Buffers <br /> <br />While drafting an ordinance, staff considered whether to recommend adoption of <br />buffer requirements for cannabis businesses. State statute allows local governments to <br />require cannabis businesses be buffered up to 1,000 feet fro m a school, or up to 500 <br />feet from a daycare, residential treatment facility, or an attraction within a public park <br />frequently utilized by minors, such as playgrounds and athletic fields. Local <br />governments are encouraged to follow precedent for comparable uses within existing <br />city code. The City of Hugo requires that liquor stores to be 200 feet from schools and <br />churches, and that sexually oriented businesses be 300 feet from several sensitive uses. <br />Staff created maps of the city showing where cannabis businesses would be permitted <br />and different buffer scenarios: the maximum buffer allowed by state statute, a 300-foot <br />buffer from sensitive uses following city code precedent, and a scenario with no buffers <br />in place. Staff found that the existing zoning districts separate noncompatible uses, and <br />that problems were created where adjacent parcels within the same zoning district can <br />suddenly have different permissions. Staff is currently recommending that the cannabis <br />ordinance not include buffers. <br /> <br />G. Performance Standards
