Hazel Park approves special land use and city license for non-extraction marijuana processor at 22813 Dwinder
Summary
The Hazel Park City Council approved special land use and granted a city operating license for a non-extraction marijuana processing facility at 22813 Dwinder after the planning commission's conditional approval; the administration said the facility poses no greater fire risk than other commercial uses.
Hazel Park's City Council voted March 16 to approve special land use and grant a city operating license for a non-extraction marijuana processing facility at 22813 Dwinder. City planning staff said the Planning Commission conditionally approved the site plan and recommended special land use approval after finding the application met the city's eight criteria for special land uses.
Planner James told the council the facility is non-extraction, meaning it does not use solvents or high-pressure gases, and administration recommended approval with conditions already imposed by the Planning Commission. Amanda Mason, the city's cannabis coordinator, confirmed the application is for cold processing and that applicants were present to answer questions.
Council members moved to approve the special land use and then to grant the city operating license. Council approved both motions; the transcript records the motions as passed but does not include a roll-call tally in the public record provided.
Administration and council emphasized the two-step approval process: Planning Commission/site-plan review and special land use followed by a separate city operating license decision. Council members also asked applicants about conflicts of interest and were told none existed.
The action permits the business to operate under the city's conditions for non-extraction processing; details of those conditions are recorded in the Planning Commission materials and the administration's memo to council. No further conditions or vote tallies were specified on the transcript.
