(1) A permittee may change the business location specified in a retail cannabis business permit upon submission and approval of a change in location application promulgated, as a ministerial duty, by the city manager pursuant to regulations adopted under CMC 5.30.210 after two years following the issuance of a retail cannabis business permit. The permittee shall pay an application fee established by resolution of the city council to cover all costs incurred by the city in the review and processing of change in location applications.

(2) Upon submission of a change in location application by a permittee, the city manager shall, as a ministerial duty, complete processing of such change in location application. If a change in location application is incomplete or the proposed changed location contained therein does not comply with location and zoning requirements in CMC 5.30.060, the city manager shall, as a ministerial duty, deny the change in location application. If a change in location application is complete and the proposed changed location contained therein complies with location and zoning requirements in CMC 5.30.060 and this section, the city manager shall, in his or her sole discretion, approve or deny the change in location application. In the event the city manager denies a change in location application, the permittee may appeal the city manager’s denial to the city council pursuant to CMC 5.30.110.

(3) An applicant or permittee shall notify the city manager or designee(s) within 15 calendar days of any material change in the information provided in the applicant or permittee’s retail cannabis business permit application or any change in status of compliance with the provisions of this chapter, including any change in the cannabis retailer ownership or management.
