Cannabis Manufacturing Facility Proposed for 300 West 83rd Street Gets First Hearing

TLDR: A company called 14,444 Confections LLC wants to make cannabis products inside an existing office/warehouse building at 300 West 83rd Street. The Planning Commission has opened a public hearing on the conditional use permit the project needs, and no vote has been reported.

The proposed cannabis facility at 300 West 83rd Street now has a named applicant. A city public hearing notice identifies the business as 14,444 Confections LLC, which is asking for a conditional use permit to run a cannabis manufacturing facility inside an existing office/warehouse building at the address. The city filed the request as case #PL2026-84.

The city's notice set the Planning Commission hearing for July 9, 2026, at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Civic Plaza. When the hearing opened, city staff described the project as a cannabis and hemp manufacturing and distribution facility. They said the site is in an I-3 industrial zone, with a mix of homes and industrial uses around it.

Staff began presenting a conditional use permit application for a cannabis/hemp manufacturing and distribution facility at 300 West 83rd Street, in an I-3 industrial zone surrounded by mixed residential and industrial uses.07/09

That mix of neighbors is why this step matters. In this district, the use requires a conditional use permit, so it can't just move in by right. The commission has to decide whether manufacturing and distribution can work at this particular building, and it can attach conditions if it approves the permit.

Some details are still missing. The available meeting recording cuts off partway through the staff presentation, before any public testimony and before commissioners deliberated. So far there's no report of who spoke for or against the proposal, what conditions staff recommended, or how the commission voted.

This is also not the only cannabis manufacturing request the city has noticed. The city published a separate hearing notice for a conditional use permit for a cannabis manufacturing facility in an existing industrial building at 8200 Grand Ave. S.

Questions or comments on the 300 West 83rd Street case go to city planner Liz O'Day, the contact named in the hearing notice, at 952-563-8919 or [email protected]. We'll update this story once the commission's decision or any further hearing date is on the record.

From the meeting: Planning Commission Meeting, July 9, 2026.
