Councilmembers Tuohy and Roberts have requested that the Legal Department draft an ordinance <br /> to address these concerns.This Ordinance attempts to accomplish this task. <br /> The Ordinance is not intended to establish new obligations upon the three existing marijuana retailers within the City, <br /> but is intended to apply to the potential siting of the two additional marijuana retailer applicants currently seeking <br /> licenses from the Washington State Liquor Control Board.While the Ordinance is not presented as an emergency <br /> ordinance, Staff recommends that the first and second readings be combined.This approach will allow the Ordinance <br /> to be adopted in an expeditious manner and will provide the remaining applicants with as much prior notice as is <br /> possible while they continue the process of siting their businesses. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council):Adopt an Ordinance modifying and renewing <br /> interim zoning regulations related to recreational marijuana businesses and amending Ordinance No. <br /> 3407-14. <br /> 1 <br />
