The City of Pontiac Planning and Zoning Board also met to consider amendments to the Pontiac Zoning Ordinance with respect to certain Adult Cannabis Business Establishments authorized by the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, namely the following uses authorized by the Act: Adult-Use Cannabis Craft Grower, Adult-Use Cannabis Cultivation Center, Adult-Use Cannabis Dispensing Organizations, Adult-Use Cannabis Infuser Organization or Infuser, Adult-Use Cannabis Processing Organization or Processor and Adult-Use Cannabis Transporting Organization or Transporter.
The following members were present: Rick Baier, Bill Cole, Paul Giordano, Tim Lewis, and Pat Martin. Bill Abraham and Matt Stock were absent. Also present were David Wilson from the Building and Zoning Office, City Administrator Bob Karls, and City Attorney Alan Schrock. With a quorum being present, the meeting began at 4:33 p.m. The minutes from the October 14, 2019 meeting were bypassed.
Alan Schrock explained that the properties being annexed were volunteered annexations as a request to hook up to the City Sewer System. Properties located in Remington Estates were a Planned Unit Development which required being annexed into the City. With no questions from the audience, Tim Lewis made a motion to recommend City Council to approve the annexations and with a second from Bill Cole and a unanimous yes vote, the motion was passed.
Bob Karls explained to the Board that the City will have requirements to regulate zoning for Adult-Use Cannabis facilities. Mr. Karls briefly discussed the State laws regarding Adult-Use Cannabis and mentioned that a State License will be obtained before operating a business. Alan Schrock noted that any Adult-Use Cannabis Business Establishment must apply for a Special Use permit and that there will be a $6,500 nonrefundable fee. Paul Giordano asked why this would be appropriate for our Community to which Bob Karls discussed the City Council had already approved the establishments being built into our City to bring in tax revenue and to provide more jobs in the area. Mr. Karls also stated that the Ordinance being drafted will be more strict than State laws and that the State controls how many establishments will be allowed in the State and what Counties will qualify for each establishment. Mr. Schrock reminded the Board that the meeting was to discuss strictly the Zoning Regulations.
Mr. Karls discussed the zoning for the facilities and determined that because an Adult-Use Cannabis Craft Grower, Adult-Use Cannabis Cultivation Center, Adult-Use Cannabis Infuser Organization or Infuser, Adult-Use Cannabis Processing Organization or Processor, and Adult-Use Cannabis Transporting Organization or Transporter are all Manufacturing Facilities, an M-1 (Manufacturing) Zone will be assigned to each property and as such will follow M-1 Zoning rules. An Adult-Use Cannabis Dispensing Organization is an indoor Retail Facility, thus making the property be assigned as B-3 (Business and Wholesale) and will follow B-3 Zoning rules. Pat Martin made a motion to recommend completion of Ordinance and with a second from Tim Lewis, the motion passed with one nay from Paul Giordano.
Mr. Giordano made a motion to adjourn the meeting and with the Board approval, the meeting adjourned at 5:22 p.m.
