If adopted, beekeeping would be allowed upon approval of the City Council as a waiver from what is currently a prohibition on “farm animals”. The approval would be subject to a set of regulations that are designed to ensure that applicants are thoroughly trained to responsibly keep and maintain bees on their residential property. The existing City Code provisions relevant to “farm animals” prohibit them in the City, with the allowance that the City Council may approve specific requests, waiving the usual prohibition. This waiver has been primarily utilized for chickens in the past. There are no specific requirements for the keeping of chickens, however, staff and the Council routinely add requirements to ensure that chicken facilities are installed and managed to minimize neighborhood concerns. For bees, the waiver process would still exist, however, extensive requirements for bees are proposed. Beekeeping operations can be difficult for potential beekeepers to successfully and safely implement in residential environments, and the requirements in the attached ordinance are intended to address those issues. CITY COUNCIL ACTION Staff asks that the City Council consider this first reading of a proposed ordinance to allow beekeeping in the City’s residential areas, subject to the regulations and standards included in the attached draft language. If approved, a formal ordinance amendment will be prepared for subsequent readings in anticipation of final adoption. 15 June 11, 2024 Page 2 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission considered the proposed ordinance language at a public hearing at its regular meeting on May 21, 2024. The Commission recommends adoption of the ordinance, but made a number of recommended modifications to the proposed language which have been incorporated into the attached draft. The Commission’s comments (as well as staff input) include the following changes from the draft forwarded by the PEC: 1.The language is modified to refer to the process as a specific permission of the City Council, similar to the way in which chicken requests are proposed – as opposed to a “permit” or “license”. 2.The language is modified to simplify notice to neighbors of a potential application, in that abutting property owners would be notified by the City of the proposed request. Neighbors could submit concerns, including notification of any bee sting allergies. This alters the PEC’s draft which included a requirements that the applicable submit verification that all neighbors within 100 feet had been notified, and certified that none of the those neighbors had documented bee sting allergies. 3.The language is modified to require only a single application (rather than the PEC’s draft which required an annual renewal). Instead, the approval would lapse if the beekeeper either discontinued the operation, or was found to be out of compliance with the requirements of the code. 4.The proposed language is modified to authorize the City Manager to approve the course of education submitted by the applicant. BACKGROUND AND REVIEW The PEC reviewed the ordinance contents with Code Staff at their March, 2024 meeting. A copy of the staff report is included with this report for Planning Commission background. The updated ordinance in this packet reflects staff’s updates based on the PEC’s comments and questioning, as well as three additional modifications related to (F) License Term; (G) Allergy issues; and (I) Location. Those changes are summarized as follows: (F)Staff added to the approval section to create an administrative renewal for licenses on an annual basis, unless the City Manager finds that the request requires City council review. (This was changed by the Commission to a continuous approval, subject to compliance) (G) License Limitations for Allergies. The ordinance creates a requirement for potential applicants to survey neighboring property owners as to “medically documented” allergies. The original language in the PEC version required documentation for all property owners within “100 feet” of the subject parcel. Administration of this requirement may prove complicated, and as such, the standard is proposed to be limited to “abutting property”. 16 June 11, 2024 Page 3 (I)3) – Location – planning staff modified the original draft language that required a 200-foot separation between hive placements and any property zoned other than R-1, Single Family. Instead, planning staff proposes that on any property “abutting” non-R-1 property, the hive shall be located as far as practical from the non-R-1 boundary. It is believed that the 200-foot buffer distance would be difficult to manage, and would exempt many R-1 parcels from eligibility. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION If acceptable to the Planning Commission, staff asks that the Commission consider recommendation of the proposed ordinance to the City Council for adoption. This may include recommended modifications to the proposed draft as deemed appropriate to the Commission. SUMMARY AND STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the Ordinance, based on the recommendations of the Parks and Environmental Commission, with the modifications as noted. ATTACHMENTS Exhibit A:Draft Ordinance Language Redline 17 ORDINANCE 2024-02 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY HENNEPIN AND RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ST. ANTHONY CITY CODE, BY AMENDING TITLE IX, SECTIONS 91.06 AND 91.56 OF THE CITY CODE RELATING TO ANIMALS § 91.06 DEFINITIONS. Domesticated animals means house pets such as dogs, cats, and birds, or other common pets kept in small containments which can be contained within a principal structure