The ordinances regulate where caregivers can operate, special use permits for caregivers, rules of marijuana use within the city and penalties to applied with the amendments.

The first reading will go to City Council 7:30 p.m. May 9 at Flushing City Hall, 725 E. Main St.

Part of the ordinance includes caregivers only being able to operate in the city's heavy commercial zone and 500 feet from schools, daycare centers, places of worship, parks or other medical marijuana caregivers.

Caregivers must apply for a Special Use Permit before using a building to grow medical marijuana and give assistance to patients.

"By making it as conservative as possible it best serves us all," said Neil Blackmore, planning commission member.
— Flushing Planning Commission members approved to send two medical marijuana ordinances to the City Council for approval.
