West Wendover City Manager Chris Melville said before the vote that if recreational sales were approved, the ordinance would take effect Jan. 7, 2019.

The dispensary for marijuana sales hasn’t been built yet, although the council saw preliminary plans and approved the conditional use permit for the facility.

Melville said in late November the company expected to open sometime next summer.

DNR Holdings sought the conditional use permit for the dispensary that will be built on land the company is leasing from the City of West Wendover in the city’s industrial park. The permit was for a dispensary for both medical and recreational marijuana, with the tenant listed as Deep Roots Medical LLC.

The conditional use permit is for operation of a medical and recreational marijuana establishment at 395 Industrial Way, with the application including a site plan, preliminary landscape plan and a floor plan for the main floor and an upper floor of the more than 10,000-square-foot facility. Ascent Construction Inc. is contractor for the project.

The council held a public hearing on the use permit but no one spoke.
