MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT 11-01 -ORDINANCE PROHIBITING MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES -At the City Council meeting of June 30, 2009, and after hearing and considering public testimony, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 877 establishing an interim urgency ordinance prohibiting Medical Marijuana Dispensaries for a period of forty-five days. As the Government Code allows the City to extend Ordinance 877 for a period of 10 months and 15 days, the City Council did so at its meeting of August 11, 2009 by adopting Ordinance No. 879 after hearing and considering further public testimony. Thus, Ordinance No. 879 was made valid until June 25, 2010. The Government code allowed the City Council one final extension to the interim urgency ordinance prohibiting Medical Marijuana Dispensaries for the period of one year. On May 11, 2010 the City Council adopted its last and final extension of the urgency ordinance prohibiting Medical Marijuana Dispensaries by adopting Ordinance No. 895. This final extension is set to expire on May 10, 2011. Therefore, staff is coming forward with a permanent Medical Marijuana Dispensary ban ordinance for the Planning Commission’s recommendation to the City Council to adopt the proposed ordinance.
