ILLEGAL AND UNFAIR PROVISIONS?
Many of the observers at the City of Detroit Zoning Board meeting on October 15 objected to some of the punitive and outright illegal proposals contained within the city’s ordinance regulating medical marijuana distribution centers in the city. Several attorneys who spoke to the Commission pointed out that at least one of their provisions likely violates state law, and others are just mean.
Medical marijuana businesses would not be allowed waivers by the Zoning Board of Appeals and by the Building and Safety Department for variances to the ordinance. That was an obvious red flag to those legal eagles in attendance. Surprisingly, when asked to explain this obvious oversight (and potential multi-million dollar lawsuit against the city) by the Detroit Legal Department, the city’s lawyers cited non-legal reasons for the controversial requirement’s inclusion: it was insisted upon by the city law enforcement community.
