West St. Paul may get its second cannabis shop as a proposal goes to the Planning Commission on March 17.
What: Camelot Cannabis is a marijuana shop proposed for the former Camelot Cleaners building on Smith and Bernard.
- The space has been empty since Camelot Cleaners closed in 2021. A redevelopment proposal for boutique apartments never materialized.
- With NativeCare Cannabis Dispensary opening later this week, Camelot Cannabis would be the second cannabis shop in West St. Paul. The city limited cannabis to two shops (the minimum allowed by state law), though NativeCare is exempt from that limit because it operates under a state compact with the Red Lake Nation.
- The proposal uses roughly half of the building, leaving the north half available for a potential second tenant.
- Drive thrus are not allowed under state law for cannabis shops, so Camelot Cannabis plans to demolish the drive thru canopy and remove the pick up window.
Process: The proposal will come before the Planning Commission on March 17 to consider a conditional use permit (CUP) and hold a public hearing.
- The plans need to comply with city code for hours and meet the parking minimum (it’s currently three spots short, but could be restripped with the removal of the drive thru).
- After Planning Commission it will come before City Council.
