And that is what conflicts with the State cannabis retail. The State does not allow those two entities (a producer or processor and a retailer) to be integrated in any way. As such, he does not think it is possible for someone to successfully apply with our code as it is. So, hopefully this clarifies it and allows applicants to move forward without the producer/processor piece. \\par\r\n\\par\r\nHe and councilmembers discussed why this was specific to only the Guide Meridian UGA, that our code is currently out of compliance with state law, that the Planning Commission recommendation would allow cannabis retail with a social equity license in all other LII in the county, the opinion that it is not inconsistent with light industrial activity, that the City of Bellingham was engaged and pointed out the appropriateness of the location and inappropriateness of other Bellingham LIIs but did not share opposition or concern, that the City of Everson noted that they have had a cannabis moratorium since 2015, that the City of Ferndale submitted a letter saying this did not align with their LII goals, and that it is unlikely that there would be a lot of housing that would move into the area in question because they are generally trying to protect this LII in particular for light impact industrial use.\\par\r\n}\r\n","EventItemActionId":363,"EventItemActionName":"ADOPTED","EventItemActionText":"Buchanan's motion that the Ordinance Requiring a Public Hearing be ADOPTED carried by the following vote:","EventItemPassedFlag":1,"EventItemPassedFlagName":"Pass","EventItemRollCallFlag":0,"EventItemFlagExtra":0,"EventItemTitle":"Ordinance adopting amendments to Whatcom County Code Title 20.66 Light Impact Industrial (LII) District within the City of Bellingham’s Urban Growth Area along Guide Meridian corridor, and 20.80.691 Supplementary Requirements to allow retail cannabis sales in conformance with Revised Code of Washington 69.50.335","EventItemTally":null,"EventItemAccelaRecordId":null,"EventItemConsent":0,"EventItemMoverId":206,"EventItemMover":"Barry Buchanan","EventItemSeconderId":411,"EventItemSeconder":"Jon Scanlon","EventItemMatterId":23528,"EventItemMatterGuid":"E546A68B-2AEB-4D36-A611-A845854913F8","EventItemMatterFile":"AB2026-739","EventItemMatterName":null,"EventItemMatterType":"Ordinance Requiring a Public Hearing","EventItemMatterStatus":"Adopted","EventItemMatterAttachments":[]},{"EventItemId":68102,"EventItemGuid":"BCAC3BD1-39DF-4B28-9241-6A361BF99BB8","EventItemLastModifiedUtc":"2026-11-05T22:55:04.383","EventItemRowVersion":"AAAAAADlR8Q=","EventItemEventId":3231,"EventItemAgendaSequence":22,"EventItemMinutesSequence":34,"EventItemAgendaNumber":null,"EventItemVideo":353422,"EventItemVideoIndex":4073,"EventItemVersion":null,"EventItemAgendaNote":"Council offers in-person and remote participation in Open Session.
