BACKGROUND
On May 10, 2022, the Board directed staff to advertise and bring back for consideration a Land Development
Code Amendment (LDCA) to allow medical marijuana/cannabis dispensaries in the same zoning districts as
pharmacies and report back on any law enforcement issues related to existing dispensaries, specifically those
located in Bonita Springs and three or four on Bonita Beach Road. An update to 2021 F.S. 381.986 regulatory
framework for medical marijuana dispensing facilities, as distinguished from the cultivation and processing
and the delivery of medical marijuana was performed. The yellow highlighted textual changes represent the
statutory changes adopted since the previous LDC amendment was publicly voted on May 10,2018. Staff
recently contacted various law enforcement agencies to obtain a law enforcement report on any issues related
to existing Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers’ dispensaries within Lee and Collier Counties. The law
enforcement report, regulatory framework, and specific amendment changes are presented below.
Applicable Statutory Dispensing Facilities Regulatory Framework:
On June 9, 2017, the Florida legislature enacted Senate Bill 8-A to allow the medical use of marijuana to be
dispensed through a state approved Medical Marijuana Treatment Center (MMTC). Only a MMTC is licensed
to cultivate, process, transport and dispense medical cannabis. Section 381.986 (11) F.S., states “Regulation
of cultivation, processing, and delivery of marijuana by medical marijuana treatment centers is preempted to
the state…” The proposed LDCA does not address the cultivation and processing of medical marijuana u se.
Per section 381.986 (8.j) F.S., “Medical marijuana treatment centers are the sole source from which a qualified
patient may legally obtain marijuana.” Section 381.986 (11.b.1) F.S. states, “A county or municipality that
does not ban dispensing facilities under this subparagraph may not place specific limits, by ordinance, on the
number of dispensing facilities that may locate within that county or municipality.” There are no limits to the
number of dispensaries with this LDCA.
Section 381.986 (11.b.2) F.S. states, “A county may determine by ordinance the criteria for the location of,
and other permitting requirements that do not conflict with state law or department rule for, all such dispensing
facilities located within the unincorporated areas of that county.” Additionally, the county ‘...may not enact

Packet Pg. 4 Attachment: PL 20220004273 Medical Marijuana Dispensaries 8-22-22 CCPC [Revision 2] (23100 : PL20220004273 -LDC Amendment -Medical

C:\users\dianelynch\appdata\roaming\iqm2\minutetraq\colliercountyfl@colliercountyfl.iqm2.com\work\attachments\99725.docx
ordinances for permitting or for determining the locations of dispensing facilities which are more restrictive
than its ordinances for permitting or determining the locations for pharmacies licensed under F.S. 465.” The
proposed amendment’s land use location for dispensing facilities is consistent with the county’s criteria for
pharmacies and drug stores.
Section 318.986 (11.c) F.S. states, “A medical marijuana treatment dispensing facility may not be located
within 500 feet of the real property that comprises a public or private elementary school, middle school, or
secondary school unless the county or municipality determines that the location promotes the public health,
safety, and general welfare of the community.” This provision has been included in the amendment’s new
LDC section 5.05.16 B-Medical Marijuana Dispensaries.
Number of Licensed MMTCs, Dispensing Facilities, and Law Enforcement Issues to Existing MMTCs;
The Florida Department of Health’s latest weekly update report, August 05, 2022, published by the “Office
of Medical Use of Marijuana” confirms a total of 460 dispensing locations for twenty two MMTCs, and
740,213 qualified patients with active identification cards have been authorized. Currently, there are eleven
existing MMTCs operating thirty dispensaries located in Bonita Springs (10), Ft. Myers (10), Cape Coral (8),
Lehigh Acres (1) and Marco Island (1). See Exhibit A for the list of existing MMTC’s di spensing facilities
operating within Lee and Collier County and the law enforcement issue report.
The LDC proposed textual changes are summarized in Exhibit B.
DSAC-LDR SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: On July 27, 2022, the DSAC-LDR
Subcommittee, after hearing public comments, reviewed the amendment and voted to recommend the Board
ban medical marijuana dispensaries as a permitted land use. Further, should the Board decide to allow medical
marijuana dispensaries as a permitted use, then DSAC-LDR Subcommittee recommends the following LDC
amendment changes:
• In LDC section 5.05.16 D.1.a, change the words from “dark sky compliant outdoor lighting” to read
“photometric compliant outdoor lighting”, and seek professional counsel on lighting designs to
existing lighting in shopping centers, strip centers or multi-tenant buildings.
• In LDC section 5.05.16, delete subsection B.2 in its entirety because the proposed text doesn’t exist
anywhere else in the LDC where there is a distance separation requirement which is stated as follows:
“The erection of any public or private elementary school, middle school, or secondary school
subsequent to the issuance of a development order for a medical marijuana dispensary shall be a legal
non-conforming use subject to LDC section 9.03.02.”
DSAC RECOMMENDATION: DSAC members reviewed the LDC amendment at their meeting on August
03, 2022. With one member recusing and another member abstaining, the DSAC voted (10-2) to recommend
the Board deny LDC amendment PL20220004273 based on its merits as presented. There was considerable
discussions among DSAC members after hearing public comments. However, prior to the vote and after the
vote, several members expressed a desire to have additional time to review the LDC amendment should the
Board decide in the future to allow medical marijuana dispensaries.
In LDC section 5.05.16 B.2, the text has been retained and modified so when a new private or public school
is located closer than 500 feet to an existing approved medical marijuana dispensary, the medical marijuana
dispensary will become a legal non-conforming use per LDC section 9.03.00.

