(A) Classes of license. Each cannabis establishment shall have its own class of license. The four license classes are cannabis cultivation license, cannabis dispensary license, cannabis product manufacturing license, and cannabis testing license.
(B) License required. It shall be unlawful for any person or entity to create or operate a cannabis establishment in the city without first having obtained a license from the city and a registration certificate from the state for each cannabis establishment to be operated in connection with such business. Such license and certification shall be always kept current, and the failure to maintain a current license and certification shall constitute a violation of this section.
(C) Multiple licenses. A person or entity who intends to conduct activities which would meet the definition of multiple cannabis establishments must, prior to operating such cannabis establishments, obtain a license for each class of cannabis establishment. A person or entity may hold more than one class of license except when otherwise prohibited by this chapter.
(D) License location. Each license shall authorize a single cannabis establishment to operate at a single location. Licenses of different classes may overlap except when otherwise prohibited by this chapter.
(E) License duration. Each license issued is effective from January 1 through December 31, regardless of the time of year such license is approved. Each license expires at 11:59:59 p.m. on December 31 unless, prior to the expiration, the City Commission has approved, or conditionally approved, the renewal of such license for the following calendar year.
