Revision to Medical Cannabis Regulations The City Manager issued a revision today to the City’s Medical Cannabis Dispensary and Delivery Permit Submittal Requirements. A clarification was made regarding the lottery system. The change allows permit holders in good standing to be able to apply for and receive a permit in subsequent years without being subject to a new lottery for the maximum three permits for dispensaries and maximum three permits for delivery services. Please see the City website for the complete regulations and application package.
