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.
