On Monday, the Denver City Council approved a hotly-debated bill to ban new marijuana shops and grows, leaving a lock on the current number of stores. Applicants can apply to establish new marijuana businesses when the number of operations drops below the current cap, but the distribution of marijuana businesses will play a role in determining where they can operate.
A crucial element of the bill—and the long conversation that preceded it—is that marijuana is not only pervasive in Denver, but over-saturated in certain neighborhoods as well. To allow for a more even spread, the new law requires that an analysis determine which neighborhoods host the most and fewest marijuana shops and grows before the new applications are reviewed.
Pending applications filed before the vote will still be considered and could boost the final business tally.
