Hurley looking at locations where marijuana shops can be established
Town Zoning Revision Committee members are looking at locations where pot shops and smoking lounges can be established and the special use regulations that will be needed for the use.
Chairman Peter McKnight during a video conference meeting Wednesday said the committee will be reviewing what other municipalities have adopted.
“We’ll want to consider … the minimum or maximum square footage like we would with a bar,” he said. “Will we allow tasting versus … somebody purchasing? We may not want people tasting and then getting on the road.”
The town last year declined to opt out of either retail sales or on-site consumption of cannabis, leaving it only able to regulate the activities through land use regulations.
