Board approves ownership transfer and change of location for Family Farm Growers license
Summary
Pueblo County board approved transfer of a retail marijuana cultivation license from Family Farm Growers LLC to Olive Organics LLC and approved a change of location, following a hearing officer order addressing noncompliance at the original site.
The Pueblo County Liquor and Marijuana Licensing Board on June 9 approved a transfer of ownership for a retail marijuana cultivation license at 43801 East State Highway 96 from Family Farm Growers LLC to Olive Organics LLC and separately approved a change of location to 1830 Shiloh Road in Pueblo.
County staff told the board the original property associated with the license was not in compliance; staff said the business had been inoperable for some time and that security and power-related problems made bringing the original site into compliance impractical. The board noted that the hearing officer issued an order permitting transfer and change of location on the condition that the licensee demonstrate a compliant property before beginning operations at the new site.
Staff explained that the hearing officer’s order allows completion of the transfer and change of location provided Olive Organics (the transferee) demonstrates the new site meets county requirements and passes an enforcement inspection before operations begin. The board was told the plan is for the transferee to operate only at the new compliant location and not to operate at the noncompliant original site.
Applicant Travis Oshman testified under oath and said he was available to answer questions; no members of the public testified for or against the change of location at the hearing. The board voted unanimously to approve the transfer of ownership and then unanimously approved the change of location application after the standard condition that all final routing and enforcement inspections be completed.
Board members emphasized the requirement that the transferee prove compliance before any operation begins under the transferred license. Staff said the hearing officer’s order provides the procedural path to allow the transfer despite the prior noncompliance, and that county enforcement will verify that the new premises are compliant before issuing final approval for operations.
The board scheduled its next meeting for July 14 and closed the hearing after the votes.
