All marijuana growing facilities for personal medical use shall be subject to security provisions as stated herein prior to the granting of a permit. Failing to comply with security provisions as stated herein will result in revocation of the city permit for 12 months.
(A) All homegrown medical marijuana plants must be grown so that the marijuana is not accessible to a member of the general public and is only accessible to the patient or caregiver. If grown outdoors, it must be grown behind a sight-proof fence that is at least six feet in height. The marijuana plants must be completely enclosed by the fence and the fence must be secured with a commercial quality lock and key.
(B) Growing marijuana shall not be visible from the public right-of-way.
(C) The growing area including any lighting, plumbing or electrical components used shall comply with municipal building and fire codes. The growing area must be properly ventilated so as not to create humidity, mold or other related problems. Lighting shall not exceed 1,000 watts per light. The use of gas products (CO2, butane and the like) or CO2 and ozone generators in the growing area is prohibited.
(D) Growing marijuana shall not be conducted in a manner that constitutes a public nuisance. A public nuisance may be deemed to exist if growing marijuana produces light, glare, heat, noise, odor or vibration that is detrimental to public health, safety or welfare or interferes with the reasonable enjoyment of life and property.
(E) The primary use of the residential property in which marijuana is grown for personal use shall remain at all times a residence, with legal and functioning cooking, eating, sleeping, sanitation/bathing facilities, working water and electric services, with proper ingress and egress.
