DCR CORE RECORD NO. 320089

The City of Los Angeles Department of Cannabis Regulation (DCR) is processing an annual retail license application for TrapCon LLC, led by applicant Nwora K. Okafor, to operate a commercial cannabis storefront. The project is located at 21410 W Nordhoff Street, Chatsworth, California, occupying a 920 square foot space previously used as Chi’s Smoke Shop. The operation is designated as a Social Equity Applicant (SEIA) project and is categorized as an environmentally benign infill project. It has been granted categorical exemptions from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 1 and Class 32, as it requires no new construction or expansion of the existing footprint. Operational requirements include daily business hours from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, staffed by two employees and one security guard per shift. The facility must implement a comprehensive security plan featuring surveillance systems, alarm monitoring, and a dedicated safe room for products and proceeds. All employees are required to complete standardized training through the DCR or LAPD within three months of hire, with refreshers every 24 months. Final issuance of the operating permit is contingent upon passing inspections and obtaining necessary clearances from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, the Los Angeles Fire Department, and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Approval is based on a compliance-driven process verifying adherence to the Los Angeles Municipal Code, specifically regarding application requirements, zoning, and social equity eligibility.
