CALIFORNIA APPEALS COURT STRIKES DOWN LAKE FOREST BAN ON DISPENSARIES
CITY OF LAKE FOREST v EVERGREEN HOLISTIC COLLECTIVE #G043909
Return To OnlinePot’s Legal Section Main Page
CA APPEALS COURT STRIKES DOWN LAKE FOREST BAN ON DISPENSARIES – PROVIDED THEY CULTIVATE ON SITE
ORANGE Co: In a significant but strange medical marijuana ruling, the 4th District Court of Appeals, 3rd Division struck down Lake Forest’s ban on dispensaries. The court ruled that local governments may not prohibit dispensaries as a per se nuisance, provided the dispensary is located where cultivation takes place. In practice, of course, hardly any dispensaries cultivate on site due to the obvious security problems. Nonetheless, the court concluded that SB 420 authorizes only "grow-site dispensaries." It will be interesting to see how this plays out. This not unfavorable yet cockamamie ruling cries out for a legislative fix.

CITY OF LAKE FOREST v EVERGREEN HOLISTIC COLLECTIVE #G043909
PDF Text of decision: G043909.PDF
(EXCERPT)
The trial court granted the City of Lake Forest‟s (the City‟s) request in this nuisance abatement proceeding for a preliminary injunction shutting down Evergreen Holistic Collective‟s (Evergreen‟s) medical marijuana dispensary based on a citywide ban against dispensaries. The trial court determined the City‟s decision not to recognize dispensaries as a permitted property use, and to prohibit unpermitted uses, established a complete ban against the activity. Evergreen contends dispensaries are authorized by Health and Safety Code section 11362.775‟s endorsement of “collective[]” and “cooperative[]” medical marijuana activities, and, therefore, what the Legislature has authorized, the City may not ban.1
We conclude local governments may not prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries altogether, with the caveat that the Legislature authorized dispensaries only at sites where medical marijuana is “collectively or cooperatively . . . cultivate[d].” (§ 11362.775.) Section 11362.775 exempts qualified medical marijuana patients and their primary caregivers not only from criminal prosecution for authorized collective or cooperative activities, but also from nuisance abatement proceedings. Thus, the Legislature has determined the activities it authorized at collective or cooperative cultivation sites, including a dispensary function, do not constitute a nuisance.
Under the City‟s municipal code, in contrast, violation of its zoning ordinances constitutes a per se, categorical nuisance. Under the City‟s ban, a medical marijuana dispensary always constitutes a nuisance, though the Legislature has concluded otherwise. Because the City‟s ban directly contradicts state law, it is preempted and furnishes no valid basis for a preliminary injunction in the City‟s favor. Rather, the City must show Evergreen did not grow its marijuana on-site or otherwise failed to comply
with applicable state medical marijuana law or permissible local regulations. Because the trial court granted the City‟s injunction request solely on the basis of the City‟s total ban, we must reverse the preliminary injunction and remand the matter for further proceedings.
