CITY PLANS OUT ITS POT

City planners are ready to seek council's approval on locating legal 
medical marijuana plants.

The feds will begin allowing licensed commercial production of 
medical marijuana on April 1.

That means the city has to figure out where to allow the growing 
operations in Ottawa.

The final zoning proposal was published Tuesday.

The planning department is suggesting banning marijuana production 
facilities from locating within 150 metres of residential or 
institutional zones. Production must be a totally indoor operation 
and outdoor storage of marijuana would be prohibited under the proposed rules.

The planning committee will get a chance to weigh in next Tuesday.
