Doral LPA forwards Chapter 74 amendment to regulate establishments selling and allowing on‑site consumption of cannabis products
Summary
The Local Planning Agency transmitted a proposed Chapter 74 amendment (proposed Section 74‑171) to the city council to define and regulate establishments engaging in sale and on‑site consumption of cannabis products; the LPA took no position and there was no public comment.
The City of Doral Local Planning Agency voted to forward a proposed text amendment to Chapter 74 of the Land Development Code that would create Section 74‑171 to regulate establishments engaging in the sale and on‑site consumption of cannabis products.
Staff read the resolution describing the amendment’s intent to establish definitions, distance requirements and other regulations for these establishments. The transcript’s reading contained a transcription error — it recorded the phrase “cabin crate and products.” Based on the staff reading and the context of the item, the amendment concerns retail sale and on‑site consumption of cannabis and related products.
The public hearing for the item drew no speakers. Councilwoman Nicole Reynoso moved to transmit the amendment to city council without a recommendation; Vice Mayor Digna Cabral seconded. The clerk recorded roll‑call votes in which the members cast “Yes” votes and the motion passed.
By forwarding the proposed Section 74‑171 without a recommendation, the LPA sent the draft to the city council for further hearings and possible action; the council will consider public input and any amendments at its scheduled meeting. No substantive policy changes were adopted at the LPA hearing.
The LPA adjourned after the two items and indicated the regularly scheduled council meeting would begin about 10 minutes later.
