2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2016 Cannon Beach awaits the fi rst marijuana application Mere 10-vote difference in vote on Nov. 8 By R.J. MARX The Daily Astorian CANNON BEACH — Inquiries yes, but applica- tions have yet to be fi led in Cannon Beach for a retail cannabis outlet. Voters knocked down a retail cannabis prohibition at the polls on Election Day. By voting “no” to prohibition, they green-lighted the retail licensing of cannabis dispen- saries in Cannon Beach. The vote was 446 against prohi- bition and 436 in its favor. Cannon Beach voters also approved a 3 percent local tax on recreational marijuana sales to support public safety. City Recorder Colleen Riggs said there were no retail license applications fi led yet, but she had received calls for information. Applications would be fi led through the Planning Department, “which would determine whether or not it meets the intent of the zon- ing,” City Manager Brant Kucera said, followed by OBITUARY John Michael McCauley Astoria March 31, 1938 — Nov. 10, 2016 a land-use compatibility Kucera said. process.
