Would prohibit the smoking of marijuana in a car, the street, the sidewalk, public places or outdoor areas Proposed Revisions to the Unified Development Code • Allow retail sales in GC: General Commercial only • Allow production and manufacturing in GC and Industrial Districts with a Special Use Permit • Cultivation not allowed within the City Areas colored in blue are GC (general commercial), where retails sales would be allowed and production would be allowed in industrial zoning. Proposed Revisions to the Unified Development Code • Specifically exclude cultivation for retail use in RA: Rural Agriculture • Cultivation of cannabis and manufacturing of cannabis/cannabidiol products for retail sales are not permitted as a Home Occupation. • Prohibit sale of cannabis products from Mobile Food Units • Limit number of retail sales facilities to 25 Conclusion • These recommended revisions balance support for this new economic segment while protecting public health and safety. • Proposed revisions are consistent with existing zoning regulations. Discussion Commissioner Sewell asked why the verbiage is “legal possession from 2 ounces up to 8 ounces” and not just "up to 8 ounces". Planning Manager Escobar stated that she would ask. Commissioner Swell asked, with the limiting of the number of sales facilities, how will those be allocated. Planning Manager Escobar stated that it would be on a first come first serve basis. The applicants would go through the State of New Mexico to be licensed and then obtain a business license with the City of Farmington. Chair Cardon asked if changes could be made to the UDC as the process starts and could variances be issued. Planning Manager Escobar stated that was correct and special use permits would allow us to bring applications forward to the Planning & Zoning Commission. Commissioner Smouse asked Planning Manager Escobar if the reason this is being brought to the Planning & Zoning Commission's attention is because the commission could be seeing some petitions regarding cannabis. Planning Manager Escobar stated yes, as well as for a recommendation to move these recommendations forward to City Council. Commissioner Smouse asked if these recommendations are coming from staff or from City Council. Planning Manager Escobar stated the recommendations are coming from staff and this presentation has been made to City Council, other than adopting the limit, council had very little input. Chair Cardon stated that she is fine with the recommendations as long as they are open ended. Commissioner Smouse stated that with this just being brought forward he does feel uneducated. Planning Manager Escobar stated that the discussion could be brought back if there is something the commission would like her to explore; action does not need to be taken today. Commissioner Smouse stated that he would like a little more time to educate himself on the subject. Commissioner Sewell asked what types of special use permits the commission would hear regarding cannabis. Planning Manager Escobar stated production and manufacturing in industrial and general commercial zoning. Commissioner Sewell asked how delivery of cannabis would be handled and can access be regulated to public roads. Planning Manager Escobar stated that the State of New Mexico will license the cannabis transporter, licensed transporters can deliver anywhere and access cannot be regulated. Commissioner Sewell asked if transporters would only deliver bulk or if they could deliver personal amounts of cannabis. Planning Manager Escobar stated that they can deliver bulk and personal amounts and it will be the responsibility of the transporter to verify the age of the person that the cannabis is being delivered to; the transporters would have to go through training and also be insured. Planning Manager Escobar asked the commission if there were any specific questions that they would like to see addressed and brought back to at the next meeting. Chair Cardon stated that there are vital commissioners not in attendance and she would like to get their input on the discussion. Commissioner Lockmiller stated that she agrees with Chair Cardon and that what is being presented today is all that she has heard on the topic of cannabis. Commissioner Smouse asked if any of the recommendations being heard today are based upon any other jurisdictions. Planning Manager Escobar stated that jurisdictions in Arizona and Colorado were looked into; discussions were had with the Community Development Director of Aztec and with San Juan County. Commissioner Smouse asked if the State of New Mexico allows municipalities to opt out. Planning Manager Escobar stated no, the State of New Mexico is all in. Planning Manager Escobar stated that she would send the commissioners that are not in attendance today and email and also email all commissions some links on general information regarding today’s discussion. Planning Manager Escobar reminded the commission that each commissioner should only email her and not to the entire commission to keep in line with the Open Meetings Act. Commissioner Sewell asked what the consequences are for smoking cannabis outside. Planning Manager Escobar stated that the prohibition of smoking cannabis outside follows state law. Planning Manager Escobar stated that the retail areas are only allowed in general commercial zoning areas, but will not be allowed downtown