receipts of the company. Compliance inspections confirm whether a cannabis business is following the requirements pursuant to the Modesto Municipal Code for commercial cannabis land uses2 as well as Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) regulations3.

Since 2018, cannabis permittees have requested relocations of their businesses for a variety of reasons ranging from lease disputes to identifying a location that would result in improved economic opportunities for the business. Pursuant to section 10-3.704(d) of the Modesto Municipal Code, permits are not transferable to another physical location without City approval.

To provide guidance to businesses regarding City approval, a general process and application was developed for relocation requests. The business applying for a relocation must provide a narrative explanation justifying the relocation, updated security plans, updated premises diagrams, lease agreements, and they must pay a cannabis application fee of $6,380.

City Staff with current cannabis consultant support reviews the updated security plan and premises diagram for compliance with State and Local regulations. The Planning Division performs a zoning analysis to determine compliance with Modesto Municipal Code section 10-

3.703. Cannabis businesses are generally required to be located in a commercial or industrial zone and are subject to the following proximity requirements:

1. No commercial cannabis use shall be located within six hundred (600) feet of a school, childcare center, or youth center, as measured from the nearest property lines.

2. No commercial cannabis use shall be located within one hundred (100) feet of any residential use; this distance shall be measured from any building or structure containing a commercial cannabis use to an existing residential structure used for residential purposes.

3. No commercial cannabis use shall be located within two hundred (200) feet of a park or library, as measured from the nearest property lines.

4. All commercial cannabis uses are prohibited in the Downtown Cannabis Prohibition Overlay.

The Finance department provides confirmation that all applicant related taxes and fees are current. Cannabis program administrative staff also confirms that the business is compliant with annual inspections and audits and a site inspection is conducted to confirm that unauthorized cannabis actives are not engaged in at the proposed location.

DISCUSSION:

On July 11, 2024, the owners of CR&D applied to relocate from 439 Maze Blvd. to 1313 McHenry Ave. The applicant indicated that they are requesting this relocation to move to a larger previously approved cannabis retail location due to modern amenities, a centralized location within the City, and current property availability. Staff initially reviewed the application for completeness and found that the required plans, diagrams, lease agreement, and fee payment were included. A zoning and proximity review was also performed. The proposed location was found to be in a mixed-use pedestrian (MU-P) zone which allows for general commercial uses equivalent to a C-2 zone which would allow for commercial cannabis retail 2Modesto Municipal Code cannabis land use

The security plan and premises diagram were initially reviewed on August 14, 2024, and comments were provided to the business regarding security camera placement, the use of dye packs, installation of self-closing door mechanisms, and a revision to the premises diagram to remove a proposed non-conforming consumption lounge. Revised documents were submitted to the City on February 14, 2025, with additional comments provided back to the applicant for security plan revisions. All City comments were subsequently addressed on March 18, 2025, and after a final review it was determined that the security plan and premises diagram satisfied State and Local requirements. The Finance Department has also confirmed that the applicant is current on all City taxes and fees, and the business has passed each annual inspection and audit since becoming operational.

As a result of the proximity review it was noted that the residence at 1312 Alma Avenue was within 100 feet of the proposed dispensary location. Pursuant to Modesto Municipal Code section 10-3.703(c) proximity requirements may be waived by the decision-maker when the applicant can show that an actual impassible physical separation exists between land uses or parcels, such as a building, sound wall, major street or highway, such that no negative off-site impacts could occur that would result in harm or likely harm to the public health, safety, or welfare or the health, safety, or welfare of nearby resident or tenant, unless otherwise prohibited under State law.

The applicant submitted a letter of justification for the waiver of the residential proximity requirements due to the subject location and residential property being separated by two (2) fences providing significant physical seperation, including an impassible barrier in the form of the primary seven (7) foot wrought iron fence. The properties are also noted to be separated by a twenty-five (25) foot wide alleyway, and the fence itself contains an emergency access gate that would remain closed during all hours except for emergency access. In 2018, the Medallion Wellness retail dispensary, which has since relocated, was also granted a proximity waiver however these waivers do not run with the land, and they must be separately approved for each application for the use of a potential cannabis premises. The impassable barriers proposed by the applicant would comply with the Modesto Municipal Code, however the granting of the #20..

