File Number: 13-572 <br />Adjustments, and the comments and recommendation from the Planning Commission will be <br />presented to the City Council for its approval in Spring 2014. <br />Also at the City Council’s request , staff presents two additional zoning maps : One shows the <br />areas, as defined by the current zoning map, where a dispensary may open under the current <br />locational restrictions. The second map shows the areas, as defined by the current zoning <br />map with the inclusion of churches and other places of worship as an additional locational <br />restriction, where a dispensary may open. If the City Council wishes to include the additional <br />locational restriction of 1,000 feet , the ordinance will have to come back to the City Council <br />for a new first reading to pass to print, which would subsequently be followed by a new <br />second reading. Substantive amendments to this version of the ordinance would delay the <br />effective date of an ordinance by at least two weeks from the current schedule applicable to <br />this version of the ordinance. It would not, however, impact the overall schedule as <br />modifications to the Zoning Code and the RFP process would need to occur prior to the <br />issuance of a dispensary permit. <br />Staff proposes the following implementation schedule : <br />1.Approval of the first reading of the ordinance.
