Requesting the City to help with the installation.
HISTORY: Each year the Arlington Arts Council raises funds through the annual art auction to

AAC public art committee, from 4 submissions. The proposal went to the Parks, Arts, and
Recreation Commission on July 19. The PARC commission approved the proposal and is
recommending that City Council accept the proposal.

-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:
I move to approve the ordinance to adopt a moratorium on the establishment of medical
cannabis dispensaries and collective gardens and the licensing and permitting thereof.
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

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)

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

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

unless extended by act of the City Council, this ordinance shall automatically expire six (6)
months following its adoption.

LEGAL REVIEW: Pending final review by City Attorney
DESCRIPTION: Following the August 1, 2011 Public Hearing on updates to the 2010 Arlington

Water System Comprehensive Plan.
HISTORY: As required by WAC 246-290-100, the City of Arlington updated its Water

safely and efficiently operate and maintain the water system for the next six years (2010-2016).
The Plan also includes a six year financial analysis of the Water Utility that examines the
projected revenues and expenses required for the implementation of the Plan. A copy of the
draft plan was provided to Marysville and the Snohomish County PUD for a concurrency
review; their comments were addressed in the Sep 2010 adopted version.
A copy of the plan was also provided to the Department of Health for their review and
approval. However, due to lengthy review by DOH, the City was not able to address and
incorporate DOH’s comments in time for the Sep 2010 adoption. This version includes all
comments.
ALTERNATIVES:

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to pass an ordinance adopting updates to the 2010 Arlington Water System
