(a) No person shall establish or operate a marihuana facility in the City without first having obtained a City permit and State operating license for the marihuana facility. License and permit certificates shall be kept current and publicly and prominently displayed within the facility. The facility shall be operated only so long as both the City permit and state operating license remain in effect. Failure to maintain or display a current license and permit shall be a violation of this chapter.
(b) An annual non-refundable fee to defray the administrative and enforcement costs associated with marihuana facilities will be set by resolution and adopted by the City Council. The fee will not exceed the state maximum. The permit fee requirement set forth in this chapter shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other licensing and permitting requirements imposed by any other federal, state, or City ordinance, including, by way of example, any applicable zoning or building permits or approvals.
(c) A separate permit shall be required for each premises from which a marihuana facility is operated. A marihuana facility's permit is valid only for the owner named thereon, the type of business disclosed on the application for the permit, and the location for which the permit is issued. No transfer, sale, or other conveyance of an interest in a permit is allowed, unless the transfer, sale or other conveyance has been approved by the State and prior written approval is obtained from the City. The transferee must be in strict compliance with State laws and regulations governing such transfers, per MCL § 333.27406 and the provisions of this chapter.
(d) The permit fee requirement set forth in this Chapter shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other licensing and permitting requirements imposed by any State regulatory agency or City ordinance, including, but not limited to, any applicable fees for site plan review, zoning review, inspections or building permits.
