PERE MARQUETTE TWP. – The Pere Marquette Township Board of Trustees approved a new ordinance Tuesday night to regulate placement of sites to grow and dispense medical marijuana in the township.
The zoning ordinance was developed by the township's planning commission, which held a public hearing on the issue in August. The township board held a first reading of the proposed ordinance earlier in September and adopted it Tuesday.
"No one was here," Supervisor Jim McInnis said about attendance at Tuesday's meeting and comments on the ordinance.
Pere Marquette Township's ordinance follows Michigan law and also sets restrictions, which are consistent with those already in place for other home occupations, Terry Wahr, building and zoning director for the township, has said.
One exception is the number of people who can work at a home occupation as a primary caregiver – growing and dispensing marijuana. The proposed ordinance limits the number to one, while other qualifying family members and up to one other person are allowed for other home occupations.
The proposed ordinance – along with state law – would allow one primary caregiver to grow up to 12 marijuana plants for medical use by up to five qualifying patients.
It prohibits all medical marijuana operations by two or more primary caregivers and/or qualifying patients. Those forbidden operations include, but are not limited to, dispensaries, storefronts, cooperatives, bars, and clubs.
