Description:

Request: This is an appeal of the February 12, 2025 (publicly noticed on October 9, 2025), decision of the Director of the Department of Safety and Permits, regarding the determination of zoning verification no. 24-1348 that a medical marijuana pharmacy dispensary is permitted as a retail goods establishment in the HU-B1 Historic Urban Neighborhood Business District, alleging that the verification fails to cite specific reasons for the verifications per Article 4.9.B; the verification does not acknowledge that the proposed use requires a conditional use because it would provide 5,000 square feet of floor area or more; and that the “medical marijuana pharmacy dispensary” use is improperly classified as a retail goods establishment.
