Title

Requested Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application submitted by Prairie Sky Enterprises LLC - Donavan Hakim & Justin Dunaskiss, to operate a cannabis microbusiness retail facility, located at 1551 South Kniss Avenue (20-1938-200), in H -C - Highway Commercial District, City of Luverne, Minnesota.

 

Body

Following the public hearing on August 5, the Planning Commission recommends approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow operation of a cannabis microbusiness retail facility at 1551 South Kniss Avenue, subject to specific conditions including off-street parking, screening for automobile headlights, odor control, exterior property maintenance, obtaining a state license for proposed business type, and compliance with all state and local regulations. Under Minnesota law, if an applicant meets all general and specific standards set forth in the city's zoning ordinance, the city is required to grant the CUP. The applicant for this cannabis retail establishment has satisfied all ordinance requirements, and therefore, the city council must approve the CUP as recommended by the Planning Commission. This ensures the city's actions are consistent with state law and local land use standards.
