Adoption by the Council of the proposed assessment may occur at the hearing. Such
assessment is proposed to be payable in equal annual installments extending over a
period of 15 years, the first of the installments to be payable on or before the first
Monday in January 2026, and will bear interest at the rate of 5 percent per annum from

added interest on the entire assessment from the date of the assessment resolution until

one year on all unpaid installments.
The property owner may at any time prior to certification of the assessment to the county

payment, to the City. No interest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid within
30 days from the adoption of this assessment. The property owner may at any time

per year.
The proposed assessment roll is on file for public inspection at the City Clerk's office.

affected property owner is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the assessment hearing

consider any objection to the amount of a proposed individual assessment at an
adjourned meeting upon such further notice to the affected property owners as it deems
advisable.

the requirements of this law and City Code may, within 30 days of the confirmation of the
assessment, apply to the City Clerk for the prescribed form for such deferral of payment

INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council to consider an amendment to City Code regulating cannabis

BACKGROUND
As discussed at the December 2, 2024 and January 6, 2025, work sessions, Minnesota Statutes,

Amendments to Section 617 of City Code are being proposed to address the registration
process and establish local requirements for cannabis businesses.
The Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 01-25 on February 10, 2025.

STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: February 24, 2025
TOPIC: Consider First Reading of Ordinance No. 02-25, Amending Chapter
1007 of the City Code Relating to Cannabis Businesses
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to adopt amendment to the Zoning Ordinance
(Chapter 1007 of City Code) relating to cannabis businesses.
BACKGROUND
As discussed at the December 2, 2024 and January 6, 2025, work sessions, Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 342, adopted in 2023 and amended in 2024 authorizes the cultivation, manufacturing
and sale of cannabis products. Minnesota's new Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) will be
responsible for the licensing of cannabis businesses. The State is currently completing the
rulemaking process which will likely be completed after the first of the year (2025).
There are 13 different types of business licenses. These include:
Microbusiness
Mezzobusiness
Cultivator
Manufacturer
Retailer
Wholesaler
Transporter
Testing Facility
Event Organizer
Delivery Service
Medical Cannabis Combo
Bus.
Lower -Potency Hemp Manuf.
Lower -Potency Hemp
Retailer
Definitions for each business type are included in the attachments.
1
The amendment to Chapter 617, previously considered by the City Council, provides for
registration requirements for Cannabis Business including, number of retail licenses allowed,
buffer requirements from certain uses, and performance standards.
The amendment to Chapter 1007 relates to the City's role as the zoning authority. Cannabis
businesses are viewed as any other type of legal business, subject to the City's general zoning
regulations. A zoning ordinance text amendment has been drafted to include the various
license types into appropriate zoning districts.
ANALYSIS
For purposes of the Zoning requirements the primary focus will be on the appropriate districts
for each use. It is also necessary to determine whether the use is a permitted or conditional
use based on similar uses already established in the districts.
The licensed uses fall within the following categories:
Cultivation. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for cultivation would be permitted as an
agricultural use and would be permitted indoor and outdoor in the R — Rural district. Indoor
cultivation would also be considered in Industrial districts.
Cannabis Manufacturer. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for cannabis manufacturer
would be a permitted manufacturing use in the Light Industrial and General Industrial districts.
Consideration should be given to whether this would be a permitted or conditional use in the
Business Campus district.
Hemp Manufacturer. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for low -potency hemp edible
manufacturers permitted as a manufacturing use in the industrial districts.
Wholesale. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for wholesale would be permitted as a
wholesale sales use in the Light and General Industrial Districts and the Business Campus
districts.
Cannabis Retail. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for cannabis retail are permitted as
retail sales in the Neighborhood Business, Limited Business, and General Business, Light
Industrial, General Industrial and Business Campus districts.
Cannabis Transportation and Cannabis Delivery. Cannabis business licensed or endorsed for
Transportation and Deliver would be permitted as warehousing uses in the Light and General
Industrial Districts and the Business Campus District.
The draft ordinance proposes the inclusion of cannabis uses as permitted where similar
activities are currently allowed. No conditional uses are proposed. Except for
microbusinesses, uses that included cultivation or retail sales were not allowed in the BC,
Business Campus district.
Planning & Zoning Board
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on January 8, 2025 and February 12, 2025.
No public comment was received. The board unanimously recommended approval of
Ordinance No. 02-25.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the First Reading of Ordinance No. 02-25.
