Notice of Public Hearing: The Notice of Public Hearing relative to second reading of Ordinance 18-1477 was advertised in the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday, May 3, 2018. Staff Presentation: Chief Planner Emily Hanna gave an overview of Ordinance 18-1477. The following two modifications to the City of Casselberry City Code, Part III, Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDR's) Section 2-5.3, Land Use by District and Section 5-21.2, Definitions, to include language as it relates to Pharmacies and Medical Marijuana Dispensaries are being proposed by staff.- Section taff: Section 2-5.3, Table 2-5.3 Land Uses by District will be amended to include a specific land use category for pharmacies. This specific land use will also include medical marijuana dispensaries, since the State of Florida requires municipalities to treat medical marijuana dispensaries like pharmacies. Pharmacies will be broken up into two essential categories: principal and accessory. Principal pharmacies are those whose sole purpose is to sell prescription drugs. An accessory pharmacy is one which is located within and in conjunction with a drugstore or grocery store. Section 5-21.2, Definitions, will be amended to include definitions for land uses as it relates to the changes to Section 2-5.3, Table 2-5.3. These definitions include Drugstore, Grocery Store, Institutional Pharmacy, Medical Marijuana Dispensary and Pharmacy. Modifications are also being made to the Medical Services definition to include allowing Institutional Pharmacies. Staff has made the following minor edits to Ordinance 18-1477 since first reading on March 26, 2018 pertaining only to definitions of terms as they relate to pharmacies and medical marijuana dispensaries: Modifying the definition of Institutional Pharmacy adding that it must be in conjunction with medical services, a hospital, nursing home, clinic or other related medical facility. Modifying the definition of Medical Marijuana Dispensary to change the title to "Medical Marijuana Dispensing Facility", and making modifications to the definition so it aligns with Section 381.986, Florida Statutes. Also adding language to the end of the definition to state "A Medical Marijuana Dispensing Facility does not prepare, transfer, cultivate or process any forms of marijuana." Modifying the definition of Pharmacy to add language that stipulates this specific definition is for the retail dispensing of medicinal drugs for the purpose of the Land Development Code, and expanding on the description of Medical Marijuana Treatment Center Dispensing Facility to relate to Florida Statutes and/or the Florida Administrative Code. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City Budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Chief Planner recommended adoption of Ordinance 18- 1477 on second reading.
