Arcata, CA: Medical marijuana guidelines up for review
The Arcata Planning Commission will continue its review of the draft medical marijuana land use standards Tuesday, in hopes of moving it forward to the City Council.
Community Development Director Larry Oetker said the commission's approval may bring the guidelines, designed to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries in hopes of curbing illegal grow activity, one step closer to completion.
According to the agenda, the commission will review codes regarding cultivation and dispensing, as well as zoning for dispensaries.
The guidelines will become part of the city's draft land use codes, which are up for approval by the council on Aug. 20, but will most likely not be included until later, Mayor Mark Wheetley said.
The dispensary guidelines cover various issues regarding dispensary operations, the application process and records, as well as addressing safety issues and the dispensary relations with individual 215 patients who grow.
Other agenda items include the proposed Trillium Creek Development.
