The ordinances do not allow any other types of marijuana licenses, such as those for designated consumption establishments, growing operations and temporary marijuana events.
Because of the city’s size, along with zoning restrictions and buffer requirements, the only spaces likely available for recreational marijuana shops are already taken by existing medical marijuana provisioning center spaces.
