2007 to allow for additional signage and again in 2012 to allow for the construction of a drive -up window for the existing pharmacy located within the building and associated signage. A Conditional Use Permit was also issued for the drive -up window use. Proposed Use: The Applicant, Cub Discount Liquor, submitted a Conditional Use Permit application to allow for the sales of lower -potency hemp edible sales as a conditional accessory use on the Subject Property, within Cub Discount Liquor, which occupies 1,724 square feet of the building. The Applicant holds a liquor and tobacco license issued by the City. The Applicant intends to offer a limited selection of lower -potency hemp edible products that will be sold utilizing a multi - prompt sales process including ID scanning, in line with the company policy for all alcohol sales. Customers will also be prompted to confirm that they are aware they are purchasing a product containing THC. The products would be available for purchase within the Cub Discount Liquor store and would not be sold in the Cub Foods grocery store or Cub Pharmacy. Employees at Cub Discount Liquor will have gone through THC awareness training and are encouraged to ask or refer questions to the store managers, who will receive additional off -site training. Approvals: 1. Conditional Use Permit A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for the conditional accessory use of lower -potency hemp edible sales. Lower -potency hemp edible sales shall be a Conditional Accessory use only permitted in the B-2 General Business, B-3 Service Business, B-4 Retail Business, NB Neighborhood Business and GB Gateway Business Zoning Districts where the principal use is Retail Sales & Service, Restaurant, or Service Station, the business has a liquor or tobacco license issued by the City, and when such accessory use is clearly incidental to the principal use. City Code Section 1355.04 Subd. 3 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code lists the criteria for evaluating a Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission and City Council should consider the effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the owners and occupants of the surrounding land and the community, in general, including but not limited to the following factors: 1. Existing and anticipated traffic and parking conditions; 2. Noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid or solid waste, and other nuisance characteristics; 3. Drainage; 4. Population density; 5. Visual and land use compatibility with uses and structures on surrounding land; 6. Adjoining land values; 7. Park dedications where applicable; 8. Orderly development of the neighborhood and the City within the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City. Under state law, a conditional use is a use that is generally allowed in a designated district upon the applicant showing that the standards and criteria stated in the ordinance will be satisfied. Conversely, if the applicant is unable to show that the ordinance standards are met, the application can be denied, but because the use is listed as permitted, the City's discretion is more limited in these matters than in a comprehensive plan or rezoning application.
