(A) Permit nontransferable to other locations. A commercial cannabis permit issued under this chapter is valid only as to the premises identified in and approved by the commercial cannabis permit, and is therefore nontransferable to other locations except as authorized in this section. No permittee is authorized to relocate to other areas or units within a building structure without first obtaining written approval from the City Manager, regardless of any possessory interest or right of possession to such additional space.
(B) City Manager authority. No permittee shall change the location of the premises identified in and approved by the commercial cannabis permit until any such change of location is approved by the City Manager. As provided in § 5.36.040, the City Manager shall adopt a process (to include any necessary forms and procedures) to change the location of the premises approved in accordance with the commercial cannabis permit that includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(1) The permittee shall submit a change of location application to the city at least 90 days prior to the proposed change, along with any fees established by resolution of the City Council.
(2) The proposed location shall meet all of the requirements under this code, including, but not limited to, this chapter and Title 17.
(3) The proposed location shall be reviewed and evaluated using review criteria as referenced in § 5.36.070.
(4) The change in location of premises shall be subject to the prior review and approval by the City Manager and any and all other licenses, approvals, or permits required under state law and this code.
(C) Other approvals. All required state and city approvals, plan approvals, permits, and licenses must be obtained before causing, allowing, or licensing alterations to, and/or extensions or expansions of, the existing building(s), structure(s), or portions thereof on the premises approved as a location for a commercial cannabis business. Said alterations, extensions, or expansions shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and standards, including, but not limited to, those concerning building safety and occupancy.
