for not being registered with the City on the books and go fine the four businesses that have not <br />registered. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hanson said she would like to send these business letters first <br />before taking any other action. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove said she believes they need to get an ordinance on the books for this. <br />She noted these businesses have a State license which tells them they have to register with the City <br />and she does not think that the City should have to seek out these businesses to get them into <br />compliance. She added that the State does not tell the City how many other businesses they need <br />to have and she asked why the State is telling them how many of these adult use cannabis <br />businesses need to be in the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht shared that he wonders how there has become such a large lobbying group <br />for this. <br /> <br />City Attorney Knaak explained that this is something that has been happening in other states and <br />they have gotten a head start on this. He said he has never seen the State mandate something like <br />this on cities for what should be a private business enterprise. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hanson asked what zoning districts they would like to allow <br />these businesses to be in. <br /> <br />City Attorney Knaak noted that they can restrict this to not be allowed to be a home occupation. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hanson suggested allowing this in B-2, B-3 and industrial <br />zoning districts. <br /> <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan asked if they are going to have different zoning districts <br />for those who are growing versus those who are retailers. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hanson explained the micro and mezzobusinesses would be <br />more industrial uses and the retail stores could be in the B-2 or B-3 district, as well as the industrial <br />district. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked if they could restrict these businesses to only being in the industrial <br />district. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hanson said this is pretty restrictive. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to extend the adult use cannabis moratorium, to set up distance <br />buffers for these locations at maximum distances from schools, daycares, and other similar <br />locations, and have restricted hours of operations, the same as liquor stores in the City. They also <br />agreed that these businesses can be allowed in the B-2, B-3, and industrial zoning districts. <br /> <br />3.
