A new medical marijuana business must provide a list of the names of its owners, management company and board of directors before a request for a six-month extension to open will be considered, Apache Junction’s planning commission decided recently.

A public hearing and consideration of a conditional use permit amendment for the approved non-profit medical marijuana dispensary at 1985 W. Apache Trail Suite No. 4 was heard before the Apache Junction Planning and Zoning Commission on July 10.

The commission voted 6-1 to continue the matter to Tuesday, July 24. The meeting begins 7 p.m. in the council chambers, 300 E. Superstition Blvd. Voting yes were Chairwoman Theresa Nesser, Vice Chairman Peter Heck and members Willie Howard, Steve Kridler, Robert Schroeder and Michael Frank. Voting no was Commissioner Michael McGraw.
