17.52.060 - Cannabis Dispensaries.

Maximum Number of Cannabis Dispensaries.

In the development and execution of these regulations, it is recognized that there are some uses which because of their very nature, are recognized as having serious objectionable operational characteristics, particularly when several of them are concentrated under certain circumstances thereby having a potential deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas. Special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhood. The primary control or regulation is for the purpose of preventing a concentration of these uses in any one area.

The City of Britton shall allow up to one (1) cannabis dispensary provided the time, place, and manner of said dispensaries comply with this section.

Required Separation Distances.

A cannabis dispensary shall be located not less than one thousand (1000) feet from a public or private school existing before the date of the cannabis dispensary application;

Exemption from separation requirements. Any separation distance requirement, other than the State requirement from schools (one thousand (1000) feet), may be waived, provided:

The applicant provides documentation waiving the setback requirement from the title holder of the land benefiting from the separation.

Prescribed separation/setback distances from certain existing uses are to be measured from the lot line of the property where the dispensary is proposed.

Other Locational Requirements.

Permanent or temporary dispensaries are prohibited in all other zoning districts and not eligible for a home occupation use.

It shall be unlawful to operate a dispensary in a building which contains a residence or a mixed-use building with commercial and residential uses.

Controlled Access. No cannabis establishment shall share premises with or permit access directly from another medical cannabis establishment, business that sells alcohol or tobacco, or, if allowed by law, other cannabis establishment.

Hours of operation:
