The renewal application does not meet the requirements of this section, or any <br />other applicable rule or law. <br />f. Suspension of registration. <br />1. Any violation of this section, or any applicable rule or law, shall be deemed to be an <br />administrative offense of the registration holder, and the registration holder shall be <br />subject to the administrative penalties set forth in the city fee schedule for cannabis <br />businesses. The administrative penalty amount shall be calculated against all offenses <br />occurring within a 36 consecutive month period from the date of the most recent violation. <br />Any violation having occurred beyond 36 consecutive months prior to the most recent <br />violation shall not be counted in terms of imposing the fee. Penalties shall be paid within <br />60 days of the time of issuance of the notice. <br />2. The City of Hugo may suspend a cannabis business registration, after notice and an <br />opportunity for hearing when reasonably available, if it violates a city ordinance or poses <br />an immediate threat to the health or safety of the public. The city shall promptly notify the <br />cannabis business in writing the grounds for the suspension. <br />3. The City of Hugo shall immediately notify the state office of cannabis management in <br />writing the grounds for the suspension, who shall in turn provide the city and cannabis <br />business a response to the complaint within seven calendar days, and perform any <br />necessary inspections within 30 calendar days. <br />4. The suspension of a cannabis business registration may be up to 30 calendar days, unless <br />the state office of cannabis management suspends the license for a longer period. The <br />business may not make sales to customers if their registration is suspended. The city may <br />reinstate a registration if it determines that the violation(s) have been resolved. The city <br />shall reinstate a registration if the state office of cannabis management determines that <br />the violation(s) have been resolved. <br />5. Subject to Minn. Stat. § 342.22, subd. 5(e), the city may impose a civil penalty, as specified <br />in the city fee schedule, for registration violations. The penalty shall not exceed the <br />maximum allowed by state law. <br />g. The City of Hugo shall limit the number of cannabis retail registrations to one registration for <br />every 12,500 residents. This limit shall include registrations for cannabis retailers and the retail <br />location(s) of a cannabis microbusiness or cannabis mezzobusiness. This limit shall not extend to <br />lower-potency hemp edible retailers and the retail location(s) of a medical cannabis combination <br />business. <br />(3) The City of Hugo shall complete at minimum one compliance check per calendar year of every <br />registered cannabis business that conducts retail sales of products to customers or patients, to assess if <br />the business meets age verification requirements, as required under Minn. Stat. § 342.22, subd. 4(b) <br />and Minn. Stat. § 342.24. <br />(4) Subject to all applicable state law, and cannabis licensing rules under Minn. Stat. ch. 342, a cannabis <br />business that holds more than one license type can perform all activities for which they are granted a <br />state-issued license, provided that the business meets all applicable conditions in this section and any <br />other applicable rule or law. <br />(5) Signs. <br />a. Cannabis businesses are limited to two exterior, on-site signs. <br />b. Signs shall consist only of the name and logo of the business.
