Document Description
The MMIZ will establish a Combining Zone for an area where niche manufacturing businesses that produce medical marijuana related products such as edibles, oils, tincture sprays, lotions and a variety of other products can be safely produced. Medical marijuana cultivation, processing, warehousing, research, and testing, and new medical marijuana product development will also be allowed. Specific land use zoning and development standards for medical marijuana land uses will apply. In addition to the zoning requirements, the City will also require a "Commercial Cannabis Activity Permit" for every medical marijuana business operating in the City. The Commercial Cannabis Activity Permit is intended to implement the local regulatory requirements of the state Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act.
