Wyoming council approves interim conditional use permit for cannabis microbusiness at Fallbrook Avenue
Summary
The Wyoming City Council approved an interim conditional use permit for a production-only cannabis microbusiness at 26615 Fallbrook Avenue, allowing cultivation and processing (no retail). The permit includes conditions on ventilation, security and an expiration tied to sale or loss of state license.
The Wyoming City Council voted March 17 to approve resolution 26-03-37, granting an interim conditional use permit (IUP) for a cannabis microbusiness at 26615 Fallbrook Avenue. The applicant is listed as Hunter Frederickson of True North Holdings LLC; the property owner is Estates Development Corporation.
Staff told the council the site is production-only with no retail or public access, and would operate roughly 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the industrially zoned 0.96-acre parcel. The building layout shown to the council includes seven interior spaces for storage, cultivation and security and 39 parking stalls. Staff estimated water use at about 1,287 gallons per day and wastewater at about 305 gallons per day and said the city engineer found those amounts acceptable.
Staff presented proposed security and odor-mitigation measures: restricted-access areas, secure storage and vaults, key-card access and intrusion detection, 24/7 video surveillance, fencing along the north lot line, and a closed-loop HVAC system with carbon filtration and pleated filters to control odors. The planning commission recommended approval with conditions; staff recommended compliance with the application materials and zoning code, and noted the IUP would terminate on sale of the property, a change in business ownership, or if the applicant failed to maintain a state license with the Office of Cannabis Management. Staff also noted the permit would expire on Jan. 1, 2036.
During council discussion Member Yeager said she had heard concerns from congregants at Grace Church about the proximity of the facility but, after reviewing the findings of fact, said there was nothing she could challenge and she had no reason to oppose. Member Anstead confirmed the site was the former Regal Machine property. The council moved and seconded the resolution and conducted a roll-call vote: Member Yeager — Aye; Member Anstead — Aye; Member Lugar — Aye; Mayor Iverson — No. The resolution passed.
The IUP approval allows the applicant to proceed under the stated conditions; staff must ensure compliance with the permit terms and applicable local, state and federal regulations before operations begin.
