Council adopts marijuana-facilities code amendment with 1,000-foot buffer
Summary
The council adopted Bill 17‑84, updating city code to regulate marijuana facilities consistent with the Missouri Constitution and maintaining a 1,000‑foot buffer from established schools, churches and daycares.
The council adopted an ordinance (Bill 17‑84) to amend chapter 22 of the City of Fulton code to regulate marijuana facilities consistent with Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution. Council members confirmed the ordinance includes a 1,000‑foot buffer from established schools, churches and daycares, in line with state guidance discussed during the reading.
Councilman Cowherd presented the bill and noted the substantive change was to repeal the old article and enact a new article 8 addressing marijuana facilities and location standards. After discussion and a roll-call vote, council recorded five affirmative votes and passed the ordinance.
No additional conditions or financial figures were included in the discussion; staff will implement code changes and publish the updated ordinance.
