C Consideration and possible action to conduct a public hearing to consider issuing one Cannabis Business Permit for a dispensary use at 8846 Alondra Boulevard; and consider adopting Resolution No. 26-26 – A Resolution approving a Cannabis Business Permit to operate a cannabis dispensary at 8846 Alondra Boulevard; Applicant: OTC Bellflower LLC dba Off the Charts. CEQA: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; “CEQA”) and CEQA regulations (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, §§ 15000, et seq.), an environmental review of the application was conducted in accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15061. Following that review, it was determined that the proposed dispensary is included in the classes of projects exempt from additional environmental review under CEQA Guidelines § 15301 (Existing Facilities) and § 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) for the reason that it is an approved land use proposed for existing commercial and industrial buildings. Recommendation to City Council: 1) Reopen a public hearing and consider issuing a cannabis business permit for dispensary use; and 2) After receiving testimonial and documentary evidence, close the public hearing and consider whether to issue a cannabis business permit to the Applicant by adopting Resolution No. 26-26. Based upon the Applicant’s bid guaranty, it is recommended that the City Council issue a CBP to this Applicant; or 3) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
