Medical Marijuana Back Before City Council

Monday, March 16, 2015 @ 3:55 AM

city-hallPrince George, B.C. – Zoning, which would clarify where  and under what  conditions a medical marijuana  grow operation  can be  established,  is back before Prince George City Council as a public hearing will  examine options for where such  facilities should be located. Staff recommend  medical marijuana grow operations be allowed in a new  narcotic (n) sub-zone designation  under the  categories of Agriculture, Agriculture and Forestry, Light Industrial, General Industrial and Business Industrial.

It means  anyone wanting to establish such  an operation would have to apply to have  a rezoning  to   add the (n) designation to the  zoning.

There are also parcel sizes and  setbacks  to be considered,  as well as  certain screening, parking and lighting requirements.

Staff recommend the BCR, Danson and Boundary Road industrial Parks  are the preferred sites for  a medical marijuana grow facility.

I thought there was one at the end of third avenue in the big white building

They should be allowed anywhere a brewery or winery would be.

As long as the facility is properly secured it shouldn’t matter. Since Colorado legalized it, it has brought in over 60 million in revenue. Before that they were spending 140 million on fighting it. 200 million more to spend on health care,schools…..

You’re making the assumption that they stopped fighting it Carpenter. I bet the regulations, control and enforcement dollars have gone up since legalization.

I am assuming we can watch this live off of the city website?
