City Accepting Comments On Land Use Amendments for Marijuana Production, Processing, Selling & Delivery

The Seattle City Council is now accepting comments, in writing, by May 15th, on proposed amendments, submitted by Councilmembers Nick Licata and Sally Clark, governing production, processing, selling and delivery of marijuana and marijuana products in the City of Seattle.

The amendments under review include:

  • Increase the proposed maximum size of indoor agricultural operations in Manufacturing and Industrial Centers to as much as 50,000 sq. ft.
  • Allow existing businesses to continue operation, be ‘grandfathered in’, after proposed regulations go into effect
  • Clarify the definition of “food processing” uses
  • Modify the amount of production, processing, selling, or delivery of marijuana, marijuana-infused products, or useable marijuana that can be conducted in certain residential and historic character areas such that the limits would apply per month rather than at any one time

Electronic copies of the full proposal may be obtained online.  Questions regarding the proposal may be directed to Rebecca Herzfeld at 206/684-8148 or at rebecca.herzfeld@seattle.gov

Written comments may be submitted on these proposed amendments to the City Land Use Code by 5:00 p.m. on May 15, 2013 to allow for review by the Council before a final vote.  Please send comments to nick.licata@seattle.gov or by snail mail to:  Councilmember Nick Licata, Legislative Department, 600 Fourth Avenue, Floor 2, PO Box 34025, Seattle, WA 98124-4025
