Community Affairs & Parks Committee Minutes July 13, 2015 — Page 2 <br />4. Section 5 regarding the definition of "marijuana- infused products" will be amended to remove "no <br />greater than 10 percent" and replace it with a reference to the state law. <br />5. The first recital, which read as follows, will be deleted: <br />"WHEREAS, since 1970, federal law has prohibited the manufacture and possession of <br />marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug, based on the federal government's categorization of marijuana <br />as having a `high potential for abuse, lack of any accepted medical use, and abasence of any <br />accepted safety for use in medically supervised treatment." Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1, 14 <br />(2005), Controlled Substance Act (CSA), 84 Stat. 1232,21 U.S.C. 801 et seq; and" <br />As previously discussed, the Committee members expressed a preference that the draft ordinance <br />go directly on to the Committee of the Whole following review by the Planning Commission, rather <br />than returning to Committee. <br />As follow up to the June 22 Committee discussion, Planning Director Jack Pace shared that the <br />Police Department and Code Enforcement staff have been working together on integrated internal <br />procedures regarding enforcement of the draft ordinance. In addition, the Communications <br />Department is helping with a robust information campaign to inform residents of the new law. It will <br />be important for City employees to be informed and to be able to provide a common response to <br />inquiries. <br />The Committee also requested an updated map showing location restrictions as imposed by Initiative <br />502 and current state law, which helps illustrate this proposal for zoning. <br />UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
