If a recreational marijuana dispensary were to set up shop in Batavia, it most likely would be located in the northeast side industrial park or the Randall Road commercial corridor, under a zoning plan approved by aldermen.
The Batavia City Council took action on Tuesday to establish zoning and regulations for pot shops. Meeting in committee, aldermen unanimously approved the plan, which came in response to public opinion.
In an advisory referendum last November, Batavia residents voted to allow recreational cannabis dispensaries to be permitted in the city, with nearly 62% in favor.
