Mr. Anzek noted that the previous night, City Council had placed a |
|
moratorium on activities regulating medical marijuana. Staff had |
|
been getting numerous inquiries in the last several months. When it |
|
was approved by the State in 2008, there was no implementation |
|
guidance that came with the law. The City Attorney and been talking |
|
with other City Attorneys to try and find out the best way to deal with |
|
this issue. The City needed time to sort it out and conduct |
|
appropriate public input meetings with the Planning Commission. |
|
When it was voted on, there was an 80% turnout and Rochester Hills |
|
voted 62% in favor of medical marijuana. He had been talking to |
|
several individuals who offered to come and explain how a care giver |
|
or store front operated. He would bring something forward to the |
|
Planning Commission and City Council so Ordinances could be |
|
developed for consideration. There were a lot of questions and |
|
issues to sort through. He asked the Commissioners to send in any |
|
questions they had and Staff would research. Mr. Kaltsounis asked |
|
Mr. Anzek if he could put together a list of issues the |
|
Commissioners would have to recommend. |
