The city council finds that federal laws prohibiting the possession, sale and distribution of marijuana would preclude the opening of marijuana dispensaries sanctioned by the city, and in order to serve the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents and businesses within the city, the declared purpose of this chapter is to prohibit marijuana dispensaries, marijuana deliveries, and commercial marijuana activities as stated in this chapter.