throughout the entire year, provided that containment can be accomplished without special modification to the structure requiring a building permit from the city. In addition, the term "domestic animals" includes birds (other than chickens, ducks and geese) and rabbits normally sheltered outside the home. Farm animals means cattle, hogs, bees, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, horses and other animals commonly accepted as farm animals in the state, and/or which are kept for agricultural purposes or food production. With regard to bees and beekeeping, the following definitions shall apply: Apiary - The assembly of one or more colonies of bees at a single location Beekeeper - A person who owns or has charge of one or more colonies of bees. Beekeeping equipment - anything used in the operation of an apiary, such as hive bodies, supers, frames, top and bottom boards and extractors. Colony - An aggregate of bees consisting principally of workers, but having, when perfect, one queen and at times drones, brood, combs, and honey. Flyway barrier - A barrier that raises the flight path of bees as they come and go from a hive. Hive - The receptacle inhabited by a colony that is manufactured for that purpose. Honey bee (also “Honeybee”) - All life stages of the common domestic honey bee, apis mellifera species. Lot - An area of land intended for occupancy or use as permitted in the zoning code, and otherwise meeting the requirements of the zoning code. Nucleus colony - A small quantity of bees with a queen housed in a smaller than usual hive box designed for a particular purpose. Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.5", First line: 0" Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, 12 pt, Bold, Italic 18 Undeveloped Parcel- Any idle land that is not improved or actually in the process of being improved with residential, commercial, industrial, church, park, school or governmental facilities or other structures or improvements intended for human occupancy and the grounds maintained in associations therewith. The term shall be deemed to include property developed exclusively as a street or highway or property used for commercial agricultural purposes. Wild Animal: Any animal which is not a domesticated animal as defined herein, or which is not naturally tame or gentle, but is of a wild nature or disposition, or which would constitute a danger to human life or property. The term includes animals and birds, the keeping of which is licensed by the State or federal government, such as, wolves, raptors, and pheasants. By way of example and not of limitation, the term includes: ducks, pheasants, geese, turkeys, birds of prey, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, coyotes, weasels, wild ferrets, sheep, goats, swine, monkeys, chimpanzees and deer. § 91.56 KEEPING OF CERTAIN ANIMALS. Except as allowed for Bees in this section, Nno person may keep farm animals or wild animals as defined in this Code, nor more than 2 dogs or 3 dogs allowed under § 91.01 through 91.05 or fowl, within the city nearer than 500 feet to any human habitation or platted land, without approval of the City Council. The City Council may, before approving or denying any request for approval, request a report from the Health Officer concerning the effect on public health. (A) KEEPING OF BEES. The purpose of this ordinance is to establish certain requirements for beekeeping within the City and to avoid issues which might otherwise be associated with beekeeping in populated areas. Compliance with this ordinance shall not be a defense to a proceeding alleging that a given colony constitutes a nuisance, but such compliance may be offered as evidence of the beekeeper’s efforts to abate any proven nuisance. Compliance with this ordinance shall not be a defense to a proceeding alleging that a given colony violates applicable ordinances regarding public health, but such compliance may be offered as evidence of the beekeeper’s compliance with acceptable standards of practice among hobby beekeepers in the State of Minnesota. (B) City Council Approval Required. No person may keep, harbor, maintain or allow to be kept any hive or other facility for the housing of honeybees on or in any parcel in the City without approval of the City Council. If the applicant is a tenant, they must also provide proof of approval by the property owner permitting the keeping of bees on the property. (C) Training and Education Required. Beekeeping training and education is required for beekeeper applicants prior to the approval of the City Council. At the time of request, the beekeeper must submit a certificate of completion of an approved honeybee keeping course. 19 (D) Any person desiring keeping of honeybees shall make written application to the City Manager or designee, accompanied by a site plan of the real property upon which bees are to be kept, showing: 1) A site plan of the parcel showing the location and size of the proposed apiary, setbacks from the apiary to property lines and surrounding buildings, including houses and buildings on adjacent lots; 2) Inclusion of and location of safety fencing, flyaway barriers and water supply; 3) Proof of the applicant having completed coursework on beekeeping acceptable to the City Manager; 4) Agreement that property may be inspected by City at all reasonable times; 5) The property must be in compliance with all other applicable City regulations in order to receive approval. 6) If the applicant fails to maintain the conditions set forth in the Required Conditions Section after issuance of a beekeeping approval, the City Manager or their designee may revoke the approval. 