Peoria City Council Observer Report

​Oct 8 meeting (Jensen absent most of meeting) had several interesting discussions:

• First reading on code item “air rights” which was explained to be more about property lines than air rights- allowing agreements for buildings which are close to purchase “air rights” from neighboring building.
• First reading on an amendment of the adult use cannabis ordinance regarding “infused”  products. Those may be edibles such as cupcakes, gummies, etc. Clarification was that the state licensed dispensaries are the only locations that can sell those infused products.
• First reading review of Ordinance creating Article 19 (Operation of a Cannabis Business) of Chapter 18 Licenses and Miscellaneous Business Regulations of the Code of the City. Discussion included: being licensed similarly to places that sell tobacco or that sell liquor, distanced to schools and daycares changing to 1000 feet instead of 500 feet, licensing and fee and fine schedule, on-site consumption, etc.
• Deleting section 20-112 of Chapter 20 of the City Code pertaining to adult possession of cannabis.
