ISSUE:
The City Code currently imposes separation requirements that prohibit medical marijuana
centers and retail marijuana stores (those facilities that may sell marijuana and marijuana
products to the public) from locating within 1,000 feet of a school, residential child care facility,
alcohol or drug treatment facility or the principal campus of a college, university, or seminary.
Existing separation requirements further prohibit medical marijuana centers from locating within
three- quarters of a mile of another medical marijuana center. Retail marijuana stores are
CAF — MJ Infused Products
June 23, 2014
Page 2
prohibited from locating within three- quarters of a mile of another retail marijuana store or of a
medical marijuana center, unless the retail store and medical marijuana center are being operated
as a dual retail business.
This ordinance imposes similar separation requirements on medical marijuana - infused products
manufacturers and retail marijuana products manufacturers. The ordinance also harmonizes the
separation requirements set forth in the City's retail marijuana regulations and medical marijuana
regulations to remedy minor inconsistencies. Finally, the ordinance eliminates the authorization
for medical marijuana - infused products manufacturers and retail marijuana products
manufacturers to locate in the C -1 zone district, leaving the I -E zone district as the only zone
district in which manufacturers could locate in the future. The substance of these amendments is
as follows:
1. Manufacturers (both retail and medical marijuana) may not locate within 1,000 feet of a
school, residential child care facility, alcohol or drug treatment facility or the principal
campus of a college, university, or seminary.
2. Manufacturers may not locate within one - quarter (1/4) mile of any other marijuana
product manufacturer (retail or medical) unless a retail marijuana products manufacturer
and medical marijuana- infused product manufacturer are operating as a dual
manufacturing business.
3. Language is added to restrict medical marijuana centers from locating within 3 / of a retail
marijuana store to mirror the converse restriction that is currently in place (retail stores
may not locate within 3 / of a mile of a medical marijuana center).
4. Language is added to the medical marijuana regulations to state how distances will be
measured, as is done in the retail marijuana regulations.
5. The manner of measuring between marijuana businesses (from property line to property
line) is clarified.
6. The Community Development Director is designated as the party responsible for
determining pedestrian routes to eliminate possible ambiguity when multiple routes are
available.
7. The Table of Uses for Commercial and Industrial zone districts in the zoning code
(Chapter 26) is amended to eliminate medical marijuana - infused products manufacturers
and retail marijuana products manufacturers as permitted uses in the C -I zone district.
The current moratorium on all City action related to new applications for medical marijuana -
infused products manufacturers and retail marijuana products manufacturers is scheduled to
expire on July 27. This ordinance would become effective on July 1 and would repeal the
current moratorium as of July 1 S `
PRIOR ACTION:
At the April 28, 2014 City Council meeting, the Council approved an emergency ordinance
enacting a 90 -day moratorium on the acceptance and processing of new applications for
marijuana infused products (MIP) manufacturing licenses, permits, land use approvals, etc. The
stated purpose of the moratorium was to give the Council an opportunity to review and evaluate
CAF — MJ Infused Products
June 23, 2014
Page 3
the City's existing regulations governing MIPs in relation to locational requirements, potential
land use impacts and zoning issues generally.
At its May 19, 2014 study session, the City Council reviewed the issues and discussed regulato
options. Consensus was reached to direct co:%it +
M bove. The Planning Commission is scheduled to conduct a hearing on the ordinance on June
I 91h and formulate its recommendation on the ordinance, to be forwarded to the Council prior to
Council's second reading of the ordinance.
Limiting the available locations at which future MIPs may be located necessarily limits the
number of MIN that may locate within the City and the attendant jobs such businesses may
create. The City does not tax the transactions that may occur at MIPs. Sales of marijuana to
MIN for use as an ingredient in their manufactured products may be subject to the state's excise
tax; those sales are not subject to state or local sales tax.

Proposed Regulations for
Marijuana Infused Product (MIP)
Manufacturers
This map shows the businesses and land
uses related to the proposed regulations for
marijuana infused product (MIP)
manufacturers.
Marijuana Related Businesses
The map shows the locations of active or
pending MIP manufacturers as of April 28,
2014. The grey buffers indicated the
proposed one - quarter mile separation
between MIP locations.
Schools, Daycares, Treatment Centers
This map also shows the locations of
schools, drug treatment centers, and home -
based daycares. The Municipal Code
requires a 1000 -foot separation between
these land uses and marijuana retail
centers /stores and is proposed to also apply
to MIP locations. This separation
requirement is measured using a route of
direct pedestrian access.
Zoning
Only one zone district is shown on the map:
Industrial - Employment (I -E). Given the
nature of MIP manufacturing, the
regulations propose allowing this use only in
the I -E zone district.

