Council introduces ordinance to allow cannabis processing at restricted industrial site, sends to Planning & Zoning
Summary
The council introduced Ordinance 2025-04 to apply a floating cannabis overlay to a unit in a restricted industrial condominium, allowing a cannabis processor use; the ordinance was referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review.
The Westminster Mayor and Common Council on March 10 introduced Ordinance 2025-04, which would apply a floating cannabis overlay to a portion of a property in the city's IR (restricted industrial) zone to allow a cannabis processor use at Unit 8 of the Iliran 4 Condominium parcel identified by tax account O7153155.
Planning staff described the request on behalf of applicant Harold Graves and said the overlay would permit a cannabis processing use while the property would continue to be subject to underlying IR zone regulations and the cannabis overlay district rules. Planning Director Depo told the council staff recommends introduction and referral to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and a recommendation back to council.
Councilmember Gilbert moved to introduce the ordinance and Councilmember Hoff seconded. The council voted in favor by voice vote; the ordinance was introduced and referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for formal review.
Staff noted the introduction does not grant final approval for a use permit; any eventual permit would need to conform to the underlying industrial zone standards and overlay regulations and to secure any additional approvals required by city code or the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Planning staff will place the item on the next available Planning and Zoning Commission agenda for study and recommendation to the council.
