COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater Planning Commission approved a special land use permit for the proposed Joyology recreational marijuana retail establishment at 365 North Willowbrook Road on Monday evening but the owner of another proposed marijuana business in the same complex is not happy.
Omar Fakhouri is a co-owner of Green Bronco, LLC which had their special land use permit approved by the Planning Commission last December.
He said in an e-mail addressed to City Planner Dean Walrack that he was concerned about the impact of having multiple retail dispensaries in the same plaza sharing one parking lot.
Fakhouri was worried about potential traffic problems and he felt the 42 parking spaces available will not be sufficient for the anticipated volume of customers.
But he added he was not opposed to more marijuana retailers opening in Coldwater.
The parking issue was discussed by the Planning Commission before the Joyology special use permit was approved.
Joyology, which is based out of Birmingham, recently opened at 104 West Chicago in the Village of Quincy and they have nearly two dozen stores in the State of Michigan.
