An existing MMJ licensee may elect to surrender its existing MMJ license(s) for the existing location conditioned on approval of an eligible new RMJ business license at the existing licensed location, however it is important to note that if an MMJ Store license is surrendered there would be no opportunity to replace or re-apply for an MMJ Store license in the future pursuant to City Code §2.2.104(D) – see location cap information below.
