BoardCaribou Planning Board Planning Meeting
The board held a public hearing to discuss a request for an exception to the 300-ft buffer requirement for a medical cannabis dispensary seeking to relocate. Discussions centered on the zoning regulations, the history and purpose of the current buffer ordinance, and the potential impact of reducing these requirements. Participants evaluated whether to pursue a variance for the specific property or to modify the existing ordinance entirely. Concerns regarding odor control, property proximity, and the broader implications of modifying zoning standards were also addressed.
