KITTERY Before the town s retail marijuana ordinance blazes forward, town staff will review the distances between cannabis businesses to aid the Planning Board in crafting its proposal.
Planning Board Vice Chair Karen Kalmar said Thursday she believes it’s a “legitimate strategy” to limit marijuana businesses by distance in town zones that are primarily for residential development.
“Is anyone (as) concerned as I am that we might have a glut of one kind of development that might undercut our desire to have residential development in the area?” she asked.
Discussed since the winter, a retail ordinance would allow up to five marijuana retail establishments to be located in Kittery’s C-1, C-2, C-3 and mixed-use zoning districts by special exception.
