[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Southampton as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
[Adopted 12-23-2021 by L.L. No. 9-2021]
It is the intent of this article to opt the Village of Southampton
out of hosting retail cannabis dispensaries and/or on-site cannabis
consumption establishments within its boundaries.
This article is adopted pursuant to Cannabis Law § 131,
which expressly authorizes villages to opt out of allowing retail
cannabis dispensaries and/or on-site cannabis consumption establishments
to locate and operate within their boundaries.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Southampton hereby opts
out of licensing and establishing cannabis retail dispensaries and/or
cannabis on-site consumption establishments within its boundaries.
Furthermore, the Village of Southampton hereby requests that the State
of New York and/or the NYS Cannabis Control Board (and/or any other
governmental agency authorized to issue such license) prohibit the
establishment of any retail dispensary and/or on-site consumption
by refusing to grant any such license (which would otherwise permit
the sale and/or consumption of cannabis) within the Village of Southampton.
If a court determines that any clause, sentence, paragraph,
subdivision, or part of this article or the application thereof to
any person, firm or corporation, or circumstance is invalid or unconstitutional,
the court's order or judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate
the remainder of this article, but shall be confined in its operation
to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this article
or in its application to the person, individual, firm or corporation
or circumstance directly involved in the controversy in which such
judgment or order shall be rendered.
