The #Wildomar #City Council has approved a Conditional Use Permit for a new #cannabis dispensary
The #Wildomar City Council #voted 3-2 to approve The #Cake House dispensary's request to open a second location. Mayor Pro Tem Ashlee DePhillippo and Councilmember Carlos Marquez opposed the proposal.
#Mayor Bridgette Moore emphasized that approving the #dispensary was necessary to avoid potential lawsuits, stating, “This is a legal #business, just like any other in #California.”
The new dispensary, The Cake House East, will be located at the northeast corner of Clinton Keith Road and the I-15 Freeway in the #future Catt Crossings Retail Center. The city expects to receive approximately $200,000 annually for the general fund over the first five years, totaling around $1 #million .
DePhillippo opposed the project, reflecting her constituents' sentiments against cannabis sales in the city. “My residents in District 5 don’t want this,” she noted.
Marquez found his decision challenging, expressing concerns about whether a dispensary was the best use of the property. “It’s about balancing #revenue with the desires of the community,” he said.
With this approval, the council has now authorized four dispensaries on Clinton Keith Road, though only two are currently operating.
