WORK SESSION ITEM: Retail Sales, Cultivation, Products Manufacturing and Testing for Recreational
Marijuana, John Ely— Amendment 64 passed last November by voters gives local jurisdictions the authority to
- regular.recreational marijuana. John explained that the commissioners can decide whether to allo�v marijuana
cultivation, testing and retail sale, or marijuana infused products in Pitkin County. They can regulate locations,
total nuinber of businesses allowed, increase fees or impose restrictions on advertising. Discussion ensued
regarding grow operations' sizes and locations. There was general agreement that regulating sales/ dispensaries
would not be the major issue,as Pitkin has such limited commercial zoning. There was agreement that the
bigger issue would be how to regulate grow operations. Concerns were stated about sizes of structures
associated with grow operations and locational and nuisance concems. Steve expressed his thoughts that the
"grow regulations" should be more"laissez-faire", but size of geenhouses is a concern. There was direction to
try to reach out to Caucuses to get their opinions on appropriateness of marijuana activities in their areas. There
was direction to for staFf to come back with simpler questions for them to tackle one at a time.
STAFF DIRECTION: Additional work session time will be scheduled.
