PA-2000007 (PP) & PA-2000094 (DA) - Special Purpose Plan and Development Agreement for a Commercial Cannabis Business Park

This project is a Special Purpose Plan (SPP) and Development Agreement application for a Commercial Cannabis Business Park proposed pursuant to Title 9 of the San Joaquin County Municipal Code. If approved, the applicant will lease a portion of the existing property to future Commercial Cannabis Licensees, which cannot operate without a County and California State license pursuant to Title 4. The leasing of space for licensees is consistent with the SPP/Cannabis Business Park defined in Title 4. The applicant does not intend to obtain a Commercial Cannabis License itself. The Development Agreement serves to address any indirect expenses pertaining to the project. No potentially significant environmental impacts are anticipated. The project site was previously approved for and currently has an existing winery, which will be scaled down, and an existing restaurant on-site which will remain in-use. The existing uses will be separated by a security fence from the proposed project. The proposed Cannabis Business Park would include cannabis cultivation, cannabis distribution, cannabis manufacturing, and cannabis non-storefront retail sales. The proposed project will be constructed in two (2) phases over five (5) years.
