SUBJECT
Title
Adoption of a Resolution Rescinding Approval of a Commercial Cannabis Permit - Vista Development Enterprises
End
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the City Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) rescinding approval of a commercial cannabis permit for Vista Development Enterprises to operate a cannabis distribution business in Hayward, based on the information provided in this report.
End
SUMMARY
Vista Development Enterprises was approved for issuance of a commercial cannabis permit for distribution. Subsequently, City staff has received information indicating that Vista is associated with an individual who was recently arrested by the Hayward Police Department for illegal cannabis cultivation. Vista did not disclose this individual’s involvement with Vista during the application review process. This was an omission of material information that affected the outcome of Vista’s application and justifies the City Council rescinding the prior approval.
