3 <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 retail ers. <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. Based on this context, staff has developed some general standards for all <br />cannabis businesses. These general standards must be met in addition to applicable <br />performance standards for each business type. In general, cannabis businesses may <br />conduct the operations of multiple cannabis business types, provided that they receive <br />the required license from the OCM for each business type, which includes local zoning <br />approval for each business type. The City shall conduct annual age-verification <br />compliance checks for every cannabis business that conducts retail sales. Signage for <br />cannabis businesses must remain minimal, with two on-site exterior signs permitted <br />that can not advertise cannabis products, and can not be a temporary sign, portable <br />sign, neon sign, window-mounted sign, or a sign lit with static LED, blinking, moving, or <br />flashing lights. All interior signage must not be visible from the exterior of the business. <br />Additionally, all cannabis businesses are required to register with the city after receiving <br />state license approval. <br /> <br />D. 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 <br />fees, process for city council review, approval, and basis for denial, the process for <br />renewal of a registration, the process by which the city addresses violations and <br />grounds for suspension of a registration. State statute sets a limit on how much local <br />governments can charge for registration of cannabis businesses based on the business <br />type. The proposed registration fees are: <br /> <br />Business Type City Initial Fee City Renewal Fee <br />Microbusiness $0 $1,000 <br />Mezzobusiness $500 $1,000 <br />Cultivator $500 $1,000 <br />Manufacturer $500 $1,000 <br />Retailer $500 $1,000 <br />Wholesaler $500 $1,000 <br />Transporter $250 $500 <br />Testing Facility $500 $1,000
