Two neighbors who live near a recently-approved medical marijuana dispensary are suing the Phoenix volunteer board that cleared the way for the facility to open.
The Phoenix Board of Adjustment overturned a prior city decision in April, allowing the dispensary to open near 16th Street and Glendale Avenue despite its proximity to multiple neighborhoods and two places of worship.
Helen Houser and Julie Karasek, who live in one of those neighborhoods, are appealing the board’s decision in Maricopa County Superior Court. They allege the board did not impartially review the case.
