Does the zoning clearance or use permit give me the right to occupy the site and begin to operate?

No. There are subsequent steps to complete prior to initiation of use. The land use clearance approves the use on the site subject to compliance with local and state regulations, conditions of approval, building and fire codes, and/or any necessary building or site improvements. Subsequent to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (PDF) the applicant’s Regulatory Permit must be approved by the Police Department including the issuance of applicable building permit(s) to confirm compliance with building and fire code occupancy standards, conditions of approval, and applicable Zoning Code requirements related to cannabis activities. In addition, all cannabis land use permits must be followed by the filing of a business license.
