Special Meeting of Studio City Neighborhood Council

SCNC Special Board Meeting -Wednesday, Feb 1L.A.'s "gentle ban" medical marijuana ordinance to be discussed
Studio City Stakeholders,

Please join us this Wednesday evening at CBS Studio Center for a Special Meeting revolving around the "gentle ban" medical marijuana ordinance.

Agenda item #6 states:

Presentation, discussion and possible Motion related to the “gentle ban” medical marijuana ordinance recommended by the Chair of the Public Safety Committee, the City Planning Commission and the City Attorney (Council File #’s 11-1737 & 11-1737-S1). The ordinance amends City law to prohibit all medical marijuana businesses citywide, but does not ban access to medical marijuana by qualifying patients in need. The ordinance responds to a recent appellate court ruling and the decision of the California Supreme Court to review that ruling. The ban gives the City breathing room to regulate more comprehensively at such time as the high court and the State Legislature clarify the lawful role of Cities. Presented by Lisa Sarkin. Special Assistant City Attorney Jane Usher will be available to speak and answer questions (30 min):

Community Impact Statement added to Council File Nos. 11-1737 & 11-1737-S1:

The Studio City Neighborhood Council supports the motion issued by Council members Huizar and Englander dated November 23, 2011 requesting a report from the City Attorney and the City Attorney Report No. R 12-0010, dated January 6, 2012 entitled PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE 5.1 OF CHAPTER IV OF THE LOS ANGELES MUNICIPAL CODE TO IMPLEMENT RECENT APPELLATE COURT DECISIONS CONCERNING REGULATION OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA, INCLUDING PACK v, SUPERIOR COURT, 199 CAL.APP.4TH 1070 (2011).
