PUBLIC HEARINGS
3. Coborn’s Inc – Special Use Permit #2024-26 – Cannabis Sales – 225 33rd St W.
Duggan provided a summary of the request for a Special Use Permit to allow Cannabis
Retail Sales at Coborn’s Inc at 225 33rd St W. Within Hastings zoning code it shows that
with a Special Use Permit, in districts zoned C-3 and C-4, it can be approved, but they
also must obtain a business license, which is required through City Code Chapter 117.
Duggan states that at this time, Coborn’s has not had their security plan approved as
the store has not contacted us to inspect the premise. Coborn’s is still waiting on
installation of the proper storage solution for the products. If the inspection has been
conducted the City Council may review the request on July 1st or if we are still waiting
it will be pushed to another meeting. Duggan continues by explaining the performance
standards and important prohibited acts when cannabis is involved.
Chair Messina opened the public hearing at: 7:04 p.m.
Chair Messina closed the public hearing at: 7:04 p.m.
Commissioner McGrath asks if there are any concerns we have with the security plan not
being completed yet and what is the delay.
Duggan explains that Coborn’s is waiting on the proper storage before conducting the
security plan.
Hinzman follows up by explaining that it isn’t unusual to not have the plan yet, but it will
need to be in place prior to sale.
Commissioner Peter’s motioned to approve the Special Use Permit subject to the
requirements listed as well as the pending security plan, seconded by commissioner
LeBrun.
