City Planner Dean Walrack reported to the DDA Board after the City Council passed recreational marijuana ordinances last month
by
COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Coldwater City Planner Dean Walrack reported to the Downtown Development Authority on Wednesday that there have been nearly a half dozen inquiries every day about recreational marijuana licenses.
The Coldwater City Council formally adopted a pair of Recreational Marijuana Establishment Ordinances last month after almost two years of discussion.
Walrack said they are looking at operating on a first come, first serve basis and doing a lot of time stamping with having one person take the applications at a time instead of the whole administrative team.
One of the ordinances would enable the operation of Adult Use Recreational Marijuana Establishments with special use approval in the C-2 Central Business District, the C-4 General Business District and the D-2 Heavy Industrial District.
The second ordinance repealed the city’s prohibition on marijuana establishments.
The application process is being finalized by the city staff as the ordinances go into effect on September 1.
