LINO LAKES — The city's zoning ordinance regarding cannabis microbusiness and mezzobusinesses will undergo changes following discussion among members of the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board and pending City Council approval.
A mezzobusiness holds a license that allows a single holder to cultivate, manufacture, and sell cannabis products. It can also operate up to three retail locations.
The proposed new ordinance would allow microbusiness or mezzobusiness business with a retail operations endorsement to operate in a business district and be limited to retail operations. On-site consumption would not be allowed. It also states that a cultivation endorsement would be required for a microbusiness or mezzobusiness to operate in a rural district and the business would be limited to that use.
According to the staff report, the same adjustment is recommended for these two types of businesses within the neighborhood business, the limited business and the general business zoning districts. Currently, a cannabis retail business is a permitted use within these districts.
In March 2025, the city amended City Code Section 1007 (its zoning ordinance) to provide for cannabis businesses within the specific zoning districts of the city.
