Atlanta's Zoning Review Board recommended approval of a zoning amendment that would add a special-use permit requirement allowing state-licensed medical-cannabis and product dispensers to operate within distances restricted by state law. Its Aug. 13 marked agenda identifies the proposal as Z-26-41.

The proposal would also establish requirements for those permits and applies across all neighborhood planning units. The agenda lists approval recommendations from staff and the NPUs as well as the board; it records a recommendation rather than final adoption.
