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.
