Harrison Township rejects proposed ordinance to allow colocation of marijuana grow operations
Summary
A proposed amendment to Chapter 22, Section 22-93 to allow multiple marijuana businesses to colocate at a single grow site failed on a 4-3 vote; supporters said it would allow more efficient use of space while opponents opposed the change.
The board considered an ordinance amendment introduced May 26 to permit colocation of different marihuana grow operations at the same physical address under Chapter 22, Section 22-93 of the township code. The clerk explained the proposal would not increase the number of licensed locations but would allow additional permitted businesses to share physical space as the industry evolves.
Trustee discussion proceeded to a roll-call vote on whether to introduce the ordinance. The motion to introduce failed on a 4-3 vote: AYES — Kenneth Verkest, Adam Wit, David Bratto; NAYS — Lawrence Tomenello, Brian Batkins, Dean Olgiati, Liza Rabaut. The meeting materials and transcript do not record further public comment or the underlying arguments in detail.
Because the motion to introduce did not carry, the proposed text will not be published or scheduled for subsequent hearings unless the board reintroduces it at a later meeting.
