City Council Approves Ordinance Regulating Marijuana Grows in Central Point
The Central Point City Council has been discussing the topic of Marijuana for over a year. Their primary concern in May was how to minimize or eliminate the unwanted consequences of homegrown marijuana whether recreational or medicinal. The intent and purpose of the Ordinance is as follows:
- The City Council of Central Point recognizes that citizens of the state of Oregon may engage in both recreational and medicinal use of marijuana in accordance with state law. However, the City Council also recognizes that cultivating, drying, production, processing, keeping or storage of marijuana, without appropriate safeguards in place, can have a detrimental effect upon public safety and neighboring citizens.
- The City Council finds and declares that the health, safety and welfare of its citizens are promoted by requiring marijuana cultivators engaged in recreational or medicinal cultivation, drying, production, processing, keeping or storage of marijuana to ensure that said marijuana is not accessible, visible or odor causing to other persons or property, or otherwise illegal under Oregon state law.
The City’s approach to mitigating the unwanted effects resulting from the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (OMMA) and passage of Measure 91 is to add Chapter 8.45 which restricts but does not eliminate homegrown and medicinal marijuana grows. As a home-rule municipal corporation and under the Central Point Charter, the Council has determined a limitation to be the best course of action. Council members received input from their constituents which lead them to approve Ordinance 2007. Once again, amendments to Chapter 8 would limit but not prohibit marijuana grows in Central Point.
Below is the Ordinance the Council passed at the May 28, 2015 meeting. If you have questions regarding what a "secure area" would consist of please contact the Community Development Department at 541-664-3321 ext 292.
