PLANNING REPORT
TO: Jacob Rife
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: October 23, 2025
RE: Oak Park Heights — Conditional Use Permit for a Cannabis Retail
Dispensary — 14608 60th Street North
TPC FILE: 236.02 — 25.05
BACKGROUND
Kevin Pattah of ABJKM Holdings, LLC (Owner) / Boundary Waters Capital LLC
(Applicant) has made application for a Conditional Use Permit for a cannabis retail
dispensary at 14608 60th Street North. The retail dispensary will be in the Joseph's
restaurant space, where it is proposed to occupy the entire building. It is expected that
the restaurant will move to a different location in the area. The business would be
known as Mango Cannabis.
Section 1413 of the City Code regulates the operation of cannabis and hemp
businesses, and Section 401.18 of the Zoning Ordinance addresses the zoning
requirements for cannabis and hemp business operations.
The Planning Commission, at their October 9, 2025, meeting held a public hearing and
recommended the application for the Conditional Use Permit with conditions.
The review is based upon the following submittals:
Exhibit 1: Planning Report with Exhibits — October 1, 2025
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project narrative is found in Exhibit 1. The introduction to the narrative that
provides an overview is as follows:
ABJKM is the real estate holding company that currently holds the lease with an option
to buy agreement with L&F Holdings LLC for the property located at 14608 60th Street
North Oak Park Heights, Minnesota. It is our understanding that the Conditional Use
Permit stays with the property for at least one year and as such will remain in effect
Page 44 of 57
while ABJKM Holdings completes the required construction updates laid out in our site
plans.
Boundary Waters Capital, LLC will be the licensee holder at the same property, holds a
preliminary approval, and will lease the property from the real estate holding company
once all OCM and Oak Park Heights requirements are met including completion of
upgrades and gaining a full license from OCM, Boundary Waters Capital LLC has
submitted a retail registration to the City of Oak Park Heights with the understanding
that it will not be processed until the CUP is approved by the City Council.
The business will operate responsibly and professionally, with a strong emphasis on
community safety, regulatory compliance and minimal impact on surrounding properties.
CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION
The City Council should consider the application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a
cannabis retail dispensary at 14608 60'" Street North. If the City Council is favorable to
the request, it should consider the following conditions below and in the draft
Resolution:
1. The business operations shall be limited to retail cannabis product sales with no

Hello Julie Holtman,
This email is pursuant to our recent phone conversation. I oppose the opening of a
marijuana dispensary in the building, which had been Josephs Restaurant. We already
have 2 facilities of that nature in close proximity to the NuView building that my
psychological clinic is within and also Youth Service Bureau, at 6120 Oren Ave. N.. Both
practices are instrumental in being helpful to clients with substance abuse and mental
health concerns. In my opinion, as a mental health provider, we are overloaded with
dispensaries in such close proximity.
I vote No to granting permission to allow yet another dispensary opening up within blocks
of each others, and especially not next to 2 healing clinics that treat mental health and
substance abuse issues. We already have a dispensary across the street of an Adolescent
Chemical Dependency Treatment Center, which is close to the Lucky's gas station. Also,
we have a homeless shelter opening up close to the already existing marihuana
dispensaries, and we have evidence that at least 25% in homeless shelters, emergency
shelters are wrestling with serious substance abuse. I plan on coming to the meeting on
Thursday evening and I wish we would have gotten notice sooner. Can we at least post
pone this and see how the other 2 close dispensaries affect the community? When I
google negative consequences of such an establishment, google stated crime goes up by
them. We must ask ourselves, does such an establishment contribute positively to
the culture for Oak Park Heights?

To Whom it May Concern,
I am a Registered Nurse double Board certified in Emergency Room and Operating Room
Nursing with multiple degrees. Knowing my background, I sincerely hope you will take my
comments into serious consideration.
I am unable to attend the meeting tonight as I just found out about this issue and could not
cancel my other plans.
I am expressing opposition to granting any permits for marijuana dispenseries in the
proposed locations. I know the laws though and am not reinventing the wheel by
discussing why recreational marijuana should not have been legalized. Although all
professional medical organizations have stated their opposition to recreational marijuana.
My objection is the poor choices of locations. Being near a homeless shelter, 2 prisons,
mental health clinics, a hospital, schools and churches is not an appropriate place. To say
nothing of being so close to a family friendly community to raise children. Grant the permit
if you must but not in the locations requested. Please consider the negative complications
making any decisions and the future of the wonderful city of Oak Park Heights. Allowing the
financial gain from the business owner requesting appears to take precedence over the
Mission Statement of Oak Park Heights. Businesses near will also be impacted. Please
consider other locations. Residents of Oak Park Heights need to have involvement in this
issue. No one seems to know about it. It will impact them greatly.
And please do not grant the 4 you are allowed to. 1 is enough.
Thank you for you consideration.

