Title

AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING MEDICAL CANNABIS DISPENSARY for the purpose of permitting Medical Cannabis Dispensary uses in the Major Activity Center (M-A-C) Zone, subject to certain requirements.

 

Background

In accordance with the District Council’s zoning and land use regulatory powers conferred by the legislature through the Regional District Act in Division II, Land Use Article, the Council enacted CB-5-2016 to update the County Zoning Ordinance to reflect the State-licensed Medical Cannabis uses and facilities enacted by the State during the Maryland General Assembly 2014 Regular Session, and to set forth local land use regulations in order to safeguard the public safety, health, and welfare of County citizens and residents, by which State-licensed Medical cannabis uses may locate and operate in Prince George’s County.

 

This legislation further amends the Zoning Ordinance to permit Medical Cannabis Dispensary uses in the M-A-C Zone subject to certain requirements.
