Summary

The council followed the legislative hearing officer's recommendation to deny an appeal of a vacant building registration at 1047 Arcade Street but granted a 90‑day waiver; appellant said she plans to operate a licensed cannabis grow at the property and is working to complete permits.

The council adopted the legislative hearing officer's recommendation to deny ACMN Properties' appeal of a vacant‑building registration at 1047 Arcade Street but granted a 90‑day waiver for the owner to obtain a code compliance certificate.

Legislative hearing officer Morman recommended denying the appeal but offering a three‑month waiver contingent on the property completing required work and receiving a certificate of occupancy; she said the waiver period is counted from the beginning of the year under the city's legislative hearing rules. Appellant Angela Dawson, representing ACMN Properties and identifying herself as a licensed cannabis farmer, told the council she plans to rent the building for a licensed cannabis grow and has been working with city offices on the project: “I am actually planning on renting this property for a licensed cannabis grow that I am a licensed cannabis farmer.” The council adopted the hearing officer's recommendation and moved to the legislative hearing consent agenda approvals.
