<br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />A. The City of Louisville’s existing local licensing authority, previously established <br />pursuant to chapter 5.08 of this Code, shall have and exercise all the powers expressly <br />granted and necessarily implied to regulate the licensing of retail marijuana <br />establishments in the City of Louisville, including without limitation all such powers set <br />forth in this chapter, the Colorado Retail Marijuana Code, and all related rules and <br />regulations, as from time to time amended. <br /> <br />B. The local licensing authority may grant, approve, renew, or refuse licenses under <br />this chapter; conduct investigations as are required by law or as are appropriate to the <br />administration of this chapter; suspend or revoke licenses; and levy penalties, sanctions <br />and other conditions against licensees in the manner provided by law. <br /> <br />C. The local licensing authority shall have the authority to promulgate rules and <br />regulations for its administration of the licensing requirements of this chapter, and shall <br />have the power to issue subpoenas as provided in section 5.08.130 of this Code, as from <br />time to time amended. <br /> <br />Sec. 5.11.050. License requirements. <br /> <br />It shall be unlawful for any person to establish or operate a retail marijuana <br />establishment in the city without first having obtained a license for such business from <br />the state and local licensing authorities. Such licenses shall be kept current at all times, <br />and the failure to maintain current licenses shall constitute a violation of this section. <br /> <br />Sec. 5.11.060. Screening and response to state license applications. <br /> <br />A. Upon receipt of an application from the state licensing authority for a retail <br />marijuana license, the secretary of the local licensing authority shall: <br /> <br />1. Initially determine, in consultation with the Planning and Building <br />Safety Department, whether or not the proposed location complies with any and <br />all zoning and land use laws of the city and any and all restrictions on locations <br />and types of retail marijuana establishments permitted within the city as set forth <br />in this chapter. If the secretary makes an initial determination that the proposed <br />license would be in violation of any zoning law or other restriction set forth in this <br />Code, the secretary shall notify the state licensing authority in writing that the <br />application is disapproved by the city. The failure of the secretary to make such a <br />determination upon the initial review of a state license application shall not <br />preclude the local licensing authority or the secretary from determining that the <br />proposed license is in violation of any zoning law or other restriction set forth in <br />this Code, and disapprove the issuance of a local license on this basis.
