FIRST PUBLICATION NUMBER 3417 City of Cambridge In the Year Two Thousand and Sixteen AN ORDINANCE In amendment to the Ordinance entitled “Zoning Ordinance of the City of Cambridge” Amend the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Cambridge in Section 20.700 Medical Marijuana Overlay Districts by creating an additional Medical Marijuana Overlay District (MMD-4). The new MMD-4 District would be coterminous with the Business B and Office 3 Districts that are within the Harvard Square Overlay District. The petition would also establish as criteria specific to the MMD-4 District that permissible dispensaries must be retail only (with no cultivation) and must be less than 10,000 square feet in size, and may be 250 feet, instead of the standard 500 feet, distant from a school, daycare center, preschool or afterschool facility or any facility in which children commonly congregate, or closer only if it is determined by the Planning Board to be sufficiently buffered such that users will not be adversely impacted by the operation of the dispensary. Passed to a second reading as amended at the City Council meeting held on September 12, 2016 and on or after September 26, 2016 the question comes on passing to be ordained. ATTEST:- Donna P. Lopez City Clerk
