® New Application ® New Onsite Consumption Endorsement Application (Retail Only)
AMCO has received a complete application for a marijuana establishment within your jurisdiction. This notice
is required under 3 AAC 306.025(d)(2). Application documents will be sent to you separately via ZendTo.
To protest the approval of this application pursuant to 3 AAC 306.060,you must furnish the director and the
applicant with a clear and concise written statement of reasons for the protest within 60 days of the date of
this notice, and provide AMCO proof of service of the protest upon the applicant. If the protest is a
"conditional protest"as defined in 3 AAC 306.060(d)(2) and the application otherwise meets all the criteria set
forth by the regulations,the Marijuana Control Board may approve the license, but require the applicant to
show to the board's satisfaction that the requirements of the local government have been met before the
director issues the license.
3 AAC 306.010,3 AAC 306.080, and 3 AAC 306.250 provide that the board will deny an application for a new
license if the board finds that the license is prohibited under AS 17.38 as a result of an ordinance or election
conducted under AS 17.38 and 3 AAC 306.200, or when a local government protests an application on the
grounds that the proposed licensed premises are located in a place within the local government where a local
zoning ordinance prohibits the marijuana establishment, unless the local government has approved a variance
from the local ordinance.
This application will be in front of the Marijuana Control Board at our January 31"-February 1", 2024,
meeting.
Sincerely,
