Summary
By voice vote the council approved second readings of Ordinance 354 and Ordinance 355, which treat retail cannabis similar to alcohol, include a 250-foot buffer from schools, and cap retail cannabis businesses within city limits at two.
The New Prague City Council approved second readings of two ordinances that amend the city’s zoning to regulate retail cannabis activities.
City staff summarized that the proposed amendments would regulate cannabis retail similarly to alcohol, require retailers to be at least 250 feet from schools, and cap the number of retail cannabis establishments at two within the city limits (with state requirements suggesting at least one location). Council members asked clarifying questions; no amendments were proposed during the meeting.
Both ordinances—identified in the meeting as Ordinance No. 354 (cannabis zoning amendment) and Ordinance No. 355—passed their second readings by voice vote and the motions carried. The council did not discuss further procedural steps in detail during that item, and no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.
