City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill AGENDA ITEM: ATTACHMENT B COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 8, 2011 SUBJECT: Moratorium on Establishment of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries and Collective Gardens DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: Police Contact: Nelson Beazley, 360-403-3400 ATTACHMENTS: -Proposed Ordinance -Memo regarding land use impacts EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: N/A BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A LEGAL REVIEW: Ordinance reviewed and edited by City Attorney DESCRIPTION: The Police Department, along with City staff, need to evaluate and establish zoning regulations pertaining to Medical Cannabis Collective Gardens as approved with the passage and signing into law of ESSB 5073 (chapter 181, Laws of 2011) by Governor Gregoire. As a result of this same legislation Medical Cannabis Dispensaries continue to remain illegal however future legislation is most likely a certainty. HISTORY: ESSB 5073 (Chapter 181, Laws of 2011) was adopted with a partial veto of the Governor and became effective July 22, 2011 and is incorporated in RCW 69.51A. The law effectively eliminates medical marijuana dispensaries as a legally viable model of operation under State law. The law does authorize certain collective gardens for medical cannabis, but allows cities to regulate those collective gardens. ALTERNATIVES: -Bring back for additional discussion at a later date - Take no action RECOMMENDED ACTION: No action at this time. Staff will request a motion to approve the ordinance to adopt a moratorium on the establishment of medical cannabis dispensaries and collective gardens and the licensing and permitting thereof at the August 15, 2011 Council meeting. Ordinance No. 2011-xxx 1 ORDINANCE NO. 2011-xxx AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON, ADOPTING A MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES, COLLECTIVE GARDENS AND THE LICENSING AND PERMITTING THEREOF; DEFINING “MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARY”; PROVIDING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING; ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND PROVIDING THAT THE MORATORIUM, UNLESS EXTENDED, WILL SUNSET WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS OF THE DATE OF ADOPTION. WHEREAS, Initiative Measure No. 692, approved November 3, 1998, created an affirmative defense for “qualifying patients” to the charge of possession of marijuana; and WHEREAS, the initiative and current Chapter 69.51A RCW are clear that nothing in its provisions are to be “construed to supersede Washington state law prohibiting the acquisition, possession, manufacture, sale or use of marijuana for non-medical purposes”; and WHEREAS, the Washington State Department of Health opines that it is “not legal to buy or sell” medical marijuana and further opines that “the law [Chapter 69.51.A RCW] does not allow dispensaries”, leaving enforcement to local officials; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the sale of marijuana, no matter how designated by dispensaries, is prohibited by federal and state law; and WHEREAS, ESSB 5073 – Chapter 181, Laws of 2011 (“the bill”) was adopted with a partial veto of the Governor and becomes effective July 22, 2011; and WHEREAS, Section 404 of the bill effectively eliminates medical marijuana dispensaries as a legally viable model of operation under State law; and WHEREAS, Section 403 of the bill provides that qualifying patients may create and participate in collective gardens for the purpose of producing, processing, transporting and delivering cannabis for medical use subject to compliance with specific statutory conditions; and WHEREAS, the City acknowledges the right of qualified health care professionals to prescribe the medical use of marijuana as well as the right of patients to designate a “designated provider” who can “provide” rather than sell marijuana to “only one patient at any one time”; and WHEREAS, as part of the process for the adoption of zoning regulations, the land use impacts of medical marijuana or cannabis collective gardens, dispensaries, processing facilities and production facilities must be identified; and Ordinance No. 2011-xxx 2 WHEREAS, many jurisdictions around the country that have approved medical marijuana uses have experienced numerous land use impacts, such as: • conversion of residential uses into marijuana cultivation and processing facilities, removing valuable housing stock in a community; • degrading neighborhood aesthetics due to shuttered up homes, offensive odors, increased night-time traffic, parking issues, and loitering from potential purchasers looking to buy from a collective member; • environmental damages from chemicals being discharged into surrounding and off- site soil and storm and sanitary sewer systems; • serious risk of fire hazard due to overloaded service connections used to operate grow lights and fans; • improper ventilation leading to high levels of moisture and mold; • illegal structural modifications; and • criminal issues such as home invasions, burglaries of medical marijuana facilities, theft and property damage; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 1102 of the bill and under their general zoning and police powers cities are authorized to adopt and enforce zoning requirements, business licensing requirements, health and safety requirements and business taxes on the production, processing or dispensing of cannabis or cannabis products; and WHEREAS, unless a moratorium is imposed, collective gardens may be established within the City of Arlington while the City lacks the necessary tools to ensure that the location is appropriate and that the secondary impacts of such facilities are minimized and mitigated; and WHEREAS, the City Council may impose a moratorium on the acceptance of certain development applications for a period of up to six months as long as the City Council holds a public hearing on the proposed regulations in accordance with RCW 35A.63.220 and RCW 36.70A.390; and WHEREAS, the City Council, after considering the public comment taken and information provided by staff, deems it to be in the public interest to establish a moratorium related to medical cannabis collective gardens until the City can consider all of the land use impacts of collective gardens, draft regulations, hold hearings and adopt regulations on the subject in light of the new legislation. