The City Council on Monday put an end to months of debate over how the sale of marijuana should be managed, passing a measure limiting the number of cannabis businesses that can open in the city and setting distance buffers from schools and parks.
The council by a vote of 8-0 to set a cap for both recreational pot shops and medical marijuana dispensaries at five and the number of product-manufacturing facilities at three.
That is the number of cannabis businesses that currently exist in Wheat Ridge.
But the vote didn't come without plenty of concern from residents – many of whom wore red anti-pot stickers on their shirts – about the burgeoning cannabis industry and its place in the city.
Wheat Ridge, along with Edgewater and Mountain View, are the only cities in Denver's western suburbs that allow the sale of recreational pot.
