Medical marijuana will not be permitted to be grown in a residence or outdoors in the City of Anderson if the planning commission follows staff recommendations on Monday.

An ordinance governing the cultivation of medical marijuana in the City of Anderson will be heard by the city's planning commission Monday, Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. in the city council chambers on the third floor of city hall, 1887 Howard St. in Anderson.

City planning staff will recommend the commission adopt several measures pertaining to cultivation, according to the meeting agenda published on the city's Web site. Additionally, city staff recommends extending the moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries.

Restrictions and limitations on the drug's cultivation are needed in the interests of "public health, safety and welfare," Anderson Planning Director John Stokes said in a previous interview with the Valley Post.

According to recommendations, the only place for cultivation would be in a lockable out-building or greenhouse with a working security system. Growers would also have to file with the city and pay a $100 fee.

Anderson Planning Director John Stokes was not immediately available Friday afternoon for comment.
