INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Tukwila City Council
FROM: Rachel Turpin, City Attorney
BY: Nora Gierloff, Deputy DCD Director
DATE: July 31, 2015
SUBJECT: Medical Marijuana Zoning Ordinance
ISSUE
Should the moratorium on medical marijuana collective gardens and dispensaries be replaced
with zoning regulations per new state laws?
BACKGROUND
Medical marijuana use in Washington was addressed in SB 5073 passed in 2011. However a
partial veto of the bill by the then Governor created a fragmented and inconsistent system of
regulation. For this reason the City has had a moratorium prohibiting medical marijuana
collective gardens and dispensaries since 2011. Tukwila has waited to create permanent rules
for medical marijuana due to a lack of clarity in state laws regarding medical marijuana and a
lack of regulation of this industry.
In the fall of 2012 Washington voters passed Initiative 502 (1 -502) legalizing the recreational use
of marijuana and setting up a framework for regulated producers, processers and retailers.
Tukwila adopted zoning regulations allowing recreational marijuana uses in the Heavy Industrial
and Tukwila Valley South districts in 2013. Because 1 -502 was silent about medical marijuana
there have been two separate and legally unrelated sets of rules for recreational and medical
marijuana.
Recent changes approved by the Washington State Legislature have brought clarity to medical
marijuana regulation and will dramatically change the current state medical marijuana laws in
phases through July 2016. At the June 22, 2015 Community Affairs and Parks (CAP) meeting
the Committee gave direction to the City Attorney and DCD staff to develop a draft ordinance
that would ban cooperatives, collective gardens and dispensaries, integrate the medical and
recreational marijuana industries in accordance with the new state laws, and establish
significant civil penalties for violations.
The draft ordinance was reviewed by CAP on July 13, 2015 and they forwarded it to the
Planning Commission for a hearing and recommendation which was held on July 23, 2015. The
Committee approved returning the ordinance directly to the Committee of the Whole rather than
an additional CAP meeting.

DISCUSSION
State marijuana regulations and the scope of local control over marijuana uses have been
significantly changed by two recently adopted bills. After a partial veto by the Governor the text
of 2SSB 5052 is available at:
http: / /lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov /biennium/ 2015 -16 /Pdf /Bills /Session %2OLaws /Senate /5052-
S2.SL.pdf
The second change was HB 2136 and it is available at:
http://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/ biennium / 2015 -16 /Pdf /Bills /Session %2OLaws /House /2136-
S2.SL.pdf
Highlights of the new regulations include:
1. Phasing out Collective Gardens for growth of medical marijuana by July 1, 2016.
2. Defining patients qualifying for use of medical marijuana as having terminal or
debilitating medical conditions as certified by a health care professional on an annual
basis.
3. Developing a medical marijuana authorization database where qualifying patients may
voluntarily register and receive a recognition card allowing them to purchase medical
marijuana, grow between 6 and 15 marijuana plants in their own homes or participate in
a Cooperative.
4. Authorizing Cooperatives of up to 4 patients with recognition cards to grow the number
of plants each is authorized (up to 60 total) in one of their homes for use of the group.
Only one Cooperative is permitted per tax parcel; they may not be within 1 mile of a
marijuana retailer or 1000 feet of schools, child care centers, parks, transit centers,
libraries etc.; and the location and patients must be registered with the Liquor and
Cannabis Board.
5. Permitting qualifying patients without recognition cards to grow up to 4 marijuana plants
in their own homes.
6. Setting a limit of 15 medical marijuana plants per housing unit that is not a cooperative
regardless of the number of qualifying patients who reside there.
7. Prohibiting medical marijuana plants from being grown in a way that allows them to be
seen or smelled from neighboring properties.
8. Allowing cities to prohibit Cooperatives through zoning.
9. Allowing cities to reduce buffers for retail locations from 1000 feet to 100 feet for child
care centers, parks, transit centers, and libraries but not schools or playgrounds.
10. Allowing cities to prohibit marijuana production or processing from primarily residential
areas.
In response to these bills Tukwila is proposing to end its moratorium on collective gardens and
dispensaries and adopt amendments to its Zoning Code regulations regarding marijuana uses.
The draft ordinance in Attachment A makes the following changes:
1. Repeals the existing moratorium;
2. Updates definitions to match those in the new state law;
4 W:1 2015 AGE NDA- Counci1\MedMJInfoMemo.doc
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 3
3. Corrects the omission of marijuana uses from the Tukwila South Overlay (where the
underlying zoning is HI or TVS);
4. Accommodates commercial medical marijuana uses within the same location criteria as
recreational marijuana uses;
5. References state regulations, procedures and restrictions for growth of medical
marijuana for personal medical use;
6. Prohibits medical marijuana cooperatives, collective gardens and dispensaries; and
7. Establishes new civil penalties for violations of these regulations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No direct financial impacts are expected from these changes.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommended ordinance has returned directly to the August 10,
2015 Committee of the Whole meeting for a hearing and subsequent August 17, 2015 Regular
Meeting.

