Torrey Pines Community Planning Board members and local residents shared a litany of concerns they have about another proposed cannabis business along Sorrento Valley Road during an April 8 online meeting of the planning board’s Project Review Committee.

The retail cannabis business under consideration, Cookies, would be located at 11330 Sorrento Valley Rd., near three existing cannabis businesses.
The community plan doesn’t prohibit cannabis businesses, but planning board members and residents who spoke during public comment said they don’t fit with the biotech and industrial character of the area. Some said the community plan should be amended to more unequivocally define that character for future projects.

Two additional businesses that make and distribute marijuana vaping cartridges and packaged cannabis products were approved by the Oceanside City Council last week.
Buddiez Manufacturing and Distribution received a conditional use permit to open its business in a building constructed in the 1960s on San Luis Rey Road near Airport Road and Mission Avenue. The site was a restaurant and bar for 50 years, but the building is now vacant and will be remodeled.
The small, family-owned company will have about five employees, said Mohamad “Moe” Saab, Buddiez’s community relations liaison, who owns the business with his brother Omar Saab. They expect to open by the end of this year and will distribute their products to other businesses throughout California.
