Changes of location.
Denver Revised Municipal Code § 6-220
in effectSec. 6-220. - Changes of location.
(a) In general. A licensee shall not change location of its license without prior approval from the manager. In addition to the requirements in this section, a change of location application for a medical or retail marijuana business shall comply with the same requirements for new marijuana business licenses, including by way of example: public hearing requirements, proximity restrictions, and location restrictions.
(b) Application requirements. All applications to change location of a medical or retail marijuana business license shall be made in the manner provided by the manager. In addition to information required by chapter 32 of this Code, the application shall contain any supplemental materials the manager deems necessary to implement or enforce this article V and the Colorado Marijuana Code.
(c) Corresponding state license. The manager shall not approve an application to change the location of a local medical or retail marijuana license unless the applicant produces written documentation from the state licensing authority approving the same change of location of the corresponding state license recorded upon the face of the local license, or a transition permit for the same.
(d) Transition permits. Once a change of location application has been approved by the manager, a licensee may not begin operating at the new location until operations have ceased at the former location. However, a licensee may temporarily operate at both the new location and former location if the licensee holds a valid transition permit from the state licensing authority, and in compliance with all state and local requirements.
(e) Change of location of marijuana stores. An application to change location of a medical or retail marijuana store license shall not be approved unless:
(1) All other medical or retail marijuana cultivation facility license(s) and medical or retail marijuana store license(s) at the former location likewise apply to change to the same new location; or
(2) All other medical or retail marijuana cultivation facility licenses(s) and medical or retail marijuana store license(s) at the former location are surrendered.
(f) Change of location of a marijuana cultivation facility. An application to change location of a medical or retail marijuana cultivation facility license shall not be approved unless:
(1) All other medical or retail marijuana cultivation facility license(s) and medical or retail marijuana store license(s) at the former location likewise apply to change to the same new location;
(2) All other medical or retail marijuana cultivation facility license(s) and medical or retail marijuana store license(s) at the former location are surrendered; or
