Ordinance to define and bar adult-use cannabis operators moves to full council
Summary
Ordinance 80-2025, presented at the July 9 committee-of-the-whole meeting, would add a definition for adult-use cannabis operators to the planning and zoning code and enact a prohibition on adult-use cannabis operators and medical marijuana entities; council recorded that the item is at third reading and will proceed to full council for action.
At the July 9 committee-of-the-whole meeting, Council President Jordan and Mayor Thomas presented Ordinance 80-2025, a third-reading ordinance proposing changes to Richmond Heights’ planning and zoning code that would add a definition of "adult-use cannabis operators," enact a new section prohibiting adult-use cannabis operators and medical marijuana entities, and repeal or amend listed planning and building-code sections.
The ordinance text as read during the meeting lists multiple code sections for amendment or repeal, including changes to chapter 11 and building-code cross references. Council members recorded that, because the item is at third reading, it will automatically proceed to full council for consideration; the committee did not take a final vote or further substantively debate the ordinance at the July 9 session.
Actions recorded from the meeting: the committee noted the ordinance is at third reading and will go to full council; no vote or adoption was recorded in the transcript. The transcript does not include a staff presentation, fiscal analysis, or parcel-specific details for this ordinance.
Next steps: Ordinance 80-2025 will appear on the full council agenda for consideration and possible final action.
