Arizona Republic:  “The most likely way Glendale residents will know if a medical-marijuana facility sets up shop in the city is when the business opens.  The City Council in February adopted regulations for medical-marijuana facilities that don’t require merchants to apply for a conditional-use permit, which could trigger a public hearing. . . . Glendale has received nine applications since March 25. Five were either rejected by city planners because the location conflicted with the zoning or were withdrawn by the applicant.”

Arizona Republic:  “The Glendale City Council on Tuesday unanimously passed regulations for medical marijuana facilities that operate in the city. . . . Glendale’s restrictions, which will take effect in 30 days, will put dispensaries in general office and certain commercial zones and cultivation and manufacturing facilities in light and heavy industrial zones.”

Arizona Republic:  “A Glendale City Council majority this week pushed to extend hours for merchants to sell cannabis beyond what staff proposed. However, council wants to limit the size of cultivation facilities for growers.  Glendale is trying to enact a zoning ordinance before March 1.”

Arizona Republic:  “Residents armed with questions attended a community meeting Thursday to hear Glendale’s proposed zoning restrictions on marijuana-related facilities.  City planners propose to allow dispensaries in general-office, general-commercial and heavy-commercial zones and the cultivation in light- and heavy-industrial zones.”

Arizona Republic:  “Glendale is proposing a zoning amendment to limit registered non-profit medical marijuana dispensaries to manufacturing and industrial areas of the city.  City staff will host a meeting to gather public comments on the proposed zoning code amendment. Under Proposition 203, the only distance limit prohibits dispensaries from locating within 500 feet of schools.”
