[Music] welcome to agenda Edina a program summarizing the actions taken at City Hall that affect you most I'm your host dorothia Marty the city has identified where cannabis can be sold in Nina once the state's office of cannabis management begins issuing licenses in 2025 since August 2023 adults 21 and older have been allowed to use cannabis in Minnesota however retail sales won't begin until state licenses are issued expected sometime in 2025 under Minnesota law municipalities must allow state issued cannabis licenses but can set local regulations including the number of retailers registration fees and Zoning districts cannabis businesses will be allowed to operate in the city is required to allow one retail registration per every 12,00 500 residents so Idina could limit the number of retailers to five or allow more the city council decided to start with five when it approved ordinance amendments at its latest meeting of November many cities choose to Zone cannabis retailers similar to tobacco and liquor stores in Idina those stores are permitted in the planned commercial District or PCD examples of pcd1 Zone areas for smaller neighborhood businesses are Valley View and Wooddale 44th in France 70th in Kill and Lincoln and London Dairy pcd2 allows for more and slightly larger commercial businesses examples are Grand View and 50th in France PCD 3 allows the most and largest commercial businesses and is limited to the Southdale District so there's actually very little that the city is allowed to control under the new state law one thing we can uh decide is uh where we want to allow cannabis businesses to locate and so um with our update to the zoning ordinance it will allow cannabis retailers to be located in all of our commercial districts um exactly the same as where tobacco and liquor are allowed to go and one thing that does is it um allows for the possibility that Canabis retailers could be kind of spread out rather than just concentrated in one area the local ordinance requires cannabis retailers to be at least 500 ft from schools dayc carees and residential treatment facilities businesses May operate from 10:00 a.m. to 1000 p.m. also according to the updated zoning ordinance cannabis cultivation manufacturing processing wholesaling testing transportation and delivery will be limited to the plant industrial districts all operations must take place in an enclosed building Co
