A second business has started the process of establishing itself in Pendleton’s newly legalized marijuana market.

According to the Jan. 5 Pendleton Planning Commission agenda, the owners of Pendleton Cannabis will ask the commission for conditional use to start a recreational pot shop at 816 Southgate, formerly Premium Lube.

Pendleton Cannabis’ conditional use application states that Shawn Pace and Roalynn Pace of Pendleton will be the business owners.

In a letter to the commission, Shawn Pace wrote that the store would be 1,600 square feet with 1,400 square feet accessible to customers. The rest of the space would be used for office space, a server room and storage.

Pace wrote that any marijuana shipments to the store would be in air-tight containers and no consumption would be allowed on the premises, minimizing the odor.

The owners of Kind Leaf Pendleton, who announced that they would open a recreational marijuana store at 1733 S.W. Court Ave. a couple weeks ago, will also request conditional use from the planning commission at the same meeting.

The commission will determine whether Pendleton Cannabis and Kind Leaf Pendleton meet the city’s land use laws for marijuana businesses, which is part of a larger application process.

Both businesses will have to receive approval from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, pay a $1,550 licensing fee to the city and pass two separate background checks with the state and the city before they can open for operation.

The commission will meet Jan. 5 at 7 p.m. at the council chambers in city hall, 500 S.W. Dorion Ave.
