1 <br /> Mayor Faust stated he appreciates the due diligence done on this matter. Although there is not a 2 <br />problem today, the City would be trying to prevent any problem in the future. The Council wants 3 <br />to become proactive with the legislation. A facility in the City may cause some public safety 4 <br />concerns in the future. There are other Cities in the State that have prohibited an ordinance. Mr. 5 <br />Foster stated the City of Bloomington adopted licensing requirements for Cannabis facilities and 6 <br />he read the requirements. The Planning Commission suggested the use of buffers. 7 <br /> 8 <br /> Councilmember Stille stated once a problem exists, the solution cannot be implemented. He does 9 <br />not agree with a buffer system because if a daycare were to move then the Council would need to 10 <br />react. Five years from now the legislature may decide they want another facility and St. Anthony 11 <br />could be that location. It would be most prudent to disallow the facilities within the City. City 12 <br />Manager Casey stated the City Attorney stated the study provided the findings for not allowing a 13 <br />facility within the City. 14 <br /> 15 <br /> Councilmember Stille noted this does not prohibit the use of medical cannabis within the City by 16 <br />those needing it. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution 19 <br />No 16-027 accepting findings from a study for the purpose of considering amendments to the 20 <br />City Zoning Code regarding the regulation of medical cannabis manufacturers and cannabis 21 <br />facilities and adopting a text amendment to the zoning code to implement option 3 outlined in 22 <br />said study. 23 <br /> 24 <br />Motion carried 5-0 25 <br /> 26 <br />B.
