Community Workshop on Land Use Standards for Potential Future Cannabis Uses
|
6:00PM
City Council Chamber
17555 Peak Avenue
The Morgan Hill Planning Commission will be discussing land use standards for potential future cannabis uses at a public workshop at 6 pm on July 23, 2019. Specifically, the discussion will be what zones are appropriate for different types of cannabis uses and whether buffer distance requirements for potential cannabis uses should exceed state required distances and if so, how much. The regular monthly Planning Commission meeting will start at 7 pm at the conclusion of the workshop.
Background: On February 27, 2019 City Council heard from law enforcement officials, cannabis experts and community members regarding the possibilities for cannabis business in Morgan Hill. The Council ultimately directed staff to report back with potential ordinance options and answers to council questions about retail, manufacturing and testing. This workshop is a first step to developing a draft ordinance for future consideration regarding the location of potential cannabis businesses within the City should City Council choose to allow such uses at a future date.
For more information, please attend the workshop, view the workshop online, view the workshop on Channel 17 or contact the Development Services Department at 408-778-6480
