Increasing the number of medical marijuana businesses in the city of Apache Junction beyond the two presently approved and considering home delivery were discussed at the Jan. 17 meeting of the Apache Junction Planning and Zoning Commission.
The commission voted 7-0 to bring the item back to the 7 p.m. Feb. 14 meeting in the city council chambers, 300 E. Superstition Blvd. Voting yes were Chairwoman Tess Nesser, Vice Chairman Peter Heck, and commissioners Luciano Buzzin, Michael Frank, Willie Howard, Michael McGraw and Robert Schroeder.

Rudy Esquivias, senior planner for the city of Apache Junction, told the commission that SVACCHA LLC is seeking to amend the city’s nonprofit medical marijuana use regulations to allow for medical marijuana facilities, including dispensaries, cultivation facilities and infusion facilities, as determined by the Arizona Department of Health Services for the Apache Junction Community Health Analysis Area, also known as CHAA.
SVACCHA LLC is the recipient of a new dispensary license for the Apache Junction CHAA, which includes the city limits east to Gold Canyon and south to north of Pecos Road.
