The fate of recreational marijuana in Huntington Beach will be a focus for the Planning Commission on Tuesday as it considers a zoning amendment that would prohibit the sale or distribution of non-medical marijuana by businesses in the city. It also would regulate the cultivation of non-medical marijuana.
City staff is recommending commission approval of the amendment. If that happens, the amendment will go to the City Council for possible adoption.
Proposition 64 was passed statewide in November, allowing people 21 and older to use and cultivate non-medical marijuana, with stipulations granting local governments the ability to ban non-medical marijuana businesses and regulate cultivation.
During a July 11 study session, the commission asked city staff a variety of related questions. One of the issues discussed was the community need for a ban. According to the Police Department, non-medical marijuana businesses and deliveries could result in negative effects such as robberies, thefts and burglaries, a staff report states.
