Discussion regarding the establishment and operation of any structures or uses relating
to collective gardens, marijuana production, marijuana processing, or marijuana retailing
in the City of Edmonds.
Rob Chave introduced the discussion, reviewing the map that illustrated potential buffers
established by the Liquor Control Board's current rules, which are moving toward becoming final.
Although many areas of the city are covered by buffers, some of the neighborhood commercial
areas (Five Corners, Perrinville, Westgate) are not within a buffer. Highway 99 contains some
areas that are potential sites for retail outlets. Under the LCB's rules, Edmonds is potentially
slated for two retail stores. The Committee discussed options, and felt that the CG and CG2
zones along Highway 99 made the most sense as zones to allow production, processing and
retail businesses.
J. Continued discussion on developing a decision tree for Harbor Square deliberations.
Item not discussed.
The meeting adjourned at 9:54 p.m.
