherriff's Office.

Based on Staff's review of the Local License cannabis package, the City approved Local License No. 24-0035, subject to conditions on June 24, 2024. While the local license cannabis package does not require Commission or Council approval, the information within it is very informative for the Commission and Council’s understanding of how this cannabis business will operate. The Local License is good for two (2) years and must be renewed prior to the expiration date of June 24, 2026. A copy of the approved Local License cannabis package is provided in Attachment E. Conditional Use Permit No. 24-0035: In accordance with Section 17.315.040 of the WMC, the proposal to establish a retail cannabis business within an approved 3,936 square-foot retail lease space within the C-P-S zone requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP).

In addition, the CUP Cannabis package includes interior floor plans, and detailed information about the Catt Road, LLC business model. A copy of the proposed CUP cannabis package is provided in Attachment A-Exhibit 2. Cannabis Use Exhibits: The exhibits reflected in Attachment C and D illustrate the interior and exterior “elevations” exhibits as well as the 100’ and 600’ buffer area maps exhibits. Public Email Comment Email Letter (Ms. Veronica Langworthy): Prior to the October 2, 2024 Commission meeting, staff received an email from Ms. Veronica Langworthy that was forwarded to the Commission (refer to Attachment H). The letter outlines several concerns itemized below. Staff has provided responses to each. 1) City staff and fire dept weighed in on the business but there does not appear to be law enforcement/sheriff dept report. 14

Response: This was an oversight on Staff’s part which lead to the request for a continuance. The Riverside Sheriff’s Office (RSO) has since reviewed the proposed cannabis package focusing on Chapters 5, 6, & 8 of the Local License cannabis package and Chapter 7 of the CUP cannabis package. These chapters describe the safety and security measures being proposed by the Applicant. The RSO (Captain Rayls) completed their review of these items and notified the planning department that the proposed safety and security are consistent with their policies and they have “cleared” this cannabis proposal. 2) Ms. Langworthy is requesting a formal report from sheriff’s dept. from May 2020 to present about public safety issues — increases in DUI, illegal grow, theft, battery, assault, etc. drug-related crimes. Response: It is Staff’s opinion that this information is unrelated to the specific retail cannabis CUP/DA being proposed as it’s a more of a “global/general” issue to be coordinated with the RSO. Staff does not recommend holding up the CUP/DA but will help coordinate this report with RSO and Ms. Langworthy. 3) Neighbors/commuters in proximity to Cake House West mention traffic incidents — the proposed location for Cake House East is at the I-15 / Clinton-Keith gateway to our city — an important corridor for emergency vehicles and commuters and shoppers. Response: Staff is not in receipt of any complaints or incident reports about the Applicant’s current operations at the Cake House on CKR/Palomar. The proposed cannabis use will be part of a Planning Commission approved retail center (Catt Crossings) which is conditioned to provide full on-site and off-site public street improvements. The Riverside County Fire Department reviewed the Catt Crossings retail center and found it in compliance with all fire standards and requirements. In addition, they have reviewed the proposed retail cannabis use and determined it to be in compliance. 4) Although not a park, there is a sensitive environmental mitigation area within 600 feet of the site. Response: Comment noted but not applicable to the proposed CUP/DA. 5) How many cannabis businesses already are established in the city? Response: The City Council has approved four (4) retail cannabis businesses (Culture Club, Stiizzy, Cake House and Element 7 (now Buzz Cannabis). Culture Club has recently ceased their operations so the city has not renewed their local license. Buzz Cannabis is going through the Tenant Improvement (TI) process and may open their business shortly after the new year. 6) how many properties have been inquired about? Response: Staff has received numerous calls regarding retail cannabis proposals since 2020 when Ordinance No. 187 & 188 were adopted. We do not keep accounting of how many calls we receive. 7) city said that to fund the District Attorney’s Task Force, the city projected 10 businesses would be needed for that purpose? How is over tax
