Preamble
 
WHEREAS, the City of Jerseyville ("City") is an Illinois municipal corporation organized and operating under the Illinois Municipal Code, and has enacted the Jerseyville City Code  for the purpose of improving and protecting the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare of the citizens of the community;
 
WHEREAS, the State of Illinois recently passed the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act (410 ILCS 705) (CRTA) legalizing on a limited basis under certain restrictions recreational adult-use of cannabis for persons age 21 and over;
 
WHEREAS, all other recreational uses not in compliance with the CRTA are still illegal, especially for children under the age of 21 years;
 
WHEREAS, the CRTA at Section 705/55-25 authorizes a unit of local government like this City to enact reasonable zoning ordinances or resolutions regulating cannabis business establishments, and governing the time, place, manner, and number of cannabis business establishments, including minimum distance limitations between cannabis business establishments and locations it deems sensitive;
 
WHEREAS, Section 705/55-25 further authorizes a unit of local government to enact ordinances to prohibit or significantly limit a cannabis business establishment's location;
 
WHEREAS, at the request of the City Council, the Planning and Zoning Board considered adoption of a 60-to-90-day moratorium period for the study of present and new zoning, and other regulatory strategies regarding adult-use cannabis related businesses and uses within the City, and the Planning and Zoning Board found that a duration of 90 days would be a reasonable period of time for a moratorium to study the issue;
 
WHEREAS, due to the complexity of the subject matter being regulated by both state and federal governments, the lack of judicial opinions interpreting certain provisions of the state law about sale of cannabis paraphernalia by licensed establishments, attempted actions by the state legislature to amend the Adult-Use Act, and the uncertainty of the state legislature's further actions regarding licensed and unlicensed cannabis establishments and Delta 8 THC, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended, and the City Council approved, extending the moratorium until December 13, 2023;
 
WHEREAS, at the time of recommending the moratorium and recommending extending the moratorium, the Planning and Zoning Board, in exercising its duties of oversight of the zoning regulations of the City, also found, and the City Council found, in exercising its duties to protect, preserve and promote the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare of the citizens of Jerseyville, and especially the children and young adults under age 21, that proper zoning locations and distance limitations are likely regulatory mechanisms to prevent access to and use of illegal non-adult use cannabis, and to regulate access to cannabis paraphernalia, by children and young adults under age 21; and further the Planning and Zoning Board found and the City Council found that it is generally recognized that illegal use of cannabis by persons under age 21 has been a gateway drug leading to use of other illegal controlled substances;
 
WHEREAS, on December 9, 2022, by Ordinance# 1784 the City Council referred study of these cannabis related issues and the adoption of a temporary moratorium to the Planning and Zoning Board, and on January 10, 2023, March 21, 2023, and June 13, 2023 pursuant to the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Board, the City Council and Mayor, passed and approved Ordinance Nos. 1787 and 1790, establishing and later extending the temporary moratorium on location of and zoning petitions for the location of all adult-use cannabis business establishments and paraphernalia businesses, and related uses in the City in all Business and Manufacturing Zoning Districts and in the one and one­ half mile extra-jurisdictional area around the City, until December 13, 2023, to preserve the status quo while the City studied, discussed, and potentially adopts zoning or other regulations governing adult-use cannabis businesses and related uses in the City;
 
WHEREAS, the State of Illinois had previously passed the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act (410 ILCS 130 et seq.) (MCPA) authorizing use of cannabis for medical purposes in certain circumstances;
 
WHEREAS, the MCPA at Section 130/140 authorizes a unit of local government like this City to enact reasonable zoning ordinances or resolutions, not in conflict with the MCPA or with Department of Agriculture or Department of Financial and Professional Regulation rules, regulating registered medical cannabis cultivation centers or medical cannabis dispensing organizations;
 
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Board conducted public hearings, as required by law, on December 29, 2022, March 16, 2023, May 18, 2023, and September 21, 2023, regarding proposed amendments to Title 11, the Jerseyville Zoning Code,  pertaining to location and regulation of medical use and adult-use cannabis business establishments and cannabis paraphernalia retail establishments within the City and the one and one-half mile extra-jurisdictional area around the City; and
 
WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Board following the public hearing on September 21, 2023, recommended approval of the proposed amendments to Title 11, the Jerseyville Zoning Code, as stated in this Ordinance No. 1802
