Recreational marijuana retailers still are not allowed in Houghton, but an ordinance approved Wednesday will regulate where they could go.
In a 4-3 vote, the Houghton City Council approved the ordinance, which imposes similar restrictions on location to the ones on medical marijuana. The limits — such as being 1,000 feet away from schools, churches, or residential areas — effectively limit to an area along Razorback Drive.
It also stipulates only one recreational marijuana retailer can operate in the city. That destructiveness had come under fire during public comments of previous hearings on the ordinance.
The ordinance will take effect after 10 days.
