1 Cannabis Testing Laboratory Ordinance City Council January 23, 2018

2 Irvine Zoning Ordinance Chapter 3-39 Prohibition of Cannabis Approved by City Council in 2016 Prohibited all commercial cannabis uses, including but not limited to: Deliveries; Cultivation; Dispensaries, Manufacturing, Distribution, and Testing Laboratories; All cannabis related uses.

3 Effects of California Legislation Changes Numerous legislative changes have occurred since 2016 Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA); Proposition 64 Resulted in a streamlined permitting process for medicinal and recreational marijuana businesses; Also resulted in the need for testing laboratories to test medicinal and recreational marijuana before being released into the market.

4 Purpose of Cannabis Testing Laboratories MAUCRSA makes is clear that the protection of the public is paramount. Ensures cannabis goods offered for sale are safe for human consumption. Testing laboratories are wholly independent from any other cannabis business (owners/operators of laboratories cannot be owners/operators of a dispensary, cultivation site, manufacturer, distributor, etc.)
