Mover: Jones. Supporter: O’Connor. Yeas: Rosalynn Bliss, Jon O’Connor, Joseph D. Jones, Kurt Reppart Nays: Senita Lenear, Milinda Ysasi, Nathaniel Moody WHEREAS: 1. The City of Grand Rapids adopted social equity policies related to the medical and recreational cannabis Special Land Use processes in 2018 and 2020; and 2. The voluntary commitments made by applicants under both policies are conditions of approval of a cannabis Special Land Use, are legally enforceable for as long as the use is active, and can impact future determinations of zoning and licensing at local and State levels; and 3. Current monitoring of social equity performance projects that most cannabis operators will not meet all of their voluntarily offered MIVEDA and/or CISEVA commitments made with Special Land Use applications; and 4. On April 26, 2022, City Commission was briefed on the status of social equity compliance in the local cannabis industry, was offered different options for pathways to continue to achieve compliance, including a recommended option by City staff, and heard the Commission identify the main pillars of the intent of the social equity policies under; and 5. On May 10, 2022, City Commission approved a stay of enforcement of MIVEDA and CISEVA policies through August 10, 2022; and 6. The adopted stay of enforcement provided local licensing benefits to multiple operators during that period, and said benefits could assist other local operators not covered by the recent extension while the pathway towards compliance is implemented, including the completion of the City- approved nonprofit; and 7. A proposed series of direct amendments to the MIVEDA and CISEVA policies will allow staff to implement a Transfer System as an additional pathway towards compliance with all voluntarily offered commitments, which would advance the main pillars of concern as identified by the City Commission, and allow staff to effectively attest to compliance with municipal ordinances using forms provided by the State; and 8. The local cannabis industry faces imminent action at both local and State levels as a result of social equity noncompliance by the end of the stay of  27 CITY COMMISSION AUGUST 9, 2022 enforcement, which would impact State and local licensing renewals and the validity of cannabis Special Land Uses, unless it is addressed otherwise. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT: 1. That the City Commission does re-number and revise the policy adopted pursuant to proceeding 91691 as City Commission Policy 900-64 temporarily extending enforcement of compliance with local cannabis industry commitments to City Commission policies 900-58 (MIVEDA) and 900-59 (Cannabis Social Equity Policy) through December 31, 2022. 2. That the City Commission does adopt amendments to City Commission policies 900-58 (MIVEDA) and 900-59 (Cannabis Social Equity Policy/CISEVA) allowing staff to implement administrative processes and policies that include a pathway for cannabis operators to return to compliance with social equity commitments, and allowing staff to attest to compliance with municipal ordinances using forms provided by the State.
