Following nearly one hour of testimony, the Florence Planning and Zoning Commission voted to forward an “unfavorable recommendation” to the Town Council on June 20, regarding an application to operate a medical marijuana dispensary in the town limits.
Rakesh Pahwa, a Phoenix businessman who owns Healing Healthcare 3 Inc., applied for a conditional use permit to operate a proposed medical marijuana dispensary at 801 N. Pinal Parkway. The site was formerly occupied by Big-O Tires and is zoned as “highway business commercial (B-2).”
Commission Chair Jeff Wooley made the motion for an unfavorable recommendation, seconded by Vice Chairman Larry Putrick. The vote was 4-0, with member James Petty absent.
