Three council members – Sabra Briere, Mike Anglin and Sandi Smith – were in favor of letting the Treecity Health Collective continue operating at 1712 S. State St., south of Stimson on the west side of State near the University of Michigan Golf Course.
The dispensary was zoned out of business at that location when the council passed a medical marijuana ordinance earlier this year regulating where dispensaries can be located.
Rather than move to a new location, Treecity owner Francis Clark, who has been represented by spokeswoman Dori Edwards at recent meetings, was asking for the 0.13-acre site to be rezoned from an office district to a local business district.
Both the city's planning staff and the Planning Commission recommended that the dispensary's request be denied because the proposed zoning wasn't consistent with the adjacent zoning, surrounding land uses or the city's master plan.
The site contains a 1,310-square-foot converted single-family home that's been used as a dispensary and a 583-square-foot detached garage that is rented out to a physician one day per week and used for member meetings one day per month.
There are nine gravel parking spaces on the site, and about 30 vehicles visit the site daily, according to Treecity, which opened last year.
