A proposal to open a retail cannabis business in the Joseph’s restaurant space in Oak Park Heights will be heard by the city’s planning commission on Thursday night.
The business, which would be located at 14608 60th St. N., would be known as Mango Cannabis, according to a staff memo.
“The retail dispensary will be in the Joseph’s restaurant space, where it is proposed to occupy the entire building,” the staff memo states. “It is expected that the restaurant will move to a different location in the area.”
Joseph’s owner Sam Leon did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
The application for a conditional-use permit to operate the business was submitted by Kevin Pattah, of ABJKM Holdings, and Boundary Waters Capital.
The property is zoned B-2 General Business District, and cannabis retailers are allowed as a conditional use in the B-2 General Business District, according to the memo.
Boundary Waters Capital has received preapproval from the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management for a microbusiness license, which allows for both growing and sales of cannabis products.
“The B-2 District only allows for a cannabis retailer and no growing operations,” the staff memo states. “A condition will be placed limiting the allowed use.”
The planning commission will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday at Oak Park Heights City Hall.
