Applicant warns of license expiration as board seeks measurements and compliance details
Summary
Applicant and counsel told the board the tenant's OCP license could expire April 1 if renewal is not processed; board members pressed for exact square-foot measurements and reminded the applicant that municipal site-plan thresholds (5,000 sq ft) determine review type.
Applicant Albert Kang and his attorney told the Planning Board they applied for and received an OCP (Office of Cannabis Policy) license and that the tenant began cultivating last spring. Kang said the license renewal process requires applications well before expiration and that a delay could cause renewal denial.
The board and counsel pressed for precise square-foot measurements to determine whether the combined structures, mobile home and garage put the operation above municipal thresholds that trigger major site review; Kang and staff gave rough estimates ranging from about 5,000 up to roughly 8,000–9,000 square feet. "Every license is allowed 1,500 square feet," Kang said when describing OCP permit categories, noting the state and municipal measurements operate under different rules.
