Commission reviews draft medical cannabis rules; staff to send ordinance to city attorney
Summary
The Planning Commission discussed a draft ordinance for medical cannabis facilities (hours, signage, location limits) and asked staff to forward the draft to the city attorney for legal review and refinement.
Commissioners briefly reviewed a draft ordinance intended to regulate medical cannabis businesses in Hyde Park, focusing on allowable zones, hours of operation, signage restrictions and potential caps on the number of facilities.
Staff noted the draft drew from models used in other Utah cities; the Draper example was a primary reference. Commissioners suggested limiting signage that displays cannabis imagery (no marijuana-leaf logos) and discussed whether to limit the number of licenses by population or police-district area; one suggestion was a population-based cap (for example, a ratio similar to one facility per X residents), though staff said they would confirm statutory constraints.
Commissioners agreed staff should send the draft to the city attorney for legal review and return with recommended language. No public hearing or formal vote occurred.
