Title
An Ordinance to Amend Sections 7:604 and 7:606 of Chapter 96 (Medical Marijuana Facilities) of Title VII of the Code of the City of Ann Arbor (Ordinance No. ORD-18-15)
Memorandum
On April 16th, 2018 City Council approved a resolution directing the City Administrator and City Attorney to prepare an ordinance that limits the number of provisioning centers to the number of approvable petitions for special exception use that had been accepted for consideration by the City by that date. Attached is an amendment to the Chapter 96 (Medical Marijuana Facilities) that limits the maximum number of provisioning centers to 28.
As of April 16th, there were 28 pending applications for provisioning centers that were approvable because they are not on a parcel within 600 feet of another parcel with a provisioning center. There are six additional petitions pending that currently violate the 600 feet restriction that may only be considered if one of the original 28 pending applications is denied.