7) The application materials shall include a statement that the applicant will at all times keep the bees in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance and any additional restrictions, limitation conditions or prohibitions specified in the permit as necessary to safeguard public health and general welfare. (E) Residence Required. The beekeeper approved to maintain the apiary must reside upon the parcel in which the apiary is located. (F) Term. Permission for beekeeping will be valid as long as the applicant continues to comply with the terms of this section. Any finding of non-compliance, or lapse of continued use for more than 12 months shall require a new request prior to re- establishment of any beekeeping on the subject parcel. (G) Limitations for Allergies. The property must be in compliance with all other applicable City regulations in order to receive approval and renewal. To ensure that concerns over bee allergies are addressed, the City shall notify property owners of any parcel adjoining or across any public right of way from the applicant’s subject parcel of the date on which the City Council will consider a beekeeping application. The City Council may consider neighboring impacts, including documented bee sting allergies, in their review of an application. (H) Approval Non-transferable. Beekeeping approvals are non-transferable and do not run with the land. (I) Location. 1) Approved beekeeping shall be allowed only on property zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. 2) Hives must be located in the rear yard and must be located a minimum of 15 feet from all property lines and 30 feet from any neighboring building. 3) When a proposed hive location is on a parcel abutting any parcel zoned other than R-1, Single Family Residential, the hive shall be placed on the site in a location that maximizes the distance from the adjoining non-R-1 property. 20 (J) Conditions for Beekeeping Consideration. 1) No more than two colonies may be kept on the subject parcel at the same time. 2) For each colony permitted to be maintained in this Section, there may also be maintained upon the same apiary parcel, one nucleus colony in a hive structure not to exceed one standard nine and five-eighths inch depth box, ten frame hive body with a maximum of five supers. 3) Honeybee colonies must be kept in hives with removable frames which must be kept in sound and usable condition. 4) Each colony on the apiary site must be provided with a convenient source of water which must be located within 10 feet of each active colony. 5) Materials from a hive such as wax combs or other materials that might encourage robbing by other bees must be promptly disposed of in a sealed container or placed within a building or other bee and vermin proof enclosure. 6) Each beekeeper shall maintain their beekeeping equipment in good condition, including keeping the hives painted if they have been painted but are peeling or flaking, and securing unused equipment from weather, potential theft or vandalism and occupancy by swarms. It shall not be a defense to this ordinance that a beekeeper’s unused equipment attracted a swarm and that the beekeeper is not intentionally keeping bees. 7) Hives will be continuously managed to provide adequate living space for their respective honeybees in order to prevent swarming. 8) In any instance in which a colony exhibits unusual aggressive behavior, it is the duty of the beekeeper to promptly re-queen the colony. 1)9) Flyway Barrier: a. Except as otherwise provided in this ordinance, in each instance where a colony is kept less than 25 feet from a property line of the lot upon which the apiary is located, as measured from the nearest point on the hive to the property line, the beekeeper shall establish and maintain a flyway barrier at least 6 feet in height. b. The flyway barrier may consist of a wall, fence, dense vegetation or a combination thereof, such that bees will fly over rather than through the material to reach the colony. c. If a flyway barrier of dense vegetation is used, the initial planting may be 4 feet in height, so long as the vegetation normally reaches 6 feet in height or higher. d. If a wall or fence flyway barrier is used, the materials must be decay resistant, maintained in good condition. A wall or fence flyway barrier shall not exceed the maximum allowable fence height per section 150.072 of City Code. e. The flyway barrier must continue parallel to the apiary lot line for 10 feet in either direction from the hive, or contain the hive or hives in an enclosure at least 6 feet in height. f. A flyway barrier is not required if the parcel adjoining the apiary lot line is (1) 21 undeveloped, or is (2) zoned agricultural or industrial, or is (3) outside of the City limits, or is (4) a wildlife management area or naturalistic park land with no horse or foot trails located within 25 feet of the apiary. If the adjoining property becomes developed, a flyway barrier must be erected according to the specifications of this section. No allowance for a legal nonconformity shall accrue under this subsection. 10) Hives shall be continuously managed to provide adequate living space for their resident honeybees in order to prevent swarming. 11) Where a flyway barrier is required, the hive openings shall face the flyway barrier. (K) Inspections. 1) As part of the approval, each beekeeper must allow an inspection of the apiary site. The City Manager or their designee has the right to inspect any apiary for the purpose of ensuring compliance with this Section upon providing prior notice to the owner of the apiary parcel. In the case of a complaint regarding the apiary, the apiary site may be inspected by the City without prior notice. 