Change to Adult Use: At the December 12, 2018 Council meeting, City Council repealed and reenacted Chapter 9.22 of Title 9 of the Nevada City Municipal Code in order to allow adult-use cannabis businesses to operate within the City as opposed to medical-only businesses. Staff has determined that there are potential impacts to allowing existing authorized medical-only facilities to become authorized adult-use facilities, including but not limited to: parking needs, operational traffic increases, increases in solvent storage, etc.
NOTICE OF CHANGE OF SERVICE FROM
A MEDICAL CANNABIS BUSINESS TO AN ADULT-USE CANNABIS BUSINESS
AT 569 SEARLS AVENUE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Searls Group, LLC has submitted a request to convert their authorized medical cannabis business, located at 569 Searls Avenue, to an authorized adult-use cannabis business. Chapter 9.22 of Title 9 of the Nevada City Municipal Code established regulations for adult-use cannabis businesses. Searls Group, LLC has provided responses to a staff-prepared questionnaire to inform staff in determining if the change warrants further review by the appropriate hearing body (City Council for a dispensary business or Planning Commission for all other cannabis business categories).
Applicant responses to the Adult-Use Questionnaire can be viewed here.
Written comments and requests for placing the item on an upcoming agenda (City Council for a dispensary business or Planning Commission for all other cannabis business categories) may be filed with the City Planner during regular working hours at City Hall within 7-days of mailing, due by Wednesday, May 15, 2019.

IMPORTNAT INFORMATION REGARDING THE LIVE SCAN FORM!:
The City is currently working on obtaining authorization to receive live scan information from the State DOJ and the FBI. Applications will be due before we have such authorization and so will not be required to include the Live Scan receipt as requested in the application. Please Complete the Background Information Form, below to submit with your application. The City will notify you at the time we have received appropriate authorization and will direct you to provide the Live Scan Receipt at that time.
