BERKELEY POT DISPENSARY'S PLANNED MOVE ANGERS DEVELOPER

A medical marijuana outfit plans to move to the former Scharffen Berger chocolate building in booming West Berkeley, but a developer who owns 22 buildings in the area is warning the city that he will sue if that happens.

Berkeley Patients Group, a nonprofit operating in the city for 10 years, wants to lease the 28,000-square-foot building at the corner of Heinz Avenue and Seventh Street next to the new Berkeley Bowl West supermarket.

Wareham Development recently sent the city a letter threatening to sue, and the City Council will take up the matter during a closed session Tuesday.
