Zoning Board Denies Application For Cannabis Business In Residential Zone

August 8, 2025 Business, Cannabis, Zoning Board

**MAKING HIS CASE –** *Gary Burnett describes the cannabis business he wanted to put in a building at DeMott Lane and Amwell Road at the August 7 Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting.*

An application to locate a cannabis dispensary in a residentially zoned building at DeMott Lane and Amwell Road was denied August 7 by the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

The denial was based on a technicality; the application received four “yes” votes and three “no” votes, but applications seeking a use variance need a minimum of five “yes” votes to pass. The use variance was needed because retail uses are not allowed in R-20 Zones.
