Amend medical marijuana collective regulations to allow new locations and remove tax requirement
In Plain English
The city currently restricts where medical marijuana collectives can operate and requires them to register with the state Franchise Tax Board. This change eliminates the tax board requirement and allows collectives in C-2 commercial zones if they meet specific conditions. The original rules were adopted in 2010 and need updating for current operations.

Introduce the ordinance on first reading with the elimination of permitting a Medical Marijuana Collective to be located in a C-2 zoning district

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously voted to update the city's 2010 medical marijuana collective rules, but with a key change from what staff recommended. While the proposed ordinance would have eliminated a state tax registration requirement and allowed collectives in C-2 commercial zones, the council removed the provision allowing C-2 zone locations. This means medical marijuana collectives will still be restricted to their current allowed locations. The ordinance passed its first reading and will need a second vote to become final.
