CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of February 12, 2018 — Regular Meeting Page 8 of 12 "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, EXTENDING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM FOR NINETY DAYS; PROHIBITING THE OPERATION OF ANY MEDICAL MARIJUANA TREATMENT CENTER DISPENSING FACILITIES WITHIN THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, AND THE ISSUANCE OF BUSINESS TAX RECEIPTS, BUILDING PERMITS, DEVELOPMENT ORDERS OR LAND USE/ZONING PERMITS FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA TREATMENT CENTER DISPENSING FACILITIES WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE CITY AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND ENACT REGULATIONS GOVERNING SAID ACTIVITIES; PROVIDING DEFINITIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDY FOR ASSERTIONS OF VESTED RIGHTS AND PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES RELATING TO SUCH ASSERTIONS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Chief Planner Emily Hanna gave a brief overview of Ordinance 18-1474, explaining that if approved the ordinance would extend the existing medical marijuana moratorium for an additional 90 days. She explained that in 2016, the City of Casselberry had adopted an ordinance which allowed for medical marijuana dispensaries within the City within specific locations and with certain performance criteria; however, in 2017 the Legislature had passed Senate Bill 8A which mandated that municipalities either regulate medical marijuana facilities like pharmacies or ban them outright. She advised that with the passage of Senate Bill 8A the legislation enacted by the City did not meet statutory requirements so the ordinance was repealed by the City Commission and a 180 -day moratorium had been enacted. She further advised that the 180 -day moratorium was set to expire February 24, 2018 and Ordinance 18-1474 would extend it an additional 90 days. She added that staff was currently working on drafting a new ordinance which would allow medical marijuana facilities within the City and which would comply with the statutes, and the extension of the moratorium would allow them time to complete the ordinance and bring it to the City Commission for consideration. In response to questions from the Commission, Ms. Hanna advised that the ordinance would be going to the Planning and Zoning Commission in March and the City Commission could expect to have the ordinance before them to be considered for adoption within the next 90 days.
