CityCouncil | 2017-11-07 | 25 | The Community Development Director stated the ordinance regulating cannabis was also distributed to Council. The City Attorney stated there needs to be three votes on the entire ordinance. Councilmember Oddie stated only several things need to be changed: labor peace, food, provision about local ownership, the distance and redlines which staff provided to Council. The City Attorney stated one cultivation permit is allowed and there was discussion about changing it two permits. Mayor Spencer stated there were not enough votes for two permits. The City Attorney stated the next section is labor peace; inquired who is voting in favor of the requirement for labor peace being 10 employees, to which Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft, Councilmember Oddie and Vice Mayor Vella raised their hands. The Community Development Director stated the operational radius is the next provision. Vice Mayor Vella read the proposed language: "The distance shall be measured via a path of travel from the nearest door of the nearest sensitive use to the nearest door of the dispensary/retail/cultivation." and strike the rest of the sentence. The Assistant City Attorney inquired whether the word foregoing can be added before sensitive use, to which Vice Mayor Vella responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor Vella stated the second paragraph after sensitive uses should read: "measured via a path of travel from the nearest door of the nearest foregoing sensitive use to the nearest door of cannabis business.' Mayor Spencer stated Section e does has already been addressed. The Community Development Director stated staff will sync the onsite consumption language to be consistent with the smoking ordinance. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether Council agrees with the proposed language for Section f regarding onsite consumption, to which Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft Matarrese, Oddie and Vella concurred; Mayor Spencer stated that she will not vote. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Council would like to leave in the wording community benefit; stated that she would prefer to strike the words.
