The following resolution was adopted

WHEREAS, a Public Hearing was held on October 10, 2023 to amend the Code of Marion to add Chapter 130 Cannabis; now

BE IT RESOLVED, Chapter 130: Cannabis

  • 130-1 Authority

The adoption of this chapter is in accordance with Cannabis Law § 131, which expressly provides that the licensure and establishment of adult use cannabis retail dispensaries and on-site consumption sites shall not be applicable where a municipality adopts a local law requesting that the Cannabis Control Board prohibit the establishment of cannabis retail dispensary licenses and/or on-site consumption licenses within the jurisdiction of the Town of Marion

  • 110-2 Title and Purpose

This chapter shall be known as and may be cited as “Local Law No. 6 of 2023 to Opt Out of Cannabis On-Site Consumption Sites”; and it’s purpose is to opt out of allowing on-site consumption sites in the Town of Marion.

  • 110-3 Legislative intent and findings

New York State, through its Cannabis Control Board, has committed to implementing regulations governing the licensure and other related details for adult use cannabis retail dispensaries and on-site consumption sites, which are governed by newly implemented cannabis laws in New York. However, New York has failed to develop or provide such regulations at this time. Such regulations will provide context and insight into the details of licensure and operation of these establishments. While the regulation and impacts of retail dispensaries may be reasonably anticipated by considering, for example, the similar impacts of liquor/alcohol sales, there are fewer corollaries by which to asses on-site consumption sites, particularly given that they are likely to include on-site smoking of a controlled substance and given that the Clean Indoor Air Act otherwise prohibits indoor smoking in public spaces. The Town of Marion thus feels that it would be premature to permit on-site consumption sites in Town without first observing and understanding the regulations which will govern them. As such, the Marion Town Board hereby finds and hereby determines that, pursuant to Cannabis Law § 131, it shall out out of allowing cannabis on-site consumption sites that would otherwise be allowed pursuant to NY cannabis law at this time.

; and

Article IX

  • 308-46: Special Permits

Cannabis retail dispensaries are only permitted in the A-C, B-1 and I-1 District upon the issuance of a special use permit.

(b) A public or private elementary, secondary school or licensed child day-care center.
