The purpose of this Part
11 is to provide for the placement of RMDs, in accordance with the Humanitarian Medical Use of Marijuana Act, MGL c. 94C, App. §
1-1 et seq., in locations suitable for lawful medical marijuana facilities and to minimize adverse impacts of RMDs on adjacent properties, residential neighborhoods, historic districts, schools, playgrounds and other locations where minors congregate by regulating the siting, design, placement, security, and removal of RMDs.
Boundaries of the MMOD are shown on the Zoning Map and shall
include the following parcels as identified on the FY 2014 Assessor's
Zoning Map: Map 77, Parcels 3, 12, 13, 14 and 17.
No use shall be allowed in the RMD which creates a nuisance
to abutters or to the surrounding area, or which creates any hazard,
including, but not limited to, fire, explosion, fumes, gas, smoke,
odors, obnoxious dust, vapors, offensive noise or vibration, flashes,
glare, objectionable effluent or electrical interference, which may
impair the normal use and peaceful enjoyment of any property, structure
or dwelling in the area.
Each RMD permitted under this bylaw shall, as a condition of
its special permit, file an annual report to and appear before the
special permit granting authority and the Town Clerk no later than
January 31, providing a copy of all applicable state licenses for
the facility and/or its owners and demonstrate continued compliance
with the conditions of the special permit.
The special permit shall be limited to the current applicant
and shall lapse if the permit holder ceases operating the RMD.
The provisions of this bylaw are severable. If any provision,
paragraph, sentence, or clause of this bylaw or the application thereof
to any person, establishment, or circumstances shall be held invalid,
such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions or application
of this bylaw.
