<br />Page 1 of 6 <br /> <br />PC Agenda Item – 3B <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: August 9, 2023 <br /> <br />TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners <br /> <br />FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Community Development Director <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Planning Case #23-014 – Public Hearing Required <br /> Applicant: City of Arden Hills <br />Request: Zoning Code Amendments – Chapter 13, Sale of Lower-Potency Hemp <br />Edibles <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills is proposing ordinance language in the Zoning Code to define and allow <br />for the accessory sales of lower-potency hemp edible sales as a conditional use within the B-3, <br />Service Business Zoning District. The proposed amendments to City Zoning Code Chapter 13 are <br />within the following Sections: <br />• Section 1305.04, Zoning Code Definitions <br />• Section 1320.05, Land Use Chart in the B-3, Service Business Zoning District <br />• Section 1325.02, Accessory Uses <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />On July 1, 2022, the Minnesota Legislature adopted an amendment that permits the sale of edible <br />cannabinoid products that contain no more than 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol (a derivative of <br />hemp).

Interim Ordinance 2022-006 will expire on August 22, 2023. <br /> <br />As of May 31, 2023, there has also been a recent state law change relating to adult use <br />marijuana/cannabis.
