After reviewing maps outlining potential properties in the commercial and industrial districts that could qualify for recreational cannabis businesses, the Bronson City Council decided on Monday to delegate the issue to the Planning Commission for further consideration.
The topic of allowing recreational cannabis businesses in Bronson has been under discussion for over a year, but no formal decisions have been made by the City Council to date.
City Manager Brandon Mersman noted in his report that the City of Coldwater's GIS Department assisted Bronson by creating the maps used in the discussion. These maps illustrated which properties would be eligible for cannabis businesses at buffer zones of 200, 500, and 1,000 feet.
Council President Matt Watkins suggested that both the revenue potential from such establishments and the eligibility maps should be thoroughly reviewed by the Bronson Planning Commission.
Following Michigan voters' approval of recreational cannabis in November 2018, the Bronson City Council chose to opt out two months later. However, communities that opt out retain the option to opt in at any time.
