It is the intent of this chapter to opt the Village of Pomona out of hosting retail cannabis dispensaries and/or on-site cannabis consumption establishments within its boundaries.
This chapter is adopted pursuant to the provisions of NYS Cannabis Law § 131, which expressly authorizes villages to opt-out of permitting retail cannabis dispensaries and/or on-site cannabis consumption establishments to locate and operate within their boundaries.
The adoption of this chapter is a Type II Action under SEQRA regulations.
If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this chapter or the application thereof to any person, firm or corporation, or circumstance is invalid or unconstitutional, the court's order or judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder of this chapter but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this chapter or in its application to the person, individual, firm or corporation or circumstance, directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment or order shall be rendered.
This chapter shall be effective immediately upon the filing with the Secretary of State.
