Ms. Valnette Garcia
Natural Healing Center - SLO
7510 Los Osos Valley Rd.
San Luis Obispo, CA 93405
Subject: Natural Healing Center Transfer of Ownership Request
This Letter is in response to Natural Healing Center, LLC (NHC) proposal to transfer ownership from
Nick Andre to Sylvan F. dayspring.
Since the last correspondence to NHC, the City has developed and implemented an administrative process
for operators to submit Transfer Ownership requests and a process for the City to review and make a
determination on Transfer of Ownership requests. In accordance with Section 9.10.250 of the City
ordinance, the City Manager, or his/her designee(s), is authorized to promulgate all administrative
regulations necessary to implement the requirements and fulfill the purposes and policies of the City’s
cannabis regulations. Please find the Administrative Regulations for Transfer of Ownership Requests
here.
In accordance with Transfer of Ownership Administrative Regulations and based on the correspondence
NHC sent to the City May 4, 2021, please follow the Transfer of Ownership process for External
Transfers. While the City acknowledges NHC has previously sent the City a Transfer of Ownership
request, the City requires NHC to resubmit the Transfer of Ownership request in line with the process and
documentation required in the Administrative Guidelines.
Likewise, Section 9.10.120 B.1 allows for the City to request all operators submitting transfer of
ownership requests to pay all applicable fees and charges. Because NHC is requesting an External
Transfer, NHC will need to submit a transfer deposit of $9,897.18. The City will track staff hours and
materials when making determinations on transfer of ownership requests and at the time the City issues a
determination, the operator will either be charged for additional time and materials or refunded the
remainder of the deposit. To submit the Transfer of Ownership Deposit please schedule an appointment
with Jacob Nunez from the Finance Department, who can be reached at 805-781-7148 or
jnunez@slocity.org.
Please let me know if you have any questions in regard to the Administrative Regulations or Transfer of
Ownership process.
