ITEM TITLE:
Title
Motion 22-337, referring proposed code revisions relating to marijuana retail to the Department of Planning and Development Services and the Snohomish County Planning Commission
body
DEPARTMENT: County Council
ORIGINATOR: Ryan Countryman for Jared Mead
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: TBD
PURPOSE: The motion would refer proposed code revisions related to marijuana retail to Planning and Development Services (PDS) and the Snohomish County Planning Commission for consideration and recommendation back to the County Council.
BACKGROUND: CM Mead is seeking a recommendation from PDS and the Planning Commission on the proposed ordinance which would make three types of changes. (1) The amendments would codify the first-in-time provisions in Rule 18-01. They would also address the potential circumstance where a permitted marijuana retail business might seek to move locations. The proposal gives existing permitted retail locations priority over prospective new business locations. (2) The distance separation in rural zones would increase to 10,000 feet (nearly two miles) in rural zones. This reflects the lower rural residential densities compared to urban areas. The intent is to respond to prior concerns about the concentration of marijuana businesses in rural areas. (3) Marijuana retail would become permitted in CRC zoning again through the conditional use permit process. This is the same process as now required for marijuana retail in other zones where that allow it.
