4 Number of Retail Businesses: The only cannabis business which the City is permitted by state statute to limit per number of registered business is the retail sale of cannabis products. This type of business can be limited to 1 per every 12,500 residents of a City, Township, or County. It may be possible to limit retail registrations to zero if there are enough licensed retailers in the county to satisfy the 1 business per 12,500 resident ratio county-wide. Micro and Mezzobusinesses Microbusiness and mezzobusinesses are the two unique use names within cannabis. These uses can be compared to something like a small winery or brewery; however, on-site consumption of intoxicating products is only allowed by state licenses for microbusinesses. Microbusinesses and mezzobusinesses are allowed to cultivate, manufacture/process, package, and sell with their license. Businesses licensed as microbusinesses or mezzobusinesses can operate multiple locations and the cultivation and manufacturing part of the license can be located separately from the retail location. As such, the uses may have multiple parts of a singular building that make up a single structure such as a warehouse type facility for storage and processing and a greenhouse for cultivation, but these all serve the principal use of microbusiness or mezzobusiness. Draft Zoning Standards Staff are recommending the following changes at this time: • Establishment of definitions for cannabis and hemp uses. • Revision of land use tables in Mixed Use, Business, and Industrial Districts to regulate the specific cannabis business uses. • Establishment of performance standards for cannabis businesses and the process for temporary cannabis events.