Exhibit B-Summary of LDC Changes

C:\users\dianelynch\appdata\roaming\iqm2\minutetraq\colliercountyfl@colliercountyfl.iqm2.com\work\attachments\99725.docx
Changes to LDC Section 1.08.02.
The definitions for this amendment consist of the following: Low-THC Cannabis, Marijuana, Medical marijuana
dispensary, and Medical Use. These definitions have the same meaning as provided for in F.S. 381.986 (1). They
are included to establish a consistent relationship with statutory law and describe a new land use facility.
Changes to LDC Section 2.03.03.
For the Commercial Districts: C-2, C-3, C-4, and C-5, a medical marijuana dispensary is treated the same as a
pharmacy subject to the new LDC section 5.05.16 standards and for the C-2 zoning district, 1,800 square feet or
less in area.
Changes to LDC Section 2.03.04.
For the Business Park District (BP), a medical marijuana dispensary is one of several secondary uses that are
allowed but subject to a maximum of 30 percent of the total district’s acreage. This is the same limitation for a
pharmacy or drug store.
Changes to LDC Section 2.03.06.
For the Research and Technology Park PUDs (RTPPUD), a pharmacy is one of several businesses that are non -
targeted industries serving as commercial support services to light industrial uses. The development of these uses,
including a medical marijuana dispensary, are limited up to 20 percent of the total research and technology park’s
acreage.
A new LDC section 2.03.06 I, is added to allow a medical marijuana dispensary within a previously approved
PUD, when such PUD includes SIC 5912, drug store, pharmacy, or such listing as a permitted use in any of the
following zoning districts: C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5, BP, or RTPPUD
Changes to LDC Section 2.03.07.
Medical marijuana dispensaries are added to Overlay Zoning Districts where a drug store is specifically listed as
a permitted use. They are the Santa Barbara Commercial Overlay (SBCO) District and in C-2, C-3, C-4, or C-5
zoning districts of the Golden Gate Parkway Overlay District (GGPOD).
New LDC section 5.05.16.
All medical marijuana dispensaries shall be subject to the provisions and standards of this new LDC section which
consists of the following:
• A Purpose and Intent section. This section establishes that the change will provide consistency and
compatibility with the need for medical use of marijuana at a medical marijuana dispensary.
• A Separation Distances section. The amendment proposes a minimum separation of 500 feet between a
MMTC dispensary and a school, consistent with section 381.986 (11.c) F.S.. It describes how the distance
shall be measured, consistent with LDC section 5.05.01-Businesses Serving Alcoholic Beverages. A
clause is provided to clarify the construction of a school after the issuance of a development order for a
medical marijuana dispensary would not cause the medical marijuana dispensary to become non-
conforming.
• A Signage section. Per section 381.986 (8.h) F.S. there are certain limitations to advertising and signage
such as:
“ A medical marijuana treatment center may not engage in advertising that is visible to members of
the public from any street, sidewalk, park, or other public place, except:

