Dear Honorable City Council and City Staff,
There is a necessary correction to consent item 1O on the March 14, 2024, agenda.
There was a consensus amongst City Council at the Feb 29th meeting that no dispensary owner
should have more than (3) Palm Springs dispensary licenses (see video 1:28:57 - 1:33:57).
However, the March 14 staff report proposes a limit of (2).
The reasoning discussed was that there’s one owner with (2) operating dispensaries, with a 3rd
in progress, and therefore it would be unfair to limit other owners to any less than (3)
dispensaries.
Please see staff report page 5, paragraph 3, for the necessary corrections, which I’ve
highlighted here:
“An adult-use cannabis permit shall not be issued or transferred to any person who is the
owner of, or has a financial a financial interest in, two dispensary cannabis businesses
operating in the City or who has obtained two dispensary cannabis permits to operate in the
City.”
Respectfully,
Steven Wijatyk
