§ 58.875. Special Operational Regulations.

(a)

Security system. To ensure the safety and security of medical marijuana dispensaries, and to maintain adequate controls against the diversion, theft, and loss of low-THC cannabis, medical cannabis, and cannabis delivery devices, F.S. § 381.986, and Chapter 64-4, Florida Administrative Code, require dispensing organizations to implement and maintain specified security systems and techniques. The security plan approved by the Florida Department of Health for the dispensary must be filed with the police chief before the dispensary opens for business and any changes to the security plan must be filed with the police chief within seven days of approval by the Florida Department of Health. It is unlawful and a violation of this subsection to operate, own, or control a medical marijuana dispensary except in compliance with the applicable security plan approved by the Florida Department of Health.

(b)

Site plan and appearance approval. Before a certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion is issued by the permitting official (whichever is applicable, and if neither are applicable then before the dispensary opens for business) for a medical marijuana dispensary, the dispensary must be reviewed and approved by planning official determination. The planning official determination must review and approve the proposed site for zoning use compliance, for compliance with applicable site development standards (including parking and pedestrian and automobile circulation), and for compliance with applicable appearance and architectural standards (including signs).

(c)

Outdoor lighting. Medical marijuana dispensaries are hereby made exempt from Part 2M, Chapter 63, Orlando City Code, but only to the extent minimally necessary to achieve compliance with state laws and regulations relating to sufficient outdoor lighting.

(d)

Hours of operation. Medical marijuana dispensaries may not dispense low-THC cannabis, medical cannabis, or cannabis delivery devices between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. This subsection applies only to the onsite dispensing of low-THC cannabis, medical cannabis, or cannabis delivery devices, and does not purport to regulate the delivery of low-THC cannabis, medical cannabis, or cannabis delivery devices, nor does this subsection prohibit the use of the dispensary between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. for business purposes other than the dispensing of low-THC cannabis, medical cannabis, or cannabis delivery devices.

(e)

Drive-in facilities prohibited. Drive-in facilities are prohibited at medical marijuana dispensaries.
