12 STUDY OF MEDICAL CANNABIS MANUFACTURERS AND CANNABIS FACILITIES CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE City Code § 152.141. The LI District allows for the permitted conditional use for “drug, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and toiletries manufacture.” R/O Recreational/Open Space Purpose: “regulate development in those areas which have significant natural amenities such as trees, terrain, and water resources, and to regulate development for recreational purposes in areas which have significant public or private recreational potential.” The R/O District does not specifically permit any use that would allow cannabis facilities. City Code § 155-56. PUD Planned Unit Development Purpose: “to provide for planned unit developments within the city.” Each PUD District is governed by its specific planned unit development ordinance. Due to the individual nature of each PUD District, the status of medical cannabis is not analyzed under each individual PUD. However, the PUD Districts are focused on “single or mixed uses” and may incorporate a combination of uses allowed under residential, commercial, or industrial districts. 4.4 Interpretation of Medical Cannabis under the City’s Zoning Districts No cannabis facilities are allowed in R-1, R-1A, R-2, R-3, or R/O Districts. However, medical cannabis facilities would likely be an allowed use in R-4, C, and LI Districts. As a result, there may be the potential for conflicting land uses in these districts if cannabis facilities are allowed. Further detail on uses that may conflict with cannabis facilities is provided in Section 5. (a) Medical Cannabis in R-1, R-1A, R-2, R-3 and R/O Districts The R-1, R-1A, R-2, R-3 and R/O Districts do not specifically permit any use that would allow any type of cannabis facility. City Code § 152.036-37; 152.052-53; 152.066-67; 152.087- 88; 152.155-156. Therefore, no cannabis facilities are allowed in R-1, R-1A, R-2, R-3, or R/O Districts. (b) Medical Cannabis in the R-4 District The R-4 District allows for service or convenience type businesses, including pharmacies, as a permitted conditional use. See City Code § 152.102(a). The term “pharmacy” is not defined in the City Code. Because medical cannabis must be dispensed by a licensed pharmacist under State law, a medical cannabis dispenser would likely be considered a pharmacist under the City Code. As a result, a medical cannabis dispenser would likely be a conditional permitted use within the R-4 District and are not prohibited. There is the potential for conflicting land uses within the R-4 District. State licensed day care facilities are a permitted conditional use within the R-4 District. City Code § 152.102. 20
