New Council gets started with marijuana discussion

The Grand Junction City Council held a lengthy discussion at its Monday workshop on how to move forward with developing ordinances to regulate the newly allowed marijuana businesses. One of the main topics under discussion was over how to further engage the community to get input and feedback on those regulations. Interim Mayor Pro-Tem Chuck McDaniel said he felt the council needed significant public engagement. “My strong preference is to get this matter fully vetted among the public and listen to anyone who wants to say something about it,” McDaniel said. Senior Planner Lance Gloss gave the council a presentation laying out what work had been done on the marijuana regulation issue including the past public engagement.

Brew pub proposed for former REI building on North Ave

A new brewpub may be coming to North Avenue and revitalize the building that was formerly occupied by the Grand Junction REI store. The Grand Junction City Council cleared the way for the proposed business last week when it modified an ordinance to change the distance a brewpub can be located from a school from 500 feet to 450 feet. The building on the northwest corner of North Avenue and Seventh Street neighbors Grand Junction High School. In fact, the road just to the north of the property is Tiger Avenue, a nod to the school’s mascot. Sandra Weckerly, who is purchasing the property, spoke at the City Council meeting and said servers will be checking photo IDs when selling alcohol. She also said she did not expect there to be a high volume of to-go retail sales.