2) If an approved apiary site is found to be non-compliant with any requirements of this section, a compliance order shall be issued by the City Manager, or their designee. The owner and/or operator of the apiary shall have up to ten (10) days to bring the apiary into compliance or risk the loss of their approval. 3) If the City Manager orders the revocation of an existing Beekeeping approval, a hearing before the City Council shall be scheduled as follows: a. Scheduling of hearing. If the city makes a determination that it will be revoking an approval pursuant to this subchapter, the City Council shall conduct a hearing on the matter. The hearing shall be scheduled at the next regular City Council meeting following the date of the notice of intent to revoke. b. Hearing. At the hearing, the City Council shall hear all relevant evidence and arguments and shall review all testimony, documents and other evidence submitted. The applicant shall have the opportunity to address the City Council at the hearing. c. Findings. After the hearing is concluded, the City Council shall make findings on whether to uphold the order to revoke. The City Council shall issue a written decision within 30 days following the date of the hearing and shall send a copy of its decision to the owner or operator by mail. (L) Removal or Relocation. 1) If any approved beekeeper serves the community by removing a swarm or swarms of honeybees from locations where they are not desired, that person will not be considered to be in violation of the colony density restrictions of this Section if the following conditions are met: a. The person temporarily houses the honeybees at an apiary site of a beekeeper approved by the City; b. The honeybees are not kept for more than 30 days; and c. The site remains in compliance with the other provisions of this Section. 22 2) Any resident who has lost their approval shall not be eligible for a new approval. 3) Any resident who voluntarily forfeits the approved colony may reapply for a new approval in the future. 4) Any resident who wishes to transport the approved colony must first establish a new permission in whichever jurisdiction they plan to relocate to if required in said jurisdiction. Section 2. The City Clerk is hereby directed to make the changes required by this Ordinance as part of the Official St. Anthony City Code, Title XI, and to renumber the tables and chapters accordingly as necessary to provide the intended effect of this Ordinance. The City Clerk is further directed to make necessary corrections to any internal citations that result from said renumbering process, provided that such changes retain the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance as has been adopted. Section 3. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force from and after its passage and publication. This ordinance may be published by summary publication, per a duly adopted resolution of the City Council. The ordinance in its entirety and any related map shall be posted on the City website after publication.

ADOPTED BY the St. Anthony City Council this ____ day of ______, 2024. __________________________________ Wendy Webster, Mayor ATTEST: ___________________________________ Jennifer Doyle, City Clerk AYES: NAYS: 23 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK 24 MEMORANDUM To:Mayor Webster and St. Anthony Village City Council From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date:City Council Meeting – June 11, 2024 GC Project No.140.00 Request:Cannabis – Zoning Ordinance Amendments Property Address: NA Property PID:NA PROJECT DESCRIPTION As the City has discussed, the State of Minnesota has passed legislation during the 2023 legislative session legalizing various aspects of cannabis use, sales, agriculture, and manufacturing. This legislation follows 2022 legalization of certain low-potency hemp-based THC products. The City of St. Anthony subsequently adopted regulations for hemp-THC products. In August of 2023, the City adopted a moratorium on cannabis-related businesses (as authorized by the legislation), in anticipation of the State’s establishment of agency and rule- making activities. The State has created the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) to carry out the requirements of the legislation, with an originally-anticipated start date of January, 2025. While that date may shift some, the City is seeking to update its zoning regulations to comply with the local land use impacts of the legislation. Included with this memo is a draft ordinance establishing basic zoning regulations in this regard, based on additional research and the Planning Commission’s discussion at its April and May 2024 meetings. One aspect of the City’s regulation to note is personal cannabis use, which was legalized by the 2023 legislation, took effect in August of last year. As a part of that process, the City separately established a prohibition on smoking in public places, which is applicable to any smoking or product. That aspect of the City’s regulation is not further addressed by the materials for this review. As additional guidance and requirements are adopted by the Office of Cannabis Management and/or the League of Minnesota Cities, additional changes or amendments are likely to follow this proposed amendment. 25 June 11, 2024 Page 2 CITY COUNCIL ACTION Staff requests that the City Council consider adoption of the attached Ordinance 2024-03 As a zoning regulation, it may be adopted in a single reading, or the Council may consider the item over three readings as is common to other Ordinance amendments as desired. Staff recommends that the moratorium ordinance enacted last August continue in force as further materials are generated by the State of Minnesota over the next several months. