Findlay City Planning Commission Approves Two Cannabis Dispensaries

The Findlay City Planning Commission approved the applications for two cannabis dispensaries.

 

One will be located at 2205 Tiffin Avenue, which was formerly a Dollar General, and the other will be located at 1501 West Main Cross Street, which was formerly Guaranteed Auto.

 

The application for the location on Tiffin Avenue was filed by Curaleaf OGT Inc., and the application for West Main Cross was filed by Trulieve, Oh Inc.

 

The applications for conditional use were approved on the condition that the applicants comply with all requirements from the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control.

 

Earlier in the year, Findlay City Council approved an ordinance creating the zoning code to allow for the retail sale of cannabis in the city for recreational or medical use.

 

A Cannabis Overlay District allowing for adult-use cannabis dispensaries has been added to the Findlay Zoning code.

 

The city said the purpose of the Cannabis Overlay District allows for up to two dispensaries to operate in the city.

 

The district regulations are designed to encourage compatibility with adjacent or nearby land uses, the city said.

 

The overlay district consists of four areas:

 

Tiffin Avenue

 

I-75 exit 161 / CR 99

 

Trenton Avenue (west of I-75)

 

West Main Cross Street / I-75

 

The city previously placed a 12 month moratorium on the establishment of dispensaries.

 

Ohio voters approved the legalization of recreational marijuana in November of 2023.
