Ever since marijuana has been legalized in more than
twenty states, the city councils have been working day and night to make sure
that the marijuana local ordinance is improved. So that the laws and
regulations are in the interest of the patients in need of medical marijuana
and of the public. As stated by the new marijuana local ordinance, medical
marijuana dispensaries can only be set up in locations that are eligible. If
the dispensary is to be established in the city limits, some conditions will
apply. The first condition is that just one permit can be granted to the
dispensary by the city council.
Furthermore, the dispensary that has been given
approval to run the business in the city limits must be located in an
industrial or a commercial zoning region. Also, it cannot be located anywhere
within one thousand feet of a library, school and places of worship, youth
centre, recreational facility or park. There is more, the facility cannot be
located within five hundred feet of residential areas. Also, a public hearing
will be conducted by the Board of Zoning Adjustments on the approval of the
permit granted by the city council. Businesses that are given the conditional use
permit must comply with the regulations that relates to operating, security,
record keeping, facilities and signage that have been stated in the ordinance.
