Section 845-025-1175 - Changing, Altering, or Modifying Licensed Premises

(1) The Commission issues licenses with the expectation that the licensee will operate the business as proposed at the time of licensing. A licensee may not make any physical changes to the licensed premises that materially or substantially alter the licensed premises or the usage of the licensed premises from the plans originally approved by the Commission without the Commission's prior written approval.

(2) A licensee who intends to make any material or substantial changes to the licensed premises must submit a form prescribed by the Commission, and submit any information identified in the form to be submitted, to the Commission, prior to making any such changes.

(3) The Commission must review the form and other information submitted under subsection (2) of this rule, and will approve the changes if the changes would not result in an initial or renewal application denial under OAR 845-025-1115.

(4) If the Commission denies the change the licensee must not make the proposed changes. If the licensee makes the proposed changes, the licensee must surrender the license or the Commission will propose to suspend or revoke the license.

(5) If the Commission approves the change, the Commission may require a site inspection of the changed area and a modification of the licensee's security plan prior to the licensee exercising any license privileges.

(6) For purposes of this rule a material or substantial change requiring approval includes, but is not limited to:

(a) Any increase or decrease in the total physical size or capacity of the licensed premises;

(b) The sealing off, creation of or relocation of a common entryway, doorway, passage or other such means of public ingress or egress, when such common entryway, doorway or passage alters or changes limited access areas, such as the areas in which cultivation, harvesting, processing, or sale of marijuana items occurs within the licensed premises;

(c) Any physical change that would require the installation of additional video surveillance cameras or a change in the security system; or

(d) Any addition or change of location of a primary residence located on the same tax lot as a licensed premises.
