Local progress on dispensaries

Within Washoe County, governments are moving forward on medical dispensaries for marijuana, with Reno bringing up the rear.

County commissioners approved rules on where medical marijuana facilities will be permitted in county jurisdiction.

In Sparks, language on zoning for dispensaries went to the city planning commission and the Sparks City Council will take up ordinances and zoning at its April 28 meeting.

The Reno City Council directed city staffers to prepare language for ordinances.