FINAL BILL REPORT
2SSB 5052
PARTIAL VETO
C70L15
Synopsis as Enacted
Brief Description: Establishing the cannabis patient protection act.
Sponsors: Senate Committee on Ways & Means (originally sponsored by Senators Rivers,
Hatfield and Conway).
Senate Committee on Health Care
Senate Committee on Ways & Means
House Committee on Health Care & Wellness
Background: Medical Use of Marijuana. In 1998 voters approved Initiative 692 which
permitted the use of marijuana for medical purposes by qualifying patients. The Legislature
subsequently amended the chapter on medical use of marijuana in 2007, 2010, and 2011,
changing who may authorize the medical use of marijuana, the definition of terminal or
debilitating medical condition, what constitutes a 60 -day supply of medical marijuana, and
allowing qualifying patients and designated providers to participate in collective gardens.
In order to qualify for the use of medical marijuana, patients must have a terminal or
debilitating medical condition such as cancer, the human immunodeficiency virus, multiple
sclerosis, intractable pain, glaucoma, Crohn's disease, hepatitis C, nausea or seizure diseases,
or a disease approved by the Medical Quality Assurance Commission, and the diagnosis of
this condition must be made by a health care professional. The health care professional who
determines that a person would benefit from the medical use of marijuana must provide that
patient with valid documentation written on tamper- resistant paper.
Qualifying patients who hold valid documentation may assert an affirmative defense at trial
that they are authorized medical marijuana patients. These patients are not currently
provided arrest protection.
Patients may grow medical marijuana for themselves or designate a provider to grow on their
behalf. Designated providers may only provide marijuana for one patient at a time, must be
18 years of age, and must be designated in writing by the qualifying patient to serve in this
capacity. There is no age limit for patients. Qualifying patients and their designated
providers may possess no more than 15 marijuana plants and 24 ounces of useable marijuana
product.
This analysis was prepared by non-partisan legislative staff for the use of legislative
members in their deliberations. This analysis is not apart of the legislation nor does it
constitute a statement of legislative intent.
Senate Bill Report - l - 2SSB 5052
Attachment B 19
Up to ten qualifying patients may share responsibility for acquiring and supplying the
resources required to produce, process, transport, and deliver marijuana for the medical use
of its members. Collective gardens may contain up to 45 plants and 72 ounces of useable
marijuana and no marijuana from the collective garden may be delivered to anyone other
than one of the qualifying patients participating in the collective garden. No provision for the
sale of marijuana from a collective garden or for the licensing of collective gardens is made
in statute.
No state agency is provided with regulatory oversight of medical marijuana. The Department
of Health (DOH) does provide guidance to its licensees who recommend the medical use of
marijuana, and is the disciplinary authority for its providers who authorize the medical use of
marijuana in violation of the statutory requirements. DOH does not perform investigations
until a complaint is made that someone is unlawfully authorizing the medical use of
marijuana. There are no statutory licensing or production standards for medical marijuana
and there are no provisions for taxation of medical marijuana.
Recreational Use of Marijuana. In 2012 voters approved Initiative 502 which established a
regulatory system for the production, processing, and distribution of limited amounts of
marijuana for non - medical purposes. Under this system, the Liquor Control Board (LCB)
issues licenses to marijuana producers, processors, and retailers, and adopts standards for the
regulation of these operations. The number of these licenses that may be issued is established
by LCB. Persons over 21 years of age may purchase up to one ounce of useable marijuana,
16 ounces of solid marijuana- infused product, 72 ounces of liquid marijuana - infused product,
or seven grams of marijuana concentrates at a licensed retailer.
Federal Response to State Marijuana Regulations. Washington is one of 33 states, and the
District of Columbia, that have passed legislation allowing the use of marijuana for medicinal
purposes — although some of these states permit the use of high cannabidiol products only.
Washington is also one of four states, and the District of Columbia, that allow recreational
use of marijuana. The use of marijuana remains illegal under federal law. However,
Congress in its 2015 fiscal year funding bill provided that the United States Department of
Justice (DOJ) may not use federal funds to prevent states from carrying out their medical
marijuana laws. Additionally, the DOJ has issued several policy statements regarding state
regulation of marijuana and describing when prosecutors may intervene. Federal prosecutors
have been instructed to focus investigative and prosecutorial resources related to marijuana
on specific enforcement priorities to prevent: the distribution of marijuana to minors;
marijuana sales revenue from being directed to criminal enterprises; marijuana from being
diverted from states where it is legal to states in which it is illegal; state - authorized marijuana
activity from being used as a cover for trafficking other illegal drugs or other illegal activity;
violence and the use of firearms in the production and distribution of marijuana; drugged
driving and other marijuana - related public health consequences; the growth of marijuana on
public lands; and marijuana possession or use on federal property.
Summary: LCB is renamed to the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB).
Medical use of marijuana is regulated through the structure provided in Initiative 502.
Specific provisions for the medical use of marijuana are included: the terminal or
debilitating medical conditions that qualify a patient for the medical use of marijuana must be

