The Dalles City Council has taken action to allow two retail marijuana outlets separated by Interstate 84 but less than one-thousand feet from each other as required under City ordinances to operate.  One of the businesses was the first to receive a license from the state, but the other was given City permits before the buffer requirement was established.  Councilors decided not to pursue any action after coming out of an executive session, and Mayor Steve Lawrence says that resolves this particular issue.  Lawrence adds anybody who applies for a retail marijuana business from now on will be subject to the one-thousand-foot separation rule.
