Any Denver dispensaries hearing back from the city?

I'm asking because a lot of the dispensaries we work with are wondering. We know of one dispensary that submitted their application on the first day and is still waiting for the license.

Any word out there?

I called them up to see what sort of time frame I was looking at and they basically laughed at me and said "I have no idea, we have just begun inspections..."

But the way MMR is going, I wouldn't expect any speedy responses....

the dispensary that was #71 (not naming) in line just got a call two days ago and picked-up their signiture sheet today. but they were in before dec. 15th-so i wonder if they're doing all the ones they don't have to measure first-or if it doesn't take as long since someone doesn't have to come out and measure the zoning regulations first. I heard through the grape-vine that a lot of dispensaries in those old houses are zoned R4 and are getting calls that they failed and have to find a new place (ouch!). the other reason others are failing are incomplete applications or false/wrong information.

**edit**
I just scrolled downt he forums list and was surprised i didn't see The Denver Releaf Center post-they are one of the ones that failed. That I heard through word of mouth, so it's entirely possible not.

We have all signature's except Excise and License. Last one on the list. Put a call in a day ago, and haven't heard back yet.:thumbsup:

Huh. I hope that's not true about ReLeaf. I wonder what happened?

I have a client who had 1 inspection by Theresa who said they would come back out in 6 to 8 weeks. By the way, my understanding is Denver is the only city in the State to allow edibles? This apparently came from Carl at the city office. If you need a food license in Denver you can utilize a off premise kitchen for baking etc... FYI

How do you go about finding a kitchen to use?

Wait, so dispensaries can't be in a Residential zone? I don't know the zoning requirements... I just thought they had to have 1000' from each other and from schools, daycares, etc.
So, is it the case that dispensaries can't be in residential zones either? They must only be allowed in commercial/industrial zoned areas?

As far as I can see ReLeaf is still going at it! They've been updating their Twitter at least through yesterday. I don't see why they would be closed... although there is probably a school nearby. But these guys have been around for awhile and I'm sure they got grandfathered in last December when they allowed some dispensaries to slide...

Glad to hear that about them-they're nice people :)

yes...and you are not getting grandfathered in on residential zoning either. you HAVE to be zoned commercial or industrial and mixed use, which I believe is B2 has to meet certain requirements. But if you are zoned R# than you're done-you're not even getting grandfathered in. These dispensaries should know ahead of time anyway-as their building zoning # is on their right of use permit.

You can give somebody rep points and leave a message that way. That's the only way I know how to do it. ;)
