Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved allowing medical marijuana cultivation in greenhouses on agricultural land, reversing the city's current ban. Farmers will need special permits from the Planning Commission, which must first review the proposed zoning rules before the council makes a final decision. This change only affects agricultural areas and requires greenhouse facilities rather than outdoor growing. The vote was 6-0, with Mayor Butt absent from the meeting.
