following link: http: ilga.gov gislation/publicacts/101/101-0027.htm.
At the September 2 , 2019 Joint Committee the Whole/Planning and Zoni ission meeting, staff and legal
counsel provided information on the Act and answeredvarious questions on the topic to both the Village Board
the Planning and ZoningCommission. The Village heard public input from various organizations., businesses
residents regarding the potential retail sale of recreational cannabis in the Village. The Village Boardalso provided
direction as to what typeregulations could r ria , should the board decideIl retail sale.
Follow Up Information
Based i raised t the Joint COW meetingy the public, commission and board, the following is additional
information on the regulatory ils of the Act, and how the Village can proposeaddress the issues raised.
Tax imShould the Village allowretail sl f recreational cannabis, the Villagey impose an additional tax of
up to .0% ("Cannabis Retailers Occupation "). This is in additionthe 1.0% regular 1.0% -rules les
taxes already in place in the Village. The estimated locals les tax generatedthrough a single recreational cannabis
retailer is just over $400,000 per year. The amount of tax the village can collect in this fashion does not have a cap,
and is separate from y moneys received through the disbursement of the state's Cannabis Regulation Fund.
Transportation cannabis. Trans ort of cannabis for retails l (not individualpossession) is regulated is
Business Establishment under the Act. These transportersu licensed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture
and are the only distributors of productto Cannabis Dispensing Organizations (retailers). In the attached opt-in
ordinance, this business type wouldconditional use only in the Il Light Industryzoning district.
Nuisance r in c Related r I consumption of cannabis to the point of nuisance, all regulations within
Chapter 23,, Article XIV would apply. This includes nuisances as define s: Any condition or use of any premises
which is detrimental to the property of others, a threathealth or safety, or which causes or tends to cause
substantial diminution in the value other property. Nuisance shall also include all conditions set forth in section
23.1403 of this article, any other condition cl r nuisance in this code, n y condition cl r
nuisance in 720 Illinois Compiled Statutes 5/47-5. Regulations contained within Article XIV include abatement
procedures, including lic tions of injunctive relief and nuisance fees.
Cultivation and registration cannabis I n r thec ,only registered medical cannabis its over 2 years
of age y participate in home cultivation of a maximumof five plants. Plants may not be cultivated in an area
subject to public view and precautionss ensure that the plants are secure from riaccess or access by
https://go.boarddocs.com/il/vomp/Board.nsf/Private?open&login# 1/3
10/8/2019 BoardDocs®Pro
a person under 21 years of age. Cultivation must occur in an enclosed locked space on residential property lawfully in
possession of the medical cannabis patient or with the consent of the person in lawful possession of the property. An
owner or lessor of residential property may prohibit the cultivation of cannabis by a lessee. The Village cannot prohibit
home cultivation in these circumstances; however, a registration system of be created for those choosing to
cultivate. Similar to the Village rental license registration program,, the cultivator must register with the Village or be
subject to potential for a ticket or fine should the Village be made aware of unregistered plants. Note that the
registration must comply with the Act and HIPPA laws, meaning it would not be possible for the Village to proactively
target specific persons to register - the burden is on the cultivator to register should they choose to grow in their
residence.
Action to Consider: Qpt-Out Opfion
One of the actions that could be considered at a future public hearing is Xxopting out". Opting out simply prohibits the
recreational retail sale and associated growing and manufacturing businesses ("',Cannabis Business Establishments")
from occurring within the Village boundaries. It will not prohibit residents from purchasing cannabis elsewhere and
consuming in legal locations (such as a private residence) within the Village. It will also not prohibit those with a
medical card from purchasing at the Village's current medical cannabis dispensary, nor will it prohibit home cultivation
for those with medical cards per the Act. As contained in the draft opt-out ordinance., the ordinance also includes a
provision to prohibit any Cannabis Lounge or Social Space.