RE: Oak Park Heights — Conditional Use Permit for a Cannabis Retail
Dispensary — 14608 60th Street North
TPC FILE: 236.02 — 25.05
BACKGROUND
Kevin Pattah of ABJKM Holdings, LLC (Owner) / Boundary Waters Capital LLC
(Applicant) has made application for a Conditional Use Permit for a cannabis retail
dispensary at 14608 60th Street North. The retail dispensary will be in the Joseph's
restaurant space, where it is proposed to occupy the entire building. It is expected that
the restaurant will move to a different location in the area. The business would be
known as Mango Cannabis.
Section 1413 of the City Code regulates the operation of cannabis and hemp
businesses, and Section 401.18 of the Zoning Ordinance addresses the zoning
requirements for cannabis and hemp business operations.
The review is based upon the following submittals:
Exhibit 1: Project Narrative
Exhibit 2: Preliminary License Approval — Minnesota Office of Cannabis
Management — June 6, 2025

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project narrative is found as Exhibit 1. The introduction to the narrative that
provides an overview is as follows:
ABJKM is the real estate holding company that currently holds the lease with an option
to buy agreement with L&F Holdings LLC for the property located at 14608 60th Street
North Oak Park Heights, Minnesota. It is our understanding that the Conditional Use
Permit stays with the property for at least one year and as such will remain in effect
while ABJKM Holdings completes the required construction updates laid out in our site
plans.
Boundary Waters Capital, LLC will be the licensee holder at the same property, holds a
preliminary approval, and will lease the property from the real estate holding company
once all OCM and Oak Park Heights requirements are met including completion of
upgrades and gaining a full license from OCM, Boundary Waters Capital LLC has
submitted a retail registration to the City of Oak Park Heights with the understanding
that it will not be processed until the CUP is approved by the City Council.
The business will operate responsibly and professionally, with a strong emphasis on
community safety, regulatory compliance and minimal impact on surrounding properties.
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Adjacent Uses. Uses adjacent to the subject site include Highway 36 to the south,
and commercial development to the east, north and west.
Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Commercial on the Proposed
Land Use Map. Use of the site as a retail use is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
Zoning. The property is zoned B-2 General Business District. Section 401.30.E.12 of
the Zoning Ordinance lists cannabis retailers as a conditional use in the B-2 General
Business District. Boundary Waters Capital LLC has received preapproval from the
Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management for a microbusiness license. The definition
of microbusiness allows for both growing and sales of cannabis products. The B-2
District only allows for a cannabis retailer and no growing operations. A condition will
be placed limiting the allowed use. The criteria for review of a conditional use are found
as follows:
Conditional Use Permit Criteria. The conditional use permit criteria, found in Section
401.03.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance, are found as follows:
1. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the municipal comprehensive plan.
2. The conformity with present and future land uses in the area.
3. The environmental issues and geographic area involved.
4. Whether the use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
5. The impact on character of the surrounding area.
6. The demonstrated need for such use.
7. Traffic generation by the use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the property.
8. The impact upon existing public services and facilities including parks, schools, streets,
and utilities, and the City's service capacity.
9. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained herein (i.e.,
parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Comment: The Planning Commission should review the above criteria regarding the
request for the conditional use permits with this application. City Staff sees no issues
with the request as proposed.
The Applicant has provided the following comments regarding land use and the
conditional use permit:
• The proposed facility meets all zoning and buffering requirements set by local
ordinance.
• The property's main road location, ample parking, and commercial zoning make
it compatible with surrounding land uses.
■ With limited hours, strict access controls, and a professional security plan, the
facility will not negatively impact neighboring properties, public parks, or
community resources.
® All exterior modification to the building wall will obtain the necessary permits and
approvals from the city of Oak Park Heights in accordance with the standards
and conditions of the B-2 General Business District.
Regulation of Cannabis Businesses and Hemp Businesses. Section 1413 of the
City Code provides the process and registration of cannabis and hemp businesses.
This is the second application for this type of business in the City, and Section 1413.08
limits the number of cannabis businesses to four.
Cannabis Businesses and Hemp Businesses. Section 401.18 of the Zoning
Ordinance provides minimum buffer requirements, hours of operation, and regulations

any adjoining use or property, they shall not produce noxious or dangerous gases or
odors or otherwise create a danger to any person or entity in or near the facilities.
Comment: This will be a condition of approval.

