It is the policy and intent of the Village of Sea Cliff ("Village")
to prohibit the licensing and establishment of retail cannabis dispensaries
and/or on-site cannabis consumption establishments within the Village.
By the enactment of this chapter, the Board of Trustees is exercising
its authority to request, and is requesting, the New York State cannabis
control board to prohibit the establishment within the Village of
such retail dispensary licenses and/or on-site consumption licenses
otherwise authorized pursuant to Article four of the New York Cannabis
Law.
This article is enacted pursuant to New York Cannabis Law § 131,
which grants authority to the Village to opt out, and thereby prohibit,
the issuance of licenses for, and the operation of, retail cannabis
dispensaries and/or on-site cannabis consumption establishments in
the Village. This article is intended to exercise the said authority
of the Village to the maximum permissible extent.
