Plan to ban marijuana businesses gets no public comment

October 1, 2014 By Peter Clark

No residents spoke at the Sammamish City Council’s first public hearing regarding a proposed prohibition of recreational marijuana.
After almost a year under a moratorium against recreational marijuana business practices, the council is now considering an ordinance that would ban any producers, processors or retailers from setting up shop in the city.
“When you renewed that moratorium, you gave the Planning Commission some direction to consider a prohibition,” Susan Cezar, Community Development deputy director, said at the Sept. 16 meeting. “And the Planning Commission held a meeting in July and voted 6-0 to recommend that to you.”
Her initial presentation by staff laid out how the consideration fell in line with other municipalities.