C:\users\dianelynch\appdata\roaming\iqm2\minutetraq\colliercountyfl@colliercountyfl.iqm2.com\work\attachments\99725.docx
1. The dispensing location of a medical marijuana treatment center may have a sign that is
affixed to the outside or hanging in the window of the premises which identifies the dispensary
by the licensee’s business name, a department-approved trade name, or a department-approved
logo. A medical marijuana treatment center’s trade name and logo may not contain wording or
images commonly associated with marketing targeted toward children or which promote
recreational use of marijuana.” This specific provision has been included in the amendment.
• A Security Measures and Design section. When dispensing marijuana or a marijuana delivery device,
there are various operational security and safety requirements mandated in section 381.986 (8.f) F.S. that
apply to a medical marijuana dispensary. Staff integrated some of the requirements related to indoor
design and security measures, outdoor lighting, and the handling or dispensing of medical marijuana and
a delivery device.
In general, the applicable statutory requirements relative to this section, are:
“To ensure the safety and security of premises where the cultivation, processing, storing, or
dispensing of marijuana occurs, and to maintain adequate controls against the diversion, theft, and
loss of marijuana or marijuana delivery devices, a medical marijuana treatment center shall: …
2. Ensure that the medical marijuana treatment center’s outdoor premises have sufficient lighting
from dusk until dawn.
3. Ensure that the indoor premises where dispensing occurs includes a waiting area with
sufficient space and seating to accommodate qualified patients and caregivers and at least one
private consultation area that is isolated from the waiting area and area where dispensing occurs.
A medical marijuana treatment center may not display products or dispense marijuana or
marijuana delivery devices in the waiting area.
4. Not dispense from its premises marijuana or a marijuana delivery device between the hours
of 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., but may perform all other operations and deliver marijuana to qualified
patients 24 hours a day.”…
Each dispensing facility and its location must be authorized by the Florida Department of Health. The
retail sale activity at the dispensary is limited to qualified patients or authorized caregivers. The sale
transaction can only occur within the indoor designated area that is separate from the waiting area or
outside of the building.
The sufficiency of lighting during night time operations is an objective of the county’s outdoor lighting
standard to reduce light pollution and maintain adequate visibility of persons and vehicles. By requiring
the outdoor lighting system to be directed downward and shielded to minimize light trespass and glare,
the provision would ensure no light pollution. A similar provision is located in LDC section 5.05.15 H.
lighting design standard for golf course conversions. This provision is intended to address implementation
of the lighting standard in section 381.986 (8.f.2) F.S.
Another security measure, as suggested by the cultivation manager at Growth Healthy Medical Marijuana
Treatment Center, is the dispensary’s transport delivery vehicle be located within a garage or enclosed
structure when not in use for delivery. This provision would restrict the potential for night time criminal
activity.

• There are three prohibitions that serve to deter crime, limit the potential for the illicit sale of marijuana,
and reduce the potential risk of driver intoxication. They are:
o The dispensing of marijuana by pick-up at curbside, take-out by window, drive-in or drive-
through facility, or other similar outdoor transaction facilities. This provision follows other
Florida communities such as Sarasota County, Town of Palm Beach, Maitland, Mount Dora,
Altamonte Springs, Ocala, Plantation, and Ft. Lauderdale.
o The display of medical marijuana products or marijuana delivery devices within the waiting and
entry area. This provision incorporates section 381.986 (8.f.3) F.S. excerpted above.
o The dispensing of marijuana or marijuana delivery device shall be prohibited between 9:00 p.m.
and 7:00 a.m. This provision incorporates section 381.986 (8.f.3) F.S. excerpted above.

Thank you again.
The fact is:
200 calls to service at two locations is suspicious
to anyone!
My husband and I had a neurosurgeon/pain management office and never had a call to service. it’s all bologna to
interpret this data as no problem, just saying We will look forward to the challenge at hand.
Your education and help has been most appreciated

Mrs. Little, We will provide your information to members of the subcommittee.
I spoke to Captain Dina Cox regarding the information you provided and learned the calls for service
“…at each address may or may not be linked to the business”. Further, that “a more in depth look at
every record would need to be conducted in order to determine if there is a tie to the specific
dispensary business or merely an incident that occurred in the vicinity. She said it would be very time
consuming and require their Records Department to conduct the research.

Hello Collier County Zoning!
Reaching out for some guidance. I understand that the Board of County Commissions sought to bring forward a revision
to the land development code which would allow medical marijuana treatment centers to be located in the same zones
as pharmacies. I believe that was on May 10th. I cannot discern where this amendment may stand currently and was
hoping you could point me in the right direction. Thank you!
Best,
Anne Marie
