89 influence stems from it's zoning authority, which impacts owners of commercial property and business 90 owners who intend to run a cannabis business. Decisions surrounding where such businesses may 91 locate within the city are based on already established zoning allowances. For example, the 92 manufacturing or retail sales of cannabis are allowed in zoning districts that already allow manufacturing 93 and retail sales of other goods. Proposed regulation, aside from zoning authority, is being informed by 94 existing alcohol and tobacco regulations, which have been established and enforced for decades. 95 96 The state will seek zoning compliance certification from the City of Roseville before deciding whether to 97 issue a business license for a cannabis business/use. The State Office of Cannabis Management 98(OCM) has established a social equity process to help ensure corporations and/or deep-pocketed 99 investors cannot monopolize the business of manufacturing and selling cannabis in Minnesota. The 100 social equity process established by OCM intends for those who have suffered the most from cannabis 101 prohibition will be first in line to benefit from its legalization. 102 103 Aside from age-compliance regulation surrounding the retail sale of cannabis, which will be conducted 104 locally, under the law OCM is tasked with general licensing enforcement. It should be recognized that 105 persons/parties will likely seek enforcement from the City of Roseville but will be burdened by the city's 106 lack of standing and referral to OCM, which could result in non-timely response to negative impacts. 107 108 The impacts of the legalization of cannabis are not yet known and the City must be prepared to amend 109 its regulations as needed to address mitigations within local control, including engaging with affected 110 parties within the community on those non-state mandated revisions.

There are fee implications 115 related to retail registration and Temporary Cannabis Events, which have been added to the 2025 Fee 116 Schedule. Retail sales of taxable cannabis products are subject to the state and local sales and use tax 117 and a 10% gross receipts tax. 20% of cannabis gross receipts tax proceeds are allocated to the local 118 government cannabis aid account, where 50% is distributed to counties and 50% is distributed to cities 119 in June and December. 120 121 Staff Recommendations 122 Adopt three ordinances and three resolutions establishing zoning, business registration and temporary 123 event regulations for adult-use cannabis and hemp, including allowing for summary publications in lieu of 124 the full ordinances. 125 126 Requested Council Action 127 By motion, adopt three ordinances and three resolutions establishing zoning, business registration and 128 temporary event regulations for adult-use cannabis and hemp, including allowing for summary 129 publications in lieu of the full ordinances. 130 131 Be advised, the resolutions allowing for summary publications require a 4/5th's vote of the Council. 132 133 Janice Gundlach, Community Development Director Prepared by: 1.
