  2. Submit Part A of the marihuana facility application to the City of Battle Creek.
    1. If the facility will be located in a T3 district, the applicant must apply for a Special Use Permit before submitting Part A of the marihuana application.
  3. If the application is approved, a 90-day conditional approval permit is issued.
    1. Within 90 days after receiving the conditional approval permit, the applicant must obtain site plan approval and apply for building permits.
  4. If the site plan and building permits are approved, a continuation of the 90-day permit is granted. The applicant should begin facility construction/build-out.
  5. After construction is complete, the applicant must request and receive a certificate of occupancy.
  6. The applicant has 90 days after the certificate of occupancy is issued to obtain the final state license and submit the City of Battle Creek Part B application and supporting documents.
