Courtesy Review with Justice Cannabis Company for Proposed Bloc Recreational Cannabis Dispensary at 676 South Rand Road (Trustee Bobrowski) Summary: Justice Cannabis Company is proposing to open a Lake Zurich adult- use recreational dispensary at the former TGI Friday’s restaurant at 676 South Rand Road, pending Special Use Permit authorization from the Village Board. Botavi Wellness, LLC, doing business as Justice Cannabis Company with the store brand Bloc Dispensary, received four State licenses during the lotteries that were conducted during summer 2021. In December 2020, the Village Board approved zoning regulations to allow cannabis dispensaries via a Special Use Permit in non-residential zoning districts and to formalize restrictions on the location, design and operations of such businesses. A Special Use Permit can only be issued via Ordinance by the Village Board after a Public Hearing process at the Planning and Zoning Commission. The cannabis zoning regulations approved by the Board in December 2020 require cannabis dispensaries to be a minimum of 500 feet from a school, library, day care or group home; 250 feet from a park, and 1,500 feet away from another dispensary. The subject property at 676 South Rand Road meets all of these zoning criteria. The zoning regulations include references to the applicable State statutes that apply to this highly-regulated industry, such as security, storage and transportation requirements. The ordinance also references the State statute for hours of operation, which are currently set at 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Lake Zurich’s 3% local sales tax on the gross receipts generated from this recreational dispensary is expected to generate $200,000 - $360,000 in new tax revenue, which is roughly equal to the $350,000 in annual sales tax lost by the Peapod closure in Quarter 1 of 2020. Justice Cannabis Company intends to appear before the Planning and Zoning Commission at a Public Hearing in October or November 2021. Recommended Action: This is a non-voting item at this time. The developer and Village Staff seek to understand the Board’s preferences towards the proposed use at this site. 9.
