In my research, there is only <br /> one other city I could find that allows fewer stores than the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board. That is <br /> Renton, and they allow 5 stores while the WSLCB would allow 6. Neither the State law, nor the City's ordinance require <br /> any separation between a retail store and a church. The City can establish separation requirements for land uses <br /> besides those identified by State law. <br /> As for competition problems, I am not clear if you mean police impacts, or something else. The Police Department <br /> report on the calls for service in areas around the existing retail marijuana stores, in comparison to other retail stores <br /> that are similarly situated, concluded that they cannot attribute an increase in calls for service to the retail marijuana <br /> stores. <br /> Please feel free to let me know if you have other questions. <br /> A� CELEBRATING Allan Gillen <br /> 1 Director I Community Planning and Economic Development <br /> y r 3 425.257.8725 12930 Wetmore Ave., Everett, WA 98201 <br /> A story worth telling everettwa.gov/planning I Facebook I Twitter <br /> From: Ethel McNeal <br /> Sent:Tuesday, May 8, 2018 10:43 AM <br /> To:Allan Giffen <AGiffen@everettwa.gov> <br /> Subject: RE: Marijuana Revenue <br /> Allan, <br /> I haven't seen long line at these stores, so I was just wondering, if it's a good idea to increase the number of <br /> stores? In the City of Everett, will this new plan allow for these stores to be located near churches? <br /> I also wonder with stores being closer to each other, if this will cause a competition that could lead to a <br /> problem for the City of Everett? <br /> I know you have done a good job, checking things out, and I might have missed the answers to my questions. <br /> Thanks <br /> Ethel <br /> From:Allan Giffen <br /> Sent: Monday, May 7, 2018 1:46 PM <br /> 1 <br />