severe enough to significantly interfere with activities of daily living and must be able to be
objectively assessed and evaluated; and qualifying patients continue to be able to grow
marijuana for their medical use. A medical marijuana authorization database (database) is
created. Qualifying patients and designated providers who do not sign up with the database
may grow marijuana for their medical use but are limited to four plants and 6 ounces of
useable marijuana and are provided an affirmative defense to charges of violating the law on
medical use of marijuana. Qualifying patients and designated providers who do sign up with
the database may grow up to 15 plants for their medical use, are provided arrest protection,
and may possess three times the amount of marijuana than what is permitted for the
recreational user.
A medical marijuana endorsement to a marijuana retail license is established to be issued by
LCB. The endorsement may be issued concurrently with the retail license and medical
marijuana —endorsed stores must carry products identified by DOH as beneficial to medical
marijuana patients. DOH must also adopt safe handling requirements for all marijuana
products to be sold by endorsed stores and must adopt training requirements for retail
employees. LCB must reopen the license period for retail stores and allow for additional
licenses to be issued to address the needs of the medical market. LCB must establish a merit
based system for issuing retail licenses. First priority must be given to applicants that have
applied for a marijuana retailer license before July 1, 2014, and who have operated or been
employed by a collective garden before November 6, 2012, and second priority to applicants
who were operating or employed by a collective garden before November 6, 2012 but who
have not previously applied for a marijuana license.
Beginning July 1, 2016 health care professionals who authorize the medical use of marijuana
must use an authorization form developed by DOH. The authorization form must include the
qualifying patient's or designated provider's name, address, and date of birth; the health care
professional's name, address, and license number; the amount of marijuana recommended for
the qualifying patient; a telephone number where the authorization can be verified; the dates
of issuance and expiration; and a statement that the authorization does not provide protection
from arrest unless the patient or provider is also entered into the database. Authorizations are
valid for one year for adults and six months for minors.
Minors may be authorized for the medical use of marijuana if the minor's parent or guardian
agrees to the authorization. The parent or guardian must have sole control over the minor's
marijuana. Minors may not grow marijuana, nor may they purchase from a retailer.
However, they may enter the premises of a medical marijuana retailer if they are
accompanied by their parent or guardian who is serving as the designated provider. Patients
who are between ages 18 and 21 may enter marijuana retail outlets that hold medical
marijuana endorsements.
The database is to to be administered by a third party under contract with DOH. The
database must allow authorizing marijuana retailers with medical marijuana endorsements to
enter the qualifying patient or designated provider into the database and, consequently,
provide the patient or provider with a recognition card that may be used to confirm the
authenticity of the patient or provider. Patients and providers who are entered into the
database are provided protection from arrest so long as they are in compliance with the law
on the medical use of marijuana. Patients and providers who are entered into the database

