(A) Submission of supplementary information to the city. Applicants for city authorization and persons operating existing facilities in the city must provide the City Clerk with copies of all documents submitted to LARA in connection with the initial license application, subsequent renewal applications, or investigations conducted by LARA. The documents must be provided to the Clerk within seven days of submission to LARA, and may be submitted by electronic media unless otherwise requested by the Clerk.
(B) Compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Medical marihuana facilities must be operated in compliance with the MMMFLA, MMMFLA rules, all conditions of the facility's state operating licenses, and all applicable city ordinances. Compliance with the foregoing does not create immunity from prosecution by federal authorities or other authorities of competent jurisdiction.
(C) No consumption on premises. No smoking, inhalation, or other consumption of marihuana shall take place on or within the premises of any facility. It shall be a violation of this chapter to engage in such behavior, or for a person to knowingly allow such behavior to occur. Evidence of all of the following gives rise to a rebuttable presumption that a person allowed the consumption of marihuana on or within a premises in violation of this section:
(1) The person had control over the premises or the portion of the premises where the marihuana was consumed;
(2) The person knew or reasonably should have known that the marihuana was consumed; and
(3) The person failed to take corrective action.
(D) Annual fee. A licensee must pay a fee of $5,000 for each license used within the city in order to help defray administrative and enforcement costs. The holder of a stacked grower license must pay a separate fee in the amount of $5,000 for each license. The initial annual fee(s) must be paid to the City Clerk when the application for city approval is submitted. In each subsequent year, fees are due no later than January 31.