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed regulations and ordinance at a discussion meeting in April, and then at a public hearing at its May 21, 2024 regular meeting. No members of the public submitted comments, nor were any present to comment at the hearing. The Commission voted to recommend approval of the proposed ordinance, with the bulk of the discussion centered on the prospective buffer distance between commercial childcare facilities and any cannabis retailer. The statute permits the City to create a buffer of up to 500 feet for such facilities. The Planning Commission believes that this distance was overly restrictive, given the nature of the uses, and the mapping of potential exclusion zones if adopted to the fullest extent. Following its discussion, the Commission recommends a separation buffer of 100 feet between cannabis retailers and licensed commercial childcare facilities. BACKGROUND AND REVIEW The cannabis topic is complex and has many facets that impact local government. For the purposes of this review, these materials limited to impacts on land use regulation and zoning. For most of this, the requirements will be addressing business regulation – business type, location, and related concerns. Municipal sales, law enforcement, and other administrative or General Code aspects of the law are left to separate consideration by City Council. Land Use Aspects of Cannabis Legalization. The legislation creates several categories of licensing for Cannabis business activity. The State OCM will assume all requirements for licensing of cannabis businesses, including retailers, manufacturers, transporters, and warehousing. The law includes all types of cannabis product, including hemp-THC products and medical cannabis. The law provides that the City may not prohibit the business uses for cannabis products due merely because of the nature of the product. Therefore, where the City allows manufacturing, a business that manufactures a cannabis product licensed by the State must be accommodated. There can be no additional limits for these businesses, such as number of licensees, proximity to other uses, etc. Included in the types of licensed businesses are retailers, however, retailing can be limited by the City under specific circumstances. There are six categories of retail business that are called out for these limitations: Cannabis “Mezzo-businesses”, Cannabis “Micro-businesses”, 26 June 11, 2024 Page 3 Cannabis Retailers, Medical Cannabis Retailers, Medical Cannabis Combination Business, and Low-Potency Edible Hemp Retailer. Cannabis “Mezzo-“ and “Micro-“ businesses are essentially processor facilities that may, if licensed and appropriate under local zoning, qualify for a retail sales license as a component of their industrial enterprise. The difference relates to licensed processing space – up to 5,000 square feet for “Micro-business”, and from 5,001 to 15,000 square feet for “Mezzo-business”. Cannabis retailers, by contrast, are specifically retail-oriented, in which no industrial activity (manufacturing, processing, etc,) occurs. Medical cannabis retailing or combination businesses are those that may retail consumer products, but are also licensed to dispense medical cannabis treatments. Low potency Hemp retailers are those that are currently eligible to sell such products under the prior 2022 legislation. In St. Anthony, those potential locations are limited to only those also with a current tobacco sales license. Local Limitations. The legislation permits the City to limit cannabis sales, with specific limitations on that authority. Essentially, those limitations are as follows: a.The State OCM will assume authority for licensing all cannabis and hemp-related businesses. b.As a part of the State’s licensing process, the OCM will contact the local government to know if the City will “register” the business location, which is an information process, not a licensing authority. Zoning compliance will be an aspect of local “registration”. c.A City may not enact any ordinance that has the effect of prohibiting cannabis businesses. d.A City must provide for an allowance of at least one cannabis-retail facility, whether that is a “Micro-“ or “Mezzo-“ business, a cannabis retailer. This allowance increases by one additional business for each 12,500 residents. e.St. Anthony’s current population of under 10,000 requires the allowance of at least one licensed retailer. The City may by ordinance limit the number of licensees to its minimum registration of one retail location, although the City is not required to do so. f.The law permits the City to limit the location of cannabis businesses by routine zoning, and also by a separation distance from certain listed land uses. This allowance appears to relate to any cannabis business, not just retailers. g.The law permits the City to enact a minimum distance of 500 feet separation from any daycare, residential treatment center, or an “attraction within a public park that is regularly used by minors, including a playground or athletic field”. There are three commercial daycare operations in the City that are within 500 feet of Commercial or Industrial zoned properties – these are highlighted on an attached map. All of these would create exclusion zones prohibiting cannabis businesses around them if the City adopts the separation distance. h.The law permits the City to enact a minimum distance of 1,000 feet separation from any school. There are three school sites in the City – Wilshire Park Elementary, St. Anthony Middle and High Schools, and St. Charles Boromeo School. None of these schools