Once a registration application is considered complete, city staff shall inform <br />the applicant as such, and forward the application to the city council for <br />approval or denial within 30 calendar days. <br />4.

The applicant does not have a valid state-issued cannabis business license. <br />iii. The registration application is for a cannabis retailer, the retail location of a <br />cannabis microbusiness with a retail operations endorsement, or a retail <br />location of a cannabis mezzobusiness with a retail operations endorsement, <br />and: <br />A. The registration of the retail business would exceed the maximum <br />number of cannabis retail business registrations permitted under section <br />90-206(c)(2)f of this section. <br />B.
