DuPage County Board member James Zay said there were plenty of other places on Roosevelt Road a dispensary could locate.
DuPage County Board members Tuesday turned down a zoning request that would have allowed for a cannabis dispensary near West Chicago.
Farm owner Joe Sheehan said he was disappointed in the vote and that he will be working with a dispensary license holder to locate one elsewhere in DuPage. West Chicago officials also filed a formal objection to the proposal with the county, forcing a supermajority, or 14 votes, to approve the zoning. Neighboring residents also voiced opposition and expressed concerns about property values, noise and light pollution. Others said they did not want a dispensary near their homes.
County board member Sheila Rutledge, however, argued the issue before the board was the zoning request, not the potential location of a dispensary on the property. The county board last year voted to change its zoning codes to allow for cannabis dispensaries.