are permitted the following possession amounts: 3 ounces of useable marijuana, 48 ounces
of marijuana- infused product in solid form, 216 ounces of marijuana- infused product in
liquid form, 21 grams of marijuana concentrates, and 6 plants. The authorizing health care
professional may authorize more than the six plants and 3 ounces of useable marijuana if the
patient's medical needs require additional amounts, but no more than 8 ounces of useable
marijuana and 15 plants.
No more than 15 plants may be grown in a housing unit, unless the housing unit is the
location of a cooperative. No plants may be grown or processed if any portion of the activity
may be viewed or smelled from the public or the private property of another housing unit.
The database is not subject to public disclosure. The database is accessible to only the
following groups of people:
• The medical marijuana retailer with a medical marijuana endorsement, to add the
patient or provider to the database.
• Persons authorized to prescribe or dispense controlled substances to access health
care information on their patients to provide medical care to their patients.
• A qualifying patient or designated provider to request or receive his or her own health
care information.
• Law enforcement officers who are engaged in a bona fide investigation relating to the
use of marijuana.
• A marijuana retailer holding a medical marijuana endorsement to confirm the validity
of a recognition card.
• The Department of Revenue to verify tax exemptions.
• The Department of Health to monitor compliance of health care professionals.
It is a class C felony for a person to access the database for an unauthorized purpose or to
disclose any information obtained by accessing the database. Funding for the creation and
maintenance of the database comes from the Health Professions Account which will be
reimbursed from the Dedicated Marijuana Fund.
Qualifying patients and designated providers placed in the database must be issued
recognition cards. Recognition cards must include a randomly generated number that will
identify the patient or provider, a photograph of the patient or provider, the amount of
marijuana for which the patient has been authorized, the effective and expiration dates of the
card, the name of the health care professional who authorized the patient or provider, and
other security features necessary to ensure its validity. Patients and providers will be charged
$1 for each initial and renewal recognition card issued with proceeds to be deposited into the
Health Professions Account.
The provision authorizing collective gardens is repealed, effective July 1, 2016. Four member
cooperatives are permitted. Up to four patients or designated providers may participate in a
cooperative to share responsibility for the production and processing of marijuana for the
medical use of its members. The location of the cooperative must be registered with LCB
and is only permitted if it is at least 1 mile away from a marijuana retailer. The registration
must include each member's name and copies of each member's recognition cards. Only
registered members may participate in the cooperative or obtain marijuana from the
cooperative. If a member leaves the cooperative, no new member may join for 60 days after
Senate Bill Report

LCB has been notified of the change in membership. All members of the cooperative must
provide labor; monetary assistance is not permitted. Marijuana grown at a cooperative is
only for the medical use of its members and may not be sold or donated to another. Minors
may not participate in cooperatives. LCB must develop a seed to sale traceability system to
track all marijuana grown by the cooperative.
Licensed marijuana producers may be permitted to increase the amount of their production
space if the additional amount is to be used to grow plants identified as appropriate for
medical use.
Extractions by any person without a license is prohibited. LCB must adopt rules on non-
combustible methods of extractions that may be used.
A medical marijuana consultant certificate is established to be issued by DOH. Certificate
holders must meet education requirements relating to the medical use of marijuana and the
laws and rules implementing the recreational and medical systems. DOH must also make
recommendations on whether medical marijuana specialty clinics may be permitted.
LCB may conduct controlled purchase programs in retail outlets, cooperatives, and, until
they expire July 1, 2016 in collective gardens to ensure minors are not accessing marijuana.
Retailers may conduct in -house controlled purchase programs.

11. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Contract for Structural Plan Review
Staff is seeking Council approval of a contract with Reid Middleton, Inc. in an amount not to exceed
$350,000.00 for structural plan review services. Staff does not currently have the capacity to review
structural engineering calculations or plans, so Reid is currently contracted to provide these
services. The existing contract, limited at $20,000.00, is approaching its limit. The City is
experiencing an increase in construction activity, including large-scale actual and proposed
projects, and thus fees collected for plan review have increased as well. Revenues from these fees
offset the cost of the outside review services. The Committee recommended that be clearly stated
in the material going before the full Council. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 6,
2015 REGULAR MEETING.
B. Discussion Regarding Illegal Marijuana Grow Operations
Pursuant to direction given at the June 8, 2014 Committee meeting, staff is preparing a draft
ordinance to replace the moratorium prohibiting medical marijuana collective gardens and
dispensaries set to expire in October. The draft ordinance will amend the code to align with the
forthcoming changes in state law. In addition, it bans collective gardens, requires the growing of
medical marijuana to be in compliance with state regulations, allows recreational processing,
producing and retail in the Tukwila South Overlay where the underlying zoning is Heavy Industrial
or Tukwila Valley South, and establishes civil penalties for violations. Staff is seeking Committee
input into these penalties, as they can be higher than the penalties for other code violations. The
proposed ordinance is expected to be ready for more detailed Committtee review on July 13.
Following discussion, the Committee recommended inserting monetary penalties triple the current
level for code violations, and to explore additional penalties for violations in proximity to schools
and parks. Additionally, the Committee expressed support for the draft ordinance moving directly to
the Committee of the Whole following the Planning Commission's review.
Councilmember Robertson spoke to ongoing community concerns about illegal grow houses in
neighborhoods and would like the City to combat illegal activities using every tool available with a
well coordinated effort involving the departments involved. Staff spoke to lessons learned over the
last few months and feel cross-department communication is now strengthened. However, it is not

always practical to report back to residents on marijuana-related complaints due to issues of privacy
or in cases when the activity is legal under City and State law. Chief Villa encouraged the
Committee members to share with residents that the best practice for reporting suspected illegal
activity is to call 911. Incidents will be handled by Police or by Code Enforcement as appropriate.
The Committee suggested communication to the public on the changes in the State law.

11. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Agreement: Green City Partnerships
Staff is seeking Council approval of an agreement with Forterra for the development of the Green
Tukwila Partnership 20-Year Plan. The Green City program strives to "restore urban greenspace
through community stewardship." The process of establishing the Green City designation takes
around two years. Year one would include an assessment and then a 20-year plan. Year two
would focus on implementation through stewardship programs. Forterra and City staff would work
together to accomplish these goals. The two year plan is budgeted at $100,000, with the City
contribution at $40,000 and Forterra committing to $60,000. Pursuant to the Committee's direction
on May 26, 2015, a budget amendment for $40,000 has been prepared and will be presented with
the overall amendment package. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 27, 2015
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
B. Ordinance: Regulations Relating to Marijuana
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would amend zoning regulations relating to
marijuana in the following ways:
Repeal the existing moratorium
Update definitions to match those in the new state law
• Correct the omission of marijuana uses from the Tukwila South Overlay (where underlying
zone is HI or TVS)
• Reference state regulations, procedures and restrictions for growth of medical marijuana
for personal use
• Prohibit medical marijuana cooperatives, collective gardens and dispensaries
• Establish new civil penalties for violations of these regulations
Following committee discussion, the following additional changes were made to the draft ordinance:
1. Section 7.D will be amended to add marijuana cooperatives
2. Section 7.13. will add "as defined in RCW 69.51A.010" after the word "cooperative."
3. A recital will be added stating that House Bill 2136 allows Cities to ban cooperatives.
27
Community Affairs & Parks Committee Minutes July 13, 2015 - Page
4. Section 5 regarding the definition of "marijuana-infused products" will be amended to remove "no
greater than 10 percent" and replace it with a reference to the state law.
5. The first recital, which read as follows, will be deleted:
"WHEREAS, since 1970, federal law has prohibited the manufacture and possession of
marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug, based on the federal government's categorization of marijuana
as having a 'high potential for abuse, lack of any accepted medical use, and abasence of any
accepted safety for use in medically supervised treatment." Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1, 14
(2005), Controlled Substance Act (CSA), 84 Stat. 1232,21 U.S.C. 801 et seq; and"
As previously discussed, the Committee members expressed a preference that the draft ordinance
go directly on to the Committee of the Whole following review by the Planning Commission, rather
than returning to Committee.
As follow up to the June 22 Committee discussion, Planning Director Jack Pace shared that the
Police Department and Code Enforcement staff have been working together on integrated internal
procedures regarding enforcement of the draft ordinance. In addition, the Communications
Department is helping with a robust information campaign to inform residents of the new law. It will
be important for City employees to be informed and to be able to provide a common response to
inquiries.
The Committee also requested an updated map showing location restrictions as imposed by Initiative
502 and current state law, which helps illustrate this proposal for zoning.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO AUGUST 10, 2015 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
FOLLOWING PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW.
C. Review of the Community Affairs and Parks Committee Work Plan
Committee members and staff reviewed the Committee Work Plan as represented in the packet.
DCD staff is currently looking at appropriate dates and groupings for several items. Councilmember
Kruller noted that parking on her street is becoming increasingly difficult to numerous vehicles

