ARCATA STILL WORKING ON DRAFT DISPENSARY GUIDELINES

The City Council directed staff Wednesday night to add more specifics
to the medical marijuana dispensary guidelines before bringing them
back to the council for approval at the Nov. 5 meeting, according to
Mayor Mark Wheetley.

He said the council wanted more details on how the city will regulate
the number of clinics, with the ultimate goal of reducing the number
from four to two. The council also wanted more information on what
method will be applied to figure out what is an allowable growing
space in a residential area.

Wheetley said the city is very close to getting the guidelines
approved, but he wants to make sure all the details are addressed.
