- October 2, 2018, Mountain View City Council voted to allow 4 pot shops in Mountain View, two storefront and two delivery. The stores may only have 250 feet buffer to schools and child-care centers as defined in the ordinance SEC. 36.30.60.c.
- By February 2019, ten pot businesses have applied to open shops in MV, most of them proposed to open shops in downtown.
- February 12, 2019, City Council agreed to revisit cannabis ordinance.
- March 5, 2019, public hearing will be held on city hall to amend the cannabis ordinance.
- Los altos, Palo Alto, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, and Milpitas all ban marijuana sales within the city. Fremont even ban the medical delivery.
- Increased crime rate, irresponsible drivers who might cause traffic safety issues, air pollution, loitering and drug exposure to school-age children and teenagers etc.
- Families and business will be affected.
- Pot shop owner might make money but city taxpayer might lose more in the long run for all the expense. Main reason that Fremont ban medical delivery is because of this concern from the head of police department.
- City will lose the healthy image.
- Attend the public hearing and voice out your concern.
- Write to the Project Planner and Council Member to express your opinion.
