The number of commercial cannabis businesses that may be permitted to operate in the city shall be established by resolution of the city council.

(A) This section is intended to identify a maximum number of commercial cannabis businesses that may be authorized to operate in the city. Nothing in this chapter creates a mandate that the city council must authorize any or all of the commercial cannabis businesses if it is determined that the applicant(s) do not meet the application standards or will negatively impact public health, safety, or welfare.

(B) Each year following the city council's initial award of permits, if any, or at any time in the city council's discretion, the city council may reassess the number of commercial cannabis businesses that may be authorized. The city council in its discretion, may determine by resolution whether to reduce, maintain or expand the number of commercial cannabis businesses.
