The Cannabis zoning ordinance was approved by New Ulm City's Council Tuesday with no resistance.
During Tuesday's meeting, the council conducted a second consideration of the cannabis zoning ordinance regulation and formally adopted the amendment. The first reading of the ordinance was held during the Feb. 18 city council meeting.
New Ulm City Planner John Knisley said since the first reading of the ordinance, staff received no comments from the public and no changes to the ordinance since the first reading. Knisley also told the council that at this time there was only one business interested in opening a cannabis retail space in New Ulm. He said the business has not specified or confirmed where the retail business will be located but has inquired into a location where cannabis retail would be allowed.
Before approving the second reading, City Councilor Eric Warmka said had received no comments from the public in regards to this ordinance. The other councilors also reported none of their constituents had called about the cannabis zoning.
