Cairo to re‑examine zoning rules for cannabis sales after local business applies
Summary
The Town Board said it will revisit a proposed amendment to the town zoning law related to cannabis uses after a business applied to sell cannabis on a parcel described as across from the liquor store. The board instructed zoning staff to continue review and follow up with the applicant.
The Cairo Town Board on April 7 said it will take another look at a proposed local law amending the town zoning code to address cannabis uses after a local business applied for permission to sell cannabis.
Minutes state the applicant’s location was described as across the street from the liquor store. The board did not vote on a text change or on any application at the meeting; instead, members indicated they will refer the matter back to the zoning department for further review.
Board discussion noted only that a business has applied and that the board needs to consider zoning implications; the minutes do not record a timetable, public‑hearing date, or any conditions attached to potential approval. The board also discussed an individual residential zoning complaint separately during the meeting and reiterated that zoning enforcement has visited properties when complaints arise.
Any formal change to the zoning law or an approval of a retail cannabis application would require subsequent board action and, if applicable, the public hearings or referrals required by state and local law.