Comment: A sign plan is discussed in the project narrative. The signs will need to
comply with all sign requirements, and a sign permit will be required. This will be a
condition of approval.
Lighting Section 401.18.E of the Zoning Ordinance provides the following requirement:
All lighting shall be shielded and angled in such a way as to prevent light from spilling
outside of the boundaries of the parcel(s) or premises or directly focusing on any
surrounding uses.
Comment. A lighting plan has been provided in the project narrative. All light fixtures
shall be full cut off and consistent with Section 401.15.B.7 of the Zoning Ordinance as it
relates to lighting requirements. This will be a condition of approval.

The building requires 11 stalls. The site currently has approximately 60 parking spaces.
There is a surplus of parking. In that no changes are to be made to the site or to the
building at this time, no process is required. If Design Guidelines and Site Plan review
is required at a later date with anticipated updates, the parking will be reviewed again.

Subject: Congratulations on receiving a preliminary license approval for MICRO-A25-001031
Dear Jonathon Marvin Pattah,
We are pleased to inform you that you have received preliminary license approval. Please note that you
have 18 months to obtain a cannabis business license upon receiving this notification.
Please be aware this notice does not convey license approval. Your application is moving forward, but
you are not yet authorized to conduct any of the activities for any license type. To continue the process
and receive your license, you must first complete the following steps:
1. Engage with local governments. Begin discussions with your local government early to
understand and meet all local requirements, including zoning, any necessary conditional use
permits, and retail registration (if applicable). You must secure a physical location that complies
with local zoning ordinances and update your application documents showing you are compliant
with all local requirements. You are strongly encouraged to do this at the earliest stage possible
before you invest in any location.
2. Submit final documents. Preliminarily approved applicants will submit final application materials
to OCM when they can demonstrate compliance with all applicable rules. The materials include
details about the site location, final operational documentation, and documentation of any
ownership changes, and are referred to as final plans of record. Links to complete online fillable
forms that will make up your final plans of record are at:
https: mn.gov ❑cm businesses licensing final-plan-of-record.jsp.
3. Once you have completed and submitted the online forms, you will receive PDFs of your final
plans of record via email that must be uploaded to the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM)
through Accela. OCM will forward your application to the local government indicated on your
application.
4. Local government zoning compliance certification. Local governments have 30 days to certify
that your application complies with zoning and land use ordinances. Important: be sure to engage
early with your local government so that you understand their timelines and process for local
zoning compliance certification. OCM recommends that preliminarily approved applicants wait
until all the required items for local approval have been met with their local government before
they submit their site registration. Additionally, be sure to remain in close communication with the
local government to ensure that they are prepared to review the application. Please review the
guidance for local governments regarding zoning compliance certification located here:
https: mn.gov/ocm/local-governments/localgovs.iap for awareness on what local governments
will be required to complete for this stage.
5. Site inspection. After receiving local zoning compliance certification, OCM will schedule a pre -
opening site inspection to verify that your physical location complies with all applicable laws and
rules.
6. Pay license fee. Upon a successful site inspection, you will be able to pay the required license fee
through Accela. Once payment is received, OCM will issue your cannabis business license with the
appropriate endorsements.
7. Retail registration (only for license types engaging in retail direct to consumers). If your
license involves retail sales, you must obtain a local retail registration from your local government
after you have received your cannabis business license. The approval process for this is determined
by the local government.
The licensing guidebook detailing the above steps is available on the OCM licensing webpage please
review the information carefully. The guidebook contains important information about how to
successfully complete the licensing process and also includes several suggestions about working on
securing local approvals for zoning compliance and local retail registration. You should also review
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 342 for more information about statutory requirements.
OCM does not provide legal or business advice. To the extent that you feel you may need such services,
you are encouraged to seek those out independently. Starting any business, including a cannabis
business, carries risk, and you should never invest more than you are willing to lose.
Visit rnn.gov ocm for more information and resources. If you have questions related to your application,
please contact the Licensing Division at ocm.licensingPstate.mn.us. When contacting the licensing email,
please include your application number at the beginning of the email subject line followed by the topic
(example: Application Number— Background Check).
Again, congratulations on reaching this milestone in your ongoing efforts to secure a cannabis business
license.
