NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Clearlake will hold a public hearing at a regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council on Thursday, April 13th, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. or soon thereafter in the City Council Chambers at City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive, Clearlake, CA., to consider the following:

The applicant, Akwaaba LLC, is requesting approval of Use Permit 14-20 to expand their current cannabis operation with a cannabis microbusiness license at 3995 Alvita Avenue (informally referenced as 14196 Lakeshore Drive) - the site of an existing retail cannabis dispensary, known as Triple C Collective. A micro business is allowed under state law and is defined as a (Type 12) license that allows a licensee to engage in the cultivation of cannabis on an area less than 10,000 square feet and to act as a licensed distributor, level 1 manufacturer, and a retailer, as specified in an application. The City recently enacted provisions that allow only the three existing retail dispensaries within the City to operate as “micro businesses,” consistent with this allowance in state law. Operating as a microbusiness would not expand the footprint of the operation but allows a single business to operate with multiple license types rather than the requirement to operate independently for other cannabis businesses. The City ordinance requires a use permit be approved as well as the business enter into a development agreement with the City.
