The Gilbert Chamber participated in a stakeholders' group to discuss an ordinance that would comply with the new state law that would allow medical marijuana dispensaries and cultivation sites. The new ordinance will limit locations to Light Industrial and General Industrial zoning areas and restricts distance from schools, hospitals, parks, day care, place of worship and residential boundaries. Also included were licensing restrictions and hours of operations. The Chamber felt the ordinance passed the fair and consistent meter compared to other ordinances and supported the ordinance. A yes vote listed below indicates support for the ordinance and Chamber position.
