|
|
Greetings!
In the not-too-distant future, the City Council will consider the adoption of zoning regulations marijuana dispensaries in Pacifica. The Planning Commission will be making recommendations on this and has been considering the matter for some time and is close to finishing its work. The next consideration of the Planning Commission will take place on Monday, May 15 at 7pm in the City Council Chambers. It should be an interesting discussion. (See the
Staff Report on this item here.)
If you like coffee (or a related beverage) and would like to know your local police force better, your opportunity to combine the two is coming up. The next edition of “
Coffee With a Cop” will be held at Starbuck’s in the Fairmont Shopping Center from 9am – Noon on Friday, May 19. Setting aside some time to get to know those who help to keep our community safe is time well spent. I hope to see you there.
Please let me know if you have comments or questions, and
thank you for wanting to
Connect with Pacifica!
Best,
KEITH BRESKIN
Interim City Manager
