local ordinance

SHOPPING CENTERS

Benefits to locating dispensaries within shopping centers (compared to stand alone parcels not within a center):

  • Easier to regulate businesses in the same location
  • Land use compatibility
  • Easier for police to monitor
  • Site visits to one location easier for regulators
  • Convenient for businesses /collaborative management
  • Effective regulatory tool if only one outlet allowed per

site
