Planning Commission backs cannabis business rules; city zoning amendments propose vacation rental parking and Sunday cannabis hours
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended Ordinance No. 176 (cannabis business regulations) to the City Council; the EDA agenda included proposed amendments to Ordinance No. 104 covering vacation-rental parking (25 ft buffer; parking per bedroom plus operator space) and Sunday cannabis hours (11 a.m.–6 p.m.).
The Planning Commission recommended Ordinance No. 176, which establishes regulations for cannabis businesses, to the Moose Lake City Council, the meeting agenda states. The EDA recorded the Planning Commission's recommendation on March 26; no EDA vote on Ordinance No. 176 is recorded in the meeting minutes.
Separately, proposed amendments to Ordinance No. 104 (City of Moose Lake Zoning Ordinance) were listed on the EDA agenda. For Article XX (Vacation Rentals) the amendment text included two specific parking provisions: "No parking shall be closer than 25 ft from any adjacent dwelling," and "Parking spaces shall include one off-street parking space per bedroom and one for the operator." The agenda language further states that passing the ordinance would give the City authority to enforce safety and nuisance regulations related to vacation rentals.
For Article XI (Cannabis Businesses) the draft amendment set Sunday hours of operation at 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The agenda does not record a final vote by the City Council; the Planning Commission's recommendation and the EDA agenda items indicate these proposals are intended to move forward to council consideration.
Next steps: the Planning Commission recommendation and the EDA agenda entries place the items for City Council review and possible adoption; the transcript records the proposals and proposed text but does not record City Council action or final ordinance adoption.
