Batavia Planners Vote Against Zoning For Marijuana Sales

BATAVIA, IL — The Batavia Plan Commission voted 7-0 Wednesday against a proposal to the city's zoning code that would lead to the establishment of zoning for four marijuana-related businesses, according to Kane County Chronicle. Planners believe Batavia should wait until city residents decide a November referendum regarding whether recreational cannabis dispensaries be allowed in Batavia, the news report said.
