18.59.090 Specific standards for marijuana producers, processors, research and transportation businesses.
A. Marijuana production and processing facilities shall comply with the following provisions:
1. Marijuana production, processing research and transportation facilities shall be ventilated so that the odor from the marijuana cannot be detected by a person with a normal sense of smell from any adjoining use or property;
2. A screened and secured loading dock, approved by the director, shall be required. The objective of this requirement is to provide a secure, visual screen from the public right-of-way and adjoining properties, and prevent the escape of odors when delivering or transferring marijuana, marijuana concentrates, usable marijuana, and marijuana-infused products.
B. Any marijuana producer or marijuana processors operating within the city (1) shall strictly comply with all industrial, health and safety codes, including but not limited to WAC 314-55-104 and RCW 69.50.348, and (2) shall have at least 4,000 square feet of building utilized for its individual business, and the total square feet of all marijuana producers and processors in the city shall not exceed 90,000 square feet of building space; provided, that any such business that was licensed and existing prior to August 1, 2016, that did not have at least 4,000 square feet of building utilized for its individual business may continue operating, and shall be classified as a fully legal conforming use at its current location even though it did not have at least 4,000 square feet of building utilized for its individual business. (Ord. 6642 § 30, 2017.)
