LARIMER COUNTY LEADERS DENY MMJ BUSINESS

The Larimer County commissioners on Monday denied an application from
Caring Touch Network to establish a medical marijuana grow and
delivery service in an area outside Fort Collins city limits.

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.
