  5. EPublic hearing: cannabis zoning ordinance

    The commission held a public hearing on a cannabis zoning ordinance and discussed retail registration, zoning districts, buffers, indoor cultivation, hours, and how conservative the recommendation should be before City Council review.

    The commission held a public hearing and discussion on a zoning ordinance for cannabis businesses. The discussion focused on starting conservatively before the January 1 deadline, including lower-potency hemp edible retailers in the cannabis retail business definition, leaving the retail registration language for final City Council handling, checking whether retail hours can be limited to Monday through Saturday, requiring cultivation, manufacturing, processing, testing, and storage to occur inside a completely enclosed building, and asking whether industrial operations can be limited to about 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. if legally allowed. The transcript records that the public hearing was closed and the commission carried a motion to recommend the ordinance with the planner's stated changes for council review.