Valerie Lonneman,, Assistant Planner, Department of Community Development, gave the presentation for
staff. She asked the,Commissioners the appearance of fairness questions; there was no disclosure and no one
objected to any of the'Commissioners hearing the case. Staff provided background on the project and gave an
overview of the review process. Design Review applies because the structure is over 10,000 sq. ft. The site is
within the Shoreline Jurisdiction Urban Conservancy Environment. Therefore, a Shoreline Substantial
Development review was conducted and the permit was approved. SEPA was also reviewed and a DNS was
issued. Staff recommended approval with no conditions.
Josh Peterson, Architect for the applicant, Magellan, noted that the landscaping on the north end of the site
was addressed. He explained that the alterations for the addition on the second floor of the existing building

are interior only. He also passed around color samples and offered to answer questions.
Ms. Lonneman stated she received an email from Commissioner Alford and she wanted to address the issues
in the email. She raised the topic of Commissioner Alford's recommendation pertaining to the landscaping
for the Commission to discuss.
She also provided explanation in reference to Commissioner Alford's question regarding the proposed
emergency vehicle access and turn around. She said she discussed the concerns with the Fire Marshall
and he said it is necessary for the site to maintain a 26 ft. access area to reach the proposed second floor
addition.
Mr. Peterson commented there would be a paved area for the access area
Commissioner Strander asked for clarification on the need for conditions for the issues raised as a result
of Commissioner Alford's landscaping recommendation. Staff said if the Commission is in consensus
with Commissioner Alford's recommendation they will need to approve��with conditions. However, the
emergency vehicle access will be approved by the Fire Department'as'part of the building permit process.
Commissioner Alford provided clarification on the landscaping recommendation.
Mr. Peterson and Scott Huish, for the applicant, addressed questions raised by Commissioner Mann.
Chair Hansen asked the applicant and Commissioner Alford if they could suggest some language for the
required landscaping condition. The applicant had no opposition and suggested that it be noted that they
would handle suggested landscaping at the time of the building permit. Staff said that the Commission could
make it a condition of their approval or request the landscaping plan be handled during the building permit
approval process.
ier Alford, moved that staff review and approve the landscaping plan during the building permit

