No. 2021-6]
A.
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to regulate cannabis use
classifications within specific areas within the Township and to otherwise
prohibit or opt out of all other cannabis uses in all other areas
within the Township. The Township anticipates that it may further
expand the areas where cannabis uses are permitted in the future,
as more becomes known regarding cannabis use and state regulations
on same. The Township is interested and will review the potential
for micro-grow operations and small farm uses with the potential to
opt in as to those uses at a future date.
B.
As established by state statute, the recognized classes of cannabis
uses are:
(1)
Class 1 cannabis cultivator license, for facilities involved
in growing and cultivating cannabis;
(2)
Class 2 cannabis manufacturer license, for facilities involved
in the manufacturing, preparation, and packaging of cannabis items;
(3)
Class 3 cannabis wholesaler license, for facilities involved
in obtaining and selling cannabis items for later resale by other
licensees;
(4)
Class 4 cannabis distributer license, for businesses involved
in transporting cannabis plants in bulk from one licensed cultivator
to another licensed cultivator, or cannabis items in bulk from any
type of licensed cannabis business to another;
(5)
Class 5 cannabis retailer license for locations at which cannabis
items and related supplies are sold to consumers; and
(6)
Class 6 cannabis delivery license, for businesses providing
courier services for consumer purchases that are fulfilled by a licensed
cannabis retailer in order to make deliveries of the purchases items
to a consumer, and which service would include the ability of a consumer
to make a purchase directly through the cannabis delivery service
which would be presented by the delivery service for fulfillment by
a retailer and then delivered to a consumer.
C.
General prohibition and exceptions. Pursuant to Section 31b of the
New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace
Modernization Act (P.L. 2021, c. 16), all cannabis establishments,
cannabis distributors or cannabis delivery services, except as otherwise
specifically permitted below, are hereby prohibited from operating
anywhere in the Township. This prohibition shall not extend to Class
6, the delivery of cannabis items and related supplies, as state law
requires this class of use to be permitted in all zones of all municipalities.
D.
Route 206 Redevelopment Area. Classes 1 through 5 shall be conditionally
permitted uses within the Route 206 Redevelopment Area as established
by designation dated January 5, 2015, except that Block 22, Lot 10.01

Zone Mapping, dated February 26, 2022, prepared by Taylor Design Group
and attached hereto.[1]

G.
Agricultural zones (reserved). The Township is, at this time, not
creating any class of specifically permitted cannabis use in the agricultural
zones but intends to do so, particularly for microgrowers; however,
because the state regulations have not been adopted, the Township
is opting out with regard to these zones at this time, but reserving
out this section to show its intent to take action on this zoning
in the future. Due to the infancy of the cannabis legalization within
the state, the Township cannot responsibly act on this issue at this
time. It is the Township's intent to revisit this and create conditionally
permitted uses in agricultural zones when the state regulations are
promulgated and the planning implications can be further studied.
H.
Conditional use - conditions established. The conditional uses for
any conditional use permitted in this § 128.5 shall be as
follows:

if the use only occupies a portion of a building.
