ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — JANUARY 12, 2026 10 6. Not more than 10% of the building's floor area may be used for office use. Councilmember Holden reported she has received several questions from residents. She asked if any additional security was required for this warehouse in Arden Hills. Community Development Director Reilly explained all State requirements must be met to ensure the property is secure. Councilmember Holden inquired how odor control would be addressed on this property. Community Development Director Reilly indicated the State has requirements for cannabis businesses when it comes to odor control and this business will have to meet these requirements in order to receive a permit from the State. Mayor Grant reported it was his understanding cannabis will be shipped to this warehouse. He asked if the cannabis will be shipped in bulk and then be sorted and packaged, or will it already be packaged. Community Development Director Reilly explained the cannabis items would already be packaged before arrival at the building and would leave the site in the same packaging. Mayor Grant questioned how much of the building would be used for the cannabis warehousing. Community Development Director Reilly stated up to 57,000 square feet of the building could be used for the cannabis warehousing. Councilmember Weber clarified that the City was designating a use and a business was not proposing to use up to 57,000 square feet of warehouse space at this time. Community Development Director Reilly reported this was the case. He noted all future users would have to be vetted and approved by the State of Minnesota.
