RE: APPLICATION REJECTION NOTICE
Application No.: 18-028 Applicant Name on file: Synergy Business Management Dear Mr. Eisenberg,
On June 14, 2022, the City Council approved a development agreement for application No. 18-028. The report addressed that Anresco Incorporated (Inc.) would hold the rights to the application and at the time of approval, had legal or equitable interest in real property considered in the development agreement.
Since the approval of the development agreement, Anresco Inc. has not executed its development agreement, therefore the original owner, Synergy Business Management, previously applicant No. 18- 028, approved and recognized by City Council on November 13, 2018, as the thirty-three (33) selected CCP applicants is subject to the rejection of application No. 18-028 based on the following municipal code sections:
Commerce Municipal Code Section 5.61.090(c)(2), the City reserves the right to reject an incomplete application.
Section 5.61.290(a), the City Manager has been authorized to establish an additional policy effective October 10, 2022, which provides the following:
"Any persons or entities without an active application for over one year submit a complete Development Agreement application within 30 days of the effective date of the administrative policy. Failure to do so may subject the applicant to immediate disqualification." It has been over two years since the City Council approved the development agreement request, however, due to the agreement not being executed by the proposed new owner, the ownership of the application remains under Synergy Business Management.
As a result, City staff will be recommending that the City Council reject your application on December 10, 2024.
Sincerely,
Commercial Cannabis Permit Staff
