CHICO, CA – Medical marijuana dispensaries might not have a home in Chico after the city manager asks the council Tuesday to repeal the ordinance.
City Manager Dave Burkland recommends the council maintain the residential portion of the ordinance allowing for outdoor and indoor grows with restrictions, he wrote in the agenda staff report posted online Wednesday.
The U.S. attorney for northeastern California told city representatives in a letter July 1 and a meeting July 14 that the ordinance authorizes conduct violating federal law, and people who facilitate commercial cultivation would break federal law as well.
"As a result of that meeting, the city manager became very concerned about the risk for council and staff in relation to commercial marijuana activities and is now recommending that the ordinance be repealed and the related resolutions be suspended," Burkland wrote in the agenda staff report.
The council voted 4-3 on July 5 to adopt the ordinance that allows for two dispensaries of 10,000 square feet or less in the city after going through a public hearing and selection process.
