Substitute offered in the Senate on February 12, 2015
Makes legislative findings regarding the
location of marijuana producer and processor businesses within an area zoned for residential
use or an area zoned for rural use with a minimum lot size of five acres. The findings
indicate that these businesses create a public nuisance, lower neighboring property values,
and increase the risk of criminal activity. The Legislature also finds that businesses located
in these areas diminish the public health, safety, and welfare of the neighboring residential
and rural properties.
LCB may not issue a marijuana producer or marijuana processor license for any premises
located within an area zoned for residential use or an area zoned for rural use with a
minimum lot size of five acres.
