Re: Medicinal Marijuana Dispensary Inquiry
Dear Mr. Hamm:
Thank you for your December 10, 2010 letter requesting permit entitlement
information on opening a medicinal marijuana dispensary within the City of
Campbell. The Campbell City Council conducted review of this land use issue in
2008/2009. As a result of that review, the City included language in its zoning
code that prohibits any use that is inconsistent with either State or Federal Law.
Under this provision, a marijuana dispensary is a prohibited use in Campbell, as
it is still illegal under Federal Law.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me at (408) 866-
2141.
Sincerely
Paul Kermoyan

Dear Sir or Ms.:
This firm has been contacted by investors who are interested
in opening a medical marijuana dispensary there in the City of Campbell
and so, to that end, I would like to know what requirements they would
be looking at in order to obtain the appropriate permit(s) to conduct
such a business in your city and what city departments they would have
to get the appropriate clearances from (i.e., zoning rules, distance
from other type of businesses, land use restrictions, fire safety re-
quirements, permit fees, etc.). Any information, forms, and/or in-
structions you could give me in this regard would be appreciated.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours very truly,
Richard Hamm
