Attachment E <br />PC Agenda Item — 3B <br />,`iRZEN HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: August 9, 2023 <br />TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners <br />FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Community Development Director <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 />Requested Action <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.
