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.

An owner of a music club and restaurant is seeking help from Batavia to open a comedy club in its downtown.
The Comedy Vault would be at 18 E. Wilson St. in the space last occupied by a State Bank of Geneva branch, according to city administrator Laura Newman. One of its owners also owns the EvenFlow nightclub in downtown Geneva.
The club s owners estimate it will cost about $250,000 to remodel the building, according to Newman. They are seeking a $25,000 grant and a $75,000 loan from the city to help pay for the work.
Aldermen this week voted 13-0 to have the grant and loan documents drawn up. The council will make a final decision on the request later.