Commissioner BUCKNAM clarified this ordinance would only regulate distances
between MIP's and not restrict the location of any testing facilities. Mr. Johnstone
concurred.
Commissioner WEAVER asked if there was any consideration for odor. Mr. Johnstone
stated there is and that is one of the motivations behind the proposal to classify these
businesses as a hazardous occupancy under the building code as it will require different
air handling and mechanical systems.
Commissioner TIMMS asked if the C- I zone district is the City's most permissive
commercial zone district. Mr. Johnstone replied yes, commercial in the sense of
retail/office and light industrial. C-2 is more permissive but there is very little C-2
zoning. The I-E district allows more traditional industrial uses.
Commissioner TIMMS asked if the map in the packet with the three circled areas are
zoned C -1. Mr. Johnstone stated at least one of them is zoned I-E. The two MIP's that
are in the C- I district would become legal non - conforming uses.
Commissioner TIMMS asked what triggered the emergency moratorium. Mr. Johnstone
stated there was additional interest in these types of uses.
Commissioner OHM asked why the map shows the pending manufacturer case no. WZ-
14-04 located at 3924-4096 Youngfield St. Mr, Johnstone stated that is a testing facility
which is a separate use class at both the state and local level. They would not be doing
any manufacturing, it is strictly testing.
In response to Chair BRINKMAN's questions Mr. Johnstone stated the 1000-foot
separation from schools, daycares, etc. is measured by the most direct pedestrian route,
Chair Brinkman asked if schools in other cities are considered. Mr. Johnstone stated yes.
Chair Brinkman closed the public hearing as there was no one in the audience to speak.
Motion carried 6-0.

provisions were adopted separately (in 2011 and 2013 respectively), the ordinance also includes
clean up provisions to clarify existing regulations. The substance of the proposed amendments is as
follows:
The current moratorium on all City action related to new applications for medical marijuana -
infused products manufacturers and retail marijuana products manufacturers that was adopted by
City Council on April 28 is scheduled to expire on July 27. This ordinance would become
effective on July I and would repeal the current moratorium as of July 1.
Recently, citizens and elected officials have raised the policy question of whether additional classes
of marijuana related businesses, specifically MIN, should be subject to additional separation
requirements, as is the case for retail and medical marijuana related stores. As a result of these
inquiries, the City Council adopted a ternporary moratorium on new MIP applications to permit the
ZOA- 14-05 / Manufacturing of Marijuana Infused Products (MIPs)
At its May 19, 2014 study session, the City Council reviewed the issues and discussed regulatory
options. Consensus was reached to direct staff to prepare an ordinance containing the items listed
above.

