L DECISIONS—GENERALLY <br /> Under the Cannabis Act, cities generally maintain their ability to enact regulations with two <br /> primary limitations: (1) the City may not prohibit the establishment or operation of a cannabis or <br /> hemp business; and(2) the Legislature has established a maximum buffer from certain uses. <br /> IL ZONING DECISIONS—DESIGNATING ZONING DISTRICTS <br /> The City can amend its zoning code to specifically allow each business type in a particular district <br /> or it can choose to simply allow cannabis businesses in zones with similar uses (e.g., retailers in <br /> commercial zones with other retail). The following table, which is from the OCM's Guide for <br /> Local Governments, includes each licensed business and very high-level information on the <br /> businesses operations and potential land use considerations. <br /> The enclosed draft ordinance establishes the districts in which each type of cannabis business will <br /> be allowed and is based largely on matching cannabis businesses with uses in that district. <br /> Table 1: Cannabis and Hemp Business Activities <br /> EndorsedEndorsed License Type Comparable Municipal <br /> Activity Eligible to Do Description of Activity Districts Considerations <br /> "Cultivation"means any <br /> • Cultivator activity involving the Indoor: • Odor <br /> • Mezzobusiness planting,growing, Industrial, • Potential need for <br /> • Microbusiness harvesting,drying, Commercial, transportation from <br /> Cultivation curing,grading,or Production facility <br /> • Medical trimming of cannabis • Waste,water,and <br /> Cannabis plants,cannabis flower, Outdoor: energy usage <br /> • Combination hemp plants,or hemp Agricultural • Security <br /> plant parts. <br /> This group of endorsed <br /> • Odor <br /> • Manufacturer • Potential need for <br /> Cannabis activities turn raw,dried Indoor: <br /> • Mezzobusiness transportation from <br /> Manufacturing, • Medical cannabis and cannabis Industrial, facility <br /> Processing, parts into other types of Commercial, <br /> Extraction Cannabis cannabis products,e.g. Production • Waste,water,and <br /> • Combination energy usage <br /> edibles or topicals. <br /> • Security <br /> • Lower-Potency These businesses Indoor: .
