To bring the Zoning <br />Code into conformance with the amended ordinance and to any future amendments to that <br />ordinance, the Planning Commission and staff recommend modifying the Zoning Code <br />limitations contained in the Use Regulations for the CC, IG, IP and IG(AU) Zoning Districts to <br />read as follows: <br />Medical Marijuana Dispensary.