waiver would be at the discretion of the City Council which serves as the approving authority for all dispensary matters.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff and consultant time dedicated to the review of the applications is recovered through an application fee of $6,380. Each business will also be subject to an annual permit fee. On November 14, 2023, by Resolution No. 2023-504, Council approved two separate annual commercial cannabis permit fees which cover costs related to the administration and monitoring of the cannabis permit program. Operational businesses remit a fee of $18,732 while nonoperational businesses are required to pay a lower fee of $4,307. The annual permit fee is reviewed and reconciled annually to capture increases or decreases related to administrative oversight of the cannabis permit program. Cannabis retail businesses are also subject to an 8% tax on the business’ gross receipts.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

This relocation request was presented to the Cannabis Program and Permit Review Committee on April 28, 2025, and the Committee recommended forwarding the item to Council for approval.

CEQA/NEPA REQUIREMENTS:

The proposed project application for the relocation of the commercial cannabis retail business is exempt from further analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the in-fill streamlining process found in CEQA Regulation 15183.3 and/or the existing facilities exemption in Regulation 15301 and/or the exemption for new construction or conversion of small structures under Regulation 15303. Furthermore, the proposed businesses are exempt from CEQA under the general rule in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

The business is for retail uses and is permitted under the current zoning code.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

May 13, 2025
Date: April 17, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Jessica Hill, Director of Community and Economic Development SUBJECT: McHenry Business Services Relocation Request
CONTACT: Sean Rando, Business Analyst,
[email protected], 209-577-5473
DESCRIPTION:

Hearing to consider a relocation request of McHenry Business Services LLC from 500 East Glenn Avenue to 1300 North Carpenter Road Suite E and F. (Funding Source: Cannabis Permit Application Fee)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

This item is consistent with the City Council 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Goal E, Drive Economy Vitality.

BACKGROUND:

In December of 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance 3684-C.S. legalizing certain commercial cannabis business operations in particular zoning districts. The City Council was the approving body regarding all cannabis businesses operating in the City. On April 13, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-132, Council established the Cannabis Permit Review Committee (Committee) and delegated the authority to approve non-dispensary and non-delivery cannabis businesses to that Committee. On March 1, 2022, by Resolution No. 2022-109, the Council expanded the role of the Committee to advise the Council on all cannabis-related issues and renamed the Committee, the Cannabis Program and Permit Review Committee. City Council remains the approval authority for all matters regarding retail dispensaries.

On December 19, 2018, by Resolution 2018-566, the City Council approved and issued eight (8) cannabis retail permits. McHenry Business Services LLC (Herbology) received a permit to operate a type twelve (12) commercial cannabis microbusiness permit at 500 East Glenn Avenue. The components of their microbusiness included a retail dispensary, cannabis manufacturing, and cannabis distribution services. On September 10, 2024, a management services agreement (MSA) between Mission Nurseries (Kolaboration Ventures) and Herbology was approved under the City Manager’s authority according to the provisions of the City’s commercial cannabis change in ownership policy. Mission Nurseries provides staffing expertise and equipment for the manufacturing portion of Herbology’s business. The MSA temporarily #21..

transferred control over a portion of the manufacturing business, however equity ownership in the overall business was maintained by the originally approved owner which qualified for administrative approval.

Following the issuance of a permit, and once the business becomes operational, each permittee is then required to pass annual financial audits and compliance inspections. The audits review business records including point of sale reports, invoices, and Metrc system1 data to verify that all cannabis excise tax payments to the City are accurately calculated based on the actual gross receipts of the company. Compliance inspections confirm whether a cannabis business is following the requirements pursuant to the Modesto Municipal Code for commercial cannabis land uses2 as well as Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) regulations3.

Since 2018, cannabis permittees have requested relocations of their businesses for a variety of reasons ranging from lease disputes to identifying a location that would result in improved economic opportunities for the business. Pursuant to section 10-3.704(d) of the Modesto Municipal Code, permits are not transferable to another physical location without City approval.

To provide guidance to businesses regarding City approval, a general process and application was developed for relocation requests. The business applying for a relocation must provide a narrative explanation justifying the relocation, updated security plans, updated premises diagrams, lease agreements, and they must pay a cannabis application fee of $6,380.