which is zoned as central business. Planning Manager Escobar stated that it was intentional to exclude downtown due to the public input that was received from over a hundred citizens, as time goes on the exclusion could be reevaluated. Commissioner Smouse asked if the commission could get some insight on how the City Council feels regarding the cannabis recommendations. Planning Manager Escobar stated that she would email the link to the City Council meeting where this topic was discussed. Commissioner Smouse stated that he would like to make sure that any recommendations made by the commission are not creating any additional hardships on law enforcement. Planning Manager Escobar stated that the proposed recommendations have also been shared with the Police and Fire Department and their input has been received and they support the recommendations that are being brought forth. Commissioner Lockmiller asked how many retail medical marijuana outlets are there in the city and what happens to their licenses. Planning Manager Escobar stated that there are three and if the business is in good standing, they will become a retailer. Commissioner Lockmiller asked if any of the three businesses did cultivation of cannabis. Planning Manager Escobar stated that not that she knows of, but if they do, then their business would become legal non-conforming. Planning Manager Escobar stated that the State of New Mexico has also not allowed the restriction of cannabis facilities near churches, which was a restriction with medical marijuana. Commissioner Lockmiller stated that in her opinion she does understand that there does need to be regulations and rules regarding cannabis, but because marijuana is now legal does not mean everyone is going to go out and smoke marijuana and does not think that there is going to be an influx. Commissioner Smouse asked if the City Council has made a decision about the transportation of cannabis and the consumption and possession of cannabis in a vehicle. Planning Manager Escobar stated that she believes that there are still councilors that are not in consensus, but the City Attorney is working to get documentation together to present to get consensus from City Council. Chair Cardon stated that she feels that from what she has heard today and with the absence of several commissioners, she feels that more time is needed to make a recommendation. Chair Cardon asked for more information to be presented by staff at the next Planning & Zoning meeting. ______________________________________________________________________ Business from the Floor: There was no business from the Floor.

Adjournment: With no further business and a motion to adjourn was made by Commissioner Ragsdale and seconded by Commissioner Sewell.

Farmington. Lot sizes for Phase VII range from 7,240 square feet to 1,106 square feet. The plat also includes a drainage pond located in the southwest corner. The proposed subdivision is an addition to previous Mesa Vista Subdivisions developed on properties to the west. Phase VII, No. 1 is the first stage of Phase VII, which received preliminary plan approval from the City Council on January 26, 2021. This phase includes one, non-buildable lot (#4). A 60-foot wide gas line right-of-way transects the northern portion of the plat. ISSUES IDENTIFIED DURING INITIAL REVIEW Toni Sita – Engineering The City has not received documentation that the detention pond area of 0.241 acres is sufficient for the required drainage. Sakura provided a watershed model schematic with a hydrograph summary report. This report is not sufficient for engineering staff to do our reviews for drainage detention pond sizing. What I need and what I have asked for multiple times is for the engineer (Sakura) to provide a written statement of what these calculations mean. I specifically need the engineer (Sakura) to make a written statement with the following information: 1) What is the required pond sizing/detention for this development? 2) What are the dimensions of the pond to be placed? 3) Is the lot size of 0.241 acres (proposed on Final Plat), large enough to accommodate the pond area and volume required for this development? In the original submittal, Sakura's calculations, stated on their plans, showed a required volume for detention that was 3 times greater than the proposed pond. The revised calculations need to show that the pond is equal to or greater in size and volume capacity than the requirement for the development. I have yet to receive plans from Sakura that show calculations and ponding size that correlate with required detention for development. Without correct information from Sakura, regarding drainage, I am unable to determine if the 0.241 acre lot proposed in this subdivision for the detention pond is sufficient. Staff Comment: These issues have been addressed through submittal of a revised Drainage report. Per Section 8.8.4 of the Unified Development Code, all subdivisions shall comply with the following minimum standards: A. Design and improvement standards. All subdivisions shall be designed and constructed in accordance with applicable requirements of: Staff Report PP 21-50 Mesa Vista #8 - Page 3 (1) Article 5, development standards; and (2) Article 6, subdivision design and improvements. Staff Comments: Through staff review, the plat as presented meets, or will be required to meet through stipulations of