Memorandum — Il
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Patrick Goff, City Manager
FROM: Kenneth Johnstone, AICP, Community Development Director
DATE: May 9, 2014 (for May 19, 2014 Study Session)
SUBJECT: Marijuana Infused Products Manufacturing
ISSUE:
At the April 28, 2014 City Council meeting, City Council approved an emergency ordinance
enacting a 90 -day moratorium on the acceptance and processing of any new applications for t 1
marijuana infused products (MIP) manufacturing and marijuana testing applications, permits, 0 Q
land use approvals, etc. The stated purpose of the moratorium was to give City Council an
opportunity to review the existing regulations, principally the regulations pertaining to certain
separation requirements that currently restrict marijuana stores from being closer than 1,000 feet
from certain other land uses, including schools, day care facilities, college and university
campuses and drug and alcohol treatment centers. Those separation requirements do not
currently apply to MIPs or testing facilities.
PRIOR ACTION
In past years, based on changes in Colorado law relative to both medical and retail marijuana,
City Council has adopted ordinances creating a regulatory framework for marijuana- related
businesses within Wheat Ridge corporate limits. On April 21, 2014, City Council directed staff
to prepare an emergency ordinance placing a temporary moratorium on the acceptance and
processing of new applications for certain marijuana related businesses. On April 28, 2014, City
Council held a public hearing on said ordinance and the ordinance was approved by a vote of 6 -1
and became effective immediately. The temporary moratorium is limited to 90 days, only applies
to MIPs and does not apply to applications that were already pending prior to 5:00 pm on
Monday, April 28, 2014.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City currently has 6 marijuana related businesses and 2 applications which are pending. The
businesses are required to pay specific application and license fees, and their product sales are
subject to state and local sales taxes.
BACKGROUND:
When the City first adopted medical marijuana regulations in March 2011, the regulations
included a requirement that medical marijuana centers (stores) not be closer than 1,000 feet from
schools, daycare facilities, college and university campuses and drug and alcohol treatment 1
facilities. _This 1,000 foot distance restriction for medical marijuana centers mirrors the same
u
restriction under state law. C.R.S. � 12-43.3- 308(1)(d). Under both the City Code and State law,
this 1,000 foot distance restriction does not erade4e-apply to
other medical marijuana establishments, such as MIN or primary caregiver locations. When the
City adopted retail marijuana zoning regulations in October 2013, the those - regulations mirrored
the appFeseh4e- City's existing medical marijuana regulations so again, the separation
requirements were only made to apply to retail stores, not MIPs or testing facilities. State law
does not contain any distance restrictions in regards to retail mariivana establishments leaving
the imnosition of any such restrictions entirely to local governments
Recently, several citizens and elected officials have raised the policy question of whether
additional classes of marijuana related businesses, specifically MIPs, should be subject to
additional separation requirements, as is the case for retail and medical marijuana related stores.
It would certainly be appropriate to consider broader application of those separation
requirements if it is determined that MIN have negative impacts upon other land uses that could
be minimized or mitigated by providing the additional separation. It may also be feasible and
appropriate to create separation requirements between each MIP, similar to the 3/4 mile separation
requirement that is already required between each marijuana store.
There has also been some recent discussion as to whether additional operational requirements
should be adopted to minimize or reduce the public's ability to smell the odor associated with
marijuana establishments. Existing adopted building codes do not generally address off site odor
impacts. However, there is the technological ability to adopt additional codes requirements such
as mechanical equipment that would minimize the off -site odor associated with marijuana
The Police Denartment and Building Division have responded to numerous complaints about
residential grows. The concerns have involved both medical mariivana and retail mariivan a
grows, some legal and some illegal. In several cases, the grows have exceeded 25% of the
occupational space of the residence with significant changes to electrical plumbing and HVAC
systems, without building permits, that have created significant health and safety concerns for
current and future property owners, as well as staff. These types of grows produce a significant
amount of hazardous waste that is unregulated and "flushed" into the sewer systems Current

there are no such provisions for etail ows. f I

Another concern that has arisen regarding mariivana centers is the use of outdoor signs by
individuals in the public right of way. Recently, one mariivana center has utilized a person to
stand in public right -of -way, along a maior thoroughfare and in close proximity to a city park
his own consumption and not for sale and only with the small amounts an individual may
possess. A person who manufactures marijuana products for sale without the required licenses
or in excess of the limits placed on individuals or in a way that violates other health and safe
codes is subiect to prosecution and criminal liability under existing state and local laws
1'c
Finally, there are many issues surrounding the legalization of marijuana that remain unsettled at
the federal, state and local level. Staff is certain that as the state and city continue down the path
of legalizing marijuana, there are going to be issues that arise that result in staff bringing policy
Questions to Council regarding new laws or changes to existing laws. The city is certainly
experiencing more advocacy around the issue of marijuana from those in favor of legalization
and those wanting more controls in place. There have been a number of communities that have
formed citizen task forces or workgrouns to provide recommendations to elected officials on
policy Questions related to mariivana. This may be a consideration for city council to consider as
well.
- - - - - - -- - -- - -- ------------------------------
POLICY DIRECTION:
Staff requests City Council direction whether to draft an ordinance that would create additional
separation requirements for additional classes of marijuana related businesses and if so, seve I
specific questions would need to be answered:
1_Which additional classes of marijuana infused manufacturing K would bet included — all MIN or would a distinction be made on medicaretail? J
?3.Should the separation apply to the same types of uses: schools, drug treatment facilities,
daycares and college campuses?
7 If yes, should the same 1000 foot distance be used?
=> .Should there be separation requirements between each MIP or testing facility such as the
Y. mile that currently is required between centers? Taking that question one step further,
the separation requirement could apply to all classes of marijuana related establishments
(retail and medical centers, testing facilities and MIPS).
a- 6.Staff also requests direction as to whether City Council would like to consider additional
regulations that would reduce or minimize the odors associated with marijuana related
products and production.
o.7.Staff is also proposing that the limitations on the growing of marijuana in a residence be
clarified as it applies to personal consumption and growing as a primary caregiver.
Presently, the medical marijuana ordinance cross references the City's home occupation
regulations, which places an area limitation of 25% of the area of the primary structure
and places certain other limitations on the manner the grow can be conducted. Staff
recommends that those limitations be stated more specifically as they apply to the
growing of marijuana in one's residence. Does City Council support this direction?
-7-.�.City Council also raised the question at the May 5 meeting of whether a total ban on
additional marijuana related businesses should be considered. Such an approach is
permissible under state law. Is that a direction City Council wants to pursue?
9. Marijuana related businesses are generating general fund revenues in the form of license
fees, building permit fees and use taxes and sales tax revenues. Does City Council wish
to target the use of those funds in a more directed manner i.e. prevention and education
programs for youth (The Police Department is responding to more calls for service in

