Staff reports for the meeting explain that Akwaaba is proposing to modify its existing business operation involving a storefront cannabis dispensary located at 3995 Alvita Ave. (colloquially referred to as 14196 Lakeshore Drive) in order to engage in retail, cultivation, distribution and manufacturing.
Green Growth Solutions LLC is proposing a commercial cannabis operation located at 2560 Highway 53, on 15.37 acres of vacant, industrially zoned property on the east side of Highway 53.
City staff said the proposed operation would involve cultivation, processing and wholesale distribution from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. There would be up to six employees at normal peak shifts with extra staff to accommodate the harvest season.
It also will include a 10,000-square-foot single-story prefabricated metal building for processing and distribution, a two-story prefabricated metal building for indoor cultivation and administrative uses totaling 40,000 square feet, and hybrid greenhouses for indoor cultivation totaling 36,000 square feet between two structures.
If approved, the two agreements will be set for second and final readings at the council's June 17 meeting.
