She stated that she appreciated the sentiment of the Council to allow one for now to see <br />how things go, as they could always allow more in the future. <br /> <br />Commissioner Masrud agreed with favoring flexibility. <br /> <br />Chair Johnson asked for details on soil safety in terms of cultivation. <br /> <br />The Community Development Director explained that someone could not successfully run an <br />outdoor cultivation business in the industrial district. He stated that in Michigan the grow <br />operations are heavily monitored and timed in strict rows rather than a hodge-podge fashion. <br /> <br />Commissioner Owens commented that most of the operations would most likely be hydroponic, <br />which would not use soil. <br /> <br />The Community Development Director recapped the consensus items of the Commission. <br /> <br /> Kulousek introduced the following motion: <br /> <br />RECOMMENDING THE APPROVAL OF ORDINANCES 903, 904, 905 TO AMEND <br />CHAPTERS 905, 906, AND 914 OF THE CITY OF LITTLE CANADA ZONING <br />CODE WITH THE AMENDMENTS AS DISCUSSED <br /> <br /> The foregoing motion was duly seconded by Owens. <br /> Ayes (8).
