§ 17.11.1030. Commercial cannabis activity—Permitted locations and standards.

A.

Commercial cannabis cultivation, manufacturing (including shared-use facilities), laboratory testing, distribution, retailers, non-storefront retailers, and microbusinesses may be located in the cannabis overlay district, upon either issuance of a CUP or full execution of a development agreement approved by city council and issuance of a regulatory permit, or as otherwise permitted in this code.

B.

Commercial cannabis cultivation or manufacturing facilities shall be limited to no more than seventy-five percent of the acreage of a legal parcel in the cannabis overlay zone.

C.

Each commercial cannabis cultivation facility shall be at least five thousand square feet in size, except for microbusinesses, and nurseries, which may be less than five thousand square feet in size.

D.

Commercial cannabis activity shall be located a minimum distance of six hundred feet away from any sensitive receptor. The distance shall be measured at the nearest point between any part of the building containing the cannabis use and any lot line of the sensitive receptor.

E.

Cannabis cultivation, manufacturing, and laboratory testing may only occur indoors. Commercial cannabis activity shall not result in the creation of any odors detectable from anywhere off the property boundaries. The use of carbon filtration systems and other mitigation measures shall be used on all commercial cannabis activities that cause such odors. Commercial cannabis activity permittees or developers shall not allow cannabis to be visible from the public right-of-way or the unsecured areas surrounding the commercial cannabis activity's site.

F.

No commercial cannabis activity shall operate unless it is in possession of all applicable state and local licenses or permits, except as otherwise permitted by state and/or local law. Every commercial cannabis activity shall submit to the city manager a copy of any and all of its state and local licenses and permits required for its operation. If any other applicable state or local license or permit for a commercial cannabis activity is denied, suspended, modified, revoked, or expired, the permittee shall notify the city manager in writing within ten calendar days.

G.

Except as required in this chapter, CUPs shall be reviewed, issued, denied, suspended, revoked, and/or renewed in accordance with Chapter 17.01, Article V, Conditional Use Permit Regulations. If any provision of this chapter conflicts with any provision of Title 17, Chapter 17.01, Article V, the provision in this chapter shall control.
