The Lake Elsinore City Council voted Tuesday, Nov. 10, to approve changes to a development agreement and a conditional use permit for an existing cannabis cultivation facility, allowing the business to increase its square footage and add manufacturing and retail dispensary uses.
Modern Leaf LLC will be allowed to increase the square footage of its existing facility at 31877 Corydon Road, Suite 120, from 2,074 square feet to 6,524 square feet and will no longer be limited to cultivation only.
The business is located near the corner of Corydon Road and Mission Trail on the south end of Lake Elsinore.
Justin Kirk, assistant director of Community Development, told the city council that the business’s application for a modified development agreement and modified conditional use permit were submitted in December 2019, and so did not conflict with a moratorium on new cannabis uses that was originally enacted in August 2020.
The city council voted unanimously to approve the changes.
