| By Eugene Davidovich | Published November 4, 2008 |
November 5, 2009 at 9am the San Diego Planning Commission will meet to discuss a request by New Earth Beginnings for a determination regarding the appropriate zoning use category and subcategory for medical marijuana cooperatives and collectives in the city.
The agenda item is listed below:
NEW EARTH BEGINNINGS – PROJECT NO. 193751
City Council District: All Plan Area: Citywide
Staff: Richard Rhoads
Issue – To obtain a Planning Commission determination regarding the appropriate zoning use category and subcategory for medical marijuana cooperatives and collectives per LDC 131.0110 (b).
Does the LDC currently contain an appropriate Use Category for medical marijuana cooperatives and collectives? If so, what use category and subcategory should be used?
TODAY'S ACTION IS:
Process 4. Approve or deny the project
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Deny the project
Here are comments from New Earth about the application:
Thank you for your support and thoughtful insight. Believe it or not, we were contacted by the Planning Commission on Monday with regard to our correct address. They never contacted us regarding any other information nor were we contacted regarding tomorrow's decision. We have made every attempt to follow all of the supposed "necessary" steps to establish the correct zoning. Obviously the $5,010.00 that we paid for the Planning Commission to fit us in under an existing LDC code or sub code or to establish a new code was not effective. Futhermore, we were never informed that it could be denied. Hopefully they will look at what you have attached and take it to heart. Unfortunately it seems a bit of a "pass off" by the Planning Commission in order to let the Task Force handle this issue. We would rather see the issue be tabled for a later date to give the Task Force the opportunity to establish zoning. However, it would be nice to understand the process that has taken place to this point with regard to our dispute of the zoning decision.
Hope to see you all there tomorrow.
