“We are not banning anything.
“Are we appropriate for a grow and cultivation facility, are we appropriate for a processing facility, are we appropriate for a dispensing facility, are we appropriate for a delivery facility?” Anzano said.
If the municipality had failed to adopt an ordinance by then, cultivators, manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors would automatically become permitted uses in all of the industrial zones of the municipality.
Part of the reason for the opt-out is to allow for the rest of the details to come through, the licensing and codification of the regulations, as you consider how it would be implemented or permitted in the borough.
Cultivators, manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors would be able to move into the municipality and would not be able to be banned for another five years.
