FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) - The Fairbanks North Star Borough has made its proposed ordinance dealing with the nascent marijuana industry public.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports (https://bit.ly/1OpL2un ) that borough Mayor Luke Hopkins plans to introduce the ordinance at the July 30 Borough Assembly meeting. The 14-page document became public in a packet outlining the meeting agenda.
The ordinance must be reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the assembly before it becomes law.
In the ordinance, a 500-foot buffer zone around schools, playgrounds and public housing with children is proposed. A 200-foot buffer would be around colleges, universities and vocational schools and a 100-foot buffer would surround residential areas, youth centers, public pools and arcades.
The proposal also limits home grown marijuana intended to be sold to property outside of residential zones.
