SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Continue to a date uncertain: Approve an amendment to the Community Development Code establishing a medical marijuana treatment use and applicable criteria and pass Ordinance 9042-17 on first reading. (TA2017-01001)
Body
SUMMARY:
This proposed ordinance would adopt local land use standards addressing medical marijuana treatment centers. Earlier this year the State Department of Health (DOH) released preliminary rules to comply with Amendment 2, which was effective January 3, 2017. The State Legislature failed to pass a bill during its regular session, thereby moving implementation of the amendment back to the DOH. Staff requested a continuance at the Community Development Board meeting on May 16, 2017, which they granted to allow time for the DOH to finalize its rules governing medical marijuana and to give staff time to address the rules in its proposed ordinance.
