Ordinance Committee Committee Meeting
The committee held a meeting to review two primary agenda items. The first item was a zone change application for 12 Crescent Street, which was ultimately withdrawn without prejudice by the applicant. The second item involved a special permit application for Red Barn Growers LLC, proposing the relocation of a marijuana manufacturing establishment within the same facility. The committee discussed the necessity of updated security plans, the requirement for a designer certificate to verify compliance with local building codes and zoning ordinances, and the applicant's operational timeline and progress.
