ORDINANCE3-2023:PSYLOCIBINLANDUSEREGULATIONS
Dirks presented the psylocibin land use regulations ZDC 23-01. Statewide ballot measure 109 was adopted
andpassedin WoodVillageby55%.Thisuse is onlyauthorizedata licensedfacilityundercare. Mostof
the regulations are managed at the state level; however, the measure allows cities to add some additional
regulations. The proposed regulation would add this use as conditional in the commercial, town center and
manufacturingzones, 1000ft from parks,schoolsandothermarijuanaor psylocibinlocationslikethe
marijuana regulations. Unlike marijuana, psilocybin use does not include retail sales. The Planning
Commissionrecommendedthe proposedcodeforadoption.
Rios-Campos asked for a visual context ofwhere one could be located under the proposed code,
Dirks responded available locations would include the town center, the strip mall on the 238th I I and the
verywestern edgeofthe neighborhoodcommercialzone.
Tan asked what concerns the Planning Commission had with the different uses potentially next to each
other.
Dirksrespondedthe PlanningCommissionjustfelt morecomfortablewiththisrestrictionto start, notingthat
it could be changed in the future.

darknoted hewouldliketo gowiththecautiousapproachfornowas recommendedbythe Planning
Commission.
Tan askedifanyoneis interestedin locatinga facility.
Dirksrespondedtherewasan enquiryinJanuary,butnothingsince.
Dirks clarified that if Council did nothing, the use would be permitted where medical or manufacturing is
currently allowed. The proposed code just adds a few conditions to the use.
Miner noted there wassupport from Council to move this forward. He had concerns initially, butfurther
research revealed howimportant this is to people medically. Ifwesupport the concept, it doesn't make
sense to put restrictions or barriers in the way.
Amendaskedifthe code isformanufacturingor medicaluse.
Dirksrespondedit isforboth.Thebusinesswouldhaveto gothroughthe state'sprocessand submita land
use compatibility statement following a conditional use approval underthe proposed code. The application
would need to address the criteria in the code including time, place, and manner restrictions.
Amendaskedwhatwouldhappenifa businesslocatedhereandin thefuture citizensvoted to notallow
psilocybin businesses.
Dirksrespondedthatanyexistingbusinesseswouldremain, itwouldjust preventadditionalones.
Rios-Campos noted there are already a lot ofsteps forthis type of business, and we shouldn't be adding
additional barriers.
Miner asked what the process would be if this code is not adopted.
Dirks responded it would be staffapproved based on the underlying land use and not reviewed by the
Planning Commission. Not adopting this code does not prohibitthe use and adopting the code adds some
additional process and restrictions.
Tan asked if this code is more restrictive than the states.
Dirks responded that this code is more restrictive because it includes 1000ft distance from parks and
specifies hours of operation.
Rios-Campos asked ifthe Planning Commission would be able to set the hours during review ifthe code is
adopted.
Dirks responded they could within reason.
The public hearing was opened.
