Ill. STUD Y SE SSIO N
~
MEDICAL MARllUANA AMENDMENTS
Director White provided background information regarding the new state regulations for
medical marijuana dispensing and growing operations. The legislation authorizes local
jurisdictions to regulate these operations through licensing and zoning.
Director White reviewed with the Commission draft regulations that City Council discussed
at a study session in September.
The Commission 's task is to recommend which zone districts, if any, should permit the
three different operations: medical marijuana center, optional premises growing facility and
infused products manufacturing.
Director White noted the spacing requirements that were adopted in the State legislation
can be modified by a local jurisdiction, which the Englewood City Council has considered.
Spacing and other requirements will be established within Title 5 under licensing provisions
of the Englewood Municipal Code. Director White referenced a distancing map included in
the meeting packet. He noted State law requires municipalities to measure as the
pedestrian walks, not as the crow flies .
Ms. Reid said the State has not provided for grandfathering, but Englewood is a home-rule
city so can choose to grandfather or not grandfather. She said if the Commission has an
opinion one way or the other they could make a recommendation.
Director White stated the optional premises grow facilities have to be connected to a
medical marijuana center. They cannot be a grow facility for numerous centers spread
throughout the City. The Commission asked if they need to be physically connected.
Director White said no, but grow centers can provide product to only one center and their
location must remain confidential. Ms. Reid said centers must grow at least 70% of what
they sell .

The Commission worked on filling in the Table of Allowed Uses . It was determined none of
the three uses should be permitted in any residential zone districts. It was decided to allow
all three uses in M-1 , M-2, M-0-2, MU-B-1, MU-B-2, 1-1 and 1-2 zone districts. The
Commission chose to not include the TSA zone district at this time since there are currently
none in the City. Eliminating distancing requirements in the medical district was discussed.
Mr. Welker said he felt distancing requirements shou ld apply to the centers only. Several
other Commissioners agreed.
The medical marijuana amendment discussion will continue at a later date .
