It could soon be easier to open a marijuana dispensary in unincorporated areas of Pima County, as county leaders ask for the public's opinion of proposed zoning changes.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Pima County could make it easier to open marijuana dispensaries in unincorporated areas of the county.
“We were very careful, cautious,” Pima County Chief Zoning Inspector Tom Drzazgowski said of the current ordinance regarding dispensaries under county jurisdiction.“One of the things we learned throughout the last 12 years is the state highly regulates [dispensaries],” Drzazgowski said. “And a lot of the perceived impacts that maybe were though of in 2010 have not really come to fruition, in our experience.
It would also shorten the minimum setbacks between dispensaries and parks, schools and libraries to 500 feet. It would also allow licensed dispensaries to establish off-site cannabis cultivation in the county’s rural areas. Several dispensaries have opened in the city of Tucson and in other Arizona cities, but many steps remain before Pima County can make any changes to its zoning language.
