yesterday, members of Eagle Forum’s Jasper Action Group along with other concerned citizens packed the room at Jasper’s City Council meeting.  The issue at hand was giving out licenses for marijuana dispensaries and grow facilities without having zoning regulations in place first.  We want to thank all of the pastors and concerned citizens who came out to make their voices heard!  So many people showed up that they exceeded the fire code and were not allowed in.

ABC33/40: The room was packed at a Jasper City Council meeting to discuss zoning for medical cannabis businesses. Jasper Development Group LLC was recently awarded a state medical cannabis processing license.

The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission has been working on zoning regulations for the industry. A drafted version of the code established districts for each type of business, puts in place a minimum plot size of five acres, and requires a property not be located within 1,000 feet of a school, childcare center, church, public park, municipal government facility, or property zoned as residential.

Businesses must have plans for:

operations
conceptual site plan
odor control
waste management
standard operating procedures
security plan
