The Denver City Council gave preliminary approval to relax rules that require marijuana social consumption businesses to operate at least 1,000 feet from schools, child care facilities, drug and alcohol treatment centers and city recreation buildings.
The potential policy change comes almost a year after city officials rejected a proposed “cannabis spa and lounge” because the facility was 19 feet too close to a child care facility.
The council’s vote is a preliminary move and will require a final vote at a future council meeting, the newspaper noted.
