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.
