Alan Magana, who identified himself as the owner of Owl's Depot and Emporium at 4116 Pine Street, asked the council for written direction to use an adjacent space as a cannabis consumption lounge for adults 21 and older. Magana described programming including yoga, board games and community events, and asked what permits and zoning verifications would be required.
