Existing medical marijuana dispensaries and dual-licensee facilities may be allowed to move within 1,000 feet of a like business under a plan to be decided by the Mesa City Council.
The Mesa Planning and Zoning Board on May 24 voted 5-0 on a consent agenda with other items to recommend that the city council approve changes to the zoning ordinance including modifying the spacing requirements for medical- and recreational-marijuana facilities that are permitted in the light industrial and general industrial zoning districts. Absent were board members Genessee Montes and Troy Peterson.
Medical marijuana and dual recreational/medical marijuana dispensaries must currently be separated by 5,280 feet — one mile, Assistant Planning Director Rachel Nettles said in a study session prior to the meeting.
