Staff says county may handle registration and enforcement, city keeps zoning control
Summary
Staff described two tracks: state licensing via OCM and local registration; the county is offering registration services and could handle compliance checks, leaving zoning review to the city.
Staff explained there are two tracks for cannabis operations: state licensing through the Office of Cannabis Management and local registration or licensing that some counties are offering to handle on behalf of cities. A staff member who spoke about county coordination said the county "are offering licensing registrations to the county," and described a process where applicants obtain state licensure, the city checks zoning compliance, and then the county would perform registration and compliance enforcement.
Commissioners were told that if the county takes on registration and enforcement tasks, the citys review burden would be limited to zoning compliance checks. Staff recommended the commission finalize zoning language while the county and state continue to build their registration processes; the commission agreed to forward the draft to council so the intergovernmental mechanics can be clarified before final adoption.
