How to submit Delivery Permit – Sacramento, CA

Common mistakes to avoid

• Proposing a site within 600 feet of a school or of a neighborhood or community park; the checklist sets a 600-foot buffer, and sites near parks go to the Planning and Design Commission.
• Starting the BOP application without the CUP Record of Decision from the Planning Department.
• Submitting a Statement of Information that is not the most current or is two years old or more.
• Handing in an Owner's Statement of Consent that is not signed and notarized.
• Using a security and lighting plan or floor plan not prepared by the required professional: a qualified professional for security, a licensed civil engineer or architect for the floor plan.
• Submitting the BOP application without paying the fee; OCM reviews only applications that are both submitted and paid, and an application with no fee within 30 days becomes void.
• Letting 180 days pass without approval and without the extension fee and form, which makes the application "Abandoned".
• Expecting an OCM walk-through before the location has a Certificate of Occupancy, or on a day other than Thursday.
• Planning to operate as a courier or third-party delivery service; a delivery-only dispensary needs a brick-and-mortar location with a CUP and a BOP.
