Sec. 6-319. Delivery of retail marijuana authorized.
(a) Retail marijuana stores and marijuana transporters licensed to operate in the city are authorized to deliver retail marijuana and retail marijuana products to residences within the city, and to residences within any other jurisdiction that would allow delivery of retail marijuana from outside their jurisdiction.
(b) The city will allow the delivery of retail marijuana and retail marijuana products to be delivered into the city from outside jurisdictions in which the marijuana store has been licensed to deliver these products by the state and the local jurisdiction from which they reside.
(c) Retail marijuana and retail marijuana product deliveries are authorized between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., of which completion of delivery must be done by 10:00 p.m.
(d) The delivery of retail marijuana and retail marijuana product is limited to no more than one ounce of retail marijuana, no more than eight grams of retail marijuana concentrate, or retail marijuana products containing no more than 80 10-milligram servings of THC, per customer, per business day.
(e) No delivery is allowed in the city until the retail marijuana store or the retail marijuana transporter is properly permitted to deliver through the jurisdiction allowing the retail marijuana delivery. Aurora delivery permits must be obtained through the Aurora marijuana enforcement division. A permit shall not be issued until the applicable permit fees have been paid. The fee for each permit shall be set forth in a schedule of fees recommended by the local licensing authority and approved by the city manager as regulated in section 2-587.
(f) The city recognizes that ensuring social equity, under C.R.S. § 44-10-308, to applicants of delivery licenses is a shared purpose of the state and the city. In supporting the pursuit of social equity, the city provides that:
(1) For the first 36 months of this program, a city transporter license and delivery permit granted to a retail marijuana transporter, as defined under C.R.S. § 44-10-103, shall only go to social equity applicants through a program to be established by the city manager. After the 36-month period expires, any applicant qualified under the state and local rules may apply for and receive a transporter license and delivery permit from the city; and
(2) The city manager shall establish a grant program to fund 75 percent of the fees, listed in subsection (e) of this section, for social equity licensees. This grant will be for a 24-month period following the permit application. After the 24-month period expires, grant funds shall not be available for this purpose. (Ord. No. 2020-65, § 4, 12-21-2020)
