PUBLIC NOTICES

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT ZONING ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE OPENING OF ANY NEW ESTABLISHMENTS THAT GROW, SELL OR DISTRIBUTE MEDICAL MARIJUANA AND PROHIBITING THE OPERATION OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA STOREFRONTS PURSUANT TO THE MONTANA MARIJUANA ACT.

The Phillips County Commissioners are calling for a Public Hearing to receive public input on whether or not to adopt the zoning ordinance, which prohibits the growth, sale, and distribution, of medical marijuana, and any establishment attempting to grow, sell, or distribute medical marijuana or paraphernalia in Phillips County, outside the incorporated boundaries of the City of Malta, Town of Saco, or Town of Dodson.

The Phillips County Commission has determined after its required investigation that the licensing, opening, or operation of any establishments that grow, sell, or distribute medical marijuana or paraphernalia within Phillips County could be immediately detrimental to, harmful to, and a threat to the peace, property, health, safety, and welfare of the County and its inhabitants, and can, through such an effect, create a public nuisance and have adopted a resolution to adopt a zoning ordinance to regulate medical marijuana growth, sale, and distribution, and any establishment attempting to grow, sell, or distribute medical marijuana or paraphernalia in Phillips County, outside the incorporated boundaries of the City of Malta, Town of Saco, or Town of Dodson.

The proposed zoning ordinance specifically prohibits any new or lawfully existing medical marijuana provider or marijuana-infused products provider from establishing a new dispensary or grow operation, or expanding the number of plants currently growing on the property. This prohibition shall not apply to a registered cardholder who possesses not more than four mature marijuana plants, twelve seedlings and one ounce of usable marijuana as provided by the Act, nor shall it apply to a provider, already registered with the Phillips County Sanitarian and in operation at their designated location on the date of this Ordinance, who possesses not more than four mature marijuana plants, twelve seedlings and one ounce of usable marijuana solely for each of his or her registered cardholder’s use or as provided the Montana Marijuana Act.

The proposed zoning ordinance is on file for public inspection at the office of the Phillips County Clerk and Recorder.

That for 30 days after first publication of this notice, the board of county commissioners will receive written protests to the creation of zoning regulations from persons owning real property within the district whose names appear on the last completed assessment roll of the county.

The public hearing will be held in the office of the Phillips County Commissioners, Phillips County Courthouse, 314 South 2nd Avenue West, Malta, MT at 1:30 p.m. on December 30, 2019. At such hearing members of the public will be encouraged to offer comment on the proposed Ordinance and any persons not able to attend the hearing may submit written comments prior to the hearing, by sending or deliver such comments to the Board of County Commissioners, Box 360, Malta, MT 59538.
