Board amends CUP to add manufacturing for CEA 7 investments facility; company says change allows wholesale packaging
Summary
The board approved an amendment to a conditional use permit to add 'manufacturing' to a facility’s permitted uses; the operator said the change restores language needed to produce packaged product for dispensaries and does not add retail sales.
The La Paz County Board of Supervisors approved Jan. 20 an amendment to a conditional use permit (CUP 2025-01) for parcel APN 304-07-003 to add "manufacturing" to the site’s permitted uses.
Garrett Begore, who identified himself as running operations at the facility owned by CEA 7 Investments, told the board that the state changed licensing language and the facility needs the term "manufacturing" in the county CUP to allow on-site extraction and packaging for distribution. Begore said the change "allows us to...distribute packaged goods to the dispensary," and clarified it is a wholesale/distribution activity rather than retail sales.
Planning staff told the board that notices were posted and mailed and that the county’s Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval on Jan. 2, 2025. No members of the public spoke in opposition during the hearing.
Board members characterized the amendment as ministerial and voted to approve the CUP amendment as presented.
