Title
An Ordinance to Add Section 5:50.1 of Chapter 55 (Zoning) of Title V of the Code of the City of Ann Arbor Regarding Regulations Concerning Medical Marijuana (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 Yeas and 0 Nays) (Ordinance No. ORD-10-37)
Memorandum
Approval of this ordinance language will add a new section to the Zoning Ordinance that 1) provides regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries, cultivation facilities, and home occupations; 2) identifies districts in which these activities would be allowed; and 3) provides additional use regulations.

The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of October 5, 2010, made the following amendments to the October 1, 2010 draft ordinance:

1. Added language to Paragraph (3)(a) regarding locations of medical marijuana dispensaries and cultivation facilities. The following underlined text has been inserted into the October 7 draft: “Medical marijuana dispensaries shall only be located in a district classified pursuant to this chapter as D, C or M, or in PUD districts where retail is permitted in the supplemental regulations.

2. Eliminated Paragraph (4)(d) regarding medical marijuana dispensary and cultivation facility regulations. The following language has been removed from the October 7 draft: “No person shall lease or sub-lease any property for the purpose of using said property for a medical marijuana dispensary or cultivation facility without the prior express written permission of the owner of the property for such use.”

3. Restored a requirement for medical marijuana home occupation regulations, which had been removed from the October 1 draft. The following has been re-inserted as Paragraph (5)(i) in the October 7 draft: “No transfer of medical marijuana to patients other than those residing on the parcel shall occur on the parcel.”

The City Planning Commission recommended approval of the draft ordinance, as amended. The attached October 7, 2010 draft ordinance incorporates these amendments.
