A. Notwithstanding the provisions of Chapter 17.64 and Section 17.47.010, a site shall be treated for all purposes of this chapter as if no part of the site were within six hundred feet of any public park when both of the following are true: (1) a use permit has been properly issued for a retail commercial cannabis use on the site and (2) as a result of the adoption of this chapter (and but for the existence of this section), the commercial cannabis use would be a legal nonconforming use because a building on the site is within six hundred feet of a public park.

B. The intent of this section is to both (1) permit a retail commercial cannabis use that is allowed under a conditional use permit that was issued for that use prior to the adoption of this chapter to expand, or add additional commercial cannabis uses on its site as if the site were not located within six hundred feet of a public park and (2) not classify any such use as a nonconforming use solely because of the proximity to a public park of an existing or new structure on that site.