ISSUE:
This ordinance imposes an immediately- effective moratorium on the acceptance of new
applications, as well as the continued processing of pending applications, for marijuana
manufacturing and testing facilities.
The moratorium period is ninety days. That period may be shortened by future action of
the Council. The purpose of the moratorium is to permit the Council to evaluate the
City's existing regulations concerning manufacturing and testing facilities, particularly in
regard to land use and zoning issues.
PRIOR ACTION:
During the Council Study Session held on April 21, 2014, Council directed that this
ordinance be presented for consideration at its April 28 regular meeting.
i,
Council Action Form
April 28, 2014
Page 2
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Given the short duration of the moratorium, no significant financial impact is projected.
BACKGROUND:
As authorized by the Colorado Constitution (Amendments 20 and 64, concerning medical and
retail marijuana, respectively) and implementing state law (the Colorado Medical Marijuana
Code and the Colorado Retail Marijuana Code), the City has adopted regulations imposing local
restrictions on both medical and retail marijuana establishments.
These local restrictions include locational requirements, authorizing location of marijuana
establishments only in certain zone districts and imposing distance requirements in some
instances. Current regulations prohibit the location of a medical marijuana center or a retail
marijuana store within 1,000 feet of a school, child care facility, alcohol /drug treatment facility
or higher education campus. Additionally, medical marijuana centers and retail marijuana stores
may not generally locate within 3/ of a mile of one another. Centers and stores are the only
marijuana establishments authorized by law to offer marijuana for sale to the public (patients, in
the case of medical marijuana).
Existing code does not impose similar distance limitations on marijuana establishments engaged
in the business of testing marijuana or manufacturing marijuana products. Marijuana products
include edible products, ointments and tinctures. City staff has recommended that the Council
review the City's existing regulations on this topic and in regard to zoning and land use related to
manufacturing and testing facilities. The temporary moratorium imposed by this ordinance
would prohibit the acceptance of new applications and the future processing of pending
applications for manufacturing and testing facilities while the Council conducts this review.
OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Approve the ordinance as presented; or
2. Decline to approve the ordinance; decline to impose any moratorium.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve the Emergency Ordinance imposing a temporary moratorium on the
submission, acceptance, processing, and approval of applications for a land use approval, permit
or license for any medical marijuana - infused products manufacturer, retail marijuana products
manufacturer or retail marijuana testing facility and declaring an emergency, order it published,
and that it take effect immediately."
Or,
"I move to postpone indefinitely the ordinance imposing a temporary moratorium on the
submission, acceptance, processing, and approval of applications for a land use approval,
permit or license for any medical marijuana - infused products manufacturer, retail
marijuana products manufacturer or retail marijuana testing facility and declaring an
emergency, for the following reason(s) "

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City currently has six marijuana-related businesses and two applications which are pending.
The businesses are required to pay specific application and license fees, and their product sales
are subject to state and local sales taxes. The moratorium on MIPs temporarily reduces revenues
from potential new MIP businesses wanting to locate in Wheat Ridge.

John and I have also begun to discuss potential building code modifications to at least partially address odors. John's
proposed approach, is the following.
Rather than amending the code to specifically add ventilation/scrubbers aimed at these types of uses, his suggestion
would be to modify the occupancy classification for each of these types of commercial MI uses to become a type of H
(Hazard) occupancy, which then creates stricter standards for ventilation, fire suppression, fire separation, etc., which all
