Resident alerts commissioners to proposed marijuana dispensary near Regis University rehab facility; planners to follow up
Summary
At public comment during the April 1 Adams County meeting, resident Don Claps urged commissioners to review a proposed marijuana dispensary he says would sit about 100 feet from a drug rehabilitation facility on or near Regis University and asked staff to check an email he previously sent to planners.
During the public comment period at the April 1 meeting, Don Claps of Brighton told the board he had emailed county staff about a proposed marijuana dispensary on "80 Third in Washington" that he said would be located directly across the street from a drug rehabilitation facility associated with Regis University, about 100 feet away.
Claps said Adams County planners appeared to be "excited" about the development but that the proposal strained to comply with statutes and regulations because of a lack of parking. He left printed copies of his email and attachments for county staff and told commissioners he was available to discuss his concerns.
Chair and staff acknowledged receipt of public comment and said the county would follow up; the board noted public comment is not a format for back-and-forth dialogue. Commissioner Odorizio later said staff would look into the licensing process and respond to the substantive and process concerns raised by the speaker.
