SUMMARY
Hayward Station is seeking Conditional Use Permit approval to establish a boutique, commercial cannabis retail dispensary within a vacant, dilapidated historic building in Downtown Hayward. The proposed retail dispensary would provide cannabis and cannabis-related products to the members of the public that are 21 years and older for recreational use, and 18 years and older for medical use. The proposed project includes a security plan, odor control plan and would include improvements to the retail tenant space and adjacent parking lot.
Activation of the space with a retail use and proposed façade and site improvements would energize the B Street commercial corridor, provided that the applicant treats the storefront appropriately, as conditioned.
