COUNCIL MEMORANDUM DRAFT ORDINANCE DISCUSSION REGARDING MEDICAL MARIHUANA FACILITIES, AUTHORIZED UNDER THE MEDICAL MARIHUANA FACILITATES LICENSING ACT, PUBLIC ACT 281 OF 2016, MCL 333.27101, ET. SEQ. Background In November 2008, the Michigan voters passed the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, 2008 IL 1. 1 The Michigan Medical Marihuana Act ( MMMA ) was passed by the voters of the State of Michigan by a margin of 63% to 37%. While the passage of the MMMA allowed medical marihuana patients and caregivers to have defenses from prosecution under state law, federal law still considers marihuana a Schedule 1 narcotic and possession of marihuana is still subject to prosecution under federal law. Based on the MMMA and its limited regulatory frame work, municipalities adopted varied approaches to recognize and attempt to regulate the MMMA. The City of Ferndale adopted zoning ordinance amendments and a regulatory ordinance to establish regulations for medical marihuana facilitates under the city s general powers granted by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and the Home Rules City Act, MCL 117.1 et. seq., as amended. The ordinance and zoning ordinance amendments were initially adopted in 2010. Subsequent to that date, four (4) entities have applied to the city and obtained special land use approval under the city s ordinances while a fifth applicant submitted an application presented its application to the planning commission and the application was tabled by the Ferndale Planning Commission. (See attached City of Ferndale Medical Marihuana Information Memo regarding current facilities and locations) During the summer of 2016, Council directed its administration to suspend consideration of new Medical Marihuana Facility applications under the city s existing regulatory ordinance, in part, based on the State of Michigan s planned passage of the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act, Public Act 281 of 2016, MCL 333.27101, et. seq., ( MMFLA ) until after July 1, 2017 for administration to consider the new state legislation and make recommendations to Council regarding what types of marihuana facilities, if any, Council should consider authorizing 1 During the November 2008 election, the City of Ferndale s electors also considered and approved a Charter amendment authorizing and regulating the use of medical marihuana in the City of Ferndale. 1 Page 3 of 20
under the new MMFLA and whether there should be any limitation on numbers or types of such facilities in the city. The City administration, including representatives of the police department, fire department, community and economic development department, building department and city manager s office have reviewed the new legislation, the existing regulatory and zoning ordinance provisions and the current facilities approved under the City s existing ordinances. The existing facilities (which are limited under their special land use approval to having a specific number of qualified caregivers and serving their patients only) are, to the extent that they are open, as provided in the special land use approval, grandfathered only to the extent of their respective special land use approval and are not authorized under the MMFLA. The MMFLA authorizes five categories of state operating license holders. These include, growers, processors, provisioning centers, safety compliance facilities and secure transporters. Each of these categories is a particular limited commercial entity which is defined in the Act (also defined in the draft ordinance). The general consensus of the city administrative review is that, to the extent Council seeks to permit certain marihuana facilities as authorized under MMFLA to be located within the City of Ferndale that such authorization should not include growers, processors or secure transporters. The principal concerns associated with the grower and processor categories is the concern of adverse effects on neighboring properties because of odors, environmental concerns, fire safety concerns and limited City resources necessary to manage and ensure compliance and safety of such premises. The administration also recommends not authorizing secure transporters with the city identifying principal concerns that included potential adverse impacts to adjacent properties because of potential storage of marihuana and potential for increased criminal activity regarding the transporter vehicles being potential targets of crime. The general consensus of administration recommends the city consider allowing three (3) safety compliance facilities within the city. Safety compliance facilities are state operated licensees that are commercial entities that receive marihuana from a marihuana facility or registered primary caregiver, tested for contaminants and for tetrahydrocannabinol and other cannabinoids, returns the test results, and return the marihuana to the marihuana facility or registered primary caregiver. The administration deemed this laboratory use to have a minimal adverse impact on surrounding properties and a potential endeavor that may utilize and employ a high skilled work force. Note-the police department did recommend that the City not authorize this category of Marihuana Facility and expressed a concern over increased law enforcement time and costs and a potential increase of crime, including robbery from safety compliance facilities. 2 Page 4 of 20
Finally, the administration recommends Council consider allowing up to three provisioning centers within the city. Provisioning centers means a state operating licensee that is a commercial entity located in the city that purchases marihuana from a grower or processor and sells, supplies, or provides marihuana to registered qualified patients directly or through the patients registered primary caregivers. Provisioning centers includes any commercial property where marihuana is sold at retail to registered qualifying patients or registered primary caregivers at non-commercial location used by primary caregivers to assist a qualified patient is not a provisioning center for purposes of the MMFLA or the draft discussion ordinance. Note-the police department did recommend that the City not authorize this category of Marihuana Facility within the City and expressed a concern over increased law enforcement time and costs and a potential increase of crime, including robbery from Provisioning Centers. The administration proposes that any provisioning center be located in the M1, M2 or O2 zoning district and any safety compliance facility be located in the M1 or M2 zoning district. The administration also recommends distance provisions that no marihuana facility be located within 500 feet of any school, day care, church, temple, or other place of worship, park, or other marihuana facility. (A site map identifying zone districts and the noted distance thresholds is attached) The recommendation proposes that a provisioning center or safety Compliance Facility be issued through a special use permit and that such facility be required to have a activated carbon filtration system for odor control, security cameras, along with other noted regulations. It is proposed that provisioning centers be further subject to limited hours of 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday with a maximum square footage of 7,500 square feet of building floor space for a Provisioning Center. It is proposed that should Council consider an ordinance authorizing a particular type or number of marihuana facility that applications not be forwarded for consideration until thirty (30) days after the effective date of the ordinance and after such time, completed applications will be forwarded to Council for consideration and Council would consider factors including, but not limited to financial viability of applicant, number of potential employees of Applicant for proposed location, whether all regulations are met by the Applicant and whether there are any adverse impacts identified by adjoining or nearby properties, adequacy of security plan submitted by Applicant and any adverse factors to the city identified in Applicant s materials. This initial draft ordinance sets forth a general frame work consistent with this memorandum. The state will not begin considering applications for issuance of State operating licensed marihuana facilities until the end of December, 2017. 3 Page 5 of 20