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Arlington, Washington, do ordain as follows: Section 1. Findings. The recitals set forth above are hereby adopted as the Arlington City Council's findings in support of the moratorium imposed by this ordinance. Section 2. Pursuant to the provisions of RCW 36.70A.390, a zoning moratorium is hereby enacted in the City of Arlington prohibiting licensing, permitting, establishment, Ordinance No. 2011-xxx 3 maintenance or continuation of any use consisting of or including the sale, provision and/or dispensing of medical marijuana to more than one person, the establishment of a medical marijuana dispensary or creation of or participation in a “collective garden” as referenced and defined in Section 403 of ESSB 5073 – Chapter 181, Laws of 2011. Section 3. “Medical marijuana dispensary” is hereby defined as any person, business, corporation, partnership, joint venture, organization, association and/or other entity which: 1) sells, provides and/or otherwise dispenses marijuana to more than one “qualifying patient” in any thirty (30) day period or to any person who does not meet the definition of “qualifying patient” under the terms of Chapter 69.51A RCW , and/or 2) maintains and/or possesses more than one sixty-day supply of marijuana for one qualifying patient at any time. The receipt of cash or other legal tender in exchange for, contemporaneously with or immediately following the delivery of marijuana to a qualifying patient shall be presumed to be a sale. Any person, business, corporation, partnership, joint venture, organization, association and/ or entity which sells, provides and/or otherwise dispenses marijuana to more than one qualifying patient in any sixty (60) day period, should be presumed to be a “medical marijuana dispensary.” Section 4. Medical marijuana dispensaries and collective gardens are hereby designated as prohibited uses in the City of Arlington, in accordance with the provisions of RCW 35A.82.020, no business license, permit, zoning or development approval shall be issued to be a medical marijuana dispensary or collective garden. Section 5. Referral to Staff and Planning Commission. The Arlington Community Development Director is hereby authorized and directed to develop draft regulations regarding marijuana or cannabis dispensaries, production facilities, and processing facilities. The regulations shall be referred to the Arlington Planning Commission for review and recommendation for inclusion in the zoning ordinances of the City of Arlington. Section 6. Ordinance to be Transmitted to Department. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.106, a copy of this interim ordinance shall be transmitted to the Washington State Department of Commerce. Section 7. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance should be held to be unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance. Section 8. Declaration of Emergency. The City Council hereby declares that an emergency exists necessitating that this ordinance take effect immediately upon passage by a majority vote plus one of the whole membership of the Council, and that the same is not subject to a referendum (RCW 35A.12.130). Without an immediate moratorium on the City’s acceptance of development applications for the establishment of any medical marijuana or cannabis collective gardens, collective gardens could locate and develop in a manner incompatible with the codes eventually adopted by the City. Therefore, the moratorium must be imposed as an emergency measure to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. Ordinance No. 2011-xxx 4 Section 9. Publication. This ordinance shall be published by an approved summary consisting of the title. Section 10. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect immediately upon passage as long as it is approved by a majority plus one of the entire membership of the City Council, as required by RCW 35A.12.130; provided, however, that unless extended by act of the City Council, this ordinance shall automatically expire six (6) months following its adoption.

HISTORY: The City operates a sewer main along the 67th Ave alignment; this main is referred to as the City’s “trunk” sewer main as it collects wastewater from minor sewer collector mains throughout the City. This main starts out as a 36-inch pipe near the wastewater treatment plant, then reduces to a 24-inch pipe, then reduces to a 15-inch line and is a 12-inch pipe at the end of the 67th Ave Trunk line. There are times when the flow in the 12” section of the 67th Trunk main reaches 10-inches deep, meaning that the 67th Trunk main is at its capacity and needs to be upsized. The City worked with it Sewer Comp Plan consultant to model the 67th Trunk Main and determine what sized pipe would need to be installed to accommodate future growth. This presentation summarizes the current status of that planning exercise. ALTERNATIVES: • None. RECOMMENDED ACTION: • No action, presentation of study currently underway.