approval, development standards and design and improvement requirements. The developer shall be obligated to construct and dedicate the extension of Wildflower Mesa Drive through to Andrea Drive. B. Waivers. The commission may recommend and the council may approve, approve with conditions, or deny waivers of the standards in section 6.4, subdivision design standards, during the platting process. Staff Comments: No waivers are requested for this application. C. Zoning consistency. All subdivisions and the resulting lots shall be consistent with the requirements of the applicable underlying zone district. Staff Comments: All lots conform to the minimum standards of the MF-M: Multi- family Low Density residential zoning district. D. Comprehensive plan consistency. All subdivisions shall be reviewed for consistency with the comprehensive plan, and every plat approved by the city shall constitute an amendment, addition or a detail of the comprehensive plan or part thereof adopted by the commission. Staff Comments: The proposed single-family use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use map which designates this area as Residential Single Family Suburban.

Lyons Memo To: Farmington Planning & Zoning Commission From: Beth Escobar, Planning Manager Date: August 26, 2021 Subject: 2040 Comprehensive Plan – Navigating Farmington’s Future Background A comprehensive plan provides a vision for the community on how to guide development for the next twenty years. It provides a long-range, high-altitude view, of strategies to ensure that the City is moving in the right direction. The Comp Plan is not a regulatory document, like the Unified Development Code. The Comp plan identifies the community assets that should be strengthened and preserved, and what components we want to bring to the City to make it an even better place to live. September 2019 was the kick off date for the Comprehensive Plan update. Working with our consultant, Logan Simpson, a series of meetings were held with a Technical Committee, made up of staff, and a Steering Committee, made up of stakeholders from the community. These two committees identified the important topics. Through these meetings, the framework maps and vision statements in Part 3 of the plan were developed. Public input was solicited early on in the process, including information booths at the Downtown 4 x 4 Takeover, San Juan County Health Fair and Booapaloza in 2019. A website was setup dedicated to the Comp Plan with the ability for the public to submit comments and complete surveys. On January 30, 2020 the City hosted the Jolt Your Future event at the Civic Center. This catered event was open to the public and presented speakers on four topics identified as critical to Farmington’s future: 1. Outdoor Recreation 2. Becoming a retirement friendly community 3. Broadband connectivity 4. The Film Industry Over 200 people attended the event and provided feedback that has been incorporated into the plan. After correlating input from the committees and public, a draft plan was created and made available in December 2020. Because of the health restrictions related to the pandemic, the Council decided to postpone additional public outreach regarding the plan until restrictions eased. This lead to a 30-day intensive outreach public outreach process to gather comments on the draft plan from July 6 through August 6, 2021. What is in the plan? In Chapter 2, the plan provides a snapshot of where Farmington is at today, including population and economic information. It also includes information on internal and external transportation networks, and provides a visual of land ownership surrounding the Farmington metropolitan area. Chapter 3 provides a framework for moving forward within several segments, including housing, land use, transportation, downtown, parks and recreation and economic development. The goals identified for each segment will guide future development. Chapter 4 includes the Future Land Use Plan. This map does not change the zoning of any individual properties, but provides a vision the best locations for types of future development such as retirement communities and mixed use commercial and residential developments. What happens after the plan is adopted? This will not be a sit on the shelf plan. Staff is currently working on sorting through the Strategic Action Plan in Part 5 and identifying those actions that should and can be addressed within the next five years. A copy of the Implementation Strategies, with those projects highlighted that will require Commission input, is attached with this report. The plan will be evaluated every five years to gauge progress and the implementation plan will be adjusted to ensure priorities are being addressed. In addition, the updated comprehensive plan will provide recommendations to guide Farmington’s governing bodies in decision-making, such as evaluating zone change requests, and to move policy and development forward in an intentional and productive way. From conversations we’ve had with the community, we know that there are an array of challenges and opportunities with the potential to transform Farmington into a healthy and sustainable economy for the future. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan will serve as our guidebook to get us there. Action Staff is asking the Commission to provide input and possible direction to Council.

