Adelanto planning commission approves non‑storefront cannabis delivery office
Summary
The Adelanto Planning Commission approved a conditional‑use permit for a 320‑square‑foot, non‑storefront cannabis delivery office in an existing industrial building at 16252–16256 Koala Road. Staff said the project meets zoning standards and is categorically exempt under CEQA; no public comments were received.
Vice Chair Delgado moved and commissioners seconded a resolution to approve Conditional Use Permit 24‑06 for a 320‑square‑foot non‑storefront cannabis delivery office located within an existing 17,600‑square‑foot building at 16252 and 16256 Koala Road in Adelanto. The motion carried.
Planner Ionica Allen, identified as the project planner, summarized staff’s review and recommendation. "The applicant meets all the zoning outlined standards for the site to establish a non‑storefront cannabis retail," Allen said, noting staff’s conclusion that the project complies with Section 17.8013 of the Adelanto zoning code. Allen told commissioners the City had determined the project is categorically exempt from full CEQA review under Section 15301 (existing facilities) because it would occupy an existing approved commercial or industrial building and would not involve physical changes that trigger environmental review.
Allen said a public notice was sent to property owners within 300 feet of the site and that, as of the staff report, no written comments had been received. She identified the applicant representative as Sammy Sage of Cal Track Distribution LLC and said the applicant submitted necessary permits for related medical marijuana cultivation and distribution activities at the location.
During brief commissioner discussion, Chris Wagner called the project "an excellent project" and asked about timing; Allen said the applicant submitted a phasing plan and expects to begin work in February 2025. With no members of the public offering comment on the item, Vice Chair Delgado made the motion to adopt Resolution P‑24‑09 to approve the conditional use permit and adopt the categorical CEQA exemption. The motion was seconded and the chair indicated the motion passed.
The commission did not record a roll‑call vote tally in the transcript. The file record for CUP 24‑06 will include the adopted resolution and the conditions of approval specified in staff’s report.
