The OCM requires that license <br />applications receive a certificate of local compliance from the local government where <br />the license is being proposed for. Cannabis microbusinesses and cannabis <br />mezzobusinesses are businesses that can apply for endorsements on their state license <br />to perform multiple business activities, such as cultivation, manufacturing, and/or retail <br />sales but on a smaller scale than general cultivators, manufacturers, and retailers. <br /> <br />C. General Standards for all Cannabis Businesses <br /> <br />The OCM’s Guide for Local Governments on Adult -Use Cannabis provides some context <br />for how different cannabis business types may fit into a city’s existing zoning <br />framework.

Registration of Cannabis Businesses <br /> <br />State statute requires that cannabis businesses that operate retail sales to customers or <br />patients register with the local government in which the retail establishment is located. <br />Staff is proposing that the city require registration of all cannabis businesses, including <br />retailers. Since the state issues and controls cannabis business licenses, requiring local <br />registration allows the city to have an extra review of each business seeking to locate <br />within the city. <br /> <br />Section 90-280(c) of the draft ordinance outlines the procedure by which cannabis <br />businesses will register with the city, including: the initial registration application and
