I found a hearing transcription that indicated the move. What was interesting was one of the commenters stated that no one location could have 2 (same type) licenses. I wonder if one will be active at this location and they will try to reroute the other to another location within Pueblo County.
Transcription
• Approval of Hearing Officer Findings and Order for a Retail Marijuana Cultivation Facility located at 428 South McCulloch Boulevard, Unit B, Pueblo West, Colorado 81007 submitted by Jag Farms, LLC.
• Approval of Hearing Officer Findings and Order for a Medical Marijuana Cultivation Facility located at 428 South McCulloch Boulevard, Unit B, Pueblo West, Colorado 81007 submitted by Terps, LLC dba Terps.
Mr. Rice stated that he does not have a problem with the Hearing Officer Findings, but he is concerned with the Order to have a 100-day window, and if the licensees can find a new premises and get everything done the non-renewal is vacated.
Ms. Long explained that the application was complex and gave further details. She stated that the Hearing Officer’s decision is that the licensees have 120 days to comply with all the requirements and submit their new, complete application. If they do not meet those requirements, the renewal will be denied.
Mr. Rice expressed his concerns with taxes not being paid and two licenses occupying the same premises.
Ms. Long clarified that that [two licenses occupying the same premises] was an oversight caused by previous decisions made within the County.
The current rules do not allow for two licenses in the same location. They are required to relocate so the licenses are at two separate locations.
Mr. Reyes asked if the landlord has locked the licensees out.
Ms. Long responded yes and gave further details. She added that if the licensees complete the requirements in 120 days, that is only allowing for their renewal application to be accepting, not granting a renewal. There is not complete application at this stage.
Mr. Rice asked what the Board needs to do to look at the licenses in regard to the payment of taxes.
Ms. Stringer stated that the licensees haven’t paid taxes since April of 2019, but she does not believe that they have been in operation since then.
Discussion occurred regarding a license being operational versus invalid.
Mr. Rice informed Chairperson Treanor that he would like to withdraw his objection to the Hearing Officer Findings and Order for Jag Farms, LLC and Terps, LLC dba Terps.
Ms. Long informed the Board that if they agree with the Hearing Officer decision, they would vote to affirm it. That would ratify the decision and the 120 days [for Jag Farms, LLC and Terps, LLC dba Terps] would start on the date of the signature from the Hearing Officer, which was September 10, 2020.
Discussion occurred.
Mr. Casaus motioned to affirm the Hearing Officer Findings and Order for Jag Farms, LLC and Terps, LLC dba Terps.
Mr. Reyes seconded the motion.
The motion carried unanimously. Discussion occurred regarding a training meeting for the Board. Ms. Robinson motioned to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Casaus seconded the motion.
The motion carried unanimously.
