As a result of this change, <br />the State Liquor and Cannabis Board is proposing new regulations for retail marijuana stores and marijuana <br />cooperatives, including the number of retail establishments that will be allowed in each city or county. <br />Under the previous rule, Everett is allowed to have a maximum of five stores. Under the new regulations, <br />Everett would be allowed to have up to ten stores. There are four stores currently operating in the City; a <br />fifth is in the permit process. <br />On March 1, 2016, the Plamling Commission held a public hearing to consider allowing at least five, but <br />potentially less than a total of ten stores in Everett. <br />RI✓CGTi\1FLNiD1TrQ v (EXact action requested of Council): <br />`t J1�L.?l l'C Sl ll! lall_J �i1_7.11t on <br />Lhe 1:1111i� l `1 1CL�I11�1i l�i c.1lC- =Lo' 11 Ll tj Cl E� LL_ F1Q <br />T ti 1J <br />u,-�- <br />i7 <br />
