[Adopted 1-28-2020 by Ord. No. 1314]
A.
The purpose of this article is to exercise the police, regulatory,
and land use powers of the City of Roseville by licensing and regulating
medical marihuana provisioning centers, medical marihuana grower facilities,
medical marihuana safety compliance facilities, medical marihuana
secure transporters and medical marihuana processor facilities to
the extent permissible under State of Michigan and federal laws and
regulations and to protect the public health, safety, and welfare
of the residents of the City of Roseville; and as such this article
constitutes a public purpose.
B.
The City finds that the activities described in this article are
significantly connected to the public health, safety, security, and
welfare of its citizens and it is therefore necessary to regulate
and enforce safety, security, fire, police, health and sanitation
practices related to such activities and also to provide a method
to defray administrative costs incurred by such regulation and enforcement.
C.
The City further finds and declares that the protection of the public
health, safety, and welfare of City neighborhoods and residents are
public purposes.
D.
Except as may be required by law or regulation, it is not the intent
of this article to diminish, abrogate, or restrict the protections
for medical use of marihuana found in the Michigan Medical Marihuana
Act, the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act, and the Marihuana
Tracking Act, as amended from time-to-time.
For the purposes of this article:
A.
Any term defined by the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, MCL 333.26421,
et seq., as amended ("MMMA"), the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing
Act, MCL 333.2701, et seq. ("MMFLA") shall have the definition given
in those acts, as amended, and the Marihuana Tracking Act ("MTA"),
MCL 333.27901, et seq. if the definition of a word or phrase set forth
in this article conflicts with the definition in the MMMA, MMFLA,
or MTA, or if a term is not defined but is defined in the MMMA, MMFLA,
or MTA, then the definition in the MMMA, MMFLA, or MTA shall apply.
B.
Any term defined by 21 USC 860(e) referenced in this article shall
have the definition given by 21 USC 860(e).
C.
Where a conflict between this ordinance and the MMMA, MMFLA, or MTA
cannot be harmoniously resolved then such state laws shall supersede
or preempt this ordinance only to the extent necessary with the remaining
provisions remaining in full force and effect.
D.
All activities related to medical marihuana, including those related
to a medical marihuana provisioning center, a medical marihuana grower
facility, a medical marihuana secure transporter, a medical marihuana
processor or a medical marihuana safety compliance facility shall
be in compliance with the rules and regulations of the City of Roseville,
the MMMA, MMFLA, and the MTA.
E.
Any use which purports to have engaged in the cultivation or processing
of medical marihuana into a usable form, or the distribution of medical
marihuana, or the testing of medical marihuana either prior to or
after enactment of this article without obtaining the required licensing
set forth in this article, or as otherwise authorized under the MMMA,
shall be deemed to be an illegally established use and therefore not
entitled to legal nonconforming status under the provisions of this
article, and/or state law. The City finds and determines that it has
not heretofore authorized or licensed the existence of any medical
marihuana facility, as defined herein, in the City in and under any
form whatsoever, any license granted pursuant to this article shall
be exclusive to the licensee, is a revocable privilege, and is not
intended to, nor shall it, create a property right. Granting a license
does not create or vest any right, title, franchise, or other property
right.
