In a rare move, Maricopa Planning and Zoning Commission wasn’t unanimous in greenlighting a new business in town.
The commission approved a permit for the proposed Trulieve of Maricopa marijuana dispensary in a 6-1 vote during last night’s meeting.
The one opposing vote came from Commissioner Jim Irving, who took issue with the store’s proximity to schools and common areas where children gather. The pot shop will sit on the southeast corner of John Wayne Parkway and Honeycutt Avenue, sitting just south of the Lowe’s Home Improvement store currently under construction.
