    The fact that parks, youth centers, and daycares are even on the chopping block should tell you everything. Reject this proposal. Our kids come first.

    Removing public input and protections near kids is the exact opposite of good policy. These decisions shape Sacramento’s future. Make the right choice. Vote no.

    CUPs are there to evaluate unique impacts. Not all locations are the same. Not all neighborhoods are the same. This is why the process exists. Don’t remove it.

    This proposal makes me question who the city is working for — the public or the cannabis industry? This isn’t “streamlining.” It’s eliminating our right to be heard. Opposed.

    As a church leader, I’m stunned. How can we hold Sunday school or youth programs next door to a cannabis lounge? That’s not the message we want to send.

    Sacramento, please do better. I want my children to grow up in a safe, healthy city. Putting dispensaries near youth centers and playgrounds is not the way forward.

    Removing sensitive use protections is a direct threat to children. We’re talking about putting weed shops next to schools and parks. Who approved this idea? Opposed.

    I’m not anti-cannabis, I’m pro-community. Every business has to play by rules. Removing CUP and sensitive use buffers is giving this industry a free pass. Not okay.

    Why is the city manager going against the Planning Commission’s recommendation? They listened to the people. This new proposal completely ignores the community voice. That’s unacceptable.

    This isn’t about cannabis access — it’s about placement and protection. Don’t put it next to youth, churches, or homes. Vote NO to these changes.

    Public hearings matter. Communities matter. Conditional use permits matter. Removing them silences the public. I strongly oppose this move.

    Do not allow cannabis businesses next to daycares. I run a licensed daycare. This would destroy my business. Parents would leave in a heartbeat. It’s irresponsible and dangerous.

    Our city is fighting so hard to improve safety and quality of life, especially for our kids. Removing safeguards like the CUP goes against everything we’ve worked toward. Keep protections in place.

    Scott Tripad at November 15, 2025 at 2:20pm PST

    Even alcohol sales require conditional use permits. Why on earth would cannabis not? It’s mind-blowing that this is even being considered. Please vote no.

    Linda Kuhl at November 15, 2025 at 2:18pm PST

    Churches, parks, youth centers, daycares — all up for grabs now? This is reckless. These places are sacred and should be protected. I oppose removing sensitive use protections.

    Jason Cado at November 15, 2025 at 2:16pm PST

    Keep the CUP in place. These protections exist for a reason. Every neighborhood is different and dispensaries bring unique impacts. The current process lets the public have a say. Don’t silence us.
