(a) It is hereby declared to be unlawful, a public nuisance and a violation of this Chapter for any person owning, leasing, occupying, or having charge or possession of any parcel within the City to cause or allow such parcel to be used for the cultivation of marijuana, unless the person is authorized by state law to grow marijuana for a specifically authorized purpose within a private residence in a residential zone, and such authorized grower is complying with all requirements of this Chapter.
(b) No person shall grow marijuana upon any parcel until and unless he or she first secures a permit from the building department and pays such fee as may be required and set forth by resolution of the City Council for issuance of the permit and/or inspections. Only one building permit shall be granted per private residence, and that permit shall be granted in the name of the single authorized grower.
