§ 5.90.080. Vacant dispensary allocation.

The City Manager shall determine, at the end of the fourth (4th) calendar quarter following implementation of this Chapter, and each year thereafter, whether additional Medical Marijuana Dispensaries shall be licensed and permitted within the City based on the total number of Medical Marijuana Dispensaries authorized pursuant to this Chapter. Additional business license permit applications above those Medical Marijuana Businesses already licensed and permitted shall be accepted only to the extent the Director of Development Services determines that initiation of the business license permit application process will not lead to the total number of licensed and permitted Medical Marijuana Dispensaries, as a group, to exceed the restrictions established pursuant to this Chapter.

Should the City Manager determine the City shall accommodate additional Medical Marijuana Dispensaries within the restrictions set forth in this Chapter, the City Manager shall cause to be posted on the City's website a public notice of availability and the potential number of Medical Marijuana Dispensary Business license permits available. The notice will appear on the City's website for ten (10) consecutive days, immediately prior to the opening of the application period. The application process will then proceed in accordance with this Chapter.

In the event an existing Medical Marijuana Dispensary License Permit is surrendered or revoked, the City Manager shall, within ten (10) business days after the surrender or the exhaustion of the final appeal of the revocation, proceed with the posting and notice requirements of Section 5.90.220.