City Staff with current cannabis consultant support reviews the updated security plan and premises diagram for compliance with State and Local regulations. The Planning Division performs a zoning analysis to determine compliance with Modesto Municipal Code section 10-

3.703. Cannabis businesses are generally required to be located in a commercial or industrial zone and are subject to the following proximity requirements:

1. No commercial cannabis use shall be located within six hundred (600) feet of a school, childcare center, or youth center, as measured from the nearest property lines.

2. No commercial cannabis use shall be located within one hundred (100) feet of any residential use; this distance shall be measured from any building or structure containing a commercial cannabis use to an existing residential structure used for residential purposes.

3. No commercial cannabis use shall be located within two hundred (200) feet of a park or library, as measured from the nearest property lines.

4. All commercial cannabis uses are prohibited in the Downtown Cannabis Prohibition Overlay.

The Finance department provides confirmation that all applicant related taxes and fees are current. Cannabis program administrative staff also confirms that the business is compliant with annual inspections and audits and a site inspection is conducted to confirm that unauthorized cannabis actives are not engaged in at the proposed location. 1 Metrc provides track and trace software services for the California Department of Cannabis Control which monitors the movement of cannabis through the supply chain from cultivation through sale to a consumer: https://cannabis.ca.gov/wpcontent/uploads/sites/2/2022/04/Track-and-Trace_System_5-Steps.pdf 2Modesto Municipal Code cannabis land use

DISCUSSION:

On February 24, 2025, the owners of McHenry Business Services LLC applied to relocate from 500 East Glenn Avenue to 1300 N. Carpenter Road Suite E and F. The applicant indicated that they are requesting this relocation to a new site that enhances safety and accessibility for their customers and community. They state that the new location offers closer proximity to emergency services with faster response times and improved access to public transportation with multiple nearby bus routes. According to the operators, this location supports a faster, more convenient experience while aligning with the City’s goals for public safety and sustainability.

Staff initially revised the application for completeness and found that the required plans, diagrams, lease agreement, and fee payment were included. A zoning and proximity review was also performed. The new location was verified to be in an M-1 light industrial zone allowing for all cannabis business types under Herbology’s microbusiness permit, and no proximity issues were noted. The results of the proximity review are included below with the estimated distances from 1300 N. Carpenter Road:

The security plan and premises diagram were initially reviewed on February 26, 2025, and comments were provided to the business regarding camera placement and the security of cannabis storage as well as limited access areas. On March 3, 2025, the applicant submitted revised documents which addressed all review comments provided, and the application was deemed eligible for consideration of approval by the Cannabis Program and Permit Review Committee followed by the City Council. To finalize the relocation review process, City staff conducted a site visit on March 10, 2025, with no noted signs of unpermitted commercial cannabis activity, and the Finance Department confirmed that the applicant is current on all City taxes and fees.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff and consultant time dedicated to the review of the applications is recovered through an application fee of $6,380. Each business will also be subject to an annual permit fee. On November 14, 2023, by Resolution No. 2023-504, Council approved two separate annual commercial cannabis permit fees which cover costs related to the administration and monitoring #21..

of the cannabis permit program. Operational businesses remit a fee of $18,732 while nonoperational businesses are required to pay a lower fee of $4,307. The annual permit fee is reviewed and reconciled annually to capture increases or decreases related to administrative oversight of the cannabis permit program. Cannabis microbusinesses are also taxed on sales at the activity level which would result in Herbology remitting a tax of 8% of retail gross receipts, 4% for manufacturing sales, and 2.5% for distribution sales.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

This relocation request was presented to the Cannabis Program and Permit Review Committee on April 28, 2025, and the Committee recommended forwarding the item to Council for approval.

CEQA/NEPA REQUIREMENTS:

The proposed project application for the relocation of the commercial cannabis retail business is exempt from further analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the in-fill streamlining process found in CEQA Regulation 15183.3 and/or the existing facilities exemption in Regulation 15301 and/or the exemption for new construction or conversion of small structures under Regulation 15303. Furthermore, the proposed businesses are exempt from CEQA under the general rule in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

The business is for retail uses and is permitted under the current zoning code.
