The applicant, Dallas Bell, did not appear for the hearing. The county planning commission and staff member recommended denial of the business proposed at 1708 E. Lincoln Ave., citing incompatibility with the neighborhood including its distance from a church and a child care facility. The denial marks the end of the county's review of applications for medical marijuana businesses. The commissioners voted to ban marijuana businesses last year but agreed to review applications of businesses that were already into the planning process when the ban was approved. Only two businesses were approved. Both are in industrial areas outside Fort Collins city limits. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard R Smith Jr.
