Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously closed the public hearing on Richmond Compassionate Care Collective's request to relocate their permitted marijuana dispensary from its original approved location to 3190 Klose Way. This is a routine procedural step that allows the dispensary to move to a new address while keeping their existing city permits. The business already has approval to operate a marijuana dispensary in Richmond—this change would simply allow them to open at a different location than originally planned. No money was involved in this decision.

Deny staff's recommendation and extend Richmond Compassionate Care Collective's permit for three months from July 2, 2015, to allow the collective time to work with the City to locate a site suitable for the City and the collective; and suspend the monthly fees for that three-month period

Why This Vote Matters
The council voted to give Richmond Compassionate Care Collective three more months to find a new location for their marijuana dispensary, overruling staff's recommendation to deny the request. The business already has permits to operate a dispensary but wanted to move from their originally approved site to 3190 Klose Way. Five councilmembers supported the extension with waived monthly fees, while Councilmembers Beckles and Martinez abstained from voting. This gives the dispensary until October 2015 to work with the city to find a mutually acceptable location.
