Oregon Liquor Control Commissionexceptions, and updates.
Council discussion:
Concerned aboutto what degree councilshould regulate commerceor competition.
Valuable to talk about protections for schools from apolicy standpoint.
Compelling need would be established if the whole community wanted it.
Proposed criteria for exemptionsare valuable; fair, clear and workable.
Other cities donothave a 1,000 ft. zone requirement.
Treat marijuana businesslike any other business; State has rigorous regulations in place.
Unfairto compare them to other businesses as the Cityalready taxesthem.
Market will determinewho succeeds; not supportive of buffer zones from daycare centers.
