Brandon Utke

This project involves the licensing and operation of a Retail Non-storefront cannabis business by Brandon Utke, managed by the California Department of Cannabis Control. The operation is located at 8880 Elder Creek Road, Sacramento, CA 95828, within a 39,873 square foot warehouse constructed in 1985. Specifically, 12,569 square feet of the facility are designated for the storage and distribution of cannabis products. The site features a paved parking lot and a gated perimeter. The project has been granted a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15301, as it utilizes an existing building without expansion and is compatible with local zoning. Environmental reviews indicate that the business will not have significant impacts on air quality, water, noise, or traffic. Administrative oversight is provided by the Department of Cannabis Control's Cultivation Licensing Branch, with Karin Linnen serving as the primary environmental scientist contact. The action is governed by the California Business and Professions Code, Division 10, Chapter 2, Section 26012.
