Ill. STUDY SESSION
Amendments to Title 16 Related to Medical Marijuana
~
Director White reviewed past meeting discussion regarding the medical marijuana
amendments. The Commission agreed his interpretation was correct. It was suggested to
remove centers and accessory uses from the M-1 zone district. After discussion it was th e
Commission 's recommendation to remov e centers and accessory uses from the M-1 zone
district.
Next, Director White asked the Commission if they had a recommendation as to spacing to
pass along to City Council. It was determined to recommend a spacing of 2,000 feet
b etw een medical marijuana centers and any school, residential child care facility, and drug
and alcohol treatment facilities and 2,500 between other medical marijuana centers. These
distances would be applied to medical marijuana facilities and schools, child care centers,
and alcohol and drug treatment centers whether located inside or outside the corporate
limits of En glewood. The Commission recommended the medical marijuana amendments
be forwarded to City Council for review.
Director White said Staff is scheduled to take the amendments to City Council along with
the licensing and spacing requirements on February 28 1h. If all goes well Planning and
Zoning will hold a public hearing on March 8 1h. The regulations must be in place by Jul y 1,
2011.
Ms. Reid noted that the State is once again reviewing their regulations and if chang es ar e
made th e City ma y have to amend their regulations in the future .

discuss i on led by John Voboril.
H e also inform ed th e Commissio n that Community Development has hired a consultant to
co ndu ct a city-wide retail assess ment. The study will assess ten of the prominent retail areas
