Taylor Mill plans to prohibit medical cannabis facilities from opening in the city.
During its Wednesday meeting, the city commission had the first reading of an ordinance that would keep medical cannabis facilities from opening in the city.
Medical cannabis will be legal in the state effective Jan. 1, 2025. Each individual city is responsible for creating the zoning regulations to make way or not allow those types of businesses to operate; however, if cities do not have those regulations in place by June 30, the state can begin issuing licenses, and if those businesses start operations, they will be grandfathered against any future regulation.
Local governments have until Jan. 1 to take action on whether they want to allow businesses to operate in their cities and counties
“There’s actually three options that the city has on cannabis,” said city attorney Jack Gatlin. “I have a resolution where we can send it to the voters. I have a resolution to propose a text amendment to allow it in industrial and commercial zones. And I also have an ordinance that bans it.”
After some discussion on what other NKY cities and counties decided, Taylor Mill ultimately chose to begin the process of prohibiting medical cannabis facilities.
