Arcata Takes Up Medical Marijuana Guidelines

[Ganjarden]

The Arcata City Council will hold public meetings Wednesday to address the addition of medical marijuana dispensary guidelines to the city's land use code.

The council will hold a public meeting about potential dispensary guidelines, aimed at imposing regulations on how dispensaries operate, in hopes of curbing Proposition 215 abuse.

Last month, the council directed staff to add more specifics to the guidelines before bringing them back to the council for approval Wednesday.

Mayor Mark Wheetley said the council wanted more details on how the city will regulate the number of clinics, with the ultimate goal of reducing the number from four to two. The council also wanted more information on what method will be applied to figure out what is an allowable marijuana growing space in a residential area.
