Arizona Republic:  “A week after the Arizona Department of Health Services released its final rules for the voter-approved medical marijuana program, a Phoenix man is seeking city permission to build Chandler’s first marijuana-growing operation.  William Myer and his Arizona Organix wants a permit to cultivate marijuana in an industrial park building at 6730 W. Chicago St.”

Arizona Republic:  “A divided Chandler City Council approved medical marijuana zoning regulations that are among the Valley’s most restrictive and leave few locations for potential dispensaries. . . . So many commercial areas are close to subdivisions that this reduces potential Chandler dispensary locations to a handful of sites along Interstate 10, Price Road and the Santan Freeway.”

Arizona Republic:  “Chandler’s regulations for medical-marijuana dispensaries will likely be more restrictive than those in other Valley cities, forcing greater distances from schools, churches, day care centers and public parks and requiring additional permits for dispensaries that also grow marijuana. . . . Under the proposed Chandler law, dispensaries must be at least 5,280 feet from another medical-marijuana facility”

Arizona Republic:  “Chandler Planning and Zoning Commissioners unanimously recommended regulations for medical marijuana cultivation and dispensaries Wednesday night that require separate permits for selling and cultivating, allow 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. hours of operation and restrict locations.”

Arizona Republic:  “Proposals for [medical marijuana dispensary] restrictions in Chandler, including those below, go before the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission on Wednesday for an advisory vote before it goes to the City Council in February. The 7 p.m. commission meeting is in City Council Chambers, 88 E. Chicago St.”
