THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 2015 Seaside Council prohibits sales of medical marijuana in downtown core By R.J. MARX The Daily Astorian The Seaside City Coun- cil approved a plan Monday night to prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries in the city’s downtown core. After a yearlong moratori- um on dispensaries, the vote completed the process of ex- cluding portions of the city from the sales of medical marijuana. The legislation sets re- strictions on where medical marijuana dispensaries can operate and allows the city to distribute business licens- es to dispensaries, according to City Manager Mark Win- stanley. City staff reviewed a number of different options for outlining the exclusion area before determining an area between a line 600 feet north of the Broadway right- of-way that extends from the east side of North Prom to the west side of North Roosevelt Drive, and a line drawn 600 feet south of the Broadway right-of-way that extends from the east side of South Prom to the west side of South Roosevelt Drive. Councilors said in earlier meetings that the exclusion zone would maintain a “fo- cus for families” downtown, and that it “made sense” for sales to take place outside of the downtown core. Monday’s vote was ad- opted without discussion by the council. “It’s been a long road, counsel,” said Mayor Don Larson, addressing City Attorney Dan Van Thiel. “And I thank you sincerely.” Mayor Larson, Council President Don Johnson, and Councilors Jay Barber, Ran- dy Frank, Seth Morrisey, Tita Montero and Dana Phil- lips all voted in support of the amendment. After its passage Mon- day night, the ordinance will have a 30-day enactment period in the event of an ap- peal. The city has not ad- dressed sales of recreational marijuana, which becomes legal on July 1. State law provides legal definitions for marijuana, dispensary, cardholders and license and requires all dis- pensaries to be registered in accordance with the law and administrative rule. Regis- tration by the Oregon Health Authority, however, does not guarantee a dispensary is permitted to operate under applicable local municipal regulations.