Use Table Staff is recommending retail sales of marijuana be permitted in GC: General Commercial zoning districts only. (Section 2.4.41) The General Commercial District is defined as: Sec. 3.13 - General commercial (GC). 3.13.1 Purpose. The general commercial (GC) district is intended to accommodate commercial uses. The GC district is not a neighborhood-oriented district and is not generally appropriate for application within residential areas. It is intended to be used to accommodate existing commercial uses along thoroughfares. It may also be used to accommodate new development proposals. In all cases, new development in the GC district should be adequately served by infrastructure. The GC district is intended to implement the planning policies of the comprehensive plan's "Commercial" land use designation. 3.13.2 Allowed uses. Uses are allowed in the GC district in accordance with the use table of section 2.3. 3.13.3 Density and dimensional standards. All development in the GC district is subject to the density and dimensional standards of section 2.8. 3.13.4 District standards. District standards applicable in the GC district include the following: A. Utilize architectural styles and building materials for all structures that are commonly used in the surrounding neighborhood. The architectural style and materials used for all structures shall be complementary to that of other structures in the area or vicinity. B. Exhibit a unity of design for buildings within multi-building complexes through the use of similar elements such as rooflines, materials, window arrangement, sign location, and details. Staff has been contacted regarding retail marijuana sales in the Central Business District. 3.14.1 Purpose. The central business (CB) district is primarily intended to accommodate the moderate to high intensity business activities that characterize the city's cultural and business center. The CB district is appropriate for application in the downtown neighborhood as described in the comprehensive plan. The CB district is intended to implement the planning policies of the Comprehensive Plan's "Commercial" land use categories, as further qualified by Chapter 13, downtown neighborhoods. The vision for the downtown area, per the 2019 MRA plan, is as a destination place for residents and tourists alike with an emphasis on retail sales, activities and events and recreation. The recent large investment in the outdoor streetscape by the City reflects and supports this vision. Allowing cannabis sales in the Central Business area appears to be in conflict with this family and tourist friendly vision. Production and Manufacturing The extraction of cannabis and cannabidiol oil from plants involves the use of various solvents, including ethanol, carbon dioxide, propane and butane. Because of the flammable nature of these products, staff is recommending production be allowed within the GC and Industrial Zoning Districts with a Special Use Permit. (Section 2.4.42) Home Occupation Per the new state law, residents may grow up to a maximum of 12 cannabis plants at their homes. In order to reinforce that these plants are only to be used for personal consumption, staff is recommending language be added to Section 2.5.9 Agriculture Agriculture is permitted in the RA (Rural Agriculture) District only. Staff is suggesting that language prohibiting the cultivation of cannabis as an agricultural use in the RA district. (Sections 2.3 & 3.2.5) be prohibited. Food Trucks Staff is also recommending adding language prohibiting the sale of cannabis products from mobile food trucks (Section 2.4.66). With these recommended revisions, staff is hoping to balance support for this new economic segment while protecting public health and safety. Council Input The code changes noted above have been presented to Council and received consensus. A list of the recommended red line changes is included with this report. Action At the August 12 meeting, the Commission asked for more time to review the proposed revisions. Staff is hoping that the changes are ready to forward to Council.
