The Dalles City Planning Commission is sending a series of recommendations to the City Council on zoning for the processing, production, wholesaling, and retailing of recreational marijuana.  When it comes to retail outlets, the recommendations are similar to what is already in place for medical marijuana dispensaries.  Planning Director Dick Gassman says that means there would be one-thousand foot buffers around facilities like playgrounds, schools, and churches.  The recommendation on processing, manufacturing, and growing recreational marijuana calls for limiting those operations to industrial zones.  The planning commission opinions go to the City Council for discussion at that panel’s June 13 meeting.
