Docket motion 26-155 to reduce marijuana retail separation in Clearview CRC

Citizen-initiated minor docket proposal by J&L Properties and PG Management LLC to amend Snohomish County Code 30.28.120 to reduce the marijuana retail separation requirement in the Clearview Rural Commercial (CRC) zone from 10,000 feet to 5,000 feet. Tied to Hangar 420's desire to open a second cannabis store in Clearview. PDS staff found it consistent with the GMA and recommended it advance under Final Docket 22. No vote taken; committee agreed to place it on the GLS agenda for May 27, 2026 to set time and date for a public hearing. Executive's office indicated it may bring a separate/competing ordinance with different buffers (possibly 2,500 feet, countywide rural).

The other decisions are listed below by title. The full write-up, verbatim conditions, and the audio at each vote are in Pro.