CASE NUMBER: L1 "5 -0007 Marijuana Zoning Code Amendment
APPLICANT: City of Tukwila
REQUEST: Proposed amendments to the Zoning Code regulations regarding marijuana uses
and definitions to meet new Washington State regulations contained in SB 5052.
Definitions will be revised to reflect the language in the new state law and
medical marijuana uses will be accommodated within the same location criteria
as recreational marijuana uses.
LOCATION: Citywide
Minnie Dhaliwal, Planning Supervisor, Department of Community Development gave the presentation
for staff. She provided background on the project. She said the City has had a moratorium prohibiting
medical marijuana, collective gardens, and dispensaries since 2011 due to inconsistent regulations. This
year the Washington State legislature adopted two bills that provide more clarity and allow the local

jurisdictions control over marijuana uses. At the direction of Community Affairs and Parks (CAP) staff
drafted an ordinance that repeals the existing moratorium on medical marijuana uses and updates the
definitions to be consistent with the State law. It accommodates commercial medical marijuana uses
within the same zoning designations (HI and TVS) as recreational marijuana uses. Also, it prohibits
cooperatives, collective gardens and dispensaries. The ordinance also corrects the omission of marijuana
uses from the Tukwila South Overlay (where the underlying zoning is HI or TVS). Additionally, it
establishes more severe penalties for illegal grow operations. Community Affairs and Parks has reviewed
the proposed draft ordinance and forwarded it to the Planning Commission for their recommendation,
which is the purpose of tonight's public hearing. The Planning Commission is being asked to determine
whether the proposed zoning is appropriate.
Staff entered into the record an email from Chuck Parrish. Mr. Parrish inquired which zones should allow
marijuana uses. (See the attached email for details).
Staff noted that the State criteria has some location restrictions fore instance, marijuana uses are not
allowed within a certain distance of parks, schools, and family daycares: Staff showed a map with the
buffer areas from these uses with underlying zoning.
Commissioner Mann asked for some clarification on cooperatives and collective gardens. She said she
understands the concerns of medical marijuana use. She said the collective gardens in the neighborhoods
have nothing to do with medical marijuana.
There was no public testimony.
The public hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission deliberated.
The Planning Commissioners asked several clari

4) , „Do the rules apply ,the same; for recreational and medical retail stores? Staff: The ordinance
applies the same rules for both.
5) Does the State allow�the. City to receive a portion of the sales tax? Staff: Not in the past but with
the, new house bill a sn all percentage is allowed if the total amount of tax exceeds a certain
amount. ,.
6) If growers are growing more than the allowable 15 plant who is going to enforce? Staff: The
police will do the first investigation and determine if it is a criminal or civil violation. If it is a
criminal violation they continue with the process, if it is considered civil Code Enforcement will
take the lead.
7) If several individuals live at a residence what is the limit on number of plants -is it 15 per person?
Staff: That would be considered collective grow or cooperative, which the ordinance prohibits.
State Law limits 15 plants per household on one tax parcel.
8) Is personal recreational marijuana grow allowed in a residence? Staff. No
Motion:
Commissioner Mann moved to forward the draft ordinance as proposed to the City Council for their review.
Commissioner Stander seconded the motion. All were in favor.

APPLICANT: City of Tukwila
REQUEST: Updates to the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan Introduction, Vision, Glossary and
Land Use Map Legend sections to reflect current conditions and revisions.

To: planning commissioners
From: Chuck Parrish
| regret that |8nn not available tn attend the July 23 meeting. Please consider rOy thoughts below.
L15-0007 Marijuana Zoning Code Amendment
I support the repeal of the moratorium as recommended. The problem is in the zoning. I suggest that the following
questions be asked of planning department staff,
1. Does the initiative or state law define acceptable areas such that the H| and TVS zones are the only areas that
meet the criteria? If not, what is the basis for limiting marijuana processes to HI and TVS zones?
2. What area in the TVS zone meets distance criteria? Is it true that the TVS zone has only one property owner that
could rent, lease or sell property for marijuana processes? If so, why is that an acceptable idea?
3. What areas in the H| zone appear to meet distance criteria for marijuana processes?
4. Are there other areas in Tukwila that meet the standards of the citizen approved initiative, the requirements of
state law and the reasonable concern that such processes not be located in residential areas?
I do not care whether or not marijuana processes, retail or otherwise, are located in Tukwila. I do care about the
process. As much as possible, I would like to see the wishes of voters respected. As much as possible, I would like to see
that arbitrary "it seems like a good idea" limitations with no actual superior legislative reference be limited.
