In 2016,the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3846-16,which <br /> established a limit on the number of recreational marijuana retail stores to not more than five. The ordinance <br /> provided for a review by City Council within two years to determine if the number of permitted stores should <br /> be increased. The Planning Commission held a public workshop and a public hearing on the City's current <br /> regulations, and recommends that the City Council amend the current regulations as follows: <br /> 1. Increase the permitted number of recreational marijuana retail stores from five to ten; and <br /> 2. Decrease the minimum required separation between recreational marijuana retail stores from two- <br /> thousand five-hundred feet to five-hundred feet. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Adopt Ordinance Amending Section C of Ordinance No. 3486-16 (EMC 19.39.145, as amended), Increasing <br /> the Number of Permitted Recreational Marijuana Retail Stores to Not More than Ten and Reducing the <br /> Required Separation Between Stores to Five-Hundred Feet. <br /> 1 <br />
