Council approves multiple land‑use and cannabis ordinances
Summary
Caribou City Council approved an amendment to the land‑use table and three related ordinances addressing medical dispensaries and prohibiting adult‑use cannabis; each was passed by voice vote after required public hearings with no public comment.
The Caribou City Council voted on May 11 to approve a set of land‑use amendments and cannabis‑related ordinances after holding the required public hearings.
Council approved Ordinance 01 (2026 series), an amendment to Chapter 13’s land‑use table, following a brief public hearing. Members then considered Ordinance 02 (2026 series), which amends Chapter 13 §700.39 to set general requirements for registered medical cannabis dispensaries; no members of the public spoke and the ordinance passed by voice vote. The council also approved Ordinance 03 (2026 series), amending Chapter 13 §700.41 to prohibit adult‑use cannabis, and Ordinance 04 (2026 series), amending Chapter 7 §11 regarding registered medical cannabis dispensaries; both were approved after hearings with no in‑room or online public comment.
Councilors treated the package as distinct ordinances tied to the city’s land‑use code and dispensary regulations. Votes were recorded by roll call responses (aye) and each ordinance passed during the meeting.
The ordinances will take effect according to the standard publication and implementation rules set out in local code. Council did not record amendments to the ordinances on the floor and no formal motions to delay passage were made.
