Green Reserve Commercial Cannabis Business Permit Retail Application (CAN-001020-2024)

The City of Santee has issued a commercial cannabis business permit application for Green Reserve to operate a retail cannabis facility at 10612 Prospect Ave within an existing multi-tenant industrial center in the Light Industrial (IL) Zone. The project involves converting up to 3,500 square feet of pre-existing industrial space with improvements including new interior and exterior paint, upgraded exterior lighting, landscaping, and the installation of video surveillance systems, all confined within the current building footprint on a 0.37-acre lot. The application is governed by the Santee Municipal Code Chapter 7.04 and has been evaluated under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as eligible for a categorical exemption under Class 3, Section 15303, which applies to the conversion of small structures without significant environmental impact. No exceptions under Section 15300.2 were identified, and the applicant submitted a Preliminary Exemption Assessment and Location Map as required attachments. The solicitation number is CAN-001020-2024, posted on August 28, 2025, with the application process closed on the same date following public hearings held in July and August 2025. The primary point of contact is Rachael Lindebrekke, Associate Planner with the City of Santee, and the applicant is Ilham Polis of Green Reserve doing business as East County Prospect LLC. The project does not involve federal procurement, and no Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, DFARS provisions, or federal contracting mechanisms such as ACRN, TAS, or UEI are applicable or present. There is no specified contract value, pricing details, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or invoicing procedures, as this is a municipal permit issuance rather than a federal procurement contract. The permit approval is contingent upon compliance with local zoning, building, electrical, and safety codes, and the final inspection and acceptance are conducted by the City of Santee at the project site. No federal certifications, socioeconomic status claims, or corporate representation statements were provided, and the application process relies exclusively on state and local compliance mechanisms through the CEQAnet portal and physical submissions to the Planning & Building Department at 10601 Magnolia Avenue, Santee, CA 92071.
