Commission OKs one‑year extension for Pleasantries' consumption permit
Summary
The Mount Clemens City Commission approved a one‑year extension to the conditional marijuana consumption permit for VBJG Mount Clemens LLC (doing business as Pleasantries), citing delayed state/regulatory rule changes; the extension runs through March 6, 2026.
The Mount Clemens City Commission voted to grant an additional one‑year extension to VBJG Mount Clemens LLC, doing business as Pleasantries, for its conditional Marijuana Designated Consumption Establishment permit, extending the permit through March 6, 2026.
City staff said Pleasantries received a one‑year extension on Jan. 3, 2024 and is now requesting a second extension because anticipated changes to cannabis regulatory rules will not be effective until late 2025. A staff summary said Pleasantries delayed opening its consumption lounge pending the new operating rules.
During discussion, commissioners asked whether there is any formal limit on the number of extension requests; staff responded that they were not aware of a statutory limit and that extensions depend on the commission’s willingness to grant them. One commissioner urged patience so the business can open under the final rules rather than repeatedly opening and adjusting to interim regulations.
A motion to approve the one‑year extension was offered and carried by roll call. The motion passed with recorded affirmative votes as read aloud during the meeting; the minutes reflect the motion passed.
The commission did not record any formal conditions or amendments to the extension during the discussion. No public comment in opposition was recorded at the meeting.
