More than a month after a measure passed by voters permitting recreational marijuana took effect, some area cities are looking into what they want their zoning codes to say about it.
Streetsboro and Ravenna are discussing zoning issues around adult cannabis after passage of a statewide ballot issue opened the door to recreational marijuana.
Bob Finney, Ravenna’s city engineer, said he recently received an email from one of the owners of Supergood, a medical marijuana dispensary in the city. The letter, Finney said, stated that it looked like the state law would permit dispensaries such as Supergood to add adult cannabis to their offerings within 90 days, and asked what the city’s stance was on the issue. Council’s planning committee discussed some potential regulations before ultimately deciding to keep the matter in committee for further discussion.