Certain societal impacts of legalization, such as impaired driving and medical emergency calls, will still apply to the
Village even if an opt-out ordinance is approved. Opting out does not impact the amount of funds the Village will
receive through the Cannabis Regulation Fund. Per the Act, 8.0% of state revenue deposited in the Cannabis
Regulation Fund (consisting of state excise and sales taxes, and licensing fees) will be transferred to the Local
Government Distributive Fund, to fund crime prevention programs, training, and interdiction efforts relating to the
illegal cannabis market and cannabis-based DUIs. The groundwork for spending these funds is not yet in place; a sort
of audit-based system is expected to ensure the funds resent in accordance with the Act. Staff does not have an
estimate of what these revenues will be for the Village.
Action to Consider: O,pt-In 0,-tion and Proposed Regulation
The approval of the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act has led to the creation of many different supporting businesses,
including dispensaries, craft growers., cultivation centers,, processors, transporters., infusers., etc. All of these Cannabis
Business Establishments are addressed in the attached draft opt-in ordinance.
The following summarizes the proposed ""opt-in" text amendments, including restrictions proposed in the draft
ordinance, based upon feedback at the prior COW meeting and internal analysis. Notation in parentheses identifies
which section this language is found.
General Regulations
• Definitions of each Cannabis Business Establishment type, as well as supporting terms such as "Cannabis
Lounge or Social Space"would be added to Chapter 11 Merchants, Businesses, Occupations and Amusements .
This chapter would have an entire section, Article XLI, devoted to Cannabis Business Establishments. [Item 2]
• Details of the operation of a dispensing organization, including minimum age of 21 to purchase, how to verify
age, and what building enhancements must be completed for any retail dispensary (such as installation of
video security cameras). Also included in the regulations include adverting restriction. Note that the hours of
operation per the Act are 6 AM through 10 PM, though the Village may further restrict hours of operation either
via code or conditional use process. [Items 3,, 5,r 6., 81 91 11, 14,, and 15]
• Language prohibiting any Cannabis Lounges or Social Spaces is included, which would prohibit any restaurant
or other business from allowing on-site consumption. [Item 7]
• Language regarding unlawful operation of any cannabis business establishment is included, including provisions
for the Village Manager to suspend or revoke business licenses and conditional use permits if necessary. [Items
12 and 13]
Operation of a motor vehicle by any person under 21 under the influence of cannabis is deemed unlawful.
[Item 10]. All other DUI regulations apply for those over the age of 21 as noted in Village Code Section 18.501.
Zoning_Regulations
Each type of Cannabis Business Establishment is listed in the Use Table (Section 14-604),, rather than grouping
the as a whole. This allows the board to decide on each business type and also ensures that definitions of
what constitute a "business establishment" re not changed over time.
Cannabis Dispensing Organizations (dispensaries) would be a conditional use in the B3 and I-1 zoning districts.
All others (growers/cultivators, infusers, processors or transporters) would be a conditional use in the I-1
zoning district.
No zoning districts were identified for a permitted use for any cannabis business establishment.
The zoning code would further restrict location,, prohibiting any facility from operating within 100 feet of any
public or private nursery school, preschool, primary, or secondary school, church/place of worship or hospital.
https://go.boarddocs.com/il/vomp/Board.nsf/Private?open&login# 2/3
10/8/2019 BoardDocs®Pro
This restriction mirrors the liquor code. A map of this restriction is attached to the memo.
® Additional distance restrictions were considered, including 250 feet and 500 feet of a school, church or
hospital. These maps are also attached for reference.
The code also ensures that cannabis business establishments are located a minimum of 1,500 feet from each
other.
Taxation
Also included for review is a taxation ordinance. This ordinance would correspond with any opt-in ordinance, and allow
the Village to collect the maximum 3% Cannabis Retailers Occupation Tax in addition to home rule and regular sales
taxes.
Alternatives:
1. Motion to refer an Opt Out Ordinance to the Village Board for review.
2. Motion to refer an Opt In Ordinance to the Planning and Zoning Commission for Public Hearing.
3. Discretion of the Village Board.
• Estimated $440,,000 in retail sales taxes annually for each retail dispensary, if approved. In either
case (opt-in or out), the Village will receive its portion of the state's Cannabis Regulation Fund. Rough estimates
based upon the state"s projected revenue for cannabis sales have this dollar amount at $3 per capita, or $168,000
annually.
