(A) The village shall review each application submitted to determine whether the applicant and the premises qualify for the license and comply with this chapter and the Act. The village shall notify the state whether the proposed marihuana establishment is in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
(B) No person shall hold an ownership interest in a marihuana safety compliance facility within the village and any of the following facilities also located within the village: (a) a marihuana secure transporter; (b) a marihuana grower; (c) a marihuana processor; or (d) a marihuana retailer. Further, no person shall hold an ownership interest in more than five marihuana growers within the village.
(C) All village licenses are effective for one year. The village license may be renewed upon receipt of a complete renewal application and renewal fee for any marihuana establishment in good standing.
(D) Buildings used for grow facilities, grower, processor facility, safety compliance facility, provisioning center, marihuana retailer, and secure transporter shall be equipped with an activated carbon filtration system for odor control to ensure that air leaving the building through an exhaust vent first passes through an activated carbon filter. The filtration system shall consist of one or more fans and activated carbon filters. At a minimum, the fan(s) shall be sized for cubic feet per minute (CFM) equivalent to the volume of the building (length multiplied by width multiplied by height) divided by three. The filter(s) shall be rated for the applicable CFM.
The filtration system shall be maintained in working order and shall be in use. The filters shall be changed a minimum of once every 365 days or as determined by the manufacturer's recommendations. Negative air pressure shall be maintained inside the building. Doors and windows shall remain closed, except for the minimum length of time needed to allow people to ingress or egress the building. An alternative odor control system is permitted if the applicant submits, and the village accepts, a report by a mechanical engineer licensed in the State of Michigan demonstrating that the alternative system will control odor as well or better than the activated carbon filtration system otherwise required. The village may hire an outside expert to review the alternative system design and advise as to its comparability and whether, in the opinion of the expert, it should be accepted.
(E) All sanitary discharge must not violate the village NPDES permit and must meet all other local ordinances.
(F) The separation of plant resin from a marihuana plant by butane extraction, or any other method that utilizes a substance with a flashpoint below 100 degrees Fahrenheit in any public place or licensed facility is prohibited.