are within 1,000 of any Commercial or Industrial zoned land. i.Based on a preliminary analysis, the distances from the City’s parklands are all more than 500 feet to any commercial or industrial zoned land (Emerald, Silverwood, or 27 June 11, 2024 Page 4 Central Parks), or are already in excluded areas due to daycare locations (Silver Point and Trillium Parks). j.Salo Park – if included – could have a separation distance would exclude most of the Silver Lake Village shopping center area (including Cub Foods and the City’s municipal liquor store). However, Salo is identified in the City’s system planning as a stormwater facility, not technically a park. Moreover, few of the activities are designed to specifically attract minors. As such, no separation distance would apply. k.Regardless of the allowance to require separation, the law requires that the City may not enact a separation distance that has the practical effect of prohibiting the location of a cannabis business in the City. It appears from this preliminary analysis that 1.Enactment of a separation distance for schools would not impact any Commercial or Industrial property; 2.Enactment of a 500 foot separation for daycare locations would impact some Commercial and Industrial properties in the south portion of the City, but retain eligibility for such use in some other portions of those districts. 3.Enactment of a 500 foot separation for parks where minors commonly use the facility would not impact the City’s primary park system properties. In summary, the primary zoning separation requirements would apply to the daycare facilities in the south portion of the community as follows: 3055 Old Hwy 8 (Ikram Child Care): Any exclusion distance for the daycare facilities at 3055 Old Hwy 8 would result in a prohibition of retail sales for other potential commercial/industrial uses on that site. Depending on the separation distance chosen, the industrial property south of Highway 88 could be impacted – the closest distance to those areas appears to be approximately 270 feet. 2812 Anthony Lane South (Jack and Jill Preschool and Childcare): This daycare parcel is located in an industrial park area. Exclusion of cannabis businesses of any distance will impact some potential retail locations, primarily as a part of a “micro-“ or “mezzo-“ business which does some form of industrial processing and proposes to also sell retail products as an aspect of the business. The number of parcels impacted will depend on the separation distance chosen. 2955 Pentagon Drive (Step by Step Montessori): This facility is located in the St. Anthony Shopping Center, zoned Commercial. Much of the shopping center area would be prohibited from retail sales, again depending on the size of the separation distance adopted. As noted, the statute permits (but does not require) the City to create exclusion distances from schools, parks, and childcare facilities to any cannabis facility that includes retail sales. For St. Anthony, the proximity of schools and parks to any potential Commercial or Industrial site is not applicable, given the geography and land use pattern. The primary issue would be the location of childcare facilities in the south portion of the city. There are three such facilities that would, if a separation distance is adopted, create an exclusion area for surrounding property. 28 June 11, 2024 Page 5 At its April meeting, the Planning Commission discussed whether the exclusion area was relevant to daycare, based on an assumption that unlike schools and parks, there is less likely to be unsupervised child presence using daycare facilities. The zoning action for the City would be an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that eliminates the current total prohibition of cannabis businesses, and replacement with language related to separation where applicable. Although no impacts are foreseen for Schools and Parks as noted, staff would recommend adoption of the full State-allowed exclusion area for those uses (1,000 feet for schools, and 500 feet for parks). There continue to be discussions at the State level (both legislatively and agency-driven) that will continue to refine aspects of the law. As such, these protections would be consistent with the allowances, and address any unforeseen circumstances until additional guidance is provided. Guidance is likely to come from a variety of sources, including both the League of Minnesota Cities and the Office of Cannabis Management (in the form of a model ordinance). For childcare facilities, there is likely to be some pressure to adopt a limited separation zone from retail cannabis outlets. As noted, the full 500 feet would significantly limit retail outlets in the south area of the City. A distance of 250 feet would have a lesser impact, but still affect some potential sales locations. In the alternative, the City could create a limitation that prohibits retail sales on premises that abut a parcel with childcare, rather than default to the distance allowance. This would be effectively the same as a “1-foot” buffer. The attached draft ordinance incorporates alternative language for Planning Commission review and discussion. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION If acceptable to the Commission, staff asks that the Commission further discuss the separation distance aspects of the potential regulations, and raise other issues as they may impact a final ordinance adoption. With these comments, and if the proposed Ordinance amendments reflect those discussions, forwarding the zoning amendment to the City Council would be in order. SUMMARY AND STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS If the Planning Commission is in agreement, staff recommends approval of a draft zoning regulation that creates the separation distances for schools (1,000 feet), parks (500 feet – specifically for Central Park, Emerald Park, Silver Point Park, Trillium Park, and Water Tower Park), and either a specific distance or an “abutting property” separation for childcare facilities, and noted in this report.

