City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 8, 2016 Page 4 Mayor Faust stated he appreciates the due diligence done on this matter. Although there is not a problem today, the City would be trying to prevent any problem in the future. The Council wants to become proactive with the legislation. A facility in the City may cause some public safety concerns in the future. There are other Cities in the State that have prohibited an ordinance. Mr. Foster stated the City of Bloomington adopted licensing requirements for Cannabis facilities and he read the requirements. The Planning Commission suggested the use of buffers. 9 Councilmember Stille stated once a problem exists, the solution cannot be implemented. He does 10 not agree with a buffer system because if a daycare were to move then the Council would need to 11 react. Five years from now the legislature may decide they want another facility and St. Anthony 12 could be that location. It would be most prudent to disallow the facilities within the City. City 13 Manager Casey stated the City Attorney stated the study provided the findings for not allowing a 14 facility within the City. 15 16 Councilmember Stille noted this does not prohibit the use of medical cannabis within the City by 17 those needing it. 18 19 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution 20 No 16 -027 accepting findings from a study for the p=ose of considering amendments to the 21 City Zoning Code regarding the regulation of medical cannabis manufacturers and cannabis 22 facilities and adopting a text amendment to the zoning code to implement option 3 outlined in 23 said study. 24 25 Motion carried 5 -0 26 27 B.
