Last month, the Yukon City Council passed an ordinance that would restrict where dispensaries can sell medical marijuana.The ordinance states medical marijuana dispensaries would have to be at least 1,000 feet away from a school, park, church, museum, day care, jail or another dispensary. If the ordinance goes into effect, that would leave only a small area south of I-40 where a dispensary could legally be placed.Now, city officials have proposed some changes, saying dispensaries only have to be 300 feet away from the above-listed places. The only exception would be schools, from which dispensaries would still have to be 1,000 feet away."They are still overstepping, even with commercial," resident Trey Bishop said.He said the ordinance is still not right, even though it opens up more opportunities for dispensaries in Yukon."They are conceding a little bit, but State Question 788 doesn't give them any authority to even make a dispensary 300 feet away from some of these places," Bishop said.City Council members will discuss and vote on the proposed ordinance on Sept. 18. If it passes, Bishop said he and others will do what they can to overturn it.

Last month, the Yukon City Council passed an ordinance that would restrict where dispensaries can sell medical marijuana.

The ordinance states medical marijuana dispensaries would have to be at least 1,000 feet away from a school, park, church, museum, day care, jail or another dispensary. If the ordinance goes into effect, that would leave only a small area south of I-40 where a dispensary could legally be placed.

Now, city officials have proposed some changes, saying dispensaries only have to be 300 feet away from the above-listed places. The only exception would be schools, from which dispensaries would still have to be 1,000 feet away.

"They are still overstepping, even with commercial," resident Trey Bishop said.

He said the ordinance is still not right, even though it opens up more opportunities for dispensaries in Yukon.

"They are conceding a little bit, but State Question 788 doesn't give them any authority to even make a dispensary 300 feet away from some of these places," Bishop said.

City Council members will discuss and vote on the proposed ordinance on Sept. 18. If it passes, Bishop said he and others will do what they can to overturn it.
