Description
San Bruno City Council Meeting August 9, 2011
10a. Prohibit Medical Marijuana Distribution Facilities
B
Based
on
prior
direction,
at
one
of
your
last
meetings,
I'm
presenting
for
your
consideration
tonight,
a
draft
ordinance
prohibiting
medical
marijuana
distribution
facilities
in
the
city.
The
ordinance
is
based
on
best
available
legal
and
policy
research
that
we've
done
and
is
quite
similar
to
ordinances
passed
by
other
cities
both
on
the
peninsula
and
across
the
state
of
California.
As
you
know,
and
as
I
reported
at
the
last
meeting,
there
are
legal
and
regulatory
changes
that
continue
to
occur,
both
at
the
state
level,
in
the
courts
and
at
the
federal
level.
B
In
fact,
and
so
if
that
legal
landscape
does
change
between
now
and
some
point
in
the
future,
we
can
certainly
bring
back
any
modifications
to
the
ordinance
for
you
if,
for
one
reason
or
another,
it's
not
working
as
intended
tonight.
The
ordinance
is
scheduled
for
introduction,
so
waive
the
first
reading
and
introduce,
and
if
it
is
introduced
tonight
we
will
schedule
it
for
a
public
hearing
at
the
next
meeting
and
that
would
be
on
the
thirteenth
of
September.
The
moratorium
expires
on
the
twenty-fifth
of
September.
B
B
So,
therefore,
in
on
page
39
you'll
find
the
definition
of
a
medical
marijuana
distribution
facility,
which
does
in
fact
include
both
entities
that
sell
and
that
in
any
way,
transmits
gives
or
otherwise
provides
marijuana.
So
it
covers
situations
in
which
there's
there's
not
a
sale,
but
it's
occurring
at
a
facility,
so
I
think
the
ordinance
does
adequately
cover
that
distinction.
Thank.
