Conditional-use permit granted for cannabis retail at 2200 Penfield Road with town hours condition
Summary
The board approved a conditional-use application for a cannabis retail dispensary at 2200 Penfield Road, subject to the town's recently adopted hours ordinance and standard security, ventilation and fire-safety conditions.
The Penfield Zoning Board approved a conditional-use permit for a cannabis retail dispensary at 2200 Penfield Road on an aye vote, with conditions requiring the applicant to follow the town's recently updated hours ordinance and to meet standard security, ventilation and fire-safety requirements.
Francis Gorman, an attorney with Harris Beach representing the applicant, and Ryan Martin, a site representative, answered board questions about noise, hours and security. The chair alerted the applicants that a recent local law limiting establishment closing times had taken effect; the applicants acknowledged receiving the update and agreed to abide by the town's hours.
Board members noted the application's thorough documentation for ventilation, security and parking. The board declared the application an unlisted action under SEQR, issued a negative declaration, and approved the conditional use with the condition that the hours align with the town ordinance and that departmental permits be met.
The approval allows the applicant to proceed to technical permitting; the board flagged routine verification items — security systems, ventilation and parking — for follow-up by municipal departments.
