Central Tree Collective Inc

Central Tree Collective Inc. has been approved to operate a commercial cannabis retail storefront at 18532 Pasadena St., Lake Elsinore, California, within an existing building, with no expansion of the structure or change in its existing use. The facility will be divided into designated areas totaling 9,784 square feet: 4,892 square feet for Type P manufacturing, 2,860 square feet for distribution, 952 square feet for retail dispensary operations, and 1,080 square feet for ancillary functions. The project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15301, affirming that the minor interior improvements constitute a negligible environmental impact and are exempt from further environmental review under Section 15061(b)(3). The operation is authorized under California Business and Professions Code Division 10, Chapter 2, Section 26012, and must comply fully with all state regulations governing commercial cannabis activities. The California Department of Cannabis Control, through its Cultivation Licensing Branch, is the lead regulatory agency responsible for oversight, with Tia Heu, Environmental Scientist, serving as the primary point of contact. The application was submitted by February 24, 2025, and approval is conditional on adherence to licensing requirements and zoning compliance. No contract value, payment terms, invoicing methods, or federal acquisition regulations apply, as this is a state licensing action rather than a federal procurement. No federal contract clauses, FAR clauses, UEI or CAGE codes, socioeconomic certifications, or electronic submission portals are involved. All correspondence and submissions are handled by mail to the Department of Cannabis Control’s P.O. Box in Rancho Cordova, with additional filings required by the State Clearinghouse in Sacramento. The facility is expected to begin operations upon formal license issuance, with no defined performance period specified in the documentation.
