Administrative Design Review (PLAN-ADR-26-0006)

The City of Cathedral City has approved a modification to the existing floor plan of a cannabis facility originally permitted under CUP No. 16-020, dated September 21, 2016, to transition from a combined cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution operation to a cultivation use only. This change was formalized through Administrative Design Review PLAN-ADR-26-0006, which was posted on August 4, 2026, and reflects an administrative adjustment to the facility’s permitted activities without requiring a new conditional use permit. The alteration streamlines the facility’s operations by eliminating manufacturing and distribution functions while retaining its cultivation component, aligning with current zoning and regulatory expectations for cannabis operations within the city. The applicant for this modification is Steve Akopyan, who can be contacted at 818-209-0558 or steve.akopyan@outlook.com, and the primary point of contact for the City of Cathedral City is Planning Assistant Clarence Smith, reachable at 760-770-0358 or cdsmith@cathedralcity.gov. The project is located in Cathedral City, California, and is accessible through the California Environmental Quality Act database via the provided link. No solicitation number or NAICS code is associated with this administrative review, as it is not a procurement or contracting action but rather a land use and zoning adjustment. The approval signifies a refined operational scope for the facility, focused exclusively on cultivation under the original conditional use permit framework.
