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.