Statutes Section 342.13 [342.13] LOCAL CONTROL. (a) A local unit of government may not prohibit the possession, transportation, or use of cannabis flower, cannabis products, lower-potency hemp edibles, or hemp-derived consumer products authorized under this chapter. (b) Except as provided in section 342.22, a local unit of government may not prohibit the establishment or operation of a cannabis business licensed under this chapter. (c) A local unit of government may adopt reasonable restrictions on the time, place, and manner of the operation of a cannabis business provided that such restrictions do not prohibit the establishment or operation of cannabis businesses. A local unit of government may prohibit the operation of a cannabis business within 1,000 feet of a school, or 500 feet of a day care, residential treatment facility, or an attraction within a public park that is regularly used by minors, including a playground or athletic field. (d) The office shall work with local units of government to: (1) develop model ordinances for reasonable restrictions on the time, place, and manner of the operation of a cannabis business; (2) develop standardized forms and procedures for the issuance of a retail registration pursuant to section 342.22; and (3) develop model policies and procedures for the performance of compliance checks required under section 342.22. (e) If a local unit of government is conducting studies or has authorized a study to be conducted or has held or has scheduled a hearing for the purpose of considering adoption or amendment of reasonable restrictions on the time, place, and manner of the operation of a cannabis business, the governing body of the local unit of government may adopt an interim ordinance applicable to all or part of its jurisdiction for the purpose of protecting the planning process and the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens. Before adopting the interim ordinance, the governing body must hold a public hearing. The interim ordinance may regulate, restrict, or prohibit the operation of a cannabis business within the jurisdiction or a portion thereof until January 1, 2025. (f) Within 30 days of receiving a copy of an application from the office, a local unit of government shall certify on a form provided by the office whether a proposed cannabis business complies with local zoning ordinances and, if applicable, whether the proposed business complies with the state fire code and building code. The office may not issue a license if a cannabis business does not meet local zoning and land use laws. (g) Upon receipt of an application for a license issued under this chapter, the office shall contact the local unit of government in which the business would be located and provide the local unit of government with 30 days in which to provide input on the application. The local unit of government may provide the office with any additional information it believes is relevant to the office's decision on whether to issue a license, 30 June 11, 2024 Page 7 including but not limited to identifying concerns about the proposed location of a cannabis business, or sharing public information about an applicant. (h) The office by rule shall establish an expedited complaint process to receive, review, and respond to complaints made by a local unit of government about a cannabis business. Complaints may include alleged violations of local ordinances or other alleged violations. At a minimum, the expedited complaint process shall require the office to provide an initial response to the complaint within seven days and perform any necessary inspections within 30 days. Nothing in this paragraph prohibits a local unit of government from enforcing a local ordinance. If a local unit of government notifies the office that a cannabis business other than a cannabis retailer, cannabis microbusiness with a retail operations endorsement, cannabis mezzobusiness, lower-potency hemp edible retailer, medical cannabis retailer, or medical cannabis combination business poses an immediate threat to the health or safety of the public, the office must respond within one business day and may take any action described in section 342.19 or 342.21. (i) A local government unit that issues cannabis retailer registration under section 342.22 may, by ordinance, limit the number of licensed cannabis retailers, cannabis mezzobusinesses with a retail operations endorsement, and cannabis microbusinesses with a retail operations endorsement to no fewer than one registration for every 12,500 residents. (j) If a county has one active registration for every 12,500 residents, a city or town within the county is not obligated to register a cannabis business. (k) Nothing in this section shall prohibit a local government unit from allowing licensed cannabis retailers in excess of the minimums set in paragraph (i). (l) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the state shall not issue a license to any cannabis business to operate in Indian country, as defined in United States Code, title 18, section 1151, of a Minnesota Tribal government without the consent of the Tribal government. 31 June 11, 2024 Page 8 Exhibit B - Preliminary Map of Separation Distance Impacts Daycare locations – Approximate 500’ exclusion zone (not to exact scale) 32 ORDINANCE 2024-03 CITY OF ST.
