RE: ZONING INFORMATION FOR A COMMERCIAL CANNABIS
BUSINESS (CCB) LOCATED AT 61 TARP CIRCLE IN THE IGC-F
(INDUSTRIAL - GENERAL COMMERICAL - FLOOD OVERLAY)
ZONING DISTRICT (APN: 003-282-042-000) (LUTR 2024-006)
Dear Ms. Findley:
On April 10, 2024 the Community Development Department received your request for zoning information for the above referenced site in connection with a Commercial Cannabis Business (CCB) consisting of a dispensary.
The subject site is located in the IGC - F (Industrial - General Commercial - Flood Overlay) Zoning District (APN 003-282-042-000). The following provides an overview of the adjacent land uses and zoning districts to the site:
North: Industrial/Industrial - General Commercial - Flood Overlay (IGC-F) South: Industrial/Industrial - General Commercial - Flood Overlay (IGC-F) East: U.S. Highway 101
West: Industrial/Industrial - General Commercial - Flood Overlay (IGC-F) Project case files applicable to the site are listed below. Copies are available in our office for review.
1. Conditional Use Permit 1990-012 (CUP 1990-012); and
2. Freeway Sign Plan 1990-002 (FSP 1990-002)
Zoning Analysis of the proposed CCB.
1. Dispensary: Dispensary, which is most closely defined as Retail Sales per Zoning Code Section 37-10.420, is permissible in the underlying IGC-F Zoning District through the Site Plan Review (SPR) process per Zoning Code Section 37-
30.310, Table 37-30.130. However, per Footnote 4 of Zoning Code Section 37-
30.310, Table 37-30.130, in Industrially-zoned Districts, such as IGC-F, only accessory retail sales, limited to 30% of the total square-footage of all structures
on a site or 2,500 square-feet, whichever is less, shall be allowed excluding convenience stores. Goods being sold at retail must be limited to those uses, which are permitted uses requiring a SPR, or uses which require a Conditional Use Permit on the site. Because of this, a Dispensary only Commercial Cannabis Business (CCB) would not be permitted on-site because it is not accessory retail sales.
Analysis of Sensitive Uses:
The CCB must not be within a 1,000-foot radius of schools, churches, libraries, colleges, smoke shops, hookah lounges or other sensitive uses as in described in S.M.C Section 16B-30.70, unless otherwise allowed per the Municipal Code. Per available records, City staff has determined that the proposed CCB is located within a 1,000-foot radius of several sensitive uses (measured from parcel to parcel), as follows:
1. 295 Sun Way; park and recreation facility - Exhibition Grounds, 630 feet away
2. 10 Simas Street: religious assembly - Celebration Church, 380 feet away
3. 319 East Market Street: retail with on-sale alcohol sales - Smart and Final, 700 feet away
4. 153 Griffin Street: restaurant with on-sale alcohol sales - El Kora Restaurant - 775 feet away
5. 107 Kern Street: restaurant with on-sale alcohol sales - Los Altos Restaurant - 805 feet away
6. 145 Griffin Street; religious assembly - Church of Christ - 746 feet away Note the issuance of a "Zoning Information Letter" does not mean the written evidence of permission given by the City of Salinas or any of its officials to operate a CCB nor does it not mean "permit" within the meaning of the Permit Streamlining Act, not does it constitute an entitlement under the Zoning or Building Codes, and a regulatory permit for the purpose of regulating a CCB does not constitute a permit that runs with the land on which the CCB is established.
Zoning information may be accessed via the Internet at the following link (look for Chapter 37 Zoning at the bottom left side column):
