The ordinance is effective for one year, and was <br /> intended to allow the City to monitor the impacts of recreational marijuana businesses before establishing <br /> more permanent regulations. To date,the City has very limited experience with recreational marijuana <br /> businesses. Only one business has been approved in the city and it is not yet open for business. In addition to <br /> this limited experience,there has been litigation over other municipalities' regulation of marijuana <br /> businesses, and there may be action in the upcoming State legislative session to merge the recreational <br /> marijuana and medical marijuana regulations. As a result,the Planning Commission has recommended that <br /> the City Council renew the interim regulations an additional six months,with a few changes highlighted in <br /> the attached draft ordinance. The intent is to review progress or developments within the coming six month <br /> period to determine if the interim regulations can be replaced with permanent regulations. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): Adopt Ordinance modifying and renewing <br /> interim zoning regulations related to recreational marijuana businesses. <br /> 5 <br />
