City reviews cannabis shop applications according to schedule By Barbara Taormina T hree companies seeking special permits for retail marijuana businesses will have their applications reviewed at City Council hearings sometime this spring, while a fourth applicant has dropped plans for a cannabis shop at 616 Broadway. Last summer and throughout the fall, the Cannabis Licensing and Enforcement Commission interviewed eight companies with proposals for retail marijuana businesses. Commission members agreed that four of the applicants should move forward to the next step in the licensing process, a public meeting to introduce their business plans to neighbors and the community at large. After Misty Mountain Shop, Standard Naturals, MassMedicum and Craft Cultivation Group held their meetings, they had 60 days to apply to the City Council for a special permit. Dr. James Kurnick missed the application deadline for MassMedicum, a retail shop with a plan to highlight therapeutic uses of marijuana. Although commission members were willing to consider giving MassMedicum a chance to restart the licensing process, they acknowledged the community’s opposition to locating the shop in a densely populated residential neighborhood along with concerns about traffic and parking. That may have convinced Kurnick to pass on Malden. Special permit applications from Standard Naturals for a recreational marijuana shop next to Kappy’s on Route 1, and Misty Mountain Shop, which has proposed opening a retail business at 323 Commercial St., were submitted on time to the Permits, Inspections and Planning Department. Building Commissioner Nelson Miller, who is also a member of the city’s Cannabis Licensing and Enforcement Commission, had 30 days to review the applications and forward them to City Clerk Greg Lucey, who, in turn, had 65 days to schedule the City Council’s special permit hearings. Craft Cultivation is working on a special permit application for a cannabis cultivation, manufacturing and retail business at 1130 Eastern Ave., but still has time to meet the 60-day deadline. Once a special permit hearing is closed, the City Council has 90 days to decide whether to approve or deny the application. And there is a 20-day appeal period on City Council decisions. Applicants who receive special permits from the City Council must go on to negotiate a host community agreement with the Mayor’s Office, be approved for a state license from the Cannabis Control Commission and then return to the Cannabis Licensing and Enforcement ComCANNABIS | SEE PAGE 18 2009 FORD F-150 CREW CAB 4X4, One Owner, Most Power Options, Only 118K Miles, Just Serviced, Trades Welcome!
