Pendleton 49/54 Medford 44/58 CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach City Council will vote in April on whether to ask voters if they want to opt out of allowing marijuana shops . The opt-out option could be on the November ballot. If the City C ouncil does not put the opt-out option on the ballot, the council can move forward with cre- ating local time, place and manner restrictions on mar- ijuana shops, such as loca- tion and hours of operation. If the November vote occurs and voters choose to not opt out, the time, place and manner restrictions must also be ready. “I want to know if peo- ple in Cannon Beach actually want us to have a dispensary,” City Councilor Wendy Hig- gins said. Councilor George Vet- ter said marijuana will soon “be accepted and used like alcohol.” He said he is reluctant to spend time and money to “stop something that may not make any difference down the road.” Most councilors agreed on needing to have ordinances in place in case marijuana shops would be allowed. Councilors Melissa Cad- wallader and Mike Bene- field agreed on restrict- ing marijuana retail shops from being downtown, and Mayor Sam Steidel dis- cussed creating time restric- tions on shops. Higgins said she would recommend adding restric- tions for a marijuana shop near the preschool in Tolovana. State law prohibits med- ical marijuana dispensaries and recreational marijuana retailers and wholesalers within 1,000 feet of a school.
