COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater City Council approved an ordinance on a 7-2 vote Monday night that would eliminate marijuana grow establishments from the special land use approval process for property zoned industrial within the city.
Four special land use requests have been approved since May of 2021 but only Craft Leaf LLC at 211 West Garfield has been licensed by the State of Michigan and the City of Coldwater.
The smell from these types of businesses has been one of the concerns. There have been discussions about taking this step over the last two years spearheaded by Mayor Tom Kramer.
Council members Emily Rissman and John Petzko cast the no votes. Rissman expressed her dissatisfaction during the Council’s October 14 meeting.
Grower and excess grower licenses have been permitted in D-2 Heavy Industrial zoned areas with special land use approval. Special land use approval is also needed for microbusinesses to operate in areas zoned C-4 General Business.
There have not been any applications for a microbusiness.
