Consultant: state rules limit sales to licensed caregivers, 500 sq ft canopy cap
Summary
A presenter told the committee that state 'OCP' rules require sales only to licensed caregivers, prohibit interstate sales and individual purchases, and limit cultivation canopy to 500 square feet; the board asked clarifying questions about retail vs. medical distinctions.
A presenter advising the applicant told the Rec Advisory Committee that operations under the cited state rules must sell product only to licensed caregivers and "we cannot take it out of state." The presenter repeated multiple times that product is sold to licensed caregiver entities and not to individual medical-card holders.
On canopy limits the presenter said, "we can only grow flower 500 square feet," and described state enforcement practices, including unannounced inspections. Committee members asked whether dispensaries in nearby towns and caregiver-supplement rules change how local regulation should apply; the presenter and staff emphasized the distinction between state licensing and local building-code and ordinance compliance.
