Where pot businesses can locate in Liberty Lake

Yesterday, the Liberty Lake City Council voted to end its year-long moratorium on recreational marijuana businesses.

Potential business owners said the zoning codes that replaced the moratorium would render most of the small town of 8,000 people unavailable for I-502 development.

Liberty Lake Police Chief Brian Asmus released these maps this morning, which clarify where different marijuana businesses could locate:

RETAILERS

Retail locations in Liberty Lake

PROCESSORS

Processor locations in Liberty Lake

PRODUCERS

Producer locations in Liberty Lake

The maps rebut claims that only one parcel, just south of Interstate 90, would be allowed under the zoning codes passed yesterday evening. The red areas indicate zones where a marijuana business could locate, but they must be outside the blue 1,000 foot buffers.

Also today, Spokane area marijuana retailers reported receiving letters from the U.S. Army listing I-502 shops as "off limits" to military personnel.
