A. Issuance of a Commercial Cannabis Permit does not create a land use approval. Furthermore, no permit will be officially issued, and no applicant awarded a permit may begin operations, unless all of the state and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to the requirements of this Code and of the permit, have been complied with including award of a land use entitlement or use permit, if required. All Permittees must comply with State laws as they relate to commercial cannabis activity not being allowed without issuance of a state license.
B. Being issued a Notice of Selection does not constitute a land use entitlement and does not waive or remove the requirements associated with being awarded a Use Permit, and submitting all requisites thereof, submitting plans, making any required plan corrections, and obtaining City-approved plans, applying for and receiving technical permits for all construction and/or structural alterations, including building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits, undergoing and passing all building and fire intermittent and final inspections, and securing any other required permits, licenses, or reviews as may be necessary by the relevant departments or government agencies in charge of said permits. Nor does it guarantee that the plans submitted via the application process meet the standards or requirements in this Chapter or the Chico Zoning Ordinance, or any building or fire codes, laws, rules or regulations, or any other permit requirement from other local or state departments or agencies.
C. Applicants shall have no right to a Commercial Cannabis Permit until a permit is actually issued, and then only for the duration of the permit term. Each applicant assumes the risk that, at any time prior to the issuance of a permit, the City Council may terminate or delay the program created under this Chapter.